Making a new thread from the March group ♥️

I'm on CD 1, Cycle 11 of TTC our first 👶🏼
Had a MC in February
Ectopic last July with right tube removal
I have endometriosis (and I suspect low progesterone)

Trying to stay positive and think fresh cycle, my body probably needed this after the MC and its a fresh start ✨

Baby dust ✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨🤞🏼✨

@MissBlue93 the TWW is so hard! baby dust to you and your partner ✨

@Kitty901 I’ve never used it but from what i’ve read and heard of it people use it to help conceive. I would go ahead and try as it can boost fertility if you struggle. Wishing you luck ✨

Kitty901 · 11/04/2022 12:51

Hi Ladies, has anyone tried Angus Cactus? My cycles are quite short and so is my LP, i have read that it does help it and have ordered some however it just arrived and it is saying that it should not be used when trying to conceive so i am quite confused what to do now.

MissBlue93 · 11/04/2022 12:30

Hi can I join?? Me and my partner are TTC our first together, my third! My last AF was 25th and lasted 2 days. I think I’ve ovulated couple days ago due to my CM etc and we’ve DTD almost every day for the last week or so. Now in the TWW which is so hard 😂

cloelisa19 · 10/04/2022 18:41

Me too! Its so hard when everyone around me is having babies without even trying but i’m so happy they are, just wish it was our turn! Wish you all the best lovely ❤️ x

LuckyWithMyLot · 10/04/2022 18:36

@chloelisa19 Oh, I'm sorry. It's so shit.

Our time will come (and hopefully this cycle becomes I'm fed up of TTC!).

cloelisa19 · 10/04/2022 18:33

I completely get that! Tests are so expensive to keep on top of.. I get annoyed at myself if I test too early as it costs so much to keep doing the daily test to see if anything shows up. Definitely going to get a frer! But I didn’t get a positive on a test until I was 6 weeks, only showed on bloods, doctors were concerned so I had a internal exam and they couldn’t find anything, the pregnancy was developing else where. But days later I had a big bleed and knew it wasn’t my time 💔 But still going strong and waiting for my BFP🥰

Sabina93 · 10/04/2022 18:26

@Peachygal27
And are your nipples usually sore before af? Because this is usually one of the first signs. I'm only like 5-6 dpo so want to hold back with testing until the end of the next week
@cloelisa19 Hi, I also had a few like this on one step cheapy unfortunately they were all negative. But ive seen so many women that it turned out to be positive for them so who knows. It's best to try the frer 😊

LuckyWithMyLot · 10/04/2022 18:16

Sounds like were in a similar boat. I've been trying since summer and I had a mmc in November so I completely understand.

I've told myself I'm not testing this month as I spent almost £30 on tests last month. I was so sure I had felt implantation!

I'm only 7dpo now so let's see how long I can last...

cloelisa19 · 10/04/2022 18:13

thank you! will buy a frer tomorrow after work as it’s Sunday 😀 Been trying for over a year now, had a MC last November from pregnancy of unknown location and dread the time is comes to test as it’s always negative ☹️ Baby dust to us all ✨

LuckyWithMyLot · 10/04/2022 18:07

@chloelisa19 Gotcha! I see what you mean now. I'd be worried the ink dried in a weird way but, in your position, I would be running to buy a frer right now! Fingers crossed it means something good.

staceymarieox · 10/04/2022 17:58

Hey! I've had a few that have been like this before, unfortunately they have always ended up being negatives but I'm by no means saying it will be for you, sometimes it's just the way the ink sits when it's drying! Take another one and if still in doubt try another brand for peace of mind :) good luck! X

cloelisa19 · 10/04/2022 17:33

hey! the control line is the one on the right and that thick pinky line is on the left x

LuckyWithMyLot · 10/04/2022 17:21

Hey @chloelisa19 is that the control line?

cloelisa19 · 10/04/2022 16:44

Hey! late to join this thread but i’m currently 11DPO and I looked at my test at 5 mins and there’s this? Why is the line so thick! Is this normal? it’s pretty pink and showed up within 5 minutes. But i’ve never seen a line like this! Help please? it’s a one step test, a batch of 20 from ebay

Think I'm out again. Doing the ov sticks and had 3 days of high and then 2 days of low. No peak. On CD13 so thinking I might not have ov'd

Peachygal27 · 10/04/2022 09:56

Morning! How’s everyone this morning?

Yes I tested again with the cheap testing strips but still negative. Nipples are really sore today so possibly AF coming

staceymarieox · 10/04/2022 08:59

This month I have absolutely no idea where I am regarding dpo! Its the only month I havent noted it down because I usually go crazy testing after it, at a guess I would say around 8/10dpo, I know I ovulated as I caught it on a test then it was faint then negative over the following two days but I can't remember what days I tested 🤦‍♀️ I took another early detection this morning and I think I can see a faint pos, but it is kind of a blink and you'll miss it and I'm very prone to line eye 🙄 stomach cramps are increasing now too which I'm hoping isn't aunt flo coming early!

RSmamaa · 10/04/2022 06:43

@staceymarieox do you know how many dpo you are? I wouldn't go by when AF is due if you are irregular as your luteal phase may change every cycle. I had a negative clear blue this cycle but 2 days later got a positive with boots early detection. I was only 8dpo at this point which is very very early. Good luck x

staceymarieox · 09/04/2022 20:49

Hey everyone, tonight I caved and bought an early detection test, clear blue the one that's meant to be from 6 days before, currently uts negative :( I am feeling a little deflated tbh! I feel different in my lower stomach etc really feel like we have done it this month, has anyone had these negative and still had a BFP the same cycle? I'm 4 days away from aunt flo based on 28 day, my cycles aren't regular so I know that could be a factor still so I won't give up!

ViL89 · 09/04/2022 20:47

@Xtina1986 I'm a few months on from you and got everything fully checked out I felt it helped so would recommend best of luck X

I used to be the same @Everythingcrossed89 I tend to so okay on week 1 but by the middle of week 2 I'm symptom spotting like the best of us lol

Sabina93 · 09/04/2022 20:17

@Peachygal27 yes you'll find out soon. Fingers crossed for BFP 😊 will you be testing again tomorrow?

Peachygal27 · 09/04/2022 18:50

No unfortunately my periods are irregular, so one month it could be a 21 day cycle and the next it could be 42.. Noway of knowing really. My last period was 3rd March so hoping one way or another I’ll know soon!

Sabina93 · 09/04/2022 18:34

@Peachygal27
Hi 😊 you're not out until af arrives. Dont you know when is your period due? Maybe you're just testing too early

Sabina93 · 09/04/2022 18:32

@Xtina1986
Oh I'm so sorry I know that it can be really frustrating. I was really sad and also cried at the beginning but now I'm just trying to think positive and not to get stressed.

I think that your symptoms actually sound really promising so fingers crossed 🤞
I'm only 4-5dpo so I have to wait till the end of the next week 😏

Peachygal27 · 09/04/2022 15:27

Hey everyone!
I’m new to here, just spent an hour reading this whole thread and love the support everyone gives! Also nice to see I’m not the only one searching for lines in tests lol.
I’m looking for some advice. Me and OH not trying but also not not trying. So my periods are irregular and I’ve no idea when I ovulated but we DTD 22/26/27/29 of March but all tests up to now have been negative! Had some mild cramps for a week or so, tender nipples and so exhausted the last two days but no sign of AF yet. Unsure if I could be testing too early or if I’m out completely? Hate the waiting game 😓
