Got my static smiley today on my clear blue advanced digital, we did the deed the last two nights and will tonight and tomorrow and probably the next day. fingers and toes crossed! This is cycle 22 for me! I'm on cycle day 19. I know it seems a lot and most people say every other day but I'm also finding around this time I'm just so in the mood! Husband is loving it 😂

@babyG123 @Lb603 I do love those apps, I think I'd be lost without them! I use femometer (any LH strip should work though, think I got 50 for £9.99 on amazon). Last cycle attached as an example :)

@ttclou congratulations!

@Juno231, those look better than my Femometer readings ever did!

Girls can I ask your opinion? Should my dip tests be getting darker every day? Sunday's BFP was v light, yesterday's a bit darker. But today is about the same if not a bit lighter than yday. A FRER still confirms pregnancy today but I'm obviously worried about the darkness of the lines...any wisdom?

@gb000 congratulations! I'd assume its to do with your hydration and the quantity of hcg passing in your urine? Probably a hormone thing.

@gb000 I think hcg is meant to double every 2-3 days so don't expect the line to get darker straight away. Maybe test 1-2 per week? Don't do it forever though, there's something called the hook effect at 6 or 7 (from memory, don't quote me lol) where the tests will start to fade or look negative because there's too much hcg in the sample.

Thanks @Juno231 and @babyG123! These are all FMU so I'm not sure hydration will Play a major role but maybe.

I agree about only testing 1/2 per week. I had no idea how difficult it would be to just chill out. Next time I am not testing until af is late!!

Thank you Smile

@2020wish whenever you feel like your ready is ok, do give yourself time to grieve though and allow your body to heal. I lost my son 23 weeks ago he was born sleeping at 23 weeks. I've never felt pain like it and doesnt go away, he was perfect in every single way, my biggest tiny blessing. I will forever love and miss him. I'm 7 weeks tomorrow and it's hard, so hard my anxiety is through the roof and I have no trust in anyone.
Good luck to you and I'm so sorry for you loss x

They have said it’s a pregnancy of unknown location :( as my test this morning was till positive but my uterus looked cleaned out and ovaries all ok.. they said if I don’t get a neg by tomorrow or next day to ring back as it may be etopic but if it’s negative I’m ready to start trying . @TTClou I’m so sorry to hear that I dunno how I must be feeling. How long did u take to start ttc again x

Hi ladies, I'm ttc, had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago at 11 weeks pregnant. We had been trying for 5 months. It was absolutely awful. Emotionally and physically. @2020wish I hope you're ok.
Two weeks on I've stopped bleeding and physically feel back to 'normal'. I'm torn between wanting to try straight away and or waiting because I'm so terrified of it happening again. We have dtd twice in 3 days (sorry TMI) so I guess we're subconsciously 'trying' without us actually talking about it.
Wishing and hoping for babies for us all in 2021 🙏

Welcome @MrsTtobe so sorry to hear. It’s hard isn’t it . Today is the day after I feel a bit numb. Me and my partner have spoke and we are going to start trying straight away ourselves x

@mrs, I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible. I hope you can take some time to yourself 💐💐

@Babyboom1990, I definitely see a line!!! Congrats.

I am still trying and failing to be chill about my BFP from Sunday. Am going to do another FRER tomorrow to compare to tuesdays FRER, and hopefully it will be darker. Period due Saturday...

Thank you so much for your kind words. It really was so hard. Not so much painful but the blood was like nothing I've seen before and ive had 2 children. But amazing how our bodies go back to normal pretty quickly.
Im just hoping to fall pregnant again and everything be ok. I think if/ when I do get pregnant again im going to be worried sick the whole way through. It's so hard not to blame yourself. How far along were you @2020wish x
