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…

Thanks @jelliebean9! Makes sense

@Bumblebee1984this is my first month TTC and tracking. My cycles range for 28-29 days recently and I ovulated on day 18 hence only 10 days to implant! Hoping you’re right and my cycle is longer this time but not sure - very worried it might be impossible for me to implant even if I conceive

@FlyHighSky72 ah ok. Well hopefully as you ovulated a little later then maybe you'll have a slightly longer cycle to give you that slightly longer luteal phase.

Anyone else quite early on in their cycle? I'm only on day 5 today and if my cycles are like how they were when ttc last time I'll be due to ovulate around CD12 which would be this time next week

Just tested at 8dpo with afternoon wee! Ermm whyyyyy did I do that lol. Obviously a bfn! Was going to hold back until 10dpo and was totally fine with that. But had a sudden urge.

@ChaE05 i feel you! i'm 3-4 dpo and seriously fighting the urge! but i'm running to the toilette like every 15 minutes which was my first symptom before bfp with my daughter so i dunno 😂

If it’s a consolation, my cycles are 26/27 days usually and my luteal phase is 14 days, I ovulate on day 13/14. Going on pains and EWCM coming and going. They’ve been that way since stopping BF. The first month I used the OPK, the digi cb ones with the smiley. I never ovulated until day 17! Which was super late for me. I got a little obsessive with the OPK and trying to catch the peak with intercourse that I think it made my cycle rouge. If it’s your first month doing OPK then maybe it’s something like that too?? It’s almost like we will it so much and focus on it so much that it doesn’t happen 😂

I hope so @Bumblebee1984because I’ve never used OPKs before I’m not sure if this is normal for my cycle or not. I have a DS who is 9 conceived first cycle trying but I was 9 years younger then and my cycles were more like 30 days so not sure!! Fingers crossed

@FlyHighSky72 hopefully it happens quickly like last time

@ChaE05 they urge is hard to fight isn't it. Still so early for you so hopefully the next test is a positive

You might be right @jelliebean9- we’re so like cycle twins! Is your period due on the 16th too??? Fingers crossed for a longer luteal phase and nice sticky beans for us

No, sadly not, I’m due on the 9th. Currently 11dpo, tested with a faint positive yesterday and today 🙏

@Iris2024 girl gang 😂😂 also feeling nervous! I'm worried that something is wrong after my D&C in February.

I'm feeling a lot of positivity in this group 👏🏻

Hey has anyone had an raspberry leaf tea to help ttc? Anythjng else anyone is doing to hellp?

@peanutForever just praying to the conception gods 😂

Meee! 🙌 I’m 6dpo today. Started BBT training this month and I’m pretty sure this a good surge, does anyone know?

Had progesterone blood test today as I’m on Letrozole, 6th cycle with PCOS. TTC for much longer than that though! Had no period for years after my son.

Sorry forgot to attach pic!

I'm feeling a bit deflated too, I just feel like it's not going to happen this cycle.

I used to test from 9 DPO as that's when I got a BFP with my daughter, but after a couple months I found it too depressing so now I don't test at all and just wait for my BBT to drop 🙃

In a Tapas bar having a water whilst everyone around me having a drink. Run to toilet and obviously by now you all know what I did, ruined their toilet too. Definitely will be contacting the Dr tomorrow when I’m home because this sickness is just ruining me

Looks like a solid rise! I had a big dip in temp yesterday at 6DPO but it's back up today, don't know if that means I'm out as it needs a sustained high temp, or whether it doesn't matter or was just a dodgy temp reading.

I'm gonna try hold out on testing if I can. I tested early before and was hopeful when it was negative only for AF to then show. I didn't test early last cycle and didn't feel as bad when AF came. Although, this is my first cycle properly tracking with OPKs and now that I know when I ovulated I think I'm gonna find it harder to resist this time!

Yes this exact feeling!! just trying to remove the thought from my head when it creeps in and stay positive 😆🤞

That would be great! Everything crossed 🤞🏻

I bought some but hadn’t used yet! In 2WW and read it can affect implantation, but will try it next cycle before ovulation

I’m on cd9 and I caved and bought some opks. They came with 20 cheapie hcg tests too 😬😬 so now that temptation is in my future.

@ttcjourney20001 how much is this affecting your ability to eat/go about your life? If things haven’t changed much since 2021 they will probs offer you cyclazine.
I was in absolute fresh hell both my pregnancies (maybe I’m insane to be doing this again). If you want a sympathetic ear/to complain about this sickness - I’m your gal. 🖤

So far, so good, but at 6dpo it's too early to say really, as the decrease you get before AF is usually from around 10dpo. If it's still looking like this at the end of the week that's a good sign 🤞

Oooh good to know what I’m looking for! Thanks for that :)

I’m trying not to overthink anything, but I have been extremely tired past two days and also OTT emotional. Tiny bit of pink spotting today, but also had that 3DPO so not unusual. Been TTC for so long, not expecting anything!

I think that means you’re still I the running if it’s gone back up :D I won’t lie though, I’m researching now as it’s completely foreign to me!
