Hi, I have an app to read the ovulation strips but it's saying it low. I'm expected to ovulate today or tomorrow. It looks really dark to me.
I'll attach a photo

Bbt dropped all the way down so expecting af today.

mountainlass · 03/06/2024 04:45

@emmatcc1 @Bambin0 oh girls I am so so sorry, I am behind you both every step and have everything crossed for June. We need to all remember to look after ourselves, this journey is so challenging & emotionally draining ❤️

emmatcc1 · 02/06/2024 22:22

@Bambin0 Sorry af arrived but new cycle new chance. I actually have tested but not fmu and diluted urine and it was negative. Not sure how much chance there is for a bfp after 14dpo. We’ll see what happens tomorrow.

Bambin0 · 02/06/2024 22:16

@emmatcc1 @mountainlass oh my goodness girls I've totally missed a chunk 😊🫣 so sorry, it's been a hectic 2 days. AF arrived yesterday and I've been so upset, then I've been ill with the progesterone drop, so can't get off the toilet. But anyway that's that.

@mountainlass Aaaah my god I absolutely love seeing this, look at those lines 🥹💕 amazing!! absolutely made my night seeing that. And yes you're right Emma -'you're pregnant now' and that's what matters but we totally get where it's coming from and your worries. Bless you 🥰 and congratulations 🎉👏🏼 wishing you all the healthiest of stickiness
@emmatcc1 that is a really good sign, and you haven't tested at all? Wow the will power of an almighty lol I could never. 😂 But good on you girls 💕 loving this wee chat

@emmatcc1 honestly thank you for such beautiful words & advice. I needed to hear that, when I first seen the lines I started crying with anxiety instead of being happy and that's not the way it should be at all. We are going to see how the lines progress over the next few days and just stay positive that things will be okay this time. I will definitely be getting an early scan around 7 weeks with the NHS because of what happened loosing our daughter. Her post mortem revealed she most likely had osteogenesis imperfecta type 2 which is a rare genetic condition that affects bone development. The doctor said it's highly unlikely we are genetic carriers and this was a random occurrence but it still carries a small risk of recurrence. It's been such a hard few months and you're right, no point in worrying until we need to ❤️

It's a very good sign your period hasn't came yet, there's every chance this is your month too. Please keep me updated I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the luck 🌈✨

emmatcc1 · 02/06/2024 10:50

@mountainlass Oh my god that is amazing!!!🎉🎉💕 I can imagine how scary this must be but I’m sure everything will be just fine this time. It’s important to keep stress away as much as possible and be optimistic. Today you are pregnant and that’s what matters. I wish I would’ve appreciated my last pregnancy more and not worried if it’s gonna be viable or not. Will you be having an early scan?

I was so sure 2 days ago that af will be early as I kept on having mild cramps. Then yest I was having these cramps again and we were out shopping when I started to feel a bit wet down there and I was sure it was af but nothing. I’m not testing because I don’t want to be disappointed if it’s negative.

mountainlass · 02/06/2024 10:33

@emmatcc1 that's so promising! I have everything crossed that you get your positive that would just be amazing!!! ❤️

Update from me - I was chatting to my partner last night and told him I didn't think this was our month & to prepare for a negative test. We decided to do one last night (9dpo) expecting it to be stark negative but we seen something!! I re tested again this morning 10 dpo and there is a faint line. It is much more clearer in person compared to the pic. We are being very cautious and trying not to get too excited yet as both my previous pregnancies have ended in a late loss & chemical pregnancy. We are terrified of something happening again but we have hope. Praying this is our rainbow baby 🌈❤️

Well instead of af arriving today my bbt went back up. Haven’t done a test as I’m convinced af will arrive either later today or tomorrow.

emmatcc1 · 31/05/2024 23:02

The talk went great, he’s super supportive and said he’s been thinking of getting a sperm analysis done just in case.
@mountainlass We’re going to Croatia end of June for a one day trip. You’re still so early, hoping you get a bfp but if not then at least no morning sickness on your trip.
@Bambin0 I actually use a regular thermometer and I measure vaginally as it gives more accurate result and less fluctuations in the graph even if you take your temp at different time each day.
I’ve attempted supplements (folic acid, b12, b6, d3) for 2 months and it brought ovulation forward to cd11 which was too soon so I stopped and haven’t taken anything since.
If you want to you can take a conception vitamin but you’ll need to research as I have no clue what’s good.
I’ve been using flo for years and didn’t know you can link accounts. I might try this and it’s so cheap.

@emmatcc1 @Bambin0 so sorry to both of you, it is so emotionally draining all this. I've not tested yet but my confidence for this month is dropping, if it's negative we are all in it together for next month ❤️ My fiance and me are away to Rome mid June so atleast if this isn't my month I can treat myself to a few wines on holiday, would have loved to have been pregnant though to be in our own little bubble.

@emmatcc1 I think that's a good idea talking to your partner, I felt the same issue a few months ago and things have been so much better. My partner now knows my cycle, when I'm ovulating, how many dpo I am and it makes me feel less alone now he understands. Hope this helps you too x

There's still so much hope left in it for you darling, don't get down so soon 💕 but yes I totally get the heavy weight of it all. Bless you all who have trying for a long time. I think I'd give it 6 months at a time then come away from it cause this consumes you genuinely.
But yes lovely we all have each other to keep on pushing on with along the way 🤞🏼
Haha 😆 yeah that's definitely a perk for holidays. I don't smoke or drink so when I got my negatives I couldn't even turn round and go "oh well I'll get to enjoy.... For another month" but it's not a bad thing.

I'm gonna buy a thermometer etc and start properly tracking and taking the right supplements. @emmatcc1 any tips and tricks?

@Bambin0 So sorry, looks like we have another cycle together ahead of us.
I’m gonna have a talk today with my partner as I feel so alone in this. I really want him to be more involved in this as he literally has no clue where in cycle am I and how long we have been trying.

Oh love I totally understand. That's so strange cause I literally just had this chat with my partner today after the sad news. But I bought Flo premium, it was like £27 for the year. It links my partner like a joint account and it tells him every morning where I'm at, our chances of conception each day. It even tells him how I may be feeling (possible symptoms to expect due to where I'm at in my cycle) AND little quizzes for us.
Totally helps because I'll come in and he already knows and does research and suggests things before I even get a chance to look at the app myself after a busy day.

Also if you are really feeling it I'd be happy to pm you my WhatsApp and to maybe offer that little more of a shoulder to lean on. I know I'm a stranger essentially lol 😆 but believe me I know what you're feeling. Sending lots of love and hugs. I hope this helps 🩷

@mountainlass so sorry my love 💕 but I hope you had a nice time with your friend still. It's good to have a distraction from all this poas malarki. Keep us posted on your progress 🩷

@emmatcc1 I'm sorry love 😘 we can try again.

I'm also out. Sadly ....
I'm in a foul mood and cramping. She's coming I just know it. Stark negative early detection cheapies and frer. So disheartening but we try again this month coming🤞🏼🙏🏼

OP posts:
emmatcc1 · 31/05/2024 15:23

I’ve just done a test and it’s negative so I’m definitely out.

emmatcc1 · 31/05/2024 11:08

@Bambin0 Doing good. Bbt dropped a tiny bit but not enough to say if af is on the way.
I haven’t done anymore tests.

mountainlass · 31/05/2024 11:05

@Bambin0 that's all good symptoms, hoping for a positive result on your FRER 🤞How many dpo are you now?

I'm 8dpo today and still not tested, I'm going to try and hold out till Monday morning first urine, I'll be 11 dpo by then and using an early test so whatever the results is I suppose it will most likely be accurate & I won't need to keep second guessing! Going out for lunch with a friend and her baby soon, I've not seen her much following the loss of my daughter as I've found it really difficult but trying to be strong ❤️

Bambin0 · 31/05/2024 10:48

How are you girls this morning?

Still sore boobs, not hungry at all. Less nausea. Lots of cramps and back pain (baring in mind this started very early dpo maybe 5-7)
Testing with frer tonight.
Have you guys tested again since?

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 19:10

@Bambin0 That’s a good ideas. Frer should clear out the confusion.
I’ve been having some mild cramps all day, af is probably gonna be early this month again.

Trying not to think about it, roll on Sunday 😬🤭
Hold on in there love, could be either or 💕

Bambin0 · 30/05/2024 17:49

I've ordered first response for tomorrow girls so I'll be using those since I've just read they measure as little as 6.2mui of hcg or however it's spelled. And I think come then and even that's negative I'll leave it till AF. X

@Xxfifixx89 @emmatcc1 @mountainlass
Thank you so much for the support and hope girls ❤️ I haven't tested again. I'm gonna test tomorrow evening probably as I'm away with family right now. The wait will kill me. Lol 😆 I should be 12dpo by then so really hoping I start to see some line progression at least x

OP posts:
mountainlass · 30/05/2024 11:46

@Bambin0 so sorry you've not got your clear positive today, testing early is so hard :( try again this evening or even tomorrow morning if you can manage. Hopefully you see progression ❤️

In March when I had my chemical pregnancy I still waited until 11 dpo to test and got my faint positive, it actually got darker the next few days and was looking really good. I stopped testing for a few days then tried my digital and I got the result "not pregnant". It was devastating so I know how you're feeling when the result is disappointing and you get your hopes up. Try and distract yourself and do something nice for yourself today x

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 10:54

@Xxfifixx89 Oh okay must have been evaps when you first got positive tests.

Xxfifixx89 · 30/05/2024 10:27

emmatcc1 · 30/05/2024 10:21

@Xxfifixx89 That’s odd. Have you done more bloods or more tests to track progression?
@Bambin0 If bbt starts to drop that means af is on the way. Bbt is actually a way to track progesterone. The rise after ovulation happens because progesterone rises and then by the end of the cycle when progesterone drops so af can arrive the bbt also drops. I feel way too normal to be pregnant.

Yes done several and attached the last few days and i have ordered a clear blue digital to take at weekend. I feel dreadful though but currently away so not sure if its the heat making me feel sick. I was using the internet cheapies that confirmed it, then done a FRER and boots early and all positive. The ones below are the clear and simple cheap ones from home and bargains. Xx
