Dpo 1, tww keep sane

Hello!

TTC #2, 36 yo. I should be dpo 1 today, I could feel ovulation yesterday evening, had peak opk yesterday morning.

I will try to test only on day when AF due, so next Sunday, as I've had 2 chemicals so unfortunately not expecting magic.

@Tes004 can you bleed before your expected af with a chemical? I’m all confused if I’m honest. I never bleed early, I’m always exactly 14 days after peak opk. I never test early either so for as far as I’m aware this if a first chemical I’ve witnessed so I don’t really know too much about it 🤔. The pain has stopped - the pain was in my right side only and no where else. The bleeding has stopped too but it was enough to fill a pad at one point. So confused!
ah at least your temp is still high, you’re not out just yet I am praying for you🙏🏼 ✨

Tes004 · 15/07/2023 18:42

i bleed really bad with one of my pregnancies- and he’s now 10 - the only way to tell if a true chemical is to have blood to show positive then fallen levels - if it has stopped try another test - x

@missmae yeah only time will tell... I have bled in pregnancy before but only later, in week 7. Was it bright red? Even then it's still not possible to know now. Maybe do another test tomorrow.

@Scarletthoping congrats! That's wonderful news!

@missmae - totally missed your news earlier. I’m so sorry! Hope you’re OK ❤️

Scarletthoping · 15/07/2023 20:35

Thanks so much everyone ❤️

I’m feeling good although I took against a beef burger at a BBQ earlier 🤢

@Tes004 - it was the first time I tested. I held off buying any tests but just had a feeling today was the day to try so went on a Boots shopping trip. Was planning to wait until Tuesday to be sure!

longingtobe23 · 15/07/2023 20:39

I’m out ladies! Which is a bummer

💗 I’ll hang around to see if another pops up you’ve all be so supportive
wish you luck those still testing and those who are already positive 🍀

missmae · 15/07/2023 21:15

@HelloMoon87 yeah I think I’ll test one more time tomorrow morning then leave it. I am having mild cramps now even tho the blood has died down.. it was bright red yes! It’s just been watery and brown since. I think it just must’ve been a chemical! I’ve kind of come to terms with it now. Was quite sad earlier but can try again aye!

missmae · 15/07/2023 21:15

Oh bless you @longingtobe23 yes I may see you on the next one then!

@missmae hope you have a good night of sleep, you're doing the best you can. Totally shocking to see a bleed after the good news. With my chemicals, I would see at least few days of positive, so keeping everything crossed.

I'm now mapping out my next cycle. I really want an April baby (any cycle baby of course but an April baby would be so so lovely), so I'm going to try to dtd as much as possible, eat healthily, exercise, de-stress (probably book a holiday around ovulation and implantation haha). I also want to use clearblue ovulation predictor because that worked for me well before, as well as my easyhome opks. But I don't want to bbt and do too many high pressured things, I want to just chill and DTD every other day for quite some time to make sure I don't miss ovulation...

Scarletthoping · 15/07/2023 23:23

@HelloMoon87 - if it helps, we basically did SMEP although didn’t know about this until after. We didn’t have a gap after ovulation so we tried 7 times over an 8 day period. Good luck for your next try ✨

@Scarletthoping thank you for sharing 💛 yeah I think that's what I'm going to attempt though I am not sure if my OH is up to it haha, I'll have to do some convincing... What do you mean by not having gap after ovulation? Do you mean you did 7 times over 8 days after ovulation?

@MrsP20202 @pinkandredflowers hope you don't mind me asking, which days did you cover in the fertile period?

bookworm100 · 16/07/2023 07:07

13DPO and BFN today. Period due on Weds but feeling like I'm out for this cycle but I'll keep testing...definitely up for the new thread!

@HelloMoon87 we DTD every day of my fertile period and days either side (and sometimes twice!), I'm not sure if frequency really makes much of a difference.

Scarletthoping · 16/07/2023 07:15

@HelloMoon87 - so we DTD Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. Pretty sure I ovulated on the Sunday. SMEP actually starts a day earlier than we did and is every other day until you get peak ovulation on the tests (we did everyday as I thought it was that weekend but had run out of tests) and then you are meant to skip a day again after that and do it once last time. So if I’d actually followed the plan I wouldn’t have had to do the Monday if that makes sense.

So got this, this morning girls.

took longer than normal for the pink dye to move up the test so I’m second guessing if it’s faulty, (peed on the stick instead of dipping this morning as couldn’t be arsed to clean the tub)

first time I haven’t had to squint for the line, at first I thought it was going to say invalid as could see the line straight away.

however im not convinced I still feel like im coming on, do you know that feeling you get like top of your legs. I have that.

sorry I had missed so many messages, yesterday was a busy day.

@Scarletthoping what app is that, that you use?? Looks really good.

@missmae how you feeling this morning ?

@bookworm100 i think frequency would matter, as the more sperm waiting the better surely??? you still have time!!

AF here this morning, one day early, so will definitely be on that next thread!

@Scarletthoping thank you, will try that this cycle!

@BlossomTree123 that looks definitely positive but as you say, maybe double confirm with another test?

OP posts:
BlossomTree123 · 16/07/2023 08:22

@HelloMoon87 ahh sorry AF is here!!

it looks positive to me but worried incase it’s a false positive

Tes004 · 16/07/2023 08:39

@BlossomTree123 surly that’s bfp ! Get poas girl best of luck - what day are you x
@HelloMoon87 that’s a crap way to start Sunday ! Wishing you success next round - I’ve actually gone and purchased clomid ,,, and yes I know I shouldn’t with a dr. Haven’t decided if I’m going to actually try them and still delusional this month hoping to see a 2nd line !

@Tes004 thank you! I'm also taking aspirin from day of ovulation, a gynaecologist we saw said it can't hurt and he would recommend so wasn't prescribed but advised. Hope for bfp for you!

@MrsP20202 @pinkandredflowers hope you don't mind me asking, which days did you cover in the fertile period?

Did every other day in fertile week but then twice on peak day! Didn't do anything after that xx
