I have searched and can’t find a thread for anyone who’s Ttc this month!
I’ll be onto month 4 since I had a mmc of trying to conceive! I won’t lie when AF showed yesterday I had a full blown meltdown about it and felt like I would never get pregnant when in reality 3 months really isn’t that long!
I am very lucky to already have 2 wonderful little boys age 7 &3 but really would like a 3rd to make out family complete!

Hello, I'm cd3 today. I had a MMC at 10 weeks in March. We're not feeling ready to jump in quite the way we did with my last two pregnancies, but we've decided to track very loosely and just see what happens this month.

I'll only be tracking really to keep tabs on my cycle, as it has taken 6 weeks after the D&C for AF to show up.

Ooh, looking good ThelastRolo20. Absolutely crossing all fingers for you x

Thanks guys 🥰 hope you're right 🙊 we managed to DTD earlier so hopefully it's enough 😬

@ThelastRolo20 did you do any more tests?

I'll do another one with FMU - which will hopefully make it seem real! Best of luck - today should cover it 🥰

KarmaCaramello · 06/05/2024 09:26

@Bb542 exact same happened to me, had a darker than usual opk in the afternoon but a few days earlier than usual so thought we can relax and dtd tomorrow. Positive opk late that night and only managed to dtd the night after, when opk was negative and o symptoms were gone! But it’s confusing because some sources say o symptoms are just the symptoms leading up to o, and on o day itself you actually don’t have symptoms or a +opk anymore.

Anyway wishing you luck and hoping the egg was strong!

I woke up this morning to (TMI) cloudy urine and a negative ovulation test. I had a very dark test yesterday so I thought I'd still have a dark test today. I'm so confused as I normally don't ovulate until day 17ish and we only DTD once 😢 I'll probably be out this month now 💔

If you had the surge yesterday it can take up to 24 hours for egg to be realised and it lives for about 12 hours? So if you can dtd today that will count!

Aww how exciting!! I hope this is it for you! 🤞🤞 The quality of the image just worsens so much when you upload it to here so it's never as clear as it is in person.

The quality image is rubbish 😂 so much clearer in real life but there we are. Thank you - I really hope this one works out, I ovulated on my due date, found out on the same day as I did with my daughter (May bank hols), and having another Jan baby. I've taken folic acid for months so I really can't have done any more!

Thanks everyone! The frer is really clear in real life and pink 🥰 so feeling hopeful - will test again tomorrow!

Morning! Would people let me know if they can see a line too!

I can see a line on the top test 😁

Yes 9DPO so early still 🥰

I think I can see lines on both tests 👀

soymilknosugar · 06/05/2024 08:08

@ThelastRolo20 feel like I can see the hint of something starting on the top test. Fingers crossed!

I’m CD15 which means nothing really as last month was my first period since finishing the depo last year so I suspect ovulation etc will be unpredictable. Still didn’t stop my heart sinking when I saw brown spotting this morning 😩 really hoping this isn’t AF again already!!

Morning. I usually struggle to see lines when people post these, but I can definitely see the lines on the top test. Have everything crossed for you.

Hope you are all ok. My responses are often a bit disjointed, so apologies for that. I often think I could do better with following threads.
Two things have happened to me this weekend. Firstly, I went shopping yesterday realised that most women are pregnant (that's how it is in the spring when people start de-layering and your brain insists that you play the game "soot the pregnant lady" whether you want to or not.
The second thing is that I have a flashing smiley face. I dont expect it to turn static until next weekend though so heaven knows why it has spotted an estragon rise already. I might be very surprised by an early static but it is normally pretty regular, give it take a day. I am in month 5, I think, of trying after my MMC and getting to the point where I am beginning to feel a lot less hopeful during the TWW. I know it's not really that ling but it certainly feels it! I am thinking that as i am starting to expect it to be a no at the end of the cycle I might get a hapoy surprise. Sort of reverse psychology I guess x

Bb542 · 05/05/2024 21:20

We DTD this morning but I've been so sick with an upset tummy all afternoon/evening. Does anyone know if multiple trips to the loo (🙈🙈🙈) affects you when TTC? Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow so we can get back to it 🤣
Hope you ladies are well this evening xx

Just catching up we’d taken our boys out for the day while the weather is nice run off some energy!

Welcome to the newbies! @apple67cherry thats similar to what I had with one of my pregnancies! Hopefully it is implantation for you!!

@Bb542 we are a lot better thankfully! Going to dtd once more tonight just incase 🤣

@ThelastRolo20 I feel like I can see the start of a shadow? I think I have line eyes though but I hope it is!!
@apple67cherry oh hopefully it is implantation!

Cycles range from 21-28 and today is day 28. Have only ever had 1 28 day cycle and that was last month with pink spotting all week but medium flow leading up to AF so this month defo feels different 😁

Tulipwood · 05/05/2024 14:20

Putting my hand in the ring, it will be our first month trying for #2. Due my period in 2 days. Slight obstacle is that my OH is away for the first day of ovulation and I’m away for the last two, so this month might be a test run!

Best of luck - you never know 😊

You're too kind 😂 I'll endeavour to use fmu next time! Absolutely pointless doing it mid afternoon at this point
