Has anyone else got bfp or are we all out this cycle now?

Maybebaby12345 · 18/07/2023 21:43

I didn't get my bfp, what an awful evap with that clear blue!!! I'm cycle day 3 now and feeling sorry for myself, but I'm ready for this month and hubby has planned a weekend away for the weekend im hopefully ovulating so hopefully this is our month!!!!

rosecbrm · 18/07/2023 21:43

Thanks for the tag on the new thread!

AF is just finishing for me so ready to go into this new cycle with a positive mindset!

How's everyone feeling?

rosecbrm · 18/07/2023 21:44

@Maybebaby12345 I had the same with a clear blue too, then AF arrived the next day I was gutted!

Fingers crossed for us this cycle 🤞🏼

Boobag · 18/07/2023 21:47

I am currently 10dpo and only getting stark whites had some symptoms but it’s hard to tell if I’m imagining them. Keeping fingers crossed it might be too early but feeling quite apprehensive. Cervix feels quite low, closed and hard so think that’s a bad sign. Been having hot flashes cramps and slight nausea throughout.

FoodFann · 18/07/2023 21:55

8dpo.

4 days to go til testing 😩I cracked and tested this morning - bfn.

It’s really feeling like forever this month because there are practical/work reasons I want a March/April baby, as well as just reeeeeally wanting another baby!

Where’s everyone up to?

CatLadyH · 18/07/2023 21:57

Would love to join in if poss - hoping this cycle is the one for us after a chemical in June 🤞🏻

CD 3 for me. My periods are quite light, wondering if it's something that can affect fertility. Only 2 days heavy-ish and then not much after that, hopefully it's ok.

Re-ordered batch of my vitamins (COQ10, high strength vit D/folic acid, Holland & Barrett conception), I'm also doing weekly acupuncture since start of last cycle and also going to order bunch of easyhome tests to get myself prepared. Wondering if I should continue aspirin this cycle, don't know if it's something that can help.

I really want an April baby, so going to give it my best shot 🤞 I did the same things last cycle tho, so the only thing really changing is dtd more in the fertile period.

DPO9 here and trying not to test until Sunday when AF is due. Having symptoms so fingers are crossed

missmae · 19/07/2023 00:13

@HelloMoon87 here we go again eh! keeping everything crossed you get your April baby! I also take high strength vitamins, mine are from natures best.
Very emotional today, have cried most the day, sigh.

Cd5 here! Never mentioned before but I’m 24 TTC #1. Soon to be 25 in 29 days. So maybe a bfp for my birthday?🥹

How is everyone doing?

SnookyPook · 19/07/2023 00:33

Hi All, mind if I join? I'm 37 and TTC no.2 - unfortunately had a MMC at 12wks in April so regrouping and trying again.. just finished my 3rd period since the loss so entering fertile week soon and really hoping for a BFP asap, although also slightly scared now!

Baby dust to everyone!

SnookyPook · 19/07/2023 00:36

To clarify, the MMC was my second pregnancy... First resulted in my DS who was a lockdown baby and turned 2 in January 🥰

pinkandredflowers · 19/07/2023 06:28

Sending you all lots and lots and lots of luck! Thank you all for being so supportive xxxxxx

PuddleSplosher · 19/07/2023 06:42

Thanks for the tag @HelloMoon87

@SnookyPook Same for me, 37 and ttc #2! Baby dust to you :) Imagine having a non lockdown baby! I genuinely can't imagine it 😂

I feel like I'm being trolled by my period. CD31, nothing but stark white bfns and it's normally here by CD29. I just want to get on with the next cycle now since it obviously hasn't happened!

cosymama2020 · 19/07/2023 06:59

Hi all!

Im the same with the symptoms @Boobag

10 DPO today and BFN this morning on a frer using fmu. Not even a hint of a 2nd line. Had PMS moods yesterday though so wondering if I’m out.

I’m 33 ttc #2 and this is cycle 1 ❤️

Scarletthoping · 19/07/2023 07:30

Awww. Thanks so much 🥰 Really hope this the month you all get your BFPs. Sending love and baby dust xxx

BlossomTree123 · 19/07/2023 08:43

I’m now CD2! AF shown herself last night. Did my temp this morning, as going to try doing the temping thing with the ovulation tests so I know if I have definitely ovulated this month, after last cycles confusion with the CB OPK.

@HelloMoon87 thank you for the new thread, I don’t think it’s a bad sign that your light, some people are naturally light and some naturally heavy. My AF feels different so far compared to normal, but I don’t know if it’s because I’m watching it more now I’m ttc.

bookworm100 · 19/07/2023 09:15

Thanks for the tag and for creating the new thread @HelloMoon87 !

I don't think I mentioned last time either...I'm 35 TTC #1.

CD 3 here. I'm actually wondering if I should pause TTC this cycle as we have a big holiday planned for mid August and I could probably do without the stress of going through all this just before we go away...and if it were positive I'd be travelling around the US for over 2 weeks, unable to get in to see my GP to check everything ok and unable to do some of the fun things we have planned for the holiday! So wondering if I pause just for one month and then start TTC again on holiday. Hmm...

ttcthoughts · 19/07/2023 09:22

Hello, I hope you do not mind me joining,
I am 29 TTC Number 2, We have had 2 early losses this year, one on January and the other last month. We are currently 2DPO but OV at CD23. Hoping for a little easter baby 2024 <3

Doodlestar · 19/07/2023 09:24

Thanks for the tag @HelloMoon87 .

I was out on DPO 10 last time. So that cycle was 24 days with a 9 day luteal phase. Trying just to remember I need to see if things settle down a bit (after implant removal early June)!

I also had only a 2/3 day period, lightish flow. That's usual for me but again was expecting it would change after removing the implant. Did some googling and it doesn't seem to be an issue from what I can tell🤷‍♀️🤞

Back on the OPKs again and expecting ovulation Tues or Weds. I'm away without my husband this weekend until Monday night, so hopefully not earlier than that 🤔

CinderRosie · 19/07/2023 09:56

Hope you don't mind me joining. CD4 over here, this is our 2nd month of TTC properly. Going to try SMEP this month x

Maybebaby12345 · 19/07/2023 10:54

I don't know if I said much about myself in the last thread either!!! I'm Irish and me and hubby are ttc no5! We have 4 girls between 12yrs and 2 yrs old.
I've had a lot of complications since an emergency c section 2 years ago so I don't feel very hopeful this time around.

longingtobe23 · 19/07/2023 11:50

Hey all thanks for adding me again, I am 30 TTC#2 it has been extremely long process this time we are nearing our IVF calls (October 😕)

CD5 today ending period - I am not sure what approach to take this month now I usually OPK, preseed, time sex, 3 days over ovulation

But tempted to take a more relaxed approach: no OPK, no preseed and just go at it as much as possible in my “predicted window” 🥲

this is mostly due to being away / SUPER busy when I am away and I don’t want to stress myself out if I can’t DTD on my peak day!
