Do you have any other signs at the moment? Could just be you are going to ovulate day 20 instead xx

Only sensitive boobs and a little CM! No cravings for salt as of yet lol. No trouble sleeping (usually a dead giveaway) if I can’t sleep xx

Morning everyone!

Hope you have all had a lovely weekend so far and are enjoying the sunshine we have had this week?!

Got my flashing smiley on clearblue this morning CD16 a day later than last cycle! So either ovulation is going to happen rapid or it’ll be the same as always and the SI has done naff all! My cheapies are just staying at around 0.4 at the moment have been for the last couple of days. Going to try and BD every other day from now on but just feeling very deflated now x

Woooo yay, get BDing
Thats weird the chespies aren't showing anything above 0.4, maybe they'll change all of a sudden. Its a good your using the clear blue too, its just a shame they're so expensive.
Aww don't feel deflated, you've got a flashy so its going in the right direction. You'll cover all bases BD every other day. Xx

It’s a shame that they haven’t worked! But you have a smiley face to work with. Don’t feel deflated huni. Xx

Just bought some cheapies out of curiosity.

I think I’ve ovulated already but today is my normal day so want to test, see if they are any better.

Had cramping last night, and nausea the last couple of days and my temp was up last night. So we’ll see! Xx

AF Arrived yesterday so onto March TTC. Got my clear blue ovulation tests ready to use this month. If I have a 28-30 day cycle should I start testing for ovulation around CD10 or do I need to start earlier than that?? I don’t want to waste tests by starting too soon xx

I started as soon as my AF finished lol xx

Poundland ones seem a hell of a lot better than one step xx

I test my whole cycle after af finishes. I use the cheap ones up until I start seeing progress and then the clear blue once a day until the lines on the tests darken to find peak x

That’s much better isn’t it! Your app is still reading the handle of the test as a line try taking them manually see if that helps x

I have tried that and nothing comes up. Will do tonight tho! Xx

That’s really odd! My cheap ones have gone lighter this afternoon I wouldn’t say I had drunk any more than normal either as we have been out walking for a couple of hours. Getting very conflicting results! X

Hey ladies, how are you all doing?

I'm CD9 and still bleeding, although quite light.

I last tested Wednesday/Thursday and the lines were still really dark, I was starting to worry about retaining the pregnancy. I re-tested last night and it's much fainter.

Also, I saw a TikTok today which made me physically feel like I was about to burst a blood vessel. Maybe all social media is toxic?

I have re-started taking my BBT to confirm, if or when ovulation happens.
I can only remember one other cycle where I was TTC & had a MC, I usually ovulated on CD15 and ovulated CD24, So I think tracking my BBT will be mega helpful to see if I do ovulate this cycle.

Top photo - Wed/Thu (Can't remember which)
Bottom photo - Saturday evening. A few more days and I think it'll be negative.

I think I'm still in SHOCK that this happened again, in shock that we actually fell pregnant (after 29 long months) and in shock that we've miscarried again. As if December & Januarys' wasn't enough.

@Mrsbridge17 thanks for tip think I’ll order some cheap ones. I used those whilst TTC number 2 but I never got a dark line even with testing twice per day. I’m only planning to use CB to get an idea of my fertile days, in general aim to BD every other day from Cd7 to Cd20 but find it exhausting to fit in! Told my husband need to up our game if serious about TTC x

Yes hun this is reading the handle not the test and control line. As MrsB says move the cursor manually to get the right lines

That is conflicting, but if you BD now every other day I think that will make sure you're covered.

Its awful its happened again for you.
Are yout doctors going to run any tests to see if they can determine the causes?

Your line is deffo fainter, its going the right way.

I know a couple of you guys have PCOS so thought I’d ask in here.

I have been reading up and I’m 99% certain I have insulin resistant PCOS as all of the symptoms below I have

• Cravings for sweets and salty foods
• Darkening of skin in the groin, armpits, or behind the neck
• Fatigue
• Frequent or increased urination
• Increased hunger or thirst
• Tingling sensation in the hands of feet
• 
  I was just wondering if any of you have this type and how they diagnose it as I don’t think it looks like a hba1c would be sufficient x
