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…

@Disneybride did you have sex or anything? It could be something and nothing! I'm not sure about BBT, sorry x

@Iris2024 twice may be enough 🤞🏻

I see it @jelliebean9 congratulations x

@jelliebean9i defo think its a positive as it looks really pink and line seems about right for your dpo- Im so happy for you 🥹!

Congrats @jelliebean9!

I made the mistake of testing again and my easy@home test is exactly the same but a clearblue was lighter. My FMU was pretty pale but I can’t help feeling I’m heading towards another chemical. Sorry for venting on here - not telling anyone in real life. Fingers crossed it’s just a blip. I know hcg doubles every 48 hours but it was definitely lighter than yesterday.

@FigPig don't apologise for venting, that's exactly what we're here for! If your FMU was pale then the HCG probably just wasn't concentrated enough. The Clear Blues aren't the most reliable either. I know it's so tempting to test every day to see line progression but maybe try again in another couple of days?x

@FigPigfingers crossed you just drank lots of water yesterday!!

Ok so app has moved ovulation to today! Says my peak was yesterday - clearly I go up and then down really quick - anyone else like this? Will take another later this afternoon/early evening and one tomorrow in the afternoon just to confirm. Didn’t manage to DTD last night as partner was feeling poorly but did this morning so fingers crossed that’s ok! Slightly worried if I’m ovulating today as period is due 16/17th May which only gives me 10/11 days to implant! Is that enough?

Whoops meant to add this picture!

Also to say I’m going to try to hold out on testing until Thursday 15th which would be 10DPO

@FlyHighSky72I'm the same as you - peak last night so ovulation today, AF due 16th/17th!

Ooo @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolatehow exciting - cycle twins!! Baby dust for both of us

@jelliebean9congratulations!
and to anyone who I might have missed getting a BFP.
@Disneybrideim vaguely tracking BBT (well wrist temp) - I had a look at your picture and it made
no sense to me 😅 I’m just using apple health.
@FigPig - there are far too many variables at the moment - different test sensitivities - different pee concentrations. Try not to dwell too hard on it (I know) and do something to distract yourself until either AF is due or if you really want to keep testing, use FMU after 2 days with the same sort of test xx
@FlyHighSky72 I think 10 days or less is considered a shorter luteal phase - mine is very variable. I have had some entire cycles that are 14 days and some that are over 40. This was while on the implant though and since coming off they have been 25 and 29 days so hoping mine will stabilise.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 that the timings are all ok for you!

Let us know, keeping everything crossed for you❤️❤️❤️

I've not really been on the chat much since it started but first AF arrived on Friday since stopping the pill a month ago so now CD4 cycle 1 officially TTC #3. Just ordered some digital OPK online to get organised. when ttc before I ovulated around day 12 so will start testing end of the week

@jelliebean9 that looks pretty normal for 10dpo and probably similar to the one I had at same dpo with DD1. Congratulations.

Congratulations to all the other BFP on here

@ttcjourney20001 oh no poor you feeling so ill on holiday. I hope it eases up for you

@FigPig try and leave it a few days and maybe try a pink dye test which tend to be a bit darker. How many dpo are you?

Hi ladies 👋
currently in the dreaded tww either 1-2 dpo. First time measuring bbt and doing ovulation strips will attach my chart. What are thoughts? Did i bd enough? Also had a chemical pregnancy in march..a bit scared now to be honest because this is my first time experiencing something like this. Yesterday evening and this morning i’ve been getting random crampy twinges on my right and left side normally i can tell what side i ovulated on but i’m confused this month anybody ever experience this? Baby dust to all! And thank you for this forum 🤞🏻🤍🤍

@FlyHighSky72 mine dropped low again quite quickly, same as you. I've put a pic up. As @Bas27 said, anything shorter than ten days for the LP is considered short. I didn't track properly in the previous two cycles but I suspect I had a shorter LP. I'm hoping it stretches out a bit this month 🤞🏻

@FlyHighSky72 @Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate cycle triplets 😂 also due the 17th. Fingers crossed for us!

Best of luck @Bumblebee1984 🤞🏻

@Ec2808 sorry to hear about your chemical. Looks like you definitely BD enough this cycle 👏🏻

@SureLook AF is also due the 17th for me and thanks for commenting 😊

Well at least we are in this together for this cycle @SureLook@FlyHighSky72 ✨️

Ah cool - 4 of us then @SureLookand @Ec2808!
I’m hoping mine might be a bit longer this cycle, I’ve been focussing on being relaxed and I plan to eat lots of vitamin c rich food as google tells me that can help! Fingers very firmly crossed!!!

@FlyHighSky72 thank youu! soo glad we're in this together because the tww is literally torture I just can't 😂

Afternoon ladies, more to add to my disastrous Spain trip. Went for a lovely game of crazy golf with my boyfriend, 18 holes, lovely. Had a fanta lemon to hydrate myself, hadn’t gone sick this morning, life couldn’t be greater! After the game, other half wanted to go to Burger King, I have no appetite the last couple of days, so I’m sat at the table with a cup of crushed ice, because all smells make me want to die at the moment. He gets onion rings as a side, as soon as I smelt that shit*y little bag of onion rings I could feel the sick brewing, that lump in your throat. But we’re a 10 minute walk from the hotel. I say to him love we’re gonna have to go, cause this sickness isn’t waiting for anyone. Fast forward 10 minutes, get up to the room and the poor cleaners have been to spruce up the room and I have my head down the toilet not even 15 seconds after walking through that door. A mixture of muffin, nectarine and lemon Fanta has just blessed me with its presence in the bowl. Pray for me o_O

I can’t seem to keep any food down for more than a few hours, I’ve lost my appetite, I’m moody and tired and I’m only 5w+4d. The worst is yet to come I fear

Any advice anyone? Yesterday's looks darker to me so now I'm confused!

@Chocolateeggsarebetterthannormalchocolate CD 14 def looks your peak to me there's a subtle lighting difference maybe that why the app didn't pick it up correctly...
