@Amy95 aw amazing! When is your bf sperm check? I think it's good you're going to both get tested and see the gp, it gets the ball rolling for if you do need some help from fertility clinic and with all the waiting times between appointments you're better starting sooner rather than later!
And if a little baby decides to be conceived in the meantime then even better!

Honestly, me and my hub hit our 8 years together this month. We've gone through phases of sex 1-2x a month or almost every day for weeks 😅
TTC sex is so different tho, it's sometimes so forced and non passionate I just don't even want to do it regardless of if I've got my peak lol. But hoping we can dig deep and make it fun the next couple of months 🤣

Where are you heading on holiday? I'm so jealous. Are you going all inclusive? I have no holidays booked until September and it feels like a lifetime away!! Xx

Well we haven't booked it just yet , we're going look into it next month for him , he's so nervous about going love him , but we have to be brave and do it , yes I wanted to do it last year but he said not to put pressure on it and see what happens obviously it hasn't happened so I'm putting my foot down and taking him 😂 well we used to be every day for I don't know how long then stopped for a while , omg don't because the day after my peak I couldn't help but laugh he had fallen to sleep I woke him up saying it's time , he was like aim I've just woken up he was half asleep and obviously it just wouldn't work all we done was laugh our heads off it wasn't romantic at all 😂😂were off to Tenerife for a week 🥰 well we're half board , can't wait for a nice break .... Watch now September will fly by where are you going nice xxx

@LeopardLover @dabs9

thanks ladies I feel a little up/down about it as super excited to potentially of conceived naturally without the fertility treatment we were supposed to re start 🥹

I believe I’m around 10dpo and I think the thing that’s getting me is I’m comparing to my first where I had a super faint line on FRER at 9DPO with her. (Now 3!) But I know every pregnancy is different.

symptom wise I’ve not got sore boobs or anything, which I did with my daughter. Had cramps on and off / bloating / nausea this morning / headaches and a couple of dizzy spells but not sure what think with these tests.

I thought that about the urine being more diluted. I should just be patient but it’s soo difficult 😣

going to try get some different brand ones later as the CB test wasn’t even 24hr ago so theoretically if it’s a vvf positive it should get darker after that point right?

the Tesco brand i just checked are 25/mIU so I guess that’s way to early to detect if im around 10/11DPO 😅

any recommendations other than FRER & CB early detection?
X

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 11:59

@UKMummy2one hi! I can see something on the clearblue and the 7am one!
Could the one you did 3hrs later be more diluted and that's why it's not showing? I ordered some frer on amazon but have since seen people say the ones from there have been unreliable 🤔

Hi all,

I wanted to join this yesterday as did a CB test and could see a faint line, to me it looks like it has colour.

tried to get FRER this morning but after 5 pharmacies I can’t locate any so managed to get a pink die from Tesco just a cheapie and am even more confused.

the pink die I tested with this mornings urine and it showed a v faint line, ended up dropping it on the floor so it got covered in fluff 🫣 did another with urine from 3hr later and no line.

Shall I just try get FRER to be sure?

blue tests: left hand side (10pm urine)
right hand side (7am urine) (sorry for the fluff)

Eeek, there is definitely a line on that clear blue! Could you get an early detection test from Boots? What DPO are you and do you know the sensitivity of the Tesco tests?

dabs9 · 30/05/2023 11:51

@LeopardLover ooooh I love that idea of getting something to use and make you feel special before pregnancy!! I'm going to copy you on that hahaha x

Aw @Amy95 I'm so glad you're feeling better. You've been giving me a real boost this month with your positive attitude, I'm glad you're feeling more yourself 🥰
Do you think you'll go to your GP if AF arrives this month? Or try with tracking for another month or so?

This cycle i really don't know. I'm refusing to order any more opk strips because I don't want to become obsessive with it again. I do have some clearblue digitals left so started that again this morning as if I'm starting a new cycle.. just to see if anything is happening with hormones.
But honestly I think I'm just going to do my best at not thinking about what's going on inside me and try to have lots of sex all month in the hope I do eventually ovulate!
I feel tired just thinking about that but I think it's the best option for us.

Have been having almost throbbing pains in my right ovary area the last few days but I've stopped even tracking anything in my app because I cba with the mental torture lol. Xxx

So yes my next step in our little journey is gp , my partner is going to go for a check on his sperm to see what's going on there , Im with you on the tiredness after work your totally drained and we been together nearly 5 years so we do have sex alot but obviously this month I felt like a teenager again 😂 I was also sore 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 well that crampy pain sounds good just have sex lay off the opk tests and just go with it 🤞 I think the pressure you put on yourself with opk tests , maybe try a different approach like your doing now , also we go on holiday in 3 weeks time and I'm supposed to be ovulating when were away and no way will I be tracking on hols I just wanna let my hair down and hope for the best 😂 so I'll be living my best life with a cocktail and no worries about poas 🙌 , TTC comes with so many hiccups and women do go through all sorts of emotions but that's the road I'm willing to take to get to where I want in my life , we all will get oue bfps one day 🥰 even if it's not this cycle were a cycle closer 🙌xx

@LeopardLover ah I love that I'm not the only one! 😂 what was your purchase at the weekend?

A couple of months back I also made a sulking purchase as was like why am I being careful with my money for a baby I don't have?!? Bought myself a v expensive coffee machine and have to admit it's my face purchase this year lol. So a sulky one may become a regular for me too! Xx

Hahaha I loooove that! Okay, more boujee than me but I bought a Free People dress! To wear before I get pregnant as I know I'll expand quickly 🤣💜

@chlx3 Hope you're doing okay! Your symptoms sound so confusing and could point to pregnancy! It's good you have a doctor's appointment. If the results don't point for anything, push for more tests into Endo. From what I've read it's under diagnosed - a close friend has a really bad case and it's just awful! But it hasn't dashed her dreams of being a mum ❤️🥰

Your friend sounds like she's not an absolute wimp like me, that's why! 😂I hope your theory works. Or that I get pregnant... I'm talking about these twins like they're a dead cert!

Yeah I know what you mean. I think people who wear a lot of make up look wayyyyyy older. I don't really wear any, but that's cuz I have my lashes and eyebrows done! Oh nice that you're home 2 days this week. Are you in today? And yeah f**k events - that's why it's vacant! 😆

Aww wow I bet adolf has wonderful skin, and your husband. You two could not be anymore opposite right! I bet he has such clear skin. Awww hopefully he's got your husbands booty though 😂My niece has a killer bum from her dad as he is mixed race. very envious!!

We must manifest your twins!

I agree!! I don't wear much either. I need my brows done tbf 🤣 na, I'm at home today and tomorrow! Adolf woke me up at 5.45am singing "this is the way we wash our hands". I had no idea he knew that song 😅 I'm tired so glad to be WFH! 😴 Ain't no one got the energy for events haha.

Haha Adolf has the cutest butt! Actually he has my complexion but tans better, thankfully 😅

@Amy95 hope you're feeling ok today. Sometimes we need to just have a cry and let our emotions out to be able to pick ourselves up and carry on.
I was the same yesterday, started the day with a cry and today still feeling frustrated but just got to keep going.
Positive for you this month you've figured out the tracking cycles side of things and know for sure you did everything you could ☺️ xx

Hiya dabs 🥰 yes I'm absolutely fine today back to my happy little self 🙌 a good sleep sorted me right out ..... Your so right we have to keep going pointless giving up just yet after all that we have tried , the storm won't last forever 🤞 absolutely I'm so happy I finally tracked I feel so much better knowing I've done everything the right way this month so now I know for future , so what's your plans with the cycle now ? xxx

Thank you! This was me when I conceived my son, other than some cramping but I really want to feel something 🤣

Oh wow, that is early! When do you sleep? Hopefully you're asleep already 😉 I start work at 8.30am but would start it at 7.30 of I could!

Good plan to wait if you can. I'm going to wait until at least 12DPO (Friday).

I'm so sorry to the people with temp drops and AF arriving! Hope you're all ok.

I will probably sound like a lunatic but a while back I started buying a "positivity purchase" on the first day of every cycle to try and give me a mood boost and a bit of hope. Might help some and be totally the wrong thing for others but I buy a little baby item with a vision of using it for my own baby some time in the (hopefully near) future.
If we never conceive then our friends and family will get some vvv special gifts for their babies 😅 xx

Omgosh, we are the same person 🤣 although my positivity purchase happened early... At the weekend 🙈 I also bought lots of baby bits years before I had my son! I didn't buy a pram etc until he was 20 weeks though.

@GeoSmed I had the smallest bit of spotting about a week ago after sex and the tiniest bit of brown discharge in the morning about 5/6 days ago. I keep reading good things about my symptoms but also people saying they got their period a few hours later😬 if I don't get my period by tonight then I'll still test in the morning as due period tomorrow but I just have this feeling it's going to come a few days late just to irritate me🤣 I feel completely fine now and not like I'm about to get my period. I'm really hoping I'm not just being delusional but it definitely has an effect on you after so long of trying!🥲🤞🏼 x x

I'm one of the ones who normally spot just before there af arrives Hun , try not to be so hard on yourself 🥰 it takes so many people TTC a long time to get a bfp , so just try to stay positive, I find trying not to worry about every symptom because the mind is very powerful and it will totally stress you out which can delay af ive had that so many months xx

My pal's twin pregnancy was a breeze so you never know haha. 🤣

I'm the same, act 12 hahha. I'm always shook when people are my age and look way older! Although having a kid has added 5 years. 👵🏻 Thanks! I work three days, so normally in for two and at home for one. But this week I'm at home for two! Events sounds like too much hard work for me but thanks hahha 😉

I have Irish grandparents! Haha, my husband is African with lots of European heritage too, his parents are mixed etc. Haha I'm with you. but actually we all use factor 50 haha. Yes! He looks more like me by the day, BUT he's got his own nose which cracks me up.
