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 💪❤️

By the way, this will make you laugh: last night I had a dream that I bought my first ever FRER and expected it to be just like a normal test but it had different colour lines and flashing lights which I could not interpret. 🤣 I’m clearly going mad with all this.

Maybe I’ll go for yet another tedious walk to clear my head a bit 😂

TolkiensFallow · 21/02/2021 08:30

Oh and @BubsNumber2inTheMaking yes the app seemed to break yesterday! I made a couple of posts which aren’t there.

Sorry anyone I haven’t replied to - I did but it’s vanished and now I’ve lost track!

dunkedbiscuit · 21/02/2021 08:40

Eurghhh I’ve been very PMS’y so fear AF is on her way. Ovia app thinks due Tuesday but I think the dates have been thrown by a randomly short cycle last month and is actually due Friday. We shall see, if no sign of her by Thursday I’ll maybe do a test then?

Is anyone ends testing this week? I agree with what others have said, I really like hearing about BFPs on here, it really makes me happy! Maybe because we’ve followed each other’s journeys a bit and the highs and lows, I feel invested! 😂

MgW1 · 21/02/2021 08:55

@TolkiensFallow
Well i thought i was going mad last month when i pulled an FRER apart to double check for a line !! Xx

TolkiensFallow · 21/02/2021 09:38

I think I’m testing this week! My boobs are too playing mind games with me and the Ovia app is driving me crazy.

I’m going to Superdrug in the hope that the FRER are on special offer (they won’t be)

TolkiensFallow · 21/02/2021 09:42

Also I fed the dog last night and the smell of his food nearly made me heave.

AF is due Friday but I have erratic cycles so I don’t trust ovia. I’m between 25-30 days usually and today is CD22......

bubblegeek22 · 21/02/2021 09:45

Good morning all!

So I have no idea what's happening with me. Friday FMU squinter BFP. Did another yesterday morning, BFN. Did one in the evening just to check, BFN. So I had made peace that it wasn't happening this month, but thought I would check this morning completely expecting BFN. Its a BFP this morning 😬🤦😮

So now I have no idea. AF due on Thursday so I knoooooow I need to wait til then and test again. But it's hard!!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking 🤞🤞🤞 really hoping AF doesn't arrive for you.

@TolkiensFallow @dunkedbiscuit lots of luck for this week!

@MgW1 line does seem to be getting darker 🤞🤞

Lots of baby dust to everyone! 🎉

Clapham4 · 21/02/2021 09:47

@MgW1 oh that’s a nice strong line for you! 💕🤞🏼

My mumsnet was strange yesterday too so sorry if I’ve missed anything major. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend x

I tested yesterday & this morning on IC both stark BFN , also had a bit of spotting today. Had a sobbing session/pityparty last night, I didn’t expect for it to hit me so hard, but I’m feeling a bit better today. So onto cycle 9.

Do you guys think it would be pointless to schedule in a consultation with the private fertility clinic for a follow up? After our results in Sept when they said we should be preg by Christmas, I’d like to follow up, not sure what I hope to gain from it really, they’re not psychics! But maybe just to get some reassurance, or for her to tell me she’s not worried or something

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 21/02/2021 09:48

Oh my god @bubblegeek22 that's amazing!!! Congratulations! 🤗 so happy for you 🎉 💜
How many DPO are you today and what were you testing on?xx

OP posts:
bubblegeek22 · 21/02/2021 09:56

@Clapham4 so sorry about your BFN 😞 definitely allow yourself a pity party, this stuff is hard going!!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking so I'm either 10 or 11 DPO today, just testing on the internet cheapies in the cupboard. I've got a triple pack of clear blue with a Digi in there but I'm going to try and save those IF I end up being late!!

I'm still being cautiously excited, they are both faint lines. I'm a huge water drinker so I don't know if that's making any difference either. But the two negatives between the two positives is really throwing me!!

And yes my Mumsnet was being super weird yesterday too 🥴

TolkiensFallow · 21/02/2021 10:08

@bubblegeek22 I had a negative and a positive on the same day with bubs1. Then did a digital one and it was positive so maybe it’s not uncommon! If you drink loads then it’s best to test when there has been a big gap between wee’s.

bubblegeek22 · 21/02/2021 10:10

@TolkiensFallow that's interesting!!
I'm still early so I'm trying to just stick to FMU as I know that's the strongest. I'm now trying to be hopeful that's why yesterday's were negative but who knows. Just have to be patient which is easier said than done 😬😬
Have a lovely Sunday everyone xx

dunkedbiscuit · 21/02/2021 10:10

@bubblegeek22 that’s amazing!!

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 21/02/2021 10:26

@Clapham4 sending hugs xx
I've had a cry/pity party this morning too. I've decided to pull myself out of it now though...going to just stay hopeful for the new month. We've weathered the most horrible few months of lockdown, the bleakest weather, not seeing loved ones at Christmas, and now spring is on the horizon with new hope, vaccines, lockdown lifting. My app is predicting an ovulation date of Mother's Day next month for me too 🤗🤞We will get there 💪💕xx

Catching up a bit... congrats @bubblegeek22 and @MgW1!

I'm on CD 11 and I bought an OPK for this month (Clear Blue) - should I start testing today? clue app says I should ovulate cd 17...

PeanuttyButter · 21/02/2021 11:33

@MgW1 that line definitely looks stronger!!

@Bubblegeek22 congratulations on the BFP sounds like you've had a roller coaster month. Fingers crossed for you.

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I've had a few evenings of pity crying this month too but it's helped me feel better in the long run.

@Clapham4 I probably would get in touch just to see what they say x

@TolkiensFallow that's good to hear that you're not out until AF arrives and a BFN can turn BFP. Thank you.

Had a lazy morning but once I've had my coffee of the day (DH has the kettle on) I'm going to get stuck in and get some jobs done. Anything to distract

Dogmum13 · 21/02/2021 12:59

I've got such bad ovulation pains today that I had to hold myself up with the worktop just to make myself something to eat 😭😭I think I'll be getting some cocodamol out once I eat my lunch. At least I know I'm ovulating I suppose 🤣

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 21/02/2021 15:47

Awww @Dogmum13 that sounds nasty!! Take it easy xx

MgW1 · 21/02/2021 19:26

@bubblegeek22
How are you doing ? Good luck with the bfp , not ready to leave group yet , still in dicey territory due to previous mc's, had lots of cramps today , i know they are normal but worrying os similar to previous chemical!! @BubsNumber2inTheMaking are you testing tomorrow? Xx

MgW1 · 21/02/2021 19:27

@Dogmum13
I have previously had months like that , its obviously a big ripe egg!!! Good luck xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 21/02/2021 20:02

@MgW1 probably! I'm really sure I'm out though so if I do, that'll be the last time I test this month. Then will just wait for AF on Thursday. How about you? Any more tests or are you done now?
Ps. There's no pressure to leave! Stay as long as you want! 🙂xx

MgW1 · 21/02/2021 20:22

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Ahh thank you
Well i prob will test again this week to double check but will leave it a few days and see. Good luck for tomorrow when you test I hope you are not out!!! Anything could happen , look at me !! Xx

Xxdxx2020 · 21/02/2021 20:49

I just got my bfp!!! It looks exactly what my first bfp looked like with baby #1. I'm 10dpo I think, my app says 11dpo but I had ovulation pain a day after that supposed O-day. I took a frer yesterday and it was bfn but I took it out of the case and a pink 'evap' appeared over the day, but I'd class it as a bfn. Today's morning ic was bfn and just on a whim this evening I took an ic and a shadow kept caching my eye, I (like the crazy impatient poas addict I am) put my phone torch on the back and I could definitely see something, so next pee I took a frer and here we are!

I'm pretty shocked because this is our first cycle really timing and doing opks etc. Last cycle we weren't really trying and I am pretty sure I had a cp (loads of faint evap type shadows). I'm so happy and nervous and excited and hopeful and scared! Our first took nearly a year to concieve baby #1 so I didn't think it would be this quick this time round!

Dogmum13 · 21/02/2021 23:57

@MgW1 oooooo that's good to know! We used the conceive plus applicators this time round as I don't get much ewcm so I'm really hoping this helps as this is cycle 16 for us xx

Dogmum13 · 21/02/2021 23:58

Congratulations! @Xxdxx2020
