Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

@oldermam ooo sounds very promising! Are you planning to test today? I'm excited for you! Good luck x

Afternoon ladies.

Haven't had chance to catch up yet, bath is running and I'm currently holding a pee in. Oh has gone to get me a frer

Af due tomorrow. 7/8dpo I had mild cramping. 10dpo mild nausea and sore boobs on and off. Bfn on a cheapie.

Today I've woke up with horrible nausea. A Metallica taste in my mouth and my AF cramps have gone! Tender boobs too. I'm trying to not get my hopes up tbh!

After reading more into it. Turns out it's doesn't have anything that will help conceive other than it being sperm friendly rather than others! Worth a go I suppose!! Xx

@HelloNope I read before it can happen around time of AF due as well and can last for a few days. Xx

Hello everyone!! Congratulations on all the bfps! I am undergoing fertility treatment so have been a Googling alot! I wondered if anyone had used fertility lubricant such as pre sees? I've no idea how much this will be effective or if it's just a way for company's to make money lol but every little helps! 😂 xx

@Peonies94 So sorry, fingers crossed for you for your next cycle x

@TeddyBeans Definitely test again in a few days and let us know!

Thanks @TheBirdintheCave I get no symptoms during ovulation so I can only go off the positive peak OPK. I suppose I could start a day or two after counting DPO>.

@BH1926 oh no, nausea already?! That's probably a good sign though, it's great to see your line progression!
This is going to sound really stupid but I thought IB was before a positive test?

Oh no sorry @TeddyBeans and @Peonies94 😔

@HelloNope aw no hopefully it's IB and not AF 🤞🏻really good sign your test is darker though 😊 positive thoughts! keep us posted. I'm okay thank you nausea hit hard now. I was same with my DD. I tested yesterday and again today 🙈 and lines much darker today but still not trying to get hopes up too much just incase.

@Bundaberg84 im so sorry you are feeling that way. It really does get you down when you get the 'feeling' then BFN. Sending hugs ❤️
Congratulations 🎉 @Cookiedough123

@QueenBee22 I count 1dpo from the day after my ovulation pains. I felt them on Wednesday so today I am 2dpo though we dtd yesterday as well just in case. AF comes 14 days after the pains so it’s due on the 23rd.

Hi just thought I would do a little update. I'm 13DPO now and AF would be due tomorrow. Maybe once I get tomorrow out the way I will feel a little more reassured. Just thought I would show my line progression over the last few days. I have another clear blue to use tomorrow and a digital I might leave for a few more days. The first test was at 8DPO where I saw a very very faint line. Had a little bit of crampings in the evenings and keep waking up at 5am the last 3 days and can't get back to sleep. Other than that I feel fine. Congratulations to all the BFPs and sending 🌻🌻🌻 to those with AF. Sending everyone babydust x

I tested, two days overdue (according to the app, but I also think I could feel ovulation). Stark white. I was really not expecting that, I'm never late. Did nothing different this cycle. If I ovulated much later than expected, I'm out either way because we only DTD once after ovulation, and that was almost two weeks later if I remember correctly.
I'm honestly really deflated. I knew it would be difficult after an ectopic, but it's been 6 months now. I feel like it's never going to happen. Also, I was really, really convinced to be pregnant this time. Not just symptoms, but a "feeling". I feel like I'm going mad!

@HelloNope some women have spotting when AF is due so stay positive, especially with a darkening test

@HelloNope I'm on knicker watch too...it's not fun. Hopefully your bean stays sticky!

@Bundaberg84 maybe but I get quite obvious ovulation pains which was bang on CD15 and then a niggly little crampy feeling 6 days later which could have been implantation cramping 🤷‍♀️ I just don't know at the moment, it all seems like everything was right on time except AF...

When working out how many days DPO you are, do you starting counting the day after a positive peak OPK?

Pregnancy test (cheapie) still positive and the line is actually darker than previously. I will wait and see, I'm going to be checking my knickers all day now 😂

@TeddyBeans that's weird! But you might have ovulated later than you thought?

@HelloNope I'm sorry you're in that limbo! A small amount of blood isn't unusual. Maybe you can have an early reassurance scan?

Can I join? I have been lurking for a while…
Coil came out start of December, after a procedure to remove some cells. According to Flo, I ovulated on the 4th so am now apparently 7dpo didn’t notice any EWCM this month at all though. Not tracking with ovulation sticks or anything yet as just seeing how it goes. Had some cramps Tuesday, cervix is still high, creamy white discharge and my nipples have got massive… really hoping it’s our time! Not due AF til 19th/20th… hate waiting! Congratulations to every who already have their BFP’s!

@BH1926 I did retest and there was still a line, but I've woken up this morning and after I wiped I saw some blood :( only a small amount but I'm wondering if this means that it's a chemical pregnancy. It's only a small amount of blood but my period was predicted today or tomorrow so... I feel sad! I guess I just have to wait and see.

How are you doing?

@TeddyBeans Yes that could definitely be the case! Maybe leave it a few days and then test again? 😊

I'm holding onto the minor hope that my HCG is under 10mlU which (according to attached chart) is normal for up to 4 weeks...

In reality it's our first cycle TTC and I wasn't expecting to catch straight away but being in limbo just waiting sucks

@BigAlice thank you!

I’m sorry @TeddyBeans and @Peonies94 it’s so disheartening isn’t it. I just remember my doctor saying to me, even if the right egg meets the right sperm at the right time, sometimes it just doesn’t happen - for no real reason. On to the next 😊

BFN for me this morning and then AF arrived half an hour later! Which means my luteal phase has also shortened by a day!! Nevermind onto my next cycle and hopefully a short one again 🤞
