Sorry to hear @Chanel05. It sucks.

My temp is pre-ov normal today after three days of dip. So confused. I used to find temping so easy to interpret but since my mmc in July my temps and ovulation dates have been all over the place. Not doing very well at dtd at the moment either, stupid ttc pressure getting to DH.

Seahawk80 · 05/12/2018 09:08

How long after ov does everyone else dtd? I feel pretty crampy today and found my old opk stash yesterday and got a positive so reckon ov will be today, had a good lead up, dtd fri, sun, mon & tues so I was thinking once more for luck today and then the pressure is off

Seahawk80 · 05/12/2018 09:19

Sorry @Chanel05 just saw you're out. Hope you're feeling ok x

unicornxo · 05/12/2018 10:33

I've had my BFP!!

Shocked to have caught first time again but after my two MMC I'm not getting my hopes I'm just yet.

Good luck everyone still waiting x

Congrats @unicornxo!!

Thanks everyone! Feeling quite confused atm as lp changes every month and this month was only a 29 day cycle when I had 1 month 35 and the subsequent 4 as 31!

Congratulations @unicornxo!

Sorry to hear that AF is here for some of you, wishing you all lots of luck for the next cycle.

Not much happening here, I OV’d on Day 23 last cycle and it’s Day 17 now. Tiny bit of EWCM so I’m peeing on lots of OPKs! Waiting to ovulate is so tedious, almost as bad as the TWW.

Wishful30 · 05/12/2018 16:13

Congrats @unicornxo

How's everyone else getting on?

I'm about 7dpo. Boobs hurt in/off but I guess that's now leading up to af.
Had a dream about my pregnancy scan last night. All was fine.
Only 2 times I've had this before I got bfp's.
Still convinced we missed it. So might just wait for af before bothering to test.

MrsLBear · 05/12/2018 16:24

Congrats @unicornxo!!!! Must be the best feeling seeing two red lines!
Fingers crossed it all goes well for you this time.

Kaye03 · 05/12/2018 16:45

Trying to stay positive, its hard sometimes. Been dtd every other day during high opk, then twice a day on peak.
Thought would have been successful by now. Been doing this for 5 months, still no luck.

unicornxo · 05/12/2018 17:19

Thanks everyone. I'm happy but so scared after the last two but I guess I have Christmas in the middle to distract me.

I'll keep looking on here to see how you all get on!! x

Realitysucks · 05/12/2018 19:17

Hi all,

I’ve been off for a week or so and struggling to catch up! Hi to everyone new and I’m sorry for those with AF and losses 😞 So no LH surge for me last cycle and AF came yesterday so I took to the gin 🤬 work busy and stressful but all set for ICSI in jan. if anyone has had this, has anyone had infusion and scratch? Mine is booked for 19 Jan. All on the basis of Af starting the right time end of December. It’s also become apparent I’m on a 24 day cycle 😞 so getting shorter!

WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 19:49

Soooo, I very naughtily busted out a FRER! I am supposed to take it any day from tomorrow but I used ahem ...logic... to decide it was ok to do it tonight after a four hour urine hold 🤣🙈

My DH and I are pretty convinced we can both see the slightest lightest pink line. So slight I don't think the camera really picks it up.

We're both pretty clued up on chemical pregnancies and evaps etc so not allowing ourselves to get too excited, but If everyone could just cross everything for me, I'd appreciate it very much 😁😁😁😁 thanks!!!!

Of course, I'll be returning the favour x

unicornxo · 05/12/2018 19:57

@WildFlower2018 fingers crossed for you!!!

WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 19:57

Congrats unicorn x x

WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 19:58

Cross post unicorn! Thank you very much and here's hoping we'll be both on the August 2019 babies thread together x

unicornxo · 05/12/2018 21:03

@WildFlower2018 wow we posted at the exact same minute 😂 but thank you 😊

Fingers crossed. Are you going to retest in the morning? I did a test at 9/10dpo and I think I could see a faint line. I bet yours look similar to that. Can you see anything at all on a photo?

MrsLBear · 05/12/2018 21:04

Fingers crossed @WildFlower2018!!!!

Needadoughnut · 05/12/2018 21:05

Newbie here! Currently 7-8 dpo with awful cramping!!

WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 21:23

@unicornxo I don't think the camera picks anything up at all. But I'll attach a picture anyway 🤣 (I've undone the test to see if that'd help me get a clearer pic)

I can deffo see it in the right light, so can my DH. We think it has a pink tint too.

Yes I'm going to retest in the morning and I've got two more FRERs coming on amazon prime tomorrow. Not sure why, as I have a cupboard of ICs to use after that, but hey ho.

December bus ho ho ho
unicornxo · 05/12/2018 21:28

@WildFlower2018 I think I can see something too!! How many days dpo are you today?

unicornxo · 05/12/2018 21:33

@WildFlower2018 this was mine at 9 dpo. So barely anything on a picture 🧐 similar to yours don't you think?

December bus ho ho ho
WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 21:36

I'm 9 days PO today, due AF on Tuesday 11th.

According to the calculator on the frer website, tomorrow is the earliest it'd be able to detect the hormones. So logically, I'm only testing about 12 hours earlier than they suggest 🙈😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Which is why I think I can only just see the faintest squinter of a pink line.

I think (hope) I'll get a proper result tomorrow!

WildFlower2018 · 05/12/2018 21:37

@unicornxo I can deffo deffo see a line in yours though. I don't think you can see the line in my photo x x

Your test is like mine last time at 10days PO. Then I waited and tested again at 14 dpo and it was much darker.
