Here we go again girls! 💕 Wishing you all so much baby dust for this cycle! 👶🏼
CD4 for me today, cycle #60000000 at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ TTC bubs #2 since Jan 2020.
2 miscarriages, umpteen national lockdowns, at least a stone heavier 🙄 Let's do this 💪❤️

@MgW1 to be honest I don't have a clue I'm guessing I'm 10 based on a bit of pain I had that felt like it could be ovulation. This is my third cycle and I've been clockwork at 24 days since my implant came out sometime in 2019. The first 2 cycles of TTC my cycles were 27 days so I don't know when AF is due tbh. Today is CD25.

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I know I'm not out until AF but I'm not getting my hopes up this month and it's ok. Me and DH had a good chat during the fertile week about how all this was making us feel and the pressures (he felt the pressure to perform and I felt bad that he felt that way -despite him reassuring me that it is what he wants. He was also worried that I would leave him if it turns out his swimmers are impaired. I'm just thinking IF it's meant to be it will happen and WHEN it's meant to be it will happen 🙂

@PeanuttyButter thanks for the reco! I've not watched that one - will have to check it out.
Really don't trust those ic they are SO unreliable! At 10dpo you are def still in the running! Keeping fingers crossed!xx

@PeanuttyButter
So are you 9dpo? X

PeanuttyButter · 20/02/2021 20:11

@MgW1 Sorry to hear about the MC, can't even imagine how that feels, will send positive thoughts your way.

MgW1 · 20/02/2021 20:08

@PeanuttyButter
I thought i am roughly 19 dpo! However i think I ovulated approx 4 days late ... such an anxious time, i have had 2 previous mc's. If i hadnt had them i would probably be feeling cautiously excited about now xx

@MgW1 I don't know but I'm sure it's stronger than the rest of the day for me as I drink so much bloody tea and water all day! Good tip about avoiding post-vits though! 🤣 x

PeanuttyButter · 20/02/2021 20:02

@MgW1 fingers crossed, hopefully in a few days it will be as bold as can be. How many dpo are you now?

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking have you tried Virgin river? Love that such an easy going feel good series.

Currently 10dpo and BFN on ic. Don't have any FRER in the house as trying not to waste money. Can always prime one if I'm late or get a squinter but I'm not hopeful this month as I've said before. Only DTD twice around my fertile week, and no positive opk. One of the times we did it I'm sure it was too late too. But we carry on

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Do you think it makes much dofference ? I normally have a hot choc in bed and notmally bursting for the loo when i get up but it never looks particularly concentrated. I dont feel preg either 🤪 anyway dont do a frer after vitamins , harder to read test.
We have been watching Queen of the south , its been good. Its easy to watch x

@MgW1 yes it's all about distraction 🤪 What series are you binging on atm? I've just done brigerton, firefly lane, and still soldiering on with This is us on Prime 💜 (not all today I should add 🤣)
We went for a long walk somewhere new today in the sunshine and I felt normal and not consumed with ttc for once! It was lovely! So pleased spring seems to be on her way 🙏
Try a fmu next time you test, it might surprise you!
I'm not feeling pregs at all this evening so not feeling hopeful but know it ain't over till it's over!xx

@MgW1 oh yes what is it that makes pee so goddamn fluorescent?! Are you using FRERs to test? Whilst you’re still getting a line and no AF, that’s seriously hopeful! 🤗🤞💜

MgW1 · 20/02/2021 17:23

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Tested yesterday Fmu and then again this afternoon, it might be a tad darker cant really tell but becauae i had my vitamin this a.m that makes my urine yellow it coloured the background of the test from white to yellowy xx

@MgW1 aww super frustrating. I know I’d do exactly the same though. In fact, I’ve already just order another pack of FRER so I can test tomorrow and Monday! 😬🤪 Keeping fingers tightly crossed for us both!xx

OP posts:
MgW1 · 20/02/2021 17:16

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Same as yesterday! Wish i had not bothered.xx

bubblegeek22 · 20/02/2021 16:55

Thank you @BubsNumber2inTheMaking

AF not due til 25th so I guess this is what I get for testing so early!!
Think I will do one more test tomorrow and if it's negative I will accept it and wait for AFs arrival. If it's positive then I will be just as clueless 🤦 such a rollercoaster of a time!

@bubblegeek22 thanks for your message. I hope you’re right! Sorry to hear you think you might have had a chemical 😞 SUCH an emotional rollercoaster. I feel the same though - if it’s right, it will stick. If it doesn’t then I’d rather that happens as early as poss! Sending strength 💪 When is AF due? Has she reared her head yet?xx

@MgW1 and????? 🤞🤞🤞🤞xx

MgW1 · 20/02/2021 16:20

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Well obviously i have tested again 🙈

bubblegeek22 · 20/02/2021 12:16

Thank you ladies.
@BubsNumber2inTheMaking just because last time you tested pos at 10DPO doesn't mean you will again, might be slightly later on this time!

@Clapham4 no symptoms really just lower back ache which I usually get before AF.

Well after my squinter yesterday, BFN on the same brand today!! Not even a smidge of a line.
Think I am out this month and maybe just had a very early chemical! Feeling rather sad but if it couldn't stick I would rather it happens now than much further down the line.

Best of luck to all testing in the next few days there seems to be a few around the same time!

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 20/02/2021 11:29

@MgW1 that's very true! I guess the only reliable negative is when AF shows up! Really hope she bloody doesn't though... 😒
Yes, I'm saying I'll wait until Tuesday to test again...knowing full well I'll probably test tomorrow or Monday! 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

@Clapham4 thanks for your message. And you're definitely not out yet! I've never had that many symptoms in early pregnancy, definitely not sore boobs or nausea or anything like that until more like 5/6weeks. Cramping and dizziness are my only tell tale symptoms and even those have tended to be very mild. I do know what you mean about testing though. I was talking to hubby this morning saying I wanted to just do a test each morning for the next couple of days because that is somehow less disappointing then waiting longer to test and allowing the anticipation and hope to build up. I don't bother with any tests other than FRER these days though and they are fairly pricey! Anyway, keeping fingers crossed for you xx

Clapham4 · 20/02/2021 10:07

All the talk of testing and my tests are arriving today 😅

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking sorry for the BFN, but still soooo early x

@TolkiensFallow have you decided when to test??x

@MgW1 how are you feeling?? x

I’m 10 or 11dpo today, but only have my usual
PMS symptoms so I already feel I’m out, gutted. But I’d like to test anyways and just get the disappointment over and done with rather than waiting until AF if that makes sense? Having a mental breakdown this weekend works much better for me than mid next week when I’m working 😂

MgW1 · 20/02/2021 09:41

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I have ordered some more but want to wait for a few days now unless Af shows up so might wait til Wednesday. Well you know my story , just cos last time you tested positive at 10 dpo doesnt mean it will happen so early again! Implantation commonly happens between 8 - 10 , anything before has increased chance of mc - done a lot of reading 🤣 are you going to test mon / tues? Xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 20/02/2021 09:32

@MgW1 in truth I'm a bit down today but I'm going to pull myself together now and be busy. Too much time alone just makes me depressed and all consumed by ttc!
How are you doing? I've just sent the one step ov tests back too. They are all rubbish! Even the control line was barely visible! I used the one step preg ones before Xmas and they were still only a squinter when the FRER was as bold as you can get! Complete rubbish. Will you do anymore FRER tests?x
