Roses12345 · 03/12/2023 13:42

@BB78910 congratulations awww I love it such good news for once yess xx

G3mini2 · 03/12/2023 10:56

@BB78910 omg!! That's well clear... congrats💕
@Catson thank you for explaining it to me I am clueless at these things.... I've got 2 children and I never tried with them they were wanted but we never tried so this is my first time actually trying for a baby and I'm so bamboozled by it all😂 x

Catson · 03/12/2023 08:49

@G3mini2 in a textbook 28 day cycle you would ovulate on cd14 (one week after your period and then have a 14 day lutual phase (the tww).

In reality, even if cycles are 28 days there can be lots of differences, but ideally you need a lutual phase of 10 days to allow conception and implantation to happen before the lining is shed. If cycles are shorter then the chances are you ovulate sooner rather than the lutual phase becoming shorter. I.e. you'd ovulate somewhere between cd7 and cd14.

I've never used ovulation tests, but from knowing when I dtd and other ovulation symptoms I have, I know I ovulate around cd9 or 10 usually

@BB78910 ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️ bless you both

you're not supposed to as there’s a very small risk of mc, but as I already probably have a higher than average chance and I couldn’t do next month anyway we’re just going for it, but as early as we can to minimise the chances even further. Apparently just the procedure increases your chances as it regenerates your lining a bit so on balance I’m happy to take the risk 👍🏼

BB78910 · 02/12/2023 21:23

@PADonk ah thank you!! Yes he’s over the moon!
so hang on I thought you said you can’t DTD as they’ll be poking around in there? But didn’t you?

PADonk · 02/12/2023 21:18

@BB78910 ah yey! That’s super clear! Is he super excited? Honestly I’m so so so chuffed for you I can’t even explain it ☺️☺️☺️☺️ it has to be in the TWW whenever you do it and they’re closed for Xmas so we’re just going for it and then if they find anything can crack on with a plan 👌🏼

@G3mini2 ah thank you 🥰, right back at you! If anything at least it (hopefully) means your TWW isn’t too stressful symptom-spotting etc and it means once you do decide you’re definitely ready you’re already well underway!

BB78910 · 02/12/2023 21:11

@PADonk told him! Clearblue came out nice and visible! Couldn’t wait for the bloody digital could I 🤣 besides my back is killing me I need an excuse 🤣 are you doing your biopsy this month then or next? Thought you said it was around your O dates?
@G3mini2 i get that honestly, you’re in 2 minds! Whatever happens it’ll be a good outcome nonetheless xx

@PADonk sending you all the baby dust in the world sweetheart ❤️

PADonk · 02/12/2023 15:53

@BB78910 ah no that’ll drive you mad. Can you get hold of a FRER or boots early one? Yeah I’m at least 4dpo now. Got my biopsy thing booked in so that’s a nice distraction from symptom spotting 😜 need to just try now and manifest all the positive vibes you’ve given me today into my own BFP 🧘🏼‍♀️ 😂

OP posts:
G3mini2 · 02/12/2023 15:47

@catson yeah my cycles are that length too... I just heard women usually ovulate 2 weeks after so I thought my app was playing up🤦🏻‍♀️ I don't use strips as I know that's just added on stress so I just go off by my symptoms

@BB78910 honestly I didn't even know I was in my fertile week when we had sex I just looked on my app and it I was on first and put it nicely I'm not happy to be back 😂 but now I know I've dtd in the fertile week I'm like oooohhhhh okay hahha so I'm gonna dtd a couple more times this week but I won't be too arsed about the outcome as I have the stress of a toddler and house move 😂😂 x

BB78910 · 02/12/2023 15:42

Ahhh thank you ladies @PADonk @G3mini2 honestly I’m praying this one sticks! Haven’t told DP yet - I want to give him a digital so another couple of days 🙈 cannot hold this secret!
im refusing to wee all day until I get home 🤣

@G3mini2 I love your relaxed approach but happy you’re back in the fold too!

@PADonk i don’t think the earlier bleed was implantation 🫣 I think it was way too early and I only got a squinter today so it was just random. How are ya? In the 2WW yet?

PADonk · 02/12/2023 15:22

@G3mini2 yeah I typically ovulate day 12 or 13 of my cycle, so about 8 or 9 days after my period. I’d think 2 full weeks after would be pretty late and unusual? But who knows, my possible ovulation this month has about a 3 day range 😂

@Catson ah I’m so glad alls going well, and I’m sure your scan will be perfect - make sure you update when you have it x

OP posts:
Catson · 02/12/2023 14:29

@G3mini2 I would have ovulated within the week of my period ending but my cycles are 24-26 days usually.

@PADonk just at the praying everything is still going ok stage. 10 weeks now, got my scan in a couple of weeks so hopefully it will show a happy growing baby 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 been really struggling with fatigue, sickness and food aversions which is harder this time around with a toddler to chase after

G3mini2 · 02/12/2023 11:20

@BB78910 finally some good news!!💕 I'm so happy for you, please update is with a pic of it tonight I'm so excited

@PADonk I dunno I just feel like my cycle are all messed up since my chemical... I'm hearing you don't really ovulate to the 2nd week after period but recently my app says a few days after period ends I'm in my fertile week🤦🏻‍♀️ I dunno I'm so confused with the app & body atm and I don't really take ovulation strips... but we will see. He's been good as he can get so health wise so im just taking it day by day im not even trying but it just so happens we had it one my first fertile day. So we will see xx

PADonk · 02/12/2023 10:15

@BB78910 just remembered you did have some spotting a week or so ago - do you think you might have ovulated earlier than you thought? And if so the ongoing high LH’s could mean multiple ovulations… 🤭

@G3mini2 sorry forgot in my excitement to say yeyyyy, so nice to have you back in the fold 🥰 and yeah anything’s possible, esp with all the weird and (apparently) wonderful stuff happening this month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Catson lovely to hear from you, how’s your pregnancy going?

@SwordToFlamethrower sorry I have no wisdom to offer but welcome to the thread and hopefully you get the answer you want when you ICs arrive 😊

@Roses12345 any updates your end, Roses? Xx

@BB78910 omgomgomgomgomg!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰 Ah mate I am SOOOOOOO happy for you I could actually do a little dance!!! Congratulations! Wasn’t going to wade in on your implantation bleed as we’ve been through that what feels like a million times now and I knew you wouldn’t appreciate it 🤪 but I had SUCH a feeling for you this month 🎉🎉🎉 honestly it’s like Christmas has come early xxxxxx

BB78910 · 02/12/2023 09:33

@Catson @PADonk @Roses12345
I really cannot believe it. I got a real squinter on an IC this morning. It’s pink too and the photo doesn’t do it justice. I didn’t have any of my usual symptoms that I had with my prior 3 pregnancies like my body just played one massive trick on me. I could cry 😭😭😭😭😭
will test this evening after work just to know I’m not dreaming

@SwordToFlamethrower you might get on fine with one step tests, but they were giving me false negatives at the start of my current pregnancy 🙈

G3mini2 · 02/12/2023 07:27

@BB78910 I've never had implantation bleeding🤦🏻‍♀️ with my 2 pregnancies I didn't really have any symptoms apart from sore boobs which I thought nothing of as that's normal leading up to my period. No need to crush your excitement just yet 🤞🏻x

SwordToFlamethrower · 01/12/2023 23:07

Catson · 01/12/2023 22:49

@SwordToFlamethrower I'm sure you're more fertile when your periods first return

Ordered some one steps. Arriving Sunday.

@SwordToFlamethrower I'm sure you're more fertile when your periods first return

Catson · 01/12/2023 22:48

@BB78910 I got an implantation bleed with my first. Nothing with my second
