I'm 5 days past IUI today, period due on 31st of Jan. I ovulated on day 9 of my cycle this month. Really hoping it works as last time I did IUI in September last year was unsuccessful

Good luck everyone!! Hope to see some BFP's!

4dpo for me and the wait is so awful, I had a MMC 3 weeks ago and haven't had a period yet, I'm really anxious that having a period will make it seem too real that I'm not pregnant anymore so really hope we are lucky. Think we dtd a lot so gave it our best go.

@mumofoneboyhopingforanother i see something on all three! How exciting!

I’m only about 4-5DPO (not 100% sure it
i ovulated Saturday or Sunday) too early for me but I feel like I can smell a lot today. Not sure if it’s just in my head though as it is so early.

I don't actually know when to test... came off the pill in October after being on it for two years. One period in nov and one in Dec (starting on Xmas eve). So not really sure when and if I ovulated or when I'm due! Last cycle was 32 days which is similar to before I had my daughter 3yrs ago. One app says AF is due 21st and one 29th but both have the same data inputted? One says I might have ovulated 7th and the other the 15th! Might have to get some OPKs for next month to help save confusion!!! Hopefully we covered all basis this month...

Anyone tested yet? Any BFPs?
@mumofoneboyhopingforanother did you do another test?!

Yes I did and they are slowly getting there, I have worked out I'm actually only 9dpo today so still very early but there's something there and my partner as seen it. Hoping for a darker more distinctive line tomorrow 🤞🏻❤️

Yolo23 · 16/01/2023 18:33

@Tottenhaminmyblood yep! It’s my first 🥰 what about you? Xx

Rabbithole27 · 16/01/2023 17:35

Ahh, that’s good to know thank you!! I read vitamin C and B6 can help so I’ve been taking them the last few months. I ovulate quite early usually around CD 10 - 12 and then my cycles are only 21 - 23 days. I’ve always had short cycles but just used to see it as annoying having AF so regularly but never realised how much it can impact TTC 😫good luck to you too! 💫

UserL95 · 16/01/2023 17:20

@Rabbithole27 i also have a short LP as I ovulate around CD16-18 and AF arrives CD29-31. I’ve been ttc#1 for 12 months now. I’ve recently started taking L-arganine and vitamin E supplements alongs side some others - apparently both can help with building uterine lining which is essentially the main part of LP and why having a shorter LP is undesirable. Good luck!! ✨

Tottenhaminmyblood · 16/01/2023 13:32

@Rabbithole27 do you normally test early ? When are you planning to ? The 28th feels so far away from me and we had a real tough week of ovulation and only DTD once so I think I’m probably out .

This is my 4th cycle, I didn’t test early the first one but did the second and third - can’t decide if it helped as it put me out of my misery early or was harder because I kept convincing myself is just too early 😂I have short cycles so AF is due when I’m only 11 dpo which I’ve heard can make things more difficult when TTC. Think I’ll probably wait until Saturday to test… what about you?

Swiftie12 · 16/01/2023 16:20

Me! Due on 30/01. It’s only our first cycle but the wait is terrible tbh. I’m an impatient person anyway, we’re away next weekend which I’m hoping will take my mind off it, will try to hold off testing too early but knowing me I won’t manage to. I keep mentioning to my other half how long the wait is and he’s incredibly chill about it 😂 I think when it’s your own body and you’re noticing every little symptom and sign it’s so different.

iGotADilemma · 16/01/2023 16:07

Hi everyone
Can I join? TTC #2, been trying on and off for 7 months but this month was the first proper month of trying. DS was conceived 2nd month so I'm hoping this one will be quick too. Currently 6dpo and AF due on 26th. Been feeling bloated/gassy/sore and hoping it's a good sign. I forgot how brutal the TWW is, it's all I can think about!!

ConstantlyWorrying · 16/01/2023 15:37

Have you tried shining a light (like from your torch on phone) behind the test to see if there's a line? (I used to do it for covid tests and it helps you see a faint line)!

Also on the TTW! I have irregular periods (recently off the pill and only two periods since October) so no idea when I ovulated or when aunt Flo is coming! Using two apps: Ovia says period due 21st and MyCalendar says 29th...

Yes tried shining a light but I think it's that faint and more a shadow it's not really showing anything, I'll test tomorrow morning with a cheap one and see how it is. Xx

@mumofoneboyhopingforanother that's really playing tricks on my eyes as I'm sure I can see something then I'm not sure 🤔

Change the picture to inverted colour and you should be able to see better

AgeGapBbe · 16/01/2023 14:55

I’m due AF on the 20th, am 9dpo. I thought I felt a bit nauseous this morning but that’s all.

mumofoneboyhopingforanother · 16/01/2023 14:43

I'm due on the 22nd, I know too early to test but I'm sure I see a shadow. 7/8dpo so technically shouldn't see anything. Been having cramps and achy boobs as well as severe nausea.

Hoping for baby number 2 to give my gorgeous boy a sibling and to grow our family 🤞🏻

Due 29th - cycle 11 TTC number 3

UserL95 · 16/01/2023 14:23

Hi everyone, AF due on 26th for me ✋ 12 cycles of TTC

BambiBooBoo · 16/01/2023 14:01

Tottenhaminmyblood · 16/01/2023 13:30

@BambiBooBoo I will have to have a look at that app . Are your cycles long ? I’m 37 this year and have been using no contraceptive for 14 months .

It's a good app. And it's free.

My cycles tend to have a variety of lengths 😂
Last cycle was 36days. Then- 33days. 32days. 39days. 36days. Going backwards through 2022

Enigma85 · 16/01/2023 13:42

@Tottenhaminmyblood trying for 8 months first time, I'm 37 so knew that it could take longer but doesn't make it any easier knowing that. Is this you ttc your first?
