11dpo and BFN so almost certain I’m out now! It’s my last cycle with progesterone in luteal phase too, so i always get the dilemma of when to stop. Dr said until 15dpo but my luteal phase is only 13 usually, and a Bfp behind 12dpo is highly unlikely (and less likely to be viable if it is), and progesterone delays period by a couple of days and if it’s not this cycle I want to move onto the next! So have to test tomorrow morning for the last time I think before stopping.

Ahh I’m exhausted today (but likely cause our 7month old has had me up since 6am 😂) and also noticing that I’m peeing a ton more than usual again. At most I’d probably only be 7 or 8dpo so doubtful it means anything!! I probably wouldn’t even notice if I wasn’t hoping to get pregnant!

I never had any symptoms with my first, I tested 5 days after realising my period never showed up. After that I did realise I had heartburn a lot actually.
with my second I had symptoms and a faint line from 9-10dpo as he was originally a twin before we lost the second. Felt extremely sick and had the worst headaches.

I’ll try not to but of course my mind is going to keep trying to pick out any symptoms 😂
I also usually suffer with pmdd but I’m past mid cycle now and not noticing my usual symptoms 👀

part of me feels like it could’ve worked but realistically being only 7 or 8dpo there is no way anyone should think that yet !! 😂

@EmPeEf I am so sorry darling. I know how hard it is. Hang in there. Lots of hugs. ❤️
@Iris2024 you are not crazy. Sending prayers for a sticky bun. ❤️

@Muddysocks1 how's today's test?

@givingitanothergo ah, its so hard isn't it? If you weren't TTC you probably wouldn't even notice any of these things. We're hyper aware during the TWW. I'm so sorry to hear you lost a twin, how sad.

@EmPeEf @Iris2024 how are you both?

Unfortunately my tests are not progressing. I’m at a point now where I’m just waiting to bleed as I’ve lost hope and tests are definitely lighter. It’s really hard to accept as we have a daughter already and we tried so hard for this one but looks like not meant to be. I’m 42 on Tuesday when it’s my birthday. How cruel if I miscarry now.
Don’t know what to do with myself now and hopefully bleeding starts soon so I can try and move on as this doesn’t look like a viable pregnancy now 😢 ** thanks for checking in and asking about me. The thought of trying again after this

@Iris2024 I know you've moved over to the September thread so I've replied there x

BFN today - so over for this cycle and onto the next. Had 3 glasses of wine last night which was the most ages! Back to “healthy” again today for the next cycle though

Thinking of you @Iris2024, horrible to be in limbo xx

@Iris2024 I'm so sorry to read your update 🫂

SureLook · 31/08/2025 08:35

@Muddysocks1 I'll follow your next cycle on the September thread x

Hey ladies! Joining over from the August thread. Currently 5dpo on cycle 10.

@Iris2024I'm so so sorry 💔 feels so cruel. You count the first day of your bleed as CD1. For me personally it didn't affect my ovulation too much. I think I ovulated a couple of days earlier following my first loss. So just keep that in mind. Sending you a great big hug xx

SureLook · 31/08/2025 17:03

@ChaE05 I think you meant to post that in the September thread lovely x

So sorry to read this Iris. Loss at any time is rough but when it's on a significant date it just feels so cruel. I had a private scan to confirm the miscarriage I had in March - the first date we could get was Mother's day, that was rough. We are in such a similar boat - I'm.41 on Tuesday and it feels like it's never going to happen. I hope you're ok, sending ❤️💐
