@OCM19 sorry I just seen the update that AF arrived and hope you're doing okay it's so disheartening

Trying to understand my body more this cycle! Is this EWCM? Or is it too cloudy? I’ve been worrying that I don’t produce CM but then swiped this morning!!

@NarnieJoy looks like it!

@lj2022 I did test but not looking good. I wrote above before.

The spotting has now eased up now but it literally will be a Christmas miracle if I'm pregnant. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DanceWithYourBalloon sorry to hear you think you’re having a chemical pregnancy. I will keep my fingers crossed for you, but please take care of yourself xx

@DanceWithYourBalloon sending love ❤️

@DanceWithYourBalloon so sorry I must have missed that. Hope you're okay x

@DanceWithYourBalloon sorry to hear you might be having a chemical, take care of yourself.

@DanceWithYourBalloon So sorry to hear that, sending virtual hugs.

@tryingtryinggone We actually tried Sperm Meets Egg Plan on the cycle we conceived DS, I don't think it was the main reason I got pg, but it was interesting to see afterwards how our timing was unintentionally boy-focused, so maybe there's some logic to it all.

CD18 now and I took an OPK on a whim after AF finished on CD15- got a positive which PreMom puts at 1.27, happy days. OH is at work, of course, and will be too tired to BD when he gets home, but there's always tomorrow!

Thanks all. Will just have to see how the next few days pan out I suppose. 🤞🏻
But I'd say it's not looking likely

@lj2022 not at all. There's so many messages that it's easy to miss a few. Very chatty group! 😊

I am 13 dpo. AF due to arrive in two days. I will hold out until end of this week before testing. Eeek

@DanceWithYourBalloon I am sorry to hear that and I am keeping everything crossed things are ok x

@Beautyangel1 you have more patience than me. 😂 I got a stonker of a line at 14dpo last time there’s no way I’d wait longer than that (My Luteal phase is 12 days though which makes a difference)

Hope everyone had a good weekend x

@Duckandsarah did you do an early pregnancy test? X

Cramps are worse and bleeding is getting a bit heavier now. I kind of just want it done and dusted now so I can get on with life.

I had such an easy time with my other two children so this is a bit of a bummer. 🙁

@Beautyangel1 very exciting! I'd have broken by now and tested! 😂

@DanceWithYourBalloon I hope you are ok xx

Would I need to do an early pregnancy test or a normal one? AF is due to arrive in 2 days. Xx

@dancewithyourballoon I hope you're ok x

@Beautyangel1 I think you'd have a good chance of any picking it up but maybe go for an early one just in case. The first response are the most sensitive I think. Good luck! 🤞🤞

@Beautyangel1 oh fingers crossed for you 🤞

I have spotting today and just get the gut feeling that AF is on her way. Got a bit emotional for the first time about it. Having a short luteal phase sucks but even more annoying knowing doctors don't entertain until 12 months of trying even though I know my Luteal Phase is 8-10 days 🙄 BBT was down slight today than yesterday too so everything pointing to me being out this month

Hope you're okay @DanceWithYourBalloon have you had a chemical before?

@Beautyangel1 by 14dpo i had a dye stealer on a first response and a faint but obvious line on an internet cheapy!

Got another positive OPK just now, even darker than yesterday.

Now I'm paranoid that it's my PCOS giving false positives rather than an actual peak, I've never had consecutive positives on OPKs before so I'm not sure what to think?

@lj2022 how long have you been trying now? Can you see if they will see you after 6 months instead?

@Duckandsarah I'm about to go into month 5 of trying but now nearly 6 months of short luteal phases. If it continues for a month or two I'll call them and ask about it. I've been taking vitamins to try and lengthen my Luteal phase might try progesterone cream this month too

@lj2022 I hope AF doesn't show her face for you 🤞🏻

@FourOclock yep. I had one in December, although I wasn't actively trying then.
I'm just hoping it's a couple of blips due to stress and covid.

Bleeding is underway properly now so I went and bought some fizzy wine and chocolate for this evening. On to the next month.

At least I won't have to explain away any non-drinking at Easter! 😊

Looks like ttc will start for me June now. Dh has eye operation date for end April so will need to heal after in May..
I am hoping for spring baby if June/July/August will hopefully be lucky
