Morning ladies can I join Smile

Suffered a miscarriage at the weekend when I was 7 weeks.

I'm 27 and got bfp 1st cycle ttc. That was my first pregnancy so it's tough coming to terms with what happened. Trying to stay hopeful and looking forward to starting ttc again once bleeding stops x

Hello ladies 👋🏼 I'd love to join in. Hoping this will help keep my sanity!

I'm 33 and have been TTC for 8 months since coming off pill. My periods have been all over the place, last cycle was 49 days and when AF finally came it was just basically spotting. Have gone to GP and have to get blood tests done on day 21 (in a couple of weeks) to see if I am ovulating properly.

Have just started taking Agnus Castus so hoping that will sort out my cycles!

Oh this TTC malarkey is a rollercoaster!

YouBoggleMyMind · 09/04/2019 10:04

Also will be TTC #2 next cycle. If we'd tried this cycle my due date would have been 25th Dec... Shock

DS is a December baby so keen to avoid another one too close by! I've started taking folic acid with vitamin d and evening primrose oil with vitamin e.

DS also took almost 3 years to conceive with a lot of rounds of clomid and metformin. I had no periods whatsoever so have provera to induce them. Since being pregnant my cycles seem to have returned on their own albeit not super regular, they are there which I'll take as a good thing!

YouBoggleMyMind · 09/04/2019 10:05

Oh and I'm 31! Had DS when I was 30.

queenqueenqueen · 09/04/2019 12:56

Thanks @willowjasmine , just so desperate to get my BFP 😔

BudgieBird · 09/04/2019 12:58

That's what I'm telling myself look on the bright side if I don't conceive in this cycle, which is coming to an end and will have a late December due date if we've been lucky - at least 2020 is a nice round number of a birth year! Grin

You can’t start a hashtag with a number (misses the point)

Robbo93 · 09/04/2019 17:18

CD9 for me, emotional and stroppy yesterday (poor DH!) and bad indigestion today. Grr not had these symptoms before x

SquigglyOne · 11/04/2019 08:02

CD11 and just got my peak on clear blue opk. I’ve not used these before so was surprised that I skipped the high fertility flashing smiley and went straight to peak. Anyone have any experience with these tests?

Robbo93 · 11/04/2019 08:26

@mila1988 same cycle day as me, although I'm not tracking ovulation this month.
I only had the clearblue tests that went from empty circle to static smiley so can't help you there, but my static did seem to come out the blue and wasn't there 12 hours later x

Robbo93 · 11/04/2019 08:27

Whoops sorry OP that was meant for @SquigglyOne x

RudyRoo · 11/04/2019 08:42

@SquigglyOne yeah mine did too. It went from solid smiley to flashing to circle and then back to solid over the course of 5 days! 🤷🏼‍♀️
Haven't used them again since (that was 2 months ago) but I'm going to use them again this cycle and see what happens this time!

Coastaldreamer · 11/04/2019 09:20

Hey 👋🏽 can I join this thread please x thought I'd have a Xmas baby but AF decided to show today after a long cycle of 35 days 😑 and last month was 30 days 🤷🏽‍♀️

Here's to a 2020 baby 🤞🏼 for us all x

MaryShelley1818 · 11/04/2019 09:31

Hoping for a 2020 baby here too!!
Currently have 1 DS (age 16mths) who was conceived after 5 cycles. We started trying at Christmas but then used protection for a couple of months, and then started trying again last month. I’m 41 in 3wks so feeling the pressure of my age!

Doris19 · 11/04/2019 11:11

@SquigglyOne how long had you been testing before you got the static? Sometimes if you haven't started early enough in your cycle then you don't get any high fertility days as your estrogen has already increased.

WJSCJH · 11/04/2019 12:47

Hello! I'd like to join please!

Age: 27,
TTC: second baby (DD is 2 years old)
Cycle: lost count, been trying since June last year

Started taking folic acid this cycle and have been increasing BD'ing so fingers crossed this is our month. My period is due on the 27th-April but my birthday is on the 01-May so if my period is late I would love to hold out and get a BFP on my birthday. I really don't want to get my hopes up but I do every cycle!

SquigglyOne · 11/04/2019 13:17

@Dorris19 I started testing Monday which was CD8. I’m really not sure how long my cycles are so just followed the instructions for a 28 day cycle as I’m usually pretty regular.
I was surprised to see static smiley so soon as thought it would be too early to ovulate!!

SquigglyOne · 11/04/2019 13:37

@RudyRoo I’m not convinced they’re all that reliable anyway. Just wanted to do something to feel in control lol

@Robbo93 cycle buddy!! Keeping my fingers crossed for both of us 🤞🤞🤞

RudyRoo · 11/04/2019 17:17

@SquigglyOne I know the feeling! 😂 everyone bloody loves POAS don't they?!

queenqueenqueen · 12/04/2019 17:03

CD1, weirdly 7 days late for my period - no idea why??? Very pleased to see AF for once. Wonder if this be my month??

SquigglyOne · 13/04/2019 09:15

CD13 here and 1dpo. Any advice on how to control the obsessive symptom spotting? 😂😂

LauMoore · 13/04/2019 11:35

Just found out I'm one week pregnant! Home tests are NOT CONCLUSIVE! Done about 7, 3 positive only 1 strong and 4 negative! Went to doctors they did a test and results say 1 week pregnant! I also got pregnant on my last day of the month before my period was due! What I've learnt so far is just keep trying and don't necessarily trust the pregnancy tests, speak to your Dr if you think you are!

Robbo93 · 14/04/2019 07:38

@SquigglyOne hey cycle buddy! How do you know you ovulated? I had tremendous lower back pain yesterday & what I'd call EWCM but dunno if I'm confusing it with sperm as we DTD yesterday morn (around 6:30 - noticed EWCM around 1pm)

SquigglyOne · 14/04/2019 09:05

@Robbo93 Just going by OPKs. I also had some right hand side abdominal pain - but that could have been my imagination 😂😂

SquigglyOne · 14/04/2019 09:08

The symptom spotting had started already!
Obviously it’s not possible to be having symptoms at 2dpo but keep feeling the odd twinge 🙄 it’s gonna be a long 2 weeks!!
