Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

[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 💪❤️

@MgW1 if I had seen compete negative this whole time I wouldn't be this disheartened!! What brand OPK did you use x

@PrettyPinkPansies
Clear blue and boots. They are expensive so didnt want to waste any beyond positive! Since read some women can have a longer peak lasting longer than a day. Oh well , will see how it goes ! I totally know what you mean i have a very faint positive on FRER naturally, all women have a tiny amount of hcg in their system naturally when not preg and because FRER are soooo sensitive it can pick it up , there def pros and cons to using sebsitive tests. Also i just think i dont want to know if i have a chemical either now , too stressful xxx

@PrettyPinkPansies you're only 9DPO I would say definitely not out yet! 🤞

@MgW1 maybe get some internet cheapies if not successful this time?

@bubblegeek22 I just think because I seen the two CB lines I think it hasn't worked!

@PrettyPinkPansies
Im going to do , it usually dries up quick after maybe day after ovulation , its just crazy business all this. I hope you get some positive new in a few days time xx

@MgW1 thank you! And you xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
How are you ? How was the interview? Might have missed my peak this month and not dtd up until the right time but will see how things go , il have to take a break next month though to have my covid booster obviously if i am preg id have to give it a miss but with how anxious iv been due to current situation , being able to have the booster might be for the best. So will see , im fine either way. Hope all is good with you luv xxx

My bleeding is starting just started spotting. Glad to get it out of the way so I finally know for sure. Def a chemical. Trying to stay positive and look forward to another chance in this next cycle and 🤞 it's not going to happen again.

Hoping This month brings good news to the rest of you lovely ladies and thank you for all the support xxx

Hi @MgW1 and I've realised I also missed a message from @gracie2307
Thanks for asking ladies. I'm alright. Pretty low but think that's mainly due to exhaustion as had another interview on weds. The competency one on Monday was AWFUL. Literally like an exam and I'd done 10hrs and 12hrs of prep over the weekend and still felt like I failed 🤦🏼‍♀️ Fortunately the girls I'm up against also found it dreadful so hopefully the bar wasn't set too high?! 🤷‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️
Interview yesterday was much better, far less formal and I came away from it feeling happier. Who knows though. Should find out tomorrow or Monday. So tired today I can't be arsed with work...am currently sat on the sofa watching 'Death to 2020' on Netflix..is quite good. God what a year it was!
Hoping that I will perk up after a good nights sleep tonight...then it's game time! Entering fertile week from Sunday according to the app but that pinpoints ovulation as CD17 and I think that's too late. Going to start DTD, temping and OPK'ing tomorrow or Saturday I think.

Sounds like a good attitude @MgW1 although will still keep fingers crossed for you that this month you'll get your sticky bean 👶🏼🤞 Do you opk once or twice a day? Think I'm going to try twice this month just in case I naturally only surge for a short amount of time.
Did you get many side effects after your first lot of vaccine? Xx

How are you doing @gracie2307 ? How many DPO are you?xx

So sorry to hear that @RHODXB . I hope you're ok? I honestly had no idea how common CP were until I joined this forum. We could all start a club that no one wants to be in! 🤦🏼‍♀️ Hope it passes quickly and you're back on track this month. There's still a chance we could all get BFP this cycle! Keeping everything crossed for you xxx

So sorry things are so stressful @BubsNumber2inTheMaking what an uncertain time for you 😞

@RHODXB at least you definitely know now, but I know how disheartening it is to see that positive and then not ❤️ I had a chem/MC? at 6 weeks before I conceived my first DD, in fact I did the very next month, so my LMP calculation was actually from the previous loss IFSWIM, when I went for the confirmation scan the doctor told me CP can make you super fertile afterwards so 🤞🤞 for you this month

@RHODXB so sorry lovely. Fingers crossed you get your sticky bean next cycle! Xx

@RHODXB
I hope you are feeling ok and so sorry thats crap , do you normally have short ish cycles ? Xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Oh i really hope you get some positive news , i have my fingers crossed 🤞🏻
And yes I can imagine its knocked it out of you, you need to relax now and then crack on with dtd!
I didnt have enough tests they were clear blue and expensive to use twice a day! I will start testing next time on cd 14 instead of 12 and test for longer.
I had the oxford jab , felt ill day after and spent the day in bed. Shattered on day 2 so had an early night and day 3 was fine. I shouldnt feel ill after booster , may be a little off it following day. I couldn't wait to have it , i had it at the beginning of my cycle , i just cant have the booster if i fall preg. So may as well take 1 month off to have it and then I have worked it out that the jab will fall just mid way through my period so thats fine. Its out of your system within 3 days so not need to wait before trying xx

@RHODXB sorry to hear your news. Fingers crossed for next cycle. X

So tested again this morning. CB line looked bolder but I don't think darker. Does anyone have any experiences with these tests?

I also did a FRER and I thought MAYBE something was catching my eye but I'm sure it's negative. Line eyes anyone?

The clear blue one I see something it’s definitely blue where the cross needs to be ! @PrettyPinkPansies

I did two cheapy’s from eBay ( one step strips) this morning... both bfn but I have been feeling a bit off! I dug out a old freedom Tesco cheap one. Pretty sure there’s a faint line.. yet that’s 25mlu detection limit and the strips “should” be more sensitive at 10mlu !? I’m 9dpo so still very very early and now I’m doubting the Tesco one !? . I’ve had FRERs on order since Monday. Post is awful atm due to covid but I’m holding out hope they will be here today. X

@prettypinkpansies
Hi i think i can see faint on the clear blue but nothing on FRER xx

@Litttlebird this one just needs a straight line, I'm hoping but I think with the negative FRER it means I'm out. I've went back to look at it again and it looks fainter?
The freedom test strips are really good in my opinion. I got good clear lines on those with my MC and for a few weeks after too. I think they're better than they let on. When are you testing again?

@MgW1 I'm wondering if these faint lines on the clear blue are just standard on all these tests!? Surely not though, that seems really cruel. I had another look at it just now and it seems fainter than when I took the picture, I thought If anything it should look more positive.

Clear blue progression if anyone is interested. Not sure if I see any

@PrettyPinkPansies
Think i might be able to see something on frer actually as well xx

@PrettyPinkPansies how many DPO are you? Personally I always go by FRER and at the mo I can't see a line on that one..but it could just be too early? When is your period due?

This was the difference between freedom (tesco) and the one step cheap strip (same sample) x

Had my day 21 bloods done and just phoned to get results. They said my hormone profile is normal. Does anyone know what that means? 🤔

@Litttlebird the one step ones are a bit crap in my opinion. Definitely not sensitive. I was getting a bold line on a non-sensitive first response (the rapid result ones you aren't supposed to do before period due) and yet the 'sensitive' one step ones were hardly registering. I've sacked them off for that reason. Fingers crossed the FRER ones arrive for you soon and you get a BFP! 🤞x

@Dogmum13 it means it's what it should be at that stage in the month. So progesterone levels are in line with the 'normal' range expected post ovulation x
