April 2021 TTC - let's chat :)

[Mumofboys20122017]

Hi everyone! We are currently trying for baby #3 This is cycle 2 and CD5. Period last week was shorter and lighter than normal, really confused me as its never been like that, did 2 tests but both BFN so trying again this month :) Not putting too much pressure on it, just going with the flow and if it happens it happens, trying not to stress too much about it 🙈 anyone else TTC this month? Hoping I can chat in here with people doing the same ❤

[quote Dreamer30]@tothemoonandback21 thank you so much 😊 I couldn't quite believe it either, was expecting a big flashing 'not pregnant' so it was definitely a shock lol I was much the same before using OPKs in that my app was telling me I was ovulating about 3 days earlier than I was. This was the first month I used OPKs and BBT and it's obviously worked, basically before I'd just been winging it with my app lol. I also used the Femometer LH strips to detect my peak, but would not recommend the HCG strips as they were all stark white for me[/quote]
Congratulations 🎉
Can you please recommend OKPs? And any tips? Next week I will start using them for the first time and I'm clueless. Thank you 🙏🏻

11 DPO and not morning urine.... but still ... I'm out aren't I 🥺

@Puppymamababymama thank you x

Top test was yesterday vvfl at 9dpo bottom test was just now x

@amyannx deffo has got darker!! Congratulations!!! ❤🎉

@Puppymamababymama fingers crossed you get your BFP! Sending lots of luck your way ❤

@Veronika13 you're not out until AF shows up! 11DPO can still be too early, fingers crossed you get your BFP soon x

@Mumofboys20122017 thank you, still can't believe it x

@amyannx well that's as clear as day!Congratulations!!! 💖

@tothemoonandback21 thank you, I'm in shock still, just anxious as it's so early x

Alright ladies I just took a test. Today is 13 DPO and I definitely see a light pink line!! Can't believe it I'm shaking! Please tell me if I'm losing my mind or not! It's the same test I just took two pictures 😅

@Puppymamababymama I feel like I can see a very faint line! This is how mine was yesterday and it was clearer today so maybe test again tomorrow, but I feel I can see a line, fingers crossed for you x

@Puppymamababymama I can definitely see something very faint! My first one with a line was also the same!! Fingers crossed you test again tomorrow and its darker ❤❤

@Puppymamababymama I see it I see it!! Good luck with your next test, looking very promising! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Aww yay congratulations @amyannx 🎉💕

@Puppymamababymama I can definitely see a line too!!!! So exciting!!! Have you got more tests for the morning? Which test did you use today?

@Tryingandhopeful thank you X

Ah thanks everyone! I could swear I saw the line and I'm glad someone else sees it too!

@Tryingandhopeful I used a dollar store test today and it was my last one. I'm going to try and grab some FRERs today on my way home from work!

@Puppymamababymama I can see lines for sure! ❤️

I did OPk on Saturday and it was negative but fairly dark. The next one I did was Monday and it was really faint and (I had stretchy clear cm) again tues and weds very faint (almost not there!) Sat would be CD 12 of ave 32 day cycle. My app predicts ov on CD 18! Could I have ov’d early and so missed the positive OPK as I didn’t do one on sun?! 🤪

@Puppymamababymama I can see a faint line too! 💜

congratulations @amyannx too! 💛

@Timeandtidal thank you hun x

@Onehotmess not necessarily!! I had a few dark but not positive OPKs mid cycle and then faded again! A week or so later I got my positive one. I have long cycles like you! Keep testing but try not to miss a day! Are you temping as well? You would know if you have ovulated if you’re temping too!

@Tryingandhopeful I keep forgetting to do my temp 😵 I’ll move the thermometer to my bedside table hopefully that will remind me! I will keep going daily with the OPKs then. I DTD Friday Saturday and Tuesday so hopefully have the bases covered just in case 😂Thanks for the advice! X

@Onehotmess I'm sorry I can't help with the OPKs as I use the digital CB ones (so busy with children I feel like I don't have the mental capacity to interpret the lines!) but I feel you on the forgetting to temp thing... this is my first time BBT and either I forget or my DD pulls me out of bed before I get a chance! 🙈 I also have a 32 day cycle with app predicting ovulation on day 18, keen to use the temping to make sure that's right this month. Well done for covering your bases with the BDing!

Went to 3 different stores yesterday and couldn't find any FRERs, I picked up two dollar store tests and a CBD. Used one of the dollar store ones this morning and it's super super faint like only if I hold a certain way in certain light so can't really get a pic. Ugh I'm gonna use the other dollar store one tomorrow but I'm ordering some frees online. I don't think I have anywhere near enough hcg for the CBD yet if I'm getting such faint lines.

@Onehotmess yes definitely keep the thermometer by your bed!! The key for accurate readings is to do it before you move out of bed! Lol you definitely covered the bases this weekend in case you did ovulate, but I reckon you’re going to ovulate more near CD18 especially if you have a 32day cycle!!

@tothemoonandback21 I know it’s so hard temping with little ones!! I’ve had to discard a few of my recordings as I’ve been up more than usual in the night with DS!! Could you get you DD to take your temp for you? Might be a nice way to get her involved? She may even remind you to do it if she gets in the habit 😂

@Puppymamababymama I know the CBD can pick up hcg of 10!! The early response FRERs pick up 6.5 so the CBD might detect it now! What dpo are you?

@Puppymamababymama seconded on trying with the CB - I got BFPs using these at a couple of days before my expected AF with my DC, after trying with lots of cheap ones first (all negative)! Good luck ✨

@Tryingandhopeful thank you, that's a great idea! My DD loves telling me what to do so I think that should work well 😂 Hope you're feeling well x
