@hopefulmummie looks good 👍. Fingers crossed this one is a sticky bean . Congratulations x

@tabbycat92 oh that is good . I need some tww buddies 🤣 so I can share all my imaginary symptoms x

@dex1521 I am 4 dpo so not far off yours. We can crazy symptom spot together. I have some sort of phobia when testing so I'll most likely wait until AF is due in 10 days time . I was a serial tester when I started ttc and now I can't bring myself to test . I totally get the jealous thing . I am the same and I don't no how many time I have deleted the app 🤣. It is so hard and I just feel everywhere you look other people have babies and I really want it to be me . When are you planning on testing? 💕 x

I’m 2dpo today after the best OPK positive and BBT rise I’ve ever had. Never had an OPK peak over 0.8 on premom app and this cycle I got two days of positive OPKs at 1.33/1.13 and big rise in BBT. So fingers crossed this is my cycle 🤞✨

if not I’ll have to leave mumsnet for good I think as seeing people constantly post pregnant tests is really affecting my mental health. I’ve never been a jealous person but since ttc all I feel is jealousy and think “why can’t that be me 😔” I know we all have different journeys and experiences but it’s all I want and seeing everyone else get positive tests just really gets me down.

Don’t think it helps living in a town where teenage pregnancy is rife and seeing all the immature kiddos 9months pregnant. Mini rant over and time to stay positive!

@1992EM what dpo are you? And when are you planning on testing?

Tabbycat92 · 12/01/2021 07:06

@1992EM I'll be joining you there at the end of the week.
When do you plan to test?

@hopefulmummie defo looks positive to me, and defo stronger than yesterday. Congratulations

Hopefulmummie · 12/01/2021 06:32

Morning everyone. Took tests again this morning hoping for a darker line... It's slightly darker than yesterday but part of me still doubts this is a new pregnancy. I know it probably is but I can't shake the doubts

Hey all, back again after last months confusing cycle.
Pulling out all the stops this month... Opk's, bbt, fertility vitamins for me and him, preseed lubricant.... I'm feeling positive 🤞

How is everyone else? Have I missed anything in the last week or so?

Hopefulmummie · 11/01/2021 16:51

Hi everyone.. hope it's ok for me to join. I had a miscarriage 6 weeks ago at 8 weeks. Bleeding stopped a week later and we DTD a couple of times before ovulation.. weren't overly ttc again.
So looking some reassurance I still haven't had a period. It's been 2 weeks since I ovulated as I was tracking so decided to take a pregnancy test just to see... And I'm getting lines 🙈 quite a faint line on the clear blue but darker on the strip..... I dunno if I want to believe I'm pregnant again?? eeeek. Attached a pic

I'm back sooner rather than later! Needed a weekend off it and back at it different mindset!

@Lozza85 congratulations!!! Lovely news to come back to.

@Misty84 so sorry to hear about your appointments I really wish you all the best! Please try and keep your head up and keep smiling. We're always here for you!❤️

I had the biggest maccies ever yesterday now back to it. Started with my vitamins, exercise and dieting, trying to stay less stressed etc. I know some of us are still trying and trying to keep positive about the journey but we've got each other to chat to which I find helps. I find coming off here whilst having my AF helps but yeah!

@dex1521 not at all . This is why I tend to stay off here during AF as it really impacts my mental health especially when someone gets a positive quickly, nothing against them though just that I am jealous 🤣. Mcdonalds sounds like a good way to treat yourself 💕 xx

OP posts:
Dex1521 · 10/01/2021 12:13

@1992EM all good thanks. Treating myself to a McDonald’s today to make myself feel a bit better 😂 just seeing so positive tests and announcements this past week between celebrities and friends I am a bit down but gotta keep trying. Suppose it’s my own fault being part of a ttc chat it is expected. I didn’t mean for my comment to be rude or nasty to anyone as I know we all have different journeys I think I was just a bit hormonal this morning and it showed. Xx

@laura2093 if you have done opks for. while you will be able to work out your luteal phase and be able to tell when it should happen. I was usually 13 days but the last few months have changed to 14 days. I think I can differ from person to person though.

@smidgeonofapigeon I am sorry I missed your last posts. Congratulations 💕.
@dex1521 I hope you are ok 💕 I know it can be so hard to see positives especially around AF. Hopefully we will all get to experience this soon 💕.

@SmidgenofaPigeon I don’t want to sound insensitive or unkind but your constant posting of pg tests that look positive is very upsetting I know for myself it is as I’ve been trying for a long time and have had no luck, and I know some other girls here are in the same boat. It can be very upsetting to see especially when we have been with each other throughout this journey and then someone comes into the thread looking for reassurance on a test that is quite clearly a positive. It just feels like salt is being rubbed into the wounds.

I hope you can see where I’m coming from and I don’t mean to be rude or unkind in anyway as you’re more than welcome to join the thread if ttc but also congratulations it looks positive the best test to try with is a FRER as they’re the most sensitive rather than ICs.

@1992EM I ovulated slightly later than normal so 28 days (normally) will be Wednesday but I ovulated around day 19 so could be due on Saturday 🤯

@Lozza85 congratulations 🎉 I have everything crossed for you that this one stays stuck 💕.
@Misty84 I am so sorry and hope you get your appointments ASAP. 💕.
@Smidgenofapigeon have you tested again ? Sorry I am rubbish when spotting lines .
@laura2093 I am not sure as haven't ever had them that I know of. I have read that it isn't actually implantation that causes the cramps it is the change in hormone but not sure how true that is. I have had random cramps and pulling the last 2 days but I am only 2dpo so think it has just been the changes in hormones after ovulation or that cause ovulation . I would try not get too wrapped up in it until closer to AF as you will drive yourself mad symptom spotting (easier said than done 🤣) . When is AF due ?

OP posts:
Misty84 · 09/01/2021 18:23

Had a shitty day, AF came so all my hopes because I was 2 days late dashed. Then got a call from hospital saying my fertility appointments all cancelled due to Covid. So basically been crying all day. Now starting 18th cycle and decided it’s just too depressing being on this group and seeing BFP’s after a much shorter time. Doesn’t help at all. So that’s it from me, over and out, good luck everyone and sorry it’s definitely nothing personal it’s just self preservation xxx

Dex1521 · 09/01/2021 17:15

@Lozza85 aw congrats that’s amazing! Hope all goes well for you and if sticks. Must admit I am slightly jealous I’d give anything just to get that BFP 🤞. Congrats to you and OH again xx

Lozza85 · 09/01/2021 17:14

Thanks @laura2093! This is our 4th cycle trying

laura2093 · 09/01/2021 17:10

Congratulations @Lozza85!!! How long have you been TTC!? Xxx
