Hi all ☺️ I am now starting Cycle 6 TTC baby number one. I know some of us on January thread said it would be good to set up a Feb thread so thought i’d start it.

I should be ovulating around 17-18th so will be testing on 1st Feb!

I try to remind myself that when we worry we only suffer twice, it doesn't help anything. Don't steal tomorrow's grief. It's easier said than done though, especially when it's something that's so so important to you.

I'm feeling a bit confused as I had EWCM on Friday but have had nothing since. Usually I get it for 3-4 days 🤔. Anyone got any insight? Does it vary with cycles? Don't feel like I've been off contraception long enough to know

My EWCM seems to differ month to month sometimes. I usually get some 2-3 days before I ovulate and it stops before ovulation. This month I didn’t see any EWCM even though I’ve been drinking lots and eating better! So who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️ try not to worry though, sometimes it is just further up inside so you don’t actually know you’ve got it even though it is there x

My 3 year old has a tummy bug and was throwing up all night last night so don’t get to get jiggy or any sleep. Hoping I manage to squeeze it in tonight

@Mummy1502 It sounds like they’re taking good care of you which is good ☺️ could you speak to them before AF is due to check if it could be the Folic Acid?

I’m good thank you, it will be 7DPO tomorrow and really just want the TWW to be over now 😅 but trying to stay relaxed and i’m sure work will keep me distracted this week. Something feels different this cycle but I don’t know if it’s the change in supplements, eating better and doing some exercise or a mixture of everything 🤷🏼‍♀️😅 or a BFP haha we will see!

That’s what I’ve been doing too so really hoping but I caved and tested on a boots early test this morning and it couldn’t be more negative, in 2 minds, if the scan was right which it obviously is then I’ve defo ovulated later and that could be why, scan was Monday she said I hadnt
ovulated yet and looked like I was about to, so say I ovulated Tuesday/wednesday that would make me 6/7 dpo, will just have to see if af arrives tomorrow I spose, good luck to you, keep us updated, I will update tomorrow to let you know if af arrives xx

Sorry you got a BFN this morning 😕 but you are right you might only be 6/7 DPO so see how you go. Thank you, no change in symptoms yet but i’m going to try and hold out until Weds before testing. I have everything crossed AF doesn’t arrive for you 🤞 xx

Hi Ladies, I’ve had three days of flashy smileys now but currently on CD17 and I normally have 28 day cycles. I’m worried it’s getting a little late to ovulate in this cycle and if I do it will be late ovulation and affect implantation. Anyone had any similar experiences?

I'm the same, normally ovulated cd13 but cd16 today and only just got my peak smiley. BBT didn't rise this morning so I'm worried I haven't ovulated yet (or won't at all this cycle 😭)

If you do ovulate late your luteal phase should stay the same so you still implant @Lcc5261, your cycle just might be longer

oh really? I just assumed my expected period day would stay the same I didn’t think my cycle length would just get longer lol as I’m usually standard 28. Here’s hoping! X

I’ve been using the pink clearblue ones and it only gives you a smiley, no flashing so I find them easier

Thankyou, really crampy this morning so not looking good, although I’ve been cramping for a good few days now, I will also call the hospital this morning to see if my blood results are back xx

Morning everyone.
Think it's bad news. Negative test this morning with FMU. No cramping or bleeding, but think it may be a chemical pregnancy. On the phone to the GP ☹️

@AlbatrossSociety he’s 19 months now. That’s interesting about the water intake, I’ll have to let you know if I see a difference this month. I don’t think I could dry up anymore though tbh 😂

Sorry to hear that 😔 Hopefully the GP will offer you a blood test to confirm.

Confirmed everyone, our little rainbow baby has been taken up to heaven to be with our other angel baby. Absolutely devastated. Taken us three years, one loss - over a year since our loss and we conceived again only to lose it again. Feeling like a failure, a let down and a disappointment. It's put me off even trying again💔

Sorry i lose track what cd are you? A positive OpK like that's means ovulation potentially in 24-36 hours.

I’m so sorry, a loss is absolutely heartbreaking, we lost our angel baby at 12 weeks in June 2023 and been trying ever since, sending lots of love xx
