Thank you @LondonKez. It sounds like you have a lovely caring doctor. That makes all the difference. I hope they can give you some answers soon xxxx

I am CD 15 and still reading high on my fertility monitor and I can't help but feel a little disheartened. I was hoping for a peak today, as DH is leaving very early in the morning to catch a flight. We dtd today and I hope that if I get a peak in the morning, it will be enough to give us a chance of getting pregnant this cycle. I really was hoping and praying to be pregnant for Christmas.

Thank you @Carastarchild
Hope you get your peak ASAP. Remember sperm can live a long time, up to five days I think. Praying this is your month xxxx

BLS1983 · 17/11/2018 19:28

Huge congratulations @ChikiTIKI 😘 xx

Carastarchild · 17/11/2018 20:32

Thanks Chiki for your comforting words. I just really hope I get a peak tomorrow morning, as at least then I really will have a chance. I will be CD 16 tomorrow. Do you still feel dizzy or are you feeling a bit better?

Dropped DH off for his trip abroad to visit family and I am just after getting into bed. I have to get up at 7, as my DS has a match 😴😴😴

I have a funny feeling that I ovulated already on Wednesday, and my monitor missed it. I will know more in the morning. Time to finally get a bit of shut eye.

Congratulations @ChikiTIKI!! I did read somewhere that you can have spotting for 1-3 days around the time of implantation but I'd be the exact same. So hard not to worry when you've wanted something so badly.

I think I'm now 3DPO so I've got everything crossed we DTD in time.
@Carastarchild my AF isn't due till 29/11 (says 12/11 on the stats I think) so I've got a little while to wait yet. But I've woken up today with a dull lower tummy ache and my boobs were a bit sore last night and nipple feel tingly today. It's too soon for anything to be showing but can't help but think ooooooo what's this.

Literally been googling everything which I know is the worst thing to do!!

MrsLBear · 18/11/2018 07:53

@Carastarchild does your monitor normally predict it accurately every month?
I tried LH tests this month and all came back negative but I know I did ovulate as I had a temp drop.
Fingers crossed for you!!

Carastarchild · 18/11/2018 11:19

MrsLBear I will amend the stats later when I turn on my laptop. I got another high reading today The monitor has worked accurately the last two months, but I think this month I have caused it to not function properly. I didn't start testing with the machine until CD 10, when I should've started CD 7. I am now thinking that this may have caused it to not read my levels correctly. I am going to pop to Poundland later as they sell cheap Opks. The sticks for the machine are expensive, so I don't want to use anymore of them this cycle. The thing is I have slightly sore breasts and this never happens until after I ovulate 🤔 What OPKs did you use?

Sorry I've not been around much, I've been trying to not come on here as much to try and alleviate the stress of TTC! Currently on cycle #4, with AF due 26th. I've got a feeling this won't be our month.

Flossytots · 18/11/2018 12:13

Hi ladies👋 Hope you’ve all had a great weekened. I’m in a bit of a pickle and not too sure what to make of it all. I’m 13dpo today, AF due tomorrow so I took an Asda test this morning and noticed a faint positive (blue stick) and then within 2mins, I started spotting. The flow is light compared to normal AF but put a tampon on for good measure. The cramps are light, they feel more like the same pressure and stretching I felt at 12dpo. So I’ve been really struggling to get my head around this so I took another test just in case AF arrived early. The second test (pink stick) is form Superdrug and another faint line showed up. These test are 4hrs apart and I made sure not to drink inbetween. Has anyone experienced this and continued to have pregnancy? I have attached the pics.

I can see it Flossytots 🎉🎉🎉 It's faint but definitely something there. A lot of ladies have spotting and end up with a BFP.... exciting stuff 💜

OP posts:
Flossytots · 18/11/2018 12:34

I know they are squinters but more visible in person.

Carastarchild · 18/11/2018 12:38

Flossytots I know what you mean! I zoomed it on my phone and I could definitely see it! Plus what is the chance of getting two faint lines on two different tests! Try to hold off testing again until the morning!! I am so excited for you! I read online that the clearblur digital with conception indicator are very sensitive. I am actually going to get one myself for this cycle!

OP posts:
Flossytots · 18/11/2018 12:46

Aww thanks @cara, I will splash out on one too. How have you been feeling? Keeping my fingers crossed and baby dust to you all ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Rachael321 · 18/11/2018 12:54

Still no sign of AF now 2 days late and still a BFN this morning!!

MrsLBear · 18/11/2018 16:07

That's so frustrating isn't it. All of the different tests you can do are so sensitive to slight changes which can throw out results so easily.
I bought some off eBay. Tiny strips and means I need to pee in a cup which was not fun! But tbf not sure on their reliability. Haha. I got a massive bag of them for like £3 or something. But it's quite good cos you don't feel bad for doing loads that way. I looked at CB ones and nearly fell over backwards at the sight of the price!!
What machine do you use?
Omg same - about the sore boobs. But then I think I overanalyse everything I feel!

MrsLBear · 18/11/2018 16:07

Sorry @Carastarchild I was meant to tag you in post below x

BLS1983 · 18/11/2018 22:23

@Flossytots I see the lines too. Congrats to you :-) x

Whisky2014 · 18/11/2018 23:19

Wedding was amazing cara. Best day I could have ever imagined and hoped for! :D

I took a test today and got a negative. It's funny how I haven't had any period symptoms at all and was actually in the mindframe that i was pregnant then take the test and I pretty much immediately feel period coming on. I'm not too disappointed this time..it's only first cycle and now it means I will be entitled to the work maternity pack any cycle after this. So a silver lining on my small cloud but I'm still in blissfull happiness and looking forward to honeymoon. Maybe we will make a honeymoon baby :)

Good luck to everyone!
