TTC September/October 26

10DPO negative this morning. I took two tests because I wasn’t happy with the first one but both came back negative

Oh I'm so sorry, shit isn't it. Wishing you all the luck for this cycle 💗

Fingers crossed you catch your peak soon! We’ll be dtd every other day from today 😊

My MMC was similar, sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole. I’m on CD 16 today! I ovulated around CD 23 last cycle.

Just seen your latest test - that’s a strong line, whoo!!

FINALLY!!!

Hey everyone. Took a bit of time off here after my chemical. Ive just had a peak opk and its lingering. Usually have one positive test and then i5 comes back down but it seems to be getting darker and darker. Now at 1.8! Ive never had a test that positive before. Anyone else experienced this? I feel like im ovulating or about to as ive also got one sided pain but I cant read my body right now.

Omg I'm doing this as well 😂 CD22 with no peak. Cramps and nausea this afternoon, brain is trying to convince me that I'm pregnant.

Great to hear! Hopefully ovulation comes quick if it’s flashing! I’m cd19. My LH has risen a tiny bit so doing a midday test and an evening test today. I’m really crampy to the point I wondered if I missed ovulation and I was pregnant/getting an early period. 😅 no mucus yet, though. I think I’ll be ovulating the next few days.

Today's tests 👀 was hoping i was gearing up for a peak but its gone down slightly this afternoon.
Still getting egg white plus nauseous and crampy.

We've been trying since November, got pregnant in the December then had a MMC in Feb at 8 weeks, it was a Blighted ovum so a sac but no baby, took 3 surgeries to remove then started to try again in April.

We have a little girl whos 2 and I'm 37 so feeling conscious of my body clock!

What CD are you?

Hi all, I’m tentatively joining after a MC in August at 7ish weeks.

I finally got a negative HCG on the 7th and a peak on LH strips on the 14th which was a lot sooner than I expected. We were advised to wait for a proper period before trying again but I just couldn't… so now in the TWW, I’m aiming to wait for a missed period before testing but I’m not sure if I’ll hold out or not! Hope things are going well for everyone else.

ooo that’s a good idea! Just wish I had a crystal ball so I knew exactly when it happens as I find the waiting tough 😂

yes I think so! One of my cycles a few years ago I had missed it - the strips were high (.72) but I never reached over 1 (I think I had tested only two times that day)

Next cycle, I tested at 2pm and it was .81, 7pm it was 1.06 and then by 9pm it had dropped again 😂 I think once I see it go to .5 I will test every few hours!

hopefully tomorrow is deffo the day for us! And then the TWW begins!

Yep I do CB in the morning and lh strips in the evening, as soon as I start to see lh go up I’ll do 2/3 times a day! It was only 0.11 before I went to bed.

Wow, that’s a quick surge, does that mean you could miss it completely if it happens in the hours while asleep? Do you get ovulation symptoms so you know if it has happened?

Woohoo!!! It could go to static fairly quickly from now! Are you using the cheapies as well?

no peak for me! The cheapies are saying .35 on the app so I’ll test a few times later to see if it rises as mine only stays positive for a few hours, if that! but really hoping for tomorrow (CD16)! Although, I never got peak on the monitor when I got pregnant with my first 😂 just 20 days of highs!

We’ve been trying for our first since Jan this year, but didn’t track properly (only relying on the apps). I used CB and LH strips for first time in May cycle and got a positive! Unfortunately it was a MMC at 9 weeks so this is my first cycle after that. It’s been frustrating as we wanted to try again straight away but has taken this long for my hcg to clear! I’m 39 so mindful of time.

I’m feeling hopeful for this cycle 😊.

How about you?

I hope so! Been going on a few days now. Yes I do the LH tests and brought the natural cycles app/band this week.

How long have you been trying for?

Sounds like you could be gearing up for it! Sorry if I missed this, do you track using Lh strips?

Ah thats brilliant! Really happy for you, fingers crossed!

CD22 and still no ovulation. Getting egg white discharge still and my temp was up a bit this morning but who knows!

Oh yes, I would have carried on testing too! I find it so interesting what the body is doing, I’m TTC for first time so never really noticed these things before, I’m learning so much. I think stress influences my cycles too.

I finally have a flashing smiley on CD 16! 🎉So at least I know I’m now entering my fertile window and will start dtd every other day.

Any signs of your peaks yet? @Vimto1991 @GreenPickle @misslomi

It was about 7 minutes after doing the test I think. I did another one last night with my partner and it was the same really faint line before 10 minutes. These are the same tests I was doing in April and there was definitely solid negatives back then when I was testing too early. I’m probably getting my hopes up for nothing but I’ve had so many of the same symptoms as last time and my little boy keeps saying there’s a baby in my belly which he also did back in April/May despite not saying anything to him about the pregnancy so I just have a gut feeling🤞🏻

12dpo and I’ve been pretty much sure I’m out this month (already had 3bfn and no symptoms other than sore boobs that I get with PMS anyway). I took a test tonight as it was the last one in the box fully expecting nothing and then ready for AF to arrive. I can’t get it on camera but I feel like there is the faintest faintest line - checked with my husband and he could see it as well. Have just had to sprint to the shop with 3 mins until it closes to get another test to do in the morning. Trying to stay calm and not get my hopes up but I’ve not had anything that remotely resembles anything other than completely negative before.

@ThereWereNoUsernamesLeft thanks! I got a slightly darker line this morning so feeling a bit reassured. I’m so nervous and anxious though as I’ve had a MC before.

yes! I kept testing because I wasn’t convinced the first time as it didn’t go over 1… have attached my tests. My period came back 2 weeks after the later positives. It stayed high for quite a while so think my body was struggling a bit! I also had a lot of stuff going on personally so I’m not sure that helped as i’ve noticed stress does affect my cycle!
