@Pancakes7 how strange!! Hopefully get your peak tomorrow!! X

Just catching up! @Bellabubble and @PumpkinEverything how did I miss this! Congratulations!!! 😁. So excited for you. X

@gizmo167 it's very clearly a positive!

I'm starting to worry now. I'm CD18 and still on high. If I peak tomorrow then 12 days to AF, that's a 31/32 day cycle. I'm wondering if I'm not getting pregnant anymore because there's something wrong with my cycles. I'm worried I might not peak at all. Do anyone else's cycles seem to vary when they ovulate? Mine is getting later each month. I've been Googling and worrying myself...

Negative on a FRER this morning and a boots early. I think the clear blue ones mustn't of been real lines. Gutted :( think I'll be out now

@Pancakes7 so sorry it is giving you so much worry! Prior to my MC I came off my contraception in May last year. My cycles were all over the place and got longer and longer before one month they shortened to 28 days and stayed there. I know it's different but I hear after MC your body can restart itself so maybe it will just take a little while to find it's rhythm? I'm no expert but maybe giving it time, it might settle down?

CD11 for me, flashing smiley again so hoping for peak tomorrow, would be nice if it fell on the weekend, we are both pretty tired after a busy week 😂

Sorry meant CD13 I'm clearly tired 😂

@PrettyPinkPansies oh I’m sorry to hear that. What cd are you on now? X

@Pancakes7

I'm starting to worry now. I'm CD18 and still on high. If I peak tomorrow then 12 days to AF, that's a 31/32 day cycle. I'm wondering if I'm not getting pregnant anymore because there's something wrong with my cycles. I'm worried I might not peak at all. Do anyone else's cycles seem to vary when they ovulate? Mine is getting later each month. I've been Googling and worrying myself...

I am having irregular cycles 28/31 days and my Dr said my ovaries are "lazy" that's why I have pains when I ovulate. The ovary waits too much and gets inflamed and the egg is released later but that doesn't mean I don't ovulate it just takes a while until I get my peak.

Worrying it just make it worse.. Maybe you should check with your doc?

@Strawberry08 CD34 but this is first cycle following MC. I'm 9Dpo

@PrettyPinkPansies you definitely aren’t out for this month then, it’s so early, you’re only just 6 days before your missed period. Don’t lose hope yet x

@PrettyPinkPansies I got a negative at 9dpo and a positive at 13dpo - 9dpo can still be too early to tell either way x

@RichmondLady1981 hey! How are you doing? I’m ok - feeling pretty rough, but I didn’t feel any sickness with the first 2 - so I’m hoping this is a sign it’s my sticky bean!!

@PumpkinEverything I get the vitamins from the wild nutrition website, I don’t think they sell on Amazon (which is a bummer as they’d be cheaper lol!) i found the pregnacare ones left a gross taste in my mouth that repeated on me when I used them - thankfully these ones don’t lol!

@PrettyPinkPansies your not out, you might have implanted later so HCG levels not detectable yet x

@oannic Thanks for replying. I always got pregnant so quickly before so I never tracked my ovulation. So I don't know if I've always been like this or if this is something new. But I think this is month seven since my MMC. How much wonder if I was better off when I wasn't tracking it. I only started because it was taking longer to get pregnant. I wasn't sure if a GP would speak to me if it's been under a year TTC. I worry that if I ovulate late and do get pregnant it might be more likely to not stick. I do sometimes wish I didn't want another child so much. It would be much easier. But here we are.

@oannic Maybe I'll see how this cycle goes to the end. If I'm not pregnant, I might ask my gp for advice. I think they'll probably just say try longer, come back when it's been a year. But I guess it's worth asking.

@oannic what ovulation tests are you using?

I mean @Pancakes7 what ovulation tests are you using?

@PrettyPinkPansies you are definitely not out until AF is there.

@Pancakes7 I understand now. Are you also temping? Which ttc month are you on? I am also afraid it will take a while until i get pg and i am 32 years old and was planning on having 2 until i'm 35. Don't thinks it's possible but still hoping.

Hi ladies, hope you don’t mind me jumping on this thread. We conceived at the end of October, but knew from the get go we were going to miscarry. It took my body a while but I miscarried naturally over Christmas. I’m currently on CD7 and finished up with AF CD5. Going to track my ovulation from today to get a better idea of cycles! Fingers crossed we all get our sticky babies next time round 🤞

@SLCxxx I use CB, there are 7 sticks in a package and I start testing when my app is telling me the LH should increase. It works for me especially that immediately after the peak day I have cramps so I know it's happening.. Sometimes is hard to do something exactly that day cause it hurts also during sex (yay me)

@SLCxxx I'm using the Clear blue fertility monitor. You do a test daily.

@oannic i'm using the clear blue fertility monitor are you test every day. No I'm not temping. I had my MMC in July and last month of recovery and then a month we couldn't try as I'd had to have a procedure.It's been seven months but I guess I've only tried for five. Only tracked for three including this one.

Thanks girls. I don't know wether to hold off on doing any more tests or do another tomorrow?

@PrettyPinkPansies def not out yet hun, I would hold off testing but then look at me, I couldnt and panicked myself with the faints, I'm still not convinced lol!

@Pancakes7 with me my cycles were all over the place before I had my DD but then I have pcos and could have a 28 day or a 48 day one but after birth they settled down, up until the MC! They were a bit eratic but had settled down to somewhere between 27-30 days with one long one of 34 in one year so it def can take a while to settle and I dont temp at all so I cant help with that!

@gizmo167 how many DPO did you get your positive? X
