I’ve just caught up.. @MrsGrealish i am SO happy for you!!! You know I’ve read quite a few comments the last couple months of people who have fallen pregnant the month they least expected it because of not DTD much or thinking it was too many days before ovulating! So interesting!

sending you alllllll the sticky bean dust!!!!

MO22 · 10/05/2022 22:19

@MrsGrealish catching up, that line is amazing, congratsssss

I missed the message but what are these magic pills? I will immediately buy them ha

Mummyme87 · 10/05/2022 22:30

Fab line @MrsGrealish congratultions!!

I’m 4DPO today, looooong TWW.

allthingssparkly · 11/05/2022 07:14

Thank you @alwaysseeingstars so sorry to hear about your chemical 😓 sending baby dust to you ⭐

Thank you @RMS0209 Vitabiotics do the folic acid 400ug with vit B12 combined I may try those.

alwaysseeingstars · 11/05/2022 08:18

Thanks @allthingssparkly 😊you too!

Very confused this am, did a CB ov test (I know I said I wasn't going to but hey 😉) fully expecting to see another blank circle or a smiley face, to go on for many days, but had a static smile. The last few months I've had peak on CD22, 20 and 19 I think and today is CD12?! Wondering if it's a false peak like you had @RMS0209 🤔or if my body has just decided to mix things up a bit (wouldn't be surprised as I've never been regular)
Why are bodies so confusing!!

Hjudge56 · 11/05/2022 10:57

Ladies who have had a Chemical previously…

Did you find your next cycle was different? Did you ovulate later? I’m due to ovulate today/tomorrow and no sign of EWCM or usual ovulation cramps so I’m thinking it may come towards the end of the week. Last month I had a chemical and was 8/9 days late for AF y’see.

RMS0209 · 11/05/2022 11:08

Ladies.... can I ask my question of the day? How long does your AF last? I used to be 5 days but since catching Covid in Jan I'm 6+ now... just wondering x

Normally 4-5 days, but sometimes 6 or even 7. The heavier it is the shorter it tends to be, if it’s lighter it sort of drags out.

alwaysseeingstars · 11/05/2022 11:21

@Hjudge56 I ovulated a few days later the month after the chemical.
@RMS0209 4 days, or 4.5 on my last one! Not sure re the affects of Covid, luckily I've avoided it so far! x

RMS0209 · 11/05/2022 11:26

@alwaysseeingstars ugh how frustrating! I did my best to avoid it... I'm still that person wearing masks in the supermarket along side the 70+ year old ladies 😂
It's just a long 6/7 days, wish she'd go away! X

@RMS0209 mine are usually 3 days and more recently they have been 5-7 while TTC. Our bodies are cruel

Tropicana1 · 11/05/2022 13:23

@RMS0209 usually 5 days now, used to be longer. I do find though that up to day 7/8 I can br finished but then will get some occasional post period spotting or slightly tinged CM

Mummyme87 · 11/05/2022 13:37

my period used to be 4-5days post two babies, then had ectopic, mirena coil and now period is 3days plus a day of brownish discharge. My cycles used to be a solid 26days bit since all that is now 22-28days

Hi. 👋 Can I join please?

First month TTC, finally had the Clearblue smiley face this morning and DTD. Not expecting a first time success but excited to start the journey. ☺️

Hoping smiley will be flashing tomorrow or the day after, will be giving it our best shot!

RosyappleA · 11/05/2022 18:23

@RMS0209 mine are long 7 days and heavy so changing pad several times a day/night on 4 of those days. However, I am going to see if it is due to low progesterone. Waiting to do my day 21 blood test I bought online from medichecks.
@jammyrose welcome and good luck!
Also everyone, does the thread usually end now and we need to start a new one? Has a new one been started already?

RMS0209 · 11/05/2022 18:25

@RosyappleA we get 1000 comments before a new thread is needed, this is thread 2 :) x

12dpo maybe?

Omg congratulations!!! ❤I haven't really been following with the comments since my AF came and i felt defeated and just realised you are pregnant how exciting!!!🤩
I am back to the game again haha ovulation day for me today! But on month 6 now i think so no longer getting excited by peak tests 🤣i just had enough of it all🤣

MrsGrealish · 11/05/2022 20:01

@Kitty901 thank you so much! Little bean is making presence felt today..was sick after dinner and boobs are starting to hurt. The only time when feeling sick is a good thing xx

This was cycle 5 for me and I was on the verge of quitting. Sending all my baby dust your way ❤️

Aww how nice! ❤I was never sick with my first and never had a single pregnancy symptom except the kicks if that counts as a symptom!
Thank you, i just remembered that i got pregnant when i gave up hoping and thought it will never happen, i am reaching this stage again so fingers crossed it happens soon🤣 a bit shy to admit but i need a break from sex too!

RMS0209 · 11/05/2022 20:31

@Kitty901 I hear you! This is our cycle 💖

OP posts:
Hjudge56 · 11/05/2022 21:00

Sending so much baby dust your way @Kitty901 i think ill be ovulating over the next few days so we’ll
be at a similar point! DTD sunday, last night and tonight so hopefully some sperm left over for the next few days as I’m not sure we’ll get another chance!

Kitty901 · 11/05/2022 21:25

Thank you ladies, you are so supportive, lets hope this is our cycle! Wish it to everybody, it will happen eventually and when it does it is amazing ❤

alwaysseeingstars · 12/05/2022 08:40

@MrsGrealish how exciting!! Sounds so silly to be happy over being sick and having painful boobs but it's for a fantastic reason xx

RMS0209 · 12/05/2022 09:23

Well ladies.. appears like AF has finally left the building! CD7 for me today.
Think I might try SMEP method again but start day 10 rather than 8?
How are you all? Anybody got any new secret tips or hints to share 😂
Hoping this is the month of BFP's for us all 💖 x
