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…

Okay fair enough. I got positive OPk on CD23 then very strong positive pregnancy on day 26 🤣

Keep an eye for the next 24 hours maybe and if it's still the same or worse have a look to see if you could get checked over there ?

I just went to the toilet now and wiped and there was nothing. So weird

Hmm @2Sugars2that does look weird! No advice here but watching with interest!

Good luck @ttcjourney20001

Did you have a positive opk earlier in the cycle? X

No just flashing smileys on the clearbule advanced. Never a static one .. so I assumed i wasn't ovulating 🙈

Day 6 here, which is the earliest you can implant apparently. Obviously that means I am on red alert for any symptom, but other than a rather sexy case of bloating I have NOTHING.

I hate the TWW 😭

I'm 9dpo (I think, following a MC at start of the month I didn't LH test). Have tested daily for the last few days, obviously BFN but satisfies an itch!
Had a bad headache plus a bit of an upset tummy yesterday and today (which I had before my BFP) so am in major symptom spotting mode! No pulling sensations though so who knows... I think it's unlikely because I have always struggled to conceive but can't help but hope! When are you planning to test?

I'm 7DPO and feeling absolutely nothing! I tested today which I know is way too early 😅 Feel like it's going to be long weekend..

Hi everyone! Fell off the thread for a bit over my ovulation window, I'm 2DPO now. Saw a friend earlier who I haven't seen in ages and she was just casually like "oh yeah, cus I'm going to have a little boy". I didn't even realise she was pregnant. It's really thrown me, I just wasn't expecting it especially as she's always said she'd never do it again- we met at hypnobirthing class while pregnant with our DDs.

I just feel like every time I hear of another pregnancy it messes with my head for a few days, I'm just tired of it.

Does anyone know if having sex more than once a day negatively impacts chances of conceiving? I feel like yes right? Because sperm doesn't have a chance to regenerate?

I’ve heard that @AlbatrossSociety- I’ve heard every other day is probably the best (unless your partner is super young and virile!)

Ah something similar happened to me this week at work, and I just opened Instagram and saw two new babies of loose contacts announced. I’m starting to feel really sensitive about things like workplace announcements - does it really need to be announced in a team meeting? But equally I feel bad for almost wanting to take that nice thing away from someone else!

@Muddysocks1 that's great that you got your high 👏🏻

@peanutForever & @YKM2829 sorry you are out, onwards and upwards x

That's interesting @Katfluff21 that's good to know.

@ttcjourney20001 did you have sex in the last few days? That could explain the bit of pink. And the cramps could just be a bit of stretching.

Sorry @2Sugars2 I don't have any adive x

@AlbatrossSociety ah I know what you mean. It's just shite. A friend announced her pregnancy on Mother's Day which stung a bit. But she already has a DS with additional needs and she has two losses and a D&C since him so she absolutely deserves it. I was delighted for her but it still stung. I've also heard that about having sex more than once a day. Research seems to show that every second day is good.

I’m 6dpo too. And I am fully convinced I’m pregnant. I feel the hormones are exactly the same as with DS. I cannot wait to be proved wrong next week 😂 when are you testing?

I think Saturday?! Which is too early but anyway. What about you?

We’re cycle buddies on the same CD @2Sugars2

@ttcjourney20001 a bit of spotting or bleeding can be normal. I would keep an eye and if any doubt when you get back then try and get an appointment at the epu. I would personally take it as a good sign that’s it’s very light and not constant.
@AlbatrossSociety I have also heard that. I seem to remember that we did every other day with DD for this reason…. Although it’s amazing how quickly things get hazy.

It will scratch the testing itch 🤣
I have 2 clearblue tests, that I refuse to use without being very certain cos of all the evap posts I see on here. So I’m really really trying to hold on for Saturday 10th 😩 but we’ll see!

Can anyone help me understand why my lh is higher than normal at 3dpo?
i had a strong surge this month and it tapered off slowly, but I wasnt expecting 0.37 reading today😅 it usually drops back off to 0.1~

im adamant I wont test until a missed period (which is due 12th May) and I have a long way to go for the tww but just wondering whats happening as i’ve not experienced this before, if its a bad sign etc (im aware it isnt a sign of pregnancy)

@Bas27 cycle twins! We can keep each other company in the dreaded TWW!

@devma I don't actually know, but I had a 0.4 for a few days after my peak one of the the cycles I conceived. Obviously not because I'd conceived but that suggests it's not a bad sign! Never happened to me any other time.

I’m sort of regretting using OPKs - they’re really stressing me out! How can my LH be this low and going down

@FlyHighSky72 stick with it.... mine were like that. I've had to test multiple times throughout the day to catch my peak today. But yesterday my levels were very low also. I think some people have a gradual rise and some people have a sudden rise.. I know it's frustrating but keep going.

Thanks @2Sugars2- just finding it super stressful!! Premom is now suggesting I might ovulate on Sunday….fingers crossed

I am relatively new to it and felt like this a week or so ago! Here are mine from this month so far if that gives you any reassurance x
