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…

Hi ladies, hope you dont mind me joining, cycle 6, 7 dpo today. Wonderful previous history of an MMC found at 12 week scan, a chemical 5 months after the surgery to deal with MMC, followed up with another chemical 3 months later.
Now on prednisone from ovulation and this is my third month on that. I stood it if I get a negative test. I am just praying I am not having to be on and off the steroids for months in end and that if and when I di get another positive they work and I dont have another loss.

Good luck everyone x

Hi everyone! Joining for may! Hoping it’s the month for everyone 🤞 I’m TTC number three though I’m still breastfeeding my second who’s 20months, and feeds CONSTANTLY! So I’m in the same boat as a few others I’ve seen here who are also breastfeeding. My cycles are all over the place so I’m going to start properly tracking this month. I successfully got pregnant while still breastfeeding my first at 13 months. Good luck everyone ❤️

I’ve not even given it 1 day 🤣 I’m already convinced my nipples are hurting more than normal and of course, it’s 1dpo so that’s basically impossible 🤣

I feel very tired this morning so obviously I must be pregnant. Duh.

Another stupid question from me….when would be the earliest you would test - as in how many days post ovulation

With my son i was what I thought was 7dpo when I got a line that was only barely visible when I dug it out of the bin after an hour to have another look! By the next day it was much more visible. Looking back i think I was off with my dates by a couple of days as I don't think it's possible for a positive at 7dpo. Last month with my chemical I didn't get a positive until 11dpo after testing completely negative every day from 8dpo onwards, although obviously that didn't have a happy ending. I think test from 8dpo onwards if you want to test early, but don't count yourself out until AF arrives.

For me with my first I found out at 9dpo. So I've been doing it around then hoping to catch it early again lol.
And with the others same at like 3 dpo I'm convinced boobs are sore 😅
After my ectopic I wanna see line progression getting strong because it was weak with that and not professing quickly. X

FigPig · 26/04/2025 18:59

I’m 1dpo today after ovulation was slightly delayed. I give it, ooo, say 4 days before I start inventing symptoms.

fingers crossed for lots of positives for everyone here soon!

Hey everyone, I'm new here! I am just starting my TTC journey, me and my husband will be starting to try in May for my first baby (he is already a dad to my lovely step child) I'm 37 so this is a slight worry, however my mum had a baby in her late 30s, so I am hopeful ✨ glad to have found this community! I have been tracking on Flo for a while now, aiming to dtd every day around prediced ovulation, hope we can manage it 😆

It varies from person to person but I usually try a cheapie at 8dpo. I think the stats say that there’s something like a 20% chance of catching a positive then, which goes up to 50 at 9dpo and 65 at 10dpo. Obviously that way you might catch a chemical pregnancy but I personally don’t have the self control to wait for longer!

SureLook · 26/04/2025 17:56

@Mickey1995 I agree with the others. I think the test is a bit flooded x

peanutForever · 26/04/2025 16:37

@Mickey1995i agree looks likenit got wet in top then bled over, it could be a faint line but ar 9dpo im really not sure...wait and test again, fingers crossed for you

Hi everyone, I’m 9dpo today and took a test this morning and it was bfn. Just taken one now and this is the result, do you think it’s an evap or indent? Or just line eyes. At work so can’t take another until tonight! Feel light headed and a little queezy today but don’t know if I’m thinking into it too much x

Looks more like the urine washed that part. Plus I'm not really seeing the color. The best thing is to wait until you take another test and watch out for the max line

Does anyone else get bad headaches and feel dizzy around ovulation?? I've just gone into my fertile window and had awful headaches last 2 days and keep randomly feeling a bit faint? Not sure if it's wonderful hormones 😅

I get headaches and nausea around ovulation and my period too. It's horrible x

I get horrendous hormonal migraines and they can come around ovulation or just before my period. Definitely whenever my hormones spike! My first pregnancy they were awful too!

Honestly, soon as I felt it wanting to come out I nearly celebrated. Was so happy to actually go to the toilet🤣

Oh my goodness when I was pregnant with my son the constipation was horrendous! I had to have a glass of prune juice every morning (literally had to hold my nose to drink it then down a pint of water to stop it making me throw up) then a shot of lactulose every night. The glamour of pregnancy!!
