TTC September/October 26

I’m so sorry that you’re going through the uncertainty 🥹 I’ve read a lot of success stories where a late 1-2 weeks on clearblue still was a successful pregnancy on Reddit so as long as you’re not bleeding that’s a good sign. Also good that your lines is getting darker, and not lighter. For me it was faint lines + the 1-2 weeks on clearblue at 5 weeks that made me realize I got a chemical. My lines were so much stronger at that same DPO with my first daughter so I just knew something was off and then I started bleeding. I hope this is a successful pregnancy for you ❤️ My chemical was 2 weeks ago now so I hope ovulation is around the corner so we can start over. No blinking smiley yet :/

Hi all! Just observational comments really… but I was suspecting now is the time to try this cycle due to increased EWCM, but yesterday CD 12 the electronic reading on clear blue for ovulation was low. Today it’s flashing as high fertility. I think that’s quite telling that EWCM is still a reliable predictor. As someone who is tired and busy (aren’t we all) I have appreciated the green light for today!

those of you using ovulation predictor kits… do you test each day after high fertility shown? Or do you just know you’re good for a few days?

Yep I continue testing after high, but also start using the lh strips too twice a day to catch the peak!

I ran out again of the cb tests this cycle after only a couple of days high but caught my peak with lh strips the day after 😊

When I get the high, I start dtd every other day, definitely a useful indicator!

@Selyak i hope it’s positive for you 🤞🤞🤞 please keep me updated. Either way you sill have an answer by next week!

@Springcloud26 i feel you! I put mine on 5 mins before I get in bed and put my manky old pyjamas on after 😂 sex is officially all done for this cycle! Here’s hoping for a positive test next week 😅 going to keep myself busy with work but will inevitably be symptom spotting. My LH is lingering around the .5 mark for some reason so hoping it goes all the way down tomorrow

I was not expecting this!! We are actually away for the weekend just us and doing a walking tour and river cruise later haha. Think my sparkling wine might now be OJ 😂 I so hope this sticks

Congratulations! 🥳 What a great combo. Vacation and BFP

Thank you @Fairiebeex

Hope your LH continues to drop today!

I’m already feeling bloated, assuming from the start of the progesterone release!

Congratulations! 😊

Hi, can I join please?
Currently 9dpo.
Does anyone see anything?
I came across a thread of peope inverting their pics so I had to try lol..I understand i cant rely on them though.
Baby dust to all ❤️

Aaaaand I'm out. It's been a very awful week for us, so I've been so distracted but period due tomorrow, tested today and totally negative. I have my GP appointment on Monday to ask for Metformin 🙏🙏

Hi everyone, I’m new to forums etc but feel as though it’s the best place for advice from people who are going through it too!!

31, TTC since Feb chemical pregnancy first month and nothing since. I’ve become obsessed, all I think about and really struggling with the disappointment each month. Partner feels the pressure most months and it’s hard for me not to get upset. I’ve been advised by multiple people to relax forget about it and it’ll happen but we’ve been careful for 11 years and now that the time has come for us to try I can’t ‘forget about it’. I use OPKs every month catch my surge but still nothing. We’re in the process of moving into our first home we’ve been renovating for 2 years which has added a huge amount of stress and pressure to our lives and relationship. Hopefully moving in will help as the pressure from that will go but I just desperately need advice and tips on how to relax and change my mindset. Putting trust into the universe isn’t going to do it for me, this whole process something I can’t help want to control xx

Hi all, joining the thread although not sure if I’m best part of this one or the next one. But I’ve just started CD1 of our first month TTC baby number 2. Current little one is 13 months old but hoping for a closer age gap for multiple reasons and felt this month was right for us to start trying.

my cycles are on the shorter side and I ovulate relatively early so this period will likely only last a couple of days then I’ll start LH testing.

congrats to everyone with BFPs 🎉 I’m really losing patience this cycle 😫 CD18 and still not seeing a surge - really hoping it happens this afternoon. We’ve been DTD every day since Monday and we are starting to get worn out!

Congrats to everyone who have got a BFP! 🥰

My period started yesterday so I am out. My 17m old has decided they no longer want to breastfeed so I’m really feeling all the hormones this AF 😭

Congrats to all the new positive! :)

Cd27 no peak but got to .53 yesterday. Highest LH all month. Got thrush though so dtd is out the window.

im also having doubts if I even want to do this all again 🥲

Hi, I had a chemical last month and I always get my LH peak CD 14 but no sign yet so this is very odd to me, maybe ovulation happens later this month because of the early misscarriage. Is that normal to happen? I am scared I will not ovulate at all now.. :(

Nevermind, got my peak 1h after I wrote this hehe

How is everyone doing? Haven't been checking the thread much as I don't want to get obsessed again like last month! Luckily we have been busy this last week so I have been distracted.

I'm currently 6DPO and planning to test on Saturday morning as I am going to a cider festival...

@Selyak sorry to hear about your period but at least you know and can get on with a new cycle. Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part! Let me know if you try out OPKs this month ❤️

Better willpower than I have, I am 4dpo and plan on resting on 6dpo and inevitably get upset 😂

but in all seriousness, 8dpo is when I got a faint positive previously so Friday is the day for me!

8DPO! Do not tempt me 😂

I'm trying to be all cool and chill this month, I almost drove myself crazy last month and barely slept the night before test day.

I'm only testing Saturday this month because of the cider fest, if that wasn't a thing I was going to just not test until period was late or I felt pregnant.

Well, I'm saying all this, but in reality by the end of the week I will be going completely mad, imagining symptoms and desperate to test 😂

Oh the joys of TTC.

i completely get you! i was the same, just telling myself what will happen will happen...and then i got on amazon and got myself OPKs and now im driving myself crazy

your self-control is fab! I wouldn't be able to wait until my period. My thinking is whatever the outcome, i can't change it but would rather know earlier 😂 i absolutely cannot hold out. already got the digitals in the basket for 9dpo (saturday)

i remember when I was ttc with my first and was testing 1dpo 😂 i imagine it was because i had so many of the cheap tests but wow, i was nuts!

Hahaha! Oh god, 1DPO has just made me laugh so much 😂

I put all my info from LH strips/premom/natural cycles into ChatGPT to track everything and I find it helps to keep to sane and tells me whats happening each day (potentially) post ovulation and when its realistic to test.

I get what you mean about wanting to know earlier though, otherwise its so easy to get your hopes up.

How long have you been trying for?
