@ForGiddyDreamerhonestly feel for you, I can't imagine the nerves. You just want to be able to enjoy your pregnancy. I hope these early weeks go fast for you! Will you be able to get an early scan? Surely? Sorry to hear about your father in law. Such a sad time for you all x
Yes I had a full period in the end! Just finished yesterday. Hoping it was a one off. Just busy looking at holidays for next month- we need something to look forward to!

@YKM2829wishing you all the luck for this cycle! How may dpo are you?
Definitely push for progesterone. You could take the baby asprin yourself? That's my plan if I'm blessed to get a bfp again ! Xx

Sorry only just got round to seeing this, how would I get baby aspirin can I just buy it? Without a prescription I mean? Xx

SureLook · 15/08/2025 11:40

@TwinkleStarLight typically it doesn't. It's meant to be usually a day or two. What dpo are you now and when is AF due?

CD1 of our first proper month trying for no.3. We had decided last month that we were ready, but missed ovulation by about 2 days 😅 so this will be our first proper month trying. Starting off with an earlier than expected CD1. Usually very regular, but period arrived 3 days early!! So strange. But happy to be getting the show on the road now 😂

excited to start following this thread more closely now 😁❤️ best of luck to everyone !!

SureLook · 15/08/2025 13:41

@Ella31 praying for a sticky bean 🤞🏻

@underthethree hello and welcome! Why is it that when you decide to start TTC your cycle goes haywire? Best of luck!

I’m CD6 today, potential ovulation day feels ages away but then from what I remember it always creeps up quickly doesn’t it?

in my head I want an August baby which would mean not wanting to be pregnant until November or probably December since both my first 2 came early ! But I’m also know not to be that picky!!

@Ella31 congrats ! hoping it’s a sticky one🤞

@underthethree good luck!

ChaE05 · 15/08/2025 15:16

Thanks so much. Im 10dpo. I got squinters yesterday afternoon. How are you getting on?

SureLook · 15/08/2025 16:37

@givingitanothergo yeah, a lot of people get a really quick peak out of nowhere. I had notions of timing it all and picking my month but that went out of the window. I'll be grateful for anything at this stage 😂

@LaurLou22 of course she did 🙄

Ahhhh!! I knew it meant that but I wanted to know exactly what it stood for, haha. Thanks!

What are we thinking ladies - I’m leaning towards Evap line? Showed within 5 mins on the clear blue early test but it’s got darker as time went on. 10DPO and 5 days until AF due. Did a second test (clear and simple early detection) and was negative

@TwinkleStarLight hmmm. It was colour but it's too thin. I'd be leaning towards evap too. Sorry x

@Ella31 congrats! Wonderful news!!

@TwinkleStarLight I am the worst person for lines but really hope it is!

@SureLookhave you been able to resist testing? Still on for tomorrow?

Ive been googling away about baby aspirin because I had miscarriages before my first but was never told about it. Will speak to my doctor next time so thanks for the info!

That was me yesterday and it progressed. Have you another test for comparison

TwinkleStarLight · 16/08/2025 10:38

@Ella31 just waiting on my Amazon delivery for the First Response Early detection tests. Did a normal test this morning and negative but I’m not due AF yet. Not getting hopes up as the clear blue line test yesterday just seems so thin, doesn’t look right at all! Will keep you all updated

Notsure31 · 16/08/2025 10:45

@Ella31 congrats 🥰

@SureLook yeah if I PM you my number to be added to the ttc after loss group if you don’t mind?

We dtd again yesterday and evening which was ovulation day according to my app and LH surge/ewcm, which means we have done it 3 times over the fertile window. I have only had a very slight rise in my bbt today and normally get a bigger one, I’m wondering if we should dtd today as well or if we have still covered ourselves? I’m pretty sure I’m going to ovulate/have ovulated this cycle as my scan on Sunday showed a dominant follicle arising.

TwinkleStarLight · 16/08/2025 11:53

Just taken a first response 6 days early test and it’s negative so think clear blue must have been an evap line and this isn’t our month. A bit concerned as I’ve had 5 days of spotting on and off a full week before my period is due
