Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

I’d say your peak is your highest reading so far, test again later to see if it gets higher but i’d say your peak is definitely today and not yesterday x

I’ve literally just had a chemical, and ovulated yesterday bang on time. So no delay or change really. I did notice less cervical mucus but not sure if that’s related!

Sorry you went through one too. That’s Hopeful, I’ve just started bleeding properly today, does that count as day 1 of period? X

I bought tablets with the ingredient rather than actual cough mixture. They taste horrible but thought it was better than having the sugar and other ingredients in cough mixture 🤣

Thank you xx I counted the first day as bleeding as day 1 personally. I found it tough as it took about a week to bleed after I realised and once I knew it was a chemical I just wanted to move on to the next cycle, so I’m glad it hasn’t been delayed. Apparently you’re more fertile straight after a chemical so hopefully this is true for us 🤞🏻

Good luck!! Hope we both get our bfp in May xx

You too 🤞🏻 xx

I managed to get a “high” score on fertility friend for the first time 🤣 me and partner have both had a really stressful couple of years for various reasons and we’ve definitely not had sex as much as we used to or ideally “should” for TTC. Like we wouldn’t manage the every 2-3 days all month that nhs suggest. We’ve usually managed twice between O-3 and O+1. So I’m happy with this!

10dpo today (not confirmed as havent done opks) but I got a negative test. I know it’s early so will test again over the next few days but still hard not to feel upset! Negative tests are just so horrible to look at aren’t they 😩

Hi Ladies 😊

I'm on day 3 now of positive OPKs! Should I assume I ovulated yesterday and LH is just still high? So confused!

We managed to DTD last night and the night before so hoping we caught it but we shall see x

Sorry to hear @MrsF111

@MrsF111 sorry, it is horrible x

@Katfluff21 I would keep testing just in case. And maybe DTD every other day until it drops, just to be sure!

@MrsF111im the same im out too, stark negative this morning, roll on the next month xx

It's so confusing as if I put another positive opk into Flo this morning it moves my ovulation to tomorrow! Why do we do this to ourselves 😂

sorry to hear about the negatives @peanutForever @MrsF111 it's awful. Be kind to yourselves today. xx

Google told me this, so maybe I'll just keep ovulation day as today and not log another positive test:

" The fact that you had three days of positive tests doesn't change the basic timing. You still ovulated within 12-36 hours of the first positive test.
In summary: Focus on the first positive test. Ovulation is likely to have occurred within 12-36 hours of that first positive result, and you had a fertile window that lasted 48 hours after the first positive. "

@peanutForever@MrsF111 sending lots of luck for the next cycles! Sorry it's so stressful, it's great support here though I'm so glad I found this thread! ❤️

Hi @Katfluff21 just wondering what CD you are on? This happened with my now 11 month old and turns out they were picking up on pregnancy not ovulation 🤣🥰

Negative this morning then AF came in full force. Would be 12do so defiantly not.
Roll on next month 😮‍💨

Hi everyone, currently on holiday in Spain - should be 5 weeks pregnant today, but had some light cramps with nothing else. When I wiped this morning after a wee my discharge is a really really light pink colour it’s only slightly pinkish but obviously alarm bells are ringing. Trying to keep my calm but after two losses it’s difficult. Is this normal?

@ttcjourney20001 hello. I can imagine the fear. I don't have an 100% answer for you but just maybe some reassurance. 3 of my friends had bleeding at 6 weeks and have all been perfectly fine. I would still get checked to be sure and to put your mind at ease so you are not stressing ♥️ when do you get back from Spain?

It’s only my first full day, back next Wednesday. It’s only when I wipe but I’m trying my best not to get worked up

@HappyTTcCD17 today, came off period on 19th april so I'd be very surprised if that was the case! You've got me thinking now though 😂

Sorry this was for @HappyTTc!

Anyone else using premom? I know I know, I've been crazy testing, basically keeping easy@home in business at this point 🤣 but.... the last 4 test strip pictures were all using the same opk, yet it's given me 4 completely different readings!! The photo were taken minutes apart. Has anyone else had this? I uploaded the test strip multiple times because the photo looked different to what it looked like in real life. I've always gone by the value given but now I'm doubting how reliable this all is. How has anyone else found this?
