@Runsandbuns i can definitely see great darkening between the 2!!! Remember everyone’s body and hcg levels will be different and also you can get very different results depending on the test! I agree once you’ve seen a darkening you’re happy with, not a bad idea to stop testing :)I booked a private scan with a company called meet your miracle but people have advised not to go until at least 7 weeks incase you don’t see much and it makes you worry more.

thank you so much for your kind words, we managed to fall pregnant after 7 months trying which I know isn’t a long time by any means, but as this is my first pregnancy it came as a bit of a shock that it had actually happened even though it’s what I’ve been dreaming of if that makes sense!

just want to get past this pesky first few months / get to 12 weeks BUT you’re right I need to try and enjoy the moment.. thank you so much xx

With picture too 🤦🏼‍♀️

Congratulations!!! Xx

Thank you @Wondergirl1111 💐. I also have just had period cramps (I normally get the first batch about a week before I'm due) so feeling less and less positive (literally) so just want to cry, but I'm grateful for your support xx

CD5 of my fifth cycle today so fertile window will be end of next week! Even my DH is getting impatient now and said last night he just wants this TTC stuff to hurry up 😂
Anyone else started a new cycle and gearing themselves up again? Any tips for follicular phase?

We are cycle day 5 🙋🏼‍♀️ following close behind you. All the best for this/next month xxx

Tadpolecat · 14/11/2024 06:39

Can anyone shed some light?
Premom has just moved my ovulation to earlier (it originally predicted today) based on my BBT. I'm using Clearblue digital tests only this month so I can't record them on the app! I got my static smiley on 12th November. I reckon I must have ovulated yesterday, 13th, looking at this (and because of the peak on Tuesday) but would you agree?
My first month using temping!

Good luck to you this cycle 🤞 I have everything crossed for both of us!
I used preseed lube last month but didn’t seem to do anything 😅 we’re not changing anything this month apart from when we DTD so we’ll see what happens! Xxx

HollyGolightly4 · 13/11/2024 17:29

I had a moment of weakness and bought a 6 day ultra early clear blue digital. Not pregnant 😭. I'm 9 DPO and AF is due in 5 days. Was this a stupid idea? Is there any hope or am I definitely out? I've been doing so well but it just messed with my head. 😭 Off for a hot chocolate now.

There's still time!! I tested 9dpo negative with one pregnancy and then positive at 11dpo xx

rebecca199 · 14/11/2024 08:38

JW24M · 13/11/2024 18:00

Sending so much love to those who have had AF appear, baby dust to those who are in TWW, a huge congratulations to those who have had a BFP & positive thoughts those like me who have no bloody idea what’s going on!! So many new people to say hello to - so a big wave to you all.

I’m meant to be ovulating this weekend - a very sad funeral on friday may scupper dtd plans but we’ve stuck at it! Thinking we may be able to miss friday due to funeral, provided we keep up with dtd every day this week, and then dtd sat/sun to give us a good chance! Not holding out hope for this cycle due to fri & the likely stress it will cause but time will tell!
Xx

Sending you love for your funeral Friday ❤️
I have my Nan's funeral next Wednesday and I'll be 9dpo, I will take a test and hope she's sent me my rainbow angel 👼🏼

MoonDaydream · 14/11/2024 09:07

I caved and tested this morning. BFN at 12dpo with AF due tomorrow. I really feel like that’s me out for the month.
It’s really hitting me hard. I was putting so much pressure on myself to get pregnant again first try after MMC. It’s been such a hard few months and I really feel like I’ve not even begun processing everything.

LolaJ87 · 14/11/2024 09:12

This is going to sound a bit weird but it might bring some comfort to some of you who are disappointed. I try to think that I will only get pregnant when it's the right egg to make my baby. I don't know if that even makes sense but obviously any egg/sperm combo will be different, so maybe your body/fate is just waiting for the right one. It might seem a bit silly, but sometimes reframing things can really help.

ThatSnugSwan · 14/11/2024 09:24

@LolaJ87 I tell myself the same and told myself this to comfort myself when I had an early loss

Inked1518 · 14/11/2024 09:36

I think I am also out this month. Af hasn't arrived and isn't due to arrive for another 4 days but I took an early detection test, a digital one and it said not pregnant so I think I can count myself out now :(
I'm absolutely gutted, I really swore things were different this month 😔

LolaJ87 · 14/11/2024 09:40

Oh no @Inked1518 🙁I don't think the digitals are as sensitive as some of the other early tests. Fingers crossed you're not out yet, as I know you had some promising symptoms and then those CB evaps.

Inked1518 · 14/11/2024 09:44

@LolaJ87 aww thank you but I read that 96% of people will have their positive on an early test from 5 or 4 days before so I'm just taking it as what it is I guess. Heartbroken but it'll be worse I think if I keep holding on to false hope too. I'll update if by some miracle my period doesn't arrive 🥰

Inked1518 · 14/11/2024 09:50

I'm genuinely so confused because (sorry for TMI) when I check my CM there's more of it today than yesterday and it's white creamy/lotiony type, normally before AF I am as dry as a bone. Gotta stop holding on to hope

Readysetgooo · 14/11/2024 10:06

@Inked1518 was woken up this morning with nausea and indigestion/awful gassy feeling in my stomach. I've been burping before eating anything and couldn't eat my breakfast. Don't want to get ahead of myself but this is exactly the way I felt last time round. Just need to wait and see how it develops and put it out my mind. Always a possibility my dinner last night was a bit iffy, who knows?!

Inked1518 · 14/11/2024 10:09

@Readysetgooo I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!! When are you due AF?? I'm praying it never shows for you!

Confusedmermaid1 · 14/11/2024 10:45

@MoonDaydream my sympathies, I had a MMC in July and I remember not feeling ready to see a positive and also being devastated that it wasn’t positive at the same time my first cycle trying again. My cycles still seem a bit erratic following the MC.. Hopefully it will be our time soon 🤞🏼

Readysetgooo · 14/11/2024 11:02

@Inked1518 I think 20/21st so still a week to go. I've ordered a couple of FRERs which I think should work at the weekend. I'm away for work next week and don't want to test when I'm away on my own so hopefully get an answer before then, either way.

For ages I've been telling my husband how I miss being pregnant and it was a lovely time. Today, this awful burning in my stomach brings it all back how sick and uncomfortable I was for most of it. All worth it of course but awful in the moment.

Sugarcube84 · 14/11/2024 14:20

After af arriving this morning dh and I had a chat we are 40 (me) and 46 and decided it’s worth investing in some at home tests so I’ve ordered hertility and exseed once we get the results we’ll decide on our next steps.

Aprilsunnyday · 14/11/2024 15:03

Hi, 👋
Although a bit late in the month I would like to join this thread please! 😊
Currently 7DPO and no confidence on if I've had O this month at all, tried opk but didn't have a peak. This is after MC at five weeks, early October. All to say, I actually don't know where my body is currently in the cycle!! Has anyone got some experience to share on how long it took for O to happen after a MC?

Otherwise, wishing everyone who is waiting to test, a big good luck 🍀! And congratulations to those who have confirmed pregnancies! 🎉

HollyGolightly4 · 14/11/2024 15:41

Sending love @Sugarcube84 , it's a big step but sounds positive xx

Positivity1234 · 14/11/2024 17:08

@Sugarcube84 i have also ordered hertility, they say to take the blood on 3rd day of your cycle. I ordered last month after AF and will be using it this month when AF comes (due tomorrow)!
