New Thread❤️

@ForGiddyDreamer i totally agree with you, if I hadn’t already had faint lines on first response and cheapy tests I wouldn’t have believed it. Was reluctant to buy CB but went with the only ones tescos had. They’re notorious. Xx

Congratulations on the BFP 😀😀 I’ve just got the static smiley for the first time in 3 cycles since having my copper IUD removed I am over the moon went into meltdown around potentially not ovulating haha DTD last night, 2 days before that and today so 🤞🤞🤞

@MyPeppyLimeBear Congratulations! can definitely see that line there :)
Anything you did differently you want to share?

Tested today and it’s a bfn so feel like i’m out for this cycle as af is due in a few days;/ I feel like i’ll never get a bfp

@BloomingOrchidea this is the one and only month I used Conceive Plus tablets and gel. I have my faint line before even finishing the months’ worth of tablets so I’d really recommend anyone giving them a try :)

CD1 for me after a 49 CD

Cd5 today Af is finishing up apple watch arriving tomorrow can’t wait to try it 🤞🏻🥰

Hi all. I've not posted for quite a long time (think I just needed some time away after MC end of March and was trying not to put too much pressure on things).

In some ways, it's lovely to recognise some usernames here posting but also, sorry to see you're still here (if that makes sense).

For those who haven't e-met me before: TTC my second, partner's first. I have a DS who just turned 9 yo. Conceived first time with him. But didnt have any success TTC with my ex H despite trying for around three years.

Been TTC with new partner since January. Did conceive in March but sadly ended in MC.

Now to today's head....

Didn't really use OPKs this cycle just gone. Did test, looked like I was gearing up for a peak, but then LH dived off a cliff and I just stopped testing. Figured may e it was a very short lived peak and I'd missed it. Wasn't putting too much emphasis on it.

Came on my period a week ago last Monday.

Came to start OPKing today on CD8 and the LH strip lit up super strong. Thought that was a bit odd as wasn't expecting to be near peak yet so... You guessed it... Took a pregnancy test. There's a Line.

Had a digital weeks test knocking around. So had a cup of tea, waited an hour and tested on the digital: 1-2 weeks pregnant.

Seeing as I've just had what I considered a period (which is exactly what happened when I found out I was pregnant before the MC), I'm understandably hesitant and nervous and not really believing it or trusting that the same thing isn't happening again...

I don't want to get obsessive about it now, and trying to park this knowledge somewhere... And maybe do another digital test on Saturday morning (as I'm going to a hen do), to see if it's progressed or not?

For where I would be date wise going on my last 'proper' period, I think the test line is weak. And if weeks indicator wise, I'd have expected to be further along if this was a sticky bean... So preparing myself for the worst. But... Also wondering if maybe I just ovulated later than I thought? I don't know.

Torn between getting my hopes up to figure out the rationale that makes this viable and preparing myself that this in all likelihood is a chemical.

Hi @Taysonic, this is hard!! Good idea about testing again at the weekend. Difficult with the digitals because you’re not seeing progression (think the weeks indicators can be quite unreliable in terms of accuracy) but at least they’d be showing still pregnant? Everything crossed for you 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Taysonicwelcome back! I also had a chemical in March and just finishing my period now cd5… did you have full flow or was it just light bleeding? Have everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻✨✨

@Ec2808 Same here on CD5! 😃
sorry to hear about your chemical in March.
baby dust for this cycle!!
Are you trying for your first?

@GreenApple121oh yay cycle buddy’s 😍 how long are your cycles?

@Ec2808 Cycles range between 28-31 days but last two were 28 days
I’m not not tracking but ovulation predicted around 3rd July. How about you?

@MyPeppyLimeBear congrats!! Remind me how many dpo you are? I'm so happy for you! Keeping everything crossed those lines darken soon and reassure you 🥰❤️

Hey all, joining on here after being on the previous June conversations but havent commented in over a week - its been a busy chat to catch up on! Congrats on all the BFP!! Fingers crossed for those waiting and sorry for those who are out.

I'm on cycle #2 ttc baby #2, have a DD who is 18 months. I typically have longer cycles (ovulate around CD21/22 and cycle length of 35+ days). Felt twinges last weekend at CD16 and took LH test - premom had it at 1.81 so luckily caught my peak!! DTD 1 and 2 days before O and the day after O as I was away with work over ovulation day so I'm now on 7DPO. Trying to decide if I take a cheapie test tomorrow at 8DPO or wait until Sat at 12DPO?! Promised DH I wouldn't test without him and he's working the rest of this week so Sat would be the next time. Its just the easy@home tests I have si not sure how early they can pick up from

These threads move so fast! Congrats to all on the BFP’s, really lovely to see 🥰

With prescribed progesterone, (in the UK) what tests did you need to have for the GP to prescribe it?
I’ve had the 21 day test but had it 6dpo (wasn’t day 21 as I ovulate late) and it was borderline. I did it again at 3dpo at the request of my GP and think it was ok but I don’t trust the timing 100%… I truly believe my progesterone is dropping too quickly as I have a 7/8 day luteal phase. I have tried b complex and b6 p5p etc but scared to use vitex or maca as read they can throw things off..

I got my peak today on the premom strips and we have been DTD at the right times previous cycles, but think this is the brick wall that’s stopping us getting further.. if we did conceive I’m worried about it not sticking 😥 who knew it would be so hard!

@GreenApple121about the same between 26-32 last cycle was a long one… apps also predict ovulation between july3-5 but i’m gonna track temperature and lh this month to be sure 🥰🤞🏻

Hi @Muddysocks1 Hope you're doing okay. I think I'm erring on the side of caution and presuming it's a chemical. I'm going to do a FMU strip test tomorrow just to see what it's like first thing, and then try and hold off on doing any more testing until Saturday. It should be very clear by then whether HCG levels are going up or have come down.

Hi @Ec2808 - I know you've had a very up and down time of it so hope you're doing okay and feeling positive about this new cycle.

Difficult to say with certainty on my flow... I'd say it wasn't as heavy as normal but definitely more than just spotting. And period lasted around 4 days I think.

@Taysonicreally hoping the best for you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️❤️
oh yes it has been torture since the chemical in March 😔 plus everyone around me is announcing their pregnancies…trying to be as positive as i can this cycle but starting to feel a bit defeated 5 months seems soo long..I know other women have probably been ttc for longer and soo sorry for this.. but this is normally not the case for me 😕😕
really praying for a bfp this cycle to complete our little family ❤️

@Taysonic Just caught up on your post - keeping everything crossed for you! Sounds really difficult and confusing. It must be so difficult to wait to test to know for sure.

I'm keeping all my fingers crossed for you! And it's okay to let yourself feel whatever you need to when others announce their pregnancies. You can feel both happy for them and sad for yourself at the same time.

@DorsetGirl89 thank you 😊I am either 9 or 10 DPO xx

@Taysonicthank you soo much for this ❤️❤️

Congratulations to everyone with BFPs! CD13 here but I normally PV around day 18.

Aiming to DTD every other day rather than track too much.

Congratulations on the BFPs!! Keeping fingers crossed for everyone ❤️

I had a super faint positive on a Boots early test this afternoon 🙈 AF due tomorrow but couldn’t help myself, can’t wait to test properly in the morning.
