@Tes004 yes maybe your ovulating again or late, just worth DTD to make sure your within a shot incase! How annoying are cycles sometimes! You can’t keep track!

LoobyLoo92 · 21/07/2023 21:06

In my first post I put CD10 but I meant 10dpo! CD25.

LoobyLoo92 · 21/07/2023 21:03

@Tes004 thank you, that has given me hope. I do have 2 more tests but I am only 10dpo and feel like I should use fmu or after a longer hold so I will likely test in the morning as I probably won't be able to wait any longwr than that 😅

Tes004 · 21/07/2023 21:00

@LoobyLoo92 getting pee on the window doesn’t make it invalid - it’s the test strip that has reacted to your urine which changes with hcg - honestly I really wouldn’t worry but if it’s stressing you - do another xx

Tes004 · 21/07/2023 20:58

@LoobyLoo92 I would say it’s a clear positive
so you have another you can check with

LoobyLoo92 · 21/07/2023 20:40

@Ncl31 thanks you, this is the test. I guess I'm not counting it as a positive because it is invalid, but it has certainly got my hopes up. I'll definitely be testing again I'm just not sure when to test.

10dpo BUT pee on the test window so invalid? Incase anyone sees this but didn't catch my earlier post 🥲

Flo says would be due Apr 2nd if I conceived this cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@LoobyLoo92 do you have a picture of the test?
might be best retesting tomorrow or Sunday morning.

Hey, I am CD10 ttc dc2 after a missed miscarriage in December, found out at 12 week scan and was so devastated but tried again straight away, for 6 months now. I took a test earlier today after a 4+ hour hold and there is a faint but obvious positive line BUT I got a bit of pee on the test window that you can see has got into the test. My head says you know you can't trust the result but my heart really wants to. I can't see any dye run and the line is pink not a grey evap line but even so I know I shouldn't trust it. I could test again in the morning or perhaps I should wait till Sunday to test again? AF due on Tue/Wed and I have had some cramping which I had attributed to AF gearing herself up. Gahh now I wish I hadn't taken the test 😅 told myself I wouldn't test early.

Tes004 · 21/07/2023 19:43

@BlossomTree123 I’ve been a little all over the place tbh ranges from 28-52 days !! Last month was crappy , but I assumed I would have a fairly decent duration this month as fixed smiley - but I have had lots of ewcm for 2 days and today this …
temp drop Monday - Wednesday and still nothing - I do have pcos so maybe only now ovulating and the first spike was just a surge but nothing .. I’m so confused lol

@cosymama2020 definitely the right attitude, have a lovely weekend. Good luck for next cycle x

cosymama2020 · 21/07/2023 14:51

@Ncl31 no, 3 days early but it’s definitely AF now. I thought it might have been implantation bleeding last night but definitely Ms Flo today! Gutted but going to have a some wine and a laugh with family at a wedding this weekend and try to relax before the stress of it all begins again!

@BlossomTree123 aw thanks babe - it’s so frustrating but just need to keep faith that it will happen eventually. The Flo app was really good today. I had my settings to ‘trying to get pregnant’ and when I logged my period today there was a post that said, ‘we know you’re probably feeling down that you got your period but here’s some reasons to feel positive’. It actually helped a bit.

BlossomTree123 · 21/07/2023 14:31

Hi all! CD 4 here waiting for AF to finish so I could start working out when I ovulate.

@Tes004 what’s your normal CD Length?

@cosymama2020 gutted you have come on, it’s so frustrating when you dtd at the right time and everything .

Tes004 · 21/07/2023 11:29

Not been on for a few days ladies ! How is everyone ?? I’m still on last cycle no af and NO bfp sooooo fed up - ewcm on and off feeling really down now . Cd33 I think and I thought I ovulated around d10 so definitely sure I woulda had bfp by now - I had another positive opk around 13-14 days ago too - going insane tbh lol have I missed any bfp ???? Hope so. Xx

Ncl31 · 21/07/2023 09:44

@cosymama2020 so sorry to read this. Is AF due today? Could it be implantation bleeding?
im in TWW currently, AF is due around 3/4 August. But with PCOS I do randomly have long cycles, I had some mild cramping then spotting on CD17 so have been DTD regularly since then but we were on honeymoon before that so I’m hoping we are well covered and there’s some little swimmers doing their magic right now. Trying desperately not to symptom spot as I’m only 5DPO but it’s so addictive and consumes every thought doesn’t it?!

If this isn’t your month, I hope next cycles is x

cosymama2020 · 21/07/2023 06:52

I’m out - think I’ve started AF today although super light at the mo.

Literally did everything right last cycle so got to try again!

RaisingCornishWildlings · 20/07/2023 20:32

Hello,
Can I join the party over here? I'm 40, and ttc baby no 4- have 2 boys and girl so far (6,4 and 16m).

Hubby and I have decided would like to have one more- I've been broody for about 7 months now and can't talk myself out of it 😂

Problem is my cycle is not regular- AF actually arrived today on day 48 (last month was 43 days, and cycle before that was 35). Worrying it might be down to start of menopause but my mum was late with hers so hoping it's more related to the fact I'm still BF my toddler!

Anyway, this v long cycle had me hoping- I've felt icky and nauseous, bloated etc for well over a week, and now AF has arrived in reading stories of heavy IB and still being pregnant, though I know in my heart I'm not 😂 will just have to have a lot of sex in August and hope for the best- I bought a handful of OPK off eBay so will try them!

HelloMoon87 · 20/07/2023 20:26

@BlossomTree123 I'm CD5! When do you normally ovulate? I think I'll ovulate next Sunday or the following Monday.

@ttcthoughts @Ecgx thank you for replying. I'm sorry you had miscarriages too, hope we get good news this time 💚 baby dust to you!

BlossomTree123 · 20/07/2023 19:23

Hi all, CD3 for me today. So waiting for AF to go and my fertility window to open before anything exciting happens for me

HopefullMumto4 · 20/07/2023 18:42

Hi all, can I join you too?

I'm ttc no4 and in my previous three pregnancies I fell very quickly but I was in my 20s and now in my 30s I feel a bit more anxious about everything. I'm actually due AF on Monday and I'm expecting it to arrive but I'd still have an April due date it it did happen next cycle.

Ecgx · 20/07/2023 18:24

Hey @HelloMoon87 sorry to hear of your chemicals the ttc journey is so harsh for a woman! I hope you are ok. So with my late ovulation yes I had noticed my period was later but I’ve only had the one since my miscarriage so I don’t know if this will continue or even itself back out. I hope you get a positive too and don’t have too much of this uncertainty x

ttcthoughts · 20/07/2023 18:04

@HelloMoon87 im sorry to hear about your chemicals.
when I have ovulated late I’ve also had a late period so I have found when the pregnancy test Goes to negative is when my cycle starts again

HelloMoon87 · 20/07/2023 17:14

@ttcthoughts @Ecgx hi ladies, I've also had chemical in Feb and May. I've tracked ovulation and never had late ovulation even after miscarriages but I only tracked until my first positive opk / clearblue. So I'm wondering if late ovulation can still happen because I know the body can try to ovulate multiple times.

For the time that you ovulated late, did you get late period as well? Or have you just ovulated late this cycle?

Thank you x
