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…

So sorry lovely i hope youre okay, baby dust for next cycle❤️❤️❤️

@jelliebean9 lots of love x

ohhh @jelliebean9 I'm sorry to read your update this morning. Be kind to yourself, it sounds like you are handling this like a trooper!! Sending love xx

@jelliebean9 I'm so sorry to read this this morning. Wishing you lots of luck for next month.

@ttcjourney20001 hope the doctors can help you today

I am now CD 7 and previously when I was ttc and tracking I tended to ovulate around CD12 so almost straight out of AF and into fertile window for me. Better get BD and will start OPK on Sunday I think

@jelliebean9sorry to read your updates, fingers crossed for you and try to rest and relax ❤️

I'm on 7dpo today and have some backache and slight cramps. Not sure if it's just hormonal, has anyone had experience of this at this point of the cycle? We DTD 3 days in a row over ovulation and I'm planning on starting testing tomorrow. I've ordered some FRER tests but usually use the cheap Amazon strip ones!

@devma I'm not sure if it's positive yet cause I don't think the test line is darker than the control line. But definitely start BDing!

@Katfluff21 those twinges could be anything and nothing. I'm trying not to look into things too much cause then there's less disappointment.

I think I ovulated overnight/this morning, just waiting for my bbt to confirm! Hoping this tww goes quick when I’m finally in it🤣

@BGxxx hopefully you have better luck than me my bbt rose at 5dpo this morning 😂and pretty sure I ovulated either Friday or Saturday 😂

Exactly like mine @jelliebean9 - it's so horrible isn't it. I barely let myself get excited this time as the same happened last month but even in those fleeting few moments you find yourself planning your whole life! Let yourself grieve, be kind to yourself, and I'll see you in the June group (although I'm not sure whether to take a month off as it's now happened two months in a row!!).

Omg bet you thought it would never happen!! I got my peak late on Tuesday evening so I’m guessing it’s happened because I had a bit of ewcm first thing this morning and now it’s gone. I find waiting for bbt to rise really stressful 🤣

@BGxxx first month tracking bbt, and it has really stressed me out 😂deff not doing this again so hopefully this month we get our bfp 😂I had the ewcm and the surge and peak in LH but then low bbt 😂soo confusing all of this 😂

Hey everyone, phoned the Dr but they can’t offer me an appointment for another 2 weeks, but obviously I can’t wait that long as I’m starting to avoid food altogether. I’ll try 111 or calling my midwife 🤢💀🫶🏼

Ah for God's sake @ttcjourney20001 definitely a good shout ringing your midwife.

Think I’d have to be dying to be offered a Dr appointment at this rate🤣 I’ll see how today goes but so far, continuously going sick at 3am this morning woke up at 7 sick again, had breakfast and kept it down so far but had a nap and my sickness is back I can feel I’m gonna hurl any moment

@ttcjourney20001thsts awful. Calling the midwife or 111 is a good idea

Can I have a bath while pregnant? Usually I have the absolutely scorching hot with no cold water added (my bf calls me a demon for this) but I’ve not had a bath since finding out and with how groggy I feel I could really appreciate one

@ttcjourney20001 yeah, you can. Just keep it cooler and drink water!

How cool is cool? I’m used to like the burning pits of hell kind of hot so probably have no concept of cool

when would you guys say that a negative test means youre out? 11 or 12 dpo?

i’m 11dpo tomorrow and i really cant say i feel any different and I dont want to test again if its inconclusive, ive heard 12dpo negatives massively decrease the likelihood of success

I think i’ve sort of accepted this isnt our cycle, it just feels like a dud without me even having conclusive evidence😂 especially when im torturing myself watching peoples tiktoks of getting bfp’s🤣

😂😂😂 if it feels cold to you then it's probably OK!

@devma I'd probably wait until AF is due/late to say you're out. On my DD is had the faintest BFP when AF was due. So faint that I dismissed it!

I mean I’m a maniac and tested at 6,7, 8 and 10 and got a BFN, told myself I was out until my actual period was missed, at around 14dpo I got my positive. Moral of the story - everyone’s different, some get BFN at 8DPI but some get positive. Some don’t get positive until 14,15 DPO xxx

I think a good marker is if it doesn’t make your skin read! I also love really hot baths, but TWW have had them much cooler

I always had a theory that in the TWW if I had a really hot bath then it would like exterminate the sperm inside, literally like boil them to the point they evaporate, always was convinced that was the case. In this TWW I didn’t have a bath and I caught straight away, might just be a huge coincidence

Did a test today 8DPO and now convincing myself that I can see something even though it’s definitely my eyes or just an indent (as was after the time frame). It’s the same every month 🙈
