Thou shall not tell everyone to eat Yams

Two tests S1lver? Hard to say but I know I have defo had a couple of very short CPs this year, one with the worlds faintest test, one a bit more positive, I think it is fairly common. Give it another 48 hours and check again?

@NimbleKnitter that's great news! Huge congratulations, wishing you a calm and trouble free nine months.

I tested positive yesterday and also got a very pale second line on a dip test. Every other test yesterday came up as negative. All tests this morning are so white that they could be used as a persil advert. What do we reckon? Dodgy test or world's shortest chemical? Still no period.

Congratulations Nimble! Great to see a long term ttc'er graduate. I'm about 7/8 dpo and nothing to report other than sore boobs yesterday. However I'm not expecting a bfp as fw came and went.

Oh ffs. Had a positive opk yesterday afternoon (super positive like the second line came up straight away), negative opk last night. Negative opk today, positive tonight again. Going insane.

Congratulations @NimbleKnitter ! 

@dudemeister76 I’ve have lots of blood tests over the past two years and they seem to show things are working. Fingers crossed that yours are ok too!

AF is just on her way out here so back to super healthy, no wine and loads of fruit/veg.

Goodness me. Nimble I really am so pleased to hear this. Lovely, hopeful news.

I’ve taken the weekend off mn and thinking about ttc. Lots of booze, Xmas shopping and wedding planning which has really relaxed both of us. Bone a lot plan starts Tuesday, so this weekend has been dtd without pressure and v helpful. And fun. I need to get mind off things for my own sanity. Another cousin announced a surprise bfp on Friday and I just wanted to sob.

@NimbleKnitter that's just wonderful! So, so pleased for you.

I'm at that point oh just wishing AF would hurry the flip up - due between tomorrow & Wed and ridiculous lower back pain so well on her way. Just want to get into CD1 and cycle 20 (I think)

Wah congratulations @NimbleKnitter so pleased for you

Wow, congrats @NimbleKnitter. Pleased for you xx

Yay nimble! Congratulations! xx

Oh my god, congrats nimble!!!

nimble that’s amazing news! Congratulations x

Congrats nimbleknitter!!!

@BustleSpouts I can't really tell if the maca has actually done much because my cycles were shot after the mc anyway but i have noticed a definite reduction in PMS. I'm much less of a psycho these days lol. Im waiting to go to an appointment on the 21st for blood test results so we will see how that pans out.
12 DPO and zero symptoms. I'm looking forward to feeling positive for a few days next cycle......and so it goes on.....again.

OMG @NimbleKnitter !!! I bloody knew we'd have a BFP soon. So happy for you xxx Thats cheered me up that has!! Splendid news.

@NimbleKnitter. Congratulations! x

Congrats Nimble, I doubt 3 will be a fluke! Happy and healthy 9 months to you

Uhmm. So I just got three positive tests

Thanks for the welcome @dudemeister76 TBH I don’t think the maca is doing much. My periods have always been pretty regular. I’ve had the various tests done which seem to confirm ovulation etc. I suppose taking the maca does no harm. I’m not a big fan of yams!

@Hopefullywaiting Thanks xxx
@BustleSpouts Welcome! I have just turned 41 so i definitely understand how that one feels. FX you're not here too long (no offence)
Im on the ubiquinol and maca too. Been taking all sorts since mmc in july and hoping its doing some good. Do you reckon the maca has balanced your hormones out?

Hello all! Long time lurker here. I've been in hiding throughout TTC but have now decided after 2 years of trying I could do with some TTC solidarity on this journey.

Stats:
BustleSpouts
Age 41 (when did that happen?)
TTC 24 months (ish)
Partner: possible poor sperm motility so having a re-test (and he is a bit older than me)
Me: all seems reasonably okay but having a hysteroscopy soon to make sure.
Supplements: everything under the sun inc. ubiquinol and maca.

Getting rather fed up and losing a bit of hope.

No problem and ahh i am sorry to hear that . i think you said a couple of pages back your due tommorow apologise if not you. Hopefully you are able to do something nice with today to take your mind off of things?.

Af started late last night/ early hours this morning so definitely out but thankyou for Good luck wishes at least i know one way or the other. Onto next cycle now

Xx

Haha thank you @Hopefullywaiting .. I’m pretty sure I am out as after 3 mins it was a pure white bfn! Good luck to you x

Hi there TheGrumpySquirrel (waves)

I have just joined and probably not the best person to talk you down (see user name) as feel mean in talking you down and dashing your hopes, but letting you know im here. i would have thought though that on a Frer you would have a clear positive on Cd12 you are right there. hope someone is along soon with better advice /more able to brutally talk you down . if thats what you want xxx

I just tortured myself by watching a FRER develop. I normally do this, rather than just look after 3 mins, but usually there is nothing happening even during development. This time there was a line! Then once fully developed, no line! FFS I know it’s probably just the dye being pulled over the indent but of course it means I start hoping again. At 12DPO a FRER should be a clear positive so please talk me down??
