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…

@YKM2829 so sorry it's still negative. May I ask how long you have been ttc? I am due on Saturday but I am already getting the usual pre-period migraine so most likely I will get my AF earlier this month.

@Mickey1995 sending you big hugs ❤️‍🩹 Maybe test again tomorrow, just in case x

Well ttc since January, and had ectopic straight away, so technically starting again from February xx

Does anyone know what cough mixture helps conception? I think this is the only crazy method I haven't tried so far 🤪 I am ready to do anything lol

I had a chemical in February. I ovulated either 30th or 31st January, got my BFP on Feb 9th and the line progressed for 3 days. I started having mild cramps 14th Feb and some brown spotting, spotting continued till the next day. I woke up to pee on the morning of the 16th and saw clots and blood in very massive quantities. I was so distraught. It was my first BFP. AF came and lasted about 7 days with little spotting for a few days after. 2 days after the spotting stopped, I noticed EWCM but hubby was out of town. It regulated after that. I tracked this month's and I ovulated on CD13 which is my norm. I have a 27 days cycle. Sometimes 26 days.

Hope this helps! xx

Thank you, that’s very helpful! I had pink when I wiped this morning and now it’s a tiny bit of brown but I’m cramping. I felt quite nauseas over the weekend but that’s stopped and I have a horrible headache which I always get when I’m due on. Definitely feel like it’s a chemical just want it to be over so I can start a new cycle. Even though it’s so early it’s heartbreaking 💔. Sorry you experienced one xx

Thank you all ❤️ hoping I just start my period now. Has anyone had one before and did it affect the next cycle / ovulation? X

after my bfps since Friday, it’s still faint this morning and I’ve had some pale pink / brown spotting when wiping 😢 I did a clear blue and it says not pregnant. Think I’m having a chemical 😢 x

Sending love. I hope you get some confirmation soon either way. Not knowing what’s happening is the worst ☹️ xx

Same but not same,
2 DC from previous relationship
current partner has no children and has expressed his desire to have more, but every month I feel as though its me pushing the issue😅 I feel genuinely ashamed to tell him im ovulating😂

Totally feel you! Luckily he was keen last night and as I've still got a positive opk I've pre booked for tonight too 😂

It's when the kids are just not listening and going absolutely wild I think "what on earth are we doing?!" But then I'll sit and look at videos of when they were babies and think about a new one just slotting in to the family and it all makes sense 🙂 x

@Muddysocks1- I read a lot of the last months support group as I came here to feel less alone. It’s a lot to be going on in my (our) head(s) on top of regular life. I was sick of it going round and round.
i’m glad to get an update from you! I thought you’d been a bit quiet. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
@Katfluff21we are ttc #3 and it’s so wanted. I do wonder if we’re biting off
more than we can chew….. but there’s only one way to find out 🫠😂
ds is 6 (waiting for AuDHD diagnosis) and dd is 3.
things are chaotic and boy do I just want five minutes peace sometimes….but it’s a beautiful chaos that I wouldn’t trade for anything. Even five minutes peace. 😂

Hi all

I've just had a super strong positive ovulation test, however myself and husband have had such a stressful night with our 2 kids I'm worried he's going to be put off 😩 does anyone else TTC number 3 keep worrying if they're making the right decision? I absolutely want another baby, but husband gets so stressed with the 2 we have I feel like I want it more than him.

Any advice welcome 😭

Hi everyone,

been slightly less active my end,

got a really strong peak CD13 and ovulated CD14 like clockwork!

We BD CD12 & CD13

Im hoping this timing is good, but for now i’m pretending it hasnt happened at all so as not to test until AF is late🤞🏼
1DPO down, 13/14~ more to go🥴

SureLook · 29/04/2025 20:55

@Muddysocks1 I was only thinking of you today! That's great that your cycle regulated again so quickly.

TruthUnwinding · 29/04/2025 20:51

Is anyone on progesterone / cyclogest? I’m meant to start taking mine and I’m scared. 😂 I am usually quite nervous about taking new medicines.

MayaB · 29/04/2025 20:37

@2Sugars2 aaah Google 🤭 I am exactly the same. I really don't think there is anything wrong with you. Your body is probably still adjusting.🤗

@Muddysocks1 Of course you will get pregnant again 🥰

@SureLook thank you x My fertility crystal bracelet unsepectedly broke this evening. I've had it for ages. I think I will treat myself to a new one tomorrow.
