1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

[MillieKitty]

Heyyy I am back in the two-week wait if anyone is in the same boat and wants company, I ovulated 29th sept I believe! Chemical pregnancy two cycles ago so wishing this cycle is the one 🤞🏼

Well, I will be joining you all on the next thread as just started bleeding despite my tests progressing. I know they say bleeding can be normal in early pregnancy but this is exactly like my miscarriage and to be honest, I just know 😩

Oh @HJA87 I'm so sorry if it is what you think, it's good that the tests are progressing so I have everything crossed for you that it's just normal bleeding ❤️

@HJA87 I'm so sorry to hear that. I have everything crossed for you that is isn't another miscarriage and just a bit of early pregnancy bleeding xx

@HJA87 im so sorry..
Keep positive, easier said than done.

We are all here to support. ✨🤞🏻

Thank you all x I’m pretty certain it is ending as it’s so similar to last month. I also had my HCG tested via blood and although it was doubling a few days ago it was really low. If and when I get my next BFP the anxiety will be even worse 😩I’m getting some tests done so hopefully they will uncover some problem that can be fixed. I hope those of you who had BFNs are feeling positive for the next cycle x

@HJA87 so sorry, I hope you’re doing ok it must be so stressful ❤️

I'm out too, AF turned up yesterday so here's to the next cycle being the successful one 🤞

How are you holding up @HJA87 ? Hope you're as ok as can be expected xx

@Mum2yorkie sorry to hear AF is here😔

Thank you for asking, I’m feeling ok. It’s almost as if I expected it anyway. Tests are getting lighter now so it’s definitely over. Weirdly, I’m actually keen for the bleeding to be over so that I can resume trying asap. A couple of days ago I felt like I needed a break from this nightmare repeating every month but have now decided that if I want another baby then I’ll just have to keep trying😒

@Mum2yorkie sorry to hear about AF! Will hopefully see you in next thread,

@HJA87 so sorry, I was thinking of you earlier and I'm glad you're keen to get trying again, I'm sure it won't be long 💗

@HJA87 if any good can come from losing a baby (as absolutely heart wrenching as it is) it's that it might help solidify your feelings. For me it really did bring home just how much I did want another and helped me find my way through a bit. I hope you get your sticky BFP soon xx

@MillieKitty also meant to say I'll absolutely be looking out for the next thread 👍

@MillieKitty , thank you x I think the only thing that will make me feel better is another pregnancy/baby and so I have no choice but to try xx

@Mum2yorkie that’s very true x

Hey all, looks like I’m going to ovulate whilst I’m away with my friend so won’t be able to dtd any closer than 2 days before and 1 day after ovulation :/ annoying- does anyone know of any ways to increase the likelihood of sperm surviving for a couple days?

@Peeonastick22 oh that is annoying! Whilst I don't know the answer to your question I'm interested to see if anyone else has any tips!

I was meant to ovulate yesterday but my cheap tests said I wasn't, I'm taking a break from the expensive clear blues this month so I'm worried I've missed it now! Oh well will keep testing 😆 hope everyone is okay

@Peeonastick22 can't answer your question, just wanted to say that 2 days before Ovulation and 1 day after isnt the worst. You are still definitely in with a chance of getting your BFP this month.

@Sunshine085 thanks! I’m just worried because the last few months we’ve only managed to dtd two days before and it hasn’t worked but I suppose that could be for many reasons!

Hi all, I think a lot of us are predicted to be ovulating around this time. How is everyone feeling?

Hi @Wrenegade hope you're good, my Flo app predicted Tuesday ovulation but I have been doing the cheapie tests and no peak yet, been testing since last Saturday! So not hopeful this month, I've obv missed it somewhere, only dtd sat and tues so we will see! Definitely going back to clear blue next month, How you feeling about this cycle?

@MillieKitty don’t loose hope yet, I have used cheapies for two years and found that they often don’t catch my LH surge, are you testing more than once a day? You might also be ovulating later so keep going! I did read that there needs to be 25 mUI/mLis of LH to be detected on the test but plenty of people ovulate at just 20 mUI/mLis which wouldn’t produce a positive test. Sending you baby dust.

Similar to you, predicted ovulation today but I’m not sure. Last month I really focussed DTD around predicted ovulation where as this month we are just trying to regularly DTD this week and into next as I know I can ovulate anything between CD10 and CD18.

@Wrenegade I tested twice a day from Tuesday, I'll keep going as their only cheap and will order some better ones for next cycle, that's good that you're DTD over two weeks as that's definitely going to give you more of a chance! Sending baby dust! 🤞🏼

@MillieKitty do keep testing and DTD if you can, you might just be ovulating late for a whole variety of reasons.

@Wrenegade it's such a pain when your ovulation day is so variable!

I'm on holiday this week, so nice timing for fertile week - finally got a peak OPK yesterday, after a false start earlier in the week when it rose a bit and then fell. Hope we've DTD enough, would be good to go again today but we're flying back and might be too tired when we get in.

Hope everyone else is good, and looking forward to another 2WW...

@MillieKitty it sounds like maybe it will be later this month. Definitely keep going.

@Mortima what lovely timing for fertile week. Do you plan DTD for specific days of your cycle or do you just go with the flow? Sending baby dust.

I got back from my shift at 1am this morning and tested, I got a positive but at 9am this morning it was beginning to fade so I’m thinking the test detected a surge from yesterday whilst I was working. Will keep testing to ensure I don’t miss it.

@Wrenegade oh how confusing! Yeah maybe your body tried to release the egg but actually didn't, so you'll probably surge again

@Mortima that is great timing for a fertile week!! It'll be a lovely story if you get a bfp that you conceived on holiday!

Well I definitely think I've missed ovulation, I've attached a picture of my tests, I was getting EWCM on CD9 - CD11 (I've been known to ovulate quite early before) and my tests look darker that day, DTD on CD10 & 13 so going to stop testing now for my own sanity and I'll be hopeful anyway!

And I've just realised I didn't test twice a day at the beginning so I bet it was one of those evenings

@MillieKitty yes it looks to me like the evening of CD 10 is likely to have been ovulation. Which means you will have hit it with DTD. I’m very hopeful for you too! What cycle is this for you?

I didn’t test yesterday morning as I had no tests, hence testing when I got home at a silly hour. So I have no idea what the rest of the results of yesterday would have been so it is possible yesterday was the day or like you said there will be a second surge. CD 15 today so I will keep testing over the weekend.
