Magical Maypoles ~*May testing thread*~

Been a while since I’ve knocked around the forums. AF is due 21st May but turns out I have a rather early ovulation so I’ll start testing from the end of this week. Cramping a bit atm so praying it is implantation. While I normally have a long pms stage it is never this early.

im trying not to get my hopes up as GP surgery have refused all support to conceive due to my age and because my partner already has kids. Paying out for a private consultant this week for at least some guidance as I’ve had such poor gynae related healthcare over the last few years

well hello me darling!! how are you! its been a minute. excited to see you in the 2ww
 
Nothing new to report today for me. Gosh I hate the 2 week wait :sad2: had another temp rise today, but if the chart is to be believed I'm only 4dpo so I doubt it means anything.
 
Great visit at the fertility specialist! I already have one follicle on the right and I'm only cd4! Started Letrozole and will be on it for 9 days so hopefully that will make several more follicles. Doc is also sending DH to have his hormones checked and have a scrotal u/s. Next u/s for me is next Monday!! I'm starting to feel really good about this cycle. Third time is the charm.

Welcome back and good luck! :)
 
@littlewitch and @NightFlower fab progression. All your tests are looking great

@ehjmorris i hope you ovulate soon hun, I’m usually around cd22 and it is such a long wait

@RedRose19 i can see something faint on both your tests. Hope they darken up

@Ellybean your symptoms sound very promising. Hopefully you’ll be seeing a bfp in the next couple of days

@needausername welcome back and best of luck to you

@thencomesbebe wishing you so much luck. Really hope this will be 3rd time lucky. Every crossed for you
 
Sorry I’ve not been on as much since my bfp. I’m not abandoning you you all I swear I’m just stressing out. 25dpo and 5+4 weeks and I’m still cramping quite strong and it’s all going into the bottom of my back and I noticed a small amount of spotting again last night. Quite uncomfortable this morning and just feel like I’m gonna start a heavy af any second. No morning sickness still and it was late starting with my missed miscarriage and with my son I noted by this day that it had really kicked in by now. I’m so scared this is going to end in another loss. I really couldn’t bare it. I’m tempted to try taking a test but I’m scared they’ll be fainter. Being so early I know there’s nothing I can do but wait it out because nothing can be done if I am going to miscarry. I’m just so scared right now :cry:
 
Hi ladies
I need advice. Im so worried right now.
So af started at 18dpo so was late this cycle.
Cd1 it picked up quickly and was medium flow.
Cd2 woke up with the usual heavy bleeding but then it went to a medium flow.
Yesterday cd3 was medium when i woke up but then went really light then stopped.
This does usually happen but usually around cd4 or 5 then will pick up again until it stops completely on cd 6 or 7.
Well im now cd4 and still no more bleeding and cervix feels closed. If it doesnt start up again today then ive only had a 3 day period. Ive had 4 days b4 but never ever any less.
Also Yesterday i started to get sharp pains in my right ovary that comes and goes.
It went on all afternoon and all night last night to the point it kept me awake. I did manage to get some sleep but only a hour.
And im still having the pains. Ive had to take pain killers and I have a hot water bottle which is helping.
I know this cant be ovulation or implantation with it only being cd4.
Im now worried sick i have a cyst.
The pain isnt severe but its uncomfortable.
With it being month and cycle 15 ttc now im so worried ive now got a cyst and it will stop me getting pregnant or cause more losses.
I have had a cyst in the past but was 20 years ago and i was 6 weeks pregnant with my eldest at the time.
Im worried sick ladies. I just dont need anything that will hinder our chances at my age.
Can anyone offer any insight?
 
Cramping, sore boobs, enhanced smell, sore hips, moody, exhausted all the time. Now I’m having to pee a ton and am starving all day while on an appetite suppressant to lose weight. I’m also having cravings.

Id be excited with all those symptoms. Ive got a feeling your be getting your bfp. How many dpo are you now? Apologies if you have already said.

Hi love and welcome back. I remember you and your amazing user name.
How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Im 43 and will be 44 in December. We are ttc our last baby. A rainbow baby as ive had 3 losses.
Sending so much baby dust your way.

Great visit at the fertility specialist! I already have one follicle on the right and I'm only cd4! Started Letrozole and will be on it for 9 days so hopefully that will make several more follicles.

Thats good to hear love. Im also cd4 but ive only had a 3 day period so im worried.
I have a good feeling about you.

Nothing new to report today for me. Gosh I hate the 2 week wait :sad2: had another temp rise today, but if the chart is to be believed I'm only 4dpo so I doubt it means anything.

Thats the thing when you been trying well over a year. All the excitement goes. I used to get excited when i was in the 2ww but not anymore. Its just full of dread and worry about seeing bfns or having more losses.
Has FF confirmed ovulation yet?
Hows your chart looking now?
If only 4dpo then still time for symptoms. Hope you get the best surprise. <3

@thencomesbebe Sounds great, good luck!

@needausername Welcome and good luck!

4dpo and cramping continues. Any opinions ladies? I never have cramping usually. Is it a good sign?

Cramping at 4dpo is a good sign.
Still too early for implantation but i know women on here who had cramping all through the 2ww and gotten there bfp.
I have high hopes for you.

Cramping can be very normal hon. As spotting can too. When i had the red bleed with my youngest at 14+5 weeks i had such a heavy feeling in my lower stomach like AF was going to start. Was so scary. I really thought i was miscarrying as only time ive bled in pregnancy was because i was miscarrying.
Every pregnancy can be different hon. But i totally understand the worry.
Id be the same.
If i do get another bfp, ill be a absolutely nervous wreck.
Do you have a good or bad feeling? I remember you kept saying you had a bad feeling with the mmc.
Did you get line stealers and a 3+ with the mmc too?
I know one lady on here who did have one mmc, and then had another. I remember her saying she didnt get a 3+ with the first one. But did with the second one but im not sure if it was at the right time or later.
Is the spotting only light?
Maybe just take a test just to put your mind at rest.
Xxx
 
@Suggerhoney after I removed the peak opk note from my chart, FF updated to say ovulation was detected CD 18 by my temperatures, and with the pains I felt the day before, that's what I am going with for now.
 
@Suggerhoney Hoping your af is just having an off month and that it has no affect on the rest of your cycle. I can’t see that it will and hopefully you’ll ovulate on your normal day 12.
I don’t have a bad feeling like last time but I’m still feeling terrified by these cramps and the spotting. My lines progressed fine with the missed miscarriage. I got my 3+ with Ollie at 20dpo, but I was still 2-3 at that point with the one I lost, I did get a 3+ a few days later tho and the pregnancy was fine until the baby passed at 8+3 weeks. I woke that morning and it was like my sickness had been flicked off by a switch. It was just gone and I knew it wasn’t right. I couldn’t get through to the midwives for 2 days and then the nausea slowly kicked back in. When I finally had my first appointment I told the midwife I was worried and felt something was wrong and she brushed it off and said my hormones were probably settling early. My morning sickness has always gone on until around 14 weeks with all of them so I just knew it wasn’t normal for me. I started trying to find the heartbeat from week 9 with my Doppler right up until my 12 week scan and obviously couldn’t find one. I knew in my heart baby was gone before going for my scan. My tests never indicated any thing was wrong but I honestly felt right from my bfp that I just had a bad feeling about it right from the start. I thought I was just being silly and was just nervous but my feeings turned out to be right. I’m relieved I don’t feel like it this time but I know that doesn’t mean anything. It’s terrifying when you’ve already had a loss. Just so scared to go through that again

@Ellybean oh hun that’s not fun at all. Hopefully you have a really good reason for it. My tests were completely negative 9dpo, including my 10:30pm one. Stark white, then got my first faint lines 10dpo. Still time for those to change
 
@Ellybean good luck, hope your next test goes well. Your symptoms sound promising.

@needausername welcome, I love your username!

@ChibiLena cramping is a good sign, although 4dpo is early. With my last pregnancy I swear I felt implantation a 5/6dpo and started getting a pulling/ cramping feeling constantly from 9dpo to about 8 weeks.

@Suggerhoney hopefully its not a cyst, my cycle was light and short this month as well. Hopefully just a weird month and doesn't mean anything.

I'm CD7 now, I don't usually test with OPKs until a bit later but my cycles have been getting shorter the past few months so I figured Id test early to make sure I catch the peak. I still don't expect the surge to be until CD14 or so. Yesterday I had a very low Lh reading, but today it's jumped up to a level I normally get a day before my surge. I guess I'll have to test it out since I don't know if it's normally like this. Maybe I could Ov as early as CD9 this month if my test is to be believed.
 
@Teanna Thank you! I woke up like 5 times to throw up last night and that has NEVER happened before. So I’m hoping that is promising! Even though it sucked lol
