My AF arrived yesterday so I'm off the September bus already Sad

Cycle #2
Trying for baby #2
Age 33

This month I am going to track my cycle using ovulation strips. DTD lots last month so I'm gutted but onwards and upwards!

I’m such an idiot it was the bloody control line I could see. It’s light pink in the results line, I think evap though I’ve read online they can dry pink. I need to just stop worrying til tomorrow morning and this time bin it after the time limit so I can’t second guess lines x

I may have just done another test (I know), totally expected it to be negative given it was so faint this morning and now my pee is much more diluted, but it's similar if not slightly darker. I can only assume that I'm messed up after the mc and ovulated really late. Argh! Frer tomorrow morning and if that's positive I'll get a clear blue digital just to get an idea of dates. They've been pretty accurate with me in the past. I'd been so convinced I wasn't pregnant because my boobs have always been so painful in the past during pregnancy, and I've felt absolutely nothing...until about ten minutes ago when they've become really sore! Why do bodies have to be so confusing?

Just catching up on today's posts. Congrats for the BFPs! Sorry others having a confusing day. For thiseninteresred it's now CD46 in the confusing cycle house and still no AF!

sbhf1987 · 18/10/2018 19:40

@veeboo it must be so confusing and frustrating for you.

I’m even more sure I’m out, more spotting and feeling shit like I usually do when AF is imminent. When I got my bfp last month I felt fine, no pregnancy or AF symptoms. I feel awful today though, shitty and sad and bloated. X

veeboo · 18/10/2018 19:47

@sbhf1987 I feel okay at the moment. I just don't know what to do. I know I'm not pregnant because of the cramps and BFNs so just need to wait. But at what point does this become really problematic/concerning?! I'm now 17dpo (based on static smiley)

sbhf1987 · 18/10/2018 20:06

@veeboo maybe you didn’t actually ovulate this cycle which is what has messed things up? My doctor didn’t care about my cycles when I went after 30 years of regular 28/29 day cycles they went nuts for the first 4 months of TTC. They didn’t care x

veeboo · 18/10/2018 20:20

Yea I don't think they'll care either @shbf1987...Just need to ride it out!

coastergirl · 18/10/2018 23:37

No frer in the morning. OH managed to get the rapid response ones instead which appear to be very insensitive (I'm sure that's the wrong word!) so there's not much point. I'll probably do another IC and see if it's darker.

sbhf1987 · 19/10/2018 08:11

Help me. 10dpo, appeared within the 3 mins. Is this a line or the indent line?

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 08:16

That's a line @sbhf1987! Congratulations!

Chocolate89 · 19/10/2018 08:18

Ah thats a line @sbhf1987!! Congrats!!!

I'm 11dpo and bfn on am IC this am. Dunno whether to try a frer tomorrow. How do people find the ics??

everycloudetc · 19/10/2018 08:18

sbh that's definitely a line Congratulations! I tested this morning too and got a BFP  Hoping it's a sticky bean as I'm well aware it's before AF is due so things can change so trying not to get too excited. Fingers crossed for the next few days.x

sbhf1987 · 19/10/2018 08:23

@everycloudetc congratulations! I know I am going away this weekend and I’ve already drank wine this week as I got myself so convinced I was out now I feel guilty!!

Thank you @ReginaPhalange89 @Chocolate89 I only ever use FRER or CB digital. I’ll test again tomorrow to double check.

After my mc this month I can’t get excited yet 💔

coastergirl · 19/10/2018 09:14

Congratulations @sbhf1987 and @everycloudetc

Is it normal for the IC tests to fade? Photo attached. Top one was yesterday morning, middle last night (both positive at the time) and bottom one this morning.

coastergirl · 19/10/2018 09:15

Oops, forgot the photo.

toomanyflatwhites · 19/10/2018 09:30

@sbhf1987 congratulations! And I know it's hard to get excited after a miscarriage, but remind yourself "today I am pregnant"...

@coastergirl I had the same tests and found they really faded too. As long as they were positive at the time that's what counts!

sbhf1987 · 19/10/2018 09:33

@toomanyflatwhites thank you. I’ve been so down this week and DH has been a rock so I just hope this one sticks around to make us complete ❤️ If not I’m getting more dogs lol x

everycloudetc · 19/10/2018 10:16

Thank you! sbh in the line of work I do i've seen some individuals use £40 worth of crack a day and drink themselves to oblivion and still make it to 40 weeks so don't worry about a glass of wine it will be ok

coastergirl the bottom pic still looks dark to me (the middle pic is a bit lighter but that might be because you didn't use FMU?)

sbhf1987 · 19/10/2018 10:58

@everycloudetc thank you, at least I know now so I can avoid the wine for hopefully another 8 months 🤞

Trying93 · 19/10/2018 11:55

Congratulations to everyone who got their BFP.

I've been feeling really sick the last 4 days. Only 8dpo so think its way too early to be pregnancy related?

Not testing till AF is late tho, and trying not to get my hopes up

TwittleBee · 19/10/2018 12:04

oh wow what a morning! Congrats all!

Exciting stuff!!

we didnt DTD last night despite me ovulating yesterday. I was in bed before DH got home as I was knackered. Idk if its worth trying tonight or just hoping the 3 days of DTD would be enough!

ReginaPhalange89 · 19/10/2018 12:12

Can anyone shed some light /stop me going crazy.
I tested with fmu, with a frer and was pretty sure it was negative.
Some Internet cheapies just arrived (thought apparently the same sensitivity as free) so I thought I'd check again with second urine.
I swear I can see a line. I stupidly pressed the screen and ruined it so ended up opening it up, which I know you're not supposed to do, but any thoughts ? Can you see the line on the test before I opened it ?

Chocolate89 · 19/10/2018 12:26

I can't see a line either, sorry! But test in the morning, fx you'll see a clear line!!!

sbhf1987 · 19/10/2018 13:10

@ReginaPhalange89 I can’t see one but can you do another FRER tomorrow morning? X
