1dpo - it's going to be a long two weeks if anyone wants to symptom spot with me

@blueberry23 why do you think it’s a chemical? 11 DPO is definitely much darker. I wouldn’t worry x

11dpo at the top.

I'm super concerned it's another chemical.... this is 9/10/11 DPO.

I didn't do a test this morning at 12dpo but have one for tomorrow.

The anxiety is real 😣

After two miscarriages I am on progesterone so worried that that's the only reason I'm not bleeding and that it will just prolong a miscarriage starting - am I being crazy??

I’m out 😭 AF arrived this morning at 11dpo and 3 days early 😢 I’m absolutely devestated. I don’t know if I can keep going through this month after month, 10 months of TTC and it’s heartbreaking. Good luck to everyone else.

@Panda0 so pleased your line is coming along nicely.

@justbelieve I had very similar this morning, I usually try a second time and if it is different I take a third reading. I then choose which ever reading I had twice.

Thank you @MillieKitty @TheBirdintheCave @Sunshine085 @Mortima @Mayfield87 and @blueberry23 for being so kind. I’m sure (very understandably) they are very excited. MIL is aware we are TTC. Feeling more positive this morning knowing how much it will mean for us when we get a bfp.

@justbelieve hmm, did u move/turn around a bit before taking the 2nd temp? If so, I wold say the first one is correct,if not then idk what happened.

12dpo and bfn definitely out this month but I think I’m probably trying too soon after my MMC and my body isnt ready. AF due in three days just want her to come so i can start over

@Panda0 congrats lovely wishing you all the best 🤞🏼

sending baby dust and positivity to everyone else on this thread 💕💕

@justbelieve I would take it a 3rd time and go with which one is closer xx

I took my BBT this morning and it was 36.36, thought that was low as I was 36.65 yesterday. Retook it a second later without speaking / getting up and it was 36.76… which one would you go with?

Lovely line @Panda0, really hope it keeps going in that direction

I also caved this morning, BFN at 10/11dpo 😩My temp is still up but noticeably less breast sensitivity today, so I'm pretty sure I'm out.

@justbelieve the draw to test is unbelievable 🤦‍♀️. Hope you can hold off for a few days now!

My line is stronger this morning. I have everything crossed and trying not to get my hopes up too much but it is hard!

So I caved and took a FRER this morning. I’m only 7 DPO so obviously BFN… why did I cave!

Sorry to hear you've experienced that @Wrenegade. If she is aware your ttc that's very insensitive.

So I don't know if I'm going mad, I've had a dull ache like AF is coming all day. The veins in my boobs are more prominent too. No sign of spotting which normally happens before AF and it isn't due until 5 days time. I just have this feeling if I'm honest but also could be going mad 🙈 10dpo.

@Sunshine085 I’m not too sure on whether it gives you cramps, I’ve heard you should drink it until it you get a BFP as it helps to thicken the uterine lining and encourage implantation - I’ll have to look more into it to see if you should stop at ovulation.

I’ve been so bloated this afternoon and had hot flushes, a bit of dizziness and a very very minor twinge from my left ovary… no idea what’s on, but 7DPO tomorrow, so we’re almost ready for testing 💪🏻

@Wrenegade that's awful. Does she know you are TTC!?

@emevol That's bad if it's an indent! Hard to tell though, and it is still very early (particularly for a cheapie test). You've done amazingly with the weight loss, I'm really hopeful for you.

@Wrenegade So rude of your MIL! Would this be your first pregnancy? I'm TTC #1 and know that my MIL is dying to become a grandmother, although my BIL and his girlfriend are probably not in that stage yet so I don't feel compared like that.
Thanks for the tip about the raspberry leaf tea, I'll look into that - also aware that my luteal phase is on the shorter side.

I'm convinced one boob is more sensitive than the other this cycle, and that this might somehow mean something 😂

@Wrenegade how rude of your Mil! Sorry for your shitty afternoon.

@Wrenegade That sucks :( Sorry you had to sit though that.

@Panda0 Congrats! Hope this is a sticky bean :D

I just wanted to share how grateful I am for this thread and that we’re rooting for one another.

I just sat through an afternoon at MILs whilst she barely engaged with me because she was texting a WhatsApp group with my two pregnant SILs. Hearing how thrilled they are to be bonding over pregnancy and all of their purchases and chats made me feel really anxious and isolated.

@justbelieve I am drinking raspberry leaf tea to lenghten my lp but I was under the impression to drink it in the first half of the cycle and stop at ovulation. Am I doing it wrong? Thought I was supposed to stop at Ovulation as raspberry leaf tea can make you cramp or something.

@emevol i had an indent in the last test I did yesterday.. 🙈 The last 2 have had vvvvvvfl which I think were both indents..sucks. Still early though. 9dpo and holding out till tomorrow or at least Tuesday.. My fingers are crossed for you 🤞🏻

Hey. I think I'm 5 dpo. Can't wait to test.

I second what @blueberry23 said, I would get a FRER. The strip test take ages to show anything.

Also, does anyone use the Ava bracelet? Thinking of getting one.
