Trying for Jan BFP

@Farfaraway1 Tested this morning - it's my daughters birthday today and obviously NYD, so thought it would be amazing to get a positive.

BFN. Not even a hint of a line. Not even the squintiest of eyes would see one.

I am due today but not testing until Sunday or Monday feel very much like af is creeping up on mr x

Have been pretty busy here but just checking in..
@Idreamof2more & @legohaus have either of you tested at all yet?
@idkwhatsgoingon how you going holding out on the testing?

I’m about 4 dpo here.. nerve racking wait..........

I think I'm 9dpo but I'm not 100% sure. I'm trying my hardest not to test until at least 12-13dpo. I don't really have many symptoms that are different than PMS sore boobs/nipples, cramps hear and then but it is not over until AF arrives ladies

I’m in cd19 and still no sign of ovulation so wondering if I’ve missed it. So annoying! We’ve had lots of sex so it doesn’t really matter but i like to know what’s going on in there. Guess I just have to wait for period to turn up now.

I have no symptoms either at all and 12 dpo had awful boob pain in prev pregnancies so think I’m out.

8DPO here now and no symptoms. With both my two previous pregnancies (DD and then MC), I had really sore boobs by now.

Trying hard not to symptom spot but it's SO hard.

Still waiting for AF! This is the 3rd day it's late, have tested but BFN! I've had a very stressful month so think it's all related 😞

@Chica1990 true, I’ve never really used opks (used to be good at bbt but my little one is very much not sleeping through so it’s not reliable at the moment) so don’t know if I have a short surge or not. Will keep testing/dtd whenever possible and keep everything except legs crossed :D

Sorry that meant to say the surge may be short so it’s easy to miss ^

@ronniemipperton you might be short so it’s hard to miss especially if your wee is diluted. You ovulate 12-36 hours after a positive ovulation test/LH surge so get on it still!!

Thanks @Chica1990and @Catmum55566 - tested last night and this morning but only faint lines so no idea if I’ve missed it or if my body was gearing up to it but it didn’t happen. Fell asleep last night by accident so didn’t dtd either 🤦‍♀️

Sorry to hear it @Monday55, I feel your pain. Are you privately funding the IUI out of interest? Sorry to be nosey, I’ve been wondering wether to bite the bullet and just pay for ivf

Thanks for the advice all, might just start taking folic acid instead. Hopefully now I have stopped taking them it won't take long for things to go back to normal! @Catmum55566 oddly enough the reason I discovered you can have a false surge is because I was getting them when I was taking the pregnacare last time and googled it...didn't associate it with the pregnacare but now I think they might have been caused by that x

I agree that is close @ronniemipperton but you might get a darker one this evening or tomorrow. Depends if you have a gradual surge or a short one.

@SEpoppet I have heard this about pregnacare before, might be worth looking an alternatives for the next cycle? I agree that having a longer wait for ovulation makes everything seem slower. I find it worse than the TWW oddly enough.

CD14 for me and nothing much going on. Got back on the temping again post Christmas and my temps are very low so I am sure you are right about that clear blue peak being a false surge!

@SEpoppet I've read about a lot of ladies who have been taking pregnacare and it delayed their ovulation as well. It probably could be that. I just take multivitamins and DP takes wellmen conception.

@ronniemipperton it’s not a true positive but it’s very close. The line by the end that says ‘max’ needs to be as dark or darker than the control line (the line towards the part of the test you hold). I often miss my peak tbh but def get on it now!

Not personally but have read that it does x

Is anyone else using Pregnacare? I decided to really commit to taking it this month and now I'm on day 13 and not a whiff of ovulation. I looked back at my cycles and every time I've taken it before it seems to have prolonged them! Did a bit of research and found out this is quite common- it even says it on the back of the packet. I'm feeling a bit annoyed actually as the whole process seems to drag on anyway without it being even longer! Just wondered if anyone had had a similar experience? Think I will stop taking it today and see where it gets me x

Enjoy 😉

I would say it def is x

Anyone good at reading ov sticks? I can’t decide if this is positive or not.

Hello! Hope it’s okay for me to join too! I love all of the support and love I read from you ladies but I’ve never been brave enough to comment before

I am on cycle 2 of TTC number 1 but my AF came 2 weeks late in cycle 1 (got me all flustered and a whole bunch of BFNs later!!) so I’m using OPKs this month to help me track better as my cycle is all out now.

Hoping for lots of BFPs for you all x

I'm joining in! Hoping this is a lucky thread as we've been Ttc for over a year. Had a MC in March 2020 and haven't seen a bfp since then.

Currently CD9 and bfp due Jan 15th. If we don't get a bfp this cycle we are going to start IUI as we are now fed up!

We have a bunch of friends and family who have had babies since we've been trying. Just wanting it to be our turn now 🥺
