2DPO - Anyone with me....!

What I can say is two of my closest bessies, both 38 in last few months have fallen (which is prob why I feel extra pressure). One was trying for 6 months (and she had breast cancer and thought it would never happen) and the other one wasn’t even trying and she just fell. I do think stress and worry delays it. It is so much easier to say don’t stress than it is to put into practice but I do believe that overthinking it puts extra pressure on your body x

So I caved and tested again - 11 dpo

I'm either just staring at an indent line or the world's most squintiest of squinters! 🙈 Yesterday's didn't have either, which helped lol

@Aila1994 we tried September (missed the window because I was ill so don't really count this), October and November - so two proper attempts and on the second we have a positive tests - I am 4 weeks + 4 today ❤️

I think I had been a bit quiet on here, I then posted on the Tuesday how I had a mini melt down, I had assumed I would be pregnant immediately, sex had turned clinical which was exactly what DP didn't want, I was obsessive with OPK, it felt like everywhere I went there were babies and I thought there must be something the matter with me - I don't have time to waste as I'm 30. Everyone on here were amazing and assured me that they'd all gone through these feelings - I stopped testing and on the Friday felt unwell - I did a FR and it was positive!

Your emotional are totally normal and to be expected! I was sat thinking how do people fall pregnant accidentally, with babies that they don't want, don't care for etc and I'm sat here desperate for a baby who would be so very loved and have a stable upbringing. It was breaking my heart.

It may take time but I will happen for you ❤️ I know I was obsessive about OPK but I do think that the CB connected app helped as it put it all into a calendar with a Fertilily ❤️

Took me two months to conceive first time round @Aila1994- which tbh I think has given me false hope it will be quick this time too when it probably won’t be!! ☹️
I tried to order a frer yesterday from amazon but none of them can arrive for a week soooo pointless really as I’ll know by then anyway!! I do love a frer, defo most sensitive. I’m gonna hung in some pharmacies today

@Aila1994 I've been pregnant 3 times, first one conceived first month & second 3 months, but both ectopic. My DD took 3 months.

But then I tried for a year from when she was 10 months and wasn't successful. Think I had 1 or 2 chemical pregnancies.

This is my first month trying again 2 years later. Even with my experience, I still believed I would fall pregnant first month. I think it's just how we are when we really want something ❤ Don't lose hope x

@EllyNC @EllyNC291yeah I used the first response 6 days earlier, they seemed to be the most sensitive I can find and only need a really small amount of HCG to show that second line. They are expensive in the shops but you can get 2 for around £6 on Amazon

@Aila1994 didn’t even read your question properly! It was aimed at ladies that have got babies or pregnant.. that’s not me! Sorry read too quickly

@Aila1994 - for me that’s tough. I came off pill earlier in year but almost avoided fertile time for a few months. Then casually just wasn’t watching what I was doing but obvs weren’t doing it on right dates. In august I downloaded app, in September I paid attention to app and from Oct I started doing ovulation strips! So I’d say ‘trying at the right time’ 3 months x (but I am late 30’s so I assume it will take me longer - so I may not be the best example!) x

@coffeewithmilk I’m so sorry 😞, chemical pregnancies are tough x let us know how you feel tomorrow

This one is for everyone who has already fallen pregnant. How many cycles did it take before you got your BFP? We’ve only tried this month for the first time, but I felt like we would get pregnant straight away, no idea why! So it’s left me a bit deflated 😣.

@coffeewithmilk I’m so sorry to hear about this! Hopefully it’s not a chemical pregnancy, it can be normal to bleed in early pregnancy 😣! My fingers are crossed for a good result, but if it turns out to be bad news, take it easy this weekend.

@Emz1995 ignore! Just seen the picture!! I need to track down some frer!!!

@Emz1995 Did you use frer?
@Pudding01hahaha me too!

@Emz1995 now I want to test tomorrow 😫🤣

@EllyNC yes that first test in my picture was day 10! There was absolutely nothing there and then it wasn’t until 11DPO when something actually showed up

@HerringGull I’ll be a nightmare at this! but I’ll give it a whirl and I’ll def share the chart when I’ve got enough info to even work it out!

@cc7750 yeah it's really important it's the same time each day, before you even get out of bed! Mine varies by half an hour at most. You can go back to sleep after though! 😆

@Pudding01 & @EllyNC good luck for tomorrow and Sunday. @HerringGull just come off so I’ll start testing from tomorrow. Does anyone know if it is imperative you test first thing, I’ll be a nightmare at that. I’ll remember after my first coffee ha

@coffeewithmilk ❤️ I'm so sorry my darling! Please take extra special care of yourself this weekend!!! xxx

Ahhh @Pudding01 sorry to hear that that must be quite a brain freeze to work out every month!!! I’m planning to start temping from tomorrow (if i remember) then at least over the next few months I can compare.
I want to hold out till Sunday too, particularly as I don’t have any frer but hubby has come home with some cheapies so I now have 3 to play with haha! But also know if it’s negative tomorrow I’ll count myself out and be sad 🤔

@EllyNC I want to say Sunday, as I know there's probably no point tomorrow. But it would take a lot to not test tomorrow lol

Definitely tracking my temps next month if this month isn't successful.
I have to give myself a break though, I only have 1 tube, so even though I ovulate, it could be from the wrong ovary 😒

@Cc7750 lol I got one too, it arrived yesterday then this morning I totally forgot and got up for a wee haha 🤣
@Er1608 I might order some frer too- so hard to find in shops!
@Emz1995 did you have bfn at 10dpo too then?? Few niggly things Making me think I could be pregnant but then the bfn today has made me question if I’m just overthinking it all and it’s just signs of AF! Not sure when to test again now. @Pudding01 when are you gonna test again?

Good on ya, @cc7750! Hope it helps you ☺️ Remind me where in your cycle you are just now?

I’ve bought a proper thermometer today, one with the extra digit.. Christ this means I’m really dedicated ha!
Hope everyone’s doing well

Ordered some FRER tests and will be testing Monday morning.... Monday I'll be 11 dpo and AF due 4 days later.... FINGERS CROSSED
