@NatGee I will wait until next week when I'm more than a week late as don't think they would help me if I rang them up today? I'm worrying incase there's something wrong as I had a miscarriage in April, what if it's happening again šŸ˜žxx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 11:09

@My2boysaremyworld I gather you're pretty regular? Might be time to get a blood test done so you know for sure. Your HCG levels must be so low that the pregnancy tests arent picking it up

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:07

@NatGee I don't know what's going on!! 6 days late now xx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 11:06

@My2boysaremyworld thats nuts, i would too! well, until AF arrives you're still in. Maybe enjoy the weekend and test again on Monday? Fingers crossed

My2boysaremyworld · 05/08/2022 11:02

Still no AF and another negative test!!! I'm going crazy girls xx

NatGee · 05/08/2022 10:22

@EdinburghGirl1 ahhh nevermind, as you say, a new month and a fresh start! sounds like you have a solid plan ahead of this cycle, so hopefully itll be a BFP at the end of it. Baby dust to you!!
I am either 11 or 15 DPO today and I have already had two BFNs. Also not sure when AF is due as first cycle tracking, but if by Wednesday next week I get another BFN then ill be onto cycle#3, like you. Baby dust to you and everyone else xx

EdinburghGirl1 · 05/08/2022 10:10

AF finally arrived this morning so officially CD1 cycle 3. I knew I was out so I actually feel fine and feel better now it's a fresh start rather than just waiting for AF. My cycle was only 25 days, ovulating on CD1, so early ovulation and a longer luteal phase. It was only second month off the pill but maybe this is my new normal. I will be starting OPK day 7 this month and DTD every other day from after AF I think in case it's another early ovulation. Baby dust to all on this cycle. Maybe I'll get another May baby (DD was born 31st May)

@Maxime34 Hello! I’m 2DPO today and i get such a drop in emotions/energy after ovulation. I think it’s more mental for me to know ive done all i can and got to sit the TWW!

Tropicana1 · 04/08/2022 08:48

@mamazac I'm not sure I can see anything on that test in the picture - is it pink or gray in real life?
I wouldn't personally think fairground rides at this point would do anything bad but don't do anything you're not comfortable with :)

I'm not even sure myself to be honest, maybe slightly pink but who knows. Not pinning much hope on it, was just being overly cautious!

mamazac · 05/08/2022 08:35

Missgemini · 04/08/2022 07:15

@mamazac I wouldn’t have thought going on fair rides could affect things, but I’m no expert.
I went on a really physically active hen do when I was a few dpo with my last baby. Thankfully didn’t drink on that trip, so was very happy when I had a positive test a couple days later.

ah that's good to hear, I went on the rides anyway as pretty convinced I'm not pregnant. Had some cramping today which isn't unusual for a few days before my period

mamazac · 05/08/2022 08:34

@lozob I can see it, but I would be cautious if I were you, ive had some very convincing faint lines on these tests and not been pregnant, hopefully you get a clearer line on the next test! Good luck x

Bluelightbaby · 05/08/2022 01:15

Oh and to add we’ve got blood tests, scan and sperm analysis booked so would be typical if I am now finally pg lol

Bluelightbaby · 05/08/2022 01:08

So here I am yet again. Lost count what cycle I’m on - maybe 8 ? CD19 (of 24) 8dpo. But for the first time since we’ve been ttc my boobs are really really sore and I’ve been having mild cramps. I’ve always had sore boobs when pg so truly hoping this is a sign and I’m not heading for yet another bfn :(:(
lots of baby dust to you all !

Missgemini · 04/08/2022 19:24

@lozob I see it too! Good luck with the next texts!

NatGee · 04/08/2022 18:22

@lozob cheapies should be OK, so long as the sensitivity is right. Found some by One Step on Amazon (10mlu) that should be almost as good as First Response (6.3mlu).
@Maxime34 yup! During TTC cycle #1 i was so tired, I was napping all the time.

Essexgalttc · 04/08/2022 18:22

@lozob I’m really hoping that is the start of your bfp but unfortunately I got the same line with my clear blue test the day before AF arrived

I honestly hate blue dye tests for that reason it’s happened to me twice now so I won’t re purchase šŸ˜ž

Maxime34 · 04/08/2022 18:19

Hey guys CD18 3DPO over here. Anyone else get super tired straight after ovulation? Honestly feel like a different person this side of my cycle 🄱

Good luck to everyone testing at the moment!

Albieroo · 04/08/2022 18:10

@lozob I see it too, would just be worried it is an evap line as a blue test. Hopefully tomorrow morning will give you a better line!

lozob · 04/08/2022 18:09

Glad it's not just me! I took a better picture I think! I've ordered some cheapies to arrive tomorrow so we shall see....

NatGee · 04/08/2022 18:04

@lozob I see it! best do another one just in case

lozob · 04/08/2022 17:38

So still no AF just a tiny bit more pinkish spotting šŸ™„ I caved and tested mid PM and here is the result - I took the test (clear blue) apart to get a better picture. There's a weird start of a line which fades but does carry on down the whole test faintly - can anyone else see it?! Im now CD 31 of a usually 27/28 day cycle. Driving myself nuts!

Hi everyone

im currently 9DPO TTC#2 and on CD27 my cycles normally range from 21-28 days..

holding out till after weekend before testing as don’t wana get my hopes up and be disappointed by a BFN!

sending lots of baby dust to you all x

Albieroo · 04/08/2022 15:16

@Spinalonga6 I am completely new to the app too! Not really sure what or how to do it. Hence just quote replying! Although might have managed to tag you now.

We are very similar then, this is my first month trying after having the copper coil out last month. I already have one DS who was conceived with a coil in situ, so this is all completely new for me.

I suspect we won't manage ever day, I am not what I once was Wink

Equally I haven't told any of my friends or family, won't deal with the pressure very well.

Spinalonga6 · 04/08/2022 15:08

@Albieroo oh I’m glad you saw that message, I’m completely new to this! Also new to trying as well, this is the first month where I’ve been tracking ovulation as only came off the pill at start of June, WB at end of June then back to normal cycle with AF exactly 4 weeks later (as per my norm pre pill). Just realised that in July we missed our fertile window because I had covid that week and we weren’t going near each other lol

The flo app is telling me that I’m fertile from today and for the next 10 days. Just going to DtD every day or other day and keep tracking with the ovulation kits as haven’t reached peak ovulation according to yesterday’s test. Apparently sperm can live for up to 5 days in your body, so once a day or every other day is supposed to be fine. Unless you’re up for more than that in which case go for it haha

Good luck! It’s nice to come across someone with a similarish cycle as I don’t even want to tell any of my friends that we are ttc!

AF arrived today, right on time following my temp dip yesterday. On to the next cycle! I worried so much during the TWW, constantly taking FRERs (partly due to not knowing when I ovulated) that it feels like a bit of a relief to be moving in to a new cycle where I can try again. Wishing lots of baby dust for you all!
