June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

[FarAwayBird]

Starting a new thread because we got to 999 replies!

i find my symptoms are more prominent between 10am and 7pm so we usually just avoid during those times x

@FarAwayBird I did the same last cycle when AF arrived but got the apple watch instead 😂

@FarAwayBird i have the Oura ring too and really recommend it! I have used it alongside an oral thermometer one month just to see the difference and oral thermometer gives higher readings overall but generally trend is the same.
Girls I’m driving myself a bit mad with line progression, I think it’s just because it’s darker now that the differences are less obvious, but feel like there is not much change from yday to today. This is my first time pregnant so I just feel so clueless that I don’t even get to speak to a doctor for another 4 weeks!

10dpo and some nice lone progression. There was a little bit of worry that the line would disappear today so it was a relief to see that it is still there and stronger

That’s great news @Mummysparrow and @peanutForever such a relief! I’ve attached the wrong pic, this one is the last 4 days and I just don’t see any difference between yday and today. @Mushroo how are your lines?

@Papill19 sorry to jump on but to see the difference, you need to rest every second day, not every day ☺️

@Everythingisokay please don’t apologise - I am so happy for any kind of advice. Thank you, I was literally just reading that as well. I think because each day so far I have seen a difference I was just disheartened this morning but I will put it to the back of my mind (she says!) and see what tomorrows test brings x

I know it's hard!
I had three chemicals so I'm being overly cautious now and re-testing every two days.

12 DPO, zero symptoms and just generally not feeling hopeful. Did an Amazon one step cheapy this morning and defo BFN because didn’t want to waste my FRER.

Had a sharp stabbing sensation wake me as I was falling asleep at 9DPO, but if that was implantation surely it would show on sticks by now?

What do we think? Is there any hope this cycle? Do I bother using an FRER tomorrow morning? (We have a family gathering and would quite like a 🍻 out in the sunshine!)

Hi guys! Looking for a bit of advice from anyone who experienced something similar... I had a chemical a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't sure when next day of new cycle was, as I had implantation spotting that became bleeding and I didn't start new cycle until the day it was red, not just brown spotting. I'm now having my LH rise on cycle day 11 according to the day I put down, but that's too early for me normally, so I'm guessing my first cycle day was the first day I had a negative test after two vvfls? That would put me on cycle day 13, expecting a peak tomorrow at CD14 and ovulate CD15? I'm not sure if I should now rearrange my 21 day progesterone blood test my Dr has ordered for CD21 to 2 days earlier? Does it have to be 21 days into cycle or 7 days past ovulation? 🤔 Sorry, I'm new to all this and it's got me a bit confused so any personal experience would be appreciated!

Morning everyone,

Tested early today 12DPO and got some faint lines - based on earlier messages I'll hold off testing again until Sunday.

Trying not to get ahead of myself as who knows what could happen.

Fingers crossed for everyone else this month!

Hey @DorsetGirl89not sure why they say day 21 as everyone's cycles are so different! The important thing is it's done 7dpo! Xx

@sarahspeakingreally clear lines there! Congratulations. How long have you been trying? X

@ChaE05 thank you! this was our first month trying - I came off the pill last early last year and it's taken about 12 months for my cycles to get somewhat regular. Didn't try before as we were getting married so started DTD on the honeymoon - feel very lucky!

Hoping it sticks, trying not to be too anxious and just see what happens

Nothing faint about those @sarahspeaking! Hope it’s a sticky one for you!

congrats @sarahspeaking !

AF arrived for me this morning. The one positive I am taking out of it is that I don't have much pain at all this month. I am hoping this means my body has now settled down since the losses. Last month was okish but nothing like May when I was in bed crying with the pain it was so bad. So taking the absence of pain as a good sign.

My period just started so I’m definitely not having a March baby! Slightly shorter cycle than my average at 23 days. I’m not testing for ovulation so only go by averages and EWCM but that would still mean we were in the right kind of ballpark with the timings for sex. Really hope it’s cooled down in about 10 days time or we certainly won’t be having an April baby either

Ok thank you! Will book that in 👌🏻

Woohoo! Those are great lines! Why don't you keep testing to see if the lines get stronger? As you've already got a faint positive I don't see any harm in continuing testing? 🤔 I hope it all goes well for you!

HCG can take 3-5 days to rise enough to be detected in urine after implantation, even on a FRER so if you implanted late at 9dpo it doesn't rule out you not having enough detectable HCG yet at all, especially on the less sensitive tests (also, you said it woke you up as you were going to bed, so I'm guessing that was evening, and you tested this morning, so not even 3 full days since suspected implantation) I don't know if you've had a pregnancy before to compare symptoms? Some people don't have any symptoms yet, some are super sensitive, so I can't answer to that. Don't want to give you false hope, also don't necessarily think hope is lost, a late implantation usually means a late positive, the women who get their faint lines at 9dpo probably implanted at 6dpo, so a negative on a cheapie at 12dpo isn't in itself the indicator I'd say. If you really want peace of mind to have a drink, probably do a frer in the morning, but again, still won't necessarily be accurate yet! So frustrating just wanting answers isn't it! ❤️

Sorry to hear that lovely, and yes this heat is bonkers, my other half and I are going camping tonight to DTD so we're not inside! 😆😆😆

@amey44 ah, sometimes life gets in the way doesn't it? It can be hard to get the timing right!

@EmPeEf just lie there and let him do all the work 😂

@Papill19 try not to worry. HCG only doubles roughly every 48 hours. If you're going to continue to test I would test every second day. But remember that line progression doesn't mean anything in terms of the viability of the pregnancy unfortunately.

@Mummysparrow looking good!

@DoubleDandelion when is AF due? Generally at 12dpo I would take the result as the definite answer but there are some people who've gotten their BFP later!

@DorsetGirl89 I haven't had a chemical myself but from reading other girls experience on here it seems their cycles were a bit unsettled post chemical. Ovulating earlier or later than usual. I think it can take time for things to settle. Maybe contact your GP for advice on when to do the bloods.

@sarahspeaking amazing, congratulations ❤️

@ForGiddyDreamer @overwork sorry to hear AF has arrived ❤️

Hoping I peak tonight🤞🏻I’m honestly really enjoying tracking so far it’s actually nice to see my body actually doing something for once instead of seeing stark white negative hcg tests lol

i think i’ll be peaking tomorrow❤️

@DorsetGirl89 thank you so much that is great info, AND has given me renewed hope! I have been pregnant before but with ID twins so all the symptoms were to an extreme as the egg split somewhere between days 4-8 (we know this due to their shared placenta), it feels like I’m doing this all again for the first time as I know the experience will be very different with a singleton. But the comparison is not making me feel very hopeful!

@SureLook AF due Mon/Tues (I ov-ed CD 14 and tend to have a 29-30 day cycle), I felt the same as you really, will FRER tomorrow and go from there I suppose but @DorsetGirl89 has given me some hope between now and Mon!

@overwork i think you were a DPO day ahead of me, it was bloody hot for our last fertile window too wasn’t it?! I’m never one to wish away nice weather buttttt…. 😂
