TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

My DH told me during last fertile week he felt used🤨..obviously felt a bit guilty when he said that so now I'm giving him all the space he doesn't seem to want now 🤷‍♀️😂😂 bloody men

Have a lovely holiday @MrsGrealish when do you go!

@MO22 thank you!! Really really early Sunday morning..the kind of early were I'm thinking is there any point sleeping?

@MrsGrealish ha always a good idea when booking the flights and they're the cheapest right!

The weather was amazing last week so hope it's the same for you too!

I've done another OPK out of curiosity & it's higher at 1.16 3 hours later!
Soooo surely this means ovulation or could it be that high pre-AF?🤔
Hoping covid has done me a favour & given me another shot by delaying O, as felt too poorly to DTD around what I thought was my fertile week!

Hello been catching up on this thread - good to see some familiar posters. I'd appreciate any views on my current situation. I usually have a regular 26/27 day cycle and have been ttc since Christmas. I track and had a peak on CD16 with my app estimating CD17 for ovulation. I dtd on CD11, CD13 and CD16. I then was late and on CD32 started getting some brown and pink light bleeding, followed by two days of bleeding that only filled a third of a pad the first day and a quarter the next but it was more of a red colour (no clots). Today it's just a bit of pinky discharge when I wipe and nothing on the pad. I used my last test and got a BFN on CD30. The only other symptom I have had is nausea but only when I eat randomly for past week - boobs which are usually agony before AF have been fine. I suspect this is a weird period rather than an IB though obviously I desperately want it to be. I think I need to test to put my mind at rest but when would be likely to give an accurate result?

@Clairey3010 omg!! Jump DH

@RMS0209 sorry you think AF is on the way, I will still keep hoping that it's implantation bleeding. I've had implantation bleeding with 3 out of my 5 pregnancies. That's differed from one pink dot on a tissue and pink cm.

I'm having a bit of a freak out this evening. Peed on another test and it's no darker and then I started panicking wondering if it's left over HCG from my last loss. Then realised I'd had negative tests since. Then thought what if they were faulty..or less sensitive. Got quite bad cramping too like the day my last miscarriage started (my only natural one) so I'm just stressed. I also feel sick but I don't know if I feel sick because I feel stressed 😩

Sorry I've been quiet and missed loads. Hope everyone is ok?
I've started OPKs just the cheap ones someone on here recommended so I just get pink lines, the test line has remained very faint, I'm unsure how quickly it should get darker to show any change.
I've also started weaning my DD (21 months) off bf as I am wondering if that's effecting my hormones and preventing pregnancy, I did have a chemical preg a few months ago so confident I am ovulating but maybe the lack of hormones prevented it implanting? I don't know. I wish I was one of those that can carry on bf and get pregnant because my DD loves the comfort and I love the cuddles and quiet time😥she'd love a sibling though, she's obcessed with babies so I guess the trade off would be worth it if it works 🙏

Have you done one of the clear blue weeks indicator ones?

@pocketbunny ha thanks I thought so too I was very hopeful this month after all that but still no luck. I don't know how I found the energy!

@PeanuttyButter congratulations!

@RMS0209 sorry to hear that. Hope you are okay. I will be right there with you next month!

@Tigergirl37 your symptoms are sounding really positive l. I've read that it can take 3/4 days for the hormone to show in urine after implantation bleeding. I hope this helps xx

@Mummamama it's too early I'm only 11dpo so it's either going to come up negative or 1-2 weeks. I know I'm just having a freak out

Hi everyone, I was on the last thread but am yet to post on this one.

I was doing a monitored cycle and I ended up ovulating about 10 days later than I was expecting to. Timed my HCG trigger shot wrong too because I wasn't able to get an ultrasound over the Easter weekend.

Anyway, my pregnancy tests are positive and I'm fairly sure it's a true positive and not just the trigger shot taking a long time to leave my system. Waiting on blood test results now...

@babyjellyfish fingers crossed for you! When should you get your blood results?

@babyjellyfish that's amazing 💕 fx xx

I had 5 MC when TTC my first so as far as I'm concerned a positive test is just a positive test...but it's a good start. Hoping to get my first blood test results tomorrow, then I'll be doing my next blood test on Friday.

@babyjellyfish it's so difficult after mc. Sending all the positive vibes your way! Like you say though a good start! xx

Hope all goes well @babyjellyfish - great news

Really appreciate your advice @MrsGrealish and enjoy your holiday

Hi ladies wondering if i can join on this thread😊

I have been trying to conceive for 3 years with baby #4, i miscarried in October last year and just seem to be having no luck, i have bought some ovulation tests and the seven seas ttc tablets this month, my app predicts my ovulation on Friday cd 15 although im sure my opk is positive today on cd 13. Has anybody used the seven seas and ovulation tests and been successful?

@RMS0209 sorry you might be out this month. Is the reflexology supposed to help with conception then?

Hi @Tropicana1, I can put money on being out this month now I have some stronger cramps today... I tend to start spotting properly about DPO13, so tomorrow I guess.. we will see!

Yes it is, my lady is lovely and it helps me relax but I don't think it's working for me :( x

Hi @Deemama21 , sorry I can't help but I do take the seven seas tablets - I like how small they are!!
@babyjellyfish oh wow, keeping everything crossed for you! :)
@PeanuttyButter how you doing this morning?
@RMS0209 ah sorry about the cramping, definitely not ruled out completely yet so fingers crossed!
@Kitty901 oh, you poor thing - agree that must be horrible to see! All I will say is that they absolutely haven't come to that conclusion, I imagine it's just them wanting to check for it rather than a diagnosis - sending hugs. Before my diagnoses of HCM and basilar migraines, all my records stated Epilepsy even though they hadn't done the majority of the tests they wanted to do to rule it out! So please don't stress!
@MrsGrealish haha you can't win with men hey!

Morning! @alwaysseeingstars nope that's me out... cramping today and spotting is going more red than yesterdays pink... it's ok, im ok..,I just HATE this stage, waiting for AF to appear... sometimes I have 2/3 days of it then my 5/6 days of AF 🥲 onto the next cycle! X
