New thread ladies - please add anyone I've missed 💕

@Mabelledox I can absolutely see that in the edited picture!!

@LuckyMoonstone yay, I thought it would 🥳

The reason it's gone 3DPO is that the first temp after the dip still was within your cover range, but great to have it confirmed anyway. I'm still waiting....I've had really low temps the last couple of days (around 36.14) and OPKs still well below 0.2. Frustrating!

@LuckyMoonstone mine is always after the dip too. I get O pains and it aligns for me but there are variations of how O shows for temping. What does your other charts look like? Do they say you O on your dip?

@Mabelledox I would check, I can't see the harm in taking it for another day just to be certain.

@curliegirlie what cd day are you? Have you started taking any supps or anything that could affect it? Mine went jumpy last cycle as I started taking a multi vit!

Hi everyone

I sort of dip in and out on these threads...sometimes I feel a bit overwhelmed by TTC.

I'm 36, been TTC #2 since November 2021, had one miscarriage in April followed by 3 chem pregnancies in a row.

DC #1 was conceived in 3 months, he's now 4.5 so that was a fair while ago now.

I'm going to the fertility clinic with my partner at the end of Sept for some investigations. Does it sound strange that I really hope they find something wrong so there's a possibility of any issue being 'righted'?

I'm now 17 DPO - no sign of AF but I'm not pregnant - I keep testing and each time is a BFN. I wonder if my period is late because of last month's chemical - and to be fair I don't even know if my period is late as I only track ovulation with OPK and goodness knows what sort of hormones were going on in my body last month, I'm wondering if opks were coming up strong confusing residual HCG in me with ovulation? (I was still testing positive on preg tests two weeks after bleeding).

I've been taking lots of supplements for the past couple of months - Ubiquinol, folate, conception supplement, omega 3, vit d.

I find it hard to not think about all this stuff - it's always there on my mind and I find connecting with people and work challenging. I have one new friend who is going through the same fertility challenges which has been really useful and buoying, and seeing these threads help too.

I don't really know why I'm posting this, I just wanted to say hi and wish you all luck and love on your journeys, it's tougher than I ever thought.
One thing that's come up on my mad googling about the 'lateness' of my period is pcos - but not sure I have any other symptoms but perhaps they're coming. Hmph.

Thanks for reading x

@bunnykins123 my other chart is Ovusense which still won’t confirm ovulation despite 4 high temps! So annoying. Maybe tomorrow it’ll get its act together. It’s good that now I know ovulation could actually be after the dip, so in future (although hopefully wont need to) I’ll know to DTD an extra day!

@ASwimInAPondInTheRain welcome! Thanks for telling us about your journey :) are you sure you are 17dpo, is that how long ago you got a positive OPK? Maybe you geared up to ovulate so got the hormone surge, but didn’t actually ovulate. It’s happened to me a couple of times before.
I totally get what you mean about it being on your mind all the time and struggling to connect at work, I feel this too.
PCOS is one possible cause, could also be thyroid issues (I suspect this is the case with me!)

@bunnykins123 I'm just a bit random full stop I think. Over the past 5 cycles my ov day has been (probably 12), 16, 15, 12 - a bit of continuity would be nice!!

Hi all, just popping back to see how everyone’s getting on. Impressed by the marathon BDing sessions 😵‍💫
8dpo here and wondering when to test. Previously I’ve tried to wait until AF due day so it’s more of a definitive yes/no answer. That’s harder when you know you have a pregnancy test sitting in the cupboard! Thinking maybe Sunday - would 11 dpo generally give a positive if it’s been a successful cycle?

@LuckyMoonstone honestly I find temping so confusing!

@ASwimInAPondInTheRain welcome to the group, I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel. Your story is very similar to mine in that I've had 3x early losses since Aug last year. Are you sure of when you O'd? I often found I O'd later after a early loss. Hormones and all that make things a bit jumpy. Likewise - I think about it all day every day. It makes me incredibly sad and frustrated. I'm actually in the middle of testing (awaiting blood results from hospital still, taking a decade), having a heap of internal tests done next week and will be getting DH checked this month. I'm fed up with it and it seems like everyone is falling pregnant at the drop of a hat. Just know you're not alone and this forum helps 💕

@curliegirlie I have the occasional CD12 O date too, you may be gearing up to O nearer CD15/16 cycle this cycle?

@Mabelledox oooh everything 🤞🏼 for you

@LuckyMoonstone mine always shows as O on the dip. I had to manually change my O day on the app this month it had me as ovulating 4 days before for no reason whatsoever no dramatic change in temp until after I had clearly ovulated. The app is meant to take into account LH tests and cm recordings but it didn't 🙄 I think these apps have a mind of their own sometimes

@pangolin84 we are on the same dpo I was thinking I might test Saturday AF is due Sunday. I have had positives at 10 & 11dpo so you could certainly get one on Sunday

@mummatara Thanks I’ll plan for a Sunday test then 😊 Just hoping for bbt to remain high in the meantime 🤞

@pangolin84 oh me too mine has been very steady actually through this whole cycle which is reassuring let's hope there's no drops for the next few days 🤞🏼

@pangolin84 or you know no drops at all 😬

Ladies I did a thing because someone annoyed me and I thought sod it! There was a vvfl after about a minute and it's pink😳 I don't know what to think 🙈 I'm elated and scared all at the same time

@mummatara I see it!!!!

@mummatara ohhhhh my I see it too!!! 🤞🏼Really hope this is your BFP 🌈✨

@MrsCristiano @Astar21 eeeek 🙊 I mean I know I should not get my hopes up so much as it is only 8dpo and it's very faint but ive looked at so many tests the past couple of months so really I should know 🤣 I really am hoping it is 🤞🏼

@mummatara there is definitely something there!! Ahh I'm so excited for you 🤞🏼 Test again tomorrow with FMU?

@Astar21 yes I will for sure good job I had 3 frers left over 😂

@mummatara 😮😮 I see it! Excited to see what the next one looks like in the morning! 🤞🤞

I have no pregnancy tests in the house at all so I will not be tempted 😅

@mummatara who annoyed you? 7dpo today and I have the fear of a bfn 😕

@MrsCristiano my boss 😂 he has called 20 times today because he's in a Im going to be a pain in the arse mood 🙄 I'm meant to be sick at home but that's no matter 🙈 tbf I do feel a lot better today but I still didn't need him calling me every 20 minutes

Hey. I found out I was pregnant over two weeks ago. I’m 6w tomorrow but been bleeding for the past 24 hours, initially light pink but now bright red on to a pad. I can’t have a scan until Saturday but I am fearing the worst.

when will the bleeding stop and how soon can we TTC? We got pregnant first time with this baby #2 and I’m devastated.

thank you x
