I don't think I have everyone tagged so please pop yourselves in xx

Welcome new ladies. So sorry for your losses. X

@HappyVibes a transvaginal scan won't cause any harm! In fact most times that's the preferred option to monitor pregnancy very early on 😊

Thank you so much for your support! I really hope this is it! It would be so nice if it's real, as this is my last chance to conceive before my due date (would have been in October).

@RichmondLady1981 oh really? That’s interesting as the highest my levels were on those green cheapies was CD20 at only 0.52 but I had a CBD peak only a few hours before. It may just be that they aren’t strong enough at all. Hopefully it is just that then and I will get some Premom ones in for my next cycle (hopefully I won’t need to🤞🏻). I actually did take photos of my CBD ones and put them on my Premom app and I’m glad I did so I can compare.

Judging from the pics attached, would you say I hit my peak yesterday (CD20)? Xx

@HappyVibes I’m 6+4 and had 2 TV scans so far, due to have another next week and asked today if it’s a risk and was advised no.. if that helps out your mind at rest xx

@MinnieMouse4
CD 20 definitely look the darkest out of all of them to me. I would say so if CBD found a peak yes. 👍

What CD did you test positive last cycle? Or what CD do you usually ovulate?

@MinnieMouse4 reading into the CB tests that you’ve done, they seem to work similar to OPKs in that they detect LH surge.

So with it detecting LH surge only & you getting your smiley yesterday, this would suggest ovulation happened within the 36hours after the smiley. So may only technically happened this evening. Then once you’ve ovulated, you can still be fertile for the next 12-24 hours. So I would still DTD tonight & tomorrow as planned so you’re definitely covered from your results from CB already.

Personally, I would continue with OPKs for a few days just for added reassurance. They’re only cheap & there’s nothing to loose, but reassurance is a lot to gain in this game ha.

Thanks ladies, I will keep it booked in after your extra reassurance. I really appreciate that, thank you xxx

Hi girls hope you are all ok. Nice to see so many bfps! I’ve been dipping in and out of this thread since my loss in March just thought I’d update you all.
Still no bfp for me I’m afraid and this means no bfp before my due date which is getting to me this month.
I’ve been having lots of spotting before period every single month. It always happens 4-6 days before the proper period starts. Everything I read online tells me this is abnormal. Also having shorter cycles, around 26 days. Ovulation tests confirm I ovulate around day 13. So feel like I’m not in with a chance, spotting 7-9 days after ovulation every single month. It’s never implantation bleeding! Really am getting fed up now!
I went to the doctor and had progesterone test which came back as normal, which surprisingly irritated me because now I don’t know what the problem is. My smear test also came back fine. The doctor didn’t want to persue any further but I insisted I wasn’t happy so I’m booked in for a routine uterus scan. But I’m really not holding onto much hope!
I do keep coming and going on here it’s just hard for me to keep messaging all the time, I’m trying to take my mind off this where I can and try not to obsess too much, and channel my energy on other things, but it’s hard!
Wishing baby dust to you all as always xxx

Thanks ladies @HappyVibes @RichmondLady1981 I haven’t really tracked before but I know I ovulated around CD20 on the cycle I conceived my MC. I will keep using the cheapies for the time being and stock up on the Premom ones and the other CBD ones for my next cycle. Deffo going to dtd again tonight and tomorrow to play it safe. Then it’s the TWW 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

@AutumnDays90 so did t take my progesterone tonight. Not sure why but I’m too scared to take it. Re read your messages and I think you started at 3dpo. I’m 1dpo today so I think I will start taking them tmr. How’s your line looking hun? You must be 12dpo now? Xx

@HappyVibes just read your msg. I’d still go for your scan. I’ve been having TV scams since I was 16 so I’m always baffled why it’s a huge thing here. Doubt that could do anything to your pregnancy but perhaps just let the doctor know where you are in your cycle as I find here they’re often very ‘brutal’ xxx

@Rainbowhope11 yay! I can def see lines!!! Here’s to a healthy pregnancy xx

@Mommybear05 hey! I joined on the March boards too! I feel your pain! I just had progesterone bloods done today - but I also have cd2-5 blood tests booked in as apparently that is part of the routine bloods - did they offer you those? If not maybe give them a call? I’m similar to you, I ovulate cd14, my cycles have been 26days post-mc too, with 3-4days of spotting that I never used to have (although this last cycle did go to 29days and I had no spotting, which gave me the craziest false hope!) I have also found my af is shorter in days too - it’s so sucky isn’t it (putting it politely) I feel like I do everything right each month and it still doesn’t happen!

@Firevie totally a Freudian slip! You wait and see.... 💫

Morning all

Congrats @MrsK21, wishing you lots of luck.

This Friday I have my 21 day bloods following last cycle being a 40 day cycle and the one before I’m convinced was anovulatory. Over a week ago I was showing the natural signs of ovulation coming but never got a smiley face (I use the pink CBD) and nothing since. The lines on the opks are lighter now then a week ago. So feel like I either missed picking it up or it hasn’t happened yet/at all. Looking forward to my bloods for reassurance or answers. I’m reading this thread every couple of days to see how everyone is doing and keeping fingers crossed for more BFP news this month for people x

Omgoodness.so much good news on here. Congrats to you all. I am glad I came on here today. Its giving me positive energy

@runnergirl1 how are you? I'm at day 43, 11 days late. And nothing. Absolutely nothing still. Having a blood test today for beta hcg, LH, FSH, Oestradiol, SHBG and testosterone

So hoping there's some answers to follow.

The tiredness is increasing and having headaches too. But nothing else to indicate if AF is coming or anything else.

@Furbsies hi my lovely. Glad they have managed to get you in for blood tests. Cd1 for me. Was spotting brown for 4days and eventually came on today so a 41 day cycle. I’m hoping it’s just down to mmc and we get abit more ‘normal’. Just going to DTD every other day from day 10 until we can’t go no more haha. Fed up was an understatement. Let’s us know how you get on x

Hello and welcome @Sadie406 @2alreadywantanother @nottoosurewhattoput Hope you will find the support, knowledge and laughs here that I have.

Currently nothing to report as in the Boring Phase - fertile window coming up next week. We thought we might have to isolate away from each other, but that's turned out not to be the case, so bring on the baby dancing next week! 😛

@MrsK21 congratulations 🎉🎉🎉 so happy for you xxx

@Mommybear05 @Bellabubble I'm in the spotting and short cycle club too! This month was the worst because I think I ovulated on CD17 and then was spotting by CD23 and then had a very heavy brief bleed on what would have been CD26, but only spotting since. Waiting to see if that was the main event or more to come. I never really know which day to count at CD1 now due to the weird spotting. I had CD3 tests (maybe on the wrong day given cycle confusion) which came back fine. The only thing I have to go on is I have a fibroid according to my scan - but it's less than 1cm so not sure if it can be causing the chaos or what that means.
I have a referral and seeing someone in October so hoping they'll do progesterone and some more tests. I'll keep you posted if I find anything out that may be helpful. I don't know about you, but I have googled waaaay to much and freaked myself out. I half wondered if swapping to Pregnacare and adding some B vitamins this month made it all worse, but not sure - are you taking anything other than folic acid?

@susiebluebell

Hi- just read your message. Glad I have a buddy in this truly boring stage. At least during AF we don’t have to POAS and we get a break from that.

I’m CD12 and enter into FW approx Sunday/Monday. Due to ovulate Tuesday/Wed. What about you? When is AF due for you? Long way to go for me I’m not due until 21 October. At least it will be half term for me by then and I can relax a little. Sending copious amounts of dust your way! 💫💫

Quick question to all. Can you have too many B vitamins? What are you guys taking?

@RichmondLady1981 I was wondering that - I took -B6 50mg + pregnacare this month and it was/is my weirdest cycle to date - not in a good way! I started both this cycle for the first time so I’m not sure which was the problem. Lots of people seem to take high doses without any problems though? I’m cutting it out this cycle just in case as I’m not sure I even ovulated!

Who stopped the world and stopped time from moving?

HOW am I still only 5DPO? 🤣

Someone spice things up re who is testing soon etc etc 💓💓💓

Hey ladies! Just had my second beta done today and not good news. My levels have dropped to 16 😩 so I guess I wait for AF and move on to my next round of Clomid! Hopefully I'll have better luck next time! Really confusing though because my tests still look darker today than they were on the day that I had my first blood test. Oh well! I'm feeling okay though, just kind of annoyed that I'm still getting positives.
