I had a bit of stop starting with CM and didn't ovulate till CD19 this cycle so definitely empathise with those of you going through that now. Last cycle I ovulated CD 12 so it was a massive change!!

I'm now 7DPO and my BBT dropped this morning, but AF isn't due for another week, I just have no idea what's going on 🫠. My RHR is also really high. I was really going to try not to stress over symptoms this month but that has gone out the window this morning

@Muddysocks1maybe the baby aspirin did its magic? As it helps with extra blood flow etc! Defo dont cancel the appt and fingers crossed its a sticky bean

Yes I’m thinking maybe it did! Also stopped drinking alcohol as read it does reduce chances if you drink in luteal phase so maybe that too ☺️

My ovulation strip was still negative this morning 🙄

From speaking to people it can take a while for your cycle to get back to normal. Try not to worry too much although I know how hard that is as I’m cd12 and in the same boat just keep telling myself I’ve had peaks that have come from no where so I’m trying to relax about it.

Butterflygirl23 · 07/04/2025 10:04

@2Sugars2yeah that’s how I’ve been, i thought I was getting CM the last few days too but it’s hardly there not compared to usual, I’ve had some this morning! Yeah twice a day, Do you test twice a day?but I’ve only been logging my morning test on the Premom app because there’s literally no difference between the morning and the afternoon one lol. When I conceived in December my strip was so light CD17 then following morning it was positive so I know it can rise so quick

It’s not the best is it. I thought I’d of got my peak by now because before my miscarriages i ovulated the same time every month around CD13/14 and always got EWCM. My premom app is saying Thursday CD19 but that’s only because I think i ovulated CD19 last month few weeks after my miscarriage so maybe it could be right who knows lol have you had any CM yet?

ahh I'm sorry to hear of your miscarriage.
Hmm I thought I was starting with CM last week but it was minimal, not the usual, and my LH only went up slightly and then since then... nothing. low LH and no CM. I am fairly new to tracking ovulation though, so I don't know if it's 'normal' for the dates to vary so much month to month? Are you tracking twice a day?

@Muddysocks1 ah that's fantastic. I would definitely keep the appointment anyway. Always good to link in with your GP x

Congratulations @Muddysocks1 what brilliant news. How long have you been trying for? Will this be your first? Sorry if you've already said!

Edited

Just over a year and it’ll be my first. Never had a Bfp before so it feels surreal!

Muddysocks1 · 07/04/2025 09:14

DH also shocked and very happy!

I’m still not convinced it’ll stick (had a thin lining and v light periods) so being a bit tentative, but just trying to enjoy the fact that right not I am pregnant!

I’ve got a GP appt booked to discuss fertility investigations when I’ll be 4 weeks 5 days… I won’t cancel it just yet. Not sure whether I should go anyway but don’t want to waste an appt that someone else could have

Amazing 😍😍😍😍 so happy for you!!

peanutForever · 07/04/2025 08:50

Yayyayay @Muddysocks1many congratulations nothing quite like seeing the words pregnant! , how did DH react?

houwseevryweekend · 07/04/2025 08:18

@Muddysocks1 Congratulations! Wish you a happy, healthy pregnancy.

I had my peak yesterday evening so should ovulate today. Back to the TWW tomorrow! I won't test till 10DPO with a Boots Early as doing it sooner previously has left me grumpy/despondent for more days. When I did have a BFP the first time it was at 10DPO but I had a BFN at 9DPO. We are off on holiday the day after AF is due so at least a nice distraction.

Morning Ladies 👋🏼 hope you don’t mind
me joining. CD 4 today ✨

@DownWithCremeEggs I see it!! 🤞

DownWithCremeEggs · 06/04/2025 17:47

Hi all. We've been TTC #3 since January. According to my period tracker I'm only 7DPO so still way way too early in theory, but I took a FRER test today and I swear I see a second line?? With my first two I got a BFP at 9DPO so it's not unusual for me get positives early, but this seems way too early!

I can definitely see it! Especially if you’ve been an early liner in previous pregnancies! Very exciting 🙏

Roxanna2000 · 06/04/2025 19:19

@BlondeMummyto1 CD1 for me too. On to the next cycle. 🙃

@DownWithCremeEggsthat’s a positive!

F1boxbox · 06/04/2025 19:18

Muddysocks1 · 06/04/2025 19:00

I’m 11dpo today. Although did a quick test before leaving the house earlier and it looked fainter so think I might leave testing again until tomorrow, so as not to get worried/confused, hopefully give it a bit more time to increase!

They normally say first pee of the day is best so just test again in the morning x
