April 2021 TTC - let's chat :)

@tuxedocat I agree that this seems very promising!! Definitely hold out until tomorrow morning at the earliest if you can and keep us updated. Best of luck! ❤️

@Onehotmess 10dpo is still quite early so I’ve got everything crossed for you! I know exactly what you mean about wanting a baby so badly at Christmas. Please don’t beat yourself up either by comparing your situation to people struggling with infertility - everything is relative and you’re allowed to feel upset if things don’t go to plan! ❤️

[quote tuxedocat]@Mumofboys20122017 I see something!
@Onehotmess 🤞🏻 It’s just too early for you xx

I caved but I took an ovulation test 😂 it’s almost as dark as my peak, but I chickened out of an actual test 😂[/quote]
Ooooo that’s intriguing! Good luck 🤞

Thank you @Rudyroo I’m cautiously hopeful

Might take one tomorrow morning if I don’t chicken out 😂

Well from other posts I've read this is definitely a good sign! You have some willpower not taking a test! Do you think you will do one soon? 😬

@Rudyroo 12dpo today

Will attach a pic - top OPK is CD21 PM
Bottom is today CD26 AM but it is FMU so maybe it’s a fluke?! All my OPK have been faint since my peak. Creamy CM so not ovulating but unsure if it’s more positive cos it’s FMU. It has gotten darker since I took it this morning

@tuxedocat oooh this sounds promising! How many DPO are you?

@Mumofboys20122017 definite line there with colour, how exciting!

@Onehotmess deffo not out yet! I know what you mean about wanting a baby at Christmas, I have the same weird thing that I really want it to happen this month because of timings. My DD birthday is 3rd Jan and my DH and I always said we wanted 2 years between children, so if I fell this cycle it would be exactly 2 years. Why does this even matter?! 🙈

@Mumofboys20122017 I see something!
@Onehotmess 🤞🏻 It’s just too early for you xx

I caved but I took an ovulation test 😂 it’s almost as dark as my peak, but I chickened out of an actual test 😂

@Milly238 9 or 10dpo depending on what app to believe! I’ve got a FRER so I will TRY not to POAS tomorrow and save it for Saturday which will be 11/12 dpo . I wanted a Christmas baby :( I know that sounds a bit silly when some people can’t have babies at all. X

@Mumofboys20122017 ohhh wow! That looks like a line! Good luck I hope the next one is a darker line but that doesn't look evap as it has colour! Fingers crossed! Xx

@Mumofboys20122017 oh wow I definitely see a line there! 😀 This is so exciting! Fingers crossed for a darker line soon 🤞 Are you gonna test again tomorrow or just wait for AF?

@Onehotmess how many dpo are you? Hopefully it’s still just too early for a test to tell you anything!

yeah! Definitely a line! I can’t see a line in mine this morning. More AF cramps so thinking probably just AF and I’m noticing more!

You guys are putting that little nagging devil on my shoulder to test tomorrow or Friday now 😂

@Puppymamababymama we DTD 4 days in a row, we did the night before I got my peak, so then we covered the peak and the day after 🤞🏻 It’s not always possible though with life and also it’s A LOT! 😂
It’s supposed to be good to have frequent ejaculation to ensure the sperm are in good shape or something. Whatever works for you though, they do live in the body for a few days so every other day is great going too!

@Puppymamababymama it’s so hard to resist the testing temptation! As for DTD, I personally have been making sure we do it every other day in my fertile window. I read somewhere that sperm can stay in your body for a few days so every other day should cover that period.

Saying all that if I don’t conceive again this cycle, I might try every day in my FW next cycle. I’m worried my poor DP and I won’t have the stamina! 😂

@onehotmess I definitely think I see something there! Let's hope it turns to a BFP!

@Milly238 & @Mumofboys20122017 I was so test happy last month I tested at 5 doo and I knew nothing would show up. I know I can't buy the cheapies or I'll just test everyday 😬

@tuxedocat best of luck this weekend to you idk how you have the strength to not test 😂

My fertile window starts Saturday do you ladies find it better to DTD everyday in fertile window or every other day?

@Mumofboys20122017 ooo fx the faint line you see progresses into something more visible the next time you test and you get your BFP! 🤞 I know exactly what you mean about not being able to resist using the cheapies. I think I’m gonna test daily now using them and maybe use up one of my FRERs next week when my period is due. I’m such a nightmare why do I do this to myself? 😂

@Onehotmess I can see that shadow of a line clearly! How exciting!

@tuxedocat best of luck for the weekend - I wish I was as patient as you are!

@Mumofboys20122017 I have been tempted but not sure I would believe it til my period is due 😂

@Onehotmess I can for sure see a shadow!

I’m having very AF type cramps which is probably 4 ish days early than I would expect to get them so who knows! I’m 8/9dpo

@Mumofboys20122017 I had the shadow too 😂😂

@Mumofboys20122017 thanks lovely, probably Saturday if things look good. You never know bout the faint line, worth trying tomorrow or Friday to see if it becomes anything, 🤞🏻🤞🏻 It does!

It’s weird isn’t it 😂 what the TWW makes you think! I’m exhausted today, but I’m thinking it’s cos I woke up early cos of my neck.
