@Hope18 me too but there is no way I'll hold out! I know it xx

[quote Mama500]@Ladylou17 I see a line too! What level hcg do those strips test?

@Hope18 oh no I definitely think it’s too early but it’s so hard to resist and then not feel upset. What level hcg was your test? If you look on those early test box it usually says something like only 35% accurate when testing 6 days early.

Good luck@ShellUK09 and @MrsMo21

How are all the pregnant mamas doing?

Im about 9do feel totally normal and not even thought about testing. Last month and the month before I was obsessed and I didn’t like it[/quote]

@Mama500 sensitivity was 10 on those ones. I am only 9dpo though so am being too eager. Still have cramps but could just be pms. I hear about horrid evaps too so conscious it could just be that xx

Hope18 · 17/10/2021 14:14

@Ladylou17 would love to just wait now until missed AF lol.

Good luck @MrsMo21 @shelluk09 sending you lots of Baby dust for fertile window xx

@mama500 yes I think it was something as low as 30% even.. 👀 Definitely won't do that again next cycle lol.. Your doing so well not testing! Xx

ShellUK09 · 17/10/2021 12:05

@MrsMo21 good news about your positive opk, good luck. I'm at the start of DTD week as well x

@Ladylou17 and @Hope18 exciting, keeping my fingers crossed for you both. My cycles seem slightly different all the time as well and not sure what it will be like this time after early MC but will just have to go with the flow x

MrsMo21 · 17/10/2021 11:26

Hi guys I’m back…positive opk for me today so going to dtd today and tomorrow then see what happens. DH has been ill do not going to go overboard this month just give it a small go!!

@Ladylou17 looks promising!!!! Xx

Ladylou17 · 17/10/2021 10:37

[quote Hope18]@Ladylou17 definitely see a v faint line for you there.. It must be so hard not to get excited!
So difficult when cycles alternate to know when to expect AF.
I'm Praying it's a longer cycle to give me more time 🙈
Really hate being at work all week too as its all I think about!

@Fairy45 will keep you updated.. How are you doing? X[/quote]
Thanks @Fairy45 I hope so 🤞
Yes @Hope18 I'm not getting excited at all until I see a strong line I'm hoping 12dpo on Wednesday will be a good day to test. Maybe same for you too?xx

Fairy45 · 17/10/2021 09:19

@Ladylou17 that was like my first one! The next morning I did another and didn't even need to zoom in on a photo! Looks positive to me!

@Hope18 it could just still be too soon. Think I tested everyday from 9dpo and took til around 12 dpo to get anything as faint as the pic ladylou has shared. Stay positive!

Ladylou17 · 17/10/2021 09:14

@Hope18 I'm the same as you either due Wednesday or Saturday so no idea! I think I'm 9dpo as well. It's hard not to test isn't it! First thing I want to do in the morning I annoy myself!
Did a cheap test this morning I took a couple days break and got this. Don't know what to think, I'll do a FRER on Wednesday I think and try to hold out.
I've had cramps that are moderate for about 24 hours and still queasy feeling at times. Could all be in my head! Good luck all xx

Anyone 9dpo
Hope18 · 17/10/2021 07:04

@mama500
And everyone..
I caved didn't I. 😭
Last night.. Had an early detection digital with the red flashy bit on them.. Says they could pickup from 6 days early..
POAS.
Ofc.
BFN.
😔

Stupidly I know.. But I just had such sore boobs yesterday and cramps!
Just never know what my cycle is going to do either as previous cycles have been a mix of 24-28? So if it would be 24 I'd be due AF Wednesday?
😔

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 18:49

@FlyOnTheWall89 it's easy reading the statistics isn't it but I'm sure irl it's much harder as the cycles go by.. We are cycle two so far..
Do you think you'll test early or just wait for missed AF?

ShellUK09 · 16/10/2021 17:57

@Mama500 thank you, no I haven't tried conceive plus but will look into that. I've been taking the seven seas vitamins. Did an Amazon easy@home ovulation stick and it is leading towards a high already so feeling more hopeful about starting tomorrow x

@Hope18 awww yeah it is a lonely journey, that's why this place can be a real lifeline. Haha yes, we have had a break for a bit so he will be enthusiastic about DTD initially anyway! x

@FlyOnTheWall89 that's a very good attitude to have as it can consume you, it is all I have been thinking about lately and I seem to see babies and pregnant women everywhere! Wishing you all the best x

FlyOnTheWall89 · 16/10/2021 14:35

Hi guys @Hope18, all okay here. Zero pregnant feels right now. Got my static smiley a week ago today so I guess if I ovulated on the Sunday, I’m only 6DPO ish. Just trying to get on with normal life and not get too absorbed thinking about will I, won’t I.

I feel weird about the fact it’s our sixth month trying. Lots of stats say over 80% conceive naturally within 6 months. Makes me feel like there is possibly something wrong. I’ve also read average is 8 months on VitaWest website. I am completely aware for many it takes much much longer so 6 cycles isn’t much.

Reading updates everyday, just not posting much rn. Good luck everyone, hoping you all get your longed for BFPs soon XxX

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 13:14

@mama500 how early do you rekon they could pick it up? I literally today have had the odd slightest twinge but literally nothing.. Which is what makes me think its just prep for AF!
CM still cloudy etc.. But not loads of it..just now and again.
No sore boobs! No implantation bleeding..

Haha I love how your like yay half way! I said to DH this morning.. Ugh 7dpo if not more and nothing!! He's like, it's only just getting to the stage where implantation could happen, calm your farm. 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️Xx

Mama500 · 16/10/2021 13:11

@Hope18 I have the very early detection strips from the internet but I haven’t tested. I just feel totally normal! We are half way through the 2ww though woohoo

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 13:08

@FlyOnTheWall89 how are you doing xx

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 13:08

@Ladylou17 any more test? 🥰

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 13:07

Hope your ok @MrsMo21 xx

Hope18 · 16/10/2021 13:07

@shelluk09 it definitely is lonley! We looked into sperm meets egg and also said we would like to give that a go too.. DH does get nervous having to perform on say so mind you haha..

@mama500 noooo I haven't tested.. I think it's all just in my head or AF symptoms! Although I did buy an asda pregnancy test today. DH got some fancy CB with a flashing light on to say when to stop peeing and everything last month and I have one of those left but I don't think theyre early detection so alot of expense for nothing lol.. Posh sticks! 🤣 How are you doing xx

Mama500 · 16/10/2021 12:01

@ShellUK09 glad you are feeling a lot more yourself and good luck, I fell pregnant a few months after my MC. Have you tried conceive plus

@Hope18 sounds so promising have you tested?

@Ladylou17 how are you doing?

ShellUK09 · 16/10/2021 09:21

@MrsMo21 thank you, hope you are doing ok x

MrsMo21 · 16/10/2021 09:08

@ShellUK09 so nice to have you back and that you’re feeling a little bit better x

ShellUK09 · 16/10/2021 07:18

@Hope18 awww thank you 💕 it's definitely been an intense journey so far but so glad we have each other here to talk to, there's no one else I can talk to about this apart from my partner as we have been keeping our TTC journey to ourselves right now, so this chat is a great source of support. Back in the right mindset to try again so getting the ovulation kit back out, might even start DTD on CD8 to try sperm meets egg. Will be a busy week!

I'd say twinges and tugs are definitely good signs! I had those sensations after my BFP. It may be implantation and everything bedding in x

Hope18 · 15/10/2021 22:48

@shelluk09 awww so good to hear you feel your body has reset... And so lovely to have you back❤️ big hugs to you, we're all here for you and rooting for you!!

Few funny twinges today.. Few slight cramps and tug feelings.. Probably AF related.. But logged them in my app anyways. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Hope your all OK xx
