@MichT4 yes defo patience is needed and this TTC process saps all of that out of us.

@VP91x sorry they've been a load of pants. Do you get your blood results today?
Enjoy OHs birthday, sounds like he's in for a day of lots of good food and hopefully dessert later haha

I really don't want to miss the window, I'm hoping it shifts a bit in the app and OPKs give me a better understanding. At the moment I'm down to ovulate on the 25th which is the day of the birthday, so I might visit the day before and come back in the evening of 25th and pounce on OH as soon as I get home lol will make it work somehow I'm sure! I can't miss out on life because of TTC :)

VP91x · 13/08/2020 10:56

@MichT4 yeah there's two early in the pack, maybe just use the CB tomorrow and save FRER for next day? HCG doubles every other day or something doesn't it?

Have you got your chart now? Did you end up plotting on FF?

@MrsK21 haha thank you, I suppose I better wear some nice knickers later 😂😂. I'm hoping they'll come today, I keep checking my NHS app like a loon. Well at least doing the OPKs will help and if you see them go dark or peak you can make a decision haha. Is it far to go? Xx

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 11:00

@VP91x yeah I've put temps on FF, I sent that chart earlier didn't I!?

Nice knickers?? Very lucky. My OH couldn't care less about nice knickers - saves me some money that I spend on sticks to wee on xx

VP91x · 13/08/2020 11:05

@MichT4 haha mine doesn't either, but I like to get them out sometimes.

No, I don't think so.. Unless I'm going mad again xx

@VP91x I thought you'd even commented on it 😂 are we all going mad??

Thank you @1990EM ❤️ Congratulations on your confirmation tests @Lollol86 😁
@MichT4 and @HE88 I felt like something was catching my eye on both of your tests. Try again for sure xx
Hope everyone is good and has a good Thursday, a bit cooler here today so far 🙂 our wedding anniversary today but DH at work so will just have cosy night in with dinner later. He’s working all weekend too so can’t do anything then. Taking my mum home in a bit x

VP91x · 13/08/2020 11:10

@MichT4 omg sorry yes you did 😂😂😂😂

@VP91x 🤣🤣🤣🤣

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 11:14

Thanks @Pugprincess I feel like I'm clutching at straws but will test again anyway just to make sure. Of course AF might show her face before I get the chance.

Happy anniversary to you! Hope you have a lovely dinner xx

2020wish · 13/08/2020 11:15

@MichT4 I honestly think there is something up with the frer these days tho. I think the company have changed the sensitivity and not let on. But then again they never did advertise the sensitivity. We all know they haven’t worked for me at all this year! 4 pregnancies they have always been negative even tho clear blue early detection very clear positives. Even right up until AF is late. So I dunno if they start going positive for me after af is late but wouldn’t waste my money by that point when clear blue digital has confirmed. And I’ve read so many threads on here now from people with the same issues, frer not showing positive when clear blue early detection has. Tomorrow test with clear blue and frer and just see. Yes there are 3 in the pack, two normal ones and a digital. If it’s a BFP and u still want to monitor line progression I recommend the easy@home from amazon

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 11:17

@2020wish thank you. I'm kicking myself now for not using a CB but I suppose whatever it tells me tomorrow is better than I'd have seen today.
If I do get a BFP I absolutely do NOT want to check line progression. Do not let me do it 😂😂 xx

2020wish · 13/08/2020 11:19

@MichT4 then do not, I repeat , DO NOT LISTEN TO ME, because I have no self control and think I ended up with a mild poas addiction. Lol

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 11:24

@2020wish only because I did it mildly last time and it made me anxious. No doubt I'll want to do it again but I would rather not if I can help it. Although when I see yours and others with healthy pregnancies it makes me want to. I only say that because mine have ended how they have xx

HE88 · 13/08/2020 11:27

Thanks ladies I'll hold off a couple of days and test again. I've got one FRER left but tempted to stock up on some clear blue after some of you mentioning them. I used them as FRER when I fell pregnant last time.

@lollol86 sorry I meant to say congrats on your bfp lovely news.

@MichT4 just went and looked at your pic I feel like I can see a vfl.

@Pugprincess have you had your bfp? Sorry I've not caught up on everything as there is too much to go back and read up on.

Lollol86 · 13/08/2020 11:34

@Pugprincess thank you, hopefully we get the chance to share this journey together.
Happy anniversary ❤️

@SmileyT can I just ask whether you are still taking calc Fluor?

@MichT4 I've used a pot to pee in so I can do multiple tests with my fmu, not sure if you have done that but if not it may be worth it so you can try cb and FRER.

I'm not going anywhere just yet girls if that's ok? I'm not ready to join an April 2021 thread and I also want to stick here to see you all get your bfp I'm here cheering you all on.

MichT4 · 13/08/2020 11:37

@Lollol86 yeah I pee in a pot otherwise I'd get it everywhere 😂. So I can do both tomorrow if I want to. Not sure whether to do both or not

Yes, please stick around xx

HappyVibes · 13/08/2020 11:39

@HE88 I wouldn’t dismiss FRER - I think everyone’s bodies responds different. My friend was the opposite whereby FRER was showing BFP, then same day and same sample, she got a BFN with CBD. So, it’s definitely not a no no for FRER don’t dismiss them as a brand hun. Just retest with what you have in a day or so & get ready for that BFP & the excitement and joy that is going to come with it lovely 💓

2020wish · 13/08/2020 11:41

@MichT4 I know what u mean. It made me anxious also but just like ur history, mine with the 6 weeks loss and chemicals I noticed a difference this time round and the way I thought about it was that the line progression was either going to give me a heads up something may be wrong and come to terms or reassure me a bit. But that was my own issues cause I’ve seen some people with really faint lines that don’t really progress and go on to have healthy pregnancies. I don’t recommend continuing to test at all as it can get heavy. It’s just one of those things tho I couldn’t stop lol

@HE88 yes use both clear blue and frer

HappyVibes · 13/08/2020 11:41

@Lollol86 that is so cute you’re sticking around to cheer us all on! I love that! How cute is this thread though? I’m loving all these BFP stories.

Re: calc Fluor, has anyone got any advice re: this please or point me in the right direction to read up more on it? I’m intrigued. After 2 chemicals & 1 MMC I am more than open to ideas to support implantation & a sticky lil bean.

Xxx

HE88 · 13/08/2020 11:47

@HappyVibes thank you I used both brands last time and got clear positives on both its so weird how everyone can react differently to the tests. Xx

@2020wish I'm off to my amazon app now lol. Xx

Lollol86 · 13/08/2020 11:49

@HappyVibes it's such a lovely group. Not judging here and always great advice.
Calc Fluor helps with implantation. Is have to be calc Fluor 6x. Amazon sells it. It's the first month I've tried it so no idea whether that helped or not xx

Lollol86 · 13/08/2020 11:49

@HappyVibes should be no judging

Pugprincess · 13/08/2020 11:59

@Lollol86 I’m still taking my calc Fluor. Hope that’s right thing to do. It’s just extra calcium isn’t it. My doc said everything I need should be in pregnacare but didn’t have a problem with me carrying on.

@HappyVibes it’s like a calcium tissue salts supplement for twice a day in the tww and I think into pregnancy 🤞🏻😂 it helps to form bones teeth etc and I think we take it to help lining too.

@HE88 yes I’m a BFP 🙂 I’m 4 weeks 4 days today but I want to stay on this thread as it’s all I’ve ever known and I don’t feel cock sure of myself that nothing would happen again. My last preg was my first and it took us 5 years of trying for that so I have nothing to compare to.

@MichT4 I didn’t get on with frer either although I was really early when I used it but I was convinced I kept seeing something on the cheapies. I don’t know with me if I did have some left over hcg that appeared sometimes as it was up and down and then got properly strong after implantation, don’t know how to explain that one. Try a cheapie TMZ morn if you have one 🤞🏻

Thanks for anniversary wishes, 4 years married and 17 years together ❤️

scrambledeggy · 13/08/2020 12:00

@Northernsoul90 OOH that sounds delicious! Sorry to let you, @MichT4 @Firevie down, but I'm still too knackered to bake, I just picked up some of those Gu ones on offer at the supermarket. I'll probably have one now and another after tea Grin BUT I have made salted caramel cheesecake before and that could be a project for this weekend! Could even sprinke some biscoff on top...

@Lollol86 It is an honour to have you sticking around! I hope I can pull that BFP out of the bag for you 🤩

@MrsK21 Thank you for the tip if I can get to see a GP any time soon I'll bring it up! Before I went on the mini pill aged 18, I had regular-ish (35-37) day cycles, which returned when I came off the pill in the spring. My chemical was around CD 45 this cycle and I haven't had a proper bleed since, though I have apparently ovulated! WTF! Hope you can sort out your fertile week dilemma, as someone who met my DH at secondary school I'm well used to DTD a wall apart from family and it's definitely not my favourite way to do things 😅

@MichT4 Glad he is well and that his balls are intact, phew!

@VP91x I can't get fertility friend to produce a proper chart because of all the missing values I have pre-chemical. When I have a more complete cycle I'm going to try again. Happy birthday to your OH!

Welcome @BK23, sorry to hear you've experienced a loss, trust me, you'll pick up all the abbreviations very soon, I definitely did ! FYI lots of them are on here.

scrambledeggy · 13/08/2020 12:01

Oh and happy anniversary @Pugprincess !!! 17 years!!! I need to know your secret!
