Hello and welcome!

I kinda wanted to make my own thread as I've been itching to POAS at only 7dpo 😒 I know I know... ridiculous right?

So need you lovely ladies to join in and keep each other distracted, share your experience, have a giggle/cry together and most importantly have each others support during BFNs and BFPs.

Please feel free to jot down your cycle/dpo info and when your AF is due so we can all keep a track of where we are!

This is also a thread where you are free to post any thoughts, poems, pictures, recipes, dreams and aspirations, the good the bad and the ugly 😝

As always stay safe and baby dust to you all!

Caramel x

Cycle #6
CD22
7 DPO
TTC #1
A fudging F due 17th

Sorry I am late to the thread! I would love to join, I am due AF on Sunday but got these today at 11dpo with afternoon wee, I'm so hoping it is positive and would love to share the journey with others 🥰

Fingers crossed for you @CaramelTart23 x

CaramelTart23 · 17/06/2020 21:46

@BronzeSilverGold13 Really hoping it works out for all us here on this thread. It's just frustrating when you've come so close to the end of tww and it's still just a waiting game ughgh 😩

Thank youuu 🙏 if I don't get a darker line by tomorrow I think I might just give my GP a call x

@2020mission My last test was so feint I had to use filters just to get a squint of it lol.. I've not needed that today (fmu)... thank god I held it in my hubby thinks I'm a pee machine haha

I've been using OPKs every morning and evening and my peak was a little late this cycle at cd15 around 11pm

AF due today according to flo but we'll see I will be testing again tomorrow x

personally I find it difficult to check CM as I don't get much of it. But like you I have found it really confusing this cycle. Usually light brown and light pink CM are a good sign so let's hope we get our sticky bean 🙏🙏🙏

Bfn for me today. Due on usually today.. but cycles have been known to go on a day or two longer. 14dpo and bfn so think I'm out. Trying to convince myself it's because I tested like 20 mins ago and lots of water and juice today. Maybe try Friday with fmu if no af by then.
@CaramelTart23 can defo see your line. Was it with fmu? X

2020mission · 17/06/2020 21:26

@CaramelTart23 I do see a faint line in that FRER you just posted but can't recall how faint or strong it was previously. Was your ovulation estimated or did you do tests? I hope it sticks for you 🤞 when would AF have been due?

I started getting brown or pink tinted CM for 2-3 days before AF over the last few months but I never got that in the past until I started TTC - it's really confusing.

BronzeSilverGold13 · 17/06/2020 21:12

@CaramelTart23 thank you for saying that! I sent it to my BFF and she said she couldn't see anything and DP said he wasn't sure, I don't know if I'm wishing it there or if it's visible.

I still see a line in the test you've just posted! I've been reading up about how the HCG leaves can actually fluctuate! That's why I mentioned about the Ovulation tests... I read that the ovulation tests actually look for a LH which is a similar hormone to HCG but the tests can detect lower amounts of HCG if taken after a missed AF. I took one this evening after my test and it's very much positive! So either I'm ovulating again/late or it's a low amount of LH/HCG?!

I know what you mean about driving yourself crazy! I am too. I just want to know one way or another now!

I'm feeling pretty much the same as I was tbh. Still getting a lot of watery CM to the point that DP actually asked if I was turned on!

I really hope it gets darker for you but I also read that sometimes the HCG levels are so low that it only really gets detected by blood test! So if you're still unsure if go to GP!

CaramelTart23 · 17/06/2020 21:01

Feeling really drained... this cycle has really tested my patience lol 😅

This is my test from this morning at 14dpo.... no sign of AF yet.

Still feeling the hot flushes and heaviness in my uterus and light brown cm which is definitely odd as I don't get any cm before AF. She comes very much imminently 😒

I really don't know what to make of this test and hoping that it does get darker tomorrow 😩 feel like I'm being tricked by my own body.

Should I be worried?

@BronzeSilverGold13 Heyyy sorry for the late response... I decided to give myself a time out.

How have you been feeling?

I think I see a little bit of blue on the test line, I would deffo test again with fmu. Hope it goes well! Xx

I've tested again today 😩😭 it's definitely darker than the last test I did but still feint I'm not sure why since it's been 2-3 days I was sure it would be a lot darker than this hmmm... think I'll be testing again tomorrow 😩 this is driving me INSANE god I just want to screammmm!!

@2020mission see my cramps keep coming and going and it's not really usual af cramps but with 3 bfn now I can't see it changing. Just wanna know whats going on!
@BronzeSilverGold13 not sure I can see one but it's a pain when the camera doesn't pick it up. I'm sure you'll get a clearer one with fmu.

BronzeSilverGold13 · 17/06/2020 19:12

Sorry ladies I know I sound obsessed but I read a thing about OPKs being used as a pregnancy test so decided to try it... it had something to do with LH and HCG being similar does anyone know if this is true!?

Sarason · 17/06/2020 19:10

Hi everyone. I'm very new to mumsnet so bare with me as I learn. Smile
Hope I'm OK to join you ladies.

I'm 32, ttc #2, cycle#1 I have 1 dc, 13. I had my mirena removed mid May and ov 10th June. I believe I'm 6 or 7 dpo but unsure what my body is actually doing at the moment but did ovulate as I bought loads of ov tests and have been obsessed with the whole process. Can't wait to poas and get a bfp!! X

BronzeSilverGold13 · 17/06/2020 18:33

Hi ladies, I've just done a test but I can't be certain if I see a faint line or not! I don't know if it's just me... it's not picking up on pictures I don't think! If it's there It's super faint! I have another so I'll do it in morning with FMU but can anyone else see anything or am I getting my hopes up?

@Tonithetiger I'm also impatiently waiting for AF to arrive to get it out of the way! I've had my usual spotting I get these days for 2 days before AF starts and a completely negative FRER days ago so 100% know it's a no this month. Just wish I could get to CD1 to start again fresh.

Glad to see others have been getting some good news though 👍🏼 there's hope for us all

Tonithetiger · 17/06/2020 16:31

I can't believe how lucky this thread is, congratulations all with bfp!
I had cramps yesterday and bad night last night. Strange pulling feeling round my belly button all day and even though I'm due today no sign of af. Just did an IC and bfn again. Wish AF would just turn up now so I can get trying again next month 😭.

Exhausted1989 · 17/06/2020 12:41

Oh wow so many BFPs. Congratulations to you all!! I’ve just had brown discharge (sorry tmi) so I think I’m out, having period cramps too. Trying to be positive it’s hard when no one knows we are trying to continue as normal.

GreysLove · 17/06/2020 12:16

Thank you all I'm really holding back on getting my hopes up too much but I'm tentatively excited. Everything crossed for a sticky bean!

Good luck to everyone else with BFPs and those with BFNs so far keep at it.

I will keep you all posted! Hoping for a stronger line in the next few days x

BronzeSilverGold13 · 17/06/2020 12:05

@runnerttc I honestly don't know what advice I'm looking for! I guess I just don't want to get my hopes up! I had a BFN on a cheap strip test at 14DPO but still no sign of AF I'm not sure if it was the test that failed or that's it's just a BFN. I'm not sure what to do. I might just stick to my plan and buy a FRER today and see if AF arrives if not do the test tomorrow morning! 😆 I'm going out of my mind but I really don't want to get my hopes up at all!

bluebubbles12 · 17/06/2020 11:55

@GreysLove I can see it too!!

Darcy86 · 17/06/2020 11:45

@GreysLove I can see a faint line, I think that's a good plan - leave it till the weekend and test again! FX for you!

runnerttc · 17/06/2020 11:41

@BronzeSilverGold13... I'm a full on POAS addict so depending on the advice you want to hear... I bought my FRER yesterday, held my wee as long as I could and did it in the afternoon! 🤣 I figured £10 was worth it to put me out of my misery lol.

runnerttc · 17/06/2020 11:39

Wahhh @GreysLove congratulations!! What a few days we're having on here! So so excited for everyone!!
Ladies you haven't got yours yet, or maybe AF has knocked you out this month, don't give up! Genuinely on Monday this week I felt so down and was ready to completely give up on TCC altogether. It will happen 🥰

hannah88j · 17/06/2020 11:10

Hi Everyone! I've been so absent I'm so sorry! Can't believe the amount of BFP's on here - massive congratulations to all of you, that's so amazing! June must be a super sticky month! I've been trying to keep my mind off TTC and googling every little symptom (hence why I haven't been on here!) but now 6dpo and i couldn't resist the urge to come back and join you all 😂 I had really bad cramping all day yesterday and really thought AF was coming super early but no sign of it today and all the cramps have disappeared... very strange! No other symptoms really but still holding out hope that this is my month 🤞🏻

BronzeSilverGold13 · 17/06/2020 11:07

Hello ladies, congrats on the BFP
@GreysLove I see the line!

I dont know what to do today! AF still hasn't arrived! I'm thinking of buying a FRER and doing it tomorrow morning if AF hasn't arrived by the time I wake up! I don't feel AF coming on anytime soon but this is only my first proper cycle since I had my implant out! Although last months cycle started exactly when I thought it would!

I'm just worried I'll do a test and find it's just because my cycles are messed up I'm on CD#31 and 15 DPO( if it was correct)

Any advice ladies?

GreysLove · 17/06/2020 10:27

@Maybe333 Thank you for looking, it's definitely a squinter. Trying not to get carried away and will sit on my hands for the rest of the day and not use anymore tests until at least FMU tomorrow.

Maybe333 · 17/06/2020 10:22

@GreysLove I can see a line! I would be excited to see that! Fingers crossed for you! 🤞
