Is this positive for peak ovu?

[Bambin0]

Hi, I have an app to read the ovulation strips but it's saying it low. I'm expected to ovulate today or tomorrow. It looks really dark to me.
I'll attach a photo

Aw bless you sweetheart 🥹🩷 I'm sorry. But please don't be too hard on yourself. Just take the time to digest, and you do what best feels comfortable. Yeah I'm just gonna wait and see if AF turns up I think up ☺️

Ah see I ended up reading this earlier too.
I think I'll wait to see if AF turns up on Friday 😊

@Bambin0 Has af arrived yet?

Yes, sadly. she arrived Friday at 8pm. How are you doing? X

@Bambin0 Sorry to hear that. I’m around 7/8 dpo and not giving it much thought. Won’t be too sad if af arrives as I just bought a menstrual disc and want to try it out.

How did this month go for you Emma? 💕 Any double lines or are we both in it together again this month?

I've not ovulated yet so it's gonna be a long one lol 😆 hope you're well 💯

Xx

@Bambin0 No luck, I’m due to ovulate by the end of next week.

Hi ladies. I'd love to join this as it looks like we're on similar timescales. I was out this month after the lightest 'period' I've ever had, alongside weird symptoms which completely convinced me I was pregnant. Negative tests all the way up to 17 DPO (yes, I was in denial!)

I ovulate quite late and have a short luteal phase after a MMC in February so I think I'll ovulate around the 16th August.

I drove myself crazy these past few weeks! Hoping you're all okay. It's sometimes hard discussing every single symptom with your partner as they're not in your body and can't feel every tiny little pull, cramp, soreness. 😅

@WildWhirlwind How long have you been trying for before your mmc? Did your cycle change a lot since then. I feel like my mmc made my cycle do a 180 turn. No more cramps, spotting for longer after initial bleeding. Ovulation has now seemed to settle between days 14-15 (before it was anywhere between 11-15). I can also feel ovulation coming from ovary pains.

Hi @emmatcc1. It was about four cycles until we conceived. We're now about four months out since I had a negative pregnancy test after the MMC. My cycles used to be like clockwork, very normal. Since, they've been all over the place. A month where I bled for a couple of weeks, two months of light periods, short luteal phases. It was twins so I don't know if that has made a difference. Maybe I'm reading things wrong but lots seem to have a month or two of strange periods after a MC then it goes back to normal. I'm still waiting...

I'm going to use Hertility to see if there's a hormone out of range and work on getting my lifestyle back to how it was pre-MMC.

Just read you also had a MMC in February. I'm so sorry. Mine was also then.

Did it take a while to get a negative pregnancy test?

@WildWhirlwind I was bleeding for three weeks and then ovulated two days after bleeding stopped. I think I took a test when my period was due and it was negative. I think it took 2-3 periods to regulate. How far along were you?

Okay, hopefully mine will regulate spon. I was six weeks but found out at the 12 week scan. Had such strong symptoms throughout first trimester but just 'felt' that something was up.

I've read lots of women just feel something is up.

@WildWhirlwind I also had a feeling something wasn’t right. I had strong symptoms as well, I was nauseous until the day I started bleeding which was at 9+4. I think mine stopped developing around 5-6 weeks and I found out at the 8 week scan. I choose to let it pass on its own and I miscarried at 10+2. On cycle 7 now and I’m completely drained from this ttc journey. It took us 14 months for the mmc and I was really hoping it’s gonna be faster now but I guess not.

Hi girls 👋🏼
Sorry it's been a bit of a crazy few weeks.
I am 9dpo.
My partner has left and I'm scared to test in case this is the month, it will be okay but I don't know what to think. I've ordered some cheapies but I may wait to see if AF turns up. Idk if I'm brave enough to look at a test feeling how I am

Hope you are all okay, sending love as always 💕

@Bambin0 I ovulated yesterday or today I think. Weirdly no ovulation pains this month. I haven’t been tracking anything for quite some time now but I know when I’m ovulating because of high sex drive.
Has your partner gone on a work trip or something else? If you test or not it’s not gonna change the outcome and you’re not far from when af is due right?

@emmatcc1 I'll never not trust my female intuition again. Sounds like it was strong for you too... Or however you wish to view it. It's so, so disheartening when you hear of so many people getting pregnant the cycle or two after a miscarriage and it doesn't happen for you. I'm constantly wishing anonymous people on Mumsnet would get pregnant so I extend that to you! I can't imagine how you're feeling after all this time.

I'm hoping I ovulate over the next few days as I think my cycle is regulating.

@Bambin0 keeping everything crossed for you! Sending you patience and wishes. We'll be here in the comments if you need to discuss anything. 🙌🏼

@emmatcc1 To be brutally honest, he walked out. We've spoken since, he's struggling mentally. We don't argue at all but had explained he's also overwhelmed. But yeah it's made me rethink a few things.

I've tested tonight because I had some light pinkish when I wiped (10dpo) and idk if you can see but there's a faint line. Happy, nervous, emotional.?

Cramps so AF could still show but she's a few days away (if my cycles are back to 27-28cds) I'll attach the picture

@WildWhirlwind thank you so much love 💕 I might as well be open with you girls cause I have not a single soul to confide in.

@WildWhirlwind The pregnancy announcements around me are non stop. Everyone just seems to get pregnant so easily. I’m hoping for some healthy pregnancies soon for all of us.

@Bambin0 No way he did that. It looks like he might not be ready for a child and needs a long talk. This is a scary and life changing decision. Hope you’re okay.
I can see a faint line on there, try fmu maybe?

I’ve been struggling a bit a well. Ttc is really taking a tool on me and my relationship. I’ve just been moody and emotional all the time so we only dtd once in this fertile window. We’re coming up to 2 years of ttc and I really want to take a break but just don’t feel like I can put this on hold for a bit. I think I might be fine with having only one child as I’m not sure I can do this again.

@emmatcc1 Aww love, I totally understand, all of it. It's a lot on you and a lot of strain on a relationship 😔

What have your doctor's said? Dare I ask that because I know how uncaring and useless some can be.

Yes he did and the whole dynamic has changed for me. There will be no more trying and it breaks my heart but it's clearly the right thing, just in shock.

Haven't taken a fmu one yet. X

@Bambin0 I think we just have bad luck. We haven’t had any testing done as I think I’m not ready for all that yet but I don’t think there’s anything wrong really sorry tmi my partners sperm looks fine in terms of consistency, color and quantity. His sex drive is fine, I have very regular periods no excessive bleeding or strong cramps. While I was doing bbt my temps went up high after ovulation so I’m guessing my progesterone is okay. The time we did conceive we were literally both sick with a fever and barely dtd so I don’t even know how that happened. The only concerning thing is my lack of fertile cervical mucus. My doctor is kinda careless and didn’t bother explaining anything about my miscarriage so I don’t think I’ll bother going to her.

How are you feeling physically and mentally? Any unusual symptoms? I can’t imagine how hard this must be.

I'm sorry I'm panicking

@Bambin0 There’s a line 100%. Congrats!!

@emmatcc1 Emma the older I'm getting, the more I'm realising doctors lack knowledge in women's bodies and the hormone cycles etc, fertility. The things I have been told are ridiculous.

I read a lot on different things and see girls experiences on tiktok and they are all like yourself. Healthy and nothing out of the ordinary. Also seen people use that preseed, that helps with girls that don't make much CM to help hold the sperm in there etc. Have you seen many remedies or girls TTC on tiktok, I find it very helpful x

I took another. Ignore the worktop, I'm stripping and redoing the bathroom (that's hair dye lol)
