Hello everyone,

I am 37 going on 38 in December. TTC baby number 3. Came off the pill on the 1st may (2020). Previously I was on syanna press( depo).
I ovulated yesterday 😊
I only just finished my period on the 9th so didn't expect ovulation just yet. Also I am very new to using ovulation test. This is my second time using it. I am using the easy@home brand.
I have two boys ages 15 and 3years.❤️

Please join on this journey with me, so we can cheer each other up, share advice and information etc..

Good luck to all. FlowersSmile

@MrsTtobe well there you have it- that’s your distraction- a needy 2 year old 👍 I know what you mean... first half of my cycle I’m all about the sexy time and second half I have ugly pjs on and head in a book 😂 dp doesn’t know what is going on! Thankfully he’s very laid back and just goes with the flow!

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 11:04

And yes I’ve got frer arriving tomorrow 😱😬

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 11:05

Although a bit apprehensive about frer now if they are False positives 😕

musiceverywhere · 01/06/2020 11:05

Me too!

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 11:07

@musiceverywhere I know that’s really disheartening for you 😔

musiceverywhere · 01/06/2020 11:17

Me too! Although I guess possible something started to happen and gave out tiny bit of HCG and then lost? I suspect my uterine lining is quick thick so it doesn't take much to cause a decent bleed and quite likely that cycle not back to normal yet. May try a FRER tonight anyway just for confirmation and then have a glass of wine!

lucieloos · 01/06/2020 11:21

@musiceverywhere so sorry about frer @Loladoodle honestly frer have gotten so bad! From my experience I can see some sort of line on most of the ones I do now. After my horrendous last cycle where I convinced myself I was pregnant I've said I won't test until at least 12dpo now. I think frer are pretty good from that point on and there should be a clear really pink line easily visible then. Keeping everything crosssd for you and sorry for your horrible symptoms.

MrsTtobe · 01/06/2020 11:36

Sorry to sound really really dumb. Ive only ever used CB and only ever tested when ive been late! What's frer? I see the term all the time on here, is it just first response?

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 11:43

Yes first response early response test. Tomorrow I will be 13/14 dpo so hoping for a line but not feeling too optimistic

Lynnysong · 01/06/2020 11:53

I found some opks in the house and I'm having a go. It was nice to see two lines on a test tbh lol.

The Femometer app lets you take a pic and it analyses the test for you. I got lh 8.

Resting heart rate goes up a couple of days before ovulation so hopefully it will go up tomorrow, got some stretchy cm too. Tmi sorry.

I've never analysed or tracked myself so much before. It would be interesting if I wasn't so emotional. Just worried I won't ovulate or it won't be a good egg. But I'm doing everything I can. Supplements, tracking, donor, diet and exercise. Just need a lucky egg :)

Going to study and watch TV and try not to think about it now. Hope you're all ok and we get lots more bfps, including me fx x

Lynnysong · 01/06/2020 12:00

I was mega weepy before af last time. I also convince myself I'm pregnant every cycle. If I ever do get a bfp I probably won't believe it lol x

Lynnysong · 01/06/2020 12:21

@musiceverywhere dpo 9 is when implantation most often happens so fx

MrsTtobe · 01/06/2020 13:14

@Loladoodle ahh thank you, so are you planning on doing frer tomorrow? How exciting! 🤞

@Lynnysong hey. Any further forward with meeting your donor yet? Wishing you a lovely lucky little egg too.❤🤞

Matilda19 · 01/06/2020 13:16

Good luck all and welcome to newbie ladies
My heads all over. Back to work tomorrow had covid19 8 weeks off work (specialist nurse) really wanna stay with kids ans fiancé. But im off to work and kids to school.
I am hoping it takes my mind off tcc darling fiance is more than supportive and happy to wait till it happens but im like i want bfp now.. Super emotional only second bleed since had implant out and not enjoying them at all!.
Baby dust to all x

Lynnysong · 01/06/2020 17:28

@Loladoodle got my fingers crossed for you, good luck x

@MrsTtobe he's hopefully coming round Wednesday evening, got the ai supplies in. I'm a bit nervous.

Might do another opk, I'm worried I'm going to ovulate early cause of the soy. Timing is really difficult when you only get one shot Confused

Lynnysong · 01/06/2020 17:30

@Matilda19 I'm back at one of my jobs, my head is all over the place too, hope you get your bfp soon x

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 17:32

Thanks @lynnysong and good luck for wed!

I stupidly again on impulse did the other Cb digi - “not pregnant” don’t even know why I did it!! Just because it was here. Didn’t even use fmu I used very diluted mid day after various glasses of water 😳 it’s official... I am 🥜

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 17:42

I’ve had terrible tummy cramps for days! Taking paracetamol again today for it and my tummy is making crazy gurgling noises. If this is what it will be like before af every month I am going to be one cranky mare! (More so than usual)

Sleeeeeepy · 01/06/2020 18:35

I'm so bad with tests, if I've got them I have no will power, it's not just you @Loladoodle !

Loladoodle · 01/06/2020 18:42

@Sleeeeeepy I know I’m glad I don’t have any more I’d prob keep going through them!

Sleeeeeepy · 01/06/2020 18:47

I've got one more FRER. I can't be pregnant, but can I resist?! I think I'm going to buy some cheapie ovulation tests so I can do one a day to see what my body is up to and distract me 😂

Posy1 · 01/06/2020 19:30

@Sleeeeeepy @loladoodle I'm the same with testing. I use the internet cheapies though, so it saves a bit of money. 😂😂
I have had horrendous cramps today (worse than usual). Spent an hour in bed drinking decaf coffee and dark chocolate earlier. My TTC midday substitute for wine and milk choc! Anyone else on CD1 today?

Posy1 · 01/06/2020 19:32

@Loladoodle was it you that said you suffer really badly with PMT? This month was crazy for me. My OH thought I was going nuts.

Snebblesmamma · 01/06/2020 19:33

@Sleeeeeepy I’m exactly the same. I manage to get to about 12dpo and instead of just waiting it out 2 more days, when I’ve already waited 12 just seems impossible so I test 🤦🏽‍♀️
Tell myself every month I will wait but I can’t.

Dipsy77 · 01/06/2020 19:40

Hi all can I join. ?,
I'm 43 I have 3 girls a 23 year old, a 21 year old with my ex husband and an 8 month old with my new partner.
We decided we wanted another so our DD has someone to grow up with and I fell pregnant in December, unfortunately I had a MMC in February at 9 weeks and after a few complications I finally stopped bleeding The End of March. I'm currently on cycle 2 after MMC and trying SMEP for the first time, I'm also using a fertility cup, Calc fluer, vitamin d and pregnacare. I'm 7DPO and trying not to symptom spot, oh and I have an Ava bracelet coming this week Smile
