And so it begins again… 4dpo

[Youlooknicejackie1]

id like to call it a 2WW but I know il test on CD10 as I’ve got no restraint at all. I can’t believe it’s been a year of ttc already. I use natural cycles and my ovulation wasn’t ‘scheduled’ for another week but woke up this morning and the app has decided I ovulated 4 days ago. I had a suspicion anyway from my temps so managed to BD the day before and the day of ovulation. Anyone else in the early stages of the TWW? (Or ten day in my case)

@UnicornPrincessSarah Ah I wouldn't worry, every pregnancy is totally different. I think i'd worry if mine were too faint or too dark tbh - utterly paranoid. Makes me think it's too dark for this stage and something is going to go wrong. Pregnancy after loss is genuinely horrendous, I'm so incredibly anxious :(

The MomMed strip was FMU and the Boots test was SMU.

@dreammama I do have another I can try tonight but that's maybe 20mui yeah I had a mc loss at 6/7 weeks myself so little nervous was 18 then now this my first BFP since then

I'm officially out, and signs are pointing to me having a chemical. Best of luck to everyone who is still in x

@YorkshirePeridot I'm sorry, can I ask what makes you think it's a chemical? I've been testing negative everyday but today I thought af was here but it was really light. Did a test on frer and faint positive but I've continued to bleed which is pinky red every time I wipe. I'm fully expecting it'll be a chemical but it's strange yesterday I had a negative and yet today with bleeding it's positive.

could be chemical or implantation if you get heavy and clots that would maybe be a chemical and painful x

@jellyfish2 my period is much later than normal and so far I'm getting mainly brown clots and really bad cramps. Last few cycles I've gone straight into bright red flow and only crampy when it's at its heaviest. Just feels very different to a normal period. I also had symptoms which lined up with implantation at 7/8dpo but then I had absolutely no symptoms, of either pregancy or pms, from about 10dpo onwards.

It may not be a chemical but if it is I'm glad I didn't get a positive test as I've not had a chance to get my hopes up. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're not having a chemical.

@YorkshirePeridot it just shows there's a reason to wait to test doesn't it. I'm just so impatient but now I'm filled with loads of questions and will now have to wait a day or two to know the answers.

@UnicornPrincessSarah no clots as yet, will just need to play by ear and see how it goes.

@jellyfish2 fingers crossed for you

Thank you for sharing that’s so helpful! If you do t mind could I ask your age and how long you have been TTC? I have private health care through work and hadn’t even thought about going through these!

Ive ordered a thyroid and female hormone test from Randox health and so will be doing that in the morning on cd3, I’m 29 and on cycle 11 TTC I know there’s still time but I just want to know if there is something that flags as an issue before I have to going the dreaded nhs list! I’ll look into my private health care plan for sue though x

@Roseberry22 i have just turned 30, I fell pregnant first try in May 2023 then miscarried at 8 weeks, fell pregnant again first try September 2023 and miscarried at 4/5weeks. I then had a break October - Feb whilst I sorted my thyroid levels out. So only started TTC from Feb this year and fell pregnant cycle 2, March 2024! 😊

If you have private healthcare with work (I have Bupa) just go down that route. It’s so much easier, you just book a telephone consultation with Bupa Touch or whoever your equivalent is, ask for a referral for diagnostic testing for fertility and then you can claim everything via them if you select a Bupa approved practitioner. It was a very quick and easy process for me, saved so much worry than waiting to have another loss / going on a waitlist with NHS. I was seen, tested and diagnosed within 2 weeks and now feeling so much better x

ladies has anyone had this happen with their clear blue test showed BFP within 1 min of doing the test and now 10 hours later my line has vanished
AF due Wed/Thur I'm 11/13 dpo was done with SMU

I think anything read after the time specified should be disregarded, therefore you need not worry about it.

Thank you was worried my test maybe to faint for 11/13dpo don't track ovulation one app said 12th or 14th AF due wed 27th or thur 28th

Can anyone please confirm if I have actually ovulated this month from BBT? I know it’s missing some information to be completely accurate but have taken my temp at same time every day this cycle, for the first time!
Thank you xx

It certainly looks like it.

How's everyone getting on? The thread's gone quiet.

Taking some time out whilst on AF before preparing for another cycle

We're taking April off from TTC due to the MC and then whatever happened this month whether it was indeed a chemical or not. Just wanting to see how my period is in April, give my body a cycle and then start again in May.

On CD3, we go again! Month 9 since most recent loss. Had a gynae appointment and they've referred me for a hycosy and started the process for the fertility clinic (as it's a 3 month wait for the hycosy and that would put me at the 12 month mark for the Fertility appointment). So at least feels like something is happening! Easier to take than month after month of nothing. Aside from that just trying to eat better and throw myself into my fitness, I need to lose 8-10kg really to be comfortably under the bmi threshold for fertility treatments.

CD9 for me will start using OPKs again in a few days, fingers crossed for everyone this month
