TTC APRIL

[RMS0209]

Hi!
Making a thread looking for some company/support
I'm currently going into cycle 4, trying to conceive baby 1.
Looking for others in similar situation.
Beginning to feel a bit deflated now, as I am sure many many others are too.
Trying some things different this cycle to hopefully get a BFP
•ordered an Ovusense core
•carrying on with my reflexology weekly
•Trying the SMEP method
•Hot water bottle after ovulation as I read someone else done on here
•carrying on with my supplements

Any other advice/recommendations/suggestions welcome

May April be the months of lots of BFP's 🌟.x

Anyone's LH levels rise slightly and then drop? I have had this the last two cycles and wonder am I trying to ovulate and failing.

My levels were at 0.23, rose to 0.49 for two days and have dropped to 0.23 and 0.15. I also have watery CM at the moment.

Something similar happened last cycle and I did have an LH surge a few days later.

@alwaysseeingstars the smiley faces winding you up?? 😂

@QueenBee22 what cycle day are you?

@MeganMama28 10dpo and a big fat not pregnant on a digital so that's me out too. I'm pretty crampy too. Saving the last FRER if by some miracle my period doesn't arrive.

@RMS0209 abso-bloomin-lutely! I love being happy and upbeat in the mornings but my god that smiley face drives me crackers 😂 how are you doing, must be near your peak? x
@QueenBee22 sorry I have no experience with those tests, lots of knowledgable ladies on here though :)

@MrsGrealish oh no, sorry it was a BFN this morning.. sending hugs and keeping fingers crossed for you!

Good luck everyone else for lots of bfps!! My friend who lives in Scotland actually gave me an airslap for considering pregnancy again @RMS0209

@RMS0209 I am CD17.

Ovulated at CD 22 last month.

@MrsGrealish

Sorry to hear about the BFN. Very disheartening. Hopeful your period doesn't show up.

@QueenBee22 thanks xx was sick of staring at lines so did the digital. Brought me down to earth with a thud though.

My lh levels had a peak at 0.9 on day 10 then dropped then surged again on day 12 but not as high. I read a lot about the easy@home and when they start to surge they recommend doing them 3 times a day?! Very impractical imo

@alwaysseeingstars haha they are the worst! I've stepped away from them this month now.
Cheapie strips highest it's got is 0.40 and I'm CD16, boo hoo

@MrsGrealish sorry about BFN (no air slap today!!)

@QueenBee22 ok you are a day ahead of me, I haven't had a peak either... hopefully soon.

@MrsGrealish

I'd never manage three times a day anyway. I have to do them first thing in the morning as once I drink anything they drop a a lot. I would do twice a day if the levels are high but I only ever got a peak first thing in the morning.

@RMS0209 my cycles are long so not expecting it for another 5 days or so. Hopefully soon for both of us.

So sorry @MeganMama28 and @MrsGrealish, I tested this morning and got a BFN too. I’m pretty sure I’m out, not feeling it this month and I’ve only go a few more days before af begins now.

Gutted honestly but decided i’m going to put all my energy in to losing some weight this month and hoping that helps a bit, we’ll see I guess!

@Hello47 ❤️

@Hello47 so sorry to hear that, hope you're ok. I know what you mean about the weight loss, definitely takes some energy and headspace when you're trying to efficiently lose weight! I managed to lose 2 stone using Noom last year, and have put a stone of it back on

CD17 here and ovulation day. It's a day later than usual so I'm hoping that doesn't mean my luteal phase will be a day shorter, as it is already too short!

Oh Positive Polly isn't feeling to positive!
A bit deflated... CD16 and the highest my OPKs have got was 0.46! Sorry to repeat myself, feeling sad.. don't want to let OH know, trying to hold it together x

Someone needs a positive! Ffs girls, it can’t be me so I’ve got all my hopes pinned on one of you. Usually when I’m not pregnant everyone bloody is 😅

@Longbin I'd be happy with a positive ovulation test at this stage! X

@Longbin 😂 feeling a bit more positive when I looked into the hcg threshold of digitals and it's 25 units. I was never making that. Taking the final FRER Sunday. Did an OPK which was really dark so it's either AF coming soon or positive 🙏 xx

@RMS0209 sorry you're feeling sad, I was exactly the same a couple of days ago.. time goes so slowly when you're waiting doesn't it? In the end I only ovulated a day later than usual but it felt like forever. Fingers crossed for a positive OPK for you soon

@RMS0209 I thought u used clear blue? All this talk of flashing smileys is confusing me 😅 don't give up you've got this. Keep going with the eod 😘

@MrsGrealish I feel a positive is coming your way!! A dark OPK is definitely a good sign right now! I have my fingers crossed for you

@Longbin I was just so happy seeing 2 bright lines..pity it was on the wrong test😅

@MrsGrealish no slaps for taking on Sunday!
I normally do the CB and the easy @ home's, but I am sulking with CB after the fake peak.. so just been doing the easy @ home's with my ovusense... none of which are registering anything yet...
Ps fab news about the OPK... everything crossed for you for Sunday!!!!

@Nyxxie thank you! I don't want a pitty party but I just feel deflated and sad, I want to be my old happy self sooo much. And I am getting sick of "making love" I love him so much but it's beginning to become a chore and can tell the two of us are running out of steam. X
