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.

Hi everyone,

Me again with an 8DPO test - again I know it's so so early but unless I test it's all I think about!

Can anyone see anything? x

@ElleBelleLou I can see a faint line! Everything crossed for you!

Confusssed1 · 06/05/2022 13:02

I still think there might be a faint line! Good luck tomorrow.

ElleBelleLou · 06/05/2022 14:10

I'm glad others can see something! I've just taken this FRER as well - I think this could be a BFP starting 🙏🏻

Hi everyone, I'm back again hahaha

I'm so confused, so obviously AF is here, after my two faint positive CB earlies. Ive had nausea for over a week now, not like me at all, and usually any "pregnancy" symptoms I've felt beforehand just disappear when AF arrives but it hasn't this time, I'm still super emotional, feeling sick on and off throughout the day and I m so so tired. But along with all this, I've got excruciating cramps, now I'm usually a Day 1 and done for cramps but not this time. Anyone else had the same?

OH suggests testing again in a week just in case but I don't know what to do 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 00:13

@RBSK1 sounds just like a chemical pregnancy hun 😞 had too many to count now . This is the downside to testing early. Theyr extremely common but we only know from early testing if you waited for af you’d be non the wiser. Fun fact only 20% of fertilised eggs are successful pregnancies. most end up in chemicals 💜

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 00:14

@ElleBelleLou congratulations 🎉

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 00:16

Just entered 4dpo …dragginggggg 🙄😂 how are you doing @Organictangerine when are you going to start testing?

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 00:18

I forgot to add I had a spot of blood on o day this happened when I conceived my last 2 🤞 good egg burst . Wish we didn’t get cramps and tingly boobs naturally after ovulation I get excited then I’m like ohhhh too soon way too soon haha

LizzeyBenett · 07/05/2022 07:02

I'm only 1DPO first time trying after a MC on my first pregnancy in January and I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I'll be so devastated if it doesn't work this month as we probably won't be able to try next cycle.

TeddyBeans · 07/05/2022 07:53

Morning all! Sending congratulations to the BFPs and 💐 for the BFNs. I'm on CD7 of cycle number 5. I started temping this month - have attached my chart so far. I was poorly last week so that's what the big spikes are. It seems to have levelled out in the last couple of days. Started OPKs again today so we'll see how this one pans out.

Imma be asking a lot of questions about BBT (never done it before) so sorry in advance!

So, I'm CD14 today so could literally ovulate any day/moment now! Question now is we dtd CD 8, 10 and 11 if I have a normal cycle for me this month and I ovulate today have I still made it? Going to try and dtd again today but can't until late tonight (probably sometime after 10) as OH is at work.

LemonZestDribbles · 07/05/2022 15:05

@RBSK1 that does sound like a chemical :( hope you're as okay as you can be

@ElleBelleLou congratulations!!!

Only 5/6dpo and it feels like a lifetime. Few promising twinges but I think it might be all in my head 😩

mummyofrb · 07/05/2022 18:13

Sooo I'm now about 8dpo (I think🥴) been running round all day with my daughter and just started noticing really light pulling/cramping!!! Hoping sooo much it could be implantation I'm still a week off from period due! Going to have to keep myself away from tests this week!! Anyone have any thoughts on if this is positive sign???

I had this today as well, which is unusual for me - I’m 5dpo. It felt like mild period pains with one ovary squeezing if that makes sense?! Weird.

I’m also having the mild dizziness I had with DD!

Testing next weekend when I will be 12dpo - anyone else?

mummyofrb · 07/05/2022 19:36

@Organictangerine yess!! I am due to start af on Saturday so will be testing then!! I tested early last cycle and was just more upsetting to get the bfn more than af starting. I also think I need to wee more often but I'm aware that I'm symptom spotting so don't know if it's in my head🤣🤣 let's keep each other updated through the week!!

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 20:45

@kizzy97 your still in with a chance absolutely sperm lives 5 days inside so Youv got a few days in there 😌 even if you don’t tonight Youv still done it

Hopefulprincess · 07/05/2022 20:46

@mummyofrb sounds promising 🤞🤞 eeeeek

SweetPeaPods · 08/05/2022 09:15

Hi everyone
tentatively joining, Bfp means dc3 due 17th Jan. ds1 is 9 and ds2 is 7 so bit of an age gap. Obsessively checking pants for blood every time I go for a wee atm.

mummyofrb · 08/05/2022 09:26

@Organictangerine @Hopefulprincess cramps stopped today but woke up with metallic taste! How are you guys doing today?? X

TeddyBeans · 08/05/2022 09:58

@SweetPeaPods congratulations on your BFP! I think you're looking for a due Jan 23 thread though. This one's for TTC ❤️

Ah! It’s all heading in the right direction!

im ok thanks, having a lazy morning with DD, night garden is on & toys everywhere! My cramps have also stopped, just a waiting game now I guess… 6 days til test day 🗓

salia12345678910 · 08/05/2022 10:57

Hi all, hope everyone's well and is on the road to getting their BFP 🤞🏻
Was just wondering if I could get some insight on my current situation, I'm now 15dpo, have been bbt charting throughout the month & temps are still consistently high, sore breasts a few days ago which seem to be abit settled now, however I have been having acid reflux/bloating type symptoms in the evenings since the past few days, today I have woken up with AF like cramps/abdominal pain but no signs of AF, have taken 4 pregnancy tests since 11dpo but all negative on first response early detection! 🥺 what's the longest a person's leutral phase can be?

kizzy97 · 08/05/2022 11:12

@Hopefulprincess thank you! I thought that but then remember someone saying that's not actually true! Didn't get to dtd last night as DP was too tired after work but I'll still keep trying over the next few days just in case I ovulate late, I'll be testing on the 22nd when af due if she dosen't turn up and then my birthday is on the 25th so would be an amazing birthday present!

Catred4 · 08/05/2022 13:14

@salia12345678910 could you share your chart? Would be interesting to see, certainly sounds promising although the negative tests are really weird. I follow a method that suggests 18 high temps in a row is mostly likely pregnancy unless there's anything causing the high temps like fevers etc x
