Hi @Babydreaming20. Welcome to the group, and sorry to hear of your losses. I wish you lots of luck on your journey.

I can see the line on your test lovely 🤞🏼. When do they advise you to test? I'd wait a couple of days and do another, hopefully you'll see some nice progression xx

@Northernsoul90 I really appreciate your reply ☺️ Xxx

Hi @MichT4, oh it’s nice to hear that, thank you ☺️ I am due to test on Friday 11th but would expect to see a result on an FRER before then. Yes I will definitely keep testing - the problem is it becomes obsessive after a while!! 😂

@Babydreaming20 Welcome and I've got my fingers crossed for your journey! I get so frustrated with the photo quality on here so I wouldn't want to say either way - try again in a few days and in the meantime enjoy following the other ladies' journeys and being educated on the human body!

Also @123feraverto hello, I think I might have forgotten to welcome you x

Update from me, we DTD loads during FW and now I'm a few days into the wait. Haven't had opportunity to track things closer than that as tomorrow is... moving day! The house is ready and waiting, tomorrow we're up early to load the car, drive up there and start getting settled in. I've loved being by the sea with my mum-in-law and spending time on the beach has helped me so much to keep things in perspective - a whole great ocean out there and tiny me worrying about having babies! It's been a real help in healing from the mc and I'm feeling the joy of it again. Sending my positive feelings to you ladies who are struggling with finding the joy at the moment ✨

@Babydreaming20 welcome and so sorry for your loss in May. Fx for you this month. FRER has tricked me before as there's little indents behind the test so if you hold them up to the light it looks like a BFP. Maybe try again in a few days?x

@susiebluebell thanks so much, and best of luck with your move, so exciting!

@chloedancer897 yes I agree, only time will tell. Thanks for your reply

Xxx

@Babydreaming20 welcome and sorry for your loss. I think I can see something faint at the bottom of where the second line should be but I think I have developed line vision myself over the past few days. FX for some good line progression for you.

Just an update from me, AF still not arrived and I’ve had no cramps at all since yesterday but as I’m writing this I am feeling a little twinge. Maybe it’s all in my head! I spoke with OH today and we have agreed to try SMEP for the next FW so I want AF to hurry up so we can get going again. Xx

Hi @Babydreaming20. So sorry to hear about your loss and that you’re having a tough time. I can’t really comment on the photo as the light is coming from behind the test and my eyesight it awful. It sounds like you’re being taken good care of. Good luck!

@Bellabubble it sounds like you’re body is getting back into its normal rhythm which is great. Where are you on your cycle now? Sorry if you’d said before.

So who is testing next week? 😁

@susiebluebell

Good luck with the move! How exciting!

@MinnieMouse4 thanks so much, I hope so. Enjoy the next few days of SMEP, twinging is a good sign and hopefully you will catch O!

Thanks @RichmondLady1981, yes you’re right, and it may be wishful thinking at the moment. When I had a positive last cycle there was no doubt about it. Only time will tell xxx

@HappyVibes I temp orally too. I'm currently temping throughout AF just to stay in the habit.
Like some of the other ladies have said, I just set it up right next to me so when I wake it's the first thing I do.
I found it really helpful last cycle to check I'd ovulated. And it's really interesting now to see how much lower my temps are in the first half of my cycle xxx

@Babydreaming20 So sorry about your losses, must be so heartbreaking especially when going through treatment. How does the ICSI cycle work if you don't mind me asking?

Definitely see the shadowy line you mean, are you advised to test daily or anything? Xx

@Bellabubble Yeah it is so frustrating but always helps to know what next steps should be! I know, just have to try and get it under control so I actually ovulate each month instead of nothing because then I have a fair chance of falling pregnant. How are you feeling?

@susiebluebell brilliant news abour your move I hope it all goes well!! So exciting that you'll be in a lovely part of the world xx

Glad to hear your scans have gone ok this weekend @Lollol86 & @Pugprincess ❤️

Got my blood test tomorrow (the roughly 7 days before AF one). Hate blood tests 😫 but looking forward to getting some answers either way.

@VP91x thanks so much, it’s so hard to not read into the shadow and driving myself mad guessing about it all today!! 😒

Happy to answer any questions - ICSI is like IVF except the sperm is dropped onto the egg to help increase the chances of success. We went that route as my DH is on medication that may affect a pregnancy so it was the safest option for a baby xx

@VP91x I’m not feeling to positive about it all at the moment - mostly because my friend is due to tive birth in a few weeks - and I would have been due 2 weeks after her. Whilst going back to school is weird as I should have been on maternity - it will also distract me thankfully!! It’s just frustrating to think you’re doing as much right as possible and it doesn’t happen. I took a huge step back this month and just used natural cycles to confirm ovulation and we found dtd less pressured which was good!

@MichT4 the puppy stage lasts til about 4-5 months - you get a few months break but then they become stroppy teenagers and you have to go back to basics with the trainjng as they try to be the pack leader lol! Not too different to children I’m told 😂

@SmileyT best of luck for your 12 week scan tomorrow xx

Evening ladies! so im currently on cycle day 20 roughly 5dpo and going insane! its constantly on my brain! i need the willpower to not test early! but if i do cave in what is the best early detection test and whens the earliest i could do it? xx

12/13DPO tomorrow. Do you think an easy@home will pick up this early? (Since my DH wouldn't let me buy FRERs 😂😂)

@KatiePlus3 some swear by FRER. Others never get positive tests on the pink dye ones! I'd get one early FRER and one CB!

@chloedancer897 I've had a look and it says an FRER can pick up 6ml of hcg I'll try one of each! Xx

@KatiePlus3 fingers crossed! I find it hard not to test early too! This is the longest I've gone without testing 😂😂

@Wishingfornumber2 good luck with your blood test for tomorrow. You’ll be great.

@KatiePlus3 stay strong... try not to cave. You’ll just be obsessed with trying to read an invalid test instead 😂 I’m on CD 19. Due my period a week on Saturday (Sep 19th). When are you actually due?

@chloedancer897 Well done for hanging in there. You’ve been so strong. When are you planning on sneaking out to get a test. I’d go with a couple of options instead of one brand. Or even hold on a few more days? Will be interesting to see your next set of temps. 😁

@RichmondLady1981 according to my phone app I'm due AF on 16th September so still another 10 long days 🤦‍♀️ lol! Oh I've been there with the tests! You start seeing lines when they're not even there! Lol! What cycle day are you on at the moment? Xx

@RichmondLady1981 I think I'll just use my easy@home one tomorrow and then wait for AF. Honestly, not holding out hope here. I have achy boobs like I always get before AF so I reckon it'll be here on Tuesday as planned 😞 at least with the easy at home I'm not spending more money!
