Hi all,
I'm new to the site and this whole TTC journey so I would really appreciate your wealth of wisdom, knowledge & experience here!
I came off BC Sept 2021, have been TTC since then (first few months were hit and miss due to body readjusting to cycles again etc so not overly concerned about that)
In December I had a heavy bleed 2 weeks after my "period" which unfortunately turned out to be a Chemical pregnancy.
Hard to tell at this stage exactly what my "normal" cycle length is having recently experienced that and not long coming off BC anyway but my last period was 9th>13th Feb (normal amount of days for me with what I believe to be around a 30 day cycle) and I'm now on CD14 which I believe is when most Women experience Ovulation. I have been testing (Clear Blue Advanced Digital) since 13th and have so far seen 7 days (7 being today) of the 'High Fertility' smiley face (I know this varies with everyone however the reason I have grown slightly concerned is because in the previous 3 months of testing, I usually averaged only 3/4 high fertility days before seeing the 'Peak Fertility' static smiley face so this unusually long for me?
For the majority of these days I have also been testing twice a day, once first thing in the morning and then once in the early or late evening (as not to miss the LH surge)
Various apps are predicting me to ovulate anytime between tomorrow and 26th so I'm still holding out hope and I think if unsuccessful this month, I will start tracking my BBT as additional confirmation.
I am generally not concerned about my fertility as I have, (and I know this can be quite taboo/sensitive due to different views, so please no hate towards this extremely personal decision) previously terminated a pregnancy in the past.
Any tips from absolutely anyone or from those who have been in a similar position to myself would be amazing and would help to put my mind at ease!
I have read so many amazing comments and threads of Women who never saw a static smiley but fell pregnant and equally, some that ovulated quite later but still fell pregnant etc. so I know everyone's body is totally different!! But seeing as I was previously someone who saw the static smiley only after a few days of high fertility, and given the fact I recently went through a CP, I would like some advice please?
Thank you so much to all you current Mum's, expecting Mum's and those TTC future Mum's out there! :)
