@Kohel there is something faint there I think. Keep testing and keep us updated

Kohel · 12/04/2024 20:19

Is this just terrible line eyes or looking like the start of something?

@Kirkikins I was 13dpo for a positive with my first, negative up until then as well!!

Kohel · 12/04/2024 08:27

Kirkikins · 12/04/2024 07:43

@Kohel fingers crossed for you! I'm.10dpo today and tested negative and let it really shake me because of all the people that get them at 8 or 9 and I feel like I'm out now. I wish I had your positivity

I got my positive with my ectopic at 11DPO, which would be today. But definitely know it could be later too. 10DPO is still really early so don’t let that put you off!!! All of my PMS symptoms have been very different since my ectopic surgery so it’s hard to pin point the differences now! Good luck!! X

I’m 10DPO. Tested negative this morning but not giving up. This evening have had lots of cramping and feeling bloated. Totally symptom spotting but think we all are 🤣 tested again tomorrow….would be our rainbow babe after an ectopic 🤞🏼💕

SummerSun24 · 11/04/2024 20:22

@emmatcc1 the thing is I'm not too sure!! I could potentially be about 9dpo based on app and CM (kind of it's not the same since having my LO, not as obvious anymore I don't think then feels like it goes on for weeks? It's random) So maybe I'll allow myself the hope for now that it could be a good sign!!!

MaybeBaby2024 · 11/04/2024 19:49

@Daniki yes I do have irregular cycles. And it’s gotten worse since I came off the pill 3 years ago and breastfeeding DS1. Had a 3 month gap between my last 2 periods 🙄

Oh well guess will have to break the news to DP we need to do some more baby dancing later. I’m sure he will be devastated 😂😂

Kirkikins · 11/04/2024 19:45

I'm sending everyone who's had AF appear big hugs and best wishes for next month xx

@SummerSun24 How many dpo are you? Do you usually get cramps before af? Not to get your hopes up but my first symptom was cramping probably from implantation, also made me think I’m gonna get af early.

SummerSun24 · 11/04/2024 18:28

Aww that's a shame @emmatcc1 and @RW269 , sorry to hear of AF arriving! I've started to feel a bit crampy so I feel like this month it's going to be an early AF 😩

Daniki · 11/04/2024 17:55

@MaybeBaby2024 are your periods usually all over the place or do you normally ovulate at the same time? Maybe this is your true peak now? It's all very confusing tbh! And yes, nothing makes me angrier than what we were taught in school, only had to look at a man to get pregnant! If only it was that easy 😂

RRAEE · 11/04/2024 16:25

(Accidently posted in next months chat before I realised but any advice would be very appreciated)

I'm a week late now and still nothing either way 😪

Any one got any advice on when it's time to call the GP ? Or Should i just keep waiting it out?

MaybeBaby2024 · 11/04/2024 13:23

Now I am confused. Had what I thought was my peak on the 6th. Then yesterday and today loads of EWCM so did another easy@home OPK to be sure, and it’s positive. Highest reading I have ever had and a higher number than what I thought was my peak last week…. So possibly body tried to ovulate last week but didn’t and now this is it?

Jesus as at school they made it sound like getting pregnant was so easy…

@RW269 On the bright side so far I’m not having any cramps. I’m hoping my next cycle will be more regular like they used to be. Next possible due date will be in 2025, it’s so weird thinking we could have a child in that year. I feel so old.

RW269 · 11/04/2024 10:45

@emmatcc1 sorry to hear that :( same CD1 today it’s just arrived with a vengence. what a time! Bit rude of it being late and giving us more hope :( sending you love !

Well I finally got my period… A WHOLE WEEK LATE.

OP posts:
Daniki · 11/04/2024 10:18

SummerSun24 · 10/04/2024 20:47

Just have to book monthly holidays at this rate @Daniki !

Oh god bless you @RW269 it's horrible isn't it! Things are a bit meh, need to start tracking ovulation as my app predictions aren't the best I don't think with slightly irregular cycles! Also not 100% on where I was with CM this month as sorry if tmi but erm 'left overs' from doing the deed are quite similar? So hard to tell what's what! So shag week is more like fornication fortnight which is a bit tiring really 😂 so if no success this month I'm gonna try the opks I think and hope I don't get too bogged down in them. According to app I am 8dpo at most I think. Waiting untill next Friday to test thought to be sure.

That's good news to hear @peanutmm! The hope lives on.

Wouldn't that be great 😂😂😂

@babydust23 I would take cd33 as peak and you should definitely lower the amount of tests you do to 2 per day

OP posts:
babydust23 · 11/04/2024 09:55

My two different apps are telling me different ovulation dates 😂 irregular cycles (28-46 days) so I'm not surprised with the long cycle. Would you go from the first day you had a peak or the second?

@peanutmm oh no, I’m so sorry to hear that :( sending you lots of hugs, I really hope you get a sticky one soon, it’s so hard isn’t it when it’s such a guessing game of what’s happening

peanutmm · 11/04/2024 07:16

@RW269 and just like that I seem to be out, started bleeding last night.

I've had 3 confirmed pregnancies and they all had the same symptoms that were unique to pregnancy for me. When we started trying again, I had the exact same symptoms the first month, but started bleeding a few days before my missed period so hadn't tested yet. Had the same symptoms now so was getting excited, but looks like it's another false alarm. But because I have started bleeding before my period is due, I don't know if I should count it as a chemical pregnancy or not. They just don't seem to be sticking this time around.

MaybeBaby2024 · 11/04/2024 04:26

Only just realised there was a new thread! I thought the last one had gone very quiet lol.

5dpo today. Hope to start testing on Tuesday (9dpo) as that’s when I got a BFP with my last pregnancy. Not feeling too hopeful though as only managed to DTD once around ovulation this month, but fingers crossed!

skr97 · 10/04/2024 23:45

Hi, joining from the previous thread, around 3dpo based on ovulation symptoms, will start testing from the 18th
