Out... AF Arrived today. Looking for next cycle buddy

@BudgetBuster sorry to hear you've been through such a hard time :( that's so bad it means your not entitled to tests anymore! What an awful system, don't they know that things can change!

Sounds like you have a lovely DH! X

@Piglet34 Nope, no tests. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in 2018, had a medical termination at 8 weeks in 2019 and a miscarriage at 6 weeks in 2022. Because the 2nd was technically a termination, I'm not entitled to tests.

I just a bad day. It was emotional. My husband was great - which I know is eqiaas difficult for him. He also invitee our best friends over for drinks this evening which was great to brighten me up a bit.

@BudgetBuster sorry to hear you've not had a good day 😞 so so hard what you have been through and the not knowing is so all consuming. Have you been able to have tests yet? If not that might be a good thing to do to feel like things are moving forward. It's okay to have bad days though, hope tomorrow is better for you xxx

@behappy1736 Bleeding that lasts 24-48hrs in early pregnancy is often nothing to worry about. It might settle. Also I wouldn’t worry about the line not getting darker as its still very early.

I hope it all goes well for you on Monday x

Hi everyone. So I had positive tests Thursday and Friday then started bleeding Friday lunchtime and still bleeding now it period like too with cramps and enough to wear a pad and have to change it every few hours.
Booked in for bloods on Monday but am I probably right in thinking it's c chemical pregnancy?
I wasn't due my period until tomorrow so I was testing early with 10miu tests from Monday this week.
I did a test this afternoon and there is still a faint line there, no darker but still there.
If it's a chemical pregnancy then would it take a while for the line to disappear?

First photo is Thursday/Fridays tests, second photo is this afternoons test after bleeding for 24 hours.

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated 🙏🏼 thank you x

Having a pretty rough day today ladies. Completely broke down for hours and hours. I'm not even frustrated anyway I'm just so sad. I don't know if I'm cut out to continue trying anymore if I'm honest. Three pregnancies and no babies.

@BudgetBuster hello again! Definitely think taking a more relaxed approach can only be a good thing, glad your are having a positive month and good luck this cycle! :)

I'm CD13 and just had a positive OPK so looks like a few days of DTD ahead. We've already DTD every other day since CD4 mainly just because we fancied it which has been nice! Now that I've had the OPK and the pressures there it instantly takes the fun out though 😂

I can see something, did it come up in the time? It's quite grey so could be evap, fingers crossed for you!

Can anyone see a line?

Hey everyone. How are we all doing?

I have been MIA the last week - decided to take a brek from tracking for awhile. Currently on CD14 and trying to DTD for fun. Have no OPKs in the house to even tempt me!

Thank you! I've never used them before so when it came up so high I was very confused! I'll keep using and see what happens.

@FlyingHighFlyingLow I sometimes do get random high ones way before ovulation, I would just ignore until you get the actual peak :) see below one of my past ones where I got almost 0.5 on CD12 but didn't get peak until 6 days later x

First time using LH tests, early evening, CD8 and got a ratio of 0.5 surely thats higher than it should be considering my estimated ovulation is CD17?

@flowerlover1990 no worries :) I think you are supposed to do lunchtime for OPKs but I drink a lot of water 😂 I usually do FMU then on the days it gets darker (so 16/17 in that photo) I would also do a lunchtime one to properly catch the peak. I just didn't do it last time while I was away :)

@flowerlover1990 yeah I find doing a bit of tracking is nice so you know where your at :) don't know if this helps at all but this is my Premom from my last cycle , so it stayed pretty low until then went high then went back to low. I use FMU as seem to get the best results that way! These were all done around 8am but it says 12am because I was in Bali at the time and it didn't change the time difference aha. Hope you get your peak in the next few days! X

@flowerlover1990 yep definitely, I am currently in the same boat. CD8 tomorrow so time to start SMEP-ing, going to try pre seed out so will see how that goes ! Am also planning to start the OPKs tomorrow but I don't usually ovulate until CD17 (although unsure of my CD1 as has random bleeding which stopped then started again so could be CD13 tomorrow if I count from that day). My LH levels usually stay low until literally the day of peak and then I usually do two that day and the next day. Do you use Premom to track the percentage of LH? X

Due AF today and feeling really sick! I’m in such a bad mood I think I will cancel plans today for fear of biting anyones heads off 😅 I had a CP this month so feeling really upset about it all

@BudgetBuster yeah I think it's better when they don't know 🤣 I'm SMEP-ing this month but not mentioning it haha

@BudgetBuster 🤣🤣 love this, I tell my partner the same thing!
Good luck this cycle ladies 🤞🙏❤️

@Piglet34 Fresh new cycle! I've warned my husband not to ask me am I ovulating this month and to just do what hes told 😂
