Hya all

I am new to mums net. I am currently in my tww and losing hope again for this month. My af is due Friday the 24th. I have no symptoms really! Slight bruised feeling in sides of my boobs, and yesterday and sharp stabbing pains in my pelvic area. That's about it really. Just feel like af will show again and it's not happened again. This was my chart for this month as well and when we dtd

AF was due yesterday and still hasn’t appeared. Did a test yesterday and it was a BFN.

I’m usually regular as clockwork so not sure what to think atm Confused. I don’t want to keep testing and getting more BFNs.

Hi ladies, please can I join?

Currently month 2 TTC baby no.2 and at the end of the TWW! I’m due AF on Wednesday and I’ve been having lower back ache, tingling nipples, cramps and general moodiness for a few days now. I feel like this month isn’t our month either, and I’m trying not to get disappointed. Never been in this situation before as we caught first time with our DD.

Thinking if AF arrives this month, I might try OPK’s next month. Has anyone got any tips of the best brands to use?

Thanks 😘

Hya ladies only me again!! I spoke to a really nice dr today about the chemical that I suffered Saturday and the one back in January this year. He said I am still young and healthy and with me being 38 I said cld this be the reason and he said that 38 is the new 20. He did make me laugh. When I told him I had fell within the third month and also fell with my girls within the third month, he said my fertility must be very good and the fact that my husbands sperm is fertilising the egg as well is a good thing. He said if it happens again then I have to be very unlucky and that he thinks it sldnt and to not give up. As I have had three babies that I brought all to term as well. He said if I do happen to experience this again then he wld get me referred to have some tests done. He made me feel a lot better as I have been feeling quite low the past two days. Ovulation window for me is the end of next week so onwards and upwards ey!! I'm not letting this bring me down and I know the baby I want will soon stick when the time is right! Wishing you ladies all the luck as well x

Hya @Chivari

Welcome 🙏

Tbh, I never used the exspensive ovulation tests and only brought cheap ones. I got the strip ones off of Amazon. I think u get 50 in a pack. Sometimes I never used ovulation sticks either as I went by my cervical mucus. And cos my cycle is roughly 28 days we just dtd from a few days after my af finished and done dtd every other day in my fertile window. I did conceive this month and my ovulation date was the 10th of September and we dtd on the 5th 7th 9th 10th and 12th. I led with my legs tilted Avery single time as well for at least twenty minutes. I tested positive Wednesday but unfortunately it was a chemical pregnancy and started to bleed Saturday. I have had three girls previously and never even used ov tests with any of them. Once you see ewcm then u need to get to it and before this as well and after this. They say hitting the three days before ovulation gives u a good chance as speed can survive for up to 5 days waiting for the egg. Hit ovulation day as well and continue after ovulation for another two days. I hope this helps x

Defo think AF is on its way, I’ve started more cramping and am slightly irritated for no reason so defo think I’m out for this month again

Leibee87 · 28/09/2021 19:07

I'm still waiting too. No real cramps but have a headache which was a sign last month (though had one last week too so idk) will test tomorrow if it doesn't come and if its bfn then I'm going to be calling it.

Chivari · 28/09/2021 20:15

Thanks @rita83. I’m sorry about your chemical, hope you’re feeling ok! Fingers crossed your next pregnancy sticks 😘

I was so lucky with my daughter as we conceived first month of trying. I didn’t do OPK’s or test CM or anything we just dtd in what I thought was my fertile window and it obviously worked! I feel a bit disheartened now that it’s not worked the same this time, but I know it’s early days!
I am due tomorrow/Thursday and I had some pink tinged CM when I wiped earlier which I thought was AF but now there is nothing. I am super bloated and tingly nipples still, plus lower back ache. I’ll just wait it out and see but think I’m out this month which means we move in to cycle 3!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 28/09/2021 20:45

@Chivari I think I would have tested by now and I would definitely be hopeful! Keep us posted 😀

Chivari · 28/09/2021 20:55

I definitely will @FlyOnTheWall89. Trying not to test and waste tests, as I wasted a lot last month 😂 I’ve only done 1 test so far on Sunday which was of course a BFN! I’ll wait until Thursday and then if no AF I’ll do one!

FlyOnTheWall89 · 28/09/2021 20:57

@Chivari very wise…… and patient 😂. I realllllly hope it’s my month but do love it when anyone on here gets to celebrate a BFP.

Chivari · 28/09/2021 21:04

@FlyOnTheWall89 I’m sending you all the baby dust! When are you due? Very hopeful for you xx

FlyOnTheWall89 · 28/09/2021 21:13

@Chivari oh I ovulate in 10 days ish so a while away yet. Felt very sad to get a BFN last month but…. We move. New month, new opportunity.

Chivari · 28/09/2021 21:34

Love your positivity @FlyOnTheWall89 😀
AF has definitely arrived so I guess it’s a new month, new opportunity for us too! Fingers crossed

rita83 · 29/09/2021 05:52

@FlyOnTheWall89 hello Smile when is your next ovulation date? Dr said to me to count my chemical bleed as day 1 of my cycle so ovulation wld be around the 11th for me. New cycle for me now to and cycle 4 this time x

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 29/09/2021 06:00

@rita83 hi hi! My app thinks the 9th Oct, which still feels like she’s away but I guess it’s not. I think I’m pretty definitely a O on CD17 most months. We are moving this week so I have things to stay distracted with! I’m now taking VitaWest VitalDHA, coQ10 and folic acid. I usually take Vit D anyway so keeping up with that too. Fingers firmly crossed!

rita83 · 29/09/2021 06:53

@FlyOnTheWall89 I will stick with you then for cycle buddies this month. I think I am around the 11th maybe sooner or a bit after. I can normally tell when ovulation is gonna happen. Yep me to folic acid and vitamins d also evening primrose oil as well. I'm just so scared that my chemicals mean I cannot implant properly anymore as well I really hope this isn't the case. Just worried my uterus lining is bad or something like that x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 29/09/2021 07:08

@rita83 I bet there are so many more people that have chemical pregnancies without realising because they don’t test and then that worry wouldn’t even exist. Try to think positive. Maybe see if you can get a doctors appointment / pay privately to get a measurement to taken. I’ve seen this somewhere on this platform and you can find out if it’s normal etc. As this is our first baby trying thing, I have been so surprised at the volume of problems people run into before they conceive. And worrying the amount of people who get the all clear in every department and still take lots of time. You’re only 4th cycle - try not to get too worried. Believe it will happen. I am trying to do the same!!! X

rita83 · 29/09/2021 07:50

Aww thank you @FlyOnTheWall89 this is so comforting. Yes there probably isn't anything wrong at all and like you said if we didn't test before af I would have just had a late period basically. We are gonna keep strong and keep trying as well. Fertile week next week apparently 😊 so will try and hit the days we did last month as we missed a day and it worked so dont every other day and day of ovulation and then missed a day then done another day. Stayed led down as well this time and never got up til after twenty mins or so 😂 we will have to keep each other posted. I am not going to test and I am just gonna wait for af to arrive from now on. I spoke to a dd the other day and thinks alarm bells are t ringing as of yet so to keep going as we are he said x

Hi ladies, sorry I've been awol. Been soo busy!! I'm so sorry to hear about your chemical @rita83 😩 Let's keep our fingers crossed for a positive month this month x

rita83 · 29/09/2021 15:55

Thank you Cruz and yes positive thoughts for me. Ovulation around the 10th or 11th as they say the chemical bleed is cycle day one so for me this was Saturday. Really hoping a little bean sticks for me soon xx

Leibee87 · 29/09/2021 16:17

BFN for me this morning but still no AF absolutely pissed off about it tbh but hey trying to remember that I have not long been off the implant and am sure it will come soon. Just impatient.

rita83 · 30/09/2021 08:57

@Leibee87 hello, I am so sorry to hear this. When did you come off your implant? Could take a few months for your cycle to regulate again maybe. I'm on a new cycle now so fingers crossed for this month but I don't think it will happen either. They say you are super fertile after a chemical but I don't really know tbh!! 😞 it's all just a waiting game isn't it x

rita83 · 05/10/2021 10:13

Hello ladies

How are we all doing? My ovulation is now 4 days away. I have had the ewcm today. Obviously following my chemical I didn't think I would ovulate properly!! Any one else near to their ovulation day 😃

OP posts:
FlyOnTheWall89 · 05/10/2021 10:20

@rita83 hello! I was wondering when this thread may pick up again! I think I am approx 4 days off too. Small amount of EWCM, 2 days flashing smiley. I predict Saturday will be my static smiley. Remaining positive after feeling so so sad about my BFN last month. Hope you are doing okay after the chemical. x
