Out... AF Arrived today. Looking for next cycle buddy

Hi all, AF graced me with her presence this morning... after what I thought were some promising cramps/light bleeding over the weekend. (It was just my mind playing tricks on me but so glad I waited it out, I think a negative test might have upset me a little) Made a note of all my symptoms, so I know what to expect next month, in case it's a no again.

We will be going again for cycle 2 in around 2 weeks time if anyone is in the same boat and is looking for support?

We haven't told many people we've started trying for our 1st baby, so I'm desperate to chat with someone else going through it.
Good luck to you all ♥️

Can anyone see a line?

I can see something, did it come up in the time? It's quite grey so could be evap, fingers crossed for you!

@BudgetBuster hello again! Definitely think taking a more relaxed approach can only be a good thing, glad your are having a positive month and good luck this cycle! :)

I'm CD13 and just had a positive OPK so looks like a few days of DTD ahead. We've already DTD every other day since CD4 mainly just because we fancied it which has been nice! Now that I've had the OPK and the pressures there it instantly takes the fun out though 😂

Having a pretty rough day today ladies. Completely broke down for hours and hours. I'm not even frustrated anyway I'm just so sad. I don't know if I'm cut out to continue trying anymore if I'm honest. Three pregnancies and no babies.

behappy1736 · 04/03/2023 16:27

Hi everyone. So I had positive tests Thursday and Friday then started bleeding Friday lunchtime and still bleeding now it period like too with cramps and enough to wear a pad and have to change it every few hours.
Booked in for bloods on Monday but am I probably right in thinking it's c chemical pregnancy?
I wasn't due my period until tomorrow so I was testing early with 10miu tests from Monday this week.
I did a test this afternoon and there is still a faint line there, no darker but still there.
If it's a chemical pregnancy then would it take a while for the line to disappear?

First photo is Thursday/Fridays tests, second photo is this afternoons test after bleeding for 24 hours.

Any help or thoughts would be much appreciated 🙏🏼 thank you x

@behappy1736 Bleeding that lasts 24-48hrs in early pregnancy is often nothing to worry about. It might settle. Also I wouldn’t worry about the line not getting darker as its still very early.

I hope it all goes well for you on Monday x

@BudgetBuster sorry to hear you've not had a good day 😞 so so hard what you have been through and the not knowing is so all consuming. Have you been able to have tests yet? If not that might be a good thing to do to feel like things are moving forward. It's okay to have bad days though, hope tomorrow is better for you xxx

BudgetBuster · 04/03/2023 21:40

@Piglet34 Nope, no tests. I had a miscarriage at 5 weeks in 2018, had a medical termination at 8 weeks in 2019 and a miscarriage at 6 weeks in 2022. Because the 2nd was technically a termination, I'm not entitled to tests.

I just a bad day. It was emotional. My husband was great - which I know is eqiaas difficult for him. He also invitee our best friends over for drinks this evening which was great to brighten me up a bit.

Piglet34 · 05/03/2023 10:45

@BudgetBuster sorry to hear you've been through such a hard time :( that's so bad it means your not entitled to tests anymore! What an awful system, don't they know that things can change!

Sounds like you have a lovely DH! X

Sending hugs @BudgetBuster that's a rough ride for you. I'm crossing everything for you that you will get your little baby - keep going 💕 Can you be offered tests after a certain period of time has passed since 2019?

@flowerlover1990 Tests only after 3 miscarriages in a row. So I am basically treated as if last year was my first pregnancy/loss.

flowerlover1990 · 06/03/2023 15:53

Finally got my peak day (yesterday CD20 for me) ovulation today 💃🏼 Feeling hopeful. How's everyone else getting on?

@flowerlover1990 yay glad to hear your got your peak! You can join me in the TWW now 🥳 how long are your cycles usually?

I'm on 5dpo so nothing to report really. Just waiting to see if my dreaded spotting turns up usually around 8dpo as that will make me think I'm out :/

Wooo 🥳 My cycles are normally between 30-32 days. What about you? Definitely ovulated later than I thought I did... but just relieved it happened eventually. Been tracking bbt as well, but my temps seem to be a bit all over the place!
Eeeek so you're 4 days ahead of me now... keep me posted please! Wishing you so much luck this cycle 🤞🏻

@flowerlover1990 mine vary depending on when I ovulate. I ovulate CD14-17 but always have a 14 day luteal phase, so this month mine should be 28! I think some peoples BBTs are a bit crazy as there are so many things that can influence it. Yess will keep you updated, hope yours doesn't go to slow either! X

Is hard to get on camera

Lexie365 · 10/03/2023 08:47

Now that it's fully dry (took it over an hour ago) it's a bit easier to see

@Lexie365 ooh yeah I can definitely see a shadow of a line, has it got colour to it or grey? As you say hard to see through a picture but looks like a potential, definitely try another in a day or two :) x

Lexie365 · 10/03/2023 11:24

@Piglet34 yes it is definitely pink tinged🥰🥰 really hope this is my bfp🤞🙏

@Lexie365 yep I can definitely see a shadow of a line too 😬😍 Crossing everything for you!! Keep us updated. I'm 4dpo today so still a way to go for me yet - hate the exhaustion that comes after ovulation, I could sleep for days!!
