I’ve never had any (yet anyway!) implantation bleeding but I would assume it would be positive as it’s old blood.

hahaha! I’m quite tiny in the boob department so I’ve never had that but I am deffo more aware of them as usually I don’t have much there. I’m due on Friday, so think I will test then or Saturday. My Ovia app says I can test Thursday but I’m not sure. In my first pregnancy I tested a week stew on was due on so never done any early testing

I’ve been quite crampy today too
Ah that is so exciting!!! Wishing you lots of luck. I’ve been crampy as well for the past few days but not like period cramps at all. Got a banging headache today and feeling really nauseas. Got my fingers crossed for both of us 😍🤞🏼

Hey Ladies,

Yesterday I used the clear blue ovulation sticks that detects 4 fertile days. Yesterday it showed a flashing smiley face high fertility. Today it’s shown a circle. I am on day 8. My period lasts for 5 days.
I will test again tomorrow but this has never happened before. Usually I would get a flashing smiley face for 1-3 days and then a static smiley face. I’m totally confused.

Morning everyone, I really need some advice now as I’m driving myself mad 😥 done my last first response test this morning and again a faint line, abit darker then it has been. HOWEVER if I was really pregnant this should now be a blazing positive?? Each time I have done a frer I’ve had a faint like and they have all come up in the 3 mins. I’m beginning to think if these are now just part of the tests? Im trying to think surely not as I’ve had these for the past few days... but I now it now should be getting darker!! I remember when I reheated FRER and a line was a line! 😓 arghhhh I really want AF now I’ve had enough xx

Just wondering if anyone has done fertility acupuncture? How did you find it? What to expect?

Like others have said, depends how hard you want to go. Definitely recommend starting some vitamins.
OPKs may seem overwhelming at first but once you get used to them. Premom is probably the best app in my opinion. The longer you use the app for the more it gets to know you, so don’t necessarily trust it at first when it gives you an ovulation date. CM is a really good indicator, you’re looking for egg white looking mucous once you see that, start having sex
Thank you! I think this seems like a good starting point for a few months especially while I sync up to the app. I can get quite anxious so definitely trying to get the most relaxed but effective plan in place for the next step.

My hubby and I started taking these this cycle. Not sure if it contributed but it was the only thing we did differently this month. Got them on Amazon. I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone who doesn’t like swallowing pills as they are quite large 😅 hubby called them horse pills 😂
Can I ask how long you'd been TTC for? 💕

Sending you so much love ❤❤❤

Hey, had my IUD removed last week, just finished AF withdrawal bleed today. Been using the easy at home OPK's and all been low before AF arrived. Bit of a gross question, but after DTD do any of you keep your legs up to help gravity to do its thing? If you do, how long do you do it for? 😳😩

So glad I discovered this thread, been feeling really lonely in this and only have a small window I can get pregnant in due to health and financial issues, but got the OK from my consultant so really hoping ❤
we are in a similar situation. I had my IUD removed in March and I’ve only just started getting Highs.

Thank you all for your advice.
How often do you test?
I’ll try wait as long as possible
I only tested twice - I was quite past when I expected to be due so assumed it would have picked up by then. It’s a tricky one as some cycles you may ovulate late, not at all, or some people’s pregnancy hormone levels are so low it takes ages for a test to show anything.

I'm only cycle day 3. Feeling rubbish with a heavy period (sorry if that's TMI). Trying to decide whether to track ovulation this month or not. I did the first 3 months then tried without last time.
Hey Samr, hope you feel a bit better soon. I'm on CD7 but my period was awful this month, felt like I was being sawn in half! I'm also trying to decide whether to track, should probably make my mind Jo really. Think I'm leaning towards not this month... What do you think you'll do?

just wanted to recommend the Easy@home ovulation sticks from Amazon, they’re not expensive and it’s a box of about 25, you can download the Premom app and photograph your opk everyday (or twice a day in your fertile week) and it works out how fertile you are and plots them on a graph for you to see how your LH ramps up, then you get a peak (where the test line is darker than the control) It’s so easy to track with these tests. That’s what I’ve done this month 🤞🏼
These are the same ones I'm using and I'm finding them really helpful to know where I'm at. Are you BBT testing too?

Out of interest, how quickly does your LH levels go up each day, if any? I'm CD7 and had a jump from 0.13 to 0.27 within a day. I've never had regular periods so have no clue where I'll be at 😩
I don’t think there is a set amount- some people have rapid onset and some people have gradual rise!

So yesterday I wasn’t saying I hadn’t got a flashing smiley face yet this cycle on my ovulation tests - well today I got the non flashing peak fertility face?? Is it normal to not have any high fertility days and go straight to peak?
on the leaflet (I was reading mine last night as it arrived!) I think it said something like it’s down to the hormones being too close together perhaps?

I get cramps for days and days after, I'm still getting them now (5 DPO) and I am almost certain I don't get then any other time in my cycle. It's so bizarre!
Ah really!
I find it so strange as I've never noticed them before last cycle. It can't mean anything really as ovulation is done but it's way to early to be anything yet. Bodies are weird!
