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

@RMS0209 fair enough😂...I forgot about the fake peak..also fallen out with clear blue too (dodgy high threshold pregnancy tests😡)
Well it can be a sign of AF too but at least something may happen soon xx

@MrsGrealish I'm sure CB will be upset with me 1 person striking with them when I'm sure every female uses them haha.
so sticking with my easy at homes this month and seeing... if I ever get a peak 😅

Well I hope it's a positive, you deserve it 🥰 xx
Now just sit on your hands until Sunday 😂

@RMS0209 I'm back at work tomorrow. In a pharmacy. That only stock clearblue. Believe me there will be no temptation.

Morning everyone, sorry we're all having it a bit rough with BFN and damn low OPKs and smug flashing smileys.

I hope the sun is out where you all are and everyone gets outside today, when I'm feeling down a walk always makes me feel just a tiny bit better. (And a coffee!)

I know the stress of waiting for ovulation, and like @Nyxxie says, it feels like forever but I hope it's just a bit late.

I'm 4 DPO and absolutely nothing going on bar some bloating (Def just a progesterone symptom as I get it every months). I think I'm going to do the blood test to check if I'm ovulating as I'm a bit worried I'm not... I think it needs to be done 7 days before period, has anyone done it?

How is everyone holding up today?

@MO22
Morning!

Goodness... very foggy and wet here! Willing to swap if you have sun? Ha ha.
I am on a half day today so makes it a little better.
Not much to report CD17 and to scared yet this morning to do an OPK don't know if I can handle another low result.

Yay for being in the DPO crew!
Yes I have asked my DR about this and he said 7 days before period, I've not had it done yet but I hope you get good results. Let us know . X

I'm also feeling down... Had my usual period-esque pain today that I get a week or so out from AF so feeling sad about that! Also have family visiting next year which if I was pregnant now I'd be on maternity leave during their visit, but alas, will be working if this month's not successful. Just have to let things be...

I wonder how many people go through this and speak to no one. It makes me feel crazy enough and I have people to talk to!!!

Sorry to read of all the BFNs. Hopefully some AFs don't show up! I would be so happy to see some BFPs- for any of us. It is so sad that wanting a baby isn't enough to bring one :(

Lilipa · 15/04/2022 08:59

Hi all! I hope you don't mind me joining this thread.
The past 3 years we've had 4 miscarriages (the last one was an IVF baby absolutely healthy).
I want to try naturally this period because I have a positive feeling.
My doctor saw an egg that was 15cm two days ago (on Wednesday morning) and said I should have an intercourse in two days. Does anyone knows if I'll have it tonight as opposed to this morning if it means I will have lost the window?
We can't have it before tonight unfortunately!

MeganMama28 · 15/04/2022 10:18

I was feeling so down yesterday I know it's ridiculous as it's cycle 1 but we have postponed TTC since December so I feel like it's further in than that.

@pocketbunny so sorry you were feeling down too. Sending hugs.

@RMS0209 yep with you with DTD I put it in our shared calendar and then I look at it and think wow is this life 😂 looking forward to doing it when we're actually in the mood!

@MrsGrealish sorry for you BFN at 10DPO too but sounds good about your OPK! If AF hasn't shown by Sunday morning I'll do another FRER too. Have everything crossed for you!

MeganMama28 · 15/04/2022 10:23

@MO22 totally agree about the sunny walks and coffee ❤ much needed!

Hi! @Lilipa I don't know the answer I am afraid but if the doctor didn't specify a time I would like to think you'd be ok to do tonight? X

@MrsGrealish omg a line! 👀 How many DPO are you?

@pocketbunny sorry you are feeling down. I think you can't trust any symptom in the TWW to determine anything, it's all bonkers progesterone playing tricks so I don't think you're out! It's such early days. I know what you mean about living in the future a bit, my therapist said I need to get off "future island" because I can't predict anything and it's just a waste of time lol, she's quite no nonsense Grin

@RMS0209 let us know if you test, fingers crossed for a peak!

MrsGrealish · 15/04/2022 11:30

@RMS0209 I mean it was a cheapie 😂 don't be too hard on me. I'll upload a pic but it's an absolute squinter

@MrsGrealish also crossed for you for Sunday, we could do with some BFPs plz!

babyjellyfish · 15/04/2022 15:37

Hi everyone, I've been a bit quiet for the last week or so.

I'm having the looooooongest cycle eeeeeeveeeerrrrrrr.

I've had four ultrasounds in the last two weeks and my follicle is growing so slowly. And now of course it's the Easter weekend so I can't get another blood test or ultrasound until Tuesday.

I think the plan is to do another ultrasound on Tuesday morning and do my trigger shot then if everything is looking OK, unless I get a positive ovulation test over the weekend, which I think is unlikely.

My follicle is now 15mm and my estrogen is finally starting to rise, so hopefully I'll see some proper EWCM this weekend.

In other news, my boss wants me to go to Canada next month. It feels like I only got back from maternity leave about five minutes ago (although it's been nearly 6 months) and so I can hardly tell him I'm already trying for baby no.2. And since my cycle is so whacky, I can't even predict with any great accuracy when I'm likely to ovulate next if I don't get pregnant this cycle. So on the basis that if I ovulate some time next week I'll be testing in the first week of May, I think the safest thing is if I try to arrange a trip to Canada for the second week of May, and then when I get back I'll either be able to go for an early pregnancy ultrasound, or start monitoring my next ovulation.

Eek.

babyjellyfish · 15/04/2022 15:39

By the way, I have decided that I do not rate the Clearblue ovulation tests.

I was getting those goddamn flashing smileys on days when I know my estrogen was low because of my blood test results. Grrr.

MrsUSAinUK · 15/04/2022 18:18

Hey all - checking in! Got a solid smiley today from CB purple and got a peak on easy@home so feeling optimistic that things are happening! DTD EOD this cycle thru yesterday and now doing every day for a few days. This pushes up my test date to April 25/26.

@MrsGrealish praying for darkening lines!

@RMS0209 ovulation twins!!

@MrsUSAinUK woo hoo! What cycle day are you? Hoping I get a peak tonight/tomorrow morning ... running out of steam 😅x

Tor2022 · 15/04/2022 20:21

@Longbin thank you, that's useful.

@MO22 I'm not expecting anything to happen, despite feeling like I just want to get pregnant again straight away! It took 7 months this time, and prior to that it was 6 months leading to a very very early miscarriage.

I don't think that I have ever got the hang of ovulation strips. I have the prenom app, but never seemed to be able to find the surge?

MeganMama28 · 16/04/2022 06:29

@MrsGrealish we might have been! With my DS I got a line on a FRER at about 11DPO which is why I thought I might get a faint at 10DPO this time around but every pregnancy is different in terms of when you implant I guess? Covid messed up my cycle so AF is due anytime between tomorrow and Tuesday. Fingers crossed you get a positive tomorrow! I may test if I have no AF symptoms 😬

@RMS0209 lines are looking good!!! 🥳
