This is for those who are trying to conceive crossing over from the end of June to July. Sending positive vibes to all of us !💙

@LucyCL no, I’ll be stopping all together now. It’s completely destroyed my resilience and self-esteem!

good luck to anyone trying

Cycles vary too so not sure when it'll arrive. Just wish it would so can get head in right place for next cycle.

I know you're not out until AF arrives so you never know. 🤞🏼

To be honest, I feel you although I always feel nothing during the whole menstrual cycle. Today is still 9 dpo and my BBT is still elevated… I am a bit fed up of waiting. I am happy with AF or BFP, at this stage I really want to move forward.

Same for us. Today the cramps feel more like period cramps and my moods are so irritable and angry today. I think AF is gonna arrive tonight :/.

My Chemical was September / October last year and then my M/C was end of May.
I also had a M/C before conceiving my son so I explained that to the doctor.
I had a phone appt and explained my background and that I have a new pregnancy.
They are going to call the EPU to book me in and come back to me so not prescribed yet but I hope they will.
There was a good page for information on Tommy's
I think I must be low too as I don't test positive until late normally. I was researching diets for progesterone, looks like I'll be eating lots of beets!

Thank you for sharing your experience! So you had 3 MCs in total? Do you have any proof which shows you have low progesterone? If so, did you show it to the doctor? Is explaining the background good enough for the doctor to prescribe progesterone?
If it is possible, could you forward me the link of the page you found on Tommy's please? Thank you!

I had a CP at the beginning of May and I have done lots of blood tests (all private) since my 1st MC (this March) so on 7 dpo of this cycle I found out that I had low-ish level of progesterone and estrogen based on the female hormone blood test result.
When did you have your CP and how did you get the GP to prescribe progesterone If you don't mind me asking?
I don't know what to do. At the moment, I take vitamin B6, C, E, Zinc and Magnesium with prenatal vitamins to boost progesterone and estrogen levels.

I’m also due Saturday!!

lots of my friends have told me they didn’t test postive until the day of their period. So I keep telling myself we’re not out til we’re out. Just so impatient and time is going so so so slow.

Really hope this is the case for you too!
I'm not going to test until Saturday now either!

It's good to hear your positive outlook, I guess at this point we can't control anything anyway.
I've just asked my doctor for a prescription for Progesterone so hoping that will help me. I'm still nervous it might be a chemical again but guess there's no point worrying :)

quick question - do you check if your period is late from the first day it started or the last?

CSSL7 · 11/07/2024 14:30

CorneliaB · 11/07/2024 09:47

Oh that's so rubbish you're feeling like that. My symptoms changed a little after my loss too, Im having cramps today too so convinced myself my 'positive' is a water mark!
This process is just so hard mentally, I hope you are doing okay and that it actually will be good news!
I never got any positive from the boots one until far along previously!
When is AF due? I'm due Saturday

dont think is our month.
BFNs. But lots of symptoms. Full of cold for the 2nd time this cycle. Just feel really rubbish.

I've had niggling pains for the last 3 weeks. Today feel more AF pre warning niggles. I think ive convinced myself it's all been AF creeping in rather than the BFP we desperately want.

Mind games!

LucyCL · 11/07/2024 13:15

Thank you! Today is 9 dpo and BBT went back up after yesterday's dip (the secondary estrogen surge) which was expected. I expect it to stay elevated for 2/3 days because my luteal phase usually lasts for 11/12 days. Currently I have no expectations and am just waiting for the outcome with calm.😀

Ovulation confuses me 😅
So I had a positive strip test yesterday but this morning it is negative again does that mean I've ovulated already?
Scared I've missed my window as due to older children and work commitments we could DTD yesterday but we did the day before the positive ovulation test and will again tonight I changed my work shift because I thought today was my most fertile day but now I fear we missed it 😔

So confused I know sperm can live for a few days so we should be okay but wanted to give us the best chance this cycle

I use BBT and LH strips to track ovulation. Some people have LH surge for 12 hours which is really quick whereas mine lasts for 1 day.
In my case, for this cycle I had sex every day until 6 dpo to cover all possible fertile days. But there is only 25% chance of getting pregnant. If no BFP, I will continue to do it every future cycle until I get it. Fingers crossed!

As long as your BBT stays elevated and AF is not here, you are not out yet. I used to have expectations then 2 MCs happened. Nowadays I find it easier to have none so I don't get upset or excited. Fingers crossed for you!

I think the best chances are the sex before the peak of ovulation.
That sperm has more chance of getting to the egg that any after ovulation.
hopefully you’ve accidentally timed it perfectly!

Aw thank you <3 so happy for you though.

I’m using the wandflo (sp?) cheap Amazon ones. But used a boots early response on Monday and a Superdrug normal one yesterday.

i am having more proper period cramps today though so I think AF is arriving today.

I think my PMS symptoms must have completely changed since my loss.

fml I’m gutted because I had all the symptoms. I am fairly certain these are period cramps though. They feel nothing like flutters.

Thank you!
I'm a little nervous. Oddly this time around about 8dpo but I've never had implantation so early in my previous pregnancies.

@CSSL7 this is the first time I've had an early BFP in my previous pregnancies I've had to wait until at least the day AF is due if not the day after as my HCG seems slow to rise. (Including the pregnancy that ended with my DS) So I hope that you are similar!
What tests are you using?
