TTC #3

[grumpycat]

I've just seen a lot of women on the same cycle as me getting positives at 8/9/10dpo and I'm here just heart broken
I'm on Cycle Day 24, usually of a 34/35 day cycle. I'm keeping everything crossed 🥲

It can be so hard to see. But sometimes implantation can take longer and there’s no way to find that out. Hang in there, you aren’t out until you get your period

Hey,

I was just looking for some advice.

We are on month 10 of TTC. We had a chemical pregnancy 2 months ago.

Normally my cycle can run between 32-38 days.

All my apps say I should ovulate this weekend, however doing the easy@home ovulation sticks it looks like I may have ovulated yesterday.
Usually I ovulate on time, then it’s waiting for my period that lengthens my cycle. My period isn’t always guaranteed 14 days after I ovulate.

My question is, is ovulating 4/5 days early a thing? Or could the tests be wrong?

Thank you! X

And then stuff in a period cup

Thank you all for your replies!

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if you guys can help me?! I took a pregnancy test last night and got what I thought was a very faint line (blue one) so I thought I would do another using a pink dye test today after reading on here. Can you let me know if these are faint lines or not?! I’m new to all of this so not been in this situation before!

Mine looked like this and next day got a strong positive I would say hold out and take another tomorrow morning with first urine

 

[fishsticks]

Argh me too. My Melons are ginormous and my nips need to be free bcus I can't stand them being in a bra or against any material. I've had back ache, cramping, my sinuses are all funky. I think I'm around 8dpo but didn't test. Not sure I can hold off peeing on a stick for much longer.

Also adding nausea to this now too...

I’m booked in for blood tests on Monday to check if I need to be referred to a fertility clinic.
Yeah! It works once and then never worked again so I’m unsure what to try now.
Awh, good luck 🤍
I checked an ovulation calculator and it said I’d ovulate 8 days from when my period started, I don’t understand

I went looking at information on the luteal phase. Ovulating on day 8 would give a long luteal phase and be a symptom of PCOS??? Hopefully you will get some proper answers, I have no idea why my body has suddenly decided to spit out an egg on day 7/8?? My ovaries were scanned a few months back and looked good. Then I always tell myself that I'll book my appointment next month because I might be pregnant already then I never am!!!

Hi everyone. So I’ve been using clearblue ovulation tests now & ive had flashing smileys for 6 days now. Had to start a new pack this morning & it came up as low fertility the blank circle. Can it go from flashing to blank? Or is it a fault?
I tried another test with the old holder but it came up an error message.

When was/is your period due lovely?

I don’t know for sure but probably about two weeks ago

Spoiler: Positive pregnancy test

Aww thanks Louk. I’m delighted to say (after taking a couple more tests) it was a positive! However with my first test, I was genuinely unsure if it was an indent (which I’d never heard of before until I googled faint line) I will post my first test so you ladies have an idea of how it looked. This was at 12dpo. It’s very early days and I hope it sticks. I used Femometer to track my periods/bd days/cm etc and used CB OPKs (purple ones) to track ovulation. My early symptom (10dpo) was quite a heavy cm which kind of gushed out (sorry TMI I know) but this is what led me to test early as it was so different. My test at 10dpo was negative but started showing positive at 12dpo and was undeniably dark at 14dpo. And another symptom was very slight twinges in my lower abdomen (but they were very slight, only in hindsight I’m thinking of them).

I see it too!! It's very faint though, so

Hi ladies, I haven’t posted in a while but need some advice.

my period is a couple of days late, and I’m trying to figure out why.

I had my first (Pfizer) COVID vaccine on 19th June, and my next period was roughly on time (I’m usually around 28 days, but is typically 27-29 days), but I had some light spotting for 4 or 5 days before it started. My period does usually start with spotting, but normally either just the day before, or on the day if my period starts in the evening.

This cycle I was due on Wednesday (day 28) and I still haven’t started yet. I’ve had some light spotting for the last 3 days, but none of the real symptoms I’d usually get - not super headachy/crampy/emotional.

In my May/June cycle, I had a very early chemical pregnancy - my period arrived less than 48 hours after getting a faint positive.

I’ve also started exercising a bit more, nothing extreme, but I do a body pump class about 4/5 times a week.

I’m a bit anxious to get my next vaccine in case that’s what’s causing it. Has anyone else noticed disturbances to their period after the vaccine? How long did it take to right itself?

Have you tried a pregnancy test?? I had the Janssen vaccine last week but I think AF is coming I chose it because it's 1 shot and I didn't want my periods messed up, having read about that on here

Had a BFP on a digital last Monday, but have had a negative on a digital today, I’m 5 +3 by my dates. Got an appointment in the EPU tomorrow but I’m very anxious! I’ve still got all the symptoms

Thinking of you! If you don’t mind me asking, have you had any bleeding?
Xx

Hi ladies,

I have a question.
Since I got my static smiley peak face yesterday which was CD12, when would you test? As for the past 4 cycles I have had 32-39 days worth of cycles so never in a million years thought I’d get a peak this early; according to my app AF isn’t due till 10th July due to the length my cycles have been…

When would you test? 2 weeks after expected ovulation?
Thanks xxx

I see lines!!!! A bit stronger than mine were

Hi guys.

My HSG confirmed my left tube is completely blocked. Assuming it’s from my surgery I had to remove a cyst last year. So I’m now starting Letrozole for 3 cycles, if no luck then on to ICSI or IVF. Burst into tears in the room, even though I expected this news it was still a shock to hear it. I feel like such a failure! Feel like I’m letting my husband down a lot.

hope everyone is ok x

You are not a failure and you are not letting anyone down! Please do not think like this about yourself.
This is not great news but the important part is that you now know and the appropriate measures are being taken. Sending you lots of baby dust

So this is my first time posting and just looking for some advice or if anyone has had the same thing. I’ve just had a period that was really strange. It only lasted for around 4 days and the first 3 days was brown gloopy discharge stuff when I wiped (sorry) then for the last day and a half it was red/brown slightly heavier but still only there when I wiped then disappeared altogether. It was a 45 day cycle which isn’t abnormal for me as I have PCOS and recently have had cycles anything from 33 days to 90. Which is better than it was before when I went a whole year without a period.
Anyway apart from the period I also have really sore/sensitive nipples which is totally abnormal for me. I usually only get this a week leading up to af but this started on day 2 of my period and is still really sore now, worse now than it was when I was on. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

[JLXRD]

This is completely OT, but how can I message you? Is it possible?

On another note, I used the clear blue connect opks alongside the cheap internet ones and founf

Oooh I’m not sure flogoff, I’ve never messaged anyone on here

I am using the cheapy internet ones too, but don’t trust my own eyes haha so the cb is a good confirmation I feel as you can’t fluke a solid smiley

Having so many bizarre symptoms that could be early pregnancy but I'm only on day 40 of my cycle and they range anywhere from 35-68 days so I figure I've realistically still got a month before I could even test (that's presuming AF doesn't arrive first of course). It's so frustrating having such erratic cycles, in theory I could literally be over 2 months pregnant before I even knew because of it lol.

I think you're the first person I've seen on here with similar cycles to me. It's really difficult isn't it, you never quite know where you're at with it. Do you use OPKs? I'm on CD30 with no noticeable peak yet, it's my first cycle tracking though so I'm intrigued to see if/when I ovulate. There could be another 30 days left in the cycle (!)

 

[cecedoon]

Hi ladies. I decided to keep tracking this month anyhow even tho husband is sick to figure out my cycle. I got a static yday on clearblue but my Premom sticks aren’t indicating anything. Now I’m on a a health kick and I’ve been drinking more water , I thought I read somewhere this can affect it? Or are they totally out of whack.

 

[cecedoon]

Hi everyone, sadly already back on the TTC thread here as we had a miscarriage at 5-6 weeks pregnant on Friday

I don't have regular periods, so the doctors said I could start trying when I'm not bleeding and feel ok. Has anyone else had a MC and TTC soon after?

So sorry for your loss. A friend of mine miscarried in October and was pregnant again after one period.
Mind yourself

 

[begaphobia]

What times were the tests taken at? All taken from the same urine, or different? It’s difficult to say about indents/evaps without seeing the tests, to see the colouring etc.

When you make a post there’s 3 dots with a little half an arrow, click down on that and select spoiler x

Thank you, all taken with different urine. One yesterday morning, one this morning and the CB mid-morning today.

Tried the spoiler there but the images still show regardless.

 

[fishsticks]

Hey, hope everyone's okay!

Has anyone had their first bfp after 12dpo? I'm assuming it's a. no for me this month. All my weird symptoms have gone, but trying to remain hopeful!
