Back to SQUARE ONE CD1! Anyone want to spend April with me?!

Yes I was doing tests and even had a few faint positives but they didn't get any stronger I am now Doing Ovulation tests and IC's.

Hi Mrs

Jod are you doing any tests, with my first I came off the pill and had long cycles so I ended up testing twice per week (with an internet cheapy) until it finally came up positive. I had to limit myself though and not test every day. Felt like it took ages.

I'm in my two week wait. I'm not very good at waiting!

I'm 30
On cycle day 25
Cycle 1
TTC second baby, first baby boy is 22 months

CD 35 maybe

Glad all is well with you ladies. Still no bleeding, feel hot and nauseous today, especially when I brushed my teeth which I had in last two PG's?!

footprints I'm glad you are feeling more positive. It's such a rollercoaster of emotions isn't it, one minute high as a kite and the next crying quietly into a decaf tea.

Fingers crossed parney I think I will probably cave and buy some FRERs though I'm swinging between testing early and not testing until 15 days Po.

At least DH has got into the swing of things with all the dtd. He was supposed to be going out tonight and I'm very glad he's not though I do feel a bit guilty because he could go if I could get out of work early.

ni looks close, think it could peak later today or tomorrow. Lots of DTD for you!

footprints really hope it's just a random cycle and you'll be back to normal next month. 38 seems far too young for perimenopause to me. Have you got a GP appointment booked in?

radders line is a line I can imagine it must be a really nerve wracking time. Have you made a medical appointment at all? I'm not sure what you're meant to do.

I have no breast pain for the first time in what feel like forever, this close to my period. It's actually weird. Every single month they hurt like a bitch. This month - nada.

I am half wondering if I should wait until Saturday to test. If it's positive I'm not sure I'll be able to go to work and act normally!

CD18

Seems as though the first response ones are the better tests.
Yes a line is a line- faint or not.

So today a brand new day. I went to bed early last night like gruff the grump. Wanted time alone. Just cheesed off that I did all the opks and were positive, did the timing right with dtd ( lots of effort too), then for this to happen. The confusion continues as my temp is high 3rd day in row after the darkest opk so from my temp chart it looks like I still ovulated. Still have watery stretchy cm mixed with blood. The pains were def ovulation and not AF. It doesn't look like a usual period- no clots or anything and it's brighter red rather than darker red. How ovulation ever happens with the blood coming down I don't know?!

I'm 38 so worried it's perimenopause. Still not giving up as I know it's still possible. Also had that crazy long cycle last month that may have effected hormones and cycle.

Next step is still try an opk 8-16 days from here and see if I ovulate again or get my AF? Your guess is as good as mine!?

Hope today is a good day for you ladies xx

Definitely!! :)
Yay

I'm pretty sure I've had a positive OPK This morning. What do you think? CD 16 is at the top.

I've done a FRER and the like is definitely there. I'm just worried it's not getting darker as the days go on but I've googled it and apparently that's ok.. A line is a line

Forgot to say that on the other lady's post there were barely any lines on the cheaper brands!

I was just going to say that he sounds lovely 😊 how sensitive are the super market ones? I think there was a lady on another thread who was about 6 weeks pg or more and was posting the difference between own brands and FRER at that stage! I think I might buy a box of them! I've been rushing to the loo as soon as I wake up so I'm not tempted to test early with my ICs 🙈
CD 23 AF due at the weekend!

The supermarkets are supposed to be 4 days before period too ... !

Yea hopefully. There's none in morrisons so having to drive asda now. Bless him!

I'm sure the FRER will put both of you at ease! Those other tests are for after AF aren't they? Try not to panic too much!

The only symptom I have is thick creamy mucus which only properly kicked in yesterday
I've had mild cramps but would take that as AF coming.

I'm in a panic because I've done asda and morrisons tests this morning, they are the same test btw, and there's like no line coming up. There is after a bit a very faint one but not within 3 minutes. So OH has gone to supermarket to get some FRER.
The stress doesn't stop once you've conceived ... You just keep thinking please stick. It's actually quite heart wrenching. Just waiting now

Oh footprints! I'm sure you're terribly confused 😥 hopefully the doctor will have some sort of explanation! I can see how you'd be disheartened though, strange that OPKs are positive! Are you recently off the pill? Have you done a pg test?
Ah radders if you had waited to test tomorrow do you think you would have suspected? Any dead give aways for us to look out for?? Same for you NewHair?
Oh Jod, I hope you get answers soon enough!

I can see the line congratulations!

Aww footprints - so sorry to hear but hopefully it means your cycles may get a little shorter going forward. Probably just getting back to normal. A doctors trip may help though just to put your mind st ease.

Jod I really don't know what to say. It's confusing. I really hope you get a BFP soon and things become clearer.

AF would've been due tomorrow so anxious to get through this week now with no bleeding.
Hoping my morrisons test tomorrow morning is darker.
I still ha be about 4 or 5 tests left so I'm going to do one every morning until they've gone! I didn't realise I bought so many

Phew, thought you were all going to laugh at me.

Sucha, try not to be down. We know plenty of people renting in and out the city. Most have children. They don't find it an issue. As PP have said, a child just needs to be loved.

Symptoms wise I have beensuoer teary / emotional and tired. I did think this might be down to two mammoth work trips but when I showed DH the test he said 'ahhh, that explains why you have been acting so crazy'.

Jod, I can definitely see pink lines. Have you tried a digital test? I will do one later this week.

Definitely get some chocolate Footprints. Sending you

I see a line too Newhair!!! 😍

Sucha I'm sorry to hear you're going through a tough time with housing! I really see no fault won't TTC while renting. I wouldn't put that aspect of my life on hold for anything! We're all here to help, hopefully you're feeling better!

Oh you can hardly see it on here, promise it is there in RL.

Footprints a doctors trip might not be a bad idea. I feel sad for you. Go have some wine and chocolate
