How is everyone today? I’m 1dpo now 🥳
@LucyLou0527 I don’t know much about trigger shots but how exciting to finally have your peak!! How are you feeling?

I’m feeling good, been a bit crampy this evening actually but I don’t know if that means the egg is being released or if your ovaries are getting ready to?

Ive already dtd once today but do I need to again this evening?

LucyLou0527 · 14/10/2024 20:00

Lucyjane22 · 13/10/2024 10:31

16 dpo today and period is 2 days late 😕

Exact same thing happened to me last month🥲

@Emiily887 I always spot a few (up to 5) days before AF so it makes me think it's that. Although I also had some spotting/light bleeding at around 11-12DPO when I was pregnant with DS so who knows 🤷‍♀️

That must make it really difficult to know the difference! I really wish af symptoms and pregnancy symptoms were complete opposites 😟 fingers crossed it’s a good sign for you this month 🤞🏼

@Justbloodylovecrisps oh noooo! There’s nothing worse than one test getting your hopes up when just for a second! Really hope you get a positive soon🫶🏼

It’s hard to say, some months I cramp throughout the fertile period and others it’s obviously ovulation. I’d dtd if you want to but I wouldn’t put pressure on it as you’ll have sperm waiting anyway🩷

@Emiily887 really hope it's worked this cycle as SMEP really did a number on me & my hubby 🤣

Plumchumm · 14/10/2024 20:51

I also got my peak today. Me and my partner dtd twice yesterday (had no idea I was ovulating, was just a random wild night) and then once today on my peak. I honestly don’t think he’ll be able to anymore tomorrow (on actual ovulation day). Have we done enough? I’ve kept my legs up for like half an hour each time.

JoMummyJessica · 14/10/2024 21:04

Just joining as this is first month ttc baby number 2, dd is 5 and we had MC in 2020 when she was 1 and then again thus year in May so hoping for my rainbow baby this month! 3 dpo today so praying for October to be our month!
Scared though as we have had no tests or anything after 2nd MC as Dr says as I've had 1 successful pregnancy I'm not at high risk for another MC but I'm 40 in feb so time isn't on my side either!

LuxyLocket · 14/10/2024 21:07

Hi girls sorry just catching up. Had a weekend away which took my mind of the tww. I’m 7dpo in the morning 🤞it’s actually going quicker this time I can’t believe it’s half way through almost. Not feeling much yet, a few niggles and cramps and things but trying not to think too much into it as I had all this last cycle and wasn’t pregnant. Feeling very tired but I work in a school so that’s just the norm.
Ive made a promise to myself I’m only going to start testing IF I suddenly have very obvious signs, like the month I had conceived I just knew I was pregnant if that makes sense. I’m going to try and hold off another week and wait til I’m due on as the early testing last time got my hopes up too much and I don’t trust myself haha 😂💕
enjoying reading everyone’s updates!

LuxyLocket · 14/10/2024 21:10

@Plumchumm you Definitely sound like you’ve done enough! 🤞we only dtd twice this cycle, d12 and 14, but i definitely ovulated day 14 so i know we were bang on. If it hasn’t worked this time i know we gave it the best shot we could. I also did the legs elevated for at least half an hour after each time! It definitely helps! No leakage after! Sorry tmi haha
@JoMummyJessica I’m so sorry to hear of your 2 mc. I had one this aug, which was our first pregnancy. so I know how you feel ttc again after a loss. 💕hopefully the odds are on our side this time and we will have all the baby dust coming our way! 🤞

How was your weekend away? Relaxing and enjoyable I hope!!🥰
wow that has gone soooo fast!! If you manage to go without testing I’m going to try so hard to follow suit!! I always get the ‘but what if it’s positive’ urge and then just go test mad after that😂😂

The three days leading up to ov are the most likely to fertilise an egg so you’ve definitely done enough my love! It’s down to luck now🩷

Welcome! So sorry to hear about your MC’s, they are so devastating. We had our fair share ttc our son but we got there eventually. This time we’ve had a few chemicals but holding onto hope. I’ll keep absolutely everything crossed for you and hopefully we will see a positive leading to your rainbow baby 🤞🏼🥰

LuxyLocket · 14/10/2024 21:36

@Emiily887 It was lovely thank you for asking 🥰12 of us friends so very busy but crazy and nice! Certainly took my mind off it!
it’s good to hear that the days leading up to ov are a good chance. I’m happy with our days 12 and 14 and with opk and preseed.

if we all start crazy testing again I’ll run with it! I’ll just try and make sure I don’t get my hopes up too much like last time. But it’s so hard not to isn’t it. Have you tried to dtd every other day and day of during your fertile window? Sorry if that’s a personal question.

fingerscrossed2024 · 14/10/2024 21:42

Hi all,

New to this thread! Myself and partner had a chemical/early pregnancy loss back in June.. and since then I removed all these apps. I have joined today for some advice.. I was feeling a little sicky/strange so took a pregnancy yesterday (clear blue attached) it showed a pregnant line but I know they can run.. today I have taken another test and it seems like a line but a cheap digital is saying I'm not? Is this because it's just too early for digital or?
AF is due tomorrow!
Wishing you all lots of luck for the future!! ❤️

Lucky october?🤞🏼

Welcome @fingerscrossed2024 I’m really sorry to hear of your early loss in June. We had a mc in August so totally get it.
I also used that exact clear blue test with the cross last cycle and had the faintest line like yours, I also had barely there lines on hcg strips. AF did come for me but don’t let that dishearten you. It’s still very early. The fact you’ve been feeling sick and strange is a positive sign! I’m keeping everything crossed for you. Test again in the morning first thing.

Emiily887 · 14/10/2024 22:00

@LuxyLocket sounds like you had a fab time and good that it helped take your mind off things! You’ve definitely got it covered even if it was two days, they’re two of the most fertile days and it only takes one after all! 🥰
I ovulated CD20, dtd CD16, 17 and 19 so hoping that has us covered! I was hoping to catch the day of ovulation too but because it was so uncertain this month we tried covering all bases and I won’t lie we were just done with it by yesterday😂😂 hopefully it was enough!

Welcome! These do look promising but I know CB are notorious for false positives. Saying that, the cheapie looks promising!! As said above retest in the morning and see what comes of that, really hope it’s good news and keeping everything crossed for you lovely xx

Thank you for your reply. Ahh I'm hoping so much but I guess time will tell! I've realised you can't see the line in the picture I uploaded so here is it with flash on! X

Justbloodylovecrisps · 14/10/2024 22:18

I've gone mad and done another test before bed. I swear I can see a squinter but I think I'm just addicted to POAS & have permanent line eyes. I'm scared my hubby is going to see them all in the bin 🫣

Joleyjojo · 14/10/2024 22:20

I’m CD12 today started SMEP on CD9 , had high reading on CB CD9 waiting for peak. I can ovulate late in cycles so this could be quite gruelling 😂😂😂😂😂
