@winkles23

Little not so great update: I think I'm going through a chemical pregnancy atm unfortunately. So just going to ride this one out and try again next cycle. Going to keep my fingers crossed for the rest of you xx

So sorry to hear! :(
I'm due to test on 18th but most likely won't be positive as we only managed to try once during fertile window. Who's knows! Only takes one time right?

I got my positive opk on the first so think I ovulated either the second or third. So I’m most likely 4/5 days PO. I don’t get many ovulation symptoms and am unconvinced my CM etc changes, but I can’t be sure. I have long ish cycles though so not due in until the 16th. I feel like every month just drags so much

How are you all keeping up? Coming towards the end of my period now, it's been a pretty rough one and I've had next to no energy. Just want it to hurry up and finish now so I can move onto the next cycle!

@winkles23

This cycle was extra tough and think I'm going to take a couple of months off, TTC is really not enjoyable.

@winkles23 think I'm having yet another chemical, feeling pretty rotten. Just got home to a bath already drawn and flowers in the bathroom, so I'm being well cared for, just a bit sad.

@SuperstitiousMagpie sending you a big hug.

@winkles23 have you been able to rest this period? Mine is due soon so I stocked up on the junk food today.

@JellyTots2021 it really is tough. Yes, maybe take some time off and just focus on doing the deed when you want to instead of scheduling (some people have actually said it's helped them get their bfp!). I may follow suit after next cycle if I'm unsuccessful. This period has been extra tough. I've been bleeding quite heavily and it's left me with next to no energy. I'm coming towards the end of it now though so it's eased up quite a bit. Hoping yours isn't too bad but I'm sure the junk food will help!

@SuperstitiousMagpie aww I'm sorry to hear that, love. I've just gone through the same :(
Glad to hear you're being looked after Thanks

Im about 12DPO. I thought I was out this month as we only managed to DTD 4 days before and 2 days after I THOUGHT I ovulated but... I'm not making this up right?!

I can't believe it!!

Hi ladies, I was on lots of TTC trains on here but the longer times gone it, it was too painful. I did a test today 9dpo (I know, far too impatient!) and it's come up with a faint line and within the time period. Not had a whiff of a line but I know these FRERs can throw up evaps. What are your thoughts please? I have no more! 🤦🏻‍♀️
Will def retest in a couple of days x

@JK739 congratulations! I had a helpful chat with my gp today so feeling positive.

@emsjourney I can see the line, but I've got a very strict digital test rule after the dithering of the last cycle. Fingers crossed for you!

Hi guys hope it’s ok if I join it says sept/Oct Congrats to those with bfps and positive vibes for those TTC, I’m currently 6dpo and today and took my partner’s head off for no reason I do get a bit grumpy before period so not looking too much into it but did anyone else have this? Before a BFP it’s just the 2ww is soo long…and pms and period symptoms so similar

Hey ladies.

We are TTC #2. Our baby girl was 1 at the end of September and would like a small ish age gap. Hopefully no bigger than 2.5years.
I ovulated on 23/10.
I don't have a regular cycle at all. I have PCOS. took 15months to conceive our first.
So think I will take a pregnancy test next weekend?! X x x

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me jumping on, I was on some of the TTC threads a few months back but had to take a break after month 6 for my own sanity 🙈

I ovulated late this month I think at day 17, im now 13DPO, have had mild pms cramps the last few days but nowhere near as bad as normal. As I ovulated late im expecting AF tomorrow but felt different to normal so took an FRER this morning, BFN 😩 I know they're supposed to be 99% accurate, does this mean im definitely out or has anyone ever not got a positive on an early detection until after their missed period?
