Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

Yay @FigPig@jelliebean9and @Emilym1609congrats!! Lines looking great and so exciting to see it on the digital!!

Good luck @Iris2024are those usual symptoms before AF for you? I’m 1DPO and absolutely nothing - feeling nervous and a bit weepy but pretty sure that’s just me feeling old and unlucky/unlikely to conceive

Katfluff21 · 06/05/2025 10:40

Hi ladies! Been doing some serious lurking on here 🤣 it's great to see so many positives coming through! And sorry to those who are finding it hard ❤️

I'm on cycle day 22, and managed to BD both days before ovulation and on ovulation day, and will start testing this Friday and go from there! Due on AF on the 14th.

Good luck to everyone!

@ttcjourney20001your sickness sounds so awful. I hope you get some help once you're settled back home, and things start to ease off 🤞🏼x

@Iris2024 i know amazing soo glad we have this group to communicate and make the tww a little bit more bearable 😂
I'm a little bit confused now really not sure what dpo i am..based on my temp and lh tests but noticed very white creamy cm sorry tmi 😂and very frequent urination which is very bizarr because implantation likely hasn't even occured yet...

Iris2024 · 06/05/2025 10:34

@FlyHighSky72 and @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate and @SureLook AND @Ec2808 ☺️ Well look at that, we are a cycle group. I ovulated on the weekend and AF showing as 16th but I’ve been coming on earlier lately.

@Muddysocks1 and @jelliebean9 you've made me feel so much better as we only managed 4 days before ovulation and peak this month.

I’m 3DPO today, nothing to report just sore boobs. I’m so so nervous to test when it’s time!

jelliebean9 · 06/05/2025 10:13

I’m gonna wait until Thursday 13dpo to test again to see the progression and then try and wait until Sunday 16dpo to do the clear blue ones, cos they really make me nervous after all the posts on here 😬 let’s see how my willpower holds up 😂

I’m going to do the same thing! No point testing every day now. Hopefully even stronger lines on Thursday for both of us!

I did the weeks indicator today because I am just pathologically impatient and I got 1-2. Am I right in thinking that in about a week it will hopefully go to 2-3? I’m 11dpo now :)

@Emilym1609 Your lines are great! I said to DP I feel like a scientist doing my test and he (an actual scientist) was like 🤨 OK dear.

@jelliebean9 yes, my first!

@ttcjourney20001 I think you should go to the doctor and ask for Xonvea. There’s no point feeling like this when there are drugs to help. You poor poor thing.

I think that’s right. I’m sure I read on here that 1-2 weeks means 1-2 weeks after conception? So 2 weeks would be when your period is due. So the week after that would show as 2-3? 😅 I think 🤣

Emilym1609 · 06/05/2025 08:13

Looks really great progression, hope you're feeling better today!

It is driving me crazy feeling like a mad scientist conducting bloody tests every day 🙃 I woke up at 3am for a wee (which is new for me) and did a test half asleep 😅 will add my progression pic!

How many days DPO are you, and @jelliebean9? We're all so close! I have a couple of digital week indicators arriving today. Will try and hold off til the end of the week to test with the first one.

This is amazing progress too! I’m 11dpo today. Literally same trajectory as @FigPig!! Was your 12dpo today? One day ahead! Praying for us all to have sticky ones 🙏🙏🙏

Hi everyone, evening sickness has now also turned into morning sickness, so it’s all day now. Can’t even keep water down, not hungry, thought of food makes me want to go sick, smells really trigger it too, anything like garlic or onions - not even sure this sickness is normal at this point

Def agree with others. This sounds like HG to me! If you’re back from your holiday shortly then I’d try and get into the docs asap 😔 hope you’re ok x

If you can't keep water down, it may be worth speaking to a doctor when you're home? Could be hyperemesis gravidarum.

Good morning 🙏

Forgot how difficult this process is. Will need to check in regularly just for emotional support

You’re so kind, thank you ❤️ I hope you’re feeling okay with your sickness!

I had a pretty miserable day yesterday, not going to lie, but my progression is back on track today! I’m going to hold off testing until a weeks indicator on the weekend, I think. Does anyone know the best DPO to use those to get the first result?

Hope all is well with everyone! And thanks to everyone for being so kind yesterday. It’s so great to have this little group.

I caved and tested at 11dpo and got the faintest squinter which is almost certainly an indent. Waiting when there's a glimmer of actual hope is so much worse than just not knowing I find!

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 07:33

@hopingfor4 sorry to hear that, if AF really arrives like you think i'm using the easy@home strips and I love them plus the premom app is great to track line progression I find them very easy to use you just have to make sure to take the pictures of the test in the same place with similar lighting for accurate results 😊

I found the easy@home strips and premom app quite easy to use too!

ttcjourney20001 · 06/05/2025 08:02

Went to the toilet 3 times last night, have now woken up with sore boobs, headache and of course, the top contender, nausea. I hit the 6wks mark tomorrow though. Last full day in Spain today, boyfriend and FIL are going jet skiing in Fuengirola, so I’m just trying to plan ahead and see if there’ll be any toilets on hand for me to ruin 💀

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 07:59

@Muddysocks1 I also thought it was a good surge was higher than last month...oh didn't know that was possible will def keep testing then thank you! 😊really hope it comes up...it's our anniversay on the 13th which would make me +/- 10 dpo if I did ovulate and thought it would be such a lovely surprise 😊

Ec2808 · 06/05/2025 07:43

@Muddysocks1thanks for replying. 🥰 it’s my first month tracking bbt here’s my chart from this morning..i’ve been tracking LH and got a clear surge and was cramping for two days that’s why I think i did ovulate but now i’m not sure 😭

Oh that’s odd, yes that’s a good surge! Maybe keep temping, see if it comes up. Sometimes we get a surge but don’t ovulate and get a second surge, so maybe keep an eye on the OPKs too? Hopefully it’ll come up 🤞🏻

This is fab progression! So great to see. Congrats lovely. I’m also wondering about the weeks indicator. I tested again this morning and I’ve got a slightly darker line. So I’m also gonna hold off now for my CB digi. We’re the same DPO, im intrigued on when you’re gonna do it. Funny how we’ve both shown on the same DPO. I can’t remember if this is your first figpig?

Hi everybody hope you all are doing well? 😊
2 or 3 dpo today but my bbt doesn't seem to be rising above what it was in my follicular phase anybody have experience with this? based on other charts i thought i would see a big temp difference by now...
@FigPig congratulations 😍

Hmm, long time bbt tracker here - sounds like maybe you didn’t ovulate it temp hasn’t risen yet? Can you share your chart? What makes you think you ovulated - OPKs or other signs?

I'm using proov, my acupuncturist recommended it so I didn't even think to look up reviews!

Ooh ok let us know how it goes! I am v tempted to try it. But when I searched online there’s loads of people on Reddit being critical. I think doing it alongside someone like you’re acupuncturist probably helps ☺️
