@Pancakes7 i left it to settle for a min or two after and it looks like this. Just know idea why it’s so thin 😂

@Strawberry08 That is thin. It could just be too early. I hate the worrying. I hope we both get darker lines tomorrow 🤞🏻 I've just ordered a pack of FRER as well as the Clear blue pack 🙈😂

Is anyone else ttc no 3? 👋

@Strawberry08
Looks like another positive to me 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

@Pancakes7 how many dpo did you first get a bfp?

@dippyegg32 Yesterday morning at 8DPO. Well I think I was 8DPO but I don't know as I missed my peak so had to guess it.

@Pancakes7 they look like lovely lines to me! @Strawberry08 I see a line there too, 🤞🏻 it'll get darker for you!
@dippyegg32 that chart definitely looks promising so far 🤞🏻 for you too!

@dippyegg32 I am ☝️ I’m 41 and have a 9 and 6 year old: kicking myself for not trying for no3 sooner but guess we weren’t ready. I’m ok CD26 and my AF has arrived 😥 back to the drawing board . Anyone that uses Premom do you recommend buying the easy at home opk tests or clearblue? I’ve never used either and thinking of trying one of them x

Just confirmed it with a FRER 😊😊

@Strawberry08 Aw brilliant!! Congratulations! So many BFP's in the last few days. October babies 🌈🤞🏻

Just popping in to check on u all & I see more BFPs, big congrats everyone x

I reckon 5w 3d or thereabouts for me, spoke to gp yesterday & he wont do any hcg bloods or anything since theres no bleeding etc, I'm still testing when I know I shouldn't & line still isn't as dark as control but def a lot darker on the ICs than they were, feeling less symptomy today too, everything worries me!

@gizmo167 Hello, thank you. Have you booked an early scan yet?

As there's been quite a few BFP's on here. I thought I'd start a thread for us to share any worries or updates. I'm not ready to join a normal birth* group but thought this could be helpful. I hope to see some of you there.

@Strawberry08 yay congratulations!

@Florence15 I don't use the premom app I use femometer and I've tried using the strips this month and it takes a pic and evaluated the LH level but it's been crazy all over the place going right up then down the. Up then down now up again and I'm on cd19 so I've no idea what's going on! I've ordered clearblue advanced digital opk for next month

@Marvellouslymadmum I’ve just been out and bought clearblue digital for next month too. Never tried them so hopefully I’ll understand my cycle a bit more. I’ve never actually had a positive from the strips. Just almost positive 🤷‍♀️

@Strawberry08 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Congrats :)
I called up NHS yesterday and got my appointments already. Just need to remain calm now. Have the positive digital test propped up under my computer monitor where I can see it to remind me not to get stressed about work and to remember what's important (me, not work!)

@Florence15 I know you said you bought some Clear Blue opks.. but if you need to buy more in the future, I was using the Home Bargains Accu News Ovulation tests - £3 for pack of 5. They worked for me.

@HereWeGoooo thanks 😊 I’ll bear that In mind for next time xx

@Florence15 I used the Premom app and the easy@home strips both times and found them really easy to use and helpful. I did one every day at around 5pm (best chance for me to get a 2 hour hold without drinking) and then whenever it was apparently getting closer (the app tells you to increase testing) I would do 2 a day, sometimes 3 as my peak seemed to start in the evening and then I wanted to check it before bed 😊 really cheap too for the amount of them and I love that they come with pregnancy tests as well.

Hey guys, so my period is arriving on cycle day 22 🙈. Before my MC I was bang on 28 days and since MC cycles have been much shorter 25 days last month 22 days this month.
I google it and it says short cycles indicate declining egg reserve (I'm 36).
Did anyones cycles change after miscarriage?

@elsimo It might just be your body getting back to normal. I think I had a 25 day cycle then 28 the last 2 cycles.

Do u think? This is my 3rd cycle after mc, it was surgical management

@elsimo I did - I’m 36 too - after my first mmc, my cycles went to 26 days (had been 29/30) but I would start spotting from cd23. It went on for about 6 cycles, then I had a 29day cycle, then the cycles after that I fell pg (sadly that one was anembryonic) but this tome they went back to my norm much quicker!

@Bellabubble ok thats reassuring in a way. It just seems so short, I was spotting yesterday 2 xx

@florence, me too! The app was taking pics and took one and said it was 77% at one point but that was it I find them very confusing

Oh my shit. 6dpo and I caved. 6 sodding days what is wrong with me???
