Sorry I went a bit awol from earlier in the week. I ended up getting positive tests but knew something wasn’t right as they weren’t consistent. AF was due Thursday. Went to EPU when at work yesterday and had bloods. HCG 6 and progesterone 2 so likely a chemical pregnancy. Bleeding started today so definitely that. I guess that makes me CD1. I’m very sad, obviously, but happy I’ve ovulated for two consecutive months (confirmed two consecutive months) and that my remaining tube is obviously functional. Fingers crossed for this cycle

So sorry to hear this. Sending lots of hugs x

Officially out the December group,
CD 1 today.

Good luck to everyone this cycle!

Fallulah · 15/04/2023 18:07

CD4 today, we’re back from holiday and ready to go again, although I’ve already worked out that OH is probably away over the crucial time this month! 😤

Daniki · 15/04/2023 15:13

Ah sorry @lottieb92 it's such a pain in the arse 😖

lottieb92 · 15/04/2023 14:14

@Daniki i tested last night so pretty much knew the answer

she turned up! And I was actually relieved I didn’t want a late period and BFN that’s the worst 😭

here we go CD1 lol … I ovulate late so I imagine I’ll be quiet until I start getting some action on the OPKs, we did sperm meets egg last time, I think I’ll be aiming for a modified version this time.

Hey gang, catching up, was excited to dump my “CD1 today let’s go” but… Aunt Flo hasn’t shown up yet… the day is young I guess!

Ooh! Exciting, have you tested? Patience of a saint if not 😂

BB2023 · 15/04/2023 12:04

4DPO here, time seems to be going so slow!
It's only cycle 1 for us so I'll be ok if it's not to be this month as still learning what my cycles will be like but I'm the worst at waiting for things, literally no patience at all x

Caroline1989 · 15/04/2023 10:57

Yeh, same with time passing slowly. I’m going to try not to test until at least Saturday but we will see how my willpower holds out! I’m 6 dpo today. X

Hi all I’m currently on day CD 12 first time using opk’s not had a peak in them yet or even I high reading, but this morning my lower tummy feels really tight and I’m having a few pains, also my Cm is Ew and wet this morning so I’m assuring I am ovulating or getting ready,

I will do dtd for the next few days to cover all bases and we did last night

I’m just hoping I can get it right this month

Mushroo · 15/04/2023 09:38

@Caroline1989 not bad but time is going so slowly!!

7dpo today and even though I said I wouldn’t I think I’ll end up testing at some point next week.

trying to keep busy but it’s hard!

How are you getting on?

@Hankthehonk perfect summary of temping! @Beth191 ive been telling for the first time this month and I find it a proper faff, but my chart is
good and I can pinpoint when I ovulated so will stick with it for now.

How you holding up @Mushroo ? I am not feeling very positive this month for some reason, not sure why. Not too long until I test though. Need to give myself a shake!! X

@Floralsandsmiles hey babes can i join please? Af got me yest xxxx

Hankthehonk · 14/04/2023 20:56

@Beth191 I've just started temping this cycle and already finding it useful. I know for sure I ovulated 2 days ago.
You need a specific bbt thermometer - I ordered a premom one and I'm using the premom app (also tracking lh). You take your temp in your mouth as soon as you wake up, it's important to do it before you've gotten up, moved etc
Your temp will be lower between period and ovu, then will spike when you ovulate basically confirming ovulation. Then it stays up during luteal phase. With some small fluctuation.
I think it dips a couple of days before af if you're not pregnant but stays high if you are pregnant. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong on that!
Some people experience a drop in temperature the day before ovulation as well, I did, this was the same day I got my lh peak.
Hope that helps and that I've got everything right!

Angelselevenx · 14/04/2023 19:21

@Beth191 I recently started temping (march cycle) and fell pregnant, it ended in a chemical but it really helps me to understand what's going on in my body! I use natural cycles and enjoy the app and the thermometer! X

Beth191 · 14/04/2023 18:36

Hi ladies, can someone who temps give me an idiots guide please? I'm so frustrated with opk's, I've not had a positive one this cycle and when I was trying for my first I almost never had a positive one, including the month I conceived! And on the cycles where I've had a positive it's gone negative again by the evening so I'm sure the reason I'm not getting positives is just timing of doing the test! So I'm pretty certain I've ovulated today (sore boobs, ewcm, bloated) but I think I'd like to try temping next cycle.

Dtd 2 days ago and last night and will tonight so hopefully I've guessed ovulation correctly...Here's to another 2ww!

jessie92 · 14/04/2023 15:48

Thanks @Caroline1989 definitely a game of luck! 🍀 all the best for you too xxx

jessie92 · 14/04/2023 15:45

@lottieb92 that sounds really weird. probably a good idea to find another centre 💭 we had an initial consultation which was good (not sure if you’ve had one of these already) and after other tests came back normal the gist I’ve got so far is that the hycosy is the next test as they need to know if tubes are clear as one of the main factors.

they’ve not mentioned iui or ivf to us at all yet, so it sounds like that company is jumping in too soon.

will let you know how it goes!
