Sorry to hear that @gracesmom28 it's so disheartening to get that positive and then have it go away. Especially as now it'll be another 2 months of trying for me Sad

Gracesmom28 · 04/05/2018 12:26

It is really disheartening thinking of you, I hope your blessed with baby dust soon xxx

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 13:21

So sorry to hear that both of you.
Although still some hope until AF comes 🤞🏻

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 15:37

I've just type my reply 3 times only for my phone to flip out each time and delete it.
I'm desperate for my BFP but I'm trying not to get my hopes up so I won't be testing now until the 10th if my period stays away.

If the bitch does turn up I've just treated myself to a little introduction into the world of cloth sanitary towels which will hopefully feel a lot nicer than the rustly plastic disposables I seem to keep finding.
I know they aren't everyones cup of tea but they're really pretty and I've ordered one that says twat mat which amuses me no end.

Next shopping trip is for inositol but I cant decide which form to buy. You can get powders or some capsules with other supplements but I need to research first.

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 16:06

@Aph413 i hope its all a mix up for u and shitty tests that dnt work it can happen..i just got told on another thread(yes im totally addicted to mumsnet! lol) to ignore last weds high temp cause i was drinking tues nite, soo i did and fertility friend thinks i ovulated on the 29th! I really hope im not getting my hopes up for nothing.

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 16:07

@Aph413 i just realised what u said..twat mat 😂luv it!

OP posts:
Aph413 · 04/05/2018 16:17

Ohh good luck! That would give you a lovely short cycle if you did.
Yep it says twat mat, it's amazing. Can't wait for it to get here

thisisouryrfx18 · 04/05/2018 17:18

Well sumbody else has now said it could b because u switched to taking temps vaginally, way to burst my bubble lol i literally have a headache from over analysing it! Whats inositol?

OP posts:
Aph413 · 04/05/2018 17:32

Oh true, switching to vaginal halway through my last cycle made mine jump all over the place. Maybe click discard on all temps not done vaginally?
Inositol is sometimes prescribed to people with pcos because it helps regulate hormones and insulin resistance. People on the ovusense support group often seem to swear by it

Aph413 · 04/05/2018 22:34

So it seems I was using first respobse rapid results not early results. They aren't meant to be used until your miss your period Blush. Still negative on internet cheapies but I'm now stupidly hopeful. Still determined I'm going to wait and stop looking at the stupid evap line on my test from this morning

Aph413 · 05/05/2018 07:42

Frer and not frrr today. Still feel crampy. Finally convinced it's real.

I can see a line! get a digital for in the morning i dnt know how uve managed to not tell OH the suspense is killing me lol what a rollercoaster the past couple of days

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 12:03

My emotions are all over the place. This is ridiculous. I always thought I would realise my period was late test and get a massive bfp. Not this weird positive and then negative crampy bloaty uncertain time.

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/05/2018 12:44

I know i was the exact same when it happened to me but thats 2positives uve had now surely that has to count for sumthin. If u get a positive on a digital 2morro id say ur all gd hun.

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 14:05

I have 1 digital I'm going to hold onto as long as I can. I've ordered some more frer from amazon and once I get a nice strong line I'll use the digital

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/05/2018 14:25

@Aph413 yh im just impatient lol im saying to myself just now dnt test until 14dpo but i ll prob cave in n test early like u lol im only 6dpo and its goin in slow already

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 16:52

I took my digital. After a 1 hour hold and a massive cup of tea. Of course it was negative haha. That'll teach me. However my frer is stronger.
Not even a squinter now

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/05/2018 17:04

Wow thats amazing how quickly its becoming stronger..crazy. Yh ive done that before lol makes ur pee to dilute to get a positive oh well theres always 2morro for the digital. Ive been worrying in my work recently i do quite a manual job keep thinking it cant b gd during the tww to b doing so much physical activity

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 17:07

Same here. I do care work so there's a lot of moving people about. As soon as I cam I'll be letting them know so I can move onto lighter duties.
For the tww though it's fine really because anything happening is too small to be affected by lifting and the like

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/05/2018 17:18

I know but it makes me kinda paranoid keep think all this straining and heavy lifting cant help with implantation..oh well not much we can do eh? I dnt want to tel ppl im ttc just need to be careful

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 18:43

I had a look on Google about it, most of it's to do with heavy lifting in early pregnancy but on livestrong it mentions implanation and ttc and that continuing with your level of activity from before ttc is fine. It's generally talking about exercise but since that includes weight lifting I'd say you'll be ok in your tww.
I know it might not be much comfort, the tww is terrifying to me but we have to try to relax as stupid as it is.
I've got my fingers crossed for you

thisisouryrfx18 · 05/05/2018 18:55

Thanx u too..it seems to more and more heavy lifting recently just my luck lol

OP posts:
Aph413 · 05/05/2018 19:03

Goodness me. Well hopefully you get your bfp at the end of this and then work has got to put you on lighter duties!

I was thinking earlier today whether there is anyone out there who would just accept something like my bfp as it and not feel the need to do a digital test.
