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

@MO22 Definitely feel like we are sharing a similar experience x

@babyjellyfish Yayyy!! Finally some good news! Good luck with DTD. Hopefully @RMS0209 will get a positive ovulation result soon too!!

@pocketbunny agreed, nice to not feel so alone! It's weird because I never would have AF symptoms until about a day or so before it starts. Other thing I am wondering is whether having covid this cycle might have made my period earlier? Not sure if that is even feasible!

@RMS0209 how are you doing?

@Hjudge56

Had 2 massive cramps on one side in Waitrose, absolutely stopped me in my tracks. So much so I did a test when I got home. BFN obvs.

I’m honestly not even sure what to think anymore? Cervix still feels high and CM appears to be more white and milky but not loads it?

I'm 8DPO/CD22. Tested today with a One Step cheapie aaaaand bfn 💁‍♀️ looks like another month of testing until af arrives 🙄 (or bfp!)

@Kitchiekobo I’m exactly the same!!! We are cycle twins haha, and both 7DPO! So let’s keep our fingers crossed!

I’m in the BFN club too today! When will you next test? Weds/thurs will bring me 6 days before AF so may get a FRER for then but it will only be 9/10 DPO!

@babyjellyfish way hay yay to the positive ovulation!!
Thanks for thinking of me @pocketbunny  0.23 this mornings test!

Grr, also Sorry TMI...I have some thrush I think it's new wash stuff I got, do any of you think that could effect the ovulation? I'm getting some canesten tomorrow, nothing was open for today.
@MrsGrealish tagging you because you are wise with some pharmacy related queries 🙂

I'm ok thanks @MO22 just wish I knew what my body was up to! How are you doing? Staying positive I hope!! X

@RMS0209 tag away xx just thrush related queries?

I have done my HCG shot as per the doctor's instructions.

Shall I POAS for fun?

@Hjudge56
I think I’m going to hold off on testing until Sunday next week. I feel like another 6 days will ultimately decide or not. I should probably either have a period or BFP. I feel like my body is doing it’s thing.. but whether it’s gearing up for a period or not? 🤣 plus I appeared to have developed a headache this afternoon annoyingly.

@babyjellyfish yeahhhh go for it!

@RMS0209 no fluconazole (oral tablet) you are fine with canesten thrush cream and the pessary as long as you insert it with your hand not the applicator. It won't affect ovulation/conception unless you stop baby dancing 💃😅

@RMS0209 ugh I am with you, I am completely at a loss with what's going on with mine... Spotting brown so I have to assume it's my period but cannot fathom why is a week early and really devastated about it because it means there's something wrong I think, to get AF a week after ovulation. Unless ovulation didn't happen?

Only positive I guess is I took the progesterone test today so I suppose it will confirm that I didn't ovulate. Where to go from there though? Feeling very low.

Helloooo @MrsGrealish how you doing? Hope you had a LARGE wine x2 yesterday.
Yeah sorry, I've never had it before and panicked  and thought I wonder if this is why I ament ovulating? Guess not the answer? Ok cool so get the pessary and not the oral one?

@babyjellyfish good luck peeling on stick!!

@MO22 I am sending you big hugs, I am feeling sad today too... is it dark brown or light brown? Defo not implantation do you think? X

Hi all, just joining this thread. Would appreciate any advice please - I did a test earlier 10DPO. The faintest of lines came up after 10 mins (it says the test takes 5-10 mins) but several hours on has become much darker (see pics). I will get some more tests tomorrow but wondered if anyone had any thoughts? Do evaporation lines go that much darker? This process is so stressful! Thank your

@starryeyed13 what type of test is this?

@RMS0209 it’s a Cassanovum early pregnancy test. Unfortunately the only one I have in the house!

@RMS0209 yep 👍🏼 remember no applicator don't wanna risk irritating the cervix just in case. I had a HUGE glass of wine yesterday!! But it's a weird AF more pain than bleeding atm 🤷‍♀️

@starryeyed13 cool get more tomorrow but try hold off until Wed, will double every 48 hrs x

@MrsGrealish thank you so much! My hero. I'm on it tomorrow morning, hopefully I don't peak while I've inserted it haha.
Good, wine is deserved!
Oh really? That's strange! You feeling ok bar that? X

@RMS0209 DH taking me holiday shopping tomorrow 😊 plenty of holiday dresses and bikinis to cheer me up..maybe a new suitcase 😂
I was kinda wondering about the strange AF but the initial blood was so red there's no mistaking that for anything else

Hey guys, I am SO sorry if this is TMI and way too graphic but I am new at trying to spot implantation bleeding and cervical mucus changes and would like advice!!

The attached pictures show some marks in my knickers today from CM which I am thinking may look like very, very light blood?! Am I going mad or can you see it too?
Accompanied with it is a lot of cervical mucus which looks clear in the photo but when I wiped it was loads of white, sticky, lotion looking blobs 😂 all a bit confusing but I have had no blood on tissue when wiped. Just these two random marks in my knickers that look pinky.

Let me know your thoughts! I am 7DPO!

@MrsGrealish oh that sounds like a lovely day! I'd try get a lunch out of it too 🤪 when are you away again?
That is very frustrating, here was me making an April thread thinking we'd get some luck 😟
X

@MrsGrealish I've seen "implantation bleeding" online that looked to me like a night time pad covered in red blood... And the person was pregnant and ended up with a baby! I was astonished by the amount!

@RMS0209 I am wondering about thrush too!! I thought what I had was thrush but near impossible to get rid of but did some tests last year and my Dr said it's not thrush so now I don't know what that part of my body is doing or what it is or if the swabs weren't done correctly. It's never itchy, just a gluggy discharge sometimes and have seen my DH have specks on his thing after DTD :'(

@MO22 Thousands of women had their cycles affected by vaccination and covid!! When I hady vaccinations my cycles went to 29 days (instead of 26) and then dropped to 24 the month after to 'make up' for it. My colleague's didn't come for 35 days after her vaccination. It's a phenomenon!

@RMS0209 someone will get lucky! It's early days for most on the thread

@pocketbunny that would be like my actual Christmas miracle if that happened to me. The pain was pretty intense though but I will keep a close eye. No clots or anything yet so a lot different to normal. It's normally like a bloodbath (I'm on blood thinners) is tmi a thing on this thread anymore?😂

@pocketbunny I know, anecdotally my cycles after jab 1 & 2 were an extra week long! And I actually timed my 3rd one a week after I had surgery for a miscarriage as I knew everything was so screwed up at that point that having a third jab doing the same when I was in such a fragile space would have been a nightmare. For some reason I just didn't assume actually having covid this cycle would make my period early but it might be the reason?

I'm still just spotting brown stuff - @RMS0209 it's Def light brown and I can see it on a panty liner but it's not a full flow or anything. I've got cramps to match so have assumed AF but this has never happened this early. I just wish it would become red blood or go away, it's so bloody triggering at the moment as a reminder of my MC.

Sorry for the moans today, hopefully tomorrow will be better!

@MrsGrealish imagine if we were all just having an IB! Also we are way past TMI now gals...

@MO22 😂😂 yep as soon as I heard about the old swimmer plans I felt like there was no topic out of bounds😅 god that feels like ages ago it'll be my turn again soon 😭 (provided no miracles happen)
