Sadly AF came for me yesterday! On to cycle number 5, trying to stay positive! Good luck and baby dust everyone!

Dizzy1994 · 29/01/2024 13:09

I am so confused.... No AF... two days late... negative early responses.
Could I still be in with a chance? It has been a hard few months with redundancy, house sale falling through, health issues and more and I can't take much more.

@Dizzy1994 Ive never yet had a positive early test for either of my pregnancies, so crossing my fingers for you. Sorry you’ve had such a tough time recently, that sounds tricky ❤️

I only got the static smiley on a clearblue 48h ago and yet I’ve got blood in discharge this morning 😬 could be ovulation? Equally could be AF coming blooming early. Nail biting stiff this TTC isn’t it? I’m sure my cycles haven’t been this weird for a while.

Daisychain27 · 29/01/2024 15:31

@ChaosAndCrumbs I had my LH peak Friday night and then I’ve had very very tiny amounts of pinky discharge ever since, my cervix is usually super sensitive around ovulation so whenever we DTD at that time I usually notice it, could it be that? I don’t really mind it as it reminds me I am actually ovulating! I’ve had tests done and nothing sinister has ever been found, doc said it’s just the hormonal changes sometimes make people’s cervix’s more sensitive

ChaosAndCrumbs · 29/01/2024 22:42

Thanks, @Daisychain27 😊 That’s really reassuring. It’s so odd for me, I’ve never experienced spotting around ovulation before. I find my cycles can go so weird when trying though, I’ve tracked them without ttc and they’re regular and normal with no new symptoms - as soon as I TTC all the never-before-experienced symptoms pop up 🙈

Racket81 · 30/01/2024 06:40

After being out last month my predicted OV day is 8th Feb. Good luck to everyone else this month and ci gratulatiins to all the bfps.. really hoping this is my month but I say that every month. X

Gracie1825 · 31/01/2024 18:30

@Racket81 mine is 4th. Really hope it's our month 🤞

Racket81 · 31/01/2024 18:37

Me too. X

MrsP20202 · 31/01/2024 22:00

this is one for all you ladies using opks now my easy at home ones are coming out pretty high but easy blue is not even picking up high anything. This is first time using clear blue or maybe the reason I’m not getting pregnant is because easy at home are are saying I’m ovulating but I’m not Any thoughts?

TrainIsMoving · 31/01/2024 22:49

@MrsP20202 that's odd. Can you share how it looks like for the past few days?

MrsP20202 · 01/02/2024 08:33

@TrainIsMoving of course ! The line is progressing but clear blue still negative this morning 🤷🏻‍♀️ I would say east at home is a positive test so confused

MrsP20202 · 01/02/2024 13:30

So update took a clear blue today and another easy at home and it’s a static smiley ! So completely negative yesterday to straight away static so easy at home seemed to pick up on a peak before clear blue

TrainIsMoving · 01/02/2024 15:45

@MrsP20202 that's so weird. If anything, for me clearblue picks up before easyhome. Glad they are matching now!!! Time for dtd 😂

As for me dpo 8, and I think I'm out 😂 I always have symptoms on dpo 8, when I'm pregnant. We are moving houses in few weeks though, so I'm ok with any result. Just want it to happen in the next few months, as I want to try the new protocol if it helps with MCs.

ChaosAndCrumbs · 01/02/2024 19:13

I had this when I first used clearblue and I think it takes time to get used to your personal cycle. Although tbf to it, that cycle was weird for me and far shorter than my usual cycles.

Dizzy1994 · 02/02/2024 12:41

I dont know what to do. My cycles are usually 30-35 days long. I am on CD42. No AF and only BFNs.

Do ectopics cause positive tests as Ive had a few twinges in my shoulder and now I am overthinking...

MrsP20202 · 02/02/2024 15:44

Counting myself out this month 😂 just didn’t get a chance to dtd yesterday and I can feel I ovulated yesterday which confirms with a lh strip which is lighter today hoping you all get your BFP !!! 🤞🏽 Xx

ChaosAndCrumbs · 02/02/2024 19:29

Have you been unwell recently, @Dizzy1994? I know a couple of people whose cycles were longer after viruses (1 Covid and 1 just a very heavy cold). You could ask the GP for a blood test etc. I think ectopic pregnancies can show as a negative, but they are more often positives.

Ahhhhh I hadnt even thought of that!!!!
Yes, i have the most horrific sore throat - viral.
Argh, both dissapointed and so relieved.
Thank you xx

ChaosAndCrumbs · 03/02/2024 12:07

Really hope you’re better soon @Dizzy1994 and that the next cycle goes back to normal and is the BFP one 😊

ChaosAndCrumbs · 04/02/2024 08:08

Anyone else still in TWW? I’m 7dpo and was so low and irritable yesterday, haven’t had feelings that extreme from pre-AF for ages, so now thinking it might come sooner rather than later 😭 Felt like such a kick in the teeth to have those super irritable/down feelings back when hoping for a pregnancy. Nothing to do but wait and see now.

TheFamousMrEd · 13/02/2024 15:36

Negative test at 12dpo and no symptoms (I just can’t help but test) so assuming I’m out for this month!

I’ve had no spotting for the 2nd cycle in a row when I consistently get it the week before I’m due. No idea why it’s suddenly changed!

holly12388 · 13/02/2024 18:41

@TheFamousMrEd
You know you're not out till the witch is here though.. when are you due?
try to keep positive as you could've implanted later (10 or 11dpo) so it won't show positive as of yet..
What test did you use?

Lots of baby dust to you ✨

Racket81 · 13/02/2024 18:46

@ChaosAndCrumbs I'm 5dpo no symptoms though feeling very normal.
