@Lila34830 My heart goes out to you, we are here for support if you need us.
Such a wise thing to say about the right egg and trusting you body, if only we can be all that positive.
I just tested and its bfn, after what you said i will definitely be testing a week after af is due. Cps are very common as my gp said, l found it very insensitive when she said it, but now thinking about it, it's only natural for our body to select (as u said) the right egg,
Ahhh ttc need so much patience and the ability to leg go.
Wishing a well recovery ❤️‍🩹

Lila34830 · 13/11/2024 09:32

Hey girls thanks so much for your messages 🩷 It's so so nice of you all, the disappointment is obviously there don't get me wrong but I think I also trust my body a lot and I know that it must have done the right thing here if it wasn't meant to last.

Good luck girlies, let's be strong together ! the mental load for women during the ttc period is such a burden, and it's difficult for everybody, but remember that there is a time, a place and a reason for everything so it will come for all of us at the best of time ! ( and also remember my gynaecologist in 2010 who told me " in this day and age being totally infertile with the progress of science is extremely extremely rare" always makes me feel better guys !)

Oh no @Lila34830 im so disappointed for you. But as you say not the right egg 😢 onto the next cycle with lots of hope for you! 🩷 I agree waiting for the LH surge I think is more frustrating than the TWW 🤣 xxx

Morning ladies, I was right to be cautious, period arrived this morning, and test is now negative. I felt like the cramps were so intense for implantation.
So I'm not leaving my dear Dino club yet 🥹 I am a little bit disappointed, but life works in a beautiful way, and I know the body is very picky with which egg deserved to hatch, so im holding on to this. Your enthusiasm was so nice to see though, and I do hope I return the same positivity to you on the daily. Next cycle here we go 🩷 !

Oh no way!!! I feel for you so much 😔. Well done on being so positive about things, I don’t think I’d have the same mind set/courage even though every word you’ve said is 100% correct.

Sendind a big hug and lots of luck for the new cycle! Xx

ThisOchreTiger · 13/11/2024 08:11

Ah @Lila34830 , that's so disappointing. We definitely got over excited on here too! You have a great attitude, and hopefully next month will be yours.
I'm pretty sure I missed my peak this month too (we peaked too soon and had nothing left lol). Am determined to wait until AF and use only digital tests so I don't get my hopes up!

Lila34830 · 13/11/2024 08:06

@Toppstileslover I'm back cycle sis ! Sadly, but not losing hope for next cycle 🤞🏼 staying positive.
We DTD on peak day and couple Times before peak day. I'm planing on doing the same this cycle as I can see it worked even though it didn't stick obviously 😕

Told my husband I was pregnant yesterday but I'm not this morning, I think I shouldn't have given how confused he was and how much explaining I'll have to do about CPs and science now !

When is AF due ? It's not over until it shows up xxx

@Lila34830 oh darling I'm so sorry, moments like these are cruel. It's not fair 😔 do something nice for yourself today xx

I had the same thing happen last month, couple of positives and then just negatives. But honestly I also didn't really believe it, it all just feels so surreal doesn't it. Had a little cry in the shower to myself and then thought, right next cycle.

I hope your AF is ok this month, we're almost on the same cycle, mine due on Thursday.

Thank you lovely ! I'm honestly fine, obviously disappointed but at the same time I'm tryin to find positives such as putting more money in savings for when the time comes for example 😅
I am just annoyed that I did not test every day for the exact purpose on not catching a chemical , and then tested on af day and 1 day post af due and still caught one ! I swear next time I'll literally not test until a week after af is due !

Cycle buddies ! But it's not over for you until AF shows !!

@HE93C I have decided to never symptoms spot again because I honestly felt exactly the same on a positive and negative test ! My only difference was jelly legs lol I don't know how to explain it, I felt very faint ! And hot ! But it's all back to normal now obviously

Thank you @HE93C !
I'm now going to chill for a few days until I start LH testing ! This is probably the worst part of the cycle for me 😅 I hate waiting for the surge !

This is my first time trying to find it!! 😅 but I’m impatient so it is awful, maybe not quite as bad as the TWW when I manage to convince myself all my symptoms are pregnancy symptoms only for them to be period ones haha

Ong just caught up! Congratulations everyone with their positive tests! So exciting.

Im CD7 and started LH testing yesterday twice a day in a home I find my peak so fingers crossed I get it this month!!

Toppstileslover · 12/11/2024 20:52

OMG CYCLE SIS!!!!! That is soooo BFP!!!! @Lila34830 i was literally just scrolling through like a crazy person (have to do the posts chronologically) — soooo happy for you! I too would also tell here and wait a couple of days before telling hubby because you understand and he is a more straightforward transaction 😂

cycle 5 is giving me hope! I did think second cycle was probably pushing it. How many times did you DTD?

you have the best Xmas present for the mother in laws 😂😂😂

I am defo going to preseed this month @Clara202

Is it me or the days get slower when AF due date is near, im CD29 and i juuuuust want to get started in the new cycle already😩

Lila34830 · 12/11/2024 19:11

Thank you darling @KT199 are you gearing up for the SPMEG ?

Yes trying to follow that.. but the scheduling and planning really is a mood killer for me 😂 may just stick to every other day as 3 days in a row after every other day from CD 8 until probably CD18 to cover ovu seems enough 😂🙈

KT199 · 12/11/2024 19:14

littlebluu · 12/11/2024 14:26

We are on a roll Dino's!! 🦖

May the good luck continue throughout! 🤞🤞

@KT199 my fertile window starts today and ovu is predicted between 15th - 18th because all of my apps are saying different 🙈 I'm just going to keep a close eye on the LH tests and hope to see some CM. None thus far and I'm worried as I tested LH yesterday afternoon and was still low at .32 however it's gone back down to .21 this afternoon.. I'm hoping I haven't peaked last night 🤯

It's such a ballache 😆

I don’t think you’ll have missed it, but defo try to LH test twice a day then you shouldn’t miss it! It can fluctuate a little depending on length of your hold!

Mines predicted as 19th (CD15) but I haven’t ovulated on CD15 since July, it’s been a few days either side so I’m not sure if I can trust my prediction either, which is why I think I’ll do some LH testing from CD10/11

Girls good luck for those who are in the 2WW or the ones starting the new cycle ! I am definitely not gone yet and keeping an eye on you all.

Still super cautious on my side, I've had pink light discharge and cramping on back and lower belly all mid day / afternoon but it was for me as intense as period cramping so I'm remaining on the fence. The bleeding would have not filled a panty liner though and not dark at all. It's has now calmed down.
Took a clear blue this afternoon on an hour hold which is positive (just wanted to test whether it was one brand giving me false hope !) I attach the pic but it is positive too as showed up straight away.

I'm just gonna wait a couple days to make sure bleeding does get heavier to tell my husband !

Ahhh this is so exciting really hope this if your BFP!! 🫶🏻

Lila34830 · 12/11/2024 08:30

Hey girls, so I tested this morning with a cheapie strip, and It looked stark white to left it on side , went downstairs, came back upstairs and to my absolute shock there was a line !
I compared it to the same batch (yes, I had to dig in the bin 🤣) and it doesn't look like an indent line or faulty.
Also took another one after with the last bit of wee I had left to make sure it wasn't evap..... it looks like I might have the BFP ... 🥹
( I will still take another this evening on a long hold )

Omg amazing, this is just great remember you thought you missed ovulation but then caught it! ❤️

@KT199 hopefully ! I just had some very light pink discharge which I assume is implantation bleeding so this would tally with yesterday cramps and my low back pain today !
I am 10 or 11 dpo and cycle 5 (including one cycle where I did not ovulate).
We DTD twice only during the LH rise and one on peak day (because we DTD for the full week before and I hadn't had my peak so we had to again !)
I take folic acid vitamin d magnesium vitamin c and vitamin b12
I am putting all the info as I know some of you might ask :)
I shall send another test result soon, regardless of positive or negative, the Dino club deserves to know lol
🫶🏽

AHH oh my gosh congratulations ! Got my fingers crossed for you. In terms of vitamins you take.. are they all in one multivitamin or separate ones ? Any recommendations ?
