CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

Hey everyone! I had mmc in feb and first month ttc this month. I'm symptom spotting my ovulation like mad and feel like I'm not ovulating. I've decided not to do ovulation kits because I will just drive myself crazy!!! Has anyone else ovulated with hardly any symptoms?? Thanks xxx

Catred4 · 04/05/2022 13:46

Hi Ladies, how are you all getting on? See some names I know and some new names 😊
Has anyone had a water infection when they were in their 'good' week? My app tells me I'm due to ovulate Saturday so wanted a good week but Monday i got a horrendous water infection, had to go urgent care yesterday and been put on antio biotics. It is starting to ease now so hopefully by tomorrow we can try again. Just like give me a break, doctor said we could try once I feel fine just wondering if anyone had similar?
Sending you all lots of Baby dust xx

funny you should say this!! i had a horrendous urine infection that lead to a kidney infection. was on abx for a week. this was about 2 weeks ago so around when i ovulated and think i was on abx when ovulating.

just got my bfp so it’s not a problem apparently!! dtd wasn’t very fun mind i must say and i probably shouldn’t have but… thank god i did 🥹

baby dust ✨✨✨

Did a clearblue 6days early test this morning which was BFN.
My AF would normally be every 21/22 days so due this Sunday but because I had the coil out I'm thinking it's going to be longer for AF to come back. So I'm not sure when to do another one. Maybe Wednesday.

Harriet669 · 04/05/2022 16:46

@2023wish @PeanuttyButter congratulations! Definitely BFP's 🎉🎉

Yep we’re both shift workers here (hence my username) but we get a lot of time off together so no excuse really. It’s hugely frustrating as I’m 42 and feel like time is running out and every month counts

i know paramedics and ecas work very long and exhausting hours… not surprised he is a bit low on the energy, definitely can’t help things.
fingers crossed for you, is he the same age as you?

Cherrymarket · 04/05/2022 17:07

Congratulations on the bios to those that have them, seems a lucky thread x

Cherrymarket · 04/05/2022 17:09

BFPs ** sorry autocorrect 😂

RBSK1 · 04/05/2022 18:42

Done another cb early one and it's come up lighter than the one yesterday?

AF due tomorrow I thought it would be darker by now if I was. Am I best to use FMW rather than dehydrated end of the work day one? 😂

HansBanans · 04/05/2022 19:46

@RBSK1 definitely try with FMU.

I got a BFN on Saturday at 11dpo on CB early and a BFN on Sunday evening with a clear and simple ultra early. AF was due today but no sign as yet so hopefully holds off and I get a BFP in the morning 🤞🏻

HeatherSnixx · 04/05/2022 20:27

Hey ladies, just popping on this thread for a bit of hope, had a MC In April and all hope has gone down the drain, reading your messages have really helped me bring it back, as we’re still trying! Had another insemination on the 1st of may so fingers crossed and baby dust to all! 🤞🏻💜💚

PeanuttyButter · 04/05/2022 22:32

@RBSK1 I've done the same but with internet cheapies. Pretty much no line on them, do t want to waste a frer... Might have to tomorrow though for reassurance.

@HansBanans good luck, you're not out until AF is here

Hopefulprincess · 05/05/2022 03:44

Congratulations on bfps!!!
@kizzy97 I got pregnant on the implant so there’s always hope with anything on that contraceptive 🙌🏻 After the depo/implant it does take the body a while to get back to normal . But any periods are good it means your ovulating 🙏🏻 Keep faith xx

Hopefulprincess · 05/05/2022 03:45

@HeatherSnixx good luck 😘

Hopefulprincess · 05/05/2022 03:51

@RBSK1 good luck for the morning 💖
soooooo I’m debating getting some of the pointless cheapie tests in just for my obsessive testing but then I don’t want false hope. For those not on previous threads I dipped 10 in water many came back + so my sinks pregnant clearly. But then also testing early means false hope regarding chemical pregnancies which are suuuuuuper common , and the indents on frer I’m not liking either as a line eyed test starer. Not sure which tests to try but I have to pee daily on one or atleast 5. Dilemmas I face at 2dpo 🤣

Choc2022 · 05/05/2022 04:11

Hello All,

New to the forum. First time ttc, month 1 and no kids. Ive used some apps but am doubting how good they are ( I have only input data for one month though). A few days late but BFN on those £1 tests from Tesco. Any reccomdentations (or what I should avoid) on

  1. Apps
  2. Ovulation tests
  3. Pregnancy tests?

Thanks in advance

Smcai · 05/05/2022 04:55

It's been so nice to see so many BFP's in the chat, congratulations to all of you and fingers crossed for everyone still waiting to find out.
I told myself earlier in this cycle that I wouldn't over analyze and just try to relax and see what happens. Well, that quickly went out of the window. Currently at 5DPO and a day of lower back pain and some mild cramping has sent my brain into overdrive trying to dissect symptoms. The TWW is always so hard, I wish we could just test already. How many DPO do you all normally start testing?

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 05:21

Got a BFN on my CB early this morning. Gutted. Just not to be this month!

Can't believe I had two faint lines then this one has nothing on it

HansBanans · 05/05/2022 06:05

@RBSK1 BFN for me too ☹️

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 06:08

@HansBanans my OH said maybe we have bad batch of tests. Can't afford to keep forking out £10+ on tests though!

Hopefully it will happen for us both soon xxx

LemonZestDribbles · 05/05/2022 10:22

@RBSK1 I'm so sorry :( that is absolutely rubbish

@allthingssparkly how are you getting on?

@2023wish congratulations!!!

@PeanuttyButter congratulations!!!

@Brunette1989 that sounds sore! Hope you're feeling a but better

@mummyofrb I don't tend to get any symptoms like pain or anything. Just increased cm. So sorry about your mmc ❤

@HeatherSnixx welcome! Sorry about your mc ❤

@Choc2022 welcome! I use one step ovulation tests, the app Flo (used femometer in the past) and I like Frer tests but they seem to have a lot of indents recently so beware:)

@Smcai I'm 3/4dpo and found myself googling rhr the other night at 2am when ds wouldn't sleep. I also said I wouldn't go symptom mental in tww 🤣🤣

That sucks! There really should be a cheaper FRER competitor they would rake it in!

anyone else around 3dpo? No symptoms for me, but then I didn’t get any with my last pregnancy at this stage apart from extreme tearfulness around 7dpo.

RBSK1 · 05/05/2022 10:39

Aaaaand AF has just arrived. See you all next month 😢

Brunette1989 · 05/05/2022 10:44

@2023wish oh wow congratulations, that's made me feel a lot better that we won't be completely ruled out just got to give it a good go the next few days hopefully 😊 xx

allthingssparkly · 05/05/2022 10:46

Hi @LemonZestDribbles still no sign of AF, will test tomorrow if nothing else happens in the meantime.

I feel different just can't put my finger on it.

Hopefully I have answers soon 🤞 x
