I caved 🙈 so weak!!!
Faint line, does actually look more in person. Problem is I think I'm gonna keep it in and not tell my partner until we text hopefully after AF is late. I think it will be added pressure if I do, fingers crossed this one sticks.
Or is that terrible to keep it in?! [/quote]
*test not text

Hey

Oh no why!!
Still a bit pants. Done a couple of tests and had really faint lines but not sure if it's just me seeing them :(

I was so tempted to buy more tests but then thought I'd be in the same situation trying to analyse lines. Just guna stick with the clear blue early test on Saturday luckily I only have one. I'm losing hope because I have all my classic pms symptoms :-( feeling sad because I felt we really tried hard this month but maybe trying hard isn't the problem, just glad to have my hycosy booked in July. Hope your faint lines turn in to a BFP keep us posted x

Hey ladies, Mind if I join? Doing the 2WW its painful. I’m 9 days off AF. Have quiet abit of CM

Welcome!! Let's share our pain together! I'm literally counting my life away...

[quote jenxpenx]@SBeeches ooo lovely area, bet it was fab. We're going near Penzance so right near the tip lands end. So excited to get away and not constantly think about TTC. Honestly I'm driving myself a bit wild.
Yes you're so right it really does breed negatively doesn't it. I've seen people on threads where their cycles are so much shorter and I'm so jealous 🤣 I actually thought I had quite a short cycle (26-27days), but I've seen people say they were 10 DPO & AF flow due this Friday 😳! Mines due 8th of July.
We've got such a long wait, it's killing me! 🙈🙈🙈[/quote]
Hope you have a lovely time :-) my AF is due on 7th July so we'll be going through the same motions! I've decided I'm going to do a clear blue early detection test this Saturday as I'm meeting friends in Central London and another friend is staying over with us this weekend - want to know whether or not I can have a few drinks with them. Saturday will be 5 days before my period. I'm losing hope to be honest, my resting heart rate on the fitbit app hasn't changed much and Im feeling the classic pre period symptoms (deep sleep, heavy head, sore boobs). Have you decided what you're going to do?

SBeeches · 30/06/2021 11:32

That wasn't a clear pic, hopefully this is better

SBeeches · 30/06/2021 11:28

@Lebe14

Hey! Finally 9DPO today so thought I'd test with a FRER with FMU. Stark white BFN. AF is due around Saturday, according to my app and usual LP. Will test again on Friday at 11DPO or just wait until Saturday and see what happens x

Don't count yourself out just yet I've read plenty of experiences of people getting negatives followed BFP later than this. Someone posted this which I found really interesting - if it only implants 8-9DPO then it takes a bit longer for HCG to build up enough to be picked up by a urine test..

jenxpenx · 29/06/2021 22:56

@SBeeches also note on tests, I did about probably 15 in three days before I had my chemical pregnancy last month. Clear blue digital showed up 1-2 weeks pregnant two days before AF, and yeah the first response ones were the clearest in terms of lines. Also the cheapo Superdrug ones too surprisingly!

@jenxpenx

Hey ladies, hope it’s okay for me to join. I’m 26 and in month 2 of TTC after a chemical in month 1 unfortunately. 9-10 DPO and after testing two days before AF and my chemical pregnancy last month I’m really nervous to test early this month but bloody hell the wait is killing me!!! Me and my partner have said we’d wait until after AF is due but that’s another 9-10 days. Luckily we’re off to Cornwall on holiday on Saturday so that’s a distraction but seriously spend most my time looking through all these threads 🤦🏼‍♀️. What do you think, should I cave or stay strong and wait it out?

Oooh Cornwall sounds like a dream, I was in Bude not too long ago! From reading endless threads on here on early testing I think it has the potential to drive you mad and become toxic because if its negative you feel sad but then wonder whether you tested too early, then begins the chain testing and each time is a blow. Not guna lie I use clear blue early detection most months but only test 5 days before my period at the earliest.. I know digital tests are not as sensitive but I don't want to buy my first FRER. Wait it out with me we can do it, Im just behind you at 7DPO :-)

@SBeeches I'm only 28 so I'd still expect some. I'm going to try evening primrose next month alongside the preseed lube too ☺️ thank you!

Trinxsy · 29/06/2021 19:38

Popping back in again at 5dpo now...CM driving me crazy. Had absolutely loads for about 3 days, went dry, got more EWCM and now there'd absolutely loads of it again. It's been going for about 9 days now!! Confused 😕

SBeeches · 29/06/2021 14:33

@BritInNZ

AF due a week today and starting to get my usual PMS symptoms, no surprise there (still hurting nonetheless).

I have a question - does everyone here get EWCM? I don't and now I'm wondering whether that might be contributing to me struggling to get pregnant. I've read on Google it's not always EW, can be watery, but wanting to know what everyone else experiences. I do notice more CM which is what I'd consider a bit more watery around time of ovulation but I don't know if that's 'fertile' CM?

I forgot to add - have you tried using fertility lube? I read that there is naturally more mucus closer to your cervix area so sperm can sometimes do with a boost there with some lube - apparently the vagina is the place most sperm die as its a hostile environment, obviously in an ideal situation there's loads of cervial mucus in the vag but sometimes there isn't!

@SBeeches

Does anyone else use a fitbit? I have been obsessing over my resting heart rate and praying it goes up but it hasn't :( I read on other posts that lots of people notice an increase as the first sign before their BFP. Even though I'm only 7dpo I'm stressing myself out over it already, surprised that hasn't brought it up in itself 😂

I don't have Fitbit but a have Huawei watch and I haven't seen a pattern. Other than last cycle I got really confused as my RHR dropped by 10bpm for the entirety of the LP!

Hey! I think I only have the EWCM for one day and even then it's not very much. I think it depends on a number of factors, I'm 33 so I know my fertile CM window is a lot shorter compared to my 20s. It's also apparently affected by how hydrated you are too..
