May Bus Continued...

[SmileyT]

I didn't want to miss everyone's BFPs this week and our last bus is nearly full up so thought I'd jump over here.

CD25 - 11dpo - testing at the weekend 😬

Sorry guys I forgot to attach lol the photo isn’t showing it as clear as I can see it. Xx

Morning ladies. 10DPO and BFN for me. Not even a hint of a line 😔. I know it's still early but I feel like of I was pregnant there would be at least the shadow of a line so feeling pretty deflated and think I'm out for the month. Hoping for some better news from the rest of you!

@Kodasmom Does the line have colour in real life? And I agree if DH says there is a line it's a good sign, I always show my DP tests on MN and he is like 'nah they are kidding themselves it's negative' so I trust he'd be honest with you, will you test again in the morning?... 🙌🏾

@notyetamumbuttrying oh I'm sorry it wasn't the result we wanted this morning 😕 hope you are not feeling too disheartened by it. I definitely don't normally call it my hooch but was trying to find the most socially acceptable word to use 😂

@Noble89 you know it's too early to be certain, will you test again on Saturday?

@J0DI3 oh I'm sorry 😕 so frustrating that you've waited aswell and the witch doesn't show up and it's not a BFP

@SmileyT yeah it’s disappointing but I’m trying to stay positive! I have an OPK arriving today so I will start using them for an accurate reading of when ovulation happens in the hope we have a better chance next month. Onto the June bus... 😂

@SmileyT it’s very faint but yes a blue line. I’ve attached another photo that might show it better. Hopefully I’ll get a darker one as the week progresses.

@Noble89 and @notyetamumbuttrying sorry it wasn’t the result you Both wanted. Are you going to keep testing?

Can you see it any clearer in these?

@Kodasmom congratulations! That's 100% positive and I'm sure if you test again in a few days the line will be stronger 😊

@SmileyT I know it's still early so yes I'll test again in a couple of days. I've gone back through my Flo app and actually my BFP last time was 12 DPO not 11 so that's made me feel a bit better

@Kodasmom defo a faint line there! How many dpo are you again?
@SmileyT hooch works for inoffensive for sure! I tend to say fan lol. Yeah I'm ok actually, but it's just compounding my feelings that's somethings wrong with us, but we'll see. As soon as my gp's open again I'm booking us in for fertility tests.

Morning Ladies!
I'm 13 DPO today and clearblues arrived in the post yesterday so thought I'd give it a shot. Got a BFN ☹️AF due tomorrow, hoping for a better result next cycle 💜

Congratulations @Kodasmom I'm shit at seeing the lines on my phone but can definitely see a blue line in that second picture 🙌🏾 how exciting, how are you feeling?

Test with me on Saturday @Noble89 🙏 I so wish I was one of those people that had signs of AF in advance, 12dpo and apart from a bit of pressure this morning (but realising I haven't 💩 in the last 36hrs so could be that 😂) I've got nada.

@notyetamumbuttrying my go to is normally vag 😂 - remind me how long you have been trying? I might get some tests done when everything is back to normal... even if it's only to put my mind at ease that I'm not attempting an impossible task.

@Julia529 sorry it was a BFN this morning... how did you track ovulation this month?

Thanks everyone, I’m feeling excited but still scared that it’s not really happening to me. I don’t think I’ll be happy until Monday passes and AF doesn’t come. The cramping and spotting is annoying me too.

@notyetamumbuttrying I’m 11dpo. AF is due Monday.

@SmileyT you do have to really concentrate when looking. I keep going back to look at it.

@Noble89 there is still hope so fingers crossed.

@SmileyT vag is a great one lol!
So 8 months at present, so heading into cycle 9 after AF is done. 9 months seem to be the marker for ppl I know so will try and hold off booking in until 10 months trying. I'm 34 so hoping they'll just get me started on the tests. Hubby's 37 but it's less about men's age isn't it. How long have you been trying?

@SmileyT mate we both know I'll be testing every day from now till AF because I've got no will power 😂. I had cramping yesterday and today but I don't usually get any cramping till the day before/day of AF which would be Monday for me. I'm just gonna keep hoping and I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

Why are you concerned there's something wrong? How long have you been trying? I know it's so horrible waiting and wondering but I read somewhere that even if you're perfectly fit and healthy with no fertility issues and have sex at the right time etc that you only have a 25% chance of conceiving each month so unless you've been trying for the best part of a year there's really no reason to think anything is wrong

@notyetamumbuttrying @Noble89
This is literally my first month ttc and me and DP had a bit of an argument about it this morning before I left for work, he said 'you're definitely not pregnant' and although I agreed I just kinda lost my mind about it. After the MC in March I'm just obsessed and we did conceive then without trying and probably makes me seem so impatient but even though logically I know there probably isn't an issue as we had no follow up after MC I just feel like I want to check that out for myself. I'm 32 this year and would love to have a few so feel like I need to get my skates on aswell. Sorry this is horribly self-indulgent but feels better to write it down.

I've decided to test tomorrow and then crack open a bottle of wine Friday night as a consolation prize... xx

@SmileyT Ahh mate it doesn't sound at all self indulgent. It's completely normal to feel the way you do and we all get it. Men can be idiots sometimes and they don't understand the pressure were under as women as even though it takes two to make a baby we always feel like it's our fault when it doesn't happen. Last time we were TTC mine kept saying 'are you pregnant yet?' in like a jokey tone and although it was completely innocent and he was just trying to lighten the mood I eventually lost my shit with him. He apologised and said it was a complete joke and he was just trying to be funny but he's not said it since 😂.

The fact you know you can conceive and conceived quickly last time is a very good thing. Honestly there's nothing wrong with you, give it 3 cycles and then of nothing is happening maybe approach your doctor then xx

@SmileyT I used app'a and CM only. I'm going to order some ovulation tests for next cycle and try those instead. Just want AF to show up now to start again 🤞🏼

@Julia529 I’ve heard really good things about the OPKs so am looking forward to testing with them. I’ve ordered the CB digital x

@J0DI3 I'm going to do the same! I have been looking through the threads this morning and it seems CB digital comes up frequently so going to order those

@Julia529 yeah I’ve had a few recommendations about them specifically so have taken that on board. Makes me feel quite confident about the next cycle x

@Kodasmom That is definitely positive, so exciting 💜 looks exactly as mines did when I got 'pregnant' the same day on a digital. There is no doubting your test. Congratulations 🥰

@Julia529 @J0DI3 That's what I've got, the CB digital to start this cycle I will be starting it Monday 🤞🏻

@Noble89 So sorry it was a BFN this morning, but still super early so keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 & I know youl be POAS daily now 😂

@SmileyT Definitely not self indulgent lovely, that's what were here for to have a moan about OH & all things TTC 😂 its understandable why u feel like u do & like @Noble89 says men just dont understand the insane pressure for women!
Good luck for testing tomorrow 🤞🏻

Thank you @KRK05 as the day goes on I’m convincing myself more and more that it’s definitely positive. I’m new to all of this so I’m googling everything and reading into everything.

@KRK05 oh without a doubt 😂. I'm so tempted to test again tonight but I won't, I'm gonna hold out till tomorrow morning.

Possible TMI but DP and I DTD this afternoon and when I wiped I had some brown spotting. It was just the when I wiped and it's stopped completely now but now I'm freaking out as that's never happened before 😭

Ladies call me crazy but I heard a tip on Instagram .. apparently keeping your feet warm helps make your Uterus more attractive for implantation. I follow a lady who is now pregnant after having ivf due to having NK cells. And the clinic told her to keep her feet warm!

@Dreaming101 my feet are always cold! Thanks for the tip 👍🏼
