I meant TWW ;)

Tinkerbell098 · 09/11/2021 11:49

Hi everyone, I'm new here. I have been trying for over a year now (i'm over 36) with no luck. Thought it would help me to join a forum to hear from others in a similar situation to me and to keep me sane during this TTW.

Sorry I was in a meeting and writing at the same time. What I meant is that the Frer is as strong as I remember it ever getting when I was pregnant last time, as are the strips.

Rachipops · 09/11/2021 11:46

[quote winkles23]@Ballygowenwater yeah I know they are positive but after last month's chemical, I just want to see some progression.

@Rachipops I think if I had a FRER to compare I might feel a bit better. I've ordered some now which are due to arrive tomorrow so I'll do one tomorrow and one the following day and hopefully they will have some progression.

Thanks x [/quote]

@winkles23

I'm freaking myself out by constantly testing. I'm expecting to see progression on the internet cheapies but I can't seem to see any! 12dpo today, I'll attach a pic of the progression and also the FRER I took just now (SMU, 4.5 hour hold)

Sorry to be a pain :( I'm naturally a stressy person so I don't want to keep bringing it up with hubby

Try not to stress. Those cheapies might just not get any darker. Or you need a couple more days.. doesn't hcg double every 2 days or am I plucking that out of no where?

Try a different brand maybe? Premom are pretty clear and affordable. You can get them quickly on Amazon prime. How does the FRER compare? X

Ballygowenwater · 09/11/2021 11:25

Those are all pretty obviously positive. The stick one is really clear.

@mightbeyesmightbeno I wish I could just enjoy it but I feel like I'm just waiting for the test to turn into a bfn. I think it's because of last month's chemical. Did an internet cheapie this morning and it's there but slightly lighter than last night but I've also read that this can be the case for some women. Hate being such an over thinker!

How are you keeping up?

Flibbyjibby · 09/11/2021 08:07

Got really bad cramping today but fairly certain it is just trapped wind as only 3/4dpo! This is cycle 1 trying for no.2 and I told myself I wouldn’t get obsessive about it like I did last time! (Oops)

Peonies94 · 09/11/2021 07:55

@mightbeyesmightbeno those are the best days to cover there though! Yeah it hasn’t been a massive success, but I’m trying 😂! It is hard to keep up with it, with busy lives!

@xoxo321 I can’t wait! I tested so much last month, so I am going to try and stop that and hold off until 10DPO but I’ve got cheapies so I’ll probably be testing by then! I’m also out on the weekend after next, so I’ll definitely test by 12DPO, so that I know if to avoid alcohol!

mightbeyesmightbeno · 09/11/2021 07:03

@winkles23

Thanks all! Done another test this morning which is slightly darker (well I've done two extra tests this morning lol! Clearblue is very slightly darker but internet cheapie is noticeably darker) x
Is it sinking in yet?
mightbeyesmightbeno · 09/11/2021 07:02

@mrsS21

Hi all :) I’m O tomorrow, so almost in our tww! We’re trying for our second, been doing smep this cycle and feeling really excited about it. Hopefully this is our month. Our little one is 2 1/2, so really excited to bring a sibling along soon hopefully!
Really similar then with our seconds / ages. Well done for smep ... (and you @Peonies94 ), that's real commitment! My poor DH doesn't know what's hit him this month and couldn't keep up with my demand so we DTD 1&2days before O then day of O and we'll just have to hope for the best! CD18 for me now and usually I have 28 ish day cycles so 10 more days to wait!

Absolutely! I also symptom spot like crazy! So is today your predicted ovulation day? Or yesterday? Are you planning to test or just wait and see if AF comes?x

Ahh you never know! It only takes once! Did you just do the 4 days before was it? .. I’be convinced myself irs not happening/going to take ages, but I also get so excited during TWW! Such mixed feelings

@xoxo321 absolutely! Will be good to have someone in the same place as me! Goodluck!

Peonies94 · 08/11/2021 21:59

@mrsS21 I’m also trying SMEP for the second month, although due to my long cycles I sometimes don’t manage it and do a day and skip 2, but I have covered either side of my positive OPK so 🤞! Will carry on with every other day for another few times, just incase, as I’m not convinced I actually ovulated!

Ah @xoxo321 33 is still young! That's the age I was when I conceived my daughter and I still feel like that was a good age! Unless you're wanting 10... I think you'll be ok!
