June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

@hollyhocks2thank you. From research, it seems it’s a real common issue sadly. Just frustrating that it seemed to show within the timeframe. I’ve not had it show up before. I’m pretty sure they’re not genuine. This was Friday evening (couldn’t help myself 🙄) and all tests have been stark white, or negative since. TTC my 2nd. First was born 2023 and I’d not been on any contraception for 6 years. We were trying, but not trying for about 4 years, then properly for 2. I’d had scans and was just about to go for more testing when I fell the first time. Didn’t go on any contraception after and didn’t want to leave it too long before TTC again as didn’t want to miss any potential chance. How about you?

@Kerrylfoh isn’t it so frustrating! Honestly so evil 😔 the first test I took with my MC pregnancy was the ultra early digital and it came up positive straight away, this was the day I was due AF though. I think they’re quite sensitive. It seems this is the only brand I can find locally that have the early/sensitive ones. Maybe il look at ordering online? Can’t seem to find the FRER anywhere else. I feel like I’ve become obsessed with testing since my loss? Maybe just clinging onto some kind of hope. I had cramps at 9&10dpo, more so at 10 which is why I tested. Thank you. Fingers crossed for you too, although i definitely feel like I’m out for this month.

@ForGiddyDreameri think I read that the advanced tests should only be used once a day with first morning wee. Multiple uses might throw the reader off potentially and you aren't actually in your peak yet. Have a read but I deffo saw that somewhere when I bought them myself x

@Starlightnightsi think I ovulated 10th July so similar and I got those exact lines on the clearblue this cycle and last and I'll never buy them again, it's so cruel! I took an FRER one and was negative but I'm holding out now for AF as I think it's having a negative impact testing so much. Only taken me 6 months to realise this ha! Got my fingers crossed for you.

@hollyhocks2no, I just had it taken 7 days before expected period. The results are named Serum oestradiol level and Gonadotrophin level. I have the figures and they all say normal.

PS so much for not stressing over ovulation tests 😂🙃

Thanks @Kerrylf & @hollyhocks2 He's only home 20 mins, definitely not happening tonight. Will do tomorrow though. So strange though I've no usual ov signs. My cm isn't eg white or anything, it's almost cloudy. There's no way I've missed it! I have a CB pink holder upstairs and did it and it was showing low fertility. I wonder was my pee just super concentrated. I did test with the advanced this morning and got low fertility and then tested again in the afternoon and got the static.

@Starlightnights this is wild, CB need to have a word with themselves! Outrageous if evaps. I'm no expert but you sound confident they're sadly not genuine positives. So sorry about your loss in feb. It's shit. Was that your first pregnancy? Welcome btw.

@Kerrylf did you have blood tests on 2 different days of your cycle?

@rainbowsnack fingers crossed!

@ForGiddyDreamer your cycle sounds like mine I think, and this is my 4th time conceiving, if that's any comfort or not I'm not sure! Cos obviously I have had the two losses before and this one is v v v early days. In fact I realised I've never found out this early before, 3w 2d aka CD 24 / 11DPO. But yeah, sorry about DP just getting back tonight, timing could be better. If he can be persuaded to BD tonight and/or tomorrow you would absolutely have a chance though. Imagine if you were trying to prevent pregnancy, you'd 100% avoid tonight and tomorrow!! Good luck x

same test, the first pic is after 10 mins and the second is about 2 mins after taking. They have colour in real life.

I’d also like to say, before I got my first positive back in June, my Apple Watch notified me to say that my resting heart rate had been higher for 5 days! Never happened before and this is what prompted me to test!

Hi, really late but I’d like to join please!
Been TTC since February.
I got several positive tests from 10th June and great line progression to I stopped testing after I got to 2-3w on CB digital. Sadly I started bleeding a couple of weeks later and EPU confirmed an early miscarriage 💔
OPKs said I ovulated around 9th July which I think would make me 11dpo (I’ve not had a period since the MC bleed)
I’ve had a few evap lines in the last few days, all on CB! One of which showed during the time frame! I knew it was an evap because it was really thin, il try and upload a pic! Not holding out much hope as the rest have been negative since.
I feel like I’ve been driving myself mad scrutinising these damn tests when they’re clearly just evaps, just feels so unfair when they do that! 😩🤦‍♀️
Best of luck to everyone 🍀 xx

@ForGiddyDreamerI for my static smiley on CD9 this cycle and it's my first time using these. I did get what I thought was the start of ovulation pain CD8 late evening though. It worries me I ovulate too early for it to be a healthy egg.

Got my blood results back after a fertility panel was done and it all says normal, app with docs on Wednesday to discuss but I can't see that they tested progesterone ? Still waiting on the ultrasound appointment xx

@ForGiddyDreamer I don't use those tests but I would assume OV will be within 24-36 hours like you say. Try for tonight, but if not tomorrow morning 🤞🏻

@rainbowsnack hopefully it was implantation 🤞🏻

I'm on 6 or 7 DPO (I think I may have ovulated on the 13th not 100% sure though) and had some very light cramping the last couple of days so I'm hoping that's a positive sign XD

I worry that I ovulate too soon! I see on here people saying they don't ov until cd 16 or even 21. Some months I get the static on cd 11, others it's cd 13. But my luteal phase is always 13-14 days.

@ForGiddyDreameroh wow you ovulate early don't you! I won't get my peak until next Sunday.
Jump on him tonight if you can! But either way tomorrow gives you a really good chance too ! Xx

Fuck sake, got a static smiley on my ovulation test. DP will be home about 10pm tonight. I doubt he'll be in the mood. Will make an effort to bd tomorrow but that's really going to be it, isn't it? He's been gone since Thursday so we haven't bd since maybe last Monday. Ovulation is usually 24-36 hours later. Who else does those tests?

@NatalieSF best of luck 🤞🏻

@Nightshift110 I would say probably around now. Were you tracking ovulation? Do you have a rough idea when you conceived? As you say though, you may not get one. I've seen lots of people on here never get one and have healthy pregnancies.

5+5 today , when should I expect a 3+, if I'm going to get one !

8dpo today been trying not to think about test day this TWW and did well up until today. I actually thought I was only 6dpo till I checked but now I know I'm 8 I'm impatient for testing lol no real symptoms although have been quite lethargic and my legs have been restless but no idea if it's related. Hoping to test at 10dpo but have a feeling I might cave tomorrow. 9dpo is my earliest bfp from previous pregnancies.

Sending baby dust to all

@ChaE05 I'm starting to wonder is low progesterone my issue also. Or is just back luck?

@amey44 I've not used the cough syrup but when we used conceive plus lube in the month we got our BFP. I read the same as you, that it just doesn't kill the sperm. Obviously, it was a loss for me but at least we conceived.

@hollyhocks2 I've never understood those guidelines. Why wait for bleeding to start? It should be preventative. The EPU (in Ireland) told me they'll scan me and start me on progesterone straight away if I catch again.

Thank you @ChaE05 that's lovely of you. I'm 35 (DP 37) so not much younger. Our stories sound similar. NICE guidelines recommend that after 2 miscarriages a GP can prescribe progesterone once a new pregnancy has begun if there is bleeding. I don't think all GPs would prescribe it without bleeding but others argue there is no harm in it.
I'm praying that it's just a matter of time for you and me to get our rainbows. And hopefully not much longer ✨ what CD are you?

@ThatNimbleOP oh I'm so sorry, hope you can have a quiet sad Sunday, with films / chocolate/ whatever helps. You're allowed to wallow.

@amey44 it's tiring trying to stay positive all the time. Hope you're ok.

3dpo today and starting to get really nervous incase it’s a bfn again. I’ve not got pregnant any other time so i’m thinking why would I this time especially when our issue is my partners sperm:/

I did try to do the cough syrup this cycle as that apparently helps the sperm swim but I stopped taking it day 13 as i’m pretty sure it delayed my ovulation? We did successfully use the conceive plus lube though so i’m hoping that helps even though i’ve just read it doesn’t actually help just doesn’t kill sperm like other lubes

@ThatNimbleOP aww, I'm sorry AF arrived. It sounded so positive for you. But it seems like your hormones are getting ready again so that's good.

Oh @hollyhocks2 delighted for you ❤️
