New thread ladies!!! 😍😍😍

I can't see any of the old messages to properly comment and tag people - aaargh!!

But here's to lots of healthy, happy, sticky BFPs in this thread!!! 😘😘😘🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@VixFromThe6ix TTC#1 38 and on cycle 4, which has been terrible this cycle as had a very last minute house move, only DDD twice so far, missed OD, so no doubt will be TTC cycle 5 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey ladies!

Welcome newbies and good to see some old faces again! 😃😃😃

@Gummybear17 yay to darker lines! Got so much 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you!

@VixFromThe6ix I feel you, girl! I'm 36 and TTC#1. Been trying since end of May 2020, and I got pregnant in Oct, but it wasn't meant to be! This is my third cycle post-MC! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 we get our healthy, happy, sticky BFPs soon! It'll be tough not worrying, but we'll get there! 😘😘😘

@Noodella18 I think you can get gradual increases sometimes? 🤔 Are you testing twice a day now?

@M4v3r1ck thanks so much for the 🤞🏻I really hope all is well. Thanks for starting such a good thread its support is invaluable to so many !!

@02carol aw sorry to hear you've been having a stressful cycle. We never rule it out till af comes ❤️
If this cycle is a flop, I'll be ttc cycle 4... Strange because the two times I got pregnant it was from first try. Maybe this means that if I wait this one will actually stick 🤞🤞

@M4v3r1ck 🤞🤞🤞 for you, me and all the ladies here ttc... We can do this!!

@VixFromThe6ix hello! But spooky, like you I also starting trying last May, got a BFP in October then had a MC. Cycle 3 for me, first one I wasn't sure I was ovulating but then had a CP so must have been. Fingers crossed this is a lucky thread for us and all the other fab ladies here

@M4v3r1ck less of the 'old faces' please, I spend enough on anti wrinkle cream ha ha x

@Sleeeeeepy oh my gosh, I also hope this is a lucky thread!!! Out of all the threads this one is one I relate to the most so I wanna see all those BFP!!!

Baby dust for everyone

That's me out this cycle, AF in full force a day earlier than normal after a fair amount of spotting and they are usually very regular! Best of luck to every one else! Will be cycle 5 for us next time and going to up the salmon and healthy eating just to feel a bit more proactive tbh.

@Henslovetoscratch sorry you're out. Me too but then was expected for me as had a lap last week. Been bleeding and now have my period, so feels like the worlds longest period 😂 hoping it makes all the difference for ivf next month! Just waiting on a start date now.

@notyetamumbuttrying ah sorry to hear that. I find it's a bit of a relief when it comes instead of worries and what ifs, especially when you know you are out! That's great you are close to getting a start date for IVF, hope you hear soon!!

Found you! Thank you for setting this up @m4v3rick

Hello new guys and welcome!

Good luck for those in the tww!

Sorry to those who are out and 🤞 for a lucky new cycle!

Good news @gummybear17 ! I am very scared too had a mc before and older. Have you spoken to the dr or anyone yet? I dont think mine will speak to me until im further along (only 14 dpo) but maybe i could speak to my fertility clinic who were doing our tests?
🤞🤞 for us both x

@Yumcoffee no I've not spoken to my GP yet as I was still convinced it would be a chemical, but so far all is looking good. Done a test today at 16dpo and it looks good. Will prob call today but I just don't want to tempt fate !
Fingers crossed for us both and for all you lovely ladies out there !!

Hello please may I join? I'm 35 and TTC #2. I'm on the 2nd cycle of trying and am currently 1/2dpo. First time round I didn't do any ovulation tracking (not sure I even understood the cycle back then) and I think I just got lucky cos of my age (27). We were very adamant we didn't want anymore kids until about 3 months ago and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the thought of it all 😳. Last month I purchased an ovulation kit to give us the best chance as my periods have also become less regular. Good luck to everyone and hope for lots of bfps! ✨🌟

Thanks for the well wishes @Kitekat81 ! I'm in a strange place today - I'm CD24 and would usually have spotting by this point, very very light, usually for two days before AF. But nothing yet so far. App predicts AF for tomorrow, which is why I went for Progesterone test on CD19, as that would be 7 days prior. So...if AF arrives tomorrow, that means the test was well timed, which is helpful. But if not, it was either too early, or... Trying not to get my hopes up.

@VixFromThe6ix thank you, we've been ttc for just over 3 years now. We've also had 2 mc and two cp. I totally get the part about it being difficult to get excited, lots of lovely supportive ladies here though

@Sleeeeeepy min last two days med-heavy flow then one day light then 2-5 days spotting, which is majorly annoying!

@gigchic hi, your contraception can really mess with your cycles for a while when you first come off so it may take a while to normalise

@Kitekat81 I'm with you on the ewcm I'm getting little to none all the time!

@Gummybear17 great news!
🤞🏻 for you

@Henslovetoscratch sorry af arrived for you

Hi @Flossyvossy and welcome

Place marking! 😘😘

Hi everyone
39 and trying for baby #1. Been ttc for just a month now so very much a newbie and already finding it quite stressful! no LH surge and BBT doesn't really show a sharp rise in temp after suspected ovulation so trying to be patient for more data before self prescribing that i'm not ovulating at all!
on here as think i'm going to need the support to be patient on what could be a long road!
xx

Hi @Missmcmonkeymcbean I don't get a big spike in temp from ovulation just a slight rise, you may see more of a pattern after a few months

Hi @Missmcmonkeymcbean I'm 39 and trying for #1 too. We've been trying for 6 months and are just now having tests through the GP to see if we have any fertility issues - looking likely for me as my FSH level was too high. I'm CD25 today with AF due tomorrow. Whereabouts are you in your cycle?

@Henslovetoscratch I heard today! Starting next month 🥳
@Gummybear17 glad all's looking good still! 😊
Welcome @Flossyvossy and @Missmcmonkeymcbean I'm still pretty new to this thread but everyone's lovely ☺️ I would try clearblue so that you know for certain. It gives you a smiley face, rather than looking at dark lines. Good luck!

@notyetamumbuttrying fab news!!
@Missmcmonkeymcbean hello! I am a newbie to this board too but there is so much knowledge in this group of ladies plus friendliness which is really great.
I did a massive tesco shop full of healthy food this morning and already want a giant slab of choc!!!! 😂

Thanks all for your welcomes :)

@Marvellouslymadmum - thanks for letting me know this, calms the nerves a bit!

@TTCat39 - sorry to hear about your FSH level. I'm only starting to get to grips with all the jargon and different levels of everything. I'm CD18 today so AF not due for another week or so. i think i've ovluated already so would you guys recommend still DTD or not bother now until next cycle?

@notyetamumbuttrying & @Henslovetoscratch - thanks for the info :)

10dpo today and BFN on a cheapie... I know they say it's early but I feel gutted. Another month. And we did everything "right", so what gives.
Anyone wants to share some of that baby dust?? Just throw it at my uterus please

@VixFromThe6ix I didn't get my BFP until 12DPO had tested at 10 and 11 DPO and got myself more and more upset each day . I'm 16dpo and only now getting a strong pos on Internet cheapy . Give it a few more days and test again !! Sending loads of luck and baby dust xxx

@Gummybear17 thanks so much for a ray of hope ❤️
