CD1 - Anyone else?

Sorry hear that @rosecbrm ! You never know it may still be too early. Have read online some people don't implant until 12 DPO and you wouldn't get a BFP until implantation has happened. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤍🤞🏼

@Biscuitsarelife1 yes I've heard that too. So you never know. Too bad I can't see if an egg was fertilised!! 😂😂

Yes please do let us know! If you've just ovulated apparently they can see on the ultrasounds so would be quite interesting! And no I don't think men have age as an issue -lucky things!

@Biscuitsarelife1
I would safely say that you won't have issues this time round. You were just very lucky the first time and shows that everything was working as it should.
But having a check may be something to work towards if you have no joy the next few months.
I'll let you know how mines goes tomorrow and what's involved.
I'm 28 (29 next month) so I would hope that age is on my side for me too... DH is 36 though but I don't think it's as big an issue for men? X

@MaryHua I have seen these scans and think there's definitely no harm in going- Window to the Womb do them here for us! I'd love to go to double check everything's OK- maybe I will go if we have no luck in a few more months.

That's the thing, we decided we wanted to start trying- no prep for it at all in terms of vitamins, diet, etc, didn't even do OPKs just went by the Flo App and I fell pregnant our first month trying which is why I stupidly thought it would be the same again. I haven't been on hormonal contraception the whole time we have been together so it's not that causing any issues. I have no idea if we were just lucky the first time, or if something has happened in between to one of us which now means it's taking longer? He is 2 for reference and I've only just turned 27 so not hugely older!

@Biscuitsarelife1 oh I can entirely relate. We started TTC in August when I got my implant out, so not long at all. I ovulated 9 or 10 days after having implant out so my fertility came back quickly.
But I'm on month 4 now and I'm also starting to think what are we doing wrong? We time sex so well (we think...?)
I got so worked up when I wasn't ovulating on time that I've booked a fertility scan - it's tomorrow at 10am and I'm still going to just get some reassurance maybe?

As for you already having a wee one, don't let that make you feel that you can't express your worries. It's still entirely justified to feel that way so don't feel guilty.
If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take you to fall pregnant with your first child? Were you trying for a baby? X

I honestly didn't think I'd ever feel this way but it is starting to get me and we've only really been trying since September so no time at all- and I've already got a little one so I can't really moan! But thank you for your kind message 🤍

@Biscuitsarelife1
Awww sorry to hear. It never gets easier does it?
But I'm so glad that you've got some nice things lined up, and it's a fun time of year.
By the time my AF is due you'll be nearly ovulating again. I know you're having a break this month, but if you did decide to actively try, then you'll have to keep us posted.
Take care of yourself though and do something nice 😊 x

Officially out girls! AF just arrived as I thought it would as I ovulated a day earlier than predicted on my Flo app. I'm a little gutted but I've got a busy December - going away and various Christmas parties so guess makes things easier! We're having a break this month too!

Keep us posted on you guys! Best of luck girlies x

Ah that's useful to know @Biscuitsarelife1 @rosecbrm - might do a Black Friday shop on Amazon after all! 😅😅
Fingers crossed for more blue/pink solid lines for you @rosecbrm

I second that, I hear the digis are not as sensitive!

I don't think FRER is sold here anymore but you can buy on Amazon

@rosecbrm well my advice would be to do the clearblue lines one first, because it's more sensitive. The digital ones only seem to work well after minimum 14DPO.
First response don't seem to be making or supplying shops in the UK with tests anymore? Has anyone else found this?
Best of luck!!

@rosecbrm that's very often how they start out!! Are you doing different brands? Very exciting xx

@Biscuitsarelife1 ah sorry to hear.
You just never know though... it's early morning CD13 for you (?) and I don't want to give false hope but sometimes that can still be too early.
Hope you're doing alright x

BFN this morning, not even a squinter. I guess I am out for this month

All sounds super promising @rosecbrm ! I had some weird spotting when I wiped again - almost looked like tiny little blood vessels in clear CM - absolutely no idea. I just went to check and it's gone again.

Do you know much about cervix positioning, opening, firmness etc to predict pregnancy/period? I've been trying to read up on it but dont get a definite answer.
