Anyone else out for April, and starting to plan for May?! We're trying for #2 :)

PurpleOrchids12345 · 22/05/2025 15:09

@Flowersflowers121 you have great willpower! I was really cold with a headaches and went to bed early last night too. Lots of bugs going around! Let us know how your yes tomorrow goes :)

daisy2025 · 22/05/2025 13:45

@NavigatingLife usually get my peak on CD18 but last month it was CD19!
It’s hard to not overanalyse everything isn’t it 😅 Have you got tests at home?

@Flowersflowers121 will do 🙂 how are you feeling?

@A2025 fingers crossed! We are DTD every other day anyway 😅 Good luck to you for this cycle!

A2025 · 22/05/2025 12:59

@PurpleOrchids12345 Yes, today is ovulation day! What stage of your cycle are you at now? It’ll be a long two weeks! Not expecting anything as it’s just our first cycle though.

@daisy2025 You might be surprised… I thought mine was going to be late and even the app thought so too, but my levels took a jump overnight!

@SY2007 awwh nevermind! That holiday sounds amazing though - thoroughly jealous haha enjoy yourself!!

@PurpleOrchids12345 helloooo :) I'm 9dpo today but am waiting to test until tomorrow. Have been feeling unwell. Last night had proper achey flu like symptoms all over but with massive period like cramps for hours. Went to bed at 8:30 hahaha still feeling bloated and a bit strange but not crampy anymore

@daisy2025 oooh keep us posted if you notice a peak :)

@NavigatingLife let us know when you decide to test haha it's always a battle between not wanting to be disappointed but needing to know isn't it hahaha

@daisy2025when do you normally ovulate? Hopefully it will come quickly for you!

I'm 7(ish?) DPO.. symptom spotting like crazy of course. Really quite dizzy and getting shortness of breath just sitting at my desk at work - which could be work stress or else the more I think about my breath the worse it gets! Definitely feel more tired than usual the last few days... but equally had a busy week. Don't know how long to hold out on testing!

daisy2025 · 22/05/2025 10:14

I’m CD15 today but lh strips are still low.. I’ve had 2 sessions of acupuncture the last 2 weeks and really thought that would magically make me ovulate sooner this cycle 🙃😅 hoping for a shift in a day at least but we’ll see

SY2007 · 22/05/2025 09:34

@PurpleOrchids12345 yes BFN on 2 cheapies this morning so don’t think it’s our month as I’m 12DPO!

I’ve had a few cramps here & there & exhausted just how I am with PMS so faced the facts. But it’s only our first month trying and also we’re off to Portugal in a couple weeks with family which will include a lot of Vino so I’m happy to be able to participate in said Vino! 😂

PurpleOrchids12345 · 22/05/2025 09:25

@A2025 is today ovulation day?

@Flowersflowers121 how are you getting on in your cycle?

PurpleOrchids12345 · 22/05/2025 09:23

@SY2007 i can definitely see a line! Have you tested again today?

Flowersflowers121 · 21/05/2025 19:53

@BGxxx hahaha for real. I do feel really ill today so that probably explains it. It shot right up today though to 37. I think I'm giving up any hope this cycle hahaha how are you doing?

OP posts:

SY2007 · 21/05/2025 19:33

@BGxxx yeah I’ve seen very mixed reviews on them and that they also are prone to faint lines and false positives!

BGxxx · 21/05/2025 19:28

@Flowersflowers121 your bbt is being crazy this cycle, are you ill🤣

@SY2007 i think I can see it too! I found those tests really not sensitive at all

Flowersflowers121 · 21/05/2025 18:56

@SY2007 ahhh okay, well fingers crossed for you anyway!! I'm doing okay thanks. Feeling pretty under the weather today though - want to go to bed already hahaha

OP posts:

SY2007 · 21/05/2025 18:20

@Flowersflowers121 we really do! Plus I have been having cramps exactly like my usual PMS symptoms so that’s not a good sign

how are you feeling?

Flowersflowers121 · 21/05/2025 17:54

@SY2007 yeah we lose all rationale at this time of the month don't we haha just hoping and hoping. Let us know how you get on in the morning when you test again :)

OP posts:

SY2007 · 21/05/2025 17:44

@Flowersflowers121 im glad im not crazy 😂 but tbh I don’t feel any hope as it was so far out of the testing time and also the one I did an hour ago was fully negative

I remember when I thought I was pregnant with my first I saw a negative in time limit and then checked again hours later and there was a faint line and I was pregnant in the end but I think that may have been a fluke

Flowersflowers121 · 21/05/2025 17:39

@SY2007 I do actually see what you're seeing! 👀

OP posts:

SY2007 · 21/05/2025 17:24

Ladies what is your verdict. 11DPO and FMU I tested and I thought I could see the faintest line but then decided I had line eyes as in certain lights I couldn’t see it. I’ve checked the same test hours later and can see the faintest of faintest of faintest lines. Can anyone else see this or am I insane? 😂

it’s obviously way out of test time limit and also I just took another test with diluted wee and can’t see a line although I keep convincing myself there was the faintest line in the world.

If you can see the line in the pic- I’m guessing it’s probably a discard situation/ evap as the test just now was 100% negative but wanted to hear thoughts!

A2025 · 21/05/2025 17:12

How’s everyone doing? Looks like I had my peak this morning so tomorrow should be ovulation? That’s the date the app had predicted if a regular cycle. Hoping this is a sign that I’m straight back into regular cycles after some years on the pill.

Ooooh, that's good! Has come around quickly haha xxx

A2025 · 21/05/2025 17:13

@Flowersflowers121 Wishing you good luck!

Guys, what is going on with my BBT numbers :( haha not looking good for a BFP, right? I was hoping it was a dip, but seems to just be staying low now haha

OP posts:

PurpleOrchids12345 · 19/05/2025 22:41

@NavigatingLife its good that your bbt is up- fingers crossed it stays up! I’ve had very very confusing opk with different apps telling me different things- hubby wasn’t impressed by the number of times I’ve ask him to BD!

PurpleOrchids12345 · 19/05/2025 22:39

@daisy2025 ovulation day was CD12 last cycle but it has been all over the place so who knows when I will peak this cycle! This is only the second cycle where I’m keeping a track of BBT and it’s really helpful.

@A2025 im also many months in TTC and it’s been an emotional roller coaster!

sending baby dust to us all !
