Ok here thanks but the whole journey can be quite disheartening can’t it. Have you done a test?

Yup I'm pregnant! :)

@starryx there's still a chance for you this month , fingers crossed. I just don't understand ovulation anymore , it's so unpredictable.

Thank you @starryx AF made its appearance and I've been feeling down since then. I am now CD5 and thinking of maybe starting testing for ovulation again. I stopped before because it was impacting my MH but now I feel like maybe we've been running blind .

I am sorry to hear :((( well maybe that's worth a shot!! As people can ovulate very differently

I'm CD 28.. not holding out too much hope but we will see.

Can I join ? I would so love for this month to be our month. I'm possibly 11DPO (not totally sure) but it was BFN this afternoon on a cheapie.. I was so hopeful at the start of March and today cried my eyes out most of the day thinking we've missed it again . Doesn't help that three close friends have announced their pregnancies all due within a month of each other

Of course welcome! And I know it's so heart breaking seeing people with pregnancy or even babies for that matter.. it hurts so bad. I'm just keeping my hope that the earth will bless me soon.

I'm really hoping this is my month 😭😭 I thought I'd really be pregnant by now. Let's see how this month goes. This has been one of those months that I ain't restricted myself to healthy eating. Because i think that maybe stressing me out more. Which stress isn't what you want. I came off the pill August/ September time. From observing my hormones over the past months I'd like to say I think they are starting to get more balanced and normal

@starryx I think I'm also 5-6DPO and definitely symptom spotting, but nothing too obvious going on. What are you doing to keep yourself occupied? when will you test? x

Honestly working and whenever I'm home cooking/gaming/taking my step kids out the park and what not !
And from my last time I'm honestly not going to test until I'm a week late xx

I'm currently 5-6 dpo nothing too exciting apart from a bit of nausea last night and this morning and bloating. But af isn't due for 9 days... so idk what to think

@soymilknosugar Thank you so much, I'll grab some of them and hold on as long as I can :)

@lindsayn someone shared this on another thread - helpful data. It shows that testing at 9dpo will give you roughly 50/50 chance of testing positive if you’re pregnant

try an early pink dye test if you decide to test early. Boots own are meant to be good.

This is my first TTW after removing my implant on 07/02. I got some sort of period between 13/03-16/03 and then my first positive ovulation test on 27/03 so now I just need to wait. I'm not getting my hopes up as it is our first cycle, I didn't even know that I was going to get an ovulation positive that day and I didn't realise how low the chances of actually getting pregnant are (at school they make it seem like a sure thing!).

I'm not sure when I should test because I've seen some people have faint positives on 8/9DPO but others have said its been more that 12DPO. Other than a bit of stomach cramping I've got no symptoms of possible implantation however it could just be in my mind about the craps and it could just be too early for symptoms. Equally, people don't always get symptoms so I don't know.

If it's meant to be this cycle then it will be! Good luck to everyone with the TTW.

soymilknosugar · 02/04/2024 13:29

think i have slightly sore boobs but could be imagining it. Trying to hold out till around 10dpo to test but brought some tests this morning so chances are they won’t last long lol
