4dpo tomorrow! Anyone else? :)

[lockdownbabyx]

Hey all, 4po tomorrow! Would love company to make the days go quicker 😁

Cycle 2 TTC after an early MC last month! DP works nights so trying this month wasn't great timing wise. We managed to BD 5 and 2 days before ovulation so I'm hoping it's enough.

Xx

I'm exactly the same, period cramps and spotting. I did another digital and it went to 2-3 weeks so it seems to be progressing. Hopefully it continues to progress for us both x

Morning!

How is everyone doing?

I am on CD7, so will start my Clear Blue digital ovulation tests again on Tuesday. I can’t believe how quickly time goes, and also how expensive TTC is! 22£ every month for the tests and then god knows how much for all the vitamins, supplements, Preseed, etc.!

Hey ladies! Sorry I've been quiet, just wanted to get though AF without thinking about TTC. CD 5 now and ready to start this roller coaster again, with some of you ladies of course!

@JKDcot so sorry to hear AF arrived for you too, evap lines are so so cruel. You will have us on your next cycle to keep you company ☺️.

How is everybody? Any body else testing LH this cycle? Il probably start at CD 10 x

Thanks so much @lockdownbabyx you’re so kind. I wish you success in this cycle. It will happen!

I am 42 so wondering if I should just give up. All I see is babies everywhere at the moment and it’s just too emotional x

@OverthinkingBrain Yes i did a test this morning ( not a digital) but a clear blue one and it was a positive straight away with a thick line and compared to my same test i did on Monday it’s much darker! I haven’t had any spotting today either so i’m hoping that’s the end of it and i can just think positive!

Glad your tests were good too, hopefully that’s that and we will just progress as we should!xx

Good luck to you all, I'll be following along and cheering you all on! @JJKDcot try to stay positive, I know it's a lot but if you really want a baby then keep trying, atleast you can say you gave it your all? Got everything crossed for you too x

Awh yess this is really good news! I'm so pleased for you. I'm spotting less, but it's fine, I'm not letting it get to me. Whatever is meant to be will be!

@OverthinkingBrain yes im trying to have the same attitude! i’m also not going to test for a few days… or try not to. I just need to think as of right now i AM pregnant so that’s that. I might do another at the end of the week just to make sure the line is as dark.
I did have some pinky CM when wiping this morning, which isn’t nice to see is it, always makes worry set in! But just going to try ignore i have no cramps again today as of yet so we shall see!

Hoping for a good week for us both!!xx

Hello Everyone! Hope everyone is doing Well ❤

CD 7 for me, i'm not buying ovulation strips this month, my fertile window is over Halloween and our Wedding Anniversary is the 30th, so i'm just going to go with the flow and see what happens xx

(She says... 😂)

Cd4 for me I’ll be using ovulation strips from around day 10

congrats @AmberM223 and@OverthinkingBrain

Hello! CD8, starting O tests tomorrow. Here we go again! Can’t believe it’s already 3rd cycle.
Definitely won’t be aiming for SMEP this cycle, or ever again! Just gonna try every other day.

How are you feeling? My spotting has stopped and no cramps today so feeling better.

Might be a good idea to take the stress away from it all...if you can hold out 😂 happy anniversary

Thank you and good luck for this cycle!

Oo good luck! We dtd 2 days before positive opk, the day of positive and the day after. Everything crossed for you 🤞lucky number 3!

Just wondering on what cycle day everyone has had BFPs before? My cycles were always shorter after having the coil removed but consistent and like clockwork. I then had a chemical in July and that's all gone out of the window. The shadows I thought I'd seen before were just that, shadows, but yesterday and today I've had a few squinters. I now have no clue when I ovulated (can't cope with testing that as well at the moment) but I'm thinking it may have been later than I thought...
Also, tell me if I'm completely out of my mind and they are all in fact BFNs or more shadows (all potential hallucinations were visible within the time frame!)

@OverthinkingBrain i wasn’t too bad yesterday, however woke up this morning and spotting light pink again when i wipe and a little in the loo 😣 so i’m feeling really low! Only 5+1 so no one can really do anything anyway at this point. I also have some mild cramps x

I had my first squinter at cd 26, 2 days before my expected period. I think I can see a faint line but it's hard to tell. Here's my first squinter for reference. After this test, I used the same fmu and tested positive on a clear blue digital.

Try stay positive, I had like some watery pinky dribbles into the toilet and cramping, it's all on and off, but it's okay. Try not to stress, easier said than done I know x

@OverthinkingBrain thank you so much, hate that we are going through this but glad i can talk to you! I’m sat at my desk secretly crying. I just don’t know why it would spot for this long - alongside the cramping. it’s hard to feel hopeful and most stories i read end bad - so i need to stop that now!
Hope that’s the end of the spotting for you!!xx

Omg don't cry! Everything's still fine at the moment. When I had my previous miscarriage at 8 weeks, the cramps were so intense and the bleeding was so heavy, so until you have that then I don't think there's anything to worry about. I've just seen another post on here where someone is spotting and a lady commented saying she was spotting too and is now 22 weeks pregnant. I think we are both scared and worried, I'm mentally prepared for the worst but I'm not putting the negative vibes out there, find a way to remain calm and positive.

Thank you @OverthinkingBrain ❤️

CD9, did my ovulation test. The joys of peeing in a cup.

I am trying to focus on the positives this time, I am only 31, had no trouble with conceiving first, have a some what regular cycle, and it should be exciting to think of the prospect of having a second baby soon.

I think last month all the evaps and indents just traumatised me, so I’m not gonna pregnancy test at all unless I miss my period.

I am slightly worried that my cycle is now only averaging 27 days, maybe I’m on too much Inositol?

I think it's a good idea to not test and try to manage the stress and emotions of it all. I don't really know much about inositol so I'm not sure.

@OverthinkingBrain inositol is a non prescription supplement to regulate cycle. I was advised to take it by my endocrinologist when I lost cycle due to stress a year ago and it made it come back and be regular ,it’s just gotten shorter

CD10 and empty circle on the CB test.
I am glad as I ovulate around days 15-17, so last month when I got the high fertility flashing from CD9 it felt like such a pressure to have sex for a whole week even before the peak !

I think this is actually my least favorite part of the trying - the trying !! As it’s so much pressure
