Ovulation 26th/27th April - let’s TWW together

Hi ladies,

Month 10 of TTC #2. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle.

I have a one year old daughter who took almost a year and a half to conceive. I previously had a chemical pregnancy not long before she was conceived.

Really hoping this cycle will bring good news ❤️

Please feel free to join if your ovulation is around 26th/27th April and/or AF due around 7th/8th/9th May.

Wishing luck to us all xx

@missmoosh ummm sore boobs but I get that every cycle, I’ve been twingey in left groin lower abdo area since 4dpo. Had banging head on Thursday but was at work which is often a reason for a bad head. So nothing majorly different.
I did however add some vitamins this cycle .. magnesium, omega 3, started high dose vit b complex (was normal prior), selenium and Maca Root 1000mg until ovulation. OH reduced caffeine massively also

@Mummyme87 ach im really delighted for you!! 😍😍

suz2285 · 06/05/2023 21:58

@Mummyme87 congrats! I've just done a 9dpo evening too! Mainly cos my usual luteal just now is 9 days and if AF arrives tomorrow I wanted to know if I'm getting pregnant and it's not sticking or if I'm just not getting pregnant...

I've got 2 vfl on 2 seperate tests, but I'm really expecting AF tomorrow so we shall see if it sticks 🤞🤞🤞

missmoosh · 06/05/2023 22:07

@suz2285 ooo any pics? Hopefully a darker line with fmu for you!

As much as I want to test, I don't think my mental health can deal with seeing another negative right now. So I'm still holding strong and waiting for af on Tuesday 🙂 keeps the hope alive whilst also being able to tell myself I'm out at the same time haha

suz2285 · 06/05/2023 22:12

Yeah but they're not great it's dark here and they're very faint (evening 9dpo) I normally wouldn't test until 12 dpo earliest but if I start AF tomorrow then I'll know Im definitely getting pregnant... but then I have an issue with it sticking 🙈

@suz2285 they look Great for 9dpo 😊

suz2285 · 06/05/2023 22:16

Thanks @Daniki I just hope that there's no issues, previous mc and it messes with your head! Plus this short luteal phase, mind you my Mc was at 8 weeks so yeah... lines don't mean as much anymore but it's always good to see one! Means we can definitely get sperm to meet egg at least!

Also my partners cat who isn't really a people person has been stuck to me like Velcro for a few days, she did this last time too! So she can smell something for sure!

Mummyme87 · 06/05/2023 22:17

@suz2285 definitely positive!!!! Fingers crossed

Daniki · 06/05/2023 22:18

@suz2285 oh I completely understand it's never the same after a loss! But I hope it's a sticky one and the anxiety isn't too bad! Most women go on to have a successful pregnancy after a loss 🙏❤️

missmoosh · 06/05/2023 22:30

@suz2285 they are very much positive! No squinting or anything needed to see them!

Lilothblos · 07/05/2023 02:49

Couldn’t sleep so just got up and did these!! Can’t quite believe it! 11dpo

@suz2285 massively crossing my fingers for you! Looks super promising!

suz2285 · 07/05/2023 05:52

@Lilothblos congratulations! What a fab line on both!

mine is very much negative 😔 I’m definitely out for this cycle as I can feel AF is edging nearer too.

I can’t fucking believe it’s cycle 11 now for me. Never did I envisage hitting the year mark again for TTC. It’s so hard to be optimistic! I just feel like giving up!

Hey lovely ladies. Unfortunately I am back to this thread after suffering a miscarriage at 11 weeks. Bubs stopped growing around 7weeks and only found out on Tuesday. Also sorry to see you guys still here! Life just isn’t fair sometimes!

DH and I want to try again as soon as possible, so hopefully ovulation will occur in the next week or two. I really enjoyed the updates on this thread last time, so looking forward to going through this again with you lovely ladies. ❤️

Oh @LittleMiss2023 i am so so so sorry. That must have been/be so painful for you. I know I speak for everyone when I say we are all sending you so much love and strength right now xxx

I’m so sorry to read that @LittleMiss2023 i hope you’re being super kind to yourself xx

@Lilothblos congratulations!!

@TTCing it’s so hard trying to be positive after so long. I was 19months this cycle, which was like 27 cycle I think. It will happen ♥️

Freya8 · 07/05/2023 06:47

@Mummyme87 @Lilothblos @suz2285 huge contrats to you all Xxx

ar91 · 07/05/2023 07:17

@suz2285 @Lilothblos @Mummyme87 oh my goodness huge congratulations to all of you!!! So exciting 💕

@TTCing I hope you're ok. It can be so difficult to stay positive and keep hoping with so much disappointment. But one day you'll get your 2nd line and I hope this is the cycle for you.

@LittleMiss2023 I'm so sorry the hear about your loss. I hope you're managing to get some rest. Xx

@Mummyme87 I'm now desperately googling Maca root and selenium! Haha. Would you mind sharing what dosage you took of selenium and magnesium please?
Started magnesium a few months back but not sure I'm taking enough and haven't tried the others xx

suz2285 · 07/05/2023 07:43

@LittleMiss2023 so sorry, I was going through the same at the end of Feb, desperately wanting to just be pregnant again right away, we started trying as soon as I ovulated right after the MC but I'd say the first few cycles after that were rough emotionally, big hugs, try and grieve as I think that's where I went wrong just focused all my energy into trying again but I'm still really sad about it, and I didn't have anyone to really talk to IRL, husband didn't really understand

@TTCing thanks, so sorry you're having a rubbish time... got everything crossed for you! 🤞

Daniki · 07/05/2023 08:03

Lilothblos · 07/05/2023 02:49

Couldn’t sleep so just got up and did these!! Can’t quite believe it! 11dpo

Congrats @Lilothblos 🥰 I tested this morn at 8dpo and BFN so feel in our this cycle I know it's early but the tests I have are quite sensitive.. 🙈 have sore boobs but had them
Last cycle also 😂

Mummyme87 · 07/05/2023 08:04

@ar91 selenium 200mg and me and OH took (did the same when ttc DS2) and magnesium 375mg. Maca root I did 1000mg from CD1 until ovulation, I’ve read dosage maybe should be higher but wasn’t sure so went in at that dose, also the red Maca root. Apparently it’s good for progesterone in women

StressyErica · 07/05/2023 08:05

Eek congratulations for the BFPs! So exciting! 😃

Sorry for your loss @LittleMiss2023 . It's so difficult isn't it. I remember the desperation to be pregnant again. I hope you get your BFP soon. ❤️

Meh. I'm 10dpo and don't want to test now because I know it's negative. Grr. DH did say that he's happy to continue TTC though so I'm pleased about that.
