Hey peeps ovulated today - anyone in the same boat and hoping for a BFP in mid May? Thought we could do the 2ww together x

@LemonZestDribbles I can see the line on both. Remind me how many dpo you are? X

That’s odd Lemon as FRER is usually much more sensitive than the strips, but the strip line is very clear!

LemonZestDribbles · 12/05/2022 07:48

@41andtryingforfirst I remember running to the loo every two minutes thinking my period had come. They are so similar!

Still unsure this morning. I've got another pink line on my one step but still faint on the frer. So still up in the air. Excuse the horrible window ledge. Just moved in and not painted yet 🙈

@LemonZestDribbles that's amazing! Please let me know how you do this morning!

I just wanted to let you guys know, I'm still pregnant but AF would've been due tomorrow and I have never felt more PMS like symptoms than I am now - bloating, cramping, heavy boobs etc. if I didn't have a BFP every day since Monday I'd swear I was out this month.

So what I'm saying is, you're not out until you're out, even if all your usual AF symptoms are there. Everyone's different but this feels more like AF than anything else xxxx

@JaneGnR88 I've got three more frer tests and a few cheapies. Very excited to see what the morning brings!

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 19:58

@LemonZestDribbles that looks great! Can’t wait to see what the morning brings, do you have more tests? ✨✨✨

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 19:51

@Rosegold3112 it's absolutely so hard to get a bfn. I hope you're as okay as you can be and remembering 10dpo is so early x

@IsThisRealLife12 that looks like a really good line 😍😍

I've been getting more and more symptoms similar to my last pregnancy. Including really low bubbles so I held and took a cheapie just before dinner 🤞

Aw bless you @Rosegold3112 its so so hard, I’ve done that loads before, even at random times when there’s no chance I’d be pregnant haha!

I came off the pill in October 2020 and they were longer but regular then august last year I didn’t have one for 3 months but still seemed to be ovulating and got pregnant in November (CP unfortunately) Hopefully getting them slowly down to normal!

I don’t have anymore tests in the house now so just gonna give it a couple of days! Xx

Rosegold3112 · 11/05/2022 13:40

@JaneGnR88 I was adamant I wasn't going to test until Fri but saw everyone's bfps yesterday and I just caved 😫 utterly ridiculous as I'm only 10dpo today and it wasn't even an hours hold of pee so of course was a bfn. I keep getting really bad evaps every month and I just can't bring myself to throw tests away and just as expected there was such a clear line there when I looked at it later which just fed the POAS monster in me. Tested this morning and bfn. Ugh why does ttc seem to take away every ounce of rationality in us? Can't help but feel disappointed. Are your cycles always so long? I've had irregular ones since Oct and this cycle will only be my second normal length one since and so far the only one I haven't got random spotting throughout the whole cycle, so if nothing else I'm trying to hold on to the positivity of that. It's hard though.

Hope everyone else is doing OK xx

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 06:29

@IsThisRealLife12 I had a good result on a similar strip test with ds when I was 13dpo so looks good eeek!!

@Organictangerine good luck and keep us posted

I hope this quotes you properly! Thank you for the reassurance =)

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 09:04

Morning all, hope everyone is doing well! Congratulations to all the BFPs and for anyone unsure hold on in there!

Has anyone NOT tested yet? I’m trying to hold
off! Although I had brown discharge this morning, yesterday I burst out crying at work (thankfully WFH!) and my boobs are killing!

I’ll be happy if it’s just my period as this will be my shortest cycle since august last year! And it’s still been 65 days 🥴

Guilty re testing! Especially as I said I wasn't going to until the 14th Grin

I've had brown discharge too, I'm told it's nothing to be fearful about at this stage. How are you feeling today?

IsThisRealLife12 · 11/05/2022 12:40

This afternoons test. I've also wiped some old blood when I've gone to the bathroom.

Period isn't due until Friday so I'm keeping a very open mind.

How is everyone else?

Organictangerine · 11/05/2022 10:59

Oh Lemon that’s exactly the kind of thing that would happen to me! I had my eyes lasered a few years back and my very near vision is blurry - not at all helpful when examining early tests!

jane, I know what you mean, although I’m cycle 1 9dpo I’ve taken 5 already 🤦🏼‍♀️ I mean my brain needs a reboot… I’m determined to hang on til at least 12dpo next cycle because all the stressing (and expense!) isn’t good.

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 10:53

It's definitely one you can't look at too long. Plus I shone a torch in my eye earlier and still have little bursts of light in my vision 🙈

@JaneGnR88 ooooh I can definitely see something there!!!

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 10:46

About 10 DPO I think, but can never be sure 🤦‍♀️
I’ve been burnt so much with tests recently I’m just going to ignore it and test again in a couple
of days, I’ve got cramps atm and feel like she’s on her way! Xx

Organictangerine · 11/05/2022 10:41

I see yours as well Jane! How many dpo?

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 10:39

Sorry not sure if they attached 🤦‍♀️

I can see something @LemonZestDribbles ! Was that this morning?

Okay so I caved, again, I’ve attached a photo of the two, but sure I’m going mad and indents hate me! Both within the time but I don’t trust it!

Organictangerine · 11/05/2022 10:17

I can see it Lemon! It’s one of those lines where you can see it better if you don’t look directly at it 😆

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 10:05

That's today's. Although I'm struggling to see it in the photo myself now 🤣 excuse the scabby wood. Not moved in and still decorating

@JaneGnR88 that must be so frustrating for ttc. Hopefully the medication keeps it coming down. Better still a bfp!

Organictangerine · 11/05/2022 10:00

Fancy posting a photo Lemon so we can take a guess?

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 10:00

Keeping everything cross for you @LemonZestDribbles still early days! ✨✨✨
I know what you mean about frer - I’m not sure I trust any tests now!

Haha yep, before that it was 83 days….I’ve been taking inositol for my pcos so hoping it’s having some effect at shortening my cycles so we can properly get down to trying once a month!

LemonZestDribbles · 11/05/2022 09:47

My test this morning has the same vvf line so I'm veering towards indent. Stupid frer. Last time I was ttc you'd never get the sniff of an evap or indent. Still only 9dpo though 🤞

@Amber17 nooooo!! That's a nightmare. Maybe the fates saying wait though 🤞

@Organictangerine boo! Maybe the frer will be more lucky

@JaneGnR88 65 days 😩😩😩

JaneGnR88 · 11/05/2022 09:43

Hold off aside from the sneaky one I did yesterday but that doesn’t count…😅
