@starryx ohhh sounds promising!! When are you testing?

im just waiting now after doing a test at 8dpo bfn obviously. Dont know why I bothered 😂 to be honest i feel fine, no pms symptoms but also nothing else to report so I guess I will see. Every month its different x

Hopefully:))) testing either next Monday or Tuesday, when I get chance
And aw fingers crossed you never know could still happen as 8dpo is still quite early x

@H938 Aww God, those bfn kill me..
I know that I'm being that confident about feeling pregnant that I'm probably not to be honest...
Pre mom says I'm 9dpo, flo says 8.. I can't be exactly sure which day I ovulated anymore.
Are you just going to wait until AF date? Was it your digital you used?

@KittyFantastica congratulations 🎉

i had my static smiley today! Really hope it’s ovulation! It’s early in my typical cycles but as they’re so irregular i test early as it’s hard to tell! I had 5 flashy smiles and then static today so 🤞🏻!

I managed to hold for three and a half hours. All I had was cheapies and one from Clearblue fertility tracker (not the ovulation sticks), and I think... I think this is the beginnings of something.

Congrats!!! Did you see any symptoms or?

@starryx any updates - not heard from you, you must be around 11/12 dpo?

Hi :) well I've work up feeling really tired/headache /going hot and cold today - 11dpo currently! Next few days are crucial to seeing thus month. Had no cramps since..so I'm thinking it was implantation cramps

How's your journey going? :)

@LuceNumberTwo well I gave in and tested obviously BFN as it would be at 8dpo 😂 now im deffo waiting til AF as its pointless. I dont have any symptoms really im trying not to over think it all x

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 12:18

@H938 Noooo I haven't! I'm very much trying to wait until Monday! 🙈
After today I've got quite alot going on so I'm going to try keeping myself occupied!
How are you doing? Any symptoms etc? X

Noisinmaro · 05/01/2024 11:16

Congrats on the BFP, also love seeing people get them...gives me hope, hopefully my luck will turn....

H938 · 05/01/2024 11:08

@LuceNumberTwo are you testing today or waiting til monday. Im on edge for you 😂

H938 · 05/01/2024 10:46

@Wyewaving Perfect!! Now is your time. Fingers crossed for you!! Have you been dtd every day anyway? I never know what the right way to do it is. Il be honest the times I have been pregnant i have literally done it once and fallen! Very lucky. This time im on second month trying (first month i ovulated a lot later and didnt come on til later too) this month I really hope I caught!! Will have to wait and see. Also very optimistic thinking I will be so lucky again i know x

Wyewaving · 05/01/2024 10:31

@H938 I had a flashing face this morning with FMU. I looked at the CB website last night and they recommend using FMU, I was doing it later in the day as I’d read that you should ovulation test in the afternoon 🙈

@KittyFantastica Huge congratulations! You must be over the moon. I conceived on the first cycle aged 35 with my first so it’s definitely possible. I can relate to the feelings of cheating though, I didn’t feel like I could tell people how quick it had been! Enjoy your pregnancy 😊

RacketDS242 · 05/01/2024 09:50

Hi love to join thread I'm 42 ttc 3rd baby partner 39. My current children from first marriage so this will be a first for us as a couple. Been ttc 2 years one pregnancy which resulted in MC in July 2023. Booked in for accupuncture next week. Using ovulation tests should ovulate this weekend fingers crossed.

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 08:58

@KittyFantastica wow!!! Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking how many dpo did you see your line? 💖💖

I can't be 100% certain as both my ovulation trackers failed to detect a surge last month! But I suspect I am 10/11/12DPO. I was due to ovulate on Christmas Eve accordingly to both Clue and Flo, and I ovulated day 13/14 for four months in a row previously.

@SequinCola Thank you lovely ❤️. I'm so sorry to see your lines are disappeared. Hubs and I are hyper aware that we are now in a different kind of waiting game to see if our little poppy seed sticks around. Everything crossed for you for next time.

GoldenArrow · 05/01/2024 09:34

Ended up DTD on CD17 as that's when flo claims I'm ovulating (which was yesterday). Did it on 31st too because Google claimed I'd ovulate either 31st or 1st Jan. Trying to cover both dates 🤣 I remember my boobs being really sore on 31st so maybe it was then. Not due til Jan 15th so time will tell.

GoldenArrow · 05/01/2024 09:32

Congrats on BFPs! That's amazing.

I'm not due my period until Jan 15th. Feel I've ages to go before I can test!

LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 09:01

@Mummysparrow I'm really sorry to hear about your dog.. They are like your children 🥺 big loves to you! Hopefully by the time you ovulate you might be in a better mind frame. Take the time for yourself if you need it 💖💖

SlinkMcSlink · 05/01/2024 08:54

@Mummysparrow sorry to hear that.

Mummysparrow · 05/01/2024 08:53

@LuceNumberTwo yeah we will try again the next cycle. Part of me says I should stop and focus on my mental health after losing my dog and being on the verge of being signed off work with stress but I kind of need something to focus on.

SequinCola · 05/01/2024 08:50

Massive congratulations @KittyFantastica! Fantastic news!

After days of pale lines on tests I've just taken a digital and its a BFN. Period is 4 days late so another chemical. Just have to wait and see what happens now. Unlikely that we'll be able to try next month because my husband is on a work trip.

I'm sad, but have to pull myself together as I've got my toddler today.

KittyFantastica · 05/01/2024 08:43

I tried again with the other digital this morning after a night hold and the results are in. I'm still in total shock, I really can't believe it.

First cycle, aged 35. It feels unreal and almost like cheating. I ovulated either Christmas Eve, Christmas Day or Boxing Day, and already feel cramping and light nausea.

Let's hope it sticks with us 🤞

TTC FOR JANUARY
LuceNumberTwo · 05/01/2024 08:38

@Mummysparrow I'm sorry to hear this 🥺 are you trying again next cycle? 🤞🥰

How's everyone doing today?
I'm feeling really sick this morning.. My partner had to get up & let me lay in x

H938 · 05/01/2024 07:44

@KittyFantastica Congratulations!! Love seeing people getting BFPs on here x

@Mummysparrow sorry youre out this month! Hopefully you get lucky next month!!

Saying that I do literally think it is luck because the science of it is simple yet still doesnt work 9 out of 10 times!!
