@Taysonic yes a private one, I dont think I could bring myself to wait until 12 weeks. Not feeling too bad, pretty tired and so so hungry!

Hope AF hurries up for you x

ttcnumerodos · 30/01/2026 14:20

Tentative congrats @lepoissonM - everything crossed for you 🥰

@ChaE05 I have had flashes of sore boobs and some pink spotting yesterday. Just feel slightly ‘off’ generally but equally it’s been a very long week at work so I was half expecting to come down with some winter bug or other…

Allmywishcometrue · 30/01/2026 13:21

@ChaE05 it is my first cycle trying and so far I have not have any side effects, I hope it is still working.

Finger crossed this time was the right one for you 🤞

ChaE05 · 30/01/2026 12:47

@Allmywishcometruehow have you found letrozole? Is this your first cycle? Im 6dpo after my first round of superovulation. Letrozole with trigger shot and timed intercourse. I had 4 dominant follices. However one follicle was measuring alot further ahead and I got my LH surge 3 days before they wanted me to trigger! So when I felt I was ovulating that largest follicle I took the trigger shot. Which was 2 days earlier than they advised but it would have been pointless doing it when they said as my body already naturally ovulated! If not successful hope this doesnt happen again next cycle! X

Allmywishcometrue · 30/01/2026 12:27

@lepoissonM congrats! So happy to see another positive test

@Taysonic have all the pity parties you need. Ttc sucks sometimes. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I am on CD6, I have been taking Noretristerone to start my period then letrozole to ovulate. I have my first follicle tracking scan on Monday. Hopefully there are nott 3 follicles as this IUI cycle would then be cancelled (Letrozole can make you hyperovulate). 2 follicles would be amazing, 1 would be great.

I am also in the process to move house after less than a year since I move in and working about 45 hours a week. I feel like I am on autopilot, going through the motions but not expecting a result.

ChaE05 · 30/01/2026 11:38

@Taysonicsorry you think AF on its way. And honestly the hormones are just the worst aren't they. As if we dont feel shit enough as it is! We have to deal with them making us miserable xx

ChaE05 · 30/01/2026 11:37

@lepoissonMamazing! Congratulations 😍 have you had any symptoms at all? Or was it a complete shock? X

lepoissonM · 30/01/2026 11:03

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. Let’s see how we go over the next couple of days!

lepoissonM · 30/01/2026 11:03

Sorry @Blondepeach it’s my first test today so nothing to compare it to. I said I would start to test from tomorrow…!

Blondepeach · 30/01/2026 10:39

Taysonic · 30/01/2026 09:17

@lepoissonM Congratulations darling! That looks like a great line, keeping everything crossed for you.

Fingers crossed for you too @Blondepeach - I know it's hard, but there's still lots of hope for you. Implantation may not have even happened yet. Stay positive.

Lovely to hear from you @LuckyDuck93 !@LuckyDuck93 ! Lovely that you've got an early scan booked - is that privately? You will feel so much more reassured after that, I am sure. How are you feeling?

@Taysonic Thank you 💘 how’s are you feeling? Did AF arrive?

@Taysonic girl you are more than entitled to a pity party! Sending you lots of love ❤

@lepoissonM tentative congratulations!

Hope you ladies are all doing ok, i'm trying to take it one day at a time, got an early scan booked in a few weeks and honestly they're the longest weeks of my life x

Blondepeach · 30/01/2026 08:18

lepoissonM · 30/01/2026 07:53

Faint line at 10DPO. Not getting excited yet!

Omg! Congratulations xx

ive just tested at 7dpo (I know very early) and was very negative, have you tested before today at all? Sorry, looking for some hope 🥲

lepoissonM · 30/01/2026 07:53

Faint line at 10DPO. Not getting excited yet!

I think my first AF since recent MC is on it's way... I've been a hormonal mess all week, and have some tinged discharge. Kind of just want it to make it's appearance now and be done with it and get ready for this next cycle where we'll properly start trying again.

I really hate hormones. I've been grouchy. Sad. Irritable. A wise ass making shitty little remarks all week. I just want to feel like myself again. And I wish this journey hadn't been so filled with grief.

And here ends my pity party...!

Blondepeach · 28/01/2026 16:33

Hi ladies,

been following silently for the last week, sorry to those who had AF arrive 🌸

I am 5DPO today, I’m pleased as I’ve had a more normal ovulation this months on day 15, rather than day 20+ with my last few cycles. My only change (and aware it could just be coincidental) is that I haven’t been drinking since end of December and I’ve religiously taken my Myo-Inositol powder everyday since end of Dec. Holding off on testing until Friday when I’ll be 7dpo as I got prescribed progesterone to take as soon as I find out I’m pregnant - I’d prefer not to test so early but would need to catch the pregnancy early.

I also have a pelvic untrasound booked for 12th Feb regards my recurrent miscarriage referral. Let’s hope I don’t need it!!

Hoping this is our month for all of us 🤞🏼

Janey3090 · 28/01/2026 16:02

11DPO, no symptoms and negative test.. safe to say I can rule myself out again for this cycle! x

ChaE05 · 27/01/2026 13:16

@Fullofconfusioni can only imagine the anxiety you're feeling! But I really hope you can try and enjoy moments of your pregnancy. Much easier said than done, but worrying won't change the outcome. Try and tell yourself...today I am pregnant 🥰 keeping everything crossed this is IT! No reason why it wouldn't be xx

lepoissonM · 26/01/2026 20:40

I am 6DPO and the symptom spotting is kicking in… it doesn’t even seem to matter that work is super busy.

daisy2025 · 26/01/2026 19:56

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing ok!

I’m currently on CD15 and ovulated yesterday which was a huge shock. I got a high LH on Friday evening and then an even higher one Saturday morning. This is the earliest I’ve ever ovulated (took new supplements such as ALA, NAC and choline) and me and DH were not prepared so have only managed to dtd twice where it will actually count.. might give tomorrow a go as well 🤣

I was going to order a fertilily cup to try this cycle but ran out of time! Probably not a bad thing as some of the reviews had me scared haha

Sounds like there’s a few of us on progesterone this cycle, fingers crossed this will be the month for us all🤞🏼

Fullofconfusion · 26/01/2026 18:41

@ChaE05I can totally understand how testing can be triggering. I tried to hold off as long as possible as hated seeing blank tests.

Well I’m nearly 6 wks pregnant according to my calculations. I’m going to book an early test for reassurance next week when I’ll be 7+3. Currently feeling incredibly anxious but I can’t see that changing any time soon. Maybe once I’m past 20 weeks 🙈
