Welcome to a wonderful support raft @Muffin7 and @Anyday88 but sorry you find yourselves here.
@Muffin7 glad you slept well and don't worry about those tears - they need to come out! The smallest things made me well up after my MC, that's 100% to be expected- we've just been through the most traumatic thing.
Hope you both find advice and support and a BFP here! 😀

YellowDaffodils86 · 20/04/2018 08:29

@BabynameEdie thats a tough shout. Does look like a bfn, however in some of the pics i can the see the faintest hi t of a line. How many dpo are you? 🤞

PassTheAfterEights · 20/04/2018 08:35

Oh @Boboelephant ☹️ that was quick, so sorry. Fx for the next cycle for you. Are you up to anything this weekend? 🐧♥️

@BabynameEdie ran the third pic through FF lightbox and also see something (it's the third of your pics rotated and cropped) - controlled and tiny eek... 🤞🤞🤞

Had the same myself on a cheapie last night and this morning but absolutely refuse to take it seriously. If dates were off, the absolute latest I could have conceived would make me 14dpo today, not 17, and what I thought might have been implantation pains on the 6th/7th could have been ovulation pains. Haven't had a single symptom of AF/pregnancy/anything else in about five days now though so feel it's a stretch.

@Daffodil77 thank you x there's a shred of hope for me then, if AF doesn't show today I'll use my last FRER tomorrow am.

@Boboelephant so sorry about AF

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 08:56

@Boboelephant sorry the witch showed. But it's true a 2019 baby is just as perfect. Were you expecting AF? Or as it a few days early?

@BabynameEdie I think I see something. Can you crack open a frer? I didn't get anything on an IC until about 15/16dpo even then it wasn't too clear where as the frer was very much there.

@PassTheAfterEights ooh can't wait to see your frer tomorrow. 🤞🏻

BabynameEdie · 20/04/2018 09:01

@PassTheAfterEights oooh what's a lightbox?!
@YellowDaffodils86 yeah totally feel it's probs a bfn. Not even annoyed just want to know one way or the other so can start next cycle.
@Cakelaur I've just left home with no tests..so I'll do a frer tomorrow! Allows it to keep darkening if it's a yes. Probs not though
Thanks ladies xx

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 09:02

@BabynameEdie when is AF due?

BabynameEdie · 20/04/2018 09:03

@Cakelaur no idea! Natural cycles says either tomorrow or sometime in the next 7 days! 😂

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 09:05

@BabynameEdie oh!! 😂🤣😂 WELL.... I guess just keep poas until she shows!! Hahaha. But I do see something!!

PassTheAfterEights · 20/04/2018 09:06

@BabynameEdie the fertility friend app (downloaded for this reason alone, for now anyway) has a function called lightbox that allows you to invert / grayscale a test pic for clarity. And a line reader - and the line reader especially (the ugly black pic at the bottom) is picking up a line. It's free for a month then an extortionate £10/m so this will be the only month I have it!

PassTheAfterEights · 20/04/2018 09:07

Thanks @Cakelaur desperately trying not to get hopes up so in a way would reeeeaally like AF to show today! Will keep you posted x

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 09:11

@BabynameEdie I’m so rubbish unless it’s a obvious line. The edited image that passtheaftereights did looks like a line. Fingers crossed.

BabynameEdie · 20/04/2018 09:12

@PassTheAfterEights that's super cool. Thank you so much for using it for me in your only month! Maybe I should get it when yours runs out so we have two months free between us?!

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 09:15

Yesterday morning after doing a dance class with my daughter I got some brown spotting on wiping. So AF I thought would follow- which I’m totally okay with this month with not trying. But no AF yet! Argh! I was kinda hoping it would come so I can be on a clean slate for my appointment next week.

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 10:07

@Primrose16.... IB!!!!! 🤞🏻

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 10:17

@Cakelaur you said that last time to me 😂

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 10:27

And was I right?! Yes I was!!

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 10:35

Plus of course any sort of bleeding is IB!! Even if it's AF! 🙈

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 10:54

@Cakelaur 😂
You were right. I don’t know how I would feel if you are right this time

L1zz13 · 20/04/2018 11:11

Have AF 36 days post mc phew! Onwards and upwards.

@dulwichdays I found my heart rate increased more just before AF than it did before O in my fit bit.

Anyday88 · 20/04/2018 11:17

Thank you @BabynameEdie. I feel very strange at the moment, like I want to get on and start trying again but my body isn't as ready as my head at the moment! If that makes any sense!

I have my fingers crossed and hope those tests are positive for you x

Boboelephant · 20/04/2018 11:31

Thanks @Muffin7, @Daffodil77, @YellowDaffodils86, @dulwichdays and @Primrose16. You are right, I'd rather just crack on then wait and have the cow show up anyway! My cycles are a bit random since MC- 33, 32, 30 and 34. But they often swayed before too. @Muffin7 let the tears come. It's important to grieve.
@BabynameEdie thanks hun! I see a little something in that third one! Ooh!! Hope it gets darker tomorrow!!!
@PassTheAfterEights yeah I know. At least I'm not going to spend the next few days having false hope. I think you might be getting a bfp soon!!! Waiting with baited breath for tomorrow!!!! Having a nice sunny bbq tonight so that's good. 🌞
@Cakelaur yep 2019 is just as good, it was just another stupid failed milestone. I just so want to be pregnant again. C'mon Jan baby!! After my late ovulation they were predicting af for tomorrow so only 1 day early. I was kinda expecting my chart to drop below coverline which it hasn't but I'm still new to it all. At least it's not late.
@Primrose16 when you say you are not trying this month have you actually been preventing?
I had my scan this morning- they said af doesn't matter for an internal. And the good news is that both ovaries look good with lots of eggs still. Still see doc in 3 weeks for blood test results but relieved that ovaries are ok and mum's psychic was wrong. You know you've been trying too long when you start worrying because of that!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@L1zz13 glad you can start moving forward.

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 11:38

@Primrose16.... seeeeee!! Defo IB!! When are you testing!!! When is AF due?

@Boboelephant I'm so pleased for you that the scan all went well. And the mind can defo play tricks on you and what you worry about. I had a crazy dream the other day that I used my puppy as a fly away and broke is neck!!! Talk about anxious new puppy mum!!! 🙈

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 12:03

@Boboelephant glad your scan went well. What is it with mums and stressing us out. My mum was banging on about my hubby’s blood type and saying that that could be the reason that I keep miscarrying. Not that I need to be hearing.
Not prevented, I think what I mean is Last month we were on it as soon as I thought I was fertile. Although we haven’t prevented I haven’t kept track, we had sex once because we wanted rather than for baby making. I don’t even know where in my cycle I was so might not have been in fertile window etc. Does that make sense. 😕
