Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

[GoT1904]

Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

@Hjudge56 yes 2 days before expected AF xx ttc is such a nightmare and the more you want it the harder it seems ❤️

Ah well that’s good to know @MrsGrealish !
ive heard all variations of people getting BFP as early as 8DPO and then some not until a few days after AF is late!

I really hope we all get BFP’s ASAP!!!

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I’m so sorry, sending you lots of hugs 🤗

@ArcEnCiel2022 Thank you 😊

congrats to everyone who got their BFPs this month

sorry for all that got caught by AF or suffered losses, let’s stay together and carry on supporting each other for this new cycle TTC 1st babies of 2023 🤞🏻

Has anyone had any experience, good or bad, with supplements? I have a whole basket full on my bedside table. Always take folic acid but never too sure in the rest. CoEnzyme, Vitamin D, Baby Aspirin I keep in case of BFP as I have heard a lot it can help prevent MC. The other one I have is Procieve, saw some really positive stuff on that so brought some but then saw some not so positive stuff so really torn to take it or not

Also, if anyone is willing to share of course, I was interested in how old we all are and how long everyone has been TTC?

I am 40 and been TTC since Sep 21, got BFP Oct 21 but MC Dec 21, now starting 5th cycle TTC since MC. Thought my body had finally regulated for the first time last cycle as everything seemed normal but now I have AF and it’s really light, which is not normal at all for me so now doubting if my hormones are still not right still
Why is this so hard

@Sarahmayo I don't really know about supplements. At the moment I'm taking Pregnacare before conception and vitamin C. I've been wondering about aspirin, I'm seeing my GP later today, I think I will ask about it.

I'm 37 (will be 38 next month), started TTC in July 21, BFP in August, MC in September, BFP again end of October, MC in December. Like you I'm now in the 5th cycle! Really concerned that my body is not working properly now, and that I have an hormonal problem (that's why I'll see my GP today). For me it's the contrary, my period is heavier than it was before, and last longer, with a few days of spotting before and after, and my luteal phase is getting shorter every month... Let's hope this is our cycle! 🤞🌈

I wasn’t planning on testing but I’ve been feeling a bit different this month. Lmp 26th March, 26 day cycle. Had a small amount of brown discharge yesterday which I thought was my period but it didn’t came. Had tender breasts for a few days. I’m not sure if there’s a line or just wishful thinking as a few people I know have announced their pregnancies in the last week.

@Hjudge56 I didn't get my BFP until 12DPO, Got a very faint line at 11DPO, think implantation was early morning at 10DPO xxx

@Piggieperson definitely a line, I can see it without even clicking on it! Congrats xxxx

That’s good to hear @Graceybaby !

I have had a BFN this morning at 10DPO on FRER, CB ultra early and a cheapie :(

I really thought I had IB on 7DPO and have been so excited but If that was true I would have had a BFP this morning.

I have all the symptoms and been really struggling with very sore nipples, fatigue, bloating etc.. I really thought I was pregnant this month!

@Piggieperson definitely a line!! Congratulations!

what DPO are you?

@Hjudge56 thanks. 17dpo I think. I wasn’t testing ovulation, just using an app.

@Graceybaby thanks.

Morning all! Just wanted to pop on again with a quick question please? Finally finished AF and I’m on cycle day 7. My clear blue fertility monitor has given me a high reading this morning and the OPK has given a low reading although this was the same figure I had before I had my peak. Is this normal?! This is only my second cycle but I peaked on day 12/13 last time so this seems CRAZY? Thanks! Should I dtd??

@TSunshine Do you mean you had a flashing smiley? If that's the case it's normal to have that before a positive OPK, because the clearblue one is detecting first the oestrogens which are rising a few days before ovulation and then when you get the static smiley it's the LH peak. The OPK are detecting only the LH, which is rising only just before ovulation. I have been using the clearblue during 2 cycles, and then decided to stop them because I was getting 9 days of flashing smileys before my peak, and they are so expensive! But that said, if I were you I would dtd just in case because your reading at 0.48 is not that low so maybe you are already approaching your peak! I'm CD10 and my reading is only 0.15.

@ArcEnCiel2022 Thanks for replying! Ah that makes sense! I’m not using those sticks, I have a little monitor where you put those sticks in, if that makes sense 😂 But I’d also stopped using them last month as they were expensive!! So it just says low, high or peak. It says it had detected estrogen rise this morning so you’re right! I think I’m just freaked out because I thought I had a few more days and I’ve literally only just stopped AF? 😳 perhaps things are all over the place after coming off the pill! Hopefully I don’t peak for a few more days! Xx

Hey ladies! :) I have returned. I took a little break from MN after being sad about early AF and remembering my last PG. I have had a lovely Easter break though and birthday. :)

@PositivelyPrehistoricMom I am so sorry for your loss. :( it's good like you say, you know you can catch on. Hopefully you'll be more fertile this month? But still, I'm sending so much love your way xxx

How are our preggers ladies doing??

I'm CD 8 now. :) I o'd on CD 11 last cycle, so I'm hoping its a little later this cycle and that my LP is a little longer too. I always had 31 day cycles before the pill, but I know it can take a while to regulate. Hoping this is the month for many of us <3 xxx

Hi all!

I've been lurking and wanted to just say hello 👋🏻

I just got my BFP and EDD is Xmas day!🫢

Wishing you all luck with your BFPs, would love to have some other mums in the same boat I could chat to.

Xx

@GoT1904 So glad your feeling better after your little break, it's good to step away sometimes.. if I'm honest I'm already feeling the same about the December babies chat I'm apart of.. it's quite overwhelming!

But as far as how I'm feeling, I'm all good, zero symptoms still.. and I mean literally nothing.. it was the same with my son so got me thinking it's another boy? But maybe this is just how my bodies deals with pregnancy 😅

Really hoping this is your month!! 💜

@Ginfizz90 Congratulations 🎉 My EDD is Christmas Eve! 😱

Xxx

Also hope you don't all mind me still lurking.. really want to stay in contact and see you ladies get your bfps!

xxxx

Hi everyone! I'm back after sulking for a few days and now ready to take on the next cycle! Currently CD6 and expecting to ovulate on CD 12. That coincides with a weekend away in Cardiff so planning on letting my hair down and not stressing too much. I WILL be drinking and enjoying myself. I've been so strict with myself and nothing has happened yet so thought I'd try a different approach!! X

@GoT1904 It's great that you had a nice break and birthday! Hopefully this cycle will be more normal for you! 🤞

@Ginfizz90 Congratulations for your BFP! ❤️

@41andtryingforfirst That's a good approach! Maybe being more relaxed will make a difference 🤞

@Graceybaby of course, it will be nice to still have you around 😊

CD11 for me, I'm expecting ovulation CD14 or 15 based on my previous cycles, so I think I've entered in my fertile window!

Hi all, my body is driving my up the wall.

The implantation bleeding I thought I had is now 2 and a half weeks ago, I'm still testing negative and my period is nowhere to be seen on CD41. Going by previous months, I should have started spotting last Friday with AF on Monday.

Last night my OH told me that he's noticed my breath has been a bit 'rusty' the past week and my mouth does taste like a scrap yard which was my number 1 pregnancy symptom the last 3 times.

I guess I can't be pregnant if I'm getting negative tests still, but what is going on?!

@dinoparadise that sounds incredibly frustrating. Maybe call the GP and schedule a blood test as it may be that the HCG is still too low to be picked up? FX for you x

Thanks for your wishes @GoT1904 I’ve been feeling super sad about the loss. I think had I not been tracking and not taken a test I’d have just thought this was a particular heavy and emotional period but getting that positive result has really affected me but working towards a positive mindset and we can just try and have fun practicing more. Just at the tail end of it now and hopefully I’ll be more fertile. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still waiting for their BFP and those who have their BFP, are on track abs doing ok 👌 xx

I’m a bit (a lot) worried as I’ve had some brown discharge today. Been trying a few years for this and really don’t want to lose it, wish there was something I could do.

Think positive @Piggieperson. It can be totally normal in early pregnancy. FX for you xx
