Hi all I'm after a bit of advice.. I tested for ovulation yesterday and got a peak on fermometer digital OPK ( ++) . However got a low result on CB digital OPK (circle) so I assumed the CB test isnt sensitive enough..

We had guests round all day and managed to DTD just after midnight last night.

I tested again this morning and got a low result on Femometer now as well.. :-(

Today is showing as ovulation day according to the App and had a BBT dip this morning..

Can somebody advise if I have a chance in TTC this month or have I missed my window.

I've attached some images FYI.

Thank you

He's been bloody awful this last few days tbh so I've just been avoiding him and dealing with the issues myself and trying to get my own mental health right, but I think I will possibly take a break now, but good news is my AF didn't come yet and I'm on CD26 so I'm relieved my cycle isn't as short as I was panicking it would be 🤞

@thejollytrolleydolly fongets crossed no AF is a good sign for you and @LittleMiss2023 hopefully it's the start of your bfp 🤞

If I could actually just find a decent sperm donor right now the way I feel I would I'm so angry with him 😡

@Hopefulfirstround awwww don't panic ❤️ this is why I don't test early usually (I'm saying that I've done a fair few already) your lines might not get darker till well after AF is due sometimes it just takes time for hormones to rise also Drs and midwives don't go by line progression either. I totally understand why your in panic mode even after saying all this I would be exactly the same! Sending u hugs xx

Hopefulfirstround · 25/07/2023 09:32

@thejollytrolleydolly fungers and toes crossed for you , thank you for the good wishes. @Kellyaust i panicked , we’ve never had a cleaner before 😂 . @Kellyaust i just think we are so much more in tune with what’s going on in our bodies so men just don’t get it

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 09:27

I'm 14dpo the day of my AF being due. Nothing as of yet! I have some mild back pains and some mild cramps but nothing like I normally get. Had some shooting pains behind my left nipple yesterday which I did have with my last pregnancy but I don't know. I don't feel like my period is coming but I also don't feel pregnant so I'm just in limbo rn! I'll wait a few more days and test again. I did an ultra early digital yesterday which came back as not pregnant so I'm not holding my breath! How is everyone else? Xx

thejollytrolleydolly · 25/07/2023 09:25

Hey @Kellyaust how are you doing? Sorry to hear about your partner, it's not fair of him to attack you over this when you're having a really hard time with it already! I really hope he comes round and you 2 can sort this out ❤️

@Horriblewoman I'm so sorry to hear of your losses that must have been so hard! We're currently trying for our rainbow after a loss too. I really hope you get a sticky one soon ❤️

@Hopefulfirstround keep us updated, I really hope this one sticks for you xxx

LittleMiss2023 · 25/07/2023 09:04

I’m 8DPO today and of course I couldn’t help myself and had to test, knowing nothing would be there! But I don’t know if my eyes are playing tricks and there could be the faintest of faint lines! I’ll try hold off for another 48 hours!

I’ve been having cramping the last 3 days and AF isn’t due for another week so I have my fingers crossed for implantation, but also trying not to get too excited to be let down with a BFN!

How are you feeling @Kellyaust? Hope you’re doing ok!!

@Kellyaust ill take a pic when I get home , I actually threw out most of the previous tests Except the last two because we have a woman coming to clean the house for the first time and I didn’t want her to think I was completely crazy 😅I’m 12 dpo

😂 Aw I'd have just hidden them all lol ah you're still very early then maybe it's just fluctuating at the moment 🤞

I’m having a little panic attack this morning . I’m not sure my lines are progressing , think this is a chemical pregnancy (what a horrible horrible term) . Trying to stay calm but just such a kick in the stomach . You start planning their whole life . This will be 3 losses since January

I'm sorry, do you have pics? What dpo are you?

@Kellyaust I’ve had two miscarriages and have no living children and it took a year to conceive between the two losses.

I absolutely have been guilty of demanding my husband meets my ovulation needs over the last few months and honestly those few weeks are just awful for our relationship. Really horrible. But when I’ve spoken to him he’s been a lot more affected by the losses than I realised and he’s really worried about it happening again so I think we just need to be kinder to each other.

anyway I’m 5dpo and I’m convinced it will be unsuccessful again. Then we’re both away with work and won’t match up ovulation wise until October which is rubbish.

I'm sorry you've been through that and still struggling 😥 the thing is he was just as desperate as me to cover ovulation and conceive again so for him to then turn on me and use it against me I am so not down for that and we haven't spoken since.

I hope this is your cycle, if not then enjoy the break you have until October... ❤️🤞

@Kellyaust I hope your ok ❤️

I agree with @Twocatstwodogs she's right that our OH don't understand really after a loss. Also your cycles could still be trying to get back on track after your mc

I wouldn't give up hope on having another child just yet maybe go on a little break from ttc. Figure out your cycles have a full mot from the Dr and concentrate on YOU 🥰 all this added stress from ttc prob isn't what you need right now. And then maybe you and your partner can sort things out and who nos you might get a little surprise xxx

You're absolutely right I do need to have a little break, the stress is gaining on me a lot now, and yes I'm definitely going to book in with my GP for a full check up I think my mind will be put at ease then even if they do find something at least I will know what I'm dealing with.
I'm still going to hang around for all you girls coz you've been my support line so much and I really do hope you all get your bfps 🤞❤️

Twocatstwodogs · 24/07/2023 11:26

Oh @Kellyaust your feelings are totally understandable. Did af show up or not yet?

For context I’m not much shy of 40yrs old, and I share lots of those feelings with you, I can only keep doing this for so long until I can’t take it anymore. This is our 6th cycle of trying and the miscarriage was awful and couldn’t help but feel like it was also such a loss of time as well.

I do think the other half’s not physically going through this just don’t and maybe can’t understand what it’s like. It’s the most stressful thing.

I really hope you’re ok. In terms of your cycle it could easily be that you’re still adjusting after the mmc, my cycle was stupidly long after mine and totally different to what was normal for me.

My hormones are all over the shop today, we’re on holiday and it’s crazy hot which doesn’t help but wow I’m short tempered atm, patience is very very thin right now. I normally get super snippy before period which is expected in 4 days so it could easily be af.

Let us know how you’re feeling when you can

Hey, not yet I'm on CD25 I think it'll be today or tomorrow so I'm just glad it didn't show even earlier it was CD26 last month. And yeah you're probably right in that my cycles won't be the same for a while, I think all the stress of it won't help either. I have AF feelings and BFN so just waiting for her to show now then I can try have a break from all the stress.

Not sure how I'm going to move forward on this with DH tbh it's not good right now. I'm trying to prepare in my own mind that I may not have another child... So I stop getting so damn depressed and disappointed every month.

Enjoy your holidays... Definitely feeling the mood swings 😅 thank you for checking in ❤️

Hi everyone, hope everyone's doing OK? I've been MIA a bit... I'm more or less ready to give up I think.

2nd cycle since mmc, I had cramping and spotting on 6dpo...look like I'm about to get AF now very early... This will make my cycle 23 days this month 😔 I'm very worried there's something wrong with me... Maybe because I conceived so fast with my mmc and now my cycle have gone from the perfect 28 days to this.

I'm in such a state every month I'm considering giving up and coming to terms with my mmc being my last pregnancy as I don't have much time left and if there's something wrong I could be just setting myself up for another MC.

Finding it so hard to be in my own thoughts right now, and me and oh aren't in a good place.... Basically accused me of only wanting to be near him when I'm ovulating n use him to get pregnant and I feel like he's using my grief against me so it's making me feel like withdrawing that option completely n being done with it 😢

Oh @Kellyaust your feelings are totally understandable. Did af show up or not yet?

@sella84 congratulations! That’s amazing and a great line at 12dpo 😍

@Kellyaust sorry to hear you mental health is struggling but we’re all here for support in every way.. come back to us soon!

@Jadeypie when are you testing? I’m 7dpo so I’m trying to hold out til Friday. Not holding much hope this month as only DTD cd7, 8, 15 and 16

Jadeypie · 23/07/2023 12:50

@sella84 yayyy let yourself believe it 🎉 your pregnant wooo I love seeing people get their BFPs xx

@sella84 @Loubelleellis , let’s not kid ourselves , we’ve fallen into the crazy test every day 😂😂😂. The first time I miscarried the line progression stopped and got lighter before I had a chance to get into the maternity , so I knew before hand . Now I’m addicted to testing , just feels like a safety blanket

Haha, 100%! I started testing at 6 or 7 dpo 🙈and got my first v. Faint positive at 8 dpo.

Loubelleellis · 23/07/2023 11:31

Couldn’t agree more 😂…. I was tempted to test this evening but going to wait until the morning as I don’t believe anything will have changed.

I also have had a loss before so I totally understand your comfort in testing. If mine turns out to be a BFP I will be checking line progression to.

im just really hoping it’s not an indent line. There is definitely colour in it and it’s definitely a line but who knows. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

Jadeypie · 23/07/2023 11:17

@Hopefulfirstround I'm waiting for more tests today to be delivered and I keep saying to myself do not test untill next week! I'm sure I'll be poas before bed just to make sure 🤣🤣 if af shows this week I need to take a different approach in my next cycle x
