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 ❤️

I’m waiting for some tests to come today I’m hoping this is our month it’s our 5th cycle trying and it’s really upsetting atm but fingers crossed

Good luck @Jessharlow81 🤞🏽what are the tests for? I hope all is ok x It's so disheartening and difficult to hear people say that it's perfectly normal though for couples between the ages of 34 - 40 to fall pregnant within a year when they're perfectly healthy - don't despair 😘 I keep on telling myself this. When are you due to test?

They where to check for infection because I was bleeding so much all come back clear thankfully I still have loads of years to get pregnant as I’m only 21 but we decided to try for my second baby 5 months ago and it still hasn’t happened it’s really bringing me down now and I’m loosing hope slowly because it’s something we both want so badly and it’s just not happening hopefully we have done enough this month to get a bfp

It’s not the case you can be any age and have problems getting pregnant I’m not due til 18th so I’m trying to wait It out longer I’m so hoping af doesn’t turn up this month

@Jessharlow81 fingers crossed for the 18th for you - try not to worry too much, you both can clearly have children which is a huge plus and you're still young so have youth on your side 😊 try do nice things for you while you wait until you're due Af to help time pass more quickly

I’ve recently taken the bottom one is this an evap line or positive

@MamaPixie hey there! Checking in with you!! I fell off there with my horrible AF strikes back week! Now I’m cycle day 11 and hoping I’m ovulating now or in last few hrs cuz DH and I DTD! I hav peak fertility so just hoping it works

Fingers crossed I’m still get faint lines more visible though 8 days til I’ll know for sure 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

@Morganmom so glad you're back 💪🏼😊 crossing everything for you - it's exciting getting to ovulation point 😊 (just before the crazy kicks in haha) I'm on day 19, we dtded from 9 to 15 just to make sure 🙈 I've promised myself not to check until 12 DPO at the earliest becuase it's too disappointing otherwise. Also - these supplements are getting expensive!! Come on uterus!! 😂

@Jessharlow81 whereabouts are you in your cycle? At the very very earliest implantation can happen at 6dpo (which is quite rare) which means at the very earliest a handful of women can test faintly positive at 8dpo with a fr pt (on average 6 days before AF depending on your cycle) I would hesitate to say that if AF is due in 8 days you are probably around 6dpo which even a blood test wouldn't pick up pregnancy wise. Your cycle could have a very long luteal phase though if you ovulate very early so may be worth checking in 4/5 days again - fingers crossed 😊

Yeah that’s a good point but I could of ovulated earlier than I thought my cycles at times can be slightly off especially this one

Hi all! I'm back in this month! I'm 4dpo I think. Been using natural cycles this month so hope it's worked!
When is everyone testing? Xx

@MamaPixie so glad to hear you r in tww! I’m not that far behind u! Pls share your supplements. I am taking DHEA but just started last week! And started ubiquinol as I had been taking coQ10 but my friend that did ivf says it has to be active form to absorb? I switched. Would luv to hear others take on it!

@Ktn35 hey there!!! I’m maybe 1 day past ovulation!!😂😂😂 but I’m already hoping for my BFP. I won’t be able to test until 12DPO so maybe around 24th!! Ugh it so hard to wait! What is natural cycle?

Evening ladies! I'm testing in two days! I noticed something different tonight on my Fitbit my resting heart rate has gone up 15 points in the last 4 days. I find this odd as I've had a lovely weekend away for a wedding and the past two days off from work and feeling much more relaxed than normal! Did anyone with positives last month notice this or am I just clutching at any signs for a potential BFP? 🤣🤣 TTW is driving me crazy this month!

@HighlandMam1
Yes! My HR went up just a smidge enough for me to notice when I was pregnant before and my body temp too which most people notice.

@Morganmom thanks!! Keeping everything crossed that this is a good sign! Tomorrow morning can't come quick enough!

Yayyyyy everyone is back!!! 😊😊 @HighlandMam1 oh gosh that does sound exciting!! It would make sense with increased bloodflow etc too - only one more day after today 🙈

@ktn35 what's a natural cycle? I'm 7 DPO so am going to test on the 16th with a sensitive CB ERT.

@Morganmom I've read lots of good things about DHEA - I thought I'd try it after this cycle if we don't get a BFP. Only really lightweight stuff - fish oil and calcium (apparently 800mg a day can help change your vaginal environment to encourage y chromosone sperm - not sure how accurate that is 🤷🏽‍♀️) chaste tree supplements and good old fashioned pregnacare conception (my partner is doing the same instead we've swapped pregnacare for wellman for sperm motility)

Oh, and a pineapple every 2 days as a lot of women swear by the bromelain going through IVF, and Brazil nuts to help increase the thickness of the uterine lining. None of this probably works but I want to feel as though I'm giving us the best chance 🙈xx

@MamaPixie I'm with you for using everything and anything to give us the highest chance possible! 😂I used conceive lube for the first time this month 🤞🏼🤞🏼

@HighlandMam1 amazing 😂 a very close friend of mine used it (the one and only time) when they conceived after 2 rounds of failed IVF - so you never know 😉

@MamaPixie I’ll start the calcium!! I luv pineapple so why not that too!

@Morganmom it can't hurt 😉😁

Soooo - just in from work and I've got the tiniest little blood clots (about the size of a pinhead) and slight spotting 😔 I'm 7dpo so doubt in can be implantation but my period is due in another week still. Feeling slightly stressed out - google is not my friend. Do you reckon it could be a fertilised egg escaping? I really hope not! I'm usually like clockwork, this is quite unusual.

@mamapixie and @morganmom natural cycles is an app where you use temperature to either concieve or avoid conception depending on the setting. Three friends fell pregnant within two months of using it last year so I have signed up! You do have to pay and order a thermometer but so far I'm really impressed with how it has confirmed my ovulation. It's also much easier to use that other apps I've tried ☺️ xx

@mamapixie could be implantation no? Sounds promising XXX

@Ktn35 ooooh is that the Femometer?? I used that first to track my cycles before using Opks. Some people don't find that their basals fluctuate correctly but mine was spot on when I used it, I found it really useful 😊 good luck!!

Oh god I don't want to get excited, I'm a nervous wreck 🙈 currently trying to plan a wedding on a shoestring too, I've had to put the laptop away because I'm shaking too much to type 😂 xx

@MamaPixie I hope it implantation! This does sound super promising!!
@Ktn35 I want to try femometer! I track my temps on my own so I would luv a tool that dies it for me!! I might order that now
