I'm out - BFN this am. Just waiting for AF to arrive now. Definitely, adding a ferti-lily and some more vits. to our next cycle.

@WrongendoftheSTIX @Alice4563 @mumtoone2019 @Bee44 thank you so much everyone I can’t actually believe it! After trying for 18 months it feels very unbelievable! I did a very detailed dpo diary this month if this would benefit anyone?? My fingers are crossed for you all xx

Bee44 · 24/02/2021 22:48

@ACMJ wow that's amazing, I'm so pleased for you!!

mumtoone2019 · 24/02/2021 22:36

[quote Alice4563]@mumtoone2019 I think AF is next Tuesday but my cycles have been a bit weird. I dread to think how many pregnancy tests I’ve got through including previous pregnancies. Think I need to go on some pee on a stick type AA meeting[/quote]
@Alice4563 'pee stick AA meeting' šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ its so hard to resist the urge though haha

Alice4563 · 24/02/2021 21:47

@ACMJ wow huge congrats!! I’ve not heard of anyone getting false positives except for the evap lines on some of the tests but definitely doesn’t apply to the digital so think you’re good!

WrongendoftheSTIX · 24/02/2021 21:26

Wow! @ACMJ as far as I know you have to have lots of pregnancy hormones to get a 'pregnant' on a CB Digital. I'd say it's pretty conclusive especially if you did it in the afternoon!
Congratulations!

ACMJ · 24/02/2021 20:56

Well I got this blinder this evening 😯😯😯 anyone know how reliable these digital tests are?! In total shock...

TWW! Lets keep eachother sane
mumtoone2019 · 24/02/2021 10:48

Morning @Alice4563 . Fingers crossed for youšŸ¤žšŸ» deffo not crazy i have done 2 early tests so far both BFN. It's so difficult to keep positive but we will get there in the end. When is AF Due?x

OP posts:
Alice4563 · 24/02/2021 09:47

Morning :) I am going slightly crazy with impatience today haha...keep staring at my Flo app calendar to check the date from ovulation in the hope that time might magically move forward..and also driving my husband round the bend Blush. Last night he said ā€˜I really hope you’re pregnant’ and I thought that was mega sweet till he said ā€˜so you stop banging on about it!’

Sorry to hear about the BFNs so far but there’s definitely still hope until AF arrives. I did one of the cheap one step tests this morning at 8dpo because I’m crazy...

WrongendoftheSTIX · 24/02/2021 09:41

My BBT dropped again today. It's dropped 3 days in a row. I now have backache and cramps so I'm justing waiting for AF to arrive. Not due until Sat BUT I feel like this could be a 26 day cycle. I ov day 12 so think it will arrive tomorrow tbh.

mumtoone2019 · 24/02/2021 07:54

Morning everyone! How are we all feeling today?

My symptoms are starting to ease although i felt really sock last night. AF due tomorrow and i feel nervous for some reasonšŸ˜‚ probably because i know i will he disappointed when she arrives.

ottie27 · 24/02/2021 07:36

@Arrierttyclock me too sadly - BFN at 10dpo. But that’s still earlyish so there’s still a chance until AF actually arrived!

I’m currently trying to convince myself that, as I felt ovulation pain in the evening, I’m only actually 9dpo - I want that extra day!

Arrierttyclock · 24/02/2021 06:54

BFN at 10 DPO. So think I'm out this month. AF technically supposed to start yesterday but think I'm out of whack as itl be y first proper one off the pill

TryingToNotTry · 23/02/2021 09:35

@Alice4563 symptom spotting is not nice at all! I am truly sorry to hear about your loss, I know it could not have been easy. I hope that this cycle things norm a bit, who knows, maybe it's your lucky one Wink.

It's nice to know that a lack of symptoms does not mean we are out :-). That should make me feel better but it actually makes me even more excitable lol.

I'm sure your excited for your FRER delivery! I am so tempted, but trying to hold out...

Alice4563 · 23/02/2021 09:24

@TryingToNotTry Fingers crossed for you! It drives you crazy symptom spotting doesn't it, if only there was a way of knowing right away as the TWW every month is so rough! I can accept the BFNs but the not knowing is the tough bit...for an impatient soul like me anyway Grin

When I was pregnant with DD I think it was the one cycle I had zero symptoms (until 7 weeks...then they came in abundance)...but then had lots from the start with my second pregnancy so think it can go either way!

TryingToNotTry · 23/02/2021 07:47

Hi everyone, it's so lovely to read all of your messages as I surely can commiserate. I am at about 8dpo today and have tested daily since 6dpo using cheapies Grin, all bfn of course.

I have no remarkable symptoms though I am surely looking for them. Last time I was pregnant I had extremely sore boobs and implantation bleeding, but sadly it was a chemical at 4 weeks. Only symptoms this time around are lots of gas cramps and stomach making sounds even when I am not hungry which are unusual for me. Also, I feel extremely hungry all the time and when I eat, feel extremely bloated. Whilst unusual, these are also not so noteworthy and do not at all mimic my symptoms from a few months back, so honestly thinking this is not my month. AF due in three/four days depending on Flo/Clue.

My rhr is acting funny though, it started to trend down (73 to 72 to 71 over last three days) which always signifies the beginning of my AF. However, this morning it shot back up to 73. Other threads have found a link between rhr and being pregnant, so this is the only real difference for me. Time will tell I suppose. I have two FRER and a digital but will try to hold on for the next three days.

Wishing us all babydust Daffodil!

WrongendoftheSTIX · 23/02/2021 07:23

10dpo this morning and my BBT is still dropping so guess that's why I've had no symptoms.

Alice4563 · 23/02/2021 07:00

@mumtoone2019 sorry to hear about the BFNs so far but if AF isn’t here yet there’s still a chance! I think you implant from day 6 to day 12 past ovulation so it’s quite a range.

I had a busy work day yesterday which distracted me but woken up thinking about it all again! My FRER delivery arrives tomorrow so sure I’ll probably cave and test at 8DPO!

Arrierttyclock · 23/02/2021 06:52

@Somatronic got everything crossed for you lovely x

@Bee44 I'm back in work today and I've also got some FRERs coming- 4 in total from Amazon so my plan was to test tonight, Wednesday, DH is away Thursday so was gunna skip that then Friday and Saturday..... what is wrong with me

I've woken up with cramping on my left side. It's strange it dosent feel like my normal period cramps as I'm usually bedridden with those. I'm 9 DPO today. Hoping it's a good sign but I don't "feel" pregnant today if you get me.

I keep telling myself this time next week I'll know but that seems so far off! I'm also trying to sleep as much as possible atm because I'm petrified about the lack of sleep šŸ˜‚

Bee44 · 22/02/2021 17:36

@Arrierttyclock it feels like such a long way away! Luckily work will keep me busy so I'm hoping I don't get any urges to test šŸ˜‚ hoping to test on Saturday and then every morning after that until AF arrives. Trying so hard to remember what AF symptoms I had last month and I'm sure I started with cramps a few days before so I'll be looking out for them coming soon (or not hopefully!) I've got a box full of IC's so at least I won't feel too bad if they're wasted from Saturday.

Somatronic · 22/02/2021 17:33

Hi All.

8DPO I think. 6th month trying. First month on Clomid.

I have sort of convinced myself that I'll never get pregnant due to various medical issues but I have been having some funny twinges this month so who knows.

I'll try to hold off testing til Friday.

Arrierttyclock · 22/02/2021 17:16

@Fifi1086 that bloody flashing smiley haunted me šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ it's like a month of torture I feel like I'm wishing my life away for a certain date that never comes šŸ˜‚ I'm going to test on Wednesday because I have zero self control! Omg the emotions!! I cried on Saturday because my husband wouldn't roll dough with me. Then I cried last night because I didn't want him to die!! Wtf! I'm an emotional person but this is OTT!

@ottie27 ah what are the chances! When will you be testing??

@Bee44 ah that's not too far! Will you be testing before or waiting to see if AF makes an appearance?
Xx
