@SunnyFlover @Kiza @lozzlepop @MIW01 @Anny27

Still no AF and another negative test. Hoping AF at least stays away for the weekend as I'm going on a weekend holiday to a place with a really nice pool. Part of me wants it to turn up anyway just so I get a clear answer.

Welcome @aLilNonnyMouse you've really been through it. when would you usually be due? And what are you testing with? FX for you x

@orangeloo you may have already said but how long have you been trying? I totally understand I am very depressed at the thought of going into the new year not pregnant, when I started TTC in January I thought my baby would’ve been born by now never mind not being pregnant! Plan lots of social events in December and enjoy yourself over Christmas to take your mind off it. I have a holiday coming up in 2 weeks so that will be my distraction!

I was due on Monday, using internet cheepies that came with my OPKs. Seen horrible reviews on them since though so not sure if I should trust them. I think I'm going to hold out until I get home on Monday and use a clear blue one if AF still hasn't shown as I'd be a week late by then.

I have proper FRERs!!! I am trying to hold my wee for a while before I do it - difficult as i've needed to pee every 5 minutes today!! I last peed at 12pm, trying to hang on til 2!!

Wow haven't caught up in a few days and its manic on here haha! Will have a read through.

I have been throwing up for the past few days think the medication I am on after the miscarriage is affecting me but they finish on saturday and I have stopped bleeding so it's looking up!

Sorry if I have missed messages gonna have a read back xx

@Shuckle did you manage to hold out?

Just done a proper frer, what a good line!!

@shuckle ah I have been dying to see your update!! No doubt about that!! Congratulations I’m sure you are over the moon 😃

Congratulations @Shuckle :D

@orangeloo maybe keep trying with the Accupuncture as you need a 'course' of sessions in the same way you need a 'course' of medication. Sorry to hear you're feeling so down, it's completely understandable though and have been in that dark place myself before and accept I may go there again at some point. Take time to accept your emotions, process them but also take time to enjoy yourself and focus on other areas of your life.

@Shuckle congratulations that line is stronger than the others
@Lottiepink that's sounding a bit positive 🤞🏼

@whatsthecraic91 how long do you think you will hold out before testing?

@Shuckle Congratulations!

Congrats @Shuckle great line!!

@Anny27 glad to hear the bleeding has stopped hopefully your body is well on it's way to returning to normal now.

Thanks @Kiza & @whatsthecraic91 I have been trying since December, I'm on cycle 11. Yes totally agree- this time last year thought my baby would be born by now. What blissful naivety. I know it will pass and I am really trying to concentrate on Xmas and just enjoy the fact of consolation prize that I can eat and drink what I want if I'm not successful this cycle. X

Thanks @orangeloo! Last Christmas I remember saying to DH oh perhaps there will be a bump for next Christmas....its hard passing the dates when you expected to be pregnant or have the baby!

Yep I am thinking of all the cheese, wine and pate and cured meats I can eat over Christmas:D

@Anny27 hope you are feeling a lot better soon!

@Kiza good do you think? I thought it was a bad sign? Will keep my fingers crossed but I think af is going to appear in the next hour or so 😭

@Kiza gonna try and get to Saturday morning! 🤞🏼

@orangeloo this is cycle 11 for me too it’s so shit isn’t it? Yes same here if AF shows I’ll be able to drink beers as I relax in Lanzarote and its over my fertile week too so maybe it will help being away 🤞🏼 And if not we can eat prawn cocktail and brie and drink Prosecco on Christmas Day 😊

@anny27 oh no I’m sorry you’re so ill! Hope you feel better soon

@Lottiepink isn't a temp drop a potential indication of BFP? And the cramps could be implantation or potential BFP? I could've completely got the temp thing wrong though 😕 I don't know much about anovulation. I'm going to look up the symptoms as this cycle I've O 4 days early and had no CM either...

@orangeloo I know what you mean, had also thought the same or at least 'have a baby before I'm 40'... gutting to think that may not be happening.

@Anny27 it's been a really rough one for you. Hope it eases up once the medication stops.

@whatsthecraic91 it's so hard trying to hold out from testing... keep the strength!

Hey I hope you don't mind me joining in!

I came off the pill mid October and haven't had a period since 22nd October... I've been having really bad cramps for about two weeks now, back ache and fluctuating temperatures. I have an exam on Tuesday so I've vowed that I won't test til after it's done and dusted!

🤞🏻

Thank you @Lottiepink mmm my temps have dropped and then risen before but if it's close to AF time then might not be a good sign :(

@Kiza thanks! Hopefully my rough ride this time means I get an easy pass next time?....haha here hoping

@whatsthecraic91 are you going to see the GP at the year point or have you already been?

Hello everyone

I hope you don't mind me joining in on the thread. I'm after some advice.

My partner and I are trying for our first baby. We have been trying for 6 months and I've been keeping track of ovulation by taking tests and using the Ovia app.

This month I was due to ovulate on Tuesday however felt my usual aches and pains down below on Sunday so I knew I was ovulating so I took a test and I was right. So I usually carry on taking a test until the test line become negative. This month that never happened and now looks like I've ovulated more than once! Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Sunday evening - Positive
Monday morning - Positive
Monday evening - Negative (DTD that night)
Tuesday morning - Negative
Tuesday evening - Negative
Wednesday morning - Positive
Wednesday evening - Negative
Thursday morning - Positive
Thursday evening - Positive (hoping you DTD tonight 🙈)

Really hoping someone has had a similar situation happen to them before and able to point me in the right direction as to why this has happened! Thanks you xx

@Jadey31 welcome :D

Sometimes your body will gear up to ovulate and produce LH hut not actually ovulate. So probably you geared up to ovulate but then didn't? Defo DTD toNight/tomorrow just incase:)

(But my mother in law told me that her doctor says she ovulated twice a month so could be that haha),

@Kiza I didn't think so but I'm not totally side either! I the one day drop is usually an implantation sign but mines actually been 3 days 😐 so flipping frustrating 😂 that's strange too, well we are in the same boat 🙈 if you find anything let me know haha!!

@zeeeex welcome!

@Anny27 mine always does before af but not this many days, usually only day of or day before! Totally confused! I'll just take it as a bad sign as got full on af cramps!

@Jadey31 welcome! I'm not 100% sure if I would take any of them as full positives apart from the last one. Even then to me it just looks like it's really high but I'm no mega expert and it could be my eyes as I'm shattered! But I always thought it had to be the same as the control line or darker? Does your app say if they are positive or not?

Real empathy @orangeloo @whatsthecraic91 @Kiza @Anny27 @ValidUser and also welcome @Jadey31 reality really sucks sometimes.

Got a phone call from the diagnostic centre to book my ultrasound today but unfortunately missed the call! Impressed by how quick that is though so keeping fingers crossed can get that and bloods done before Christmas 🤞

Finding the nutrition programme tough . . . Supposed to drink only water and herbal tea but struggling as despise the taste so I have decided to drink the clipper decaf with goats milk this week and try and up the ante next week when I'm off work. And despite eating well and sticking to the plan I feel ravenous! I think repercussions after recovering from the stomach bug.

And now DP just pulled out a 1kg bar of dairy milk and claimed he didn't know we were starting this week! I made him put it away and promised I'd make it up to him which he did begrudgingly

@Lottiepink yes, hoping to hit ideal range soon. The clinic I'm going to is usually happy with a BMI under 30, but because of the whole dodgy clotting thing they want mine lower.

Thanks everyone. Looking forward!

@MIW01 here's hoping you get seen soon. X
