Hi everybody! I was originally active on another thread but can't keep up far too many messages [hard to get a word in] and the most people seem to be way further in their tww. As for me 32 ttc cycle #5 after chemical pregnancy in March..this will be 3rd and last baby..CD 19 today 4 DPO fingers crossed....who else is a similar dpo/point in their cycle? feel very lonely at the moment and the tww is always soo hard..😕

@Ec2808 how exciting! Have fun! 😂 I got a 0.61 on this morning’s OPK so going to try BD tonight but DP works shifts so it’s quite hard to time these things 🤦🏼‍♀️ I'm so glad it’s Friday though, this week has just dragged on!

@rainbowsnack totally get it..how long have you been ttc if you don't mind me asking?
@HansBanans oooooh most likely peak any day now exciting times xx
@Tes004 sorry I can't help with this I get really obvious peaks but do you also temp maybe? that way you could confirm ovulation?

We've just started this month, so I'm expecting it to take a while given I'm over 35 but it still sucks.

Hi ladies - hope you don’t mind me jumping in - just after some advice, if anyone uses Amazon cheapie for ovulation. I don’t think I have a normal lh baseline as never really get dark lines but read somewhere they can still show peaks with the lines getting darker. Just wondered if anyone else experiences this ? Going off ewcm I think I have just ovulated or will anytime now , with my peak being 3 rd test up from bottom , tests are now getting lighter -

Hopefully, pretty bummed out right now, though not complaining about getting some extra practice in 😂

Ec2808 · 24/07/2025 10:24

@rainbowsnack what dpo are you?🙂

10 or 11 DPO. It was a BFN so going to leave it now unless I'm late as I only have one test left XD

HansBanans · 24/07/2025 10:43

Morning everyone! My LH strip for this morning is darker, although still only 0.39, so I’m feeling slightly more optimistic that ovulation is getting closer 🥰

@rainbowsnack I noticed you said 6/7dpo a few days ago, so if you’re 10+dpo there’s a good chance first response would pick it up 🤞🏻

@BambinaBoo sorry about your bfn ☹️ still time tho 🤞🏻

6 days until my period is due. Likelihood of an accurate test with first response?

HansBanans · 23/07/2025 18:51

@Ec2808 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@JupiterDaze oh no, my wee one had HFM last year and it was horrific 😢 hope your wee one makes a quick recovery! Sorry it hear about your tests, but could just be as your are still BF 🤞🏻

I feel like I’m ready to chuck in the towel if we don’t have any luck this month as well. We haven’t even been trying that long but it’s just so disheartening. All these lectures in school that even being in the same room naked without wearing protection will get you pregnant and here we are 🤦🏼‍♀️🫠

@JupiterDazei’m cd6 so we’re on similar cycles again this month…oh wow you’re still breastfeeding ? My daughter didn’t want to anymore once she turned 7months old was soo sad for me 🤣 felt a bit rejected 🤣🤣 she’s 14months old 🥰 fingers crossed for all of us 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Ec2808 @HansBanans i also find it all too consuming sometimes. The waiting, the timing, the testing. It can be too much sometimes! I’m on CD 4 now and it feels like it’s going sooo slow

JupiterDaze · 23/07/2025 16:48

Hey ladies sorry I’ve been absent my little one has had hand foot and mouth disease the past week 😭 and this period has been horrifically heavy!

I had my FSH and LH tested on CD 2 and my FSH was 10.3, which is above the normal range and indicates a lower egg quantity/quality, which is quite upsetting considering I’m only 30 😭 but I’m still breastfeeding so I wonder if that’s the reason it’s higher than normal… I really need to wean her off she’s 15 months now but I’m struggling with it. DH and I have also agreed we’ll try again this cycle and if no success we’ll take a break until after Christmas.

Lots going on at the moment but trying to stay positive and making sure I take all my vitamins and drinking lots of water, trying to walk more and have my pomegranate juice for the next TWW 😂
