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

@MrsGrealish thinking of you! How are you doing?

Well... finally last night cycle day 23...looks like another cycle day 25 ovulation for me x

How is everybody! X

@Tropicana1 why do our bodies hate us 😂 mines peaked the day after OH went away... x

@RMS0209 yay for peak finally!!
Haha they're conspiring against us! I may just be over reacting 😂 haven't had any egg white CM and done another opk which is much more my usual negative so hopefully can get down to it next week pre-ov!

Hi everyone,

My app said I was due to ovulate on the 24th started testing (OPK) on the 22nd and have tested everyday since but all my tests are negative. I have regular 28-32 day cycles. I tracked my ovulation once before in November and my peak matched the app. This time around, that doesn't seem to be the case. My period is due in 9 days.

We DTD twice on the 18th (CD11) and I felt like I ovulated on the 21. I remember because we were out and I was cramping and felt a slight surge of CM.

Tested using a 25mIU/ml test yesterday (7DO) afternoon and it was negative. Super early I know, especially for that level of sensitivity.

I have had a few symptoms these past few days but they could be PMS so don't want to get my hopes up

I think I can see a faint pink line in the middle test. Test again in 2 days. Fingers crossed xx

@Tropicana1 fingers crossed for you it's next week when OH is home!

We are going to need a 3rd thread soon 🙂 x

@RMS0209 I'm absolutely shattered. I could sleep the day away. Dreading work tomorrow 😩 I got yelled at by a customer on Friday because we only had 3 months of HRT not the 6 months the dr prescribed. Like hun listen to the news there's a massive shortage 🙄

Thursday not Friday the days have all rolled into one 😩 Think I'll brave a test later to see if it's any lighter. Just want this nightmare over now

@MrsGrealish

I have also been testing early every month. I don' t think anyone ever learns really.

I have held out so far and am going to try wait until Wednesday which will be 12 DPO so just a few more days to go.

@RMS0209 great to hear your peak is finally arriving! The joys of a long cycle.

I am so annoyed, Thursday was the last day on the tablets and my period still haven't arrived. I just want it to come so that we can resume the ttc game 😕 feels like it was ages ago now

@RMS0209 glad to hear your peak is arriving! Any signs today/last night??
@MrsGrealish sending hugs.. hope you get to find out either way very soon so that you know what's happening.

9DPO today (@QueenBee22 are we in sync again? 😊) - had a lot of stress the past week though so not holding out much hope, especially after barely DTD in the FW!

@Kitty901 oh how irritating, fingers crossed it shows v soon....

@QueenBee22 was a stressful 23 days until it did appear I tell you 😂

Hi! @alwaysseeingstars how are you?
peak got even darker yesterday! So what did I do... go down to OH who's working away just so I was covered 😂 oopsie!

@MrsGrealish how are you doing?

Yay happy 9DPO ladies... what's the plan? To stay cool calm and collected?

I have my blood tests & scans on Thursday, in a weird way looking forward to it.
Once Ovusense confirms ovulation I will book my progesterone through my DR too 🙂
Not much else to report... but thanking you ladies for keeping me sane for another cycle (we are nearly there! 😂) how is everybody else doing? X

@RMS0209 morning! Ah bless you, I think that was a fab idea!! At least now you won't be thinking in the TWW that you haven't done enough. Plus, your OH must have loved it 😉

I'm ok thanks, just getting impatient 😂I think mostly because I don't think it's worked so I'd rather just know and stop thinking about it haha!
Can definitely understand you looking forward to it though, nice to get some clarity. Have you gone private? Sorry if already said, I may have missed it! x

@alwaysseeingstars
That's exactly it! I didn't want to be stressing the next 2 weeks if we had just tried!
Well.. I didn't get the welcome I expected but he was happy I went to see him so that's always nice 🤞🏻🙂

Aahhh... stay patient you are 9DPO, not long to go! 🤞🏻 why do you think it hasn't worked? It only takes 1 little guy remember 🐠

Definitely! No that's fine I'm not sure if I had mention it, I am going private for that it's AMH blood test & Ultrasound scan... hoping they might know why I peak so late now Grr x

@RMS0209 I would have done exactly the same 😂 don't blame you at all! Fingers crossed!!

@RMS0209 that would be great if you can get the answers to the late peak! Must be strange after being regular.
Haha this is true 😂love the 🐠!! not sure, just didn't get to DTD as much as I'd hoped, this past week has been super stressful and by this point when I had the CP I had some 'symptoms' and not really feeling any of that this time! Definitely doesn't rule me out though so 🤞🏻 x

@Catred4 glad to know I'm not the only crazy one! 🤪 a girl has needs haha.
How are you doing?

@alwaysseeingstars it's a little worrying but trying to put it to the back of my mind, feels weird only taking plain old folic acid this month... didn't change anything, very strange.
I have everything crossed for you this cycle to see a BFP! 🥰 x

@RMS0209 yeah all good thanks, 7DPO today. The last 2 days my temps have risen and the chart is starting to look like my only other pregnancy chart. Don't want to get my hopes up though!

@Catred4 this is my first time temping. I had a rise at 10DPO today is that a good sign? What did you pregnancy chart look like in terms of temperature rises?

@QueenBee22 yeah a second temp shift after 7dpo that stays high is a sign of a triphastic chart. Not every pregnancy chart is triphastic and not every triphastic chart is a pregnancy one but it is a good sign x

@QueenBee22 this was my first pregnancy - the rise at 8dpo made me think it was something to be cautiously optimistic about because normally my post ov temps are around 36.60 and it rose to around 37 from 8dpo xx

Forgot to attach @QueenBee22 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hey all, hope everyone is well!
Thank you all for replies to my post, lovely to hear stories from others and makes me feel less alone.

I am testing one test every morning with FMU (since 9dpo) but the lines don't seem to be getting darker.

I am still getting faint positives within the time window however so I'm hoping that's a good sign.

Has anyone else had experiences like this where the lines didn't get darker?

My period is due 1st June and I really hope this isn't a sign of a chemical pregnancy!

Love and prayers to all 💕
