1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

@PPop when will you test again? 🤗

I know @MillieKitty I feel like I just completely braindumped last night! Sorry!

@PPop that is a tough situation but at the same time you can't not announce when you want to in fear of upsetting her, I'm sure she will be happy for you ❤️

Big hugs to everyone who is still a BFN I'm still awaiting my BFP I think, got a spot on my forehead and one coming up on my chin which usually means AF is coming so I'm feeling particularly moody today!

I did realise I have a potential situation, my sister had a MC a few months ago, I think she will still be trying also. We haven't discussed that we are both trying I'm making a guess. I keep hoping she announces before I do, but at the same time don't want to delay on mine! This could be a potential minefield 🫣 I love her dearly and the MC was traumatic.

@Wrenegade I'm sorry to hear that, understand the mentally being able to move on part though.

Caved and tested and was totally white 11dpo so guessing I'm probably out. Not sure if AF if going to come tomorrow (LP is normally 11days but I ovulated earlier this month) or if cycle will still be the same length as normal and have to wait longer to have that confirmation

@Wrenegade So sorry AF has come and is giving you a hard time - trying to reduce the stress and go with the flow might be a good thing, you've had a difficult week I think. I think it's already been said, but just think, today might be the day you end up calculating your EDD from 🤞

Still holding out hope for the rest of you 🙂

Sorry to hear @Peeonastick22 but yes now you can mentally move on to the next cycle, laid back approach sounds good, this cycle was the first time I stopped using the digital ovulation sticks but it seemed to work 😆

@HJA87 ah im okay but it's horrible being pregnant after a loss isn't it, just can't relax, every time I feel any "moistness" I have to run to the toilet to check

Now 10DPO! I got a spot on my forehead yesterday debating if this is AF coming 😬

I have never been pregnant so nothing to compare to but all the aches and discomfort have gone for the most part...

I’m officially out, AF turned up with vengeance this morning a day early. I must be strange but I’m so grateful to get it over and done with. My temp still hasn’t dropped, so chalking it up to my body potentially fighting off a bug.

I’m considering a laid back approach this cycle, no temping, no LH testing and stressing. I think my stress levels are a problem.

Thank you @MillieKitty , the thought of being pregnant again is equally exciting as it is terrifying given the previous MCs! But then I know I have to be in it to win it so to speak so no choice but to keep trying! How are you feeling?

@HJA87 I'm still holding out hope for you!

how is everyone getting on? 9 DPO for me and negative this AM. I normally get a BFP on 8/9 DPO so feeling a bit discouraged but my last pregnancy was negative at 10 DPO and positive on 11 DPO so I’m going to try and not lose hope until then :)

You're not out until you're out @Peeonastick22 🙂

@PPop I remember thinking my wee didn't look diluted but it must have been, I must have drank more water before bed!

@MillieKitty that is really interesting! Do you mind if I ask was it dependant on how hydrated your were?

Thanks for those pics @MillieKitty, that is reassuring - going to step away from the tests for another couple of days.

@Peeonastick22 I know how you feel! I've been known to take a pregnancy test even after my period has started...when are you due on?

@Mortima I think I saw somewhere that it can take three days for the HCG to double so try not to worry too much, although I know the worry! I've attached a pic of mine when I tested 12dpo in the morning vs the evening, and it scared me but it was fine so it can fluctuate depending on your wee etc

Tested again just now, lines still just as faint on an easy@home and FRER, no progression over the last 48 hours...also did a Morrisons test which was barely there.
Is this destined to be a chemical, or ok to have no change between 10 and 12dpo?

Feel like I'm in limbo 😫but at least no signs of AF yet

LH showing and not showing is interesting! I guess it is a reminder that we are all different and it's quite easy to compare your symptoms to others. My LH is white and white today so hearing both sides makes me feel a little better

@Peeonastick22 So sorry it's not looking good for you this month, it's a rubbish feeling I know.

Regarding doing things differently - this was my second cycle trying pre-seed, as well as taking Evening Primrose Oil up until ovulation to try and help with CM.

This month, I also had a swig of cough syrup every day during fertile week to help boost CM - I didn't notice much obvious difference, but maybe there was more inside? And I have started taking vitamin C every day as I think it's meant to help with a shorter luteal phase.

DTD a bit more than usual as well as we were on holiday (5 days during the fertile period, inc. the day after ovulation instead of ovulation day itself) - no idea if any of that has made a difference!
