@bigbird1234I can definitely see something on yours. Fingers crossed!
I don’t have any other tests. I might just wait a few days I’m so rubbish at seeing faint lines 🤣

@rachael2308i think I can see something on yours but it looks a bit too close to the control line to me (might be wrong of course)

9-10dpo this morning and think i also have the beginning of something 🥹

I am out guys! AF came early this morning - completely expected so not shocked - little disheartened but another month to try! What prenatals does everyone use? I feel like switching mine up a bit.

@Sdjmi switched from Proceive max to ovum half way through this month

i use pregnacare x

Amazing! I will give them a try!

@DownWithCremeEggs@sophiealice55congratulations on the bfp

@Mummysparrowi agree looked too dark on the frer might not be a sensitive test or a chemical?

@LookForTheLiighti dont think so id try anyway if you can as its not a missed month

@FlyHighSky72oh lovely please try not to worrry! Its early days yet

@bigbird1234@Ec2808i see something!! Fingers crossed

@ChaE05thanks for asking about DH, me trying to nurse his shoulder + walking round in shorts got him excited enough and we managed to DTD the other day but i think its just outside of my fertile window hoping i ov early this month but dont think so 😭 a few hours later it popped out again as the socket is very loose and now his back hurts from the many attempts to get it back in...so hes taking long hot baths for that and killing his swimmers lol- hes scheduled for shoulder surgery in three weeks so thats me out both months but he is as gutted as i am so i feel less guilty about it!

Defiantly see something on that second one hoping it progresses for you!! 🤞🤞❤️

@peanutForever@YKM2829really hope soo…will see tomorrow 🥹🤞🏻🤞🏻

Been quiet on here for a bit as I have a long wait for CD20ish for my peak... didn't do an LH test yesterday as only on CD15 but felt a few twinges in my side and back this morning, and LH test had me at 1.84 on Premom app so I'm either just coming into/out of peak!! DTD last night, will have to try again today cause then I'm away with work all day tomorrow so next time to DTD will be Tues night so might miss if my actual peak is tomorrow. I had in my head peak wouldn't be until Friday this week so I'm super surprised and hoping I've caught it okay!! Least I'll be starting tww 5/6 earlier than first thought!

@NavigatingLifethink I might be in a similar boat to you… I normally ovulate CD15/16. Started OPKs 3days ago and super low. Was planning to start DTD around same time to cover us but hubby been poorly (and still is). Managed to DTD twice yesterday somehow, did my OPK an our ago and it’s shot up to 0.93 which usually means I’ll get my peak later today! I’m only CD13 today so thought I’d have at least 1 or 2 more days so means we’ll def have to DTD again today and tomorrow but feeling worried we haven’t done enough now 🙈 kind of glad I’ll be starting the TWW earlier like you but am hoping we’ve done enough!!

Thanks @peanutForeverI know it is - 2 months is nothing! I’d be ok if I knew if would happen at some point - it’s the worrying that it’ll never happen that makes me so sad

Hi all! Lots to catch up on, hope everyone ok!

Random but does anyone else have really light periods? Mine are about 2 light days and have been for a while. This month it was about 1.5 days. My last scan my lining was 8.4mm the day before ovulation so not really thin as I was expecting, but seems odd not having much blood?!

I see that!

It’s hard keeping up isn’t it?! I’ve been waiting for ovulation so just been lurking! My periods have always been really light - max 3 days and never heavy. Part of me started to wonder if that’s been part of my issue with so many chemicals but I’ve had 1 successful pregnancy and an MMC that properly implanted so I don’t think the heaviness of your periods necessarily means your lining is thin. I believe my issue is hyper fertility but would want to explore my lining thickness once my referrals for the recurrent MC clinic comes through. How did you find out about your lining thickness?

from what I read, a light period is only something to worry about if it’s not your normal. If they’ve always been like that then should be fine, I think if they’ve always been heavy then suddenly get a lot lighter then that’s something to look out for

Right what tests would everyone recommend as a 37 year old?! Happy to pay for stuff or go to the GP just want to check everything is all ok (have one DS 10 from a previous relationship)

Hope it’s ok me joining. 1dpo. It took 2 years to fall pregnant last time so I should really know what this journey is like but I just can’t stop myself hoping and wishing that it doesn’t take that long again.
So here’s to the crazy TWW. I have everything crossed for everyone!

I think my period may be on its way in the next few days as I just had a small amount of blood on wiping.
I am struggling to get my head around the fact I had the evap line on the clear blue last cycle and the false positive on the FRER this cycle.
How have I gone from conceiving in 3 cycles the baby I had to TFMR to still not being able to conceive over a year on. I am seriously considering coughing up the money to do some testing via fertilysis.

So I'm confused... I took another Ovum test today and was worried because it seemed lighter than yesterday. However I just did a cheapie/strip test which are apparently less sensitive and I feel like I see another line? What is going on 😆

Just want to send you some love, so tough on you. Sounds like you’ve been through so much xxxxx

Well, definitely there!

@DownWithCremeEggsdefinitely a line!
@Mummysparrowits tough going isn’t it, such a rollercoaster. Hugs to you.

I’m in the depths of symptom spotting, I’ve had tibgling boobs, tired and enhanced sense of smell. How much of it is in my head is another question 🤪

@BeSassyLemonFinch hii, I’m 4dpo today, the longest waittt 🙃🙃🙃

So, second month TTC, currently CD17 but after a chemical. So no idea if it will be a normal cycle.

Been tracking for 4 cycles. Anywhere between 28-35 day cycles, and I’ve had a Clearblue smiley on day 20 once on the 28 day cycle, and it’s likely I conceived last month around the same time even though it was longer.

This is where I’m at currently. Loads of EWCM today but my tests look like this. I’m testing 3 times a day but any gaps in times were just super pale tests cos I was super hydrated and didn’t bother taking a photo.

Do you think I just have a low baseline? They’re so faint.
