Oh @OntoTheThird how confusing! Hope tomorrow goes well and it's a miracle baby! I'm surprised they wouldn't do an internal scan. How many weeks would you be?

@OntoTheThird how stressful for you. Great that they can scan you tomorrow so you're not waiting long to find out. fingers crossed for you Flowers

I did yet another test this morning... it showed the faintest of faint squinters. Less dark even than the extremely faint line I got on Thursday evening. So I'm pretty sure that I'm out for this cycle. I'm around 11dpo and due AF tomorrow or monday, but it seems like lines should only get darker, rather than disappear/get fainter. So disappointed!

DaisyMay25 · 28/04/2018 14:12

@OntoTheThird oh no, fx for tomorrow 

@Sloeberrygin how confusing! I'm gonna test tomorrow and hope for something but I'm beginning to think I just see lines everywhere now. Hopefully AF keeps away for you

@Cakelaur enjoy the holiday! Don't miss your puppy too much

hayleyfx · 28/04/2018 14:45

Oh well everyone... af arrived!! So I’m back to CD1. I’m feeling kind of relieved and positive today, I much prefer af arriving than being stuck in limbo. DP was so sweet, he told me that he’s going to do everything he possibly can to get me pregnant next month 🤣 so we’ll see haha!!
I’m going online shopping now... OPK’s, hpt’s, Preseed. I swear I have so much fun buying this stuff 🤣

hayleyfx · 28/04/2018 14:46

@Ontothethird oh no I’m sorry!! I have my fingers crossed that you have a little miracle bean in there 🤞 good luck for your scan tomorrow, I know how nervous you must feel! Flowers

DaisyMay25 · 28/04/2018 15:02

@hayleyfx enjoy the shopping! Haha fx for you this month!

Another pregnancy announcement on my Facebook just now, they haven't even been together that long. I think I need to find a cushion to scream into.
Sorry for the rant, just needed to vent.

YellowDaffodils86 · 28/04/2018 17:24

@DaisyMay25 glad im not the only one who has these moments. Facebook friend and ex colleague put up 4d scan video, amazing but made me sad.
Also sodding babies everywhere today. Where the hell is mine!

Sorry to all that are in limbo/af arrived/going through yet more turmoil. I truly hope positive outcomes happens where possible.
Life is really shit and sooo unfair sometimes.

@Boboelephant @BabynameEdie and there is one more of us too??
How do you feel approaching FW?? Stocked up on opks and hpts today!

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 18:01

@hayleyfx glad you're not stuck in limbo. Know what you mean about relief AF is here, at least then we know where we are (and know FW is around the corner!). So...tell me about preseed?!

@YellowDaffodils86 yep am here with you! Apparently (according to natural cycles woo & charting) FW starts tomorrow and I need to start opks today so here we go again 😆 but I'm only on CD7 so am not sure... in my old cycles ovulation was usually CD12-15 but last month was like CD21 or something! Guess dh and I need to cover all bases - we're aiming for once if not twice a day from tomorrow til AF arrives. Wish us luck! 🤸‍♀️⛹️‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️😂

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 18:02

@DaisyMay25 urgh I know, it just feels so painful when you hear another announcement doesn't it. It's made me realise how sensitive we should all be when announcing (if that ever happens for me!) as so many people are going through what we are.. x

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 18:05

@Sloeberrygin I'm so sorry you're in this limbo / confusion. So you had dark lines and now they're fainter? Sorry I'm not v good at keeping track, but think that's what's happened? I'm not v experienced at lines / squinters etc so not sure I've got much advice other than waiting it out until AF arrives (or doesn't - fingers crossed). Sorry it's so horrible being in limbo isn't it 💕☀️

YellowDaffodils86 · 28/04/2018 18:56

@BabynameEdie my app has ov day at cd 21 however prev i have ov at cd 14. Post mc it was cd21/22 but following week long bleed, so who knows whats accurate.
So im on cd 8... er FW is here🤔🤔🤷🏻‍♀️
I keep reading how every other day for BD is better so i might try this and try not to worry about not doing it every day... we will se ha!

hayleyfx · 28/04/2018 18:59

@DaisyMay25 thank you!! It was great fun haha 🤣
@BabynameEdie yeah as soon as af arrives I get over it pretty quickly and start planning for the new cycle!! Much better than limbo. Oh I decided I’m going to try preseed (or a similar conception gel) as - okay this is going to be TMI 😂... but sometimes dp and I are just knackered after work & want to get the deed over and done with quick so we can go to sleep 🤣🤣 (oh dear we sound like a pair of grandparents but we have been together since we were 15 so naturally the romance is gone 🤣) so I think preseed will at least help with that!! I’ve heard lots of good reviews about it, we’ll see I guess!

Boboelephant · 28/04/2018 19:08

Sorry @Sloeberrygin. Always disappointing! I hope it was just fluctuating hormones and af stays away.
@hayleyfx I'm sorry af got you but I'm also glad for you. This has been the longest most confusing cycle for you so at least you can crack onto the next one now!
@DaisyMay25 and @YellowDaffodils86 yep. Announcements can be the worst!!!
@YellowDaffodils86 yep it's us, @BabynameEdie and @PassTheAfterEights who are about the same this month. I feel ok but confused as the last two months I ovulated day 17 and then day 22 so no idea what's going to happen this month! CD9 today so feel like I am gearing up to it but also feel like it could be weeks away too! I've had watery cm the last 2 days so ff reckons it's go time. Not too sure myself!!
@BabynameEdie holy crap!! Cd8 until af!? So possibly like 27 days??? The London Marathon runners would have nothing on you. Stay hydrated! 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Sloeberrygin · 28/04/2018 19:49

@hayleyfx good you're feeling positive, onto the next cycle 😊
@DaisyMay25 good luck for tomorrow. And I can relate to the facebook angst... it sometimes feels as though everyone I know is pregnant at the moment.
@BabynameEdie I didn't even get a proper line! I got a really faint line on thursday eve (faint but definitely there) then a BFN yesterday morning and the faintest of faint lines this morning. Basically it's my own fault for testing way too early, I'm not even due AF till tomorrow or monday.

I feel like someone else was in a similar place in their cycle to me... @hidcat? Will you be testing too?

DaisyMay25 · 28/04/2018 19:56

They've only been together since July and obviously wasn't planned. I'm self pitying now, it's terrible!
Hopefully I'll get a nice second line on my test in the month, and if AF gets me this month I'm just gonna have to up my game although @BabynameEdie I couldn't do what you're doing, that's pure dedication!

hayleyfx · 28/04/2018 20:08

@Boboelephant @Sloeberrygin thank you both. So glad I’m out of limbo, FX for May!! Hope you figure out what’s going on soon Sloeberry and hopefully af stays away for you!

zarala · 28/04/2018 20:26

Hey ladies
Hope you're doing as well as can be- wherever / whatever situation you're in.

Just a quick question

Since my last MMC I have been having really painful like stabbing pains that come and go - feels like it's in my ovaries
I get them a few times everyday they only last for a maybe 20 seconds or so but I've never really experienced anything like this when not on my period.
Have any of you been experiencing any strange pains in that region? I am wondering whether the ERPC messed me up!
I am going to call my GP on Monday and see what she says...

DaisyMay25 · 28/04/2018 20:52

@zarala I've had the same thing since, not as bad anywhere but still daily I've had many tests and seeing the gynaecologist on 15th May so I can't really help as nothing has been found however my doctor has done all the testing quickly. Might be worth mentioning it to your gp, then did an ultrasound on my ovaries, pelvis, tubes and everything just to so hopefully they can do the same for you. They checked my tribe first for a uti too and sent me for bloods.

zarala · 28/04/2018 20:55

Thanks @DaisyMay25
It's weird isn't it?
Maybe we're just now very aware of our ovaries?
It's reassuring tho that I'm not the only one experiencing this - and all your tests so far have come back normal?

DaisyMay25 · 28/04/2018 20:59

@zarala yes everything has been normal which is frustrating too I think we are just far more aware of any little twinge that happens but you should it get checked out just in case.

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 21:19

@Boboelephant @DaisyMay25 ok now I feel worried I've over promised! 😂 hadn't really thought how many days in a row it would be..but my cycles used to be 24 days so I guess I thought 17 days in a row max! I dunno. Am just so fed up of it all that I feel some dedication and strength growing in me! 💪 but probably in a week I'll be realising it was all a big mistake! 😂

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 21:20

@YellowDaffodils86 yep I reckon every other day might be more manageable!

BabynameEdie · 28/04/2018 21:21

@hayleyfx super helpful advice / info thank you! Think we'll be needing some of that 😬🙈

Boboelephant · 28/04/2018 21:47

Hahaha @BabynameEdie! 🤞🤞 for early ovulation!! 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Cakelaur · 28/04/2018 22:53

@BabynameEdie good luck on the marathon!!! From cd7 until AF!!! I do not envy you!!! Haha!! Hope it works!! 🤞🏻our marathon worked for us although we only managed 8 in a row. We stopped after ovulation. If you think it's too many, start on cd10-cd22 (or stop once you've ovulated)
@hayleyfx we used fertility check gel from boots. Got us a bfp first month trying and then third month after mc. It's quite watery, but I only used half, wiped it all down and used again the next night. I like it cos it comes with little individual applicators.
@DaisyMay25 sending hugs babe.
@zarala I had that. I kept thinking it was implantation/ovulation/af etc. It defo got more noticeable in the TWW.
Good luck to all of you in the TWW or approaching FW!!
