New Thread❤️

Hello and welcome ❤️ I’m 41 and TTC. Lovely to see you here and sending baby dust.

Also I’ve noticed my boobs are not sore this cycle - strange!

Thats what I was assuming 🥲ugh tbh this test was only £1 so better than getting a clear blue evap😂

Congrats to those with BFP over the last few days, lovely to see for you! Unfortunately AF came today for me at 14DPO so im pretty gutted! And going by calculations... if i was to try on next cycle I would be due a few days before my brothers wedding where I am bridesmaid at next year so think i need to skip a cycle 😪 it's a really awkward feeling I have about it that I now have to wait until mid aug for an LH peak to try. DH thinks we shouldn't think about the wedding and just try but I would feel awful to miss it.

@am44aremind me what dpo you are? You’re not out till af arrives I might be wrong 🤞🏻

i’m cd 34 currently no idea on dpo as was busy this cycle

@Iris2024 thanks so much ❤️

@NavigatingLife honestly I would just go for it. I wouldn't want to miss an opportunity. I'm probably a bit pessimistic after two losses in a row but I wouldn't miss out for someone else's special day. And it's only one day!

Hello everyone, wanted to say hi 👋🏼 Have been following along for a while but we’ve only just started trying this month (had to wait to get my coil out). We’re trying for number 3 but the first two are ID twins! Hoping for a singleton this time 😅On CD15/1DPO, it’s going to be a lonnnnng two weeks because I’m already obsessing!

Feel like I can’t compare to last time as we got a pretty strong positive at 7DPO, with hindsight we know why!

Nice to meet you all ☺️

@am44ado you usually have longer cycles? ☺️

@SureLooki can totally see your point on this and sorry to have read about your losses, I'm sure that's been so tough and hope you're okay. I think I'm fighting between head and heart.. head says logically I should skip as the wedding is out of the country so lots of challenges, but heart just wants to keep trying and not skip a cycle! I'm going to try not to obsess too much over it for a few weeks as I'm only CD1 again and see if my head or heart wins

@DoubleDandelion welcome and best of luck!

@NavigatingLife you do what's best for you and what feels right ❤️

Ah hi there@DoubleDandelion, I think we’re similar timings wise.
Thankyou very much @Iris2024- very best wishes to you too!
@NavigatingLifeapologies if I’m being too intrusive here, but wouldn’t you have to miss two cycles if it’s abroad? As you’d be 36 weeks even if you fell pregnant next next cycle… it is really difficult trying to fit a pregnancy around all the things you would like to do, and I completely understand not wanting to miss big life events. It’s annoying that pregnancies just do not come along exactly when you want them to!

For the past year it’s been the case. I did have 28-29 day cycles up until July-August 2024 where I think I had a suspected chemical which made my cycle 34 days long. Since then my cycles have been 30-38 days long:/ I assumed it was stress
as my March and April cycle lengths were 32 and 30 days but I guess it’s not unless travelling delayed ovulation this month

Hi everyone and congratulations on the BFPs.

Sorry if someone else has asked - struggling to keep up as I'm dipping in and out trying not to obsess (all the while, most definitely obsessing! 🫣😂)...

My last two AFs have been very, very light which makes me wonder if my endometrial lining is not thick enough... Any advice on how to improve this? Can it be done?

Just to add to what others have said @NavigatingLife, I timed my first baby so carefully… then she came a month early 🫣 So I’ll just be happy if it happens this time!

Hey ladies think i may be having a chemical- lines a lot fainter on frer this morning and bfn on the one step 💔 tryung ti stay hopeful but i guess if the line cintinues to fade tomorrow il know!

@peanutForeverso sorry 😞 are you doing okay?

I’m 10dpo today and I was going to test but I had a drop in my temp this morning which will put me out.

I’m feeling quite gutted as we nailed timing and frequency of BD this month and I don’t know what more we can do! I know it’s a numbers game but it feels mad not trying something different. I also don’t ovulate till around day 23 so it feels so long away!

@am44a i'm in the same situation, mine were usually 25-29 days long and had a chemical in march since my cycles have been on the longer side 29-32 days long and longer and heavier periods 😫

thank you @Iwishyoutoknowspoke to DH who said to me i' being anxious due to our previous experiences

in my head i know tests vary depending on urine concentration, that is takes HCG 48hrs to double + im drinking lots due to the heat as well,

once the test dried it was the same colour as yesterday so actually i think i need to get a grip before i assume the worst

also im a bit worried i never had many symptoms with my son but im getting little waves of nausea already- does this mean its gna get worse or is my body just adjusting to having a new hormone in the mix?

@am44ai would stay away from thoss tests they are notorious for evaps- always recommend the pink dye FRER x

@peanutForever hopefully it's just cause you're so hydrated 🤞🏻 maybe try give it another couple of days to test. As hard as that is!

I was exactly the same! Took a test, saw a line, next morning, took another test and assumed it was a chemical as looked like the line was getting fainter. Gave it a few more days, and the line definitely started getting stronger. I found it really reassuring going from 1-2 weeks on an indicator to 2-3 weeks. That made me relax knowing hcg was going in the right direction.

I'm still holding off referring to midwifery until I get a 3+ weeks. I know it's not an exact science and heard that some women never even get that and have perfectly healthy pregnancies but just so cautious after loss.

I know it's hard... But wait and see. Sounds promising if it's dried the same as yesterday.

Morning ladies,
Temp has really dropped this morning so probably expecting AF soon, I certainly feel that way! I know im not out until AF arrives but feeling pretty down about it this morning, its the only month ive ever had symptoms so if im not pregnant the mid-cycle heavy spotting is now worrying me. At least I have blood tests booked I suppose!

Oh no, really hope for you that this isn’t the case and you’re just really well hydrated! Agree with the others to maybe test again in a day or two 🤞🏻❤️ sending you love and all the sticky baby dust ✨✨
