TTC November Baby

[Explorers10]

So my AF has arrived today but looking forward to having another go at TTC for a baby in November 2019.

Cycle: 4
Age: 34
CD: 1

Anyone else want to join in the same position as we try to get through this next cycle together?

Good self restraint @Paddypaws91!!

From 1dpo all sanity leaves me and all I can think about is POAS. I feel like I need to book 2 weeks holiday every 2ww just to distract myself. If only I could afford that!

@Explorers10 I decided to let it go for the rest of this cycle - what will be will be. We DTD several times and in the end that's all we can do! I am puzzled by how I haven't had a temperature rise by CD17...my highest temperatures were CD8, 9, and 10. I'm just going to tell myself that thermometers aren't perfect, my timing isn't perfect, OPKs aren't perfect, now just let it go and look forward to having a glass of wine if AF comes, after being completely dry whilst TTC.

AF arrived this morning ladies. Fx for some more bfp for you all xx

Sorry to hear that @veeboo.

@budgiebird

Yes good idea we just need to let it go! Like you said we have dtd many times and that’s all we can do within our control. Funnily enough my temperature rose today at day 21 but I’m not using a proper thermometer as I heard you are suppose to use one with 2 decimal places whereas I got the one with 1 decimal place

@veeboo really sorry your AF has come.

Sorry veebo xx

How do the cheap opks work? Never used them before only clearblue

@Explorers10 The cheap strips measure lutenising hormone (LH). Shortly before ovulation, you have a surge of LH which the strips indicate if you get two lines of equal darkness. It only lasts a short period of time. The Clearblue Advanced looks for estrogen rise (which builds up over many days prior to ovulation and shows as "high fertility") and LH surge ("peak fertility").

Hi guys, just checking in.

Had some sharp short on and off pains on the left side of my uterus from 8dpo-10dpo, but nothing since and no other symptoms to report.

How's everyone else waiting to test getting on?

Hello everyone,

I'm around 10dpo today. 11dpo maximum.

I went to bed at 8pm last night, early because I was exhausted as we'd been out the previous two nights.

I hadn't had a drink from about 5pm onwards.

I woke up at 4am and decided to do a test. (So an 8 hour hold). I didn't want to disturb DH so didn't really look at the test too hard. Test looked negative at first glance and I fell back to sleep.

I woke up again at 8am and looked at the test. The test line was bright red!

I did a FRER at 8am (4 hour hold but at 4am I had drank about two pints of liquid) sadly, nothing. Not a sniff of a line.

Sensible me knows that I should disregard the test as the line appeared after 10 minutes but 1) it's so dark and red 2) I was probably very dehydrated so HCG concentrated? and 3) a clinician who works in lab settings said that tests only turn a colour if HCG is detected on this quite infamous thread (it always pops up on forums and in google. His messages start a few posts down and his name is Roy) forum.madeformums.com/pregnancy/160517-confusing-pregnancy-test-result-help.html

I've attached a photo. I know nobody can Give me answers and it will probably result in nothing at all, but I'll keep you all posted over the next few days anyway 🤣😂

The quality of the test is awful (now) because I carried it around in my dressing gown pocket this morning so it got a bit covered in fluff 🤣🤣

@wildflower2019 that's a definite positive test!

Hmmm but it showed up (probably) hours later and I got a negative four hours later (second morning urine)

Guess I'll wait and see...?!

@WildFlower2019 I've read that article before and it does make a lot of sense! Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞🤞

Positive cheapy opk here tonight so I'm guessing ov will happen tomorrow! Then it's the dreaded 2ww!

Thanks peachy good luck with your tww xxx

Wow @WildFlower2019 fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞🏼 x

Looks very promising @WildFlower2019!! When are you going to do another test?!

@ wildflower2019 looks promising!! Fx it turns into something!! When are you going to rest again?

Parked my car yesterday and the car in front of my had ‘BFP’ in the number plate. I’m hoping it’s some kind of sign for this cycle ! 😂😂

Can I join in?
Cycle 2 (ish - post Implanon aka the worst mistake ever)
CD 25
6dpo
Age 35
TTC #2
Have used clear blue dual OPK plus pressed.

THE WAITING IS DREADFUL!

Good luck y'all

Morning All! Been lurking around for while, now asking your help. I m 12 or 13 dpo and AF due tomorrow. Did the test today in the morning. No patience to wait. Will test again tomorrow. Is it me or there is a very faint line?

I can see something. Maybe test again tomorrow or get a frer?

So I've started spotting this morning...

Update: I took a FRER with FMU (which was very diluted) and an IC with SMU (still diluted, an hour after the first).

Both tests read negative at the 3 (FRER) and 5 (IC) minute mark. But then under closer inspection, they do have very faint (as in, hold up a torch to see faint) lines. Both within the 10-minute mark before you have to discard.

I swear they have a bit of colour, but I had the same thing in previous cycles so I am disregarding. They're too faint to even pick up on camera. I know they are indents or evaps. I doubt it's anything to be excited about .... but you do still live in hope, don't you? I'll try my last FRER tomorrow at 12dpo. If that's negative, I'll deffo know I'm out then.

Oh I've now started spotting right on cue, when my app said I would before my period.... so I'm deffo thinking I'm out

@WildFlower2019 😔 sorry lovely. Is spotting normal for you? Xx
