Hi ladies...

Here we go again..

I'm currently CD 12 and have just got my static smiley and a HIGH on my E@H. We're doing the deed as much as we can and will continue to do so for the next few days, haha.

I haven't obsessed so much this month, and it's taken lots of the stress away.

Fingers crossed for us all and join in if you want to do the TWW together!

Hi all - I took a month away from the forums because I was struggling. Back into month 5 of trying since my most recent loss (no kids yet), CD3 after a long cycle that gave me false hope and made me feel even worse!

Still have a tiny inkling of hope for a 2024 baby, 3 more months to see if that can turn into reality (or at least a bfp to give it an opportunity!). I appreciate the bfp is only the first step on the journey but it would be nice to get one sooner rather than later!

Actually there’s a really faint line in the boots test too even though it’s diluted. I’ll do a one step again tomorrow morning

Hope you don’t mind me joining. I just turned 40. I have a dd through my fourth round of IVF. No success since. Due to this and now my age, I just gave up and accepted I’d only have the one which I was lucky to have. Then last month, (week of my 40th) period is late and positive digital. I was shocked, sadly it was a chemical and lost it at 5 weeks. Now I am 12dpo and feel similar to last month so did a cheap one step and I got a line I think! Can anyone else see it?

I defo see a line!!! Tentative congratulations. Keep us updated <3

Yes it was within time frame. I then did a boots test later (no real hold). TMI looked diluted and BFN. I wonder if false positives are common with one steps? Only 12dpo so I guess still early

Definitely - the 2WW is brutal!!

Thanks that's really insightful - I have another 2 clear blue so I will do one first thing tomorrow morning and then tomorrow try to get hold of some pink ones & see what happens. Should know by Thursday either way with AF...
wishing you the best of luck!! keep us updated x

Likewise lovely, keep us updated, too, and fingers crossed for you! I can definitely see it looks positive. I'm just super sceptical with them now! Xx

Hi
me too! At the end of 2WW. Af due Thursday but not sure when I ovulated! I took a test today but can’t quite interpret it. I did take it in the afternoon, but soo frustrating when not clear!!

Hi lovely

I'm just at the beginning for myself, haha. It's the longest two weeks isn't it! I've had my peak OPK yesterday/today.

I can definitely see a line there however! I used 7 clear blue ultra early last month and all came up positive. I actually wasn't pregnant. All red dye tests were negative. Very very misleading. I'd definitely get some red dye tests and have another go tomorrow/couple days x

Hello,
CD7 today so just starting to test for my peak, which will hopefully be next week.
It’s our first proper month of deciding to actually try, so not expecting much but always good to have hope! 🤞

Hi lovely,

It's such a drag, isn't it? It feels even more so when planning or actively trying for a baby!

I'm CD13 today and had a high reading yesterday of the strips, so we are just DTD as much as humanly, possibly with 4 other kids, haha!!

Is this your first baby? You never know. It only takes one session. 🤞🤞🤞
