[BubsNumber2inTheMaking]

Here we go again girls! 💕 Wishing you all so much baby dust for this cycle! 👶🏼
CD4 for me today, cycle #60000000 at least. 🤦🏼‍♀️ TTC bubs #2 since Jan 2020.
2 miscarriages, umpteen national lockdowns, at least a stone heavier 🙄 Let's do this 💪❤️

FML.

Used every ounce of willpower in my body to not test on Sunday or Monday, ready to use a FRER this morning (4 days before AF due) to find that what I thought was a FRER was actually a First Response Rapid Result that you can only do after your missed period and just gives your result in 45 seconds.

WHAT IS THE POINT IN THAT! And why sell them in the same packaging! Aarrgghh.

@MgW1 I'm so sorry about your 14w miscarriage that must have been so terrible. Did they give you a reason?

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking hooray! Congratulations you must be so relieved after all that stress. Time to relax and lots of DTD 😂😂

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I am so pleased , what a bloody awful stressful time for you xx
Well i think its more of an evap , only 8dpo and could see it under kitchen light this a.m only sae it in natural light on window sill so i don't know , dont know if you can get evaps on clear blues xx

Thanks ladies 😅 xxx

@MgW1 I've not used clear blue before so can't advise on evap lines I'm afraid. 8dpo is early but it could happen 🤗 Keeping fingers crossed it gets darker over the next couple of days xxx

@organised5 I've done exactly the same as you in the past! It's so annoying and packaging is identical! I used it anyway and got a bfp bold line on it at 12dpo so might still work!🤞🤞🤞x

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking OK I am glad it's not just me 😂 I was so cross I ordered some early Clear Blue ones as they were same day delivery on Prime! 🙈

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking congratulations 🙂 hopefully you can relax a bit more now and focus on ttc 😬

@organised5
You will get result tomorrow with rapid result. I have used before and got clear line at 12dpo xx

Hi ladies, would you class this as a positive opk? Or nearly positive? If it is nearly positive do you think my peak is coming tonight or tomorrow? I'm on cd13

@Xxdxx2020 when did you test? I would say it's very close. Test again in a few hours and again in the morning. Or if you're like me, I would keep testing every few hours because clearly I have a POAS problem 😂
Good luck! x

@BWaiting haha! I tested shortly before I posted, about 1.45? I'll test this evening too :) thanks

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking Yay! I'm so happy that all that work stress is over for you :)

AF is due today, took a rapid test yesterday and BFN. We missed our window this month with DS being away and only DTD once in the FW so i think AF will turn up soon. But its hard not to hope a bit... :)

BFN with a Clear Blue early test that works 5 days before AF. I'm 4 days before AF and tested just now rather than waiting until FMU (I know.. 🤦🏼‍♀️).

I feel like I'm out... although I know there's still a chance.

Also I could have my dates way off if the first 6 days of AF actually count as spotting rather than AF. So yeah. Not feeling confident about this month.

Need to get the OPKs working next month to figure out my cycle, and up the BD!

@organised5
Did you get a peak this month? X

@MgW1 no I didn't get anything close to a peak. First month using them and I was just doing once a day in the evening as that happened to be the time of day I did the first one.

Now I've also discovered I have a potential 6 day window as to what counts as first day of AF as it's really light to begin with. So maybe I'm way off with dates and FW.

@organised5
I got some boots ones on offer and clearblue and just tested once fmu , i cant manage a 4 hr afternoon hold! Messed around with cheap strips in the best , defo worth paying for better ones. Xx

It is slightly darker than the one I took earlier. I think this is the start of the peak. Here we goooo! How often do you all bd before/during/after peak? We dtd 2 days ago and this morning so far.

@organised5 I used to have 3/4 days spotting before baby #1 was concieved. When I was ttc then I looked into it and I had a short luteal phase of 11 days and I recon the drop in progesterone was causing the spotting. The month before I concieved #1 I had no spotting before af, whether I lengthened out the LP with lifestyle changes or it was a fluke, I'm not sure. But maybe something to look into?

Hey @sunshineandshowers3 how are you? Ah we are cycle buddies 😀 haha bless you the 2ww is hard! How many dpo are you? Im cd24 5dpo today keep getting light cramps hoping its a good sign? This is my 7th or 8th cycle of trying now (can't really remember now haha) for baby no 1. How long have you been trying? Nothing has happened for me so far but im ever in hope that the next cycle will be the 'one'. Xx

Yayyy well done on the job @BubsNumber2inTheMaking 👏 👍 😃😃😃 thats excellent news! You must be relieved!! Hope you have a drink to celebrate xxx

@MgW1 Ooh thats good that you can see a line this morning!! Are you going to test with FRER? Xx

Hey @Dogmum13 thats great news about your progesterone test!! I've done one myself bought a kit online so im hoping to get the results soon for peace of mind. Ahh bless you its frustrating when you feel like AF is on the way and spotting for days I had that a few cycles ago...

Saw your earlier post I do recommend the Pre Seed but I cant find it on Amazon anymore?? It used to be quite cheap there, I think Boots still stock it online but its a few pounds dearer. Xx

Hey @Xxdxx2020 My femometer app recommends DTD when you see high levels of LH and when you get your peak until you see it go back down to high/low levels. It sounds like you've covered it so far just DTD on the day you get your peak. Apparently doing BD 2 days before ovulation and the day of ovulation has high success levels of conception xx

@Xxdxx2020
Yep your peaking 🤣 probs again tomorrow and then the day after if you have a lighter opk tomoz? If its darker tomorrow then id dtd again on fri 🤞🏻👍🏻xx
