@Welliedays its very possible you have had more but 2 confirmed would be way more than I could handle lets hope you dont have too though and that this one sticks💜💜

@candycrush2298 I'd be going about the chemicals as that would be two in a row and looking back at my cycles I had a 30 day and a 31 day cycle at the start of the year so I half wonder if they could have been chemicals too (I hadn't tested though so there's no proof but my cycles are usually 26-27 days max), so I'd likely say I'd had 3 to get my progesterone tests done... 2 confirmed in a row seems plenty to me!!

It's so hard not testing, but I feel like I'm actually doing OK... But then I know I'm testing on Sunday if I get that far so I guess I have a date in my head to aim for

@Welliedays I have seen many women say it feels like AF is coming. So dont think you're out yet. 🤞 for a sticky bean!!!
If you do go to the doctor they won't help you unless you have been TTC for at least 1 year on NHS so keep that in mind you may have to tell a white lie haha. Or if you have had 3 chemicals then they may send for the tests @Boc86 can better advise though😔

And thank you I really need everyone's help because I am absolutely awful at testing continuously and then getting myself all worked up.

@namechangettc I feel like AF is coming, I obvs really hope not, but I'm really not counting it out right now!! My tummy totally feels like it does the day of or the day before AF. So I could well be joining you again. In some ways, if it does happen then at least I can get my self to the doctor and like @boc86 I can hopefully be sorted ready for when we can trying again next year, so I guess not all will be lost. Trying to stay positive that I do have a sticky bean, but I am mentally preparing for AF arrival so it won't upset me too much.. I should have tested this morning but actually I'd probably rather not know if the line is lighter!

@candycrush2298, got it... We won't ask about dpo or testing!!

NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 09:01

Tomorrow.

Boobs not sore any more. Pretty much 100% out

@NamechangeTTC oh read that all wrong hahaha. Thats good that you not spotting. I guess since you not testing you just wait for AF. When is AF actually due or are you already late?🤞

OP posts:
NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 08:48

I’m not spotting which is more confusing 😂

candycrush2298 · 19/08/2020 08:31

@ReginaaPhalange awwww no!! Test again tonight if its still high then you are still peaking and hopefully haven't yet ovulated so hopefully you can still make it tonight. When was the last time you Bd'd?

@NamechangeTTC so sorry you spotting more now. Think its a good plan not to test.

@snapple21 your temps didn't drop and AF started that sounds so weird lol!!! Never knew that could happen. But I guess without a coverline its tough to say how far down it is.

So sorry AF started hun!!! I am loving your plan specifically step 6!!! What vitamins are you taking is it preconception vits?

I am with you on step 4!! Doing the same thing. Starting from Monday I am going back on eating clean. Already ordered groceries from Tesco to be delivered so I avoid temptation of adding shit to my basket lol. Its probably not going to last long because I got on holiday in 4 weeks. But 3 weeks of eating clean might at least the photos of me look a little better 🤣🤣 then after holiday I will be almost going back to the office full time which is when I am really going to be back in routine and eating clean and being more active comes very naturally.
We can do this!!!

I am going to need all your girls support for not testing early. Please don't even ask me when am I going to test lol it just gets me excited and makes me test 🤣🤣 and if I mention I want to test tell me not too. Dont even ask what dpo I am because when I type it out I will know I am getting close to testing days hahahaha!!! Know this Friday I will be 1dpo and that means the earliest I will test is next week Sunday at 10dpo. Really need all your help as I cant be a psycho again this cycle 🤣🤣🤣

It's hard to say @Kaybobx this is why I honestly hate blue dye tests. I think do a FRER later and hopefully that will give you a clearer picture 🙏🏻

My temp hasn't dropped loads but AF has started today. 30 day cycle. Bring on cycle four. Any hints or tips people! This is my plan -

  1. Clear blue monitor.
  2. Soy tablets days 3-7.
  3. Take vitamins every day.
  4. Try and lose weight.
  5. Have sex when the monitor says high until it finishes saying peak.
  6. DO NOT BUY ANY PREGNANCY TESTS UNLESS PERIOD IS LATE!!!!!!!
NamechangeTTC · 19/08/2020 08:03

Trying to catch up but I’ve missed things.

@ReginaaPhalange what do you think you’re late for?

I’m not spotting this morning but decided not to test either since I’ve already pissed my way through 4 FRER.

ReginaaPhalange · 19/08/2020 07:56

Awww guys I fell asleep last night 😫😫😫 will it be too late when I get home from work??

@Kaybobx I think I have developed line eyes because I see a line in both. I could be seeing things as I proved that to myself last cycle haha. But the fact that your temps are still up is a good thing. If your temps are still up by Saturday then you would have passed your longest luteal phase. Let's see what the FRER says its the most sensitive test out there.

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 19/08/2020 07:34

Morning,
So my Tesco test has another faint positive.
Wondfo test nothing but a shadow if i stare really hard (line eyes) however my temp did go up slightly. I think the Tesco tests are giving false positives to be honest.

@Boc86 ooooh exciting for your bbt thermometor!! Now you will be able to see when you have ovulated and know the day /day before AF is going to start through your temps. Or hopefully you will be able to see your temps will stay high and see that long luteal phase you need.

Hope the suppositories are going to sort you out xx

Boc86 · 19/08/2020 05:55

Yay for static and positive opk @ReginaaPhalange

Bought my thermometer @candycrush2298 I’m so excited to get started! Yay for your strong opk! I got my strongest even the other week and I’m sure it’s the ton of vitamins and aspirin I’m taking
Ooo exciting @Kaybobx hope this is it for you

I’m still on AF, day 6 but first 3 days were just brown. I think this could be the last day
Starting my opks next week, I know I can’t ttc but I’m still tracking cycles and trying to lengthen this damned LP

Welliedays · 18/08/2020 22:26

@candycrush2298 haha ok, I'm going to stop stressing and googling now and get an early night ready for an accurate BBT in the morning. Arghhh I'm scared. Catch you all in the morning. Night. X

@Kaybobx lol the reason midwives don't recommend it is because its not reliable some women their cp only goes high again at like 6 weeks pg.

@snapple21 yeah totally get that!! Its so easy to use your knowledge and give advice to others as its a natural thing you have been trained to do but when you need to take what you have been taught and apply it to yourself it becomes foreign lol. Argh and I 100% feel you on reigning yourself in I definitely need to do that fell down the black hole this last cycle. Can't drive myself mental again this cycle.

OP posts:
ReginaaPhalange · 18/08/2020 22:00

I snack all the time haha! Need to get back onto the treadmill but last week was a write off as was constantly having to go into Glasgow to check the car I was buying to make sure the things they said would get done actually got done! So that was 3 nights last week, then I made excuses for the other nights haha!!!

Kaybobx · 18/08/2020 22:00

@candycrush2298 @snapple21 ive just checked my CP after a shower (i know midwives don't recommend this) haha. Its super hard and low so AF is definitely coming. Ughhhhhh!

The cookie dough was insane but i feel so sick now haha.

snapple21 · 18/08/2020 21:55

You're deffo not out - I thought I could see a line on the wondfo too @Kaybobx that cookie dough looks insane also 😅

@candycrush2298 it's very hard to engage midwife brain when it's yourself involved. When I had my son I felt like I knew nothing, in pregnancy and beyond. It's crackers really. Need to reign myself in a bit, I'm great at giving advice to others but need to believe it myself too ❤️

candycrush2298 · 18/08/2020 21:51

@Kaybobx oooh at least just a few more weeks and then you will be able to start again. So not too bad.

Lol even me hahaha.

Its the blue dye test no matter where you post it people will automatically say evap because its blue dye. When we see the wondfo and FRER we will know for sure with fmu. Dont count yourself out yet. I see it all the time when someone posts got my BFP and they post a pic of a blue dye test the comments blow up with evap/false positives etc. I think because every second person has had a false positive and had their hearts crushed by them.
