Well I supposedly was going to ovulate on Monday according to flo so DTD that day and over the weekend beforehand, I haven’t done any tests until now and wasn’t planning to do any opks this month but yesterday I had some cramps so it has really confused me and had me stressed thinking Ive missed the best days to DTD and missed ovulation.

Anyways I’ve caved this afternoon and done an OPK and it’s a peak dye stealer!!!!

So I’m going to DTD today and tomorrow and the last time we did was Monday, so will I even be covered?🥲🥲🥲

LuxyLocket · 21/11/2024 16:46

hi @LucyLou0527 I would say you’re more than covered!! as if you dtd over weekend and Monday you’ll have sperm still there hopefully and as long as you do today and tomorrow you’ll catch the peak too! Eek So excited for you! That’s good you know your body signs and you’ve got this. 💕

Thank you sooo much you’ve made me feel much better! Next AF is due the day before my birthday so I hope I get what I want this year!😩🥰

how are you doing?

LuxyLocket · 21/11/2024 17:07

I’m keeping everything crossed for you my lovely and sending all the baby dust and extra festive baby dust too that is possible! ✨✨have really enjoy getting to know you, @Emiily887 and the others over the last few months. I soo want you to get a bfp for Xmas and that’s extra special if it’s your birthday too! I have a good feeling 🤞🤞positive positive positive thinking!
well cd29 today and no sign of AF so far. It’s saying I’m due on either today or tomorrow so the plan is if AF still hasn’t turned up tomorrow then I’ll be doing a digital again with DH. I wanted to leave it til day of AF so I havnt tested too early especially as I got a negative on the digital a few days ago. I’m alright though thank you for asking

Yeah I may give that a go - never really tried tracking BBT before

I'm so tempted to test right now but I know it'll be negative! I'm trying to hold out until maybe Sunday/Monday. What about you?

I have tested for the past 3 days 🤣 silly i know! Its only because of all the cramping I've been getting, just feels off thats all, will do another cheapy strip in the morning no doubt, I’ve no patience whatsoever 🙃

JoMummyJessica · 21/11/2024 17:53

So I bought the boots early detection and that was bfn also! Says its 99% accurate 4 days before af and I'm due on mon/tue! Wasn't fmu but still I think if I was I'd expect to see something if they r that accurate!

LuxyLocket · 21/11/2024 18:24

Hi girls, I’ve started spotting this evening, pink but looks like it’s getting darker. These were my tests this morning. I don’t understand it. This is exactly how my AF usually starts so I’m trying to prepare myself but I am absolutely crushed. After those tests I thought I was pregnant and this was finally it. Why does this have to be so hard. I just want to be a mum. Ttc after loss is the worst experience in the world 😢💔

How many dpo are you now? Maybe dr can do bloods as they are still pink lines so I'd hold to that! Some people bleed / spot throughout pregnancy so it can be normal! I did with dd, I had spotting at around 4 weeks which I thought was mc / chemical but it wasn't and I also bled quite heavily around 9 weeks but baba was fine!
I would feel same as you, seeing blood is worst when you are ttc ! Baby dust to u and thinking of you lovely

Sammig1986 · 21/11/2024 19:23

@LucyLou0527 yes you should be covered it’s up to 24 hours after ovulation the egg has to be fertilised I believe xxx

Sammig1986 · 21/11/2024 19:30

@LuxyLocket wow congratulations on the strong lines do not panic it’s prob implantation bleed I have had this in 2 pregnancy’s I was worried as it was definite bleeding but lighter than a period and had it for a good couple weeks and ll was fine and I had a healthy baby I would def contact gp explain your had positive tests and now your bleeding slightly and he may do a bcc blood count every other day to see how the numbers are that’s what I had and it went up and up and up hold onto that hope I have everything crossed for u 💓 xxxx

Sammig1986 · 21/11/2024 19:31

#hcg blood count sorry x

Emiily887 · 21/11/2024 19:47

@LuxyLocket I have really enjoyed getting to know you too my lovely! I am sorry you’ve started spotting but please remember it can be normal. Implantation bleeding can happen days after implantation actually occurred, and you can also bleed through pregnancy and everything still be ok - I did and everytime thought something was wrong. Said cause of bleeding is currently screaming at me for ice cream 🤣 - there is living proof that bleeding can be completely normal🫶🏼
With positives on all different brands I really think this could be it for you🤞🏼
If it’s not, we are all here. I know how hard it is having chemicals and losses so please know I am only ever a message away, whatever you need and whenever you need it. You’re not alone and although this journey can be frustrating and so so hard, it won’t be forever. One day, whether 9 months from now or years down the line (hopefully not that long though) you’ll look back at your journey and realise how precious it was. The wait will be worth it and I know you will be the most amazing mummy - your time is coming. Sending lots of love and hugs to you and I’m keeping everything cross this is it🩷

Thank you for the advice and reassurance, you girls really are my ttc besties! I will be sad when we all fly the nest lol!

Hopefully we can hop on a thread and moan about pregnancy together!🤣💞

LuxyLocket · 21/11/2024 20:55

Thank you all so much for your very comforting words how lucky I am to have this support around me 🥹i appreciate you all so much. I’m keeping an eye and will give the drs a ring if it continues and ask for a hcg blood test
it’s been so comforting reading everyone’s words and messages thank you all for making me feel a bit more re assured 💕💕

Tadpolecat · 21/11/2024 21:57

I'm another who bled! I was convinced I'd lost DS. I didn't realise how common it was to bleed in pregnancy until I had many others mums reassuring me they did too. I had 2 very big bleeds too, not just spotting. Never knew why but I went on to have a very easy pregnancy and birth despite this!
The worrying isn't easy, been there.❤️

Emiily887 · 21/11/2024 22:53

Ladies, I’m confused. Tested tonight just to satisfy my crazy testing urge (don’t judge) 🤣
OPK put me at 6dpo, maybe pushing 7 and I have a faint line? It is definitely pink in person. Surely not possible?!😱

omg!!! I hope it’s there tomorrow for you xxx

souiii · 22/11/2024 07:59

@Emiily887 I think I see the tiniest whisper of something, but not that sure. Definitely retest in a couple days, fingers crossed for you!

souiii · 22/11/2024 08:03

I resisted the urge to test this morning, but I am so bloated today and have a huge headache. I'm hoping that this is finally my month but after so many disappointments I don't want to get ahead of myself

Emiily887 · 22/11/2024 08:54

Same line again this morning! Definitely pink in person just seems too early 🥲

OP posts:
Knightbaby · 22/11/2024 09:43

@Emiily887 hopefully it will get stronger ☺️ I've another bfn this morning, had the weirdest very low backache last night, constant mild headache sat in the background, no cramping so far today or backache but been having the cramps and twinges all week, am 10DPO today 😐

JoMummyJessica · 22/11/2024 09:43

10dpo for me and bfn on both wondfo and boots early detection! Still 3/4 days till af due so trying to stay positive but it's so hard when u see that 1 line isn't it! Glad I can come on here and u r all so supportive, had little cry this morning and oh said just don't test till next week! Like it's that easy, they just don't get it do they!

Knightbaby · 22/11/2024 09:53

I admire anyone who can wait until they’re late 😅 she is not me 👀

I used wondfo too, I even zoomed right in on my cam, not even a hint! 🥹

LuxyLocket · 22/11/2024 10:44

@Emiily887 i hope it’s the start of something for you!!! 🤞🤞💕💕keeping everything crossed my lovely.
@JoMummyJessica totally understandable to have a little cry it is so disheartening 💕
AF is here for me. A day late. Lines are more faded this morning. There was no mistaking those clear pink lines I had plus my boobs were an early pregnancy sign as I had them before so I’m pretty sure I’ve had a chemical. Least I know we conceived again. Just didn’t stick. I could chase up bloods to know for sure but don’t know if I want to. It is what it is. Cried most of last night with dh but onto another cycle today and hoping for a Xmas bfp 💕thank you for all the support you’ve given me x
