Hi 😊

First successful month of TTC #2, have tried since July 2022 but every month something has got in the way such as illness or the cheap ovulation tests have let me down.

Ordered the easy mom ovulation tests this month and no one was horrendously ill in our household so managed to DTD twice during the fertile window

CD12 - DTD
CD13 - Positive OPK
CD14 - DTD

Probably should of done a few more times but DP was busy.

Feeling really hopeful but also feel like I won't get pregnant any time soon 😩

How is everyone else?

@Ttcdcno1 sorry to hear that, but all ready for the next cycle, 2024 baby ❤️

I got a 2-3 weeks on CB so hoping that is progression! Early scan booked for 6 weeks. Good luck every one!

Ttcdcno1 · 07/04/2023 14:03

Annnnnnnd AF has arrived for me

Boymum111 · 07/04/2023 10:17

Good luck @Ttcdcno1 and thank you @TTCno1x i will keep you all posted!

Ttcdcno1 · 06/04/2023 21:42

@TTCno1x only a day so nothing to get hugely excited about but it usually comes like clockwork. All tests have been stark white so far. Last one I did was Tuesday so going to try again tomorrow. It’s the hope that kills you 🙈

TTCno1x · 06/04/2023 21:26

@Ttcdcno1 oooh how late are you? No +ve test?

Ttcdcno1 · 06/04/2023 21:02

AF has still not arrived for me. I expected to wake up to it but not even a hint yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

TTCno1x · 06/04/2023 20:56

@Boymum111 Oh my gosh how fustrating! Do they not understand how hard it is to wait that long in limbo?! Really feel for you and I have everything crossed for you

Boymum111 · 06/04/2023 20:55

@TTCno1x yes…they said to take a test in a week and call the back 🙄

TTCno1x · 06/04/2023 20:52

@Boymum111 - how odd! Have you spoken to your Dr? I wonder if they could do a blood test to reassure you x

@TunnocksTCake Great to hear that you haven't has PMDD symtoms this cycle! Fingers crossed for you this cycle x

TunnocksTCake · 06/04/2023 14:09

@Boymum111 no wonder youre confused! I hope you get more clarity soon!

I am officially out and on to the next, and actually feeling ok about it. I had such a slim chance with everything going on last month and I realised when af arrived that I havent had any of my usual PMDD symptoms which I am thrilled about!

Boymum111 · 05/04/2023 22:45

@TunnocksTCake it is confusing but this is why people say don’t test early…and I clearly refuse to listen 😂 here are my progress pics, seem to be more consistent on the easy at homes than FRER. FRER I get v faint in morn and dark in afternoon still

TunnocksTCake · 05/04/2023 15:15

@Boymum111 how confusing for you! I hope they continue to get darker for your peace of mind

@Ttcdcno1 ah youre a little earlier than me, I usually O around CD16/17 and have a 30/31 day cycle.

Ttcdcno1 · 05/04/2023 14:38

@TunnocksTCake it’s been anywhere between CD12-17, usually falls around 13 or 14 though. My cycles are usually between 24-28 days

Boymum111 · 05/04/2023 14:12

@MountainFi great that you are ready to begin your next cycle! It’s tough but a great mindset. Im still in limbo with dark BFP lines in afternoons and weak in mornings: keep you all posted!

TunnocksTCake · 05/04/2023 13:29

@Ttcdcno1 thanks, I hope youre ok too. Fingers crossed next month is our month! Looks like we will be cycle buddies anyway :) when do you usually ovulate?

@MountainFi loving your positivity, thats great. I had excellent success with vitex in the past too, its great stuff!

MountainFi · 05/04/2023 11:30

Update here - AF arrived overnight as I expected.

BUT on the plus side I am actually quite happy - had a 28 day cycle, with a 13 day LP. Which is much better than the last couple of cycles I have had. I had Covid at Christmas and bled an insame amount at ovulation and for my long period. So I hope my body is getting back to normal. Or maybe the vitex I am taking is having a good effect? who knows 🙃

CONGRATULATIONS to those with BFPs!!

And for those who are also out, fingers crossed for the next month 🙂

Ttcdcno1 · 05/04/2023 08:49

@Boymum111 sorry to hear that! I hope it works out in the end for you and it’s just the tests! 💕

@TunnocksTCake I know how you feel! 😩I’m the same, due tomorrow, no lines.
I read so many posts about people having chemicals and then falling pregnant straight away after and I was like oh that’ll happen to me then ….nope! 🙃 I hope you’re ok when AF comes 💕

TunnocksTCake · 05/04/2023 08:26

@Boymum111 oh sorry to hear that! I hope it's just some bad tests but I can totally understand you must be fearing the worst! Fingers crossed it's all ok 💐

@Kirstyddd that is strange, it could well be a positive sign for you... did you track ovulation & do you know how many dpo you are?

Kirstyddd · 05/04/2023 08:01

@TunnocksTCake im having the strange behaviour

i have done serval tests over the last few days and they all returned bfn,

yesterday I started to bleed very lightly and was like ok period, but that is all it has been, it had not come on strong or heavy, just a very little bleeding, this means I am not sure now what is going on, but the cramps are very period like,

could this be implantation, if it is it seams very late

Boymum111 · 05/04/2023 07:48

@TunnocksTCake it really can
be so stressful TTC can’t it. I had really strong positives and today it’s getting lighter. Chemical last month. Think that’s me heading that way again. Its so tough…

TunnocksTCake · 05/04/2023 07:45

Any updates from anyone on here? I'm 14dpo af due tomorrow and no hint of a line 🙁 keeping it together for now but I know I'm going to be really sad when she does come, I don't want to go on to cycle 6, I was hoping I would fall quickly after my chemical 😫 I have a hen do and a wedding that I was sure I would be pregnant for this month and therefore haven't bought any outfits!
Sorry for the moan, it's all getting to me now.

Sleepinghippo · 03/04/2023 20:05

@boymum111 thats so amazing!!! Definitely worth the trip out. Congratulations!

Boymum111 · 03/04/2023 19:41

@Sleepinghippo i also nipped out and got a clear blue digital and it says 1-2 weeks can’t believe it! I’m 12DPO and 3 days away from AF

Sleepinghippo · 03/04/2023 13:35

Thanks everyone!

@boymum111 13dpo which for me is 5 days before AF was due.

Boymum111 · 03/04/2023 12:03

Thanks @slimshadyscousin!

@Sleepinghippo how many days DPO where you when you tested with digital?
