@Gemmaemilyx oh that's promising 🤞🏻 wishing you a good line progressing soon and healthy pregnancy 💫
May i ask about you , was your ovulation late this month after the chemical ? I had one last month too and not sure if i ovulated or not. Thanks 😊

Gemmaemilyx · 04/11/2024 09:22

Well my app says 7dpo, but I think ovulated on the day of peak (just from ovulation pains 😂) so I think 8dpo, last month on my chemical I didn’t get a positive until 11dpo though so I’m apprehensive… thanks girls!!! Xxx

I've got everything crossed for you !
And same here re ovulation cramps, I got cramps the day I peaked !

@KT199 at least I guess you can move on ! And don't worry, next cycle is cycle 5 for me so you're not alone ! 🥹

@pastelpink0 omg tell me about it, I had super regular period and loads of EWCM before ttc. The first month of ttc completely
Missed my peak, cycle 2 was 49 days, last cycle was 30 days but we didn't manage to DTD enough and obvs this cycle I ovulated on cd23 😂 Idk about you but I feel like I'm constantly having to guess the next move because there is no pattern here .

@Lila34830 what CD did ovulation finally arrive? I did wonder if you’d ovulate after your blood test!! Xx

Morning girl. Arrived a few days after!
I had my P test on Monday 28 (CD 21) and my lh started rising on weds 30, peaked on Thursday 31 (CD24) and down again on Friday 1st ! I had ovulation cramps on Thursday evening as well.
Let's hope it worked 🤞🏼 we only DTD Wednesday and Thursday (peak day...)

@Clara202
Hoping for some BFP!
Looks like I'm the one who is behind everybody after my super late ovulation 😅

Last month it was me who was way behind everyone, aren't our bodies so strange!
I was a bit tearful the last night we DTD as it was our last chance to conceive this month and I was talking to my hubby about how no matter how clockwork my cycle normally is, as soon as we've started TTC everything is up the left and nothing is how it used to be!! Which makes me constantly question if I'm pregnant but no, not yet 🥲

Fingers crossed November is a lucky month 🤞🏻

KT199 · 04/11/2024 08:32

Morning ladies!! ☺️

@Lila34830 I have started spotting so suspect she is very close by. I’m not sad or mad, actually relieved.. would rather she showed up ASAP once I know it’s negative didn’t wanna be wondering what was going on for days with no positive test!!

100% agree about this thread, has made me feel way less alone when everyone I know is getting pregnant first time and I’m here going into cycle 4 😂

@Clara202 @pastelpink0 Don’t worry your both too early on for any symptoms as implantation wouldn’t have happened yet. As for feeling like other cycles, that’s normal too as your body will be creating progesterone which is done either way. Fingers crossed for you girlies 🤞

I ovulated 5 days ago, and period is due in 5 days but getting all the signs now that’s it’s going to come in the next few days, I’m sad, irritable and boobs are tender. I feel like my two week wait will be more of an 8/9 day wait 🤯 I’m only in my second cycle but the pattern of the last cycle seems to be repeating itself and I’m just bored/fed up of the whole thing already! Patience is not my strong point evidently 😅

This is the same as me. 5DPO and waiting patiently (or not so patiently)...
I haven't had any symptoms yet but last month I was Googling every single one! It doesn't help that a lot of early pregnancy symptoms overlap with PMS 🙄
Hang in there, we've got this 💪🏻

Lila34830 · 04/11/2024 07:01

@Clara202 you're not out until AF shows ! 🤞🏼

@KT199 i don't dare asking if AF showed up ...?

How is everybody ?

Just wanted to say, our thread is such a positive thread, every morning I check messages in the genuine hope one of us has got her BFP. Makes me so happy when I see one.
Good luck for the week ahead ladies 🫶🏽
I'm 4 DPO today (or 3, unsure) so no testing for me until at least the weekend !

Itstime2023 · 03/11/2024 21:07

Tested - negative.
I won't test again now until late period.
Anyway I think it's unlikely this month as only DTD once in fertile window.

I tested negative at 9DPO!! And very faint on 10DPO! Give it another day or two and retest!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Heartypandaa · 03/11/2024 21:10

@Itstime2023 dont lose hope quite yet, i read you are only 9dpo 🤞🏻hang in there girl 😊

lovealways97 · 03/11/2024 21:09

I've done a seperate post but what do you ladies think of this?

I often only have 26 day cycles but last month was only 25
I started doing the clearblue ovulation tests on cd8 and it was a plain circle. since then I've had a flashing smiley every day. Its now CD16 and still no solid smiley.
do you think I've missed ovulation and it was before CD8? AF was here until CD5!

Itstime2023 · 03/11/2024 21:07

Hi ladies! Back from lurking to say congratulations and send big hugs to those with AF. Such a conflicting time isn’t it.

God this week has dragged. I’m about 7 DPO but got another week / 10 days before AF due. This waiting is not the one is it? Thankfully feeling more anxious about work and mortgage applications, then went to a wedding yesterday and I don’t usually drink much these days but ended up getting drunk. Hope I haven’t killed the little swimmers down there!

hugs to those in the waiting room xo

Heartypandaa · 03/11/2024 20:37

I second what @Lila34830 said hopefully the good news continues for all of us 💫

Lila34830 · 03/11/2024 20:36

Very true ! I feel like this cycle is a lucky cycle 🤞🏼

well I would say test before midnight because we haven't had our BFP for the 3rd yet!!
