TTC a first

@Chocolotandtea thank you!! Not sure I can face another cycle if it’s BPN 🤦🏼‍♀️ genuinely might have a pause until we get tests in January! X

Everything crossed for you @Bananatoast123 xx

Bfn this morning within the time frame! I am going to retest tomorrow though incase it needs more time/more hormone! 🤦🏼‍♀️ been reading how coloured evaps are sometimes “chemical” in that you didn’t quite implant / make enough hcg.

I can see it too!! Fingers crossed 🤞

@UserL95 @Thatskindafun thank you both!! I’ve inverted the photo, changed the contrast to check I’m not seeing things!! I’ve never really had an evap either before and I did one this evening (on very diluted wee and there wasn’t an evap then)

I know I half think to wait until 10dpo but I don’t think I can wait! Tomorrow is either going to be really happy or utterly heartbreaking!!

@Thatskindafun i have fingers crossed for us to both get Christmas miracles

@Bananatoast123 omg I can definitely see a line!! Fingers crossed for tomorrow, hopefully not just an evap 🤞

That’s posted so much more blurry!!

@ScarletDreams no only a mommed cheapie!! I showed a photo to my friend and she can see it too! But it might be an evap! So frustrating seeing it after so many hours! Will see how tomorrow morning goes (9dpo) but won’t rule myself out until 11dpo incase it just needs more time!

Do you have any FRER to test with tomorrow? Fingers crossed for you !!

So I’m going mad. I did a test this morning (8dpo) and I left it on the side and went to work, I just thought it wouldn’t show anything. Now I looking at it in some
detail (line eyes could be happening) I can’t unsee the shadow of a pink line. I’ve gone for a walk and everything and come back to it etc. It’s been so long since I took it it’s probably just an evap line. I’m going insane!

@Thatskindafun I think it’s normal to fluctuate from googling and it doesn’t mean I’m out yet so fingers crossed 🤞🏼

Hi what is a DDP?

@Thatskindafun ahhh so sorry! I’ve had this it’s the worst!!

I currently have had a 0.04 drop in my bbt (7dpo) and then 0.1 (today at 8dpo) and I’m praying I’m not out because my temp is dropping slowly!!

Random question but does anyone know if breast tenderness happens the same if you have conceived or if you're going to have a flow?

@UserL95 evening primrose oil! It’s meant to help with CM and also the uterus but post ovulation it can make it hostile!

ahh it’s silly they even use bmi, it’s so outdated! You could be 30+ and so fit and healthy!! You might as well try start a convo! We just both want to know we are medically ok and then we will give it a few more months!

@Bananatoast123 whats EPO?
i will look into medicheck! If this month were unsuccessful I really want to look at private too - but both mine and DH bmi is 30+ so will need to find a clinic who will even talk to us

@UserL95 ahh I think this might be me if AF turns up in a week too, I feel like I’ve put so much into this cycle with overcoming my head and trying to be positive 🤦🏼‍♀️

I just took 1 teaspoon a day! We’ll find out if it worked but I’ll try it again next cycle as I feel I could’ve done more! I also tried EPO too but stopped as soon as I ovulated!

Private! I’ve used medicheck it was only £30! Tbh I think we’ll go private in January/feb (cycle 11 or 12) for a scan and for my OH. I just can’t bring myself for the nhs waiting lists!

@Bananatoast123 yes social media is evil when TTC I swear it! I’m in a much better place than I was when AF arrived that’s for sure. I’m still around 5 days before ovulation yet so will try and get some cough syrup tonight in that case! Are you doing a gp progesterone test or private?

@UserL95 great to hear from you, I hope you’re doing ok? I did the cough syrup this month I think I did 3 days before O too but I felt I should’ve started it earlier! I’ve also been bbt - found it hard to get into the swing of it at first but now remember each morning! I also did a progesterone test today as I’m 7dpo so hoping it gives good news that I’m making enough!

This month has been super hard! TikTok freaked me out about my amh score from hertility (I did this in June) that it was low but hertility said it’s fine! So finally admitted I’m going mad and I need to stay off social media!!

@UserL95 im only only first month ttc and first month post pill so I plan to wait till Jan (as they say it takes 3 months for it to fully leave your system) and then will do hertility testing, track ovulation via pee sticks and will also try the fertility cup. I’m sorry so many people have been trying for some time and I really do foresee the same journey for myself so it’s great to learn about these tips and tricks in advance x
