@Lovewinemorethanhusband yep 🙋‍♀️ me too. 7dpo and poas this morn. Ha! Ridiculous! Hey ho, glad we're not alone in this madness! Xx

KnitKitty · 11/05/2018 18:36

Cakelaur I genuinely filled up with tears of joy for you. Thank you so much for your message of hope, it's just what I needed to hear today. Congratulations and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is smooth sailing.

So much to catch up on with the rest of you, sorry not to reply to individuals, but I have been reading all of your messages and I am sending positive vibes to those who need today. xxx

Laney79 · 11/05/2018 20:33

@Cakelaur so pleased for you-fab picture xxx

Boboelephant · 12/05/2018 07:31

@Anyday88 I'm so rubbish at seeing squinters so I'm no help sorry! What dpo are you?
@PassTheAfterEights haha my heartburn was defo poor diet choices! I have shown amazing stamina since though. My alcohol abstinence lasted for...wait for it... one day. Oops 🤦‍♀️ also 7dpo here. Really hope next Friday is another bfp fest!!
Haha @Lovewinemorethanhusband and @BabynameEdie the struggle is real! Are you going to keep testing or wait a few days?
How are all the 2ww'ers feeling??

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 07:46

@Eastend2015 good luck with the JKS game. Defo less stressful to just do it all the time and not worry.

@Anyday88 possibly top left in the first photo?! Can you get hold of an frer? 🤞🏻it becomes much clearer soon.

@weasledee fingers cross for your bfp!!

@PassTheAfterEights oooh can't wait for POAS Friday. On the control arm, when can you test? Eek!

@BabynameEdie 😂🤣 testing at 7dpo!! That's my kinda testing!! Next week is gonna bring so many May Miracles I can feel it!!

@KnitKitty thanks babe. I thought I cried enough for everyone. And then I looked over and my OH was blubbing too!! Never seen the man cry! Haha. 😍 how are you getting on?

@Boboelephant when are you gonna start testing?? Can't wait to see all the results!!

Oooh I'm so excited for next week. So many bfps are due and ready to come!!! New year babies!!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🌈

weasledee · 12/05/2018 07:46

BFN here and defo out this month, bright white FRER at 11 DPO.
So thinking about next month, the doc gave me 5mg folic acid to take "when" I get a positive. Is anyone taking them before? Clutching at straws again.....

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 07:48

@weasledee I don't wanna be a bad influence. But I was getting stark white tests until 15dpo when I got a faint line on frer!! So I still have everything crossed for you. 🤞🏻

weasledee · 12/05/2018 07:52

I like your positivity cake Smile but my successful pregnancies have always started with a fairly strong stick at 11 DPO.... but I'm happy to be wrong! Grin
And my next fertile week we're on holiday with all the family an apartment!!! Confused

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 07:57

@weasledee you may not need next fertile week! Positive thinking! May miracles!! My dpo positive ended in an mmc at 6 weeks. So who knows!! Sending hugs.

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 07:58

That was supposed to say 10dpo *

toots123 · 12/05/2018 08:02

Jumping on here if you'll have me.

Ttc after losing our daughter at 39 weeks in February. Completely heartbroken but we decided ttc is the best way forward for us.
So this is cycle 1. It took us over a year to conceive last time so I fully expect to be here a while.
We also have a 3 yo so fx we can bring her a sibling home in the future Flowers

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 12/05/2018 08:17

@toots so sorry for your loss, these girls are a very good bunch into his thread the penguins look after each other xx
@bobo I'll say no but I no that I'll be testing every single day got loads cheap so may as well use them

Martydog · 12/05/2018 08:45

Hi my husband and I have decided that we are going to go on holiday the week after next to try and move forward. But Regarding travel insurance do I need to declare the miscarriage because it doesn't come up on the list of conditions but I have seen a doctor in the last 2 years. Does anyone have any advice?

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 08:52

@Martydog I went skiing 3 days after my erpc. In terms of doctors advice they said I was safe to go (I had to take my notes) and my EU health card. (Dunno where you're planning on going) but they said I was safe to fly and ski as long as I took it easy. My travel insurance was with my bank. I didn't even mention it to them.

Anyday88 · 12/05/2018 08:56

Thanks ladies! I am going to stay with family for a few days today so hoping that will take my mind off it and will get a frer from amazon to be at home when I get back if af hasn’t shown up by then.
I’m not sure how many Dpo I am as I haven’t had an af since the mc.

Hope everyone has a good weekend xxx

Martydog · 12/05/2018 09:02

@cakelaur we are only thinking of going to Majorca for a week take advantage of the cheap term time holidays as I normally can't go.

HidCat · 12/05/2018 09:11

@toots123 I'm so sorry, I can't imagine your pain. Welcome to the 🐧 huddle. There are wonderful people in this group and we'll do our best to get you through.

@Martydog I hope you have a fab time and get lots of rest whilst away.

Blondcat · 12/05/2018 09:38

@toots123 welcome and sorry for your loss.
@martydog a holiday sounds like a great idea. We are off in a couple of weeks too though it was booked months ago and I am looking forward to it. Hope you enjoy x

YellowDaffodils86 · 12/05/2018 09:42

@Lilimum4 sorry that you have this extra stress on top of ttc. I hope things are solved soon and your appointment goes well.

@Martydog Hope things get solved soon, its unfair that these things can take so long.
Enjoy the holiday, sounds like a good idea, some time away should help.

@BabynameEdie haha 7dpo!! When will you test again? Im holding out till 13dpo orAF - maybe. 😂
I said this last month and broke out a hpt about 10dpo.
At least you are over the halfway mark.

@Boboelephant When are you going to crack?

@Cakelaur Aw what a lovely moment with your OH.

@weasledee Ah you just never know!

@toots123 So sorry for all you have been through, i hope you find some support here.

I hope things happen sooner this time.

@Anyday88 Im not sure, im not good with squinters, always a bit of a pessimist. But try in a few days, FX. Especially if you dont know what dpo you are, still a good chance a bfp happens.

Tww people- how goes it? Do any of you not drink alcohol or caffeine during this time??
Particularly 7-14dpo??

Curlypop · 12/05/2018 09:44

I gave in and tested early and think there's a line! I mc last month so I really hope this one sticks

weasledee · 12/05/2018 10:18

Welcome to this amazing group toots, although I'm sorry you find yourself here....
Can't imagine what you've been through I really can't, but you'll get lots of support here x

strawberrye · 12/05/2018 11:08

@YellowDaffodils86 I have got out of the habit of drinking alcohol mostly, I do tend to abstain completely after about 7DPO. And after 1st miscarriage I only have 1 cup of tea per day throughout my cycle, difficult especially when I'm doing nights and 12 hour shifts!

@PassTheAfterEights thanks I am feeling better. I have been chatting a lot to my friend who has had the miscarriage recently, she's the first person in real life who has been through miscarriage who I've been able to talk to about it in any depth and I've found that really helpful (for both of us I hope). Well remembered about my crazy BBT, they are still a bit all over the place but FF thinks it's detected ovulation? I'm not convinced, not been using OPKs or anything. BBT dropped this morning so may be due AF but it's been so jagged I wouldn't be surprised if it shot up again tomorrow! Tried to attach pic but phone won't me. How long did it take for the Clearblue control arm OPKs and vouchers to arrive after you sent all the stuff back?

@toots123 welcome and I am so sorry for your loss, I cannot imagine how hard that was Flowers

@Lilimum4 thinking of you, hope your pain is settled

Cakelaur · 12/05/2018 11:39

@YellowDaffodils86 I had a bottle of wine the night before my bfp and drank the whole way through the TWW. (We we're celebrating loads of birthdays and a whole pile of things) And had a coffee every morning. Stopped all of it the day i got bfp of course. But in my opinion the TWWs become reallly long and boring if I put my life on hold each month. And even more disappointing each bfn. But you have to do what you feel comfortable with.

@Curlypop oooh I hope so babe!! 🤞🏻if you need more opinions we all love looking at the two lines! 😉

@toots123 so sorry for your loss. Couldn't imagine what you've been through! But what a great outlook.

L1zz13 · 12/05/2018 13:18

No more news from me at the mo.

I have discovered something you may find useful. The 'invert colours' option on photos uploaded to fertility friend is something you can do on an iPhone. And other phones I suspect.
Settings > General > Accessibility > Display Accommodations > Invert Colours > Classic invert et voila!

toots123 · 12/05/2018 14:19

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I'm trying to stay as relaxed as possible but we all know that's pretty hard.
Wishing everyone a bfp very soon x
