Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

Same as @GoT1904, too early to be sure of anything! Have told myself they are indents/evaps as two other one-step cheapies were negative and I'm sure they're all the same sensitivity so I guess tomorrow morning will be the decider! xx

GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 11:44

@Graceybaby it really is torture isn't it!! I used to track my cervix when TTC before, so being soft and high can be good can't it!

@Rosegold3112 ffs why do they have to be so sensible?! One of my friends had the restraint to not test until she was a week late! She was so chilled about it. I'm not in the slightest bit that chilled 😂😂😂 depending on how many cheapies my friend brings, I might take one of them, but that's it!!! Lol.

Not me I don't think @MrsGrealish. I'm driving myself insane lol. Too unclear to be sure of anything and a very real possibility it's an indent or evap or something, but time shall tell. Xx

I've literally just logged on! Who has bfps?! @Graceybaby @GoT1904 @Rosegold3112 ?

Rosegold3112 · 12/04/2022 11:27

@GoT1904 I feel your pain! I asked DH to bring some decent tests home and he is the voice of reason telling me to test again in a few days. It will take all my will power not to test again today though.

@Graceybaby I haven't been tracking my cervix position but I also read that's not a reliable way to tell, as it can also move depending on what else is happening 🤔 I used to try to dtd more vigorously when af was due to see if it was easy to hit it but that's proven unreliable too 😂😂 I'd never be a scientist with my bizarre methods

Graceybaby · 12/04/2022 11:15

@GoT1904GoT1904 Why do we torture ourselves?? I'm still debating whether to test again today or not.. I know im going to be disappointed.. currently holding my wee but not sure if I can hold for 4hrs?! Surely that's not healthy 😂

Anyone track their cervix position? I've always heard its supposed to go higher if you've conceived, and mines definitely higher then it was yesterday so just another thing to drive me insane today... 🙈

GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 11:00

Just done another FRER. Whyyyyy :( ofc it's a BFN. I really need to otherwise occupy my mind today. I don't want to test again today.

OP posts:
GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 10:32

@ArcEnCiel2022 haha thank you!! I've just ordered another twin pack of FRER because they're still reduced on Amazon 😂 they're coming tomorrow. So I don't need to feel too bad by testing early lol xx

OP posts:
Graceybaby · 12/04/2022 10:32

Rosegold3112 I have plenty of cheapy one-step tests, one blue dye clearable and a digi clear blue one but won't use the digi unless I get some better lines!

I've convinced myself they're evaps so I dont get my hopes up!

Don't really have any symptoms just feel bit sicky, no cramps or anything, intermittent sore boobs but that's it.

Still only 9DPO so time will tell!

ArcEnCiel2022 · 12/04/2022 10:28

@GoT1904 don't tempt me please with your thread of bfp at 8dpo 😂 good luck if you test later! 🤞

GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 10:21

I was unsure whether to test today but saw a thread on bfps at 8dpo so decided to lol. My friend is coming over today, she's pregnant so is donating me her last few ebay cheapies 😂😂😂 I'll try make my FRER possibly last a little longer. Or I'll order one more pack lol

ArcEnCiel2022 · 12/04/2022 09:40

Aaaah so may tests this morning, so exciting!! I can see a very faint line on all of yours @GoT1904 @Rosegold3112 @Graceybaby
I really hope it's the beginning of something and will become clearer!! 🤞

9dpo for me, and I didn't test, I'm desperate to do it though... Trying to wait Thursday. Still a bit of cramping and worried this is just AF announcing herself.

Rosegold3112 · 12/04/2022 09:16

@Graceybaby @GoT1904 I see yours too! Ooh I've got everything crossed for all of us! I'm considering getting DH to get some proper tests on his way home from work today but I'm unsure if I'm quite prepared to burst my bubble yet.

@GeraniumCedarwood sorry to hear about your polyps. Have you maybe got a supportive gp that might be willing to conduct some blood tests to help diagnose low progesterone? It might be quicker than waiting for gynae to do it?

Graceybaby · 12/04/2022 09:00

@dinoparadise, It is so consuming, I had forgotten too and I do think it gets more consuming the older you get because you do feel like you're running out of time.. it's been 5 years since I conceived my son and I feel so much more anxious about it all this time.. thinking about the higher risks now and how long it may take.. we are all here for moral support 💕

GeraniumCedarwood · 12/04/2022 08:59

@GoT1904, I am under investigation also for "sticky blood" but told in a letter from that consultant only to task aspirin after a BFP not before. Thanks, I'm 32 now and it's been 4 years since I was pregnant the first time.l really hope I start to get some significant progress with investigations, or I'm going to have to go private. DH is clearly gutted each month too. His little swimmers are pretty perfect, so it's hard when you know you're the issue.

dinoparadise · 12/04/2022 08:47

@Graceybaby thank you, I'm ok, but I forgot how all consuming I found TTC! I worry that now I'm older it won't happen as well, I've been pregnant 3 times, 2 miscarriages, 1 baby but each time I was lucky enough to catch first month, so I guess I was hoping it was going to be the same this time around. It's more panic I'm feeling I think that this journey might be different to 5 years ago or even the same and that I'll miscarry again. It's emotional for sure!

GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 08:47

How many dpo are you @T4Opal?

@dinoparadise yeah you're right, it really would be around the right time for implantation. How weird! I'd keep testing though.

@Graceybaby I know!!!! I've got my FRER sat in my bra so I can keep whipping it out and looking at it hahaha.

Ahh sorry @GeraniumCedarwood I've had fibroids but none that required removal. And treatment for abnormal cells. Have you considered aspirin? My friend has just been told to take it by GP after some losses. Not sure if its helped yet though, but it's apparently a miracle at preventing MC. Hope you get answers soon. Xx

@Graceybaby @GoT1904 @Rosegold3112 amazing - I seen squinty lines on all of them. Keeping everything crossed for you both!

@GoT1904 - thanks. I have a history of polyps and I think I may have undiagnosed endometriosis. I have mid cycle bleeding and spotting, I don’t ovulate until at least day 20, and my luteal phase has been short for the last 5 cycles at either 7-10 days. Also have issues keeping hold of babies when I do conceive so I’m wondering if I have low progesterone. Every time I do have a gynaecologist appointment they usually just send me for a scan and remove another polyp, but there doesn’t stop all of my symptoms and I don’t want to keep getting scar tissue on my uterus every time they remove another one, or to keep having day surgeries.

Graceybaby · 12/04/2022 08:40

@GoT1904

I see yours too *@Graceybaby*!! Why do we do this to ourselves 😂😂 xxx
I honestly don't know.. kind of wishing I hadn't tested... just going to drive myself crazy all day now.. 😅

Just trying not to get my hopes up!

@dinoparadise It's so frustrating isn't, we drive ourselves crazy... I've been losing sleep the last couple of nights just feeling so anxious about it all.. Hope you're ok 😊

xx

dinoparadise · 12/04/2022 08:37

@GoT1904 I had a peak OPK on the digital clearblue the Wednesday before the spotting, so it would have been a week between the two which I thought was about right for implantation!

Also I crossed posted with your picture, I see the line there!! 🤞🏻

T4Opal · 12/04/2022 08:36

Argh so exciting for both of you!!
I caved too early yesterday so have told myself I’m not allowed to test today. Hcg doubles every 48 hours and I am still getting sore boobs so we’ll see!

GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 08:34

Eeeeee thanks @Graceybaby. I hope so too. And for you! Xx

OP posts:
GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 08:34

Morning @dinoparadise! How are you confirming ovulation? Is it possible you ovulated when you spotted? I used to spot around ovulation at one point in time. If it was implantation bleeding I'd have thought you'd have a line by now. But it's possible you wouldn't. Your symptoms sound promising! Xx

OP posts:
GoT1904 · 12/04/2022 08:32

Sorry @GeraniumCedarwood I don't think I did your post justice as I was so wrapped up in my FRER. Do you wanna talk about your gynae issues? I've a little experience. Xx

OP posts:
Graceybaby · 12/04/2022 08:32

I can see it @GoT1904!

Really hope this is the start of your BFP 🎉
