Hi all, so I’m in first week of my cycle , CD 4 to be exact, third cycle TTC #2! Anyone else similar and would like some support ? I don’t have anyone to talk about this with RL!

Same here @mamabear05 I had a second miscarriage on 23rd December and I think I had my first AF last week but not entirely sure. I’m using the OPK daily at the mo though, determined to conceive baby number 2 soon! Started off being all chilled and relaxed about it all but 12 months on and 2 miscarriages later I’m getting a bit obsessed now! Haven’t had any caffeine for months and I’m getting withdrawal symptoms haha!

Ktn35 · 18/01/2018 20:00

So umm 12dpo and all symptoms stopped. So I decided to test just to eliminate the possibility and accept BFN but this happened ... it is a line I think?! Is it to early to accept it???? Feel suddenly freaked out!

Ah ktn congrats, that’s a very clear bfp!! Try to just enjoy it, easier said than done I know but massive congratulations! Keep us all updated.

I’m CD 14 today, no sign of a positive opk yet.... have been aiming for dtd every other day but much easier said than done with a toddler and working but according to my app this is my first fertile day so will have to find the energy somewhere lol.

Ovulation is a weird thing and seems to have a mind of its own! I’ve got my fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated! I am still in denial I think ... it’s a strange feeling and I have not responded as I thought I would ... think i’ll test again on Saturday and take it from there. I am scared of a chemical again! X

justanotherday4 · 19/01/2018 08:25

I’m sure you are ktn, it must be a whole big mix of emotions for you but try to look ahead positively, there’s no reason why this won’t be a healthy pregnancy.

Ktn35 · 19/01/2018 16:51

We’ll I’ll test again and see later! Coming around to the idea now! How are you going? X

mummyjl15 · 19/01/2018 18:34

I’m on CD 9 today...negative OPK. Anyone on here that’s had a miscarriage recently? When you get the smiley face how long did you all have before it was a solid smiley?

mamabear05 · 19/01/2018 21:42

Awww @mummyjl15 I'm so sorry to hear that you've had 2! That must be awful. I'm terrified now after having 1 and wondering if it's going to happen again :( I started using opks from cd3 if I take the day I started bleeding with the miscarriage as cd1. I got an almost positive one off on cd10 then they went really pale again but then had two days of positives on cd18/cd19 meaning I probably ovulates on cd19/20. I usually ovulate on cd17 so was put back by a few days due to the miscarriage. Tests went negative again on Tuesday but then had a one off almost positive again yesterday. Negative today. Haven't a clue what's going on but I'm assuming I'm in the tww now although when I say positive my opks have only been the same colour not darker than the control line which they have been previously so whether I did or didn't ovulate it's hard to tell x

mamabear05 · 19/01/2018 21:44

Sorry I don't use the clear blue smiley ones as I'm a poas-aholic and we would need to remortgage if I didn't use internet cheapies lol x

Ktn35 · 19/01/2018 23:20

Got a second BFP today so hopefully is going to stay ... will test again on Monday. So that BFN at 9dpo, bfp faint at 12 and clear digital bfp at 13 days. Please keep me updated too! I hope it is all our month!!

mamabear05 · 20/01/2018 07:32

Congratulations @Ktn35 x

mummyjl15 · 20/01/2018 09:16

Congratulations @Ktn35 that’s amazing! :)
@mamabear05 yeah I know, it’s been a complete rollercoaster the last few months with lots of BFPs following miscarriages at 6+5 and 4+4 weeks :-(
Hoping this will be our month! CD 10 today with another negative OPK. I’ve been having twinges/pains on and off for 4 days on my lower right side so maybe a sign of ovulating soon? I hope so anyway!! Fingers crossed :) if it’s not our month I’m going to go for the cheaper OPKs next month. Clearblue is so expensive!! Spent £50 this month already!!

Celebelly · 20/01/2018 09:19

Clearblue ones are mega pricey. I use IC so I can pee on them obsessively/multiple times in a day, and then if I get a result that looks close to positive, I use a Clearblue one to verify.

Brownbear84 · 20/01/2018 19:26

It really amazes me how people say how expensive a pregnancy test it but yet are trying for a child??? Ironic!!!!

mummyjl15 · 20/01/2018 20:55

@Brownbear84 I think it’s more the multiple tests required in some cases that all adds up. I’ve spent close to £300 in the last 7 months on pregnancy tests and OPK. That’s mainly due to 2 miscarriages though as I had to keep testing regularly until I got a BFN

running3 · 20/01/2018 21:18

Hi everyone, sorry for those who have had previous losses, and fingers crossed going forward! I sadly miscarried my first pregnancy in early December, just started ttc again and now halfway through the 2ww (I think- cycle is probably not so straight forward at the moment!)
I don't think this will be the month, but it's amazing how you can start to convince yourself that maybe it will be- too much symptom spotting!! 3 nights of vivid dreams but that's about it.
All we can do is wait Arghhh!

justanotherday4 · 21/01/2018 08:31

Running the waiting is awful isn’t it. Vivid dreams and being extra thirsty were my only symptoms with my ds the whole time! Hopefully this will be your month!

mummyjl15 · 23/01/2018 07:37

I’m getting so impatient this month! I’ve been using my CB digital OPK with my first urine of the day since day 6 (I usually ovulate around day 11/12 but since I had a miscarriage I tested earlier as my cycle is all over the place). I’m on day 12 today and it’s still negative! There’s a very very faint second line starting to appear but I’m obviously going to ovulate late this cycle. We’ve been DTD every other day just in case.
I suppose it will mean my 2ww is more like a 1ww though haha! Anyone else had any positives?

justanotherday4 · 23/01/2018 08:24

@mummyjl15 I am feeling impatient this month as well... I only just got a positive opk yesterday on CD 18. I've decided I'm not going to do opks again because I've become so obsessive! If we don't get a BFP this month then will be stopping with ttc for a while because the dates just wouldn't be right but I'm ok with that if it's the case. I don't think you can go wrong with DTD every other day. Hard work though lol. Fingers crossed!

OP posts:
mummyjl15 · 23/01/2018 11:58

@justanotherday4 I know what you mean! I’m completely obsessed with it now. This is the first month I’ve used them and if I don’t get a BFP this month I won’t bother with OPK next month and just go with the flow. Here’s hoping for positives all round this month!

running3 · 27/01/2018 08:04

How's everyone getting on? I've just had a bfp! Exciting but at the same time it's hard to be excited because of my previous mc. Will believe it if and when I see a baby!! Fingers crossed for all those waiting the 2ww x

mummyjl15 · 27/01/2018 08:16

Congratulations on your BFP @running3 !
I’m on cycle day 17 today and STILL getting negative OPK. So frustrating! Showing symptoms of ovulating soon and we’ve been DTD every couple of days but it seems awfully late to ovulate after 17 days? Hopefully tomorrow I’ll see that flashing smiley!

SophieStripe · 27/01/2018 10:00

Hoping this is my month too! First AF, flow, length timing etc that has felt normal since MC in Nov. Waiting for Ov now...I'm on CD11 and predicted to come anytime from tomorrow to CD18! I'm taking preg test on Valentine's Day. Really want to give my husband a nice gift! (Hmmm a nice gift of a stick I've peed on Grin)

running3 · 28/01/2018 10:36

Good luck both of you!
I think I had a month where I ovulated really late mummyjl15 so fingers crossed you've got a smiley face soon.
Love the Valentines Day idea SophieStripe!!

mummyjl15 · 28/01/2018 10:55

Haha! Love your Valentine’s idea @SophieStripe
Another negative OPK today (day 18). Lots of cm though so it’s got to be any day now... fingers crossed!!
