TTC’ers #2

[Smallpotato]

I’ve just taken an ovulation test and it’s read high. I just finished my period yesterday?

 

[Mathilderose99]

on the clear blue ovulation what is the difference between flashing smiley & static smiley? I only get static smiley for one day & never see flashing?

 

[grumpycat]

is it supposed to go down gradually?

I think it depends on your luteal phase - mine was quite rapid but I thought I’d still have a visible line there?!

Which strips are you using? I have a very feint line when I'm outside of peak but mine tends to go from feint to really dark - no in between!

These are the cheap one step ones. I had a fairly faint but visible like before peak, then a rapid onset of about 2 days then a steep drop off. But they seem to have not even a visible line anymore, the one I did last night premom marked as a 0

Hi everyone, AF is late and still not arrived- I have worked it out properly and apparently according to a app I have downloaded I am now only 2 days late. Still no AF so I have just taken this cheapie test. There’s a faint line not even a squinter in real life! Surely it should be darker than this?? Unless I have ovulated later than I thought or implanted late?

I will test again tomorrow morning with FMU... can you see a line? Xxx

You can add it back on! There's a bit under settings about TTC

Just screen recorded my clue app to show you how to do it. It's under the settings (couldn't show the first screen as it has all my personal details) xx

I don't think there's any harm in taking it now, especially if there's a chance you could have a surprise pregnancy. I always take it even when not TTC as I have folate deficiency.

Yes start now.
I take Folic acid, DHA, Food grown fertility by Wild Nutriton and Vitamin D. I was taking a multi vitamin but swapped last month to the fertility vitamins for women.
Doctors & Nutritionists advise you should be taking folic acid tablets 3 months before you TTC.

Thanks both! I’ve ordered some from Amazon so will just try and make it my daily routine I’m terrible for remembering to take tablets.

Still no period, so I’m going to buy a test. I’m on Day 31 on my cycle.

Let us know how you get on! Fingers crossed for you xx 🤍

Anyone had implantation bleeding before? How long did it last? I’m convinced now I’m just having a super light AF..unusual for me but our bodies like to play tricks hey xx

Hello everyone, I was reading through this forum at 3am last night and was blown away by all your stories!
I wondered if I could get your opinion on my situation and just be honest I can take it.
So I am 6 days late on my period and I would say I’m pretty regular I have been tracking them for months now and all arrive within 28-32 days. On average my cycle is 30 days.
I have been a bit tired and just feel “funny”
I took a test last night albeit very diluted urine as I drink tonnes of water( don’t know if this makes a different probs clutching at straws) and test came back BFN
Any tips? Wait a few days and retest? Or just leave it.
Thank you! Have a good day

I would test with first morning though if you’re late you can test anytime. The problem is sometimes if your cycle can change a little implantation could hypothetically be later, and you need to wait for the hormone to build up (typically every few days) or you could wait an additional week to be sure your period is Late if testing frequently isn’t something you want to do

I can see something in the second photo It’s always hard to capture on phone photo!
Have everything crossed for you xx

Thanks so much! I will keep everyone updated!
Baby dust to all

Do you guys have higher LH/ darker tests at certain times of day? Mine seems to be darker in the morningmidday then every day by evening it’s gone very light again. Happened for the last few days. The first day it happened and was my darkest yet (CD22) I got excited because I thought that was my surge starting but nope, by the next pee it had gone down loads and was super light once again. seems to go up and down throughout the day - put the last few days of tests below so you can see what I mean.

Now CD 24 and 6th day of CB flashing smiley so hoping to see a peak soon.

Hi all. I have a few symptoms of pregnancy but trying to hold off testing for a few more days. My period is 3 days late (usually on time but was late last month too), one sore boob (yep, one!), very nauseous and tired! I keep getting shooting pains around my ovaries too but different to usual cramps. We dtd a few times around peak fertility. Has anyone had any similar early symptoms?

I had shooting pains around my ovaries as well this month. I’ve never had this before and wondered if I was ovulating late? Very strange.

can anyone help, if I did ovulate late am I likely to start my period later? Flo says I am due today. To be honest I can feel it coming on, I keep dashing back and for to the toilet to check x

 

[Mathilderose99]

Really is dependent on how much hormone your body produces after fertilisation / when your egg is fertilised and implants (which can take up to a week I think ?). I got a strong positive about 10 DPO with my last pregnancy but know some people who get a faint one on the day of their missed period or a faint one 7DPO (the earliest I think) so it really just depends on the person xx

thanks so much!!

 

[calmyourritas]

Yes mine was! It freaked me out until I googled it apparently it’s normal ..

Phew! Thought there was something wrong with me

 

[calmyourritas]

Random but has anyone been taking those pregnacare pre conception tablets and got really bright yellow wee?

Hi everyone

I’m not all that sure if this falls into this category or not but anyadvice would be really appreciated.
We’ve been ttc for 6 months. I stopped the pill but hadn’t tracked anything. Periods have been every 4/5 weeks.
I’ve felt quite unwell for a few weeks but had tested positive for Covid. So put it down to that.
I had a routine blood test on Monday which included HCG which has come back as positive. Obviously very shocked but happy.
Went for a scan today as my partner and I were just too excited. I expected to be around 5-6 weeks as my last period was lighter. I’m actually 26 weeks .
I’m a bit traumatised. Can’t really talk to the doctor as it’s bank holiday and I’m so worried that we’ve missed bloods/screening and we have not got much time to get used to it!
Has anyone else had anything like this????

Congratulations Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

I’ve taken 2 tests and I know I shouldn’t have but AF is apparently due in 4 days with no symptoms. The bottom one is yesterday and the top is this morning, they’re just Tesco cheapies. My other half is adamant there is a faint line on both and I can’t see anything. He’s frustrating me getting so excited when to me these are both negative. Any opinions please? X

 

[grumpycat]

Just read the box. It says that a faint line means negative it must be very dark to be pos? Is this right? Bloody home bargains cheap shit

I would def get down tonight if you can, the test line has to be as dark or darker than the control I believe, but one in the bag won’t hurt! Who knows what tomorrow’s might be

 

[MrsWolf]

These are from this morning - I’m not imaginging right ?!

Congratulations Wishing you all the best

 

[Mel17]

Fingers crossed for you!

Thank you
