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 💪❤️

@organised5
I got some boots ones on offer and clearblue and just tested once fmu , i cant manage a 4 hr afternoon hold! Messed around with cheap strips in the best , defo worth paying for better ones. Xx

@MgW1 no I didn't get anything close to a peak. First month using them and I was just doing once a day in the evening as that happened to be the time of day I did the first one.

Now I've also discovered I have a potential 6 day window as to what counts as first day of AF as it's really light to begin with. So maybe I'm way off with dates and FW.

MgW1 · 09/02/2021 17:38

@organised5
Did you get a peak this month? X

organised5 · 09/02/2021 16:54

BFN with a Clear Blue early test that works 5 days before AF. I'm 4 days before AF and tested just now rather than waiting until FMU (I know.. 🤦🏼‍♀️).

I feel like I'm out... although I know there's still a chance.

Also I could have my dates way off if the first 6 days of AF actually count as spotting rather than AF. So yeah. Not feeling confident about this month.

Need to get the OPKs working next month to figure out my cycle, and up the BD!

RAA852021 · 09/02/2021 16:51

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking Yay! I'm so happy that all that work stress is over for you :)

AF is due today, took a rapid test yesterday and BFN. We missed our window this month with DS being away and only DTD once in the FW so i think AF will turn up soon. But its hard not to hope a bit... :)

Xxdxx2020 · 09/02/2021 14:29

@BWaiting haha! I tested shortly before I posted, about 1.45? I'll test this evening too :) thanks

BWaiting · 09/02/2021 14:05

@Xxdxx2020 when did you test? I would say it's very close. Test again in a few hours and again in the morning. Or if you're like me, I would keep testing every few hours because clearly I have a POAS problem 😂
Good luck! x

Xxdxx2020 · 09/02/2021 14:03

Hi ladies, would you class this as a positive opk? Or nearly positive? If it is nearly positive do you think my peak is coming tonight or tomorrow? I'm on cd13

@organised5
You will get result tomorrow with rapid result. I have used before and got clear line at 12dpo xx

Dogmum13 · 09/02/2021 12:26

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking congratulations 🙂 hopefully you can relax a bit more now and focus on ttc 😬

organised5 · 09/02/2021 12:25

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking OK I am glad it's not just me 😂 I was so cross I ordered some early Clear Blue ones as they were same day delivery on Prime! 🙈

@organised5 I've done exactly the same as you in the past! It's so annoying and packaging is identical! I used it anyway and got a bfp bold line on it at 12dpo so might still work!🤞🤞🤞x

Thanks ladies 😅 xxx

@MgW1 I've not used clear blue before so can't advise on evap lines I'm afraid. 8dpo is early but it could happen 🤗 Keeping fingers crossed it gets darker over the next couple of days xxx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I am so pleased , what a bloody awful stressful time for you xx
Well i think its more of an evap , only 8dpo and could see it under kitchen light this a.m only sae it in natural light on window sill so i don't know , dont know if you can get evaps on clear blues xx

bubblegeek22 · 09/02/2021 12:07

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking hooray! Congratulations you must be so relieved after all that stress. Time to relax and lots of DTD 😂😂

bubblegeek22 · 09/02/2021 12:06

@MgW1 I'm so sorry about your 14w miscarriage that must have been so terrible. Did they give you a reason?

organised5 · 09/02/2021 11:50

FML.

Used every ounce of willpower in my body to not test on Sunday or Monday, ready to use a FRER this morning (4 days before AF due) to find that what I thought was a FRER was actually a First Response Rapid Result that you can only do after your missed period and just gives your result in 45 seconds.

WHAT IS THE POINT IN THAT! And why sell them in the same packaging! Aarrgghh.

Thanks to all of you who sent kind messages. I got the job! Thank goodness for that - maternity leave is still on the cards! Better start making this baby already! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Exciting news for those of you who have got faint positives! Keeping everything crossed for you.

Baby dust to everyone 😘xx

@MgW1 yes we have decided to wait til July as that will be 18 months then as I've heard a lot of people say some of their friends have taken 18 months

bubblegeek22 · 09/02/2021 10:53

@MgW1 we are all so good at saying we will wait til AF but the call of those tests is loud 😂 whyyy do we do this to ourselves! I do hope your next one is darker so you can save a few days of obsessing!!

Tara1711 · 09/02/2021 10:51

Has anyone used a clear blue digital early response? I'm tempted to buy one!

MgW1 · 09/02/2021 10:46

@Dogmum13
Are you looking into private tests still?
Well it will be a year end of next month since
we started trying and I have had 2 mc's (14 wks &5 weeks) .... its been a bumpy road im hoping for the light at the end of the tunnel 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

MgW1 · 09/02/2021 10:43

@bubblegeek22
I wish I hadnt started testing but im om cd26 and when @Tara1711 did a test I thought id do one too! I dont know whether evap or the start of something as so faint so will do another and yes prob tomorrow now , looks like another cycle of driving myself insane xx

Fifi1086 · 09/02/2021 10:16

Day 7 of flashing smileys today.. it's funny how you can go from loving that flashing face to wanting to punch it in the space of a few days 😂😂😂

bubblegeek22 · 09/02/2021 10:05

@Tara1711 definitely test tomorrow morning and see if you get a clearer line 🤞🤞

@Wowthisisreal sorry about AF 😞
