Testing around 13th May

[Sussexbysea]

Hi all,

I joined a similar thread last month and found it really supportive. It’d be great to hear from others.

We’ve been trying for number 2 for two years now and each month gets more emotionally difficult. Xx

Xx

@Violetlilac congrats 🥳 I can definitely see the line, it's just very early so if you test again on Tuesday with the FRER it should be nice and clear for you. I'd definitely show OH it's a joint journey and I'm sure he will be very excited 🥰

@violetlilac congrats!! A line is a line in my eyes.

Anyone else testing today?

@hayho87 how are you this morning? Anything else happened since yesterday?x

@Violetlilac I see a faint line so I think it is positive! Wait 48hr and do the frer- the line should be clearer then.

@Sussexbysea my AF is due any day now. No sign of it just yet. My plan is to test of Friday if I make it. What about you?

@skyla01 I’m due af on Saturday so I’ll wait till Friday probably too. I’m feeling nervous. Because of my thyroid diagnosis we didn’t do the deed much. It’ll be totally ironic if I am

Congrats on those BFPs! Lovely news

It's a BFN for me at 13dpo Not surprising but very disappointing just the same. So, onto AF and cycle 11...

Keeping my fingers tightly crossed for everyone and looking forward to hearing your updates this week

@Sussexbysea I've got no cramping it still a tiny agony of spotting only when I wipe, I apologise in advance for the photo! I would never normally post a pic like this but I'm at such a loss! Does anyone else have spotting on a normal basis? Is it like this?? I'm 12dpo. I've still got that niggle on my left side low down but no other symptoms! Sorry again for the photo 😳

Clue predicts AF as tomorrow and another app says Friday, I'm 11dpo and not testing today. Will wait until mid week if AF hasn't shown by Wednesday (14dpo) I'll do another test then. Learning self restraint! Hope everyone else is doing ok, anyone testing today?

@hayho87 unusual, hopefully it’s nothing though.x

@Violetlilac congrats on the BFP 🥳

@hayho87 I've never really noticed spotting before my period before but the end of last cycle I had spotting exactly like this the day before my period at 13dpo, hoping it isn't AF for you though x

@hayho87 the day before with period start a I often have spotting where there is a pink or light brown tinge to cm. Then my proper bleeding starts. So it could be some pre-AF spotting. Or I think implantation bleeding can look like that. Have you taken a test? I think you'll just have to wait and see if it turns in to AF of not. Fc for you! Keep us updated x

That didn't make much sense! Should say "the day before my period starts..."

@beachbum85 sorry about BFN. Keep the faith - it will happen for us one day.

@violetlilac I can definitely see a faint line! Huge congrats!

Hope it's okay to join in (I'm joining every group going 😂) my AF is due today but it hasn't showed so far! I'm 15DPO ... back aches, feeling a teeny bit dizzy and I've had low level cramps pretty much the last 6 days ... too scared to test though to see the BFN so going to try and wait until tomorrow - if AF still a no show! Xx

Thank you @Skyla01 - had a little frustrated cry but I'm feeling OK now and looking forward to AF so we can start again
Hoping your AF doesn't show!

@TTCgee sounds promising! Good luck!

@beachbum85 glad you are feeling ok. I'm so used to AF rocking up that I just expect it each month. But I'll be so excited that one time it doesn't! A new cycle is a new start & a new opportunity.

Eek!! So you ladies think it's a positive??

I'll test again in few days.

I'm in shock 🤣 baby dust to you all!!

Ekkk congrats @violetlilac great news please share your next test with us! 😍

@hayho87 it really could be! Got everything crossed for you xx

Hello my lovelies!

Could I join in with you girls? 🙈
I find it comforting when I see online posts such as this- atleast I’m not on my own!!
Just a little background on myself; I’m 27 yrs old and have been with my husband for 7 years. We sadly had a MC a few years back and the experience left me not wanting to conceive anymore. I’ve since had various contraception methods, from pills to having an implant, then removing it after a few months to having it put back again, pills pills pills and more pills- Maybe this has in part affected my abilities to conceive? Both me and my husband are healthy, gyming, eating well. I know stress is a big factor when it comes to TTC but I can’t help but flood myself with worry 😞 when I hear my friends and family/in laws with pregnancy news. I have this depressive heavy stone in my stomach- what’s wrong with me? What am I doing wrong? Is it me or my husband?
Anyhoo, I’ve officially been contraception free since the beginning of the year and have been ttc since. Fast forward to this present month.... Just when I thought I would give up, I finally had a positive ovulation test on 5th May. Yaaaayyy!!! First day of last period was 20th April and I’m feeling somewhat hopeful a part of me doesn’t want to get too excited but the positive OV test had me in tears. I feel so overwhelmed and confused 😩 so I’m glad I joined, it brings me some comfort.
I’m currently 5 dpo and I’m trying not go crazy but I feel so sluggish and this constant feeling of something stuck in my throat and feeling nauseous. This morning I’ve had cramps and twinging on my left side ovary. My boobs feel soft and fuller.
What day do you recon I should test ladies??
Baby dust to all and I hope and pray for everyone- it’s not easy this TTC business ha!

Haven't done any tests, I'm waiting for AF or a proper symptom to smack me in the face! 😂 haha everything crossed ladies🤞🏼 we need lots of positives this month! Xx

@Violetlilac if you see two coloured lines then it's positive however faint they are as they only produce a 2nd line if it detects hcg, false positives are very rare so please try and enjoy the moment ❤️

@Leema23 hello lovely... sorry you have been through so much, I've also suffered a MC and know that it can really set you back emotionally. Personally I'd say testing around 13dpo gives you the best chance of a conclusive result as you can implant from 6-12dpo which is when the pregnancy starts and hcg is produced. Really hoping that you get your rainbow baby this month 🌈

@Leema23 welcome to the group. Sorry to hear of your struggles. You’ll be comforted to know there’s lots of us on here in your position. I miscarried in September, I’m hopeful this is our month x

Hello, I hope you don’t mind me joining!

I’ve been reading through past forums for ages and have wanted to join one to talk to people going through the same thing!

I’m 28 years old, recently married, but have been with my husband for 9 years. I’m on cycle 6, 9 DPO and it’s all I can think about. Hoping this cycle is the magical, lucky one.

As someone who grew up playing the Sims, I thought having a baby would be so much easier than this!

Baby dust to you all, Rach x

@SmileyT I had my username changed 🙏 thank you for the kind words! I’m sorry to hear about your MC. Mine really threw me off as I was doing all the right things 😞 It’s especially hard when family members ask if we’re trying 😩 it’s a lot of pressure as my husband’s sister is pregnant and so is his cousin. I try not to look so wounded but deep down it kills every cycle.
I need all the prayers and luck that I can get. Otherwise my only option left is to visit the doctors and I was hoping that would be the last ever resort, given the current situation I know there’ll be a long waiting list, which I totally understand!!
