Hi everyone
moving over to March now as AF has arrived today. That means my last cycle was 26 days. My cycles haven’t been the same since being on the depo injection. I’ve had 33, 28, 31, 29, 21 lol. As long as I ovulate then I’m happy.

Is temperature the only way to know if you have actually ovulated?

Hi everyone. Congratulations @Kateb149 so lovely to hear such positive news!
@confusedmum25 that is a positive!! How exciting, crossing everything for you!!

I’m 12DPO today and had a vvvfl this morning but thinking it must be indents as surely at 12DPO it would be more than a literal shadow? But would it be possible to get indents on 3 tests?! (Yes - I did that many - I’m mentally unstable I know!) After a miscarriage last June then losing my dad, I’m struggling to even believe my luck could be changing 🥹.

Wishing everything in the TWW lots of baby dust!

I got my first positive at 11DPO so must have implanted fairly early ☺️ I used BBT as well to confirm ovulation. So might be the same for you?

Hi everyone, currently in my 2WW, period due around the 9th. We have been trying for just over a year and I am feeling so hopeless 😔 All my fertilry tests came back perfect but still no pregnancy.

I am getting all the usual PMS symptoms which makes me think I am out this month too but I am still hoping. The only difference I have this month is that I have been feeling extremely tired. Anyone had their usual PMS symptoms but still got BFP? Or am I clutching on to straws? 🤔

Hi,
PMS and pregnancy symptoms are generally the same during the tww, all down to progesterone. Sucks as you can't help but symptom spot but I know it is pointless! Very frustrating

C fl is still great, you can implant anywhere from 6-12dpo so may still be very faint until HCG ramps up a bit in a few days! Congrats

Miffy1994 · 04/03/2025 18:41

Congratulations @Kateb149 and @confusedmum25! so nice to see some positives already! Crossing my fingers with your promising symptoms @BerrieSweet!
1DPO here, ovulated late and only managed to dtd in my fertile window but still hoping it worked 🤞 was expecting to ovulate late as I’ve had a stressful month returning to work from Mat leave, trying to just remind myself that life has to happen around TTC and there’s nothing much I could do to be less stressed!

ThisAquaOP · 04/03/2025 16:31

You know what I did think that and hope that’s the reason! I only use OPKs not BBT so maybe I’m a day or two off with my dates. Period due Thursday so hopefully I’ll have a clearer idea then. How are you feeling - any symptoms? Excited for you!

Sore boobs mainly, not like usual when AF due, its like a weird feeling in them im not sure how to describe it😂 and peeing during the bight also which isnt normal for me. Apart from that, nothing!

ThisAquaOP · 04/03/2025 16:31

confusedmum25 · 04/03/2025 15:40

Are you sure of your ovulation date?? you could gave also implanted later!

@Kateb149 thank you so much I really appreciate this! Taking vit d iron & wild nutrition which has folic acid in it. Could I ask what omega 3 / coq-10 you took?

Always happy to help ☺️ I was taking this Omega 3 -
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07649WV5Y?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

When doing research apparently the EPA and DHA should add up to at least 1000mg to see the benefits.

And I took a few different brands of CoQ10 but the main thing I aimed for was at least 400mg daily - some sites recommend 600mg but I thought i’d start with 400 to see how I got on and it obviously did the trick!

The other vitamins you’re taking sound great, i’ve heard good things about Wild Nutrition x

I’d like to tentatively join this chat please!!! Only on cycle day two so a while to go..!

Am 40 and trying for 3rd. Have a 5 yr old and a 4yr old. Have had two miscarriages in trying for 3rd and and after years of being a voyeur of mumsmet have decided to finally post something as I feel I need a community to continue on this journey with. Definitely feel extra anxious after losses and being a bit older too.

Congrats to those already getting positive results, and fingers crossed to those in the never-ending two week wait!

ahhhhhh!!!😭♥️
I know its SUPER early and I shouldn’t be getting my hopes up but I cant help it

Definitely positive! Amazing ✨️

AlbatrossSociety · 04/03/2025 11:13

Eeeee congratulations!! I agree with @BerrieSweet, you have more chance of it working out than not working out and in my opinion you won't save yourself any pain by worrying in advance!

I soooooo hope I can join you on a pregnancy thread in a few weeks 😭

@Jelliebean9 WHY are PMS symptoms the same as early pregnancy symptoms 😠 it's so annoying. I am desperately trying not to start symptom spotting, I'm only 4DPO

Ahhhh just came to check to see if youd updated this morning!!! That is a proper BFP yay!!

DaringlyDizzy · 04/03/2025 08:08

Hello all!! So i logged off this thread for a while. My cycle was randomly 40 days plus last month and it really affected my MH. Years of TTC now. Multiple losses. I wanted a 2-3 year age gap and my DS is now 6. Plus a host of other issues, ED etc.

BUT here we are, ovulating and managed to DTD last night so knuckling down and hoping the next two weeks breeze by

We are away for 3 nights this weekend and work is hectic when I am back o hopefully that keeps me distracted!!!

Anyone else on here fasting for Ramadan?

jelliebean9 · 04/03/2025 08:07

I'm reminding myself in here that I've ovulated, definitely not tried this month, no chance of pregnancy. And I feel crap. Hormones all over the place, feel sick and bloated and crampy already. Just posting this here so that when we try at the end of the month, that I can see I do legit feel crap at this time when I'm not pregnant 😂 cos I will most likely try and convince myself all these symptoms are pregnancy 😂

BerrieSweet · 04/03/2025 07:34

Light spotting at 6 DPO yesterday and mild cramps, both disappeared today. Still high temp so my progesterone hasn't decreased which is a good sign right? Can these days go any faster because I've convinced myself and my DP I'm pregnant hahah 🥲🙏🏼

Sounds super promising 🙏
