@christmasbabydust eeek I would tentatively say congrats as the line looks pink to me! Would test again in a few days and see. Fingers crossed this is your BFP!

Stilltobeseen · 28/12/2022 16:00

So FF and flo are giving me two different days as ovulation. Which would you go with? Doesn't overly matter I suppose but just curious as would like to be a DPO ahead instead of behind lol

@LLL3 I mean it might be worth doing a pregnancy test in case you're already pregnant? But yeah have a chat with your GP if you're worried but AF will likely turn up soon

LLL3 · 28/12/2022 12:46

Thanks so much!

I have a terrible googling problem 🤣 seeing things like ‘cycle should be regular within 3 months’ and hearing everyone else got theirs back sooner!

I was on the mini pill before and my pregnancy was an accident so this is all new to me.

LucyLoopyLu · 28/12/2022 12:38

Hi @LLL3 I had the copper coil before TTC so no waiting time (not that it's helped me so far!) But prior to that I was on the combined pill for over 10 years then the mini pill. Took about 4/5 months for my cycle to come back, my GP wasn't concerned and neither was I but I wasn't ttc so not really thinking about it too much at the time.

Hopefully yours will come out of your system soon too

LLL3 · 28/12/2022 11:45

Hey I’m new here 👋🏼
We have been TTC since September 22.

I was on microgynon 30 pill for years and still no sign of ovulation or periods it’s been well 3 months now!

No positive tests and I’ve got so bogged down with doing fortnightly tests (just incase) I just can’t face ovulation tests as I feel there’s nothing going on.

Getting a bit worried there’s something wrong with me 😟 I have an 8yo from a previous relationship but have been on the pill since!

does anyone else have any time frames that might help ease my worries or had the same problem coming off a combined pill?

I got another faint line this morning but really unsure whether to trust this frer after hearing about all the indent lines

That looks more than a faint line, keep testing and all the baby dust in the world to you ❤️

Matildahoney · 28/12/2022 09:39

I'm out, af appeared with a vengeance last night, bloody bitch! After lots of tears and ruining Christmas day for DH and I, and a good talking to about not being stressed because actually it's not helpful, we weren't actually trying as such the month I fell, I just realised my tracker app said it was ovulation day and we had to DTD just in case! So I'm going to try not to put too much pressure on next month! Good luck everyone.

PumpkinTruffles · 28/12/2022 09:19

My period showed up this morning, 2 days late and after a clear, albeit faint, positive at 13DPO on a first response test 😔 I'm going to be really strict about not testing early from now on, it's too disappointing

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 09:14

Haha yes I'm definitely not trusting his opinion on this one. Oh really, I didn't know that, it does have a pink colour to it so 🤞 it is my bfp.
Sounds like yours is likely to be positive as well with the negative colours thing. Fingers crossed we get our September babies 😊

LucyLoopyLu · 28/12/2022 09:13

@christmasbabydust I cam definitely see a line on the first response! Tentative congrats! Maybe wait 2 days then test again?

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 09:06

@christmasbabydust - my cycle is very irregular but my app was telling me to test today. So I am most likely too early to test but I can't help myself. If I turn my phone to negative colours I can definitely see a line (did this last pregnancy)

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 09:03

@christmasbabydust - I showed my partner my dye stealer test from my son and he said he couldn't see the line 😂 don't trust the men with pregnancy tests!
Evap lines shouldn't be pink - I'm very hopeful of your test

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 09:02

@bubblebab it could be bfp but maybe its still very early? You might need to wait a couple more days, I know it feels like torture

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 08:58

@bubblebab I really hope so! I think I'm just doubting because of hearing about indents and it's still quite faint. I showed my husband and he said it didn't look dark enough! But then what does he know lol

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 08:55

This is making me really unsure now 🤔

@christmasbabydust I would definitely take that as a positive! That's a lovely pink line!!!!!!

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 08:49

Good luck @bubblebab I hope you get your bfp. This waiting and not knowing thing is so hard, it's driving me crazy.

@bubblebab I think I can see something very faint on the last pic? It's really hard to capture the faint ones on photos

It's VERY clear to my eye- but on photo it's a bugger to see. I had a really bad evap on these test's yesterday- but this came up at 4mins30seconds-5mins so I'm not sure. Just doing a couple more. If they're the same I will try get another brand to double check 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Bfn here. Was convinced it would be a bfp due to how hot I've felt at night but I guess that's just down to the usual progesterone after ovulation heat increase. Had forgotten how it felt. Will await AF or another peak on the LH whichever comes first (still breastfeeding so no period yet)

It's hard no matter where you are on your journey isn't it? I definitely think being only cycle 3 now....there's time, but I feel the MC has spooked me and made me question my fertility.

God, 17 months is hard, I'm convinced it's just luck because I can't fathom how it works for some and not others so fast. So I hope you are keeping that dream alive.

To make myself feel better, I've kept telling myself that the longer the wait, the more special that BFP will be , because I had practically told myself it would work no bother again after the MC. And your BFP will be just as special and so wanted.

Totally agree, every journey is different and there are so many different ways it can be hard, heartbreaking and stressful.

funny how everyone has ways to get them through it isn’t it. The way I try and think is that I need the time to prepare for what a rocket baby i have coming my way! Everyone needs something to hold on to to get them through it.

2 of my best friends have fallen pregnant straight away and are due within 5 weeks of each other. So happy and excited for them - just wish I could be a part of it too!

I’ve agreed to 3 months of letrozole to see if that makes a difference and if not we will be starting IVF circa March.

@Ella31 so sorry, that must have been really tough. I’ve never managed to get pregnant in my 17 months of trying so I don’t have any helpful advice about how to do it right I’m afraid :( still hoping that one day I will get it right! Can’t imagine how awful the MC was, it’s no wonder you are finding it difficult. Be kind to yourself ❤️ I really hope it happens for you soon
