@2Sugars2 it's very hard not to. Who knows what I'll be like next cycle if I don't catch this month 🫠

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate what else can we do? That's just the way it is!

@SureLook I'm the same as you, can't test at work so it has to be about 5pm when I get home 🙃

I set out with the same intention of not getting consumed by it all but all rhyme and reason seems to have gone out of the window this cycle and now I've spiralled 😬

@Mushroo keep us posted!

@2Sugars2 this is my first month properly using the OPKs and I'm trying not to get too consumed. I work in a clinical setting and can't work from home so I'm kind of limited to test until when I get home.

CD 14 for me and my LH levels are still so low, barely reaching 0.20. When I started tracking with OPKs, it got a peak around CD11/12... then the second month, I couldn't find my peak, but my LH levels rose around CD 14. and now the third month, CD14 and still no sign. It's making me paranoid and I feel like I'm starting to go a bit crazy already thinking something must be wrong with me and consulting with google (terrible move!) I've already tested twice so far today and it's only 2pm....If this is anything to go by I think I am in for a long month!! Anyone else feel like they are losing the plot sometimes or is it just me.. xx

i was not actually trying and now my period is late!! I don’t really see how I can be pregnant so probably just my cycle going haywire now that I actually want it to be reliable.

My boobs do feel weird though so I’ll test at the weekend if AF doesn’t arrive!

Oh @YKM2829 can absolutely understand why you'd be feeling disheartened and frustrated, especially having conceived quickly in the past. But @SureLook put it perfectly: sometimes I think our bodies need longer to heal and recover than we realise, and as frustrating as it might be, try to see it as your body perhaps recognising that it's not been the right time yet. Although, that said... you've still got plenty of time ahead of AF being due on Friday. Try to stay positive, wait and see what happens at the end of the week (easier said than done, I know!) and maybe try and make some nice plans for the weekend either way.

Just said to have 2 full proper periods before trying and I've been doing ovulation tests to make sure that is normal and it all seems good just dunno x

@YKM2829 I'm the same with my symptoms being similar. Plus, I think we convince ourselves that everything is a symptom 🫠 I know what you mean, we were the same. First try for my DD and my MMC in January. I thought I'd catch again quickly but I'm on cycle three now. I think it takes longer for our bodies to recover than we think. Did the hospital give any advice on how long it might take?

And I really thought this month, as its the first time I've ovulate on my right side since loosing the left tube. I mean I think, I have ovulation pain each month and I remember saying oooh I haven't felt it on my right in a long while x

Friday it's due, I just don't know as my af symptoms and pregnancy symptoms seem to be exactly the same every month 🤦🏽‍♀️😅
It's just deflating. We caught on month 2 of trying with Dd and the ectopic in January was month 1 of trying for b#2.
And now if I miss this one it'll be month 4. And I know there's people who have waited 10 years. I sound selfish but I just have a feeling loosing my tube might have lessened my chances more than I thought x

@jelliebean9 sounds promising!

@FlyHighSky72 I had that with my cheap Amazon ones. They were the narrow width not the wide width which seem to be much better. I've been testing since CD3 with the easy@home and I've had a line every day.

@DownWithCremeEggs sorry to hear about your chemical ❤️

@MayaB sorry to hear you were upset this morning. Do something nice for yourself this evening ❤️

@YKM2829 when is AF due? There might still be hope!

10 dpo and its a BFN. Just gonna wait for AF now 😔

Thanks @Katfluff21you too! Going to try to do one at 10ish and then one in the afternoon - hard because I drink a lot of water (at least 2 litres a day)

Maybe! I just get the cheapies off Amazon. I actually did two this morning and my 2nd was darker. They say to test around 10am to give the LH time to get through to your urine, so maybe give that a go? Sending lots of luck for your cycle! X

Thanks @Katfluff21dont know if it’s just this brand (wondfo) but I didn’t seem to have any line yesterday

@BerrieSweet please try not to stress, lovely 🤗 You are so young and it hasn't been that long (although I totally get it, it feels like ages). I am certain you will succeed, I know it! 🥰
I understand how you feel. I am normally a very possitive and cheerful person but it's so hard to see a negative every month. I just cried to my husband in the car on my way to work this morning and now I have back to back meetings and have to pretend I am fine 😫 Not tested yet but I know I am not pregnant, I am never wrong.

Hi! My other two are 6 and almost 3. I have also had two losses (the chemical last month and a missed miscarriage before my first DC). Sending you all the luck 🥰

I remember your name from last month too! We’ve been trying loosely since January, proper getting on it last month. It’s no2 for us. How old are your older littles? My DS is 3.5, I’ve a gut feeling it’s gonna take us a while to fall this time 😩

@DownWithCremeEggssorry to hear that! Sending lots of luck for this cycle 💕

Sorry not last month, it's not May yet.. doh! I fell pregnant earlier this month and it sadly ended in a chemical pregancy I mean!

Hi everyone! Recognise some names from the April thread ☺️ been TTC #3 since January. I did fall pregnant last month but it sadly ended in a chemical pregnancy. Now on cycle day 4.

@FlyHighSky72from my experience there is always a second line on an opk but the test needs to be as dark or darker than the control (so should darken as your LH starts to rise!). This is mine from this morning and looks like Im going to ovulate in the next 24hrs

Keep testing, I usually test a couple times a day so I don't miss the peak!
