I had my first flashing smile yesterday but didn’t dtd. I’m not feeling well as I have an awful cold…but really need to find the energy tonight!

My period will be due around 11th Jan. could be before or after as my cycle lengths vary by a few days.

Let’s keep each other company!

@Anon2822 Sorry to hear this, I hope your next scan shows growth. 2 weeks feels such a long time doesn't it 😔 I don't have much advice other than to look after yourself xxx

How's everyone doing? I'm in my fertile window now, ovulating Sunday 🤞🏻

SMG1992 · 03/02/2023 09:01

I'm in my first cycle since having a MMC earlier in Jan, I took a clearbue ovulation test yesterday and got a static smiley so have been DTD yesterday and today to give enough chance to hopefully conceive. - does anyone know how long I should be fertile for after the static?
I didn't even think to check if I was ovulating before yesterday as it's only been just over 2 weeks since my MMC! So I've missed the fertile days before ovulation unfortunatley.
Fingers crossed to everyone in this cycle - positive thoughts all round. This has been the first time I've felt any positivity since the MC.

Hi all.Age 35, TTC#2, Cycle #4I'm on CD19. Think I am 4DPO.I have cycles anywhere from 28-34 days. My app says I'm not due to ovulate until tomorrow Sat 4th. But from my symptoms I'm pretty sure I ovulated 4 days ago. Pain in tummy, EWCM etc ... I don't do OPKs or temps etc ... were just going with a very relaxed approach atm. DTD throughout the month and hoping it will catch at some point.This worked for conceiving DS who is now nearly 3. We have decided this is our last month TTC for now. (Other commitments throughout Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb) If doesn't work will start TTC again in July time but then with the OPKs etc...Good luck everyone 🤞 xx

@lemonyfox hope this is your month!🤞have you managed to DTD around the time? I'm 6dpo, ovulated last Sunday. Going to test on Tuesday at 9dpo. I know they say not to test early but I'd rather know if I have another chemical!

@SMG1992 sorry to hear about your MMC. They do say you're more fertile for a few months after a pregnancy. I had a chemical in December and potentially another chemical last month (extremely faint positives then a period bang on time). Trying to remain calm yet positive!

@Soda123x it does sound like you already ovulated. We're doing the same and taking the relaxed approach!

Not sure how optimistic I am this month as we only DTD the day of ovulation and 4 and 6 days before...

If we can get one more go in tomorrow, then we'll have managed 4 times this fertile window. Ready for a rest tbh 😂

Hey you never know. I conceived first time when we only DTD once, 4 days before ovulation!

SillyOldBear3 · 04/02/2023 18:51

@lemonyfox that's good going, you'll defo be in need of a rest!

Thanks, that's good to know! I feel strangely calm this month. Some slight cramps tonight but no symptoms other than that... Will keep you updated if I test!

SillyOldBear3 · 08/02/2023 08:41

Oh gosh.. though I'd update this thread. After a chemical in November and potentially another one in December, I got another BFP last night at 9dpo, and another this morning which was a little darker.. test lines stronger this time! 🫣 It's very early days but we'll see if this little one sticks. My partner is away so I haven't told him yet.. he is back this afternoon! Good luck everyone xx

Soda123x · 08/02/2023 09:03

@SillyOldBear3 🤞got everything crossed for you hun ❤ xx

Piglet34 · 08/02/2023 12:04

@SillyOldBear3 super good luck! Really hope this one sticks for you! xx

WilllowStar · 08/02/2023 20:28

@SillyOldBear3 congratulations! That’s lovely news xx

SillyOldBear3 · 08/02/2023 21:14

Thanks everyone ❤️ I'm so nervous about having another chemical. I've done 3 tests today (just cheapies). The lines are faint but visible.. I hope this is normal for 10dpo. I need to try and relax and just take a test in another 48hrs but it's easier said than done! 🫣

Amazing news, keeping everything crossed for you xxx

SillyOldBear3 · 09/02/2023 12:55

@Anon2822 thank you 💜 how are you? Have you had any progress with your tests? Xx

SillyOldBear3 · 09/02/2023 12:58

@WilllowStar how is your pregnancy progressing? 😊 How many weeks are you now?

WilllowStar · 09/02/2023 14:44

@SillyOldBear3 im doing good thank you! I’m 8+4. Had an early scan measuring 8 weeks and everything was looking good so far. I’m being sick everyday but I was expecting that!

have you tested again today? Xx

SillyOldBear3 · 09/02/2023 15:45

@WilllowStar Aw sounds like everything is progressing perfectly! Nice to have that reassurance from an early scan too 🙂 oh no, sorry about the sickness! When did you start experiencing sickness? I have absolutely no symptoms other than a slightly sore lower back..

I have tested with a cheapie but waiting for my partner to come home before I do the FRER! This morning's cheapie (11dpo) is the bottom test, the middle 3 were yesterday at 10dpo, and the top was 9dpo. I think today's is slightly darker?..

WilllowStar · 09/02/2023 17:27

@SillyOldBear3 it defo looks darker! You could try a clearblue digital too 🥰 I’ve had lots of lower back ache this pregnancy too. No strong symptoms until closer to 6 weeks though, morning sickness started around 5+6 and constantly starving lol xx

SillyOldBear3 · 09/02/2023 20:47

Update... Finally did the FRER this evening at 11dpo and the line is strong, this gives me some hope 🥹

@WilllowStar I hope the morning sickness passes soon. That's one symptom I dread! I feel bloated this evening but so far no sickness...

@SillyOldBear3 that’s a great line! So exciting. Keep us updated how you get on over the next few weeks 💕

lemonyfox · 10/02/2023 07:30

Yay congratulations @SillyOldBear3!!

Anon2822 · 12/02/2023 11:39

I had a scan this morning which shows I’m 7+6 and a healthy heartbeat 🥰

SillyOldBear3 · 12/02/2023 12:18

@Anon2822 aw yay huge congrats!!! 🥰 So when is you due date?

My tests are still getting darker! I'm 14dpo and this morning's cheapie was almost as dark as the control line!

WilllowStar · 12/02/2023 14:26

@Anon2822 so pleased for you! You must be over the moon seeing the healthy heartbeat 🥰

@SillyOldBear3 congrats again on your BFP! When will you be due roughly then? I’m due 17th Sept, 9 weeks today 🥰 xx
