@mommabear64 Sorry it’s so confusing for you just now. How long ago were the ovulation pains and cm? Just wondering if that could give you a possible date to look for AF or testing? Good luck x

So i had cm on friday so going by that would be 5dpo now but i still have very watery cm when its suppose to dry up right? Hoping this is a good sign

OMG @Kelb79!! It’s understandable as the wait is unbearable! What will you do now? I’d have to get some FRER pronto as I couldn’t cope with the riddle. How many DPT are you? Sending love x

I don't know where i am in my cycle coz i had a weird early period last month woth just spotting but i tested loads. All negative. This month i felt ovulation pains and had cm but not ehen my app said i sould. So currently no idea where i am.

😩😩😩 ok… the wait is killing me!!
Official test day is Friday and I’ve made sure not to have a set in the house so that I didn’t cave early…
but the POAS urge became too strong so I randomly did an LH test - I’ve read that they can sometime pick up pregnancy as the molecular structure of LH and HCG are very similar 🫣
I got 2 lines!!! Very clear!
Now I’ve totally messed my head up 😵‍💫😵‍💫
it was one of the easy@home tests which just test for LH (some others test for oestrogen too) but I just don’t know if they’d be picking up my meds 😩😩
such an idiot!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Waaaa i'm trying to go till friday as well and you're tempting me to test. I onlt have the ebay cheapies in as well

@mangomeringue hello and welcome I’m sorry your having a hard time your in the right place sorry about your losses to I really don’t have any advice only go with what your heart tells you but on the other hand if you have 2 embryos I’d save up and do that but I’d also give yourself a little more time to try naturally stress is a big factor in TTC believe me I know .

I have 3 beautiful daughters from a previous relationship I’ve been with my new husband for 19 yrs we practically started ttc straight away I did get pregnant but lost baby at 5 wks then 3 yrs later got pregnant again lost that one at 8 wks after seeing heart beat at 7 wks and 3 yrs later pregnant again lost that one I was 11 wks baby passed at 9 wks after seeing a Herat beat at 8 wks there’s no reason for my losses I’ve had multiple cp in 13 yrs of trying for a successful pregnancy I’m 51 now yes I’m older but I’m still ovulating still getting my monthly’s on time so I’m praying for a miracle.

I wish you all the best on your journey and hope it happens soon for you good luck lovely x

mangomeringue · 10/06/2023 22:10

Hello please can I join ?

im ttc #3 and really really having no luck. Ds 1 was conceived after 5 years of treatment and failed ivf cycles and then fell naturally. Tried for dc2 from when he was 8 months old and that took 15 months.

I have PCOS, endometriosis and adenomyosis.

We started trying for dc3 nov 2021 . Absolutely nothing happened till feb 2023 when I had an ectopic pregnancy. This week I’ve just had a chemical pregnancy. So 19 months of trying and nothing except 2 losses.

We have 2 embryos left in storage so I’m wondering if I just forget trying naturally and save up for a FET cycle ? Really really fed up and down about it all today

cd 3 af showed on time on to July x

Kelb79 · 10/06/2023 11:25

@ladybranstonpickle definitely a line!! Congratulations!!! Have you tested again? ❤️

so I’m now 4dp5dt …. Lots of cramping and twinges but they could mean either a positive, a negative or trapped wind 🤣🤣 so I’m trying not to get hung up on it!
6 days until test day! I actually think I’m going to hold out… It’s so special being PUPO that I just don’t want it to end! So I’d almost rather not test and never know if it hasn’t worked 🫣🫣
I’m feeling pretty calm and positive on the whole…. Just have occasional moments of gloom 😵‍💫

how are you all? Big love xxx ❤️❤️❤️

TraceyTarotReader · 09/06/2023 17:15

Af came for me cd 2 😩

TraceyTarotReader · 09/06/2023 17:15

@ladybranstonpickle that’s definitely a BFP CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

mommabear64 · 08/06/2023 15:45

And also zits! I never get spots. So just feeling really odd.

mommabear64 · 08/06/2023 15:44

Symptom spotting today 🙄🙄🙄 feel sick (i never feel sick) , mild boob aches and tingles but also quite sharp cramps. No idea when AF is due coz last months was weird (no period, only sportting but BFN tests)

YellowLoafers · 07/06/2023 08:43

@ladybranstonpickle I spy a line too! ❤️

@mommabear64 👋 Welcome! Good luck this month 🤞🤞

Noodles4Me · 07/06/2023 08:36

Thanks @October1979 @YellowLoafers and @Kelb79 I will do as much research as I can regarding DE and I will doubtless be picking brains on here. Very kind of you all 😊

@ladybranstonpickle that is a line! Tentative congrats x

mommabear64 · 07/06/2023 07:54

Hi all. 44 here and been TTC for 3 months. We're just going with if it happens it happens. But its hard not to build hopes up. Ovulating now so its the TWW coming up. Last month i missed period and was a week of pink discharge. But all negative tests so far. Keep imagining symptoms like mild nausea. Driving me nuts!

ladybranstonpickle · 07/06/2023 06:28

Ladies….am I imagining things? 15 dpo, fmu at 8am but did wee in the night at 5 am ish…
