Hi ladies, I was on lots of TTC trains on here but the longer times gone it, it was too painful. I did a test today 9dpo (I know, far too impatient!) and it's come up with a faint line and within the time period. Not had a whiff of a line but I know these FRERs can throw up evaps. What are your thoughts please? I have no more! 🤦🏻‍♀️
Will def retest in a couple of days x

Thank you!!

So sorry to hear about your struggles @JellyTots2021 @SuperstitiousMagpie, it can absolutely be a gut wrenching journey sometimes you have my sympathy, sorry I posted without reading before!

Sending love and baby dust to everyone else testing soon xx

JellyTots2021 · 14/10/2021 20:38

Defo a line there, congratulations!

JK739 · 14/10/2021 20:08

Hi everyone

Im about 12DPO. I thought I was out this month as we only managed to DTD 4 days before and 2 days after I THOUGHT I ovulated but... I'm not making this up right?!

I can't believe it!!

@JellyTots2021 it really is tough. Yes, maybe take some time off and just focus on doing the deed when you want to instead of scheduling (some people have actually said it's helped them get their bfp!). I may follow suit after next cycle if I'm unsuccessful. This period has been extra tough. I've been bleeding quite heavily and it's left me with next to no energy. I'm coming towards the end of it now though so it's eased up quite a bit. Hoping yours isn't too bad but I'm sure the junk food will help!

@SuperstitiousMagpie aww I'm sorry to hear that, love. I've just gone through the same :(
Glad to hear you're being looked after Thanks

@SuperstitiousMagpie sending you a big hug.

@winkles23 have you been able to rest this period? Mine is due soon so I stocked up on the junk food today.

SuperstitiousMagpie · 10/10/2021 18:35

@winkles23 think I'm having yet another chemical, feeling pretty rotten. Just got home to a bath already drawn and flowers in the bathroom, so I'm being well cared for, just a bit sad.

JellyTots2021 · 10/10/2021 10:35

@winkles23

This cycle was extra tough and think I'm going to take a couple of months off, TTC is really not enjoyable.

How are you all keeping up? Coming towards the end of my period now, it's been a pretty rough one and I've had next to no energy. Just want it to hurry up and finish now so I can move onto the next cycle!

@SuperstitiousMagpie Wednesday or Thursday

SuperstitiousMagpie · 07/10/2021 12:26

@JellyTots2021 oh that's rubbish! When is AF due?

WaitingForEgg · 07/10/2021 10:55

I got my positive opk on the first so think I ovulated either the second or third. So I’m most likely 4/5 days PO. I don’t get many ovulation symptoms and am unconvinced my CM etc changes, but I can’t be sure. I have long ish cycles though so not due in until the 16th. I feel like every month just drags so much

JellyTots2021 · 07/10/2021 09:23

Took FRER, BFN.

JellyTots2021 · 06/10/2021 12:07

@winkles23 sorry to hear this, sending big hugs x

BoyMum18 · 06/10/2021 11:07

@winkles23

Little not so great update: I think I'm going through a chemical pregnancy atm unfortunately. So just going to ride this one out and try again next cycle. Going to keep my fingers crossed for the rest of you xx
So sorry to hear! :( I'm due to test on 18th but most likely won't be positive as we only managed to try once during fertile window. Who's knows! Only takes one time right?
Mummybearto3bg · 06/10/2021 10:25

@winkles23 sorry to hear that.
Pretty sure I'm out. Negative frer this morning, period due on sun/Mon so I'm sure I'm out now too. Keep going Confused

@Mummybearto3bg

Good luck *@winkles23* *@SuperstitiousMagpie* *@BoyMum18* :)
Thank you! Caved and POAS this morning - I think it's a very faint positive (I'm 8dpo so amazed to see anything). Feeling every single emotion going I think!
JellyTots2021 · 05/10/2021 11:03

@HRHXO sorry to hear that Sad sending you good wishes for next cycle.

I know it's too early, AF not due until next week Tuesday, but early testing kits were on special offer so of course I went for it and got BFN.

Finding this TWW a bit too much. This is the first and last cycle that I let myself symptom spot as the past few days have been so stressful no doubt I've given myself symptoms 😅

HRHXO · 05/10/2021 07:55

@JellyTots2021 ah I was the same but decided to test this morning using frer fmu but bfn not even a sniff of a line to see so pretty gutted. Af due Friday or Saturday but I think I'm probably out now...

JellyTots2021 · 04/10/2021 22:36

@HRHXO climbing the walls! Got to wait until Wednesday to early test and it seems ages away!

I heard the jab makes the cycle a bit later.

HRHXO · 04/10/2021 21:07

Hi all, how are we this evening? I think I'm going mad! Since last week I've been having some symptoms and as we haven't been trying this month I hadn't even considered pregnancy but wheb OH mentioned it I obviously thought it could be the case so hopped back on my apps. I logged some symptoms on Ovia and my period was originally predicted for 9th October but since I logged my symptoms my AF due date is the same but now Ovia thinks I'm at peak fertility?! I did a cheap OPK the other day but it was negative. Wondering if the Covid jab has effected my cycle?? I thought I was about 10 or 11 dpo but now I have no idea and feel disheartened...
