Onthedouble123 · 09/02/2024 18:24

Im definitely out. V.heavy flow yesterday. Got my hertility test in the post so I'll be doing that tomorrow morning which feels productive at least xx

Turns out it was a late ovulation for me so I’m back in the TWW 1 DPO today 😅 going to be a lonnnggg cycle for me! Good luck ladies x

Right back at you x

IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy · 09/02/2024 14:41

I had strong cramps last night. Maybe it's an early period. Would love it to be implantation but suspect not. Hope you're all doing ok.

potentially it could mean your pregnant sometimes the test confuses HCG for LH as to reason why positive LH

LimeEagle · 07/02/2024 10:32

Do you mind if I join? 8DPO today but got a blazing positive LH this morning. So confused what this means 😩

8dpo
shoto2024 · 07/02/2024 10:30

I heard it can take up to between 12dpo and 14 dpo for a positive to show up. Which is why they advise 14 days after ovulation

shoto2024 · 07/02/2024 10:27

Pink CM could be implantation, not over until AF comes and it's still earlier days.

I thought I'd have a positive test by now though at 10dpo.

I think I'm all over the place. 10dpo, bfn.

I got my first period after my neonatal death on January 4th - and I was worried as my luteal phase was only 9 days.

This month I'm now 10dpo and period hasn't come. I'm so worried. I had such a regular cycle prior this. And because I've had cramps and the pink cm 3 days ago, it just seems inevitable that my period will come

shoto2024 · 07/02/2024 08:32

The wait is the hardest part of the whole tww am trying for my first at 35. Cycle number 4 of trying, am 6dpo, had some cramping yesterday and a little this morning. Really trying to over think symptoms particularly sore breast as I always get that with AF, also get cramping before hand but normal only a day or 2 before AF due. I have a short luteal phase of 10 days, so due period on Monday 12th. Trying to hold of from testing until than. We got it bang on in terms of dtd before peak, peak and ovulation days. So am I praying for bfp.

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 08:13

@Sunandsea13 oh okay I'm gna try and be more positive. I feel our but what's the point of being down and negative until I know for sure. Gonna try and be more of a glass half full person lol.
Such lovely news for you especially with pcos as I'm sure tracking everything gets really frustrating bless you. Massive congrats.

@IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy I struggle so so so bad so also welcome any tips. I just can't seem to shake the obsession though and I always feel so stressed and down waiting. Its awful isn't it.

@Onthedouble123 I misscsrried my first pregnanxy in Nov too. I was 12 weeks. People on here say should take thay as a positivr we w3re pregnant but the 3 months since has felt like a lifetim3 and like it's never gona happen. Wish I was more laid back with it all but I'm getting worse each cycle

IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy · 07/02/2024 08:04

Onthedouble123 · 07/02/2024 08:00

@Sunandsea13 love it! So pleased for you both 😍
@IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy no advice as I'm exactly the same and haven't found a better way to manage it yet 😕
I ordered an at home testing kit from hertility last night so that I atleast feel like I'm doing something productive. I did fall pregnant last year but had a MC in November so I know things have been working to a degree.
I think I've only realistically got a few months left in me though and will have to find ways to accept it's not going to happen after that.
This is my second. I'm 37 and just don't want to spend the early years of my first all consumed trying for a second. But then each time I think okay, well we'll give it one more month..! Xx

Sending hopeful and positive vibes your way x

@Onthedouble123 yes he got woken up at 6am with the lamp on and test in his face 😂😂

IsthisthereallifeIsthisjustfantasy · 07/02/2024 07:50

I think I'm 6dpo but not entirely sure this month. Anyone else find this time of the month really hard? There's a big build up to ovulation, all the testing, you've done your best! And now it's just a waiting game and I feel so helpless. I feel like I'm wishing my life away waiting to see if I'm pregnant and then waiting for the next fertile window. Any tips for having a better attitude?

Sunandsea13 · 07/02/2024 07:49

@miamiamia869 no don’t feel like that! I could be out by up to a week as I’m only going off when my ultrasound saw a corpus luteum! I have PCOS so tracking is very hard for me

Onthedouble123 · 07/02/2024 07:47

@Sunandsea13 congratulations! What a beautiful word that is 🥰
Have you told your DP now? Xx

@Sunandsea13 just realised you are 10dpo same as me. Mine is negative so I'm even more sure I'm out now. Congrats again to you though x

LW678 · 07/02/2024 07:45

@colleenbean86 i tested negative too. 9DPO AF due Monday, hoping it’s still too early. @Sunandsea13 congratulations!

miamiamia869 · 07/02/2024 07:45
