1dpo - anyone for the journey

[shelly10111]

Hi ladies, I thought after months of reading everyone's fertility posts online I'd come on in the hope to just vent etc to those trying.
I have 2 beautiful daughters 5+6 conceived first month first try - I'm now on 6 month trying with 3 chemical pregnancies so it's getting very emotional now and draining, draining because Ive has the positive tests and then started bleeding so this month I've vowed to not test until I'm a few days late! My cycles are like clockwork 28 days, I've ovulated a day early on day 11 I have my positive so I'm hoping that's a good sign, I'm taking vitamins and folic and had a lot of bed time ... hoping this is the month but going to do my best to relax! :)

Hi ladies can I join please? I'm on cycle 7 of actively tracking but came off contraception 11 months ago. Currently waiting till end of the week for myself and OH tests, if the bloods and sperm is normal then they'll take a look at my tubes. I'm really hoping we catch before it goes that far... I'm 3 dpo x

Good luck @Ellsbells112 hope you do!!

How's everyone today? 8dpo today -- OH MY GOD it's dragging, this is the first month that so far I feel NOTHING - my only thing different is that I am super super wet down there, gross ! White and quite thick, sorry TMI - no other signs, trying to stay relaxed as it usually implants around today !

I have no symptoms either and also estimated 8 DPO. I have a family get together at a house this weekend and dreading trying to hide not drinking 😬 might test on Saturday on an IC just to see if there’s anything. Dragging!

@karenkeys I'm meant to be having a drink tomororw too!! I'm so bloated but other than that I feel absolutely normal

I went for an ultrasound and internal ultrasound today as my doctor referred me to see whether I may have polycystic ovaries, really stupidly I had a tiny hope that they might say they saw that I was infact pregnant! Ridiculous I know as there’d be nothing to see this early anyway! But feel really disappointed that that wasn’t the outcome! I KNOW that’s so silly and crazy. I also felt that the sonographer didn’t really tell me one way or the other about what she could see, so now I’m obviously going crazy thinking there could be something wrong with my ovaries and here I am counting down the days just assuming I ovulated!
Please reassure me I’m not crazy 😩

8dpo here. No signs out of the ordinary.
I’ve had a huge week at work, hoping the stress hasn’t stopped my body doing it’s thing.
Do you all have a wine whilst in this TWW?
I am mindful It may huff my chances. Any advice?

@MabelBunny4 you're not going mad at all. But at least now you're definitely a step in the right direction getting things checked. I feel I've had a dull ache around my ovaries today but I think it's more wishful thinking.

Hi ladies, I'm thensame this week I don't want to drink Incase it hurts my chances, I'm 9dpo and stupidly tested and obviously got a BFN then felt like I'm out... which I know is mad and really angry at myself for testing, I'm a bit crampy today which I'm hoping is good news xx

Hi all. DH and I got back from our week away today. I admit I had a good few cocktails whilst we were away and ate lots of bad food although we did a huge amount of walking. I felt really bloated for a few day but wondering of it was just the aching legs and hips from all the walking affecting my stomach.

Now I'm 10dpo and was planning to wait until AF was due to test but DH asked me earlier how early a test can be done so now I'm thinking of using an IC tomorrow. I came on to see if anyone had tested yet and saw you had @shelly10111. But 9dpo is still so early. I didn't get a clear BFP with DD until 12dpo last year. I really want to hold out until wednesday but suspect I'll cave tomorrow.

@Shefliesonherownwings I was naughty today at 10dpo and wish I hadn't tested because I got this, opinions please ladies ??

I got same thing when pregnant with eldest the tests are literally the same but I'm so scared tokorrow it will be negative or another chemical

Morning!
10 dpo here and I also caved and did a test this morning... nothing to report (BFN) hopefully I’m just way too early!

@shelly10111 I see something for sure!

@KC68 thanks losing the will to live with all the umming and arring, trying not to get hopes up because if it's negative stark white tomorrow I'll be gutted xx

I got a BFN when testing at 10 DPO this morning so not feeling very positive now. I did so well tonight at the family gathering and managed to pretend to drink but just had soda water and lime all night with no alcohol. Will try another test on Monday to see if there’s anything. Hoping we have some positives being announced here soon!

Hi ladies here's my 11dpo BUT this test didn't darken until an hour after the time scale, it was so so light until it dried... hoping it's the start of a bfp and NOT another chemical !

Maybe a better pic

@shelly10111 I see something defo but if you're going to test early I would definitely say use first response for more accuracy x

@Missgoldilocks I use them every month, this is the first month I'm not because they are always positive ie they pick up all chemicals and these are usually negative so I actually don't rate first response, they bring a lot of heartache as they basically pick up a fertilised egg that doesn't even Implant and I don't find that logical as most woman get pregnant each month but it doesn't implant xx

@shelly10111 I can see a line on all your pictures and usually I am terrible at seeing other people's lines. I would highly recommend using a FRER, they do seem more sensitive.

As expected I caved this morning and tested. I am in shock a little and absolutely terrified because of what happened to us last year with losing our DD. Will no doubt be checking lots more over the next few days too.

Sorry just read your post about why you don't use FRERS which makes complete sense. I'm going to try to forget seeing that line in case it turns into a chemical or MC. @shelly10111 test tomorrow and see if there's more of a line.

@Shefliesonherownwigs Congrats, but yeah just don’t get too excited as it’s quite early! Fingers crossed it sticks 😀 I find it hard to see but was your IC test negative? If so I’m definitely going straight for my FRER for my next test incase I am pregnant and the IC is just not showing yet

@karenkeys I thought I could see the tiniest hint of something on an IC but it was a real squinter and I wasnt sure at all so I thought I'd check with a FRER fully expecting it to be a very clear BFN but then the faint line came up.

I'm going to try to forget I even saw those lines and just ignore it all if I can for the next few days until AF is late or turns up.

This is mine mine full dried ladies, had a stabbing twinge on off all day and boobs are really sore, here's to praying it's not another chemical as this test progressed way after the window, think now I just have to wait until due day (Friday) and see if period arrives, I'm saving my digital for a clear line 🥵

Fingers crossed for you @shelly10111
11dpo here and nothing on my tests. Well, I kind of thought there was a line...but I think I have line eyes 👀
Have the best day everyone

Another chemical I think for me, five faint tests and not getting darker, I know I'm only 12dpo but thought this morning if it wasn't another chemical it would be darker as got a faint line two days ago...
