April 2021 TTC - let's chat :)

@Timeandtidal yes I was due it last weekend but what with the pain I had and going to EPU I cancelled it! I’ve had my first dose and I know the second dose is supposed to cover you for longer but I don’t want to take any risks in the first trimester! All the pregnant ladies I had seen or read had their first or second dose whilst in the 2nd trimester! If I was in 2nd trimester I would have had it but this is the key time baby develops so for me I would rather wait! My GP said I would have to have first dose again and then have 2nd one but not sure when I can do that! I might wait until after baby is here 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Puppymamababymama this sounds like congratulations are due! I hope you get a strong line soon. Trust Amazon to cancel just when you really need them!

@Tryingandhopeful Am I right thinking you mentioned about being due for your second Pfizer jab soon? What did you decide to do? I'm in same boat and don't know what the right thing to do is. If we wait longer than the 12 weeks might it compromise the vaccinations effectiveness? I am scared about any issues so early on in pregnancy.

I'm 14 DPO today. Got a faint positive on a pharmacy brand test yesterday and almost completely invisible line on a dollar one today. Amazon also canceled my order of FRERs for some reason so maybe I'll try my CBD tomorrow. Ugh so frustrating. Those faint lines just don't convince me. On the bright side AF is due today and she hasn't shown up yet 🤞

Hmm OPK fail - I've just remembered you're supposed to start testing with the CB digital ones on a certain day earlier in your cycle, while I've just randomly been starting to test a couple of days before expected O...that means my O date for previous cycle could have been wrong doesn't it?! Last time I only got one flashing smiley before a solid smiley the very next day which I thought was a bit strange (it was supposed to pick up 4 fertile days). I'll get there eventually, I blame sleep deprivation 🤦🏼‍♀️

@Puppymamababymama seconded on trying with the CB - I got BFPs using these at a couple of days before my expected AF with my DC, after trying with lots of cheap ones first (all negative)! Good luck ✨

@Tryingandhopeful thank you, that's a great idea! My DD loves telling me what to do so I think that should work well 😂 Hope you're feeling well x

@Onehotmess yes definitely keep the thermometer by your bed!! The key for accurate readings is to do it before you move out of bed! Lol you definitely covered the bases this weekend in case you did ovulate, but I reckon you’re going to ovulate more near CD18 especially if you have a 32day cycle!!

@tothemoonandback21 I know it’s so hard temping with little ones!! I’ve had to discard a few of my recordings as I’ve been up more than usual in the night with DS!! Could you get you DD to take your temp for you? Might be a nice way to get her involved? She may even remind you to do it if she gets in the habit 😂

@Puppymamababymama I know the CBD can pick up hcg of 10!! The early response FRERs pick up 6.5 so the CBD might detect it now! What dpo are you?

Went to 3 different stores yesterday and couldn't find any FRERs, I picked up two dollar store tests and a CBD. Used one of the dollar store ones this morning and it's super super faint like only if I hold a certain way in certain light so can't really get a pic. Ugh I'm gonna use the other dollar store one tomorrow but I'm ordering some frees online. I don't think I have anywhere near enough hcg for the CBD yet if I'm getting such faint lines.

@Onehotmess I'm sorry I can't help with the OPKs as I use the digital CB ones (so busy with children I feel like I don't have the mental capacity to interpret the lines!) but I feel you on the forgetting to temp thing... this is my first time BBT and either I forget or my DD pulls me out of bed before I get a chance! 🙈 I also have a 32 day cycle with app predicting ovulation on day 18, keen to use the temping to make sure that's right this month. Well done for covering your bases with the BDing!

@Tryingandhopeful I keep forgetting to do my temp 😵 I’ll move the thermometer to my bedside table hopefully that will remind me! I will keep going daily with the OPKs then. I DTD Friday Saturday and Tuesday so hopefully have the bases covered just in case 😂Thanks for the advice! X

@Onehotmess not necessarily!! I had a few dark but not positive OPKs mid cycle and then faded again! A week or so later I got my positive one. I have long cycles like you! Keep testing but try not to miss a day! Are you temping as well? You would know if you have ovulated if you’re temping too!

@Timeandtidal thank you hun x

@Puppymamababymama I can see a faint line too! 💜

congratulations @amyannx too! 💛

I did OPk on Saturday and it was negative but fairly dark. The next one I did was Monday and it was really faint and (I had stretchy clear cm) again tues and weds very faint (almost not there!) Sat would be CD 12 of ave 32 day cycle. My app predicts ov on CD 18! Could I have ov’d early and so missed the positive OPK as I didn’t do one on sun?! 🤪

@Puppymamababymama I can see lines for sure! ❤️

Ah thanks everyone! I could swear I saw the line and I'm glad someone else sees it too!

@Tryingandhopeful I used a dollar store test today and it was my last one. I'm going to try and grab some FRERs today on my way home from work!

@Tryingandhopeful thank you X

Aww yay congratulations @amyannx 🎉💕

@Puppymamababymama I can definitely see a line too!!!! So exciting!!! Have you got more tests for the morning? Which test did you use today?

@Puppymamababymama I see it I see it!! Good luck with your next test, looking very promising! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Puppymamababymama I feel like I can see a very faint line! This is how mine was yesterday and it was clearer today so maybe test again tomorrow, but I feel I can see a line, fingers crossed for you x

Alright ladies I just took a test. Today is 13 DPO and I definitely see a light pink line!! Can't believe it I'm shaking! Please tell me if I'm losing my mind or not! It's the same test I just took two pictures 😅

@tothemoonandback21 thank you, I'm in shock still, just anxious as it's so early x

@amyannx well that's as clear as day!Congratulations!!! 💖

@Mumofboys20122017 thank you, still can't believe it x
