Welcome all, current and new ladies TTC!
Let's keep each other positive on our journey to our BFP's! 🤗

Hey everyone! My beautiful son was born sleeping at 32 weeks in June due to Pataus. He was my first and I'm trying to conceive again now! Anyone any experience with conceive plus? I've got the vitamins and the lubricant and I'm using natural cycles. I feel like an absolute fertility psycho atm lol I'm obsessed

Hi everyone! TTC baby #1. Having a hard time staying positive. I came off the mini pill august 26th and had a withdrawal bleed September 22nd. I've been using OPKs since then and no positives. I'm getting so impatient with my body and don't understand why I'm not ovulating yet, it's CD19 today

Could it be your body taking a little while to get back to normal after the mini pull? I have been using OPKs since August and only this month did I get a positive. Your surge can be easily missed. I like natural cycles as if you set it to trying for a pregnancy mode, it advises you when to take LH tests based on where you are in your cycle. Stay positive even though it can be tough. You will get there.

Hi everyone! First time ever on Mumsnet thanks to these amazing forums with such lovely, helpful ladies!

I've had PCOS for years now but wasn't worried about it until I started thinking about conceiving. That said, it was always at the back of my mind and something I was aware of.

Frustratingly enough, my husband went for a sperm test and although he had a very high sperm count and mobility, the results indicated high antisperm antibodies.

Has anyone's partners had this?? Just another thing to worry about 🤦‍♀️

Hes been an absolute wreck and has actually taken days off work because he's so worried. I think it's also because men don't speak so openly about these kind of things like we thankfully do!

Sorry I know the above isn't strictly PCOS related.

Also another question and apologies in advance if I seem silly I'm just so new to this! - is it possible to have periods but not ovulate? I've done a few ovulation tests but the second line is never the same / darker than the control line, despite being taken on ovulation days.

Or could it be perhaps because I had drunk water recently?

How do I know if I even have any eggs 🤦‍♀️

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Good morning girls some more testing this morning just to see if line getting darker :)I can't believe my self to be honest, very very happy 😊

Sending all of you positive thoughts :)

@Hannahusky I'm so sorry to read this, my heart just sank ❤ i can't begin to imagine what you've been through. I use conceive plus, not had any success yet. I prefer it to preseed though, that absolutely stinks lol.

@melyna86 congratulations 💐

@dansy have you tried using a BBT chart? Aswell as OPKS this clearly shows if you've ovulated

Thank you @ka
Fingers crossed it works for us both!

Hi all new on here. I have been trying since January and had three early miscarriages. Af today and I feel really down and upset. I'm really short with everyone. Needed to vent. I really felt this month was the one. 😥

Morning ladies,
Its my first month ttc and have come off the pill, I've decided to do OPKs everyday as I have no idea what my cycle will be like. Whenever I see OPK results online the test line is faint to indicate a negative but im not getting a test line at all is that normal for a negative result?

Currently on my 6 cycle TTC and 4dpo fingers crossed!!

Hi everyone! Just took an OPK test this morning and it's the darkest like I've seen since I've started testing. Is this a positive test or on its way to being positive?

You can scan in this pic onto the pre mom app and it tells you exactly whether or not you're ovulating x

@ACNass it's nearly there. Test again tonight and i think that will be a blazing peak. I used the 'easy@home' app. You can scan you opks and it tells you if it's peak as the lady above stated.

@SparkyLauz hope it happens for you! Fingers crossed it's this month!

@Tillyturtle so sorry to hear that, must be heartbreaking. Everyone needs to vent, and this is the place if you need it. Hope it happens for you too

Congrats xx

Hey girls, mind if I jump on?🙈 currently 8dpo ttc #1, getting so fed up waiting 😨 baby dust to all x

Wondering if anybody can help?
Today I'm cd 9 of cycle
yesterday i was having what felt like a random one sided cramp but surely it's too soon to be ovulating yet ? I was walking the dog yesterday and had to climb a fence - as I got down, leant over to pick up dog lead, straightened up, it went sharp then dissipated?

@Hannahusky so sorry you went through this. I understand completely about being a fertility psycho. It's all I read and watch about these days. We use preseed and that works fine. Here's hoping this is your cycle.

@Tillyturtle I can only imagine how you feel but hang in there and you can always vent on here. X

AF arrived today and I treated myself to a couple glasses of wine and ice cream 😀 Gearing up for cycle 6. Where did the past few months go?! 🙈

Wishing baby dust to all you ladies currently in TWW xx

Update: I tested again this evening around 8 pm and I'm back to a faint line. Does this happen to anyone? I thought for sure it would be a for sure positive. Should I test again in the morning?

Hello all, joining in! I'm TTC #1 and due to ovulate on the 18th. Had my Mirena out end of May, and I've been using Amazon cheapies for OPKs and temping using the Tempdrop armband, which is absolutely brilliant and which I highly recommend.

@ACNass I've attached my line progression if it helps. I had a peak over 24 hours and then faint line after that.
