@Purple29 thanks! I'll hop over there. I'm still learning all the lingo on here. I figured it's time to be proactive about TTC since we ruled out my boyfriend being the "issue." I'll switch over to the March chat. Smile

@TryTheNight hi, it's not a private group and the more the merrier. They are a great, supportive bunch.

Ttc is so hard when people tell you to just relax, yes that's not.how it works!!! I tried for 2 years before I fell with DS. Now trying for number 2.

What worked for us was the method my fertility Dr told me to use. I've mentioned it on this group and the March group a few times.

Here is the link for the March group.

Thank you everyone!

@J90A This was month 4 of TTC for me x

TryTheNight · 21/02/2022 09:34

Hello all. Not sure how all this works, but I've been looking to join something like this for a while now and stumbled upon your group. (I figured I'd say hi versus invisibly stalking this page for support.)

I've been trying to conceive for over a year now. I'm finding it hard to talk to friends/ family about it since they always say "it will happen eventually" (which I don't find particularly helpful since they base it off nothing)... I'm hoping that all the shared positive vibes keep me from becoming completely dejected on this journey.

(If this is more of a private group, just let me know. I wouldn't want to intrude.)

J90A · 21/02/2022 08:30

@ElleBelleLou congratulations 😌 how many months ttc was this for you? Xx

MrsSamRowley · 21/02/2022 08:16

@ElleBelleLou congratulations! 🎉

ElleBelleLou · 21/02/2022 07:07

Morning everyone, I took the FRER last night on a 1.5 hour hold and the Clearblue this morning with FMU, I think I'm still in shock! I'm 11DPO today, AF due in 5 days and here's my BFP!

J90A · 20/02/2022 19:35

@ElleBelleLou sorry predict text!! I CAN see a line

J90A · 20/02/2022 19:35

@ElleBelleLou I can't see a line on all 3 of your tests. Do the FRER I'm sure it will be there 🤞it will out your out your misery too. And you can always get another for later/use the cheapies if you have more. Xx

J90A · 20/02/2022 19:33

@DancinOnTheCeiling I am so sorry to hear your news. Plenty of self care and remember we are all here for you ❤️

I am 6/7 DPO CD21 not holding out much hope. I am going to test on Tuesday 8/9dpo i know that early but have my next fertility appointment that day so thought might as well with a FRER the thing that's confusing me is they say 6 days before a missed period but if you have longer/shorter cycles your dpo will vary quite a bit 🤷‍♀️ xx

Shiny88 · 20/02/2022 19:18

@DancinOnTheCeiling I am so so sorry to hear you're experiencing a molar pregnancy. Sending you big big hugs. Try to remember to take time for yourself and to be kind to yourself. I know having to wait another 6 months is totally rubbish but try use the 6months for you and your partner to do some fun things together. We are all here for you.

@ElleBelleLou that's definitely a BFP so congratulations 🥳.

@Purple29 what's the link for the March one? I'm 6days po and 6 days to my AF is due and I'm pretty sure I'm out this month so will join in the March one 😅.

@kizzy97 I hope the test is a BFP for you my fingers are crossed 🤞🏼.

Thanks so much for your support ladies, I’m a mess 😭😭. I just typed a reply and it has disappeared, I think I’m not quite with it! @ladybuggoldfinch I looked at the Charing Cross website - thanks for that - it’s very well explained.

@ElleBelleLou those ICs look positive to me too. I think it’s normal for ICs to be very faint for ages... even in my case with my abnormally high HCG they were so so faint initially; at that point my FRER was so dark people were suggesting it might be twins. (And I’m talking clinically abnormally high HCG levels - apparently I’m at 20,000 just now - hence the molar suspicion as there’s nothing on the scan). 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you that this is your month to avoid the dreaded two year wait!

@kizzy97 it’s so difficult when you have cycles that are off, it messes it all up. I would weigh up if you find seeing a BFN more upsetting/difficult or if you find waiting/uncertainty more difficult if that makes sense xx

kizzy97 · 20/02/2022 18:00

@TheBirdintheCave you're right, I probably will, it's just the disappointment of seeing yet another BFN and if it is wondering what the heck is going on as I'm usually 28 days like clockwork and this and last cycle have been off xx

TheBirdintheCave · 20/02/2022 17:18

@kizzy97 I don’t think there’d be any harm in testing again, especially if your AF is due and doesn’t arrive :)

kizzy97 · 20/02/2022 17:16

I'm torn on whether to do another test tomorrow morning, if this cycle is a 33 dayer like last month I should be due on tomorrow, but I have no sign of af coming. Apart from sore boobs, I'm just scared of seeing another BFN

Purple29 · 20/02/2022 16:56

@DancinontheCeling I'm still keeping up with this thread even though I'm on the March one and really sorry to read your news, your head must be all over the place!!! Deffo look into support groups and really hope it's not what they think!!! Everything crossed for you and sending virtual hugs x

ElleBelleLou · 20/02/2022 16:37

@Diamondbabe I'm going to hold for a few hours and use my FRER this evening - I wish I'd gotten two to do FMU tomorrow morning too but I'd rather just know!

Diamondbabe · 20/02/2022 16:33

@ElleBelleLou I got a positive with a FRER at 9/10 days. It's not that early if you're pregnant it most likely will show. I would stop tormenting yourself and just do it but the internet cheapies are pretty conclusive I do see a line
