Well I'm very confused, used a LH test for the first time on CD8, thought way too early as tracker suggests I ovulate day 17 but apparently its ratio is 0.5. Should it be that high already?!

@Floralsandsmiles you are so kind! Here's to ovulating late 👏😅 I did a test and it came up as 0.2 I'm hoping my egg gets off her lazy ass soon. Last month I didn't notice any ewcm and so far I've had none this month. I didn't even know ewcm was a thing until Mumsnet so I've never paid any attention and if I ever had any discharge I just thought it was normal discharge 🤷🏻‍♀️ did you get a slight rise after your period at all? X

@madeofcodes to be honest, I noticed from a young age that there was a certain time of the month that my CM was EWCM and stringy and it wasn't till mum's net I looked into it and realised that was connected to ovulation.
A slight rise? You mean in temp or CM?
I will be honest, this is my first month monitoring my LH levels and BBT and wish I didn't as I'm more confused than ever about my cycle and its got me questioning so much! Like am I ovulating? Do I have a cycle without it? If I don't ovulate soon, will I have a long enough Luteal phase and therefore be able to even support a pregnancy.. my anxiety is through the roof and I'm really worrying.. so information and knowledge isn't always the best thing for us.. Well for me anyways, it would seem.. xxx

Morning! Sorry to hear that you still haven't had your peak. Mine hasn't risen either, I'm CD15. I'm worried I missed mine as I had 0.5 on CD11 but didn't test before that. We did cover those dates but I wasn't happy with them 🤣 went straight for a wee etc. Ugh! I haven't even tested today yet because deep down I know it'll still be low x

Aww @madeofcodes I feel you, I really do! I'm hoping that our peaks are coming for us too! I reckon yours will be in a few days as its normally between cd14-cd17 on average? Fingers crossed for you! Try monitoring your CM too.. see if you can see positive changes there? That could give you the clarity you need that it will rise soon? I am thinking of you and sending you hugs right now xxxx

Morning ladies! Hope you are all ok? I'm on day 9 (CD20) of the flashy smile face man! So upset and worried that maybe I've missed peak (but I've been testing at least twice if not 3 times a day during this peak). Or worried that I'm not ovulating at all, but that wouldn't explain EWCM (yesterday), temp rising on BBT (this morning).. arrggggghhhh I'm driving myself mad! Xxx

@Infinitebows thank you! It’s so hard to be patient. Fingers crossed 🤞🏼

@LittleMiss2023 - hopefully be joining the TWW soon 😊

LittleMiss2023 · 26/02/2023 08:46

Hi everyone. I’ll jump on this thread.

Cycle #2 TTC #1. Currently CD17 and I think I have ovulated today. I had 7 days of flashing smileys and on the 7th day in the afternoon, I got my static. We managed to DTD CD’s 10, 12, 15 and 16, so hopefully that’s enough!

AF due 11th of March, so now the TWW begins!

Anyone else in the TWW?

Infinitebows · 26/02/2023 08:26

@Beckyc23 similar situation- I had my first smiley yesterday at CD16, keep trying it'll come 🤞🏼💐

Beckyc23 · 26/02/2023 06:50

Hi,

I still haven’t got a positive OPK yet, I’m on CD15 and properly overthinking it. Any had later/not ovulated after a miscarriage? It’s my first cycle since the surgical management. Using the clear blue pink tests, so only seen a static circle so far.

Thanks 😊

Infinitebows · 25/02/2023 20:56

Hi Ladies 👋🏼 can I join please. The support and chat of others feelings and going through the same is a great help.
Second miscarriage early February (was 7 weeks 😢) got my clear blue smiley man today and not long ago DTD 😁 third time this week - absolutely desperate for this baby so trying straight away as it took me 7 months to get pregnant again and time really isn't on my side. Baby dust to all of you🤞🏼💞

B93 · 25/02/2023 20:29

@Ks2023 try and stay positive. Keep us posted on Monday.

I thought I had a period when I was pregnant with my daughter. I didn’t test until 1-2 weeks later when I experienced horrendous nausea and sickness along with aching boobs. I bled on and off throughout my pregnancy with her. My waters starting leaking at 23 weeks and had suspected preeclampsia. Safe to say I am not very good at this whole pregnancy malarkey 🙈

Any sort of bleeding doesn’t seem to determine anything with me 🤦🏼‍♀️. I have bled in my one successfully pregnancy and all four losses too. It’s the sickness that is usually the indicator rather than the missed period 🙃

@Ella31 shoulder pain it’s last stage when it’s already erupted. All I have now is little brown spotting specially after last night check up by a doctor who told me I’m gonna very gentle and nearly rip my cervix off and started bleeding

You poor thing. Fingers crossed for you.

@B93 Private scan didn’t see anything. My test lines getting stronger and now same colour as control line. Spend 9hours in EPAU yesterday and they will do another scan on Monday. They refused to do my blood test as told no need if positive urine test ☹️ I don’t get my hopes up I hope for the best but suspect the worst like ectopic pregnancy. They can’t understand how it’s possible to have AF and then have positive test. Trying to tell me I have my dates wrong stressful time now till Monday

@Ks2023Eptopic's usually have very clear symtoms such as missed periods and localised pain in your shoulder or stomach. Are you experiencing any of these.

Ladies, I don't know where to start. So Bfn,s up until 10dpo on Tuesday. Thought i had a vffl but got my period on Tuesday - medium flow normal for the normal 4 days. Don't know why but I took a frer tonight. Came back positive , took a cheapie - positive and took a clearblue 6 days early and it says positive. I must be having a CP????? Heartbroken.

B93 · 24/02/2023 22:37

@Ks2023 How did emergency scan go? I hope all is ok?
