Hi ladies, our March 2021 TTC Bus seems to be full up, would be a shame not to continue. So looking forward to sharing all our BFP's 🤗
I'm sorry if I forgot some people, totally unintentional. Quite a lot on the other thread.

@justwant2beamum oh ok thank you! Just wasn't expecting it to be a week earlier! I tested again it's not any higher but will be more accurate tomorrow as I tend to not be able to go ages without having any water over the weekends but with a routine in the week i always find it easier, is there a chance that I still might not ovulate and it's just a surge? I usually get reading of 0.60 or higher then over a few days I get a peak so I will know by Tuesday x

Henslovetoscratch · 18/04/2021 20:43

@Natalie3387 thanks for your reply and really sorry to hear about your loss.

Did your doc give you anything to help the spotting? Its definitely something I will keep eye on and might just get in touch with doc to see when I can go in... Thank you!
Best of luck to you this cycle!

FingersCrossedConstantly · 18/04/2021 21:09

@chickPR I am honestly going stir crazy!

Willow1982 · 18/04/2021 22:44

@Natalie3387 thank you so much for your reassuring reply, I’m really sorry to hear you went through that too!
But that’s what I love about this mumsnet, you have made me feel a bit normal and not alone! This was my first month TTC after the MC and do you know the worst bit is we DTD (I feel) right before and right after the “correct days” bloody typical!! At least I know what to expect next month now though!
Good luck to you though, and thank you again xxx

JoanneAsh · 19/04/2021 07:01

Negative - due I usually today had no signs so was hopeful but did a clear blue digital and not pregnant. Gutted I thought maybe but shouldn’t have gotten my hopes up. With only one tube left and 38 years old I need to face facts it’s not gonna happen again now.

Good luck and baby dust to you all. Xx

Hey! I posted yesterday about my ovulation test and now I need some help, I did a opk test yesterday and got a reading of 0.61, it wasn't a positive test but dark that it nearly was, carried on testing yesterday as I got some cramps so thought maybe I was ovulating a week early, did another test today and it's back to my normal readings so could I had a LH surge but not ovulated? Never had this before so confused, will attach my test x

justwant2beamum · 19/04/2021 11:14

@amyannx hmm it looks quite close to positive. I have heard of some people getting multiple surges. I'd keep testing right through your cycle see what it does. I think unless you bbt there's no way to confirm if you o'd or not. I don't bbt so this month I've just done opks every day (well nearly) as I'm recently post mc which can mess up cycles, so I'm just using opks to test every day to check I don't have a second LH surge x

amyannx · 19/04/2021 11:16

@justwant2beamum my temp dropped a little this morning but I have found it isn't very reliable for me as I'm up with my son in the night, just confused never had a reading that high that hasn't then progressed on to a positive test, I will keep testing this cycle to see what it does but I usually ovulate on day 18 and I'm only on day 12 today x

timeisnotaline · 20/04/2021 00:34

I think that’s as good as my opks get, I’m guessing I ovulated when I got a slightly stronger line.
Wish I knew!
Also wish I understood luteal phase- can you ovulate and then period doesn’t come for 3 weeks?because all the pregnancy test timing is based around the period date, do you not get an earlier bfp if you ovulate earlier?

PeanuttyButter · 20/04/2021 07:14

@timeisnotaline I used opks for a few months and never managed to get a peak. I tested from days 7-15 because I've only got a 24 day cycle.
This month I got a high on day 10 and 11 then what felt like ovulation pains on day 12 then randomly tested on day 16 to make sure my LH had gone down and I had a peak. DH didn't want to DTD anymore and I was gutted. But then got a squinter and BFP and fingers crossed it will stick.

Hey ladies, been on every ttc bus for a year (bar this one, was too upset initially).

But have just woke up busting to pee today at 12DPO (AF due in 2) and this one month over the last year I don't have a frer in the house😅 So this is a Tesco cheapie I bought with the shopping yesterday -

Thoughts??

@millionairesshortbread4 congratulations it looks positive to me x

@millionairesshortbread4 Congratulations!!

justwant2beamum · 20/04/2021 09:54

@millionairesshortbread4 congrats 🥳 ✨

millionairesshortbread4 · 20/04/2021 10:02

Thank you all so much!!

Honestly, I've never had a whiff of a BFP in a whole year of trying - it was so hard to believe that esp with evaps etc l.

But went out just now and got a frer, and now it's seeming slightly more believable! 🙉 Aaahhhh

What a line millionaire! And fingers crossed it sticks peanutbutter too!

PeanuttyButter · 20/04/2021 14:31

Congratulations @millionairesshortbread4 that's a nice strong line.

Sam8582 · 20/04/2021 16:21

Massive congratulations @millionairesshortbread4 :) lovely news to hear

ohhisammi · 20/04/2021 17:17

Congratulations everyone so so lovely to see all the BFP ! ♥️
I'm in the TWW. Going to do 1st test Monday I think.
🤞🏼

amyannx · 20/04/2021 17:51

Hi I am so confused at the moment, been using opk test for the last few months and always have readings from 0.17-0.29 then before my peak it gets higher, last few days I've been going up and down in readings! Is this normal? I have attached a picture below, I usually ovulate on day 18 so this is earlier than normal but I know there not positive just look like they are heading that way and then they go back down x

Emsjourney · 20/04/2021 18:36

@amyannx that’s really interesting to see. I’ve done the one step tests and it showed the test line getting stronger then all of a sudden started dropping without actually getting a proper positive. I now know I shouldn’t be testing first thing like I have been and only once a day. Not sure if I just missed the surge or if I didn’t ovulate.
Be interesting to see if you carry on testing, you’ll get your surge when you normally expect it. Have seen others say some women have more than one surge too x

Emsjourney · 20/04/2021 18:39

@millionairesshortbread4 oh congratulations ❤️
So good to see those trying for while get a positive! Gives you some hope 🥰 This is our 7th month ttc and it’s the first time I’ve actually been upset. It just consumes you sometimes and it can be so exhausting. I wish I could just take it easy and chill out but easier said than done x
