@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

@Ella31 I'm so sorry... that's heartbreaking! I hope you get your BFP very very soon x

Thanks so much. I shouldn't be so dramatic, it's only our 2nd month trying but I had a miscarriage 4 months ago. Got pregnant on our honeymoon wasn't not trying but didn't expect it to happen so fast. Miscarried at 7 weeks.

I think if the miscarriage didn't happen I'd be ok right now. It's early days.

Can I ask ppl what they did right. We completely over did baby dancing this month, my husband was wrecked by the time I got my peak.

@christmasbabydust - it's been on lots of different tests. I find FRER to be unreliable
But all my tests seems to be rubbish atm

I cried my eyes out today. Aunt flo came on time and when I tested an hour before she came with a Frer, and the clearest faint line I ever got. Heartbroken.

@ScotsBaby2 Wow the longest cycle I've ever had was 32 days. Hopefully you can destress a bit now and your cycles will settle down. There are some other supplements you can take to help regulate cycles, I'm not sure what they are called but I'm sure a few people in here will know. My lp is always 15 days so it could be accurate

christmasbabydust · 27/12/2022 19:36

Were all the indent lines on frers? The line I have is on a frer but it's so faint you can barely see it

bubblebab · 27/12/2022 19:22

@ScotsBaby2 that's insane! I have NEVER had indents before - now I've had at least 3 this week! Ridiculous 😔and heartbreaking

ScotsBaby2 · 27/12/2022 19:20

bubblebab · 27/12/2022 16:25

Seems loads of us are getting indent lines 😖

I have a friend who is 10 weeks pregnant and she was saying she had more fault pregnancy tests that ones that worked.

lili2308 · 27/12/2022 16:49

@ScotsBaby2 I'm 10 DPO now and still haven't tested (isn't easy!). My AF is due New Year's Day so I am waiting till then. Largely because hearing stories about very early chemicals here makes me think I'd rather avoid knowing. It's not easy though to stop yourself from testing !

@WilllowStar these were my ovulation sticks. I was sure nothing would happen but then all of a sudden a peak!!!

ScotsBaby2 · 27/12/2022 16:12

@Babydust99 I've been taking them. The stress of a wedding and having the covid vaccine just before ovulation in previous cycles is why they are all over the place I think.

I would be due to test on 7th January but that would be 15DPO which seems a long time. I think I peed on about 20 sticks last cycle as it was 55 days long!!

How many days post ovulation is everyone testing?

Workinprogress90 · 27/12/2022 12:07

Hi ladies, hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Sorry to all those who had AF visit :( still in my TWW counting down the days until I can test. Desperately trying not to read into every little twinge but I think we all know how our brains work in the TWW 😂 sending lots of luck and positive vibes to those testing or nearing the testing stage!

christmasbabydust · 27/12/2022 12:03

Sorry @Ella31 , sending lots of luck your way for your next cycle.
I had a really faint line on a frer this morning too. I really hope it's not a bad batch of frers or an evap

Ella31 · 27/12/2022 11:46

I'm out guys, AF arrived in full swing this morning. Got a horrifying faint line with my Frer before she came with FMU today. But obviously an indent. That's two indents for me this cycle. Congrats to everyone who got their bfp and send some luck this way ❤️

Babydust99 · 27/12/2022 11:41

@ScotsBaby2 Are you taking any vitamins or supplements? I found a pre natal vitamin helped to regulate my cycles better. Will you test early?

bubblebab · 27/12/2022 10:19

@Matildahoney I hate when people make comments like that. It's in no way helpful! I had countless people say that to me 🙄

Matildahoney · 27/12/2022 10:14

@bubblebab everything crossed for you to. Doesn't help that I'm 40 and we're TTC our first! Was so happy to fall in July, then you get everyone else stories of 'oh I fell really quickly after mc' it's so bloody hard isn't it?!

bubblebab · 27/12/2022 09:53

@Matildahoney I keep zoning off and dreaming/ picturing in my head getting a positive test. But it's so real- so then I take a test and it's negative 😟
I hope you'll get a BFP 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Matildahoney · 27/12/2022 09:51

Ah @bubblebab same for me, friends keep telling me it could still happen, I feel pregnant, as in TMI really, but sex for me is very different when I'm pregnant, I orgasm really quickly and easily because everything is so much more sensitive, it's the only time my body has ever been like this and it's happening this month. So I just keep hoping!!

christmasbabydust · 27/12/2022 09:47

I've had all negative tests up until now. Think I'm 10 dpo but possibly only 9dpo. I had a very faint line this morning but I think I read the test too late so it could be an evap line. Hate the waiting and not knowing!

ScotsBaby2 · 27/12/2022 09:41

@Babydust99 we are on cycle 3 but I've had strange cycles the last 4 cycles and we've only really made a decent effort the last two cycles. It's an odd one though as if we conceive this cycle then the due date would be the day that my son was diagnosed with cancer.

bubblebab · 27/12/2022 09:35

AF due tomorrow and tests are negative 😔😔 doesn't help my cycle is irregular. Hate the waiting game

Babydust99 · 27/12/2022 01:55

ScotsBaby2 · 27/12/2022 00:49

Maybe more drunk than I should be 😂

I have two kids already so this time of year is really hectic and lots of late nights so I've not really though about it. It's my daughter's 5th birthday party on Wednesday and once it's finished then I will have nothing else to focus on but tww and tidying the house.
How about you?

I've been feeling really tired yesterday (26th) and just not quite myself but putting it down to the craziness of Christmas as that would only be 6 dpo and too early for any kind of symptom. Randomly however I've had increased cm since ovulation for the first time ever. This is cycle 7 ttc #1 so would really love this to be it. Which cycle are you on?
