Hi guys! I believe I ovulated today (CD14) after I got a static smiley on my OPK yesterday evening, this was after a flashy smiley in the morning! We DTD last night and now comes the start of the dreaded two week wait! Does any one fancy driving themselves crazy with symptom spotting and trying to to take a test too early with me? 🤣

I thought the dream was all over after a day of some spotting last week. I’m 5 weeks on Friday, and we’ve got a scan booked for Mother’s Day where I’ll be 7 weeks XX so happy and nervous after a chemical pregnancy in jan and early miscarriage in November.. praying for our rainbow

TWW anybody?

5 weeks on Sunday even! *

I’m so chuffed for you @TTCBaby1! November was a bad month for miscarriages on these boards wasn’t it? Everything crossed for rainbows for all of us 🌈

teateaandcoffee · 27/02/2021 06:33

Congratulations @TTCBaby1 and @agteacht

@LKB89 don't worry, I've done similar! It's not straight forward is it?

Kally9 · 27/02/2021 07:17

@sunbird24 and @TTCBaby1 Congratulations!! I hope it all goes well for you 😍

Thank you for the info @sunbird24 - I just had the tests with my GP and they're not very forthcoming with the insights! My progesterone was 36 👍 just got to wait for FH/LSH next cycle now x

LKB89 · 27/02/2021 07:59

I can definitely see something @Sunbird24 yay!!!! Congrats ❤️❤️❤️

Awwww @TTCBaby1 I'm so happy for you, I've been thinking of you this week. So happy to hear all well. Keep us updated won't you ❤️

Right TTCers what day are we on girlies? I'm Day 6 today (thought it was day 8 🤣) still showing a bit of brown this AM, set to start CB advanced digital OPK for the first time round this time, which suggests tomorrow is my first day!

We are going to do it this month 🤞🏻
Positive pandas 🐼 and baby dust all round 💫✨

agteacht · 27/02/2021 08:07

Such confusion here this morning.

After positive on FRER yesterday took a clear blue digital this morning and it says not pregnant.

Hoping it's just the digital though AF was due yesterday so that's not a great sign...

Going to have to get more tests...

BCM2021 · 27/02/2021 08:23

@Sunbird24 I can see it ! Are you 7dpo? Congrats!!!!

Sunbird24 · 27/02/2021 08:31

@BCM2021 8 days today!

TTCBaby1 · 27/02/2021 08:35

Thank you ladies! My tip is to try some morning fun 😂🙈

1992EM · 27/02/2021 08:54

@TTCbaby1 ah congratulations ❤ the words make it seem real . I got my 3 + today which has helped me relax a bit more 🤣 x

StephiW · 27/02/2021 14:45

@ttcbaby1 congratulations!!

I have been AWOL, sorry ladies, been busy busy busy.. I'm out for this month AF arrived 3 days ago... Starting to feel somewhat deflated but I know I have to push through this and keep chin up. Going to be taking Soya Isoflavones today till CD7 to, hopefully, help.

teateaandcoffee · 27/02/2021 20:13

@LKB89 I would normally be day 3 by now but for some reason this month AF hasn't started properly til today, so I'm day 1, but have a had brown blerg for 5 days already.
I'm going to start my Clear blue kit a week today, I have the same one as you I think. Feeling good about this month in general Smile

Sunbird24 · 27/02/2021 21:15

I’ve spent the day with my parents and managed not to say anything, but they gave me a glass of pink wine with my dinner so now I’m having to stretch that out over several hours without making them suspicious!

LKB89 · 28/02/2021 09:47

@teateaandcoffee I bet we do, I started today and obviously got the low fertility circle thing! Shall update you when I get my smileys!! I started DTD this time last cycle, so far I obviously didn't have a shot 🤣

@StephiW don't give up ❤️ it really is deflating but try try again & we'll be here to talk to x

teateaandcoffee · 28/02/2021 21:24

@LKB89 I'll update as well, actually like using them, there is literally nothing else going on so seeing a smiley face on a stick was the highlight of my mornings last month (and of course dtd hahahahaha)

I read somewhere something about pomegranate juice to help with conception, never tried it, no idea if it will work but I'll give it a go lol

Kally9 · 01/03/2021 09:04

Finally AF arrived with a bang this morning at 18dpo. Had sore boobs and nausea from 7pdo, and rising temps all the way from 10dpo up til yesterday morning - really thought I was in with a shot!

Feeling pretty exhausted with ttc at the moment.

Kally9 · 01/03/2021 09:05

Stupid really as I had a BFN at 12dpo but continued to hold out hope!

BCM2021 · 01/03/2021 09:30

@Kally9 ah sorry to hear! Hard to not hope. I’m 19dpo bfn yesterday but my periods are so irregular I can’t wait for it to come as could be waiting months lol, but think I’m also out this month. Booo

LKB89 · 01/03/2021 12:52

Ahh so sorry @Kally9 it's rubbish isn't it. Don't give up though!

Hopefully AF stays away @BCM2021 x

Kally9 · 01/03/2021 13:02

Thanks both, it's just so disheartening isn't it. Even had my ovulation confirmed and DTD at the right time.

Having my FSH/LH bloods done on Friday, maybe that will shed some light - although I'm wondering now my cycles are so long if day 5 is the right time?

We've just moved house and are doing a bit of a renovation so DH is stressed with that, he also takes the heavier financial burden between us, but his business is closed for COVID (more stress!). I feel so upset, but I don't want to put anymore on him. I'm glad for this group because TTC gets very lonely!

teateaandcoffee · 01/03/2021 22:20

That's rubbish @kally9, hope bloods can give some insight. If you ovulated that's a good sign, that's how I'm seeing it, I'm just having bad luck I think. Hope everything works out for husband's business, it's such an uncertain time.
Glad there are a few of us here who are on similar cycle day, it helps to have people to talk to about it all. I am at the point of almost not caring because it's just too much to go up and down every month, but reality is I would like to get pregnant more than anything.

LKB89 · 02/03/2021 08:01

Ahh @Kally9 it seems like you have an awful lot going on personally and as cliche as this sounds maybe the stress of everything just isn't helping, it's so hard to not worry though.
When people say to me 'just relax and see what happens' it's so hard to just relax isn't it! I really hope it happens a for you soon. Let us know how the blood test go!

@teateaandcoffee i actually never realised how much I did want a baby before trying. I was always a 'if it happens it happens' I got married at the end of 2019 (luckily just made it) and we had a few holidays planned for 2020 which apart from a cruise we actually got to go on, they were all at the right time of the year, and I said after our last trip in December that's when we will try, I had been off the pill all that year so ready for it!
And because it's not happened yet I'm like ffs why! All my friends have babies/pregnant too so I guess that doesn't help the pressure or the wanting to have one! I was naive to think it would happen right away! 😩

Anyhoo best not dwell, we need to remain positive, positive minds, manifest that baby girlies! X

Intrigued2020 · 02/03/2021 08:33

When is everyone’s ovulation predicted? According to my app, mine should be the 15th of March (CD 24) so I think I will start using the sticks from next Monday 😁

BCM2021 · 02/03/2021 08:53

Period for me too! Back to the smileys lol x
