@MgW1 so that's it. Another stark negative. I'm done with the testing now! On to the next cycle...ovulation should hopefully be on Mother's Day! Here's hoping the day lives up to its name!🀞🀣 Sending loads of positive vibes your way for a very healthy, uneventful (!) pregnancy 😘xx

@Xxdxx2020 congratulations!xx

@MgW1 I completely understand, pregnancy is so hard after loss because as much as you want to be excited, you know that positive pregnancy test doesn't definitely mean a baby at the end of it πŸ’” I've got all my fingers crossed for you.

@Xxdxx2020 congrats ❀️

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking so sorry about your BFN πŸ’” I really hope the witch keeps away for you on Thursday!! If she comes, maybe mothersday will really bring you some luck, and a little magic πŸ’πŸ’

So this was me this morning, I caved and used one of my clear blues. It's still very light but definitely more positive than my internet cheapies which were both super squinters.

It's set my brain at ease a little, at least for now. I am NOT testing now until Friday as that will mean I am one day late if AF doesn't show. Still having doubts about this being real and thinking maybe chemical due to BFP/BFN/BFP. Time will tell.

@Dogmum13
If it doesnt happen then i would defo recommend evening primrose oil between cd1 and 14 and take 1000mg vit c with your supplements. Xx

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 07:55

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Well techinically its not it, but i know what you mean.... have you been temping? X

Dogmum13 · 22/02/2021 07:58

@MgW1 is that 1000mg in total or on top of my other vitamins? I've thought about evening prim oil but heard it can mess up ovulation so didn't use it yet

Dogmum13 · 22/02/2021 07:59

Congratulations! @bubblegeek22

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 08:11

I took full dissolverable one and my husband took the same.
One naturally increases eastrogen and the other progesterone, may delay ovulation by a few days but you should produce ewcm , read up on it.x

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 10:10

@Dogmum13
I dont know what vits your on but im on seven seas and no vit c in them anyway x

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 11:00

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking try and keep some hope you're not out until you're out.

I however am not following my own advice. I'm on CD27 (previous cycles have been 24-27 days) had cramping since CD23 and this morning some slight spotting. AF usually starts like this so didn't even bother testing this morning as I know I'm out.

Sunwillshine · 22/02/2021 12:06

Hello everyone hope you don’t mind me interrupting but I just wanted to give you all some hope that there are things you can do to help your fertility. I know these tips won’t work for everyone but they worked for me and I finally got my BFP after over a year of TTC with having mild PCOS and irregular cycles.

Just thought it would be nice to share in case it can help anyone smile

  1. Wet Cupping Therapy as soon as period ended (HIGHLY recommended gets rid of all the bad toxic blood)
  1. Started seed cycling - google seed cycling for pcos and you will see the benefits!
  1. 4000mg of MYO INOSITAL daily
  1. Folic acid / zinc / vitamin D on daily basis
  1. Kept my feet warm from ovulation till I got my BFP as it is a Chinese method which states that you need to have a warm uterus to conceive and feet are directly linked to it.
  1. Kept legs in air after sex in ovulation days.
  1. Daily maca root powder from cd1 till ovulation

not sure what helped but I tried all these together and conceived the first month!

Sunwillshine · 22/02/2021 12:09

Also I didn’t have ANY symptoms except sore boobs!
No nausea, completely dry discharge, low hard cervix (sorry TMI) your not out till AF arrives!!

Baby dust to you all xx

dunkedbiscuit · 22/02/2021 13:11

Congratulations @Xxdxx2020 and @bubblegeek22 they both look like good lines to me! I love coming on here and seeing happy news πŸ₯°

I’ve got a break out of spots so prob don’t need to fret about which day to test as I reckon AF is on her merry way!

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking I’m still keeping fingers crossed for you this month, but if not a Mother’s Day conception would be wonderful!

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 14:32

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Well i have been having cramps since last night so tested and barely a line. Just waiting for doc to ring me , what blood tests can i request? Will prob start bleeding in a day or 2 xx

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 16:27

@MgW1 let's hope it's just your uterus expanding, try and stay positive. Maybe Hcg to start with and see in a few days if it increases ( if no other symptoms start) ? Hand holding with crossed fingers x

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 16:36

@PeanuttyButter
In agony with cramps , taken some ibuprofen. Dont really know why they arent sticking nut i know whats coming πŸ˜” feel the same as last time .... almighty mother f**cker AF on her way!!
Anyway waiting to see what doc thinks , might ask me to go for blood test to check. I seriously think its either bad luck or a hormone issue xxx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 22/02/2021 17:49

Oh @MgW1 I am so so sorry to hear that. I'm genuinely gutted for you, I thought it was going to be your sticky. Sending huge hugsπŸ’œ I'm sure it is probably just our age and the next one will be your keeper. My friend conceived her first child super quickly, and when it came to her 2nd in her late 30s, she had 3 mc before conceiving. She's now got a gorgeous little 2yr old and it gives me hope every time I'm feeling rotten about my situation. In her words: '...it just failed and failed, until it didn't.' One day it just stuck and all was well, and that is what is going to happen to us πŸ˜˜πŸ€žπŸ’œxx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Decided to keep trying before referral to gynae, i have to work on my stress levels now because its not for progesterone , how to keep relaxed when working full time and home schooling i wonder πŸ€” ??! We will get there xxx

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:19

P.s goid about your friend , just goes to show ..... never stop trying!! Xx

organised5 · 22/02/2021 19:35

@MgW1 I am so sorry to read this. Sending you lots of love.

I spent 4 hours in A&E last night because I've had some pain low down on one side and then started bleeding a bit as well. Called 111 and spoke to a clinician then got sent in. Not conclusive so I now have to wait for an appointment at the EPU on Thursday when I'll be 5+6. Really hope a scan will be able to tell by then.

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 19:41

How old are you guys if you don't mind me asking and do you already have children? I'm 33 and this will be my first. Never been pregnant before ever. Not even a whiff of a scare in my younger years.

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:53

@PeanuttyButter
37. 1 mc 8 years ago followed by 2 children 6&4 and then 1 mc , 1 chemical and highly probable 2nd chemical. What length cycle do you have ? X

MgW1 · 22/02/2021 19:54

@organised5
Hi hun , im ok thanks for your message , lovely to hear from you although sounds like you have had a worrying time too πŸ˜” fingers crossed all will be ok. Have you done a test? Xx

PeanuttyButter · 22/02/2021 20:01

Well I've been on hormonal contraception from 15-32years so I only have what I know now.
My cycle has been 23/24 days since Sept 19.

This is the strange part!
This is my third cycle since TTC and strangely they have all been 27 days. I'm CD26 at the moment, bit of pink when I wipe so I think AF will come tomorrow. I don't use FRERS as I don't want the disappointment but never had a squinter either

organised5 · 22/02/2021 20:11

@MgW1 yes I actually did a test yesterday morning and it was the strongest line yet. Then I had my bloods taken in A&E and waited two hours for the results which said I was pregnant. I mean I could have told them that much πŸ˜‚ I've still got pregnancy symptoms (sore boobs, vivid dreams, metallic taste in mouth) but I'd still have them even if it was ectopic which I'm worried could be the one-sided pain. I'll just have to wait as patiently as I can until Thursday.

@PeanuttyButter I'm 33 too and never a whiff of a pregnancy (despite some rather wild times in my 20s) before I had my first when I was 31. With my first I was incredibly fortunate and it was literally a case of having unprotected sex once and a baby arrived 9 months later.
