Hi anyone else in the dreaded waiting weeks?

Im having a crazy cycle this month so I think I’m 6 DPO but could be 2 DPO as I had 2 LH surges on my Premom OPKs. Trying to not get my hopes up!

Symptoms: back ache, lower belly cramps with aching around upper thighs, sore and full breasts, fatigue.

Not due AF till next Sunday so I have a wait to go!

That's good about the clomid @pm24 fingers crossed that helps!

I'm fine just at the beginning of a new cycle now! I'm away this weekend and I'm just hoping ovu day doesn't fall when I'm away! Then next cycle my partner is away one weekend and again it might be the ovu week! Typical! See what happens though, I think I might be back in time this cycle but you just never know, I know roughly ovu times but I've never really managed to get into a regular cycle since I came off the pill so it could be a few days either way! Just have to keep testing and hope I'm back!

You never really think about how few days you have every cycle to try!

Sorry to hear that @pm24 do they have a plan of how they'll help you? Or do you have to go back to discuss further etc?

Hope you're ok and I hope they can help now they know the levels are low x

@suz2285 thank you, no they just said to take clomid and hope for the best! If that doesn't work then they will try something else but haven't told me what.

How are you getting on? X

Deffo out now. My blood test came back with <1mnol for progesterone which means I didn't ovulate, therefore can't be pregnant :( really disappointed and had a good few hours of crying and a mental breakdown but will now focus my energy on how I can bring up my progesterone levels to increase my chances!

Now just have to wait for AF to come to finally close this chapter!

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 18/03/2023 19:00

@suz2285 thank you. We haven't done much today either but I enjoyed that x

suz2285 · 18/03/2023 18:56

@KIWI2023 I've seen some horrible indents on those FRER tests! The consensus seems to be if it's pink it's positive, if the line is grey it's an indent but god knows! That's a clear line anyway, hopefully be clearer in another couple of days with another test.... fingers crossed for you!

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 everything crossed for you too!

I'm so tired today, went swimming this morning, then to the garden centre to meet husbands fam for a coffee and cake, came home and had a nap 😂 no idea if that's a symptom or I'm just tired! Feel wiped out tho! Just making my dinner then a quiet night... every weekend I think I'm gonna be so productive and then after a full week at work I'm just like nah 🙈

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 18/03/2023 16:46

@KIWI2023 thank you. I'm still shocked as I'm only 11DPO today 12 at an absolute push. By my normal dates AF wouldn't be due for nearly a week but I did ovulate early this month. Just hoping it's not a Chemical x

KIWI2023 · 18/03/2023 16:35

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 will do lovely.

Oh that is brilliant news!! Congratulations!✨🤍

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 18/03/2023 16:34

@KIWI2023 let us know how you get on I don't see people saying much about FRER indents and evaps only CB.

Yes my FRERs turned up at lunch time yesterday I had kept my wee in a pot in the bathroom (gross I know) and I tested with same wee and that was a very clear positive. Going to do a digital tomorrow as will be 48 hours later then x

KIWI2023 · 18/03/2023 16:25

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 18/03/2023 16:22

@KIWI2023 I that looks like a line to me esp as you didn't use FMU. On FRER when I'm not pregnant they have only ever been white. Fingers crossed it's darker in a day or 2 x

Thanks lovely. Fingers crossed but not getting my hopes up as apparently they can be nightmares for indents. Will keep you all updated. Have you had any more tests delivered? Xx

KIWI2023 · 18/03/2023 16:17

Essentially I'm sure it's just an indent but will test again in a few days to check. I've attached the pics below, if it is an indent (it's darker in person) I'm surprised FR can be that naughty! Have popped two pics below xx

KIWI2023 · 18/03/2023 16:02

Hey ladies! I took a FRER today 9DPO as I've been having some weird goings on, sense of smell is really off (crazily so) and pinchy cramps, I should not have done it so early which I know and I did not use FMU or even SMU😂 but now I'm confused as I either have a really horrific indent or a VVFL 🤦🏽‍♀️

suz2285 · 17/03/2023 15:50

Jeez @pm24 that is not helpful! Hopefully the blood test will shed some light on the situation!

@Tophy124 totally understand how you feel! This is how I felt when I was dating online you get burnout after a few months and need a break! It's a blooming exhausting and fustrating process esp when you see others having a seemingly easier time! I'm still hopeful for you this cycle! You're not out till AF arrives 🤞

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 17/03/2023 14:30

@pm24 that really doesn't sounds like a helpful comment!

@Tophy124 I can totally get that. I really hope you will get your BFP soon ❤️ x

pm24 · 17/03/2023 14:27

Arghh so frustrated! The Gyno provided no clarity as to what is going on! She said she could see that I had thickening which is consistent with what happens post ovulation but can't say for sure if I ovulated or not. Currently in line waiting to take a progesterone blood test which will determine if I ovulated or not. I asked what the next steps were and she said to wait for my period or wait till I get pregnant! Wtf!!

Tophy124 · 17/03/2023 13:06

@pm24 good luck at the drs!!

@Rabnes I have severe endo and so we have been trying for a little while already and so each month just feels more and more stressful. I think I may actually take a break from the threads as whilst they are supportive seeing the BFPS each month is like rubbing salt in a wound (even tho I’m really really happy for everyone who got a BFP!!)

Thank you all! Xx

suz2285 · 17/03/2023 10:14

Yes i see lines on all of those @Emmamoo89 @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 @FlyingHighFlyingLow !! amazing! Test again in a another couple of days and hopefully be clearer for you all! Looks great though, how amazing!! 🤗

I've still got a long wait only 5dpo here but with soooo much CM the last few days (anyone else have that!?) I think i had the same early pregnancy last time but not sure if it was before or after my BFP! was only a few months back you'd think i'd remember! Anyway, still ages to wait for me, not testing till next weekend, so i'll be following you all with interest until then!

pm24 · 17/03/2023 09:14

Aww congrats to those double lines!!

I have my gyno scan today and feeling somewhat nervous. Is it silly that I'm clinging onto some kind of miracle that when she scans me she sees something!! Lol, wishful thinking hey! I'm supposedly 13DPO no symptoms and no AF so I think I'm out for this month. I will also probably sit the next cycle out as Xmas is stressful enough!

Good luck to the rest of the ladies waiting for their BFP xx

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 17/03/2023 09:02

@KIWI2023 thank you. Hopefully we will get some more positives this month seems to be a lucky month so far and lots earlier on in their cycle than us x

KIWI2023 · 17/03/2023 08:56

@Tryingtoconceivenumber2 @FlyingHighFlyingLow I have my fingers crossed for both of you! Sending baby dust & praying for sticky babies🫶 you guys give me so much hope x

Tryingtoconceivenumber2 · 17/03/2023 08:54

@KIWI2023 thank you. I'm so hoping it is right. I've kept my wee in case my FRERS arrive today. I tested on my clear blue fertility monitor as it also tests for pregnancy and it says not pregnant. Also got a negative on a cheapy but needed 25 ml of HCG not the 10 that clear blue can pick up x

FlyingHighFlyingLow · 17/03/2023 08:53

Thanks @Tryingtoconceivenumber2 and @KIWI2023 I was told it wouldn't happen, I only took one in case as I'm supposed to be out tonight! Fingers crossed not an evap and sticks 🤞
