Testing 19/01 onwards

[Mp0304]

Hi who else is testing from the 19th? It's amazing how lonely ttc can be when you're trying to stay chill and calm with your partner ❤️

@mamapixie and @morganmom I don't think it's called femometer but it sounds like the same thing. Natural cycles app. I have found my temperatures have done exactly what they are meant to and they confirmed my ovulation was on the day after it was predicted and it coincided perfectly with symptoms. It's good because it tells you when your most fertile days are and when to take ovulation tests if you want (I haven't yet) Over time it tracks the trends in your own cycle and uses it to make predictions of your fertile days more accurate. After I have another baby (fingers crossed!) I am going to use it for contraception too. My friend was using it as contraception for a year and then switched it to 'get pregnant' mode and concieved instantly ...

@MamaPixie Oh my gosh! Me too! I had pink discharge last night, slight brown spotting this morning and then back to normal discharge, now it's back to pink though.

Before it went back to pink this evening I was convinced it was implantation bleeding... especially as AF was due Monday. Probably all in my head though and I'll get another BFN tomorrow morning (to add to my other 5 this week!!!)

Fingers crossed for you!

@TFC90 don’t count yourself out yet! Hoping BFP for you !

@Morganmom Well it was another BFN again this morning, still very pale pink discharge.... I read it takes 2-3 days to get a positive after implantation.

I'm now on CD30 and my two natural cycles since coming off the pill have been 26 days....

Far too good to be true. AF will arrive in full force today I reckon. Sods law because I was so convinced last night, I made a pregnancy announcement to tell my husband

@TFC90 don't despair!!! It can take up to 6 months for your body to get back to ovulating and cycling properly after coming off of the pill, the fact that you've had 2 26 day natural cycles already is a super good sign!
You may ovulate quite late in your cycle, 30 days could only be day 10/11/12 DPO which could still be too early to detect a LH surge. I'd give it another 3/4 days and then maybe test again 😊

Thank you @Morganmom although I'm convinced I have an infection as I've literally had no more spotting. My boobs are swollen and painful and I'm telling myself - No! That would be the two slices of toast you eat with butter every time you come in from work you fatty 😂 you're not pregnant!!!!

Ahh! @TFC90 I’m still hoping for you !!!

@MamaPixie I was just contemplating having another piece of toast! I do butter and jelly😂. So fat! I have joined weight watchers! Not doing great...

@Morganmom oooh that sounds tasty 😊 food really makes me happy. That's a big step joining WW, you're doing all the right things! I keep on promising myself that I'll join the gym when it gets a bit warmer 🙈

@MamaPixie @Morganmom So I might've just taken another test... I know it's meant to be first thing in the morning but still no AF and they are ICs...

Call me crazy but I think I might've seen a very very faint line. But maybe I was looking at it far too long. And by faint I mean I had to stare at it.... So you don't get excited here's a photo. Totally didn't show up in it!

Gah!!!! I told my hubby when I thought my period started so he's expecting to have a bottle of wine for valentine's tomorrow but I obviously don't want to... But equally I've got this big announcement planned and don't want to tell him until I've several definite positives!

Oh here's the pic

@TFC90 maybe take another one this morning to see if it's any darker? It's hard to tell in the photo but I'm sure it's clearer in person 🙂 I don't know, it's either going to be make an excuse or come clean? Or hopefully this morning makes it more concrete!

I had this daft notion of getting a stick and putting it in my partner's V day card this morning.
BFN on a FR!! I'm 9dpo so was hoping for the faintest of lines if I'd implanted 2 days ago. Grumpy now ☹️

@MamaPixie I took one, it was a stark BFN!

I don't really understand, I was due AF Monday but that's only based on the last two natural cycles and had it come Monday it would have made my luteus phase crazy short. Today I think I'm 14 dpo. My temp is still high and I had what could be an implantation dip exactly the same time as I got spotting earlier in the week. I feel like everything is pointing to pregnancy except the tests... Which at 14dpo should be reading positive!!

Tackled the wine thing, I told him it was just had for fertility and we're doing so well not drinking at the moment. Said we could have a gin and tonic but I'm going to make sure I make them and hold the gin for me!

You're only 9dpo so there's still lots of hope! Everything crossed for you! Have you had any symptoms?

I caved and went and spent £10 on a FRER before work, even though Amazon are delivering some later today...

And look!!!!!!

@TFC90 OMG!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍

@TFC90 I'm so ridiculously happy for you!! This is wonderful news!! And on Valentine's Day too 🥰 congratulations lovely lady!!! Had you been trying for long?

@TFC90 I'm an idiot - cycle 3 - forget that 😂

I've got sore swollen boobs which came on about 4dpo which is annoying as I'm sure I'm just putting weight on and it's an unfortunate coincidence. The weird mini spot on 7dpo and sharp pains in my side (possible weird infection maybe) My partner is more optimistic than I am, he says I'm more sensitive than usual (I think that's his way of justifying me getting cross with him last night for almost scratching my car 😂)

Also @TFC90 are you in a supermarket toilet? 😂🙈 this is brilliant! Please keep that photo haha!

@MamaPixie I'm trying not to get too excited in case it's a chemical result or I MC early or something. So many of my friends have!

Noooo much classier than that! John Lewis!! Im working here today for a valentines event 🤣 I've an even better photo....

Everything crossed for you!!

@TFC90 congratulations!!!!

@TFC90 congratulations!!!

I caved and for BFN today but I'm only 7DPO and it was a cheapie so no surprise 🤣

@Ktn35 Thank you!!! It was a FRER, I did that one this morning and another one this afternoon which came up with a stronger line. Just done an IC when I got home and it's still a squinter....

Just praying it's not a chemical pregnancy 😬

@TFC90 no reason why it should be a chemical! Eeek! It's so hard not to worry - with my first pregnancy I spent the first 20 weeks in a state of anxiety despite there being no reason to be and not normally being an anxious person. I always assumed the worse. I guess it's self-protection thing! If in lucky enough to concieve again i'm going to try and be more positive 😩🤣

@Ktn35 I'm trying hard not to tell my hubby until I'm more sure and I've got a stronger line... Very difficult with it being Valentine's but I don't want to get his hopes up!

I've made a little neckerchief to put on our little puppy that says 'I'm going to be a big brother'. I'm going to test a few more times over the weekend and if it still looks promising I'll tell him Sunday....

He's getting the results of his fertility test on Monday so it will be a relief for him to know earlier 😂

@TFC90 that's really sweet 🥰 exactly what @Ktn35 says! No need to think it's a chemical - you got this!!

BFN for me again this morning, with each passing day you begin to feel more and more despairing. I'm convinced that there's something wrong with me 🤦🏽‍♀️

Well AF has come in full force 4 days early. Even if we had conceived I don't think there would've been time for implantation in a 10 day luteal phase. At first I was hoping that it was spotting but it's too heavy and too dark 😔

Good luck ladies - fingers crossed for a BFP for you! Looks like it's on to cycle 5 for me x
