Lost my fertility bracelets my partner brought me i swear it’s a omen!! So upset as they were so pretty and a nice thought even if they don’t work x

@Sweetbabydust1989 oh no! My sister bought me one of the red string bracelets I've been wearing it since Christmas hoping that it brings me luck!! Don't forget if you can DTD before ovulation it's better to have the spermies waiting there in anticipation of the egg being released and sperm can live up to five days in the Fallopian tubes 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼xx

@Luan82 they have been found my other half found them in the sleeve of my dressing gown so happy they just give me comfort I have literally been wearing them everyday I only take them off for a bath or washing up... oh perfect i am worried I might only get to do it on the flashing days as going off my app thingy I will ovulate between either the 8th - 9th and we will be both working me evenings hun days grrr so hoping if I miss my peak my high fertility day will be enough... I am so scared my slightly damaged tube might catch it I deep down wish they could of just removed it and checked the other but they said it might cause more harm than good xx

Help I am so confused just did an ovulation test and it’s come straight up with a static smiley no flashing on just a static I am only on day 12 last month I didn’t get my static until day 16... when am I likely to ovulate? I usually no when I ovulate as I get pains but nothing this month xx

Thought I would add a picture this is the clear blue advanced connected one should I be concerned about the lines I no it detects dual hormones I was just shocked I got a peak so early In my cycle xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 that's so strange ! It does look like this is your surge - think they usually say you're likely to ovulate in the next one or two days !! So if you are able to - get busy ASAP !! 😂x

@Luan82 apparently I am not suppose to pain any attention to the stick just the holder... I think my cycle might be a short one... I have been down and dirty for the last 2 nights... but can’t no more due to my working hours... so it’s 24-36 from the first peak day so my ovulation would be either tomorrow or Tuesday xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 fingers crossed for you lovely !! They do say it's better to DTD before the surge rather than after if you can xx

@Luan82 I DTD 28th 30th 3rd and 4th so fingers crossed!!! I want the fresh sperms 🤣 so on my clear blue it’s blanked out today and tomorrow as peak days when would my 2WW start sorry for all the questions ovulation tests completely new to me xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 well according to the asps they usually set the day after you get the positive opk as the date of ovulation, but it can actually happen the same day as your surge, I get these weird pains that radiate from the ovary so I'm always pretty sure that ovulation happens pretty soon after my surge - have you tried using the Flo app on your phone too? It's very good at estimating your cycle and predicting dates, the 2WW starts the day after ovulation so that's 1DPO - lots of people prefer to wait to 12 DPO to test (which I'm trying to do this cycle!) as the embryo will take between 6-12 dpo to travel through the tubes and into the uterus xx

@Luan82 I am using the flo app I love it!!! It’s saying my ovulation day is my birthday 8th April... but due to getting my peak LH surge I am not actually sure when it will occur... as if I count 24-36 hours from this more it would be either tomorrow or Thursday which is 2 days before the flo app estimates it... I usually get pains but nothing this month just a little cramping in the middle not on a particular side I am more left ovary dominant.. I am so blinking confused lol xx

Tomorrow or Tuesday not Thursday lol xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 your ovulation date can fluctuate particularly after pregnancy or ectopic, mine used to be the 17/18 of the month and after the ectopic it changed to earlier 15/16 and weirdly this month it was a day late! Though last cycle was shorter, my period was two days early at 27 days ! I also think that if your ovulation day is different it will usually affect the day of your first period too, I would set your symptoms to positive ovulation test under Flo and the calendar will adjust it for you, know its difficult to DTD with your working hours but if you can get in as much sexy time as possible over the next week^ you're pretty much covered !! I do think it's quite rare for a woman to get an LH surge and not ovulate within the next two days......the below info might help xx. Ordinarily, it's secreted at very low levels throughout your menstrual cycle. But once a developing egg follicle reaches a certain size — usually around the midpoint of your cycle — LH secretion surges to really high levels. This hormone surge is what triggers ovulation about 24 to 36 hours later.^

@Luan82 thanks so much for telling me the flo thing I couldn’t find the ovulation part but I have now 😂 it’s predicting the ovulation today I can feel it’s coming back ache and cramping has set in... I DTD yesterday so if I ovulate today that should hopefully be enough... when I got pregnant with the ectopic I only had sex once... so I have DTD 4 times in a week they say do it every other day so I really hope I have done enough... I can’t do it today as other half is working and I am at work tonight 😩 yes the ectopic has changed my cycle slightly it was my normal 30 day this month is going to be a 27 cycle.. hope you’re ok lovely?? Xx

You really are a fountain of knowledge @Luan82 ! I'm a total noob with it all 😂

@Lililou me too I was getting well confused with my ovulation test as it threw me that it happened so quickly xx

Fingers crossed for you @Sweetbabydust1989 , it's sounded like you DTD plenty in the run up to ovulation which is good!

I've done another pregnancy test this morning at 11DPO. I know some people hold off but I find it strangely easier to deal with to get negatives early on then I'm not really expecting a positive. A positive is then a nice surprise if it happens, if that makes sense. Also I'm impatient as f* 🤣

I don't think this month is our month anyway. With the ectopic I had breast tenderness that I'd never had before with a period which was a tell tale sign, none of that this month. And it's only our first month TTC after surgery at the beginning of the year so we'll see how it goes.

How you holding out @Luan82? You're much more patient than I am! 😂

@Lililou oh it’s been so hard to get the deeds in due to our working hours lol but I think 4 days should be enough that’s within the week leading up to my positive peak I started Last Sunday and got my positive peak yesterday so fingers crossed... I am just getting so confused on when my little egg will move... panicking that it might get stuck in my right tube again... oh I bet I would be too scared to test 😂 xx

@Lililou ah bless you ! Well I have to say I'm
Normally a POAS addict !! So many times I've got my hopes up and different symptoms with each month convinced me I was preggo every single time, that and staring at a negative test for so long I started getting line eye wasn't healthy for me!!! I think it helps me to know I have a plan in place if we don't get anywhere this month and that's to proceed to IVF privately as my referral is going nowhere atm and I'm reaalllly concerned time is not my friend !! I will test at 12dpo to make sure I don't get a false negative but though I've got some symptoms this month (cramps, headaches, nausea, dizziness, very sore boobs) I haven't had others like metallic taste, thick cm, spotting so I'm not convinced it's our month again - we shall see, almost slightly terrified to test and see that BFN again!l too though!! 😔😔😔 xx. @Sweetbabydust1989 sounds like you are well and truly covered for this month - lots of baby dust to you !! Xx

Question for those that have successfully conceived after ectopic - I'm 10dpo today and experiencing the strangest cramps from the side that I ovulated around the ovary region too far to the right for the uterus - they keep coming along in waves and it's not terrible but enough to know it's there, it's freaking me out a little as I'm worried about another ectopic - maybe a little too early for pain to come from an ectopic though ? Any advice would be much appreciated!!! Xxx

@Luan82 no advice on the conception question as I am far from it I just really hope this is your month I really hope your body is kind to you and gives you BFP!!! This whole thing is a scary time especially after an ectopic I keep panicking that my tubes are blocked or it’s going to travel in the right tube.. I have had no pain like I usually do only slight cramping it’s really weird xx

So a couple of days ago I found I was pregnant. First since ectopic I am about 4 weeks 5 days. Today I have started bleeding light pink . I rang up EPU who said if I wasn’t in pain and the bleeding remains light to ring up GP for blood tests tomorrow . If it gets worse though to get to urgent care. I am now just so worried and can’t stop crying. Did any of you have this and still manage to be pregnant. I am just dreading it is another ectopic and they have to remove the other tube !!

@Sweetbabydust1989 😘😘 it really is very hard not to worry isn't it! Just keeping my fingers crossed that it's a good sign!! Xx

@Hlump1980 light pink sounds like implantation bleeding to me, my sister bled a few times during the early stages of her pregnancy and she had to have tests - all was fine and they reassured her a bit of bleeding is normal, so try not to worry too much, are you going in for an early scan or bloods to make sure the numbers are rising appropriately ? Xx

@Hlump1980 and congratulations to you btw that's such lovely news!! 🌸🙏🏼🌈xx
