Also @carastarchild, I'd stick with the same brand so that you can see line progression. You might find another brand has a different sensitivity. Keep us updated x

@carastar am keeping my fingers crossed for you on Wednesday xx

ChikiTIKI · 18/02/2019 20:04

@Carastarchild I can see pinkness in those lines too! Xxxx

LauraPalmersBodybag · 18/02/2019 20:08

I’m delighted! In total shock, but feel so happy. I’d just started piecing things together today with the lack of spotting and then change in my nipples (!)

My husband first sent me a really puzzled text saying he couldn’t understand the photo. Then I explicitly told him I’m pregnant and he started sending me BitMojis with storks! We were trying for 6 months. Now just got to hope this sticks.

Thank you all - I really hope this is the time for you @carastarchild and @LondonKez

ChikiTIKI · 18/02/2019 20:13

@LauraPalmersBodybag aww thanks for sharing the story of you telling your DH :) :)

Wishing you all the best for the next 9 months and beyond! Xxxx

LauraPalmersBodybag · 18/02/2019 21:01

Thank you so much. I’m really hoping for your bfp very soon x

ChikiTIKI · 18/02/2019 21:11

Thanks :)

If I get a BFP this month I will be having a baby (if all goes well! in the week of my 30th birthday in mid November. This is my current dream :) xxxx

Carastarchild · 18/02/2019 22:05

Ladies! The thread is nearly full! We must come up with a cool new name to carry us over into Spring...coconuts included!

Laurapalmer I am over the moon for you!

Fx for the rest of us lovely ladies! Spring is the time of year that fertility and new life is associated with x

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart! DH and I really feel that we can't do anything other than wait, but we are not getting our hopes up. We really will be shocked if the test line gets stronger, but it probably won't. I pray for clarity so I can move on to the next cycle if needs be.

So I did a lot of searching online last night to see if other women had the same thing happen to them. Low and behold I found other recent stories similar to mine- tested again this morning with the two bottom tests. The line is still there, but I think it is a little lighter. I don't know right now whether it was a chemical pregnancy or faulty tests. Either way, I am not pregnant, so I am discontinuing the progesterone. This has been really tough 😥😥😔

This is my chart... definitely time to let last cycle go.

I was half tempted to get my DH to poas and see what would happen 😔

Oh @cara that's so sad, I was hoping to log on today to see that your got a stronger line, so gutted for you! It is really tough, and so difficult not to get your hopes up throughout this process. TTC is a total rollercoaster. I think we are all amazing just for picking ourselves up each month and trying again, it's so hard, but we will get there!!😊

I am out this month for defs, AF came on Sunday night. Feeling okay, as this was a 26 day cycle straight off the pill, no crazy mood swings like when I came off pill in Oct, and no spotting beforehand which is good clings to positives so now cd3.

PineappleC · 19/02/2019 09:13

@LauraPalmer so so happy for you, that's wonderful news. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months 😁😁🎉🎉xx

Carastarchild · 19/02/2019 11:50

@pineappleC I am sorry AF got you 😑 Definitely sounds like things are improving for you 🤗 No spotting is a major achievement! Definitely cling onto the positives 💜

I am okay. I asked the lady in the chemist if anyone else had complained about getting faint lines on frer's and she said absolutely not. Apparently they are their number one selling tests. I just told DH this morning that if it was a chemical pregnancy then we can hold on to the fact that the sperm met the egg...that is a little progress...we were worried that somehow they weren't. The SMEP plan seemed to have worked a bit for us! We are thinking of trying it again this month 🤞🤞🤞

I'm so sorry @carastarchild. I have never seen even a glimmer of a line, so can't imagine how tough and confusing this is. Sending you a massive hug 💖💖💖

Carastarchild · 19/02/2019 14:40

Thanks 😘 @londonkez. I am just taking the positives aspects from the situation. Hopefully my new cycle will bring better news 🤞🙏🤞How are your temperatures doing?

I'm so sorry @Carastarchild I'm so gutted for you. I can only imagine how you must be feeling.

You are inspiring me with your positive attitude. All about moving forward. I could do with being more like that.

ChikiTIKI · 19/02/2019 16:54

In an attempt not to be totally down about my lack of positivity....

I started up a new regime today of brisk 30 min lunchtime walks and drinking LOADS of water. And think I will ovulate from my left side I have been having pains in a specific place for days now.

I just get so down about not knowing when I ovulate and worrying we haven't DTD enough. And when I think it's the right time, I suddenly get AF showing up!!

ChikiTIKI · 19/02/2019 16:57

Ok, name ideas for new thread!!

What about... "The one where we all get pregnant"

But it needs to involve coconuts.... Hmm,......

LondonKez · 19/02/2019 17:57

@carastarchild loving your positivity 💖
@Chikitiki sounds like a Friends episode, I like it! Not sure how we fit coconuts in? 'The one with coconuts and BFPs'?

My chart went down by 0.05 today, so a really small drop. Tomorrow will be 12dpo and AF/BFP due Thursday. I normally dip below the cover line by now, the only exception was my first cycle temping when it didn't drop until day 2 of my period. Fingers crossed it doesn't follow that dreaded dotted line tomorrow 🤞🏼

LondonKez · 19/02/2019 18:00

@Chikitiki Sounds like a good sign if you're having ovulation twinges? Stay positive - you know your body can do this. The water and exercise will really help with ewcm too xx

LondonKez · 19/02/2019 18:03

@PineappleC it's encouraging that your cycle looks to be unaffected by your month on the pill? That is 100% a positive step in the right direction x

Sorry for the multiple posts...I'm taking up valuable thread posts!

ChikiTIKI · 19/02/2019 19:12

@LondonKez that sounds very promising that your temp is staying quite stable!! Fingers crossed it goes up tomorrow!

Haha yeah I was going for a Friends vibe... :)

"The one full of coconuts and BFPs" ?

ChikiTIKI · 19/02/2019 19:20

@LondonKez I just realised I pretty much suggested the same title as you!

And thanks for encouraging my positivity. Hoping to DTD most days this week. Can't do much more than that I suppose! Xxxx
