@MakeMeJuno we are on the same timeline - cd11 here and had a CP last month too (I think - either that or two false positive tests ...) I've no idea when I am ovulating now; it's usually cd14 but had a bit of EWCM on cd9 and nothing since. Regretting not starting OPKs think I will next month as I am worried I am not ovulating at all

If you had a CP I would take that as a very strong sign you are ovulating! I think false positive tests are very rare especially if you did more than one. I am trying to hold off the OPKs and just DTD every other day from now until CD18 when I will do one... they are you are super fertile after a CP because your body was primed for pregnancy so fingers crossed!!

@MummyV2021 that is frustrating that you’re still testing positive. I was only 4+2 with my CP but maternity triage advised to test again 1 week after the bleeding started (if it had stopped) and if it was still testing positive, even faintly to ring them again and they’d arrange for a scan to ensure everything had passed. Were you offered this?

I’m 2DPO now, still doing my OPKs just to get the flow of the month. I’ve had an increase in my LH again today, quite a dark line. I had this last month with my CP too. Still feeling bloated as well, I was pretty much bloated from the moment I ovulated until I was like 11 weeks pregnant with my daughter so trying not to read in to anything as it’s obviously far too early to be anything.

MrsH26 · 03/01/2025 09:53

@ManifestingBaby2023 im going with 3 times a day at the moment! I’ll probably knock it on the head once I’ve got a cycle and something to go by.

it is very stressful!
I’m cd22 if i go by withdrawal bleed as start of cycle. But cd13 by the spotting I had with coil in situ and also had a light bleed 28 days following that. LH is still low though and been feeling VERY hormonal the last few days and a bit crampy yesterday and today.

god knows what’s going on!

ManifestingBaby2023 · 03/01/2025 09:28

@AmazeB @MrsH26 This was me after my implant removal. I had a period just after and then OPKs were all negative even with bodily signs. We just tried to DTD every other day when I was seeing signs. I had to stop the OPKs as they were stressing me out 😅

Must have ovulated though, as getting vvvf positives 🤞🏻 so hopefully its happening for you too! Think the OPKs are a science in themselves, having to get the right time for you etc

MummyV2021 · 03/01/2025 09:26

Morning ladies!! Firstly, congrats @MyGardenDaisies what lovely news!! So pleased for you!!

I'm on CD14 today and have been having ovulation cramping and bloating since last night so would seem my cycle hasn't been affected by my early MC at all! (I didn't realise it was classed as an MC once you hit 5 weeks, so thought it was another chemical!)

Anyway, I was still having light bleeding until yesterday (so pretty much 2 weeks in all). When the hospital did a urine PG test they said it was negative so I just went with that. However, I thought I would do my own this morning just to be sure and there's still a faint line! I didn't think it was possible to ovulate with HCG still in your system? I've also NEVER had it take this long for my tests to go fully negative! So annoying!

Thank you everyone ❤️

@momofonex I got the 1-2 weeks pregnant at 11DPO I think. But I didn’t do OPKs this cycle, so based ovulation on historic data.
In terms of gestation it was 3+6 if that helps x

CD10 here... I usually dont ovulate until CD18 earliest so feels like such a long wait since the CP last month!

@MyGardenDaisies congrats 😍

Hen2000 · 03/01/2025 08:39

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations that is wonderful news!!

5dpo here. Woke up to cramping this morning. Premom is predicting period next Friday. Anyone else similar time frame?

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations!

Anyone waiting to ovulate like me? All negative on OPKs. We decided we're going to DTD anyway as my CM looks promising

Me 🙋🏻‍♀️
still nothing after having my coil out! It’s so frustrating!

momofonex · 03/01/2025 08:29

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations 😍 I think I'm going to do the 25mIU/ml digital today too as I've only got positives on 10mIu/ml so far! How many DPO are you to get the positive digital with weeks? :)

ManifestingBaby2023 · 03/01/2025 08:07

@MyGardenDaisies Massive Congratulations! ✨

How long did you wait from the positives to the digital? I feel like you know in your heart its real but it hits differently when its on that tiny screen in words! ❤️

Same here! All ovulation strips are big fat negatives - clearblue ones are giving me a flashing smiley which means I should hit my peak tomorrow or Saturday but I'm not feeling optimistic considering how light my strips are. I'm on cd 13 but going to dtd anyway and hope we catch it x

Thank you everyone 😘

@Kateb149 I am overweight so my endocrinologist said that when I TTC/am pregnant I need a bigger dose, so I take 2x400 of Folic Acid. Vitamin D is also extra because I am deficient, and the Proceive has less than my doctor said to take.

Officially pregnant with baby nr 2!!!

thank you all for being such a great support for this cycle and especially to ones that have been on the journey for the past 5 months! I hope to see you at the Due September thread 🤞🤍

Huge congratulations @MyGardenDaisies , delighted for you 🌼

Room4onemore · 02/01/2025 20:14

@MyGardenDaisies congratulations 🍾

@Cinnamonbunn I reckon I ovulated yesterday as I got my peak LH the day before and had a very sharp stabbing pain in my left side so might have even actually felt the egg being released?! I don’t know if my bloating is just related to being mid cycle and also all the festive food and drink. I am a bit concerned though as I had a CP on the 21st so hoping it’s nothing to do with that. I tested a week after the bleeding started though and it was a BFN so nothing should be left to cause an issue. Will just see how it goes. I’ve had a ridiculous amount of EWMC today as well, that started yesterday.
