Hey girls,

Nor stressing at all BUT why are my opks still blazing positive? This is the 3rd day? I had intense OV pain yesterday. Usually I peak fast and it comes back down fast.... Not had this before?? Any ideas ❤️

Hello all.

Sending everybody best wishes for their cycles and those who have tested positive ❤️

I got my 2-3 weeks on clear blue yday at 16dpo, hoping for the 3+ next weekend and booked an early scan for before we go on holiday (I think I will be 7+2). Can't shift my anxious feeling, hoping the scan will help settle me. No symptoms other than feeling a bit sick if I get too hungry. How are other people's symptoms?

@Kellyaust I know so many ways.. some people swear by the SMEM method and others says it’s better to do it more after the opks say positive.

@Twocatstwodogs congratulations oh yes does sound like random days but it worked so that’s great news 😊

Twocatstwodogs · 10/08/2023 16:40

@Kellyaust and @thejollytrolleydolly , sounds like you're timing is similar which is nice! Rooting for you, so good you're more chilled out, it's so flipping stressful, anything to be less anxious is a good thing! My LH surge is super rapid as well, within a few hours then gone! Useful to know it generally happens overnight with me otherwise I think I'd miss it

Really hope things are going well for the ladies which tested positive as well.

Hi ladies, can I join?

I am on cycle 2 but missed ovulation last cycle so thought I should start using OPKs 😊

I had my first positive opks yesterday and it’s still positive so guessing I will ovulation soon.
We DtD on cd8,10,12,13 today we should really DtD but not sure if it’s possible due to work.. do you think we have done enough?

@Rightnow1245 we only dtd twice this time and pretty random timing, about 4 days before and then again 2 days before Ov and I'm currently extremely early but I'm testing pregnant at the moment, so I'd say don't stress at all!

@Rightnow1245 hey glad you joined, sounds like you've dtd well, I've read many diff ways to try, we went all out last month and dtd every single fertile day and every other day for the week before that 😂 didn't work... And we were shattered.

When we conceived Feb we only dtd twice 😂

So this cycle we've chilled again, we did CD9, 11, 13 and again today before he's left for work 🤞

@thejollytrolleydolly oh gosh yeah me too apart from about 5 weeks til 14 weeks coz I feel so sick... I don't even get sick but the feeling is enough for me 😂 tbf after my toddler I said definitely no more coz her birth was horrendous... We soon forget though don't we 😂x

thejollytrolleydolly · 10/08/2023 09:13

@Kellyaust same! The last 2 times I was pregnant I just felt like my period wasn't coming because I have so many symptoms when I'm due on. What will be will be 😊 I am looking forward to being pregnant again though. I do love it 🥰 x

Kellyaust · 10/08/2023 08:26

@thejollytrolleydolly yes so it looks like you had your peaks overnight then it started to trail off mine usually does that fairly quickly but I've had my first peak yesterday at around 11.30am and it's still at peak this morning so it should start trailing off later today but I was so surprised yesterday at 8am it was negative then boom haha

Yes I'm going to be the same... I've had more symptoms when I'm NOT pregnant so I'm stopping all the symptom craziness 😂

OP posts:

thejollytrolleydolly · 10/08/2023 08:22

@Kellyaust your opk's sounds like mine! I peak really fast and then it's gone soon after! I peaked yesterday morning then it trailed off throughout the day so I think I ovulated yesterday sometime. It would make sense as I had a really bloated crampy tummy yesterday which has gone today. So 1dpo for me!

I've got loads of bits to get on with this month so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied and not symptom spot constantly for the next fortnight! It's nice to know were both more peaceful this month! I'll attach my opk's from this month below 😊

Another peak opk this morning and a bit more pain but still beatable so think OV is today, usually I get a peak opk and the next test has gone back down it doesn't usually peak for this long so good sign my body is almost healed, dtd last night and was much more fun and relaxed so feeling good today, might get another in but if not I'm fine with it too 😊

Oh that's exactly what I've done, with the intense effects I've been having from hormones and the spotting between ovulation and af I've convinced myself I'm peri menopausal too 😂 BUT now I'm thinking right how can I be? My periods are fine and my OV comes on time etc... This last cycle actually was bang on time but I'd convinced myself it was really late coz I'd had af pain for over a week... It was actually perfect timing at 28 days!

Crazy what your mind does under stress!

When we first started trying I said it would take at least 1 year anyway... That was January so I'm not going to sorry at all until then.... Well at least try. 😂

What dpo are you now? I've actually had the best opks I've had since mmc this cycle, went from hardly any line to peak within a few hours yesterday so OV should've been overnight or today. And it's much less painful than last month.

OP posts:

thejollytrolleydolly · 09/08/2023 20:50

@Kellyaust yes definitely do, even if it's just to put your mind at rest. There's so many "what ifs" going around your head after a loss that you drive yourself mad! I even convinced myself that I was peri-menopausal! It's chilled me out actually speaking to someone in the know. I would definitely recommend it. It sounds like you're feeling better now though.

I'm just trying to leave it to fate now and I have a promotion coming up that will make my maternity pay much better so it's not the end of the world if I wait a few more months 😊 we will get there eventually when it's meant to be xxx

@thejollytrolleydolly omg absolutely, that's the most stressed ove ever been last month n I feel so much better this month!!! What will be will be and no amount of stress is gonna help me that's how I see it now. I'm glad you're sorted with the nurse, if I don't catch this month I'll go for bloods too I think

OP posts:

thejollytrolleydolly · 09/08/2023 19:44

@Kellyaust I'm glad you're feeling more relaxed! I saw my fertility nurse today and she said that stress can be a huge factor in whether you conceive or not. I got a bit obsessive last month so I'm trying to relax this tww. I've got my blood tests coming up at the end of this cycle so it's not the end of the world if I dont catch this month.

I think after a loss you get so stressed about being pregnant again don't you.

@Twocatstwodogs your line progression looks really good! Did you have a 6 week scan already or are you waiting for it? ❤️

@mahii95 do the test!! 🤩

Kellyaust · 09/08/2023 18:24

@Twocatstwodogs well I've had my peak early today should've been Friday so I'm glad I still thought to check, we dtd 2 days ago and probably tonight but then he's away with work tomorrow so I'm not hoping but I feel much more relaxed

@Twocatstwodogs it was expected with you being so early wasn't it, but it's great they've put you on progesterone already as my epu said it'll be at 6 weeks but that's when baby stopped growing last time so I would also be super anxious. Fingers crossed this next 2 weeks goes fast for you, I know it's hard but just try your best to treat yourself well and be calm and hopefully all will go well

Thank you @Kellyaust , yes I'm going to try to forget about it until the next appointment as much as I can. I can't make a difference to what will happen really. Yes, I had similar timing, all was going well and then it wasn't.

How are other people getting on, would be lovely to hear good news.

@mahii95 yeah I would also say to do a test? Fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Kellyaust I’ve just had my USS scan and referred to the consultant for follow up, all a bit unclear. Being given progesterone to hopefully help and another appointment in 2 weeks time. The EPU were lovely about how anxious I am. Another scary tww for me now, after these two weeks is when I found out I’d miscarried last time so I’ll be panicking the whole time. No symptoms at all yet either.

How are others getting on?

How is everyone doing??

@mahii95 sorry not sure with charts to be honest. Maybe do a test, it should show now 🤞

mahii95 · 08/08/2023 17:07

Hi all.. what's your thoughts on my BBT chart? Had different start times at work this weeks last 3-4 mornings hence the different time measurements as shown.. however only by like 30-45mins.. Currently 14dpo.. AF is due tomorrow.. had some mild twinges but nothing much.. last tested at 9dpo and got a BFN? Reckon an early CB digital would be accurate day of AF is due? Planning to test tomorrow with FMU.

@Twocatstwodogs I'm totally switched off... To the point I'm wondering if I can even try anymore, definitely think I'm going to avoid OV this month I can't handle the disappointment anymore tbh.

Totally, I get it. I think that's a good way to be, well done and see how you feel as time progresses maybe. Hopeful things will be clearer for you soon, I get that uncertainty, it's difficult.
