Hey ladies, so I’m in need of a cycle buddy as these cycles have been so lonely...
I have a 33-34 day cycle but even if you have longer or shorter join me please!!!
Currently on cycle day 10.
First month using OPKS 😁

[quote Sadie95]@Jely123 same here, I got a positive digital at 10dpo with my first so I think I'm out but I try to convince myself that it won't be the same as my first. I am so bad a symptom spotting as well x [/quote]
Your defo not out every pregnancy is different 😁! I'm the same this month 🙄 any little twitch Iv jotted down it's ridiculous. Got shotting pains in my boobs and been having a pulling feeling in my lower right side but I know the boobs can't be anything to do with pregnancy as bfn. Its all in my head 😂 the TWW makes me crazy xx

Sadie95 · 15/03/2021 12:13

@Jely123 I'm the exact same don't worry Grin I'm also a POAS addict, I just can't help myself! All IC's but it helps me a little I think xx

Curlymam88 · 15/03/2021 14:52

Well I POAS on mother's day with a FRER but was negative. I think I was only 9dpo though so wasn't really expecting anything. I still had a fab mothers day with my daughter and partner though. Af due any day from tomorrow the earliest to Sunday the latest. Hope everyone is doing well x

Hi everyone

@Jely123 hope you're doing well!
I got my bfp on Thursday when I was 11dpo 🙈
I've been taking tests since just to make myself believe hence why I'm late updating.

I had to contact my consultant today and it made things a bit more real.

Sparrowfeeder · 15/03/2021 18:30

Bfn for me so far. I am somewhere between 9dpo and 7dpo as my bbt took 2-3 days to rise after my LH surge. So not a clue. Feeling gloomy after ttc for 10months. But my rhr and bbt are high and still rising so I’m trying to have hope (but not too much!).

I'm clueless with bbt ect! 7-9dpo is still super early I hope things work out for you! Keep us updated x

@Mysleepingangel congratulations!!!!ThanksThanks

Mysleepingangel · 15/03/2021 18:53

Thank you everyone

@Jely123 thank you, I pray you get your bfp soon too.

It's an unreal feeling.. Like I'm in a dream. But we've never had difficulty falling pregnant, just getting to a healthy baby is the goal now. Because of our previous 20 weeks loss, we're on edge and scared.

Mysleepingangel · 15/03/2021 18:53

@Sadie95 thank you hun.

Are you waiting to test?

Jely123 · 15/03/2021 19:16

Oh no I'm so sorry for your loss :( I can imagine your really on edgei really hope all goes well!! I tested today BFN but still only 9dpo. We've never had difficulty getting pregnant really either but a couple of chemicals and early miscarriage xx
Sadie95 · 15/03/2021 20:26

@Mysleepingangel I'm the same as @Jely123.. 9DPO today and BFN so far. I'm trying not to loose hope but you can't help but feel that disappointment when you see a stark white test xx

Coco987 · 15/03/2021 22:18

@Mysleepingangel congratulations amazing news so happy for you!!
How is everyone else doing just been reading and catching up on everyone seems we’re all in the final few days before AF. 3 days until possible AF for me I think it’s 11 dpo very proud that I haven’t took a test yet feel like I have more will power this time round and also don’t want to pay for any more tests lol going to test in 3/4 days

Mysleepingangel · 15/03/2021 22:25

@Jely123 thanks love
Yh we're praying that we have very boring, uneventful 8 months with a healthy baby.

@Sadie95 I remember testing at 9dpo and got stark white lines! So I just stopped worrying altogether and focused on work etc and then got the urge to test on 11dpo because I was feeling so sick. Funny enough the minute I took the test and it came up positive, I got such painful cramps as to validate my test 😂 so don't lose hope, you're still in!

@Coco987 thank you hun. I bought some cheap tests off ebay which were 10mlU and it was that test that picked up the HCG. So you could definitely try those without wasting awful of money on the frer

It is disappointing isn't it but still early so just hold on to hope! I took another this morning and BFN on a 25mul test let hope for our positive!! Xx

Wow you've done really well!! I wish I could do that aha!
My af wasn't ment to be due until 25th but I ovulated on the 6th witch was really early so my apps have pushed forward af to 20th so not to sure what to expect yet. First month using opks so not sure if I have a long lethal phase or a short cycle this month xx

Sadie95 · 16/03/2021 08:13

@Jely123 same, I tested this morning with a 20mIU BFN and also a one step IC meant to be 10mIU and also BFN. So hard to keep positive xx

Ah :( well from what a have read it's take up to 2-3 days for hcg to be detected after implantation so don't lose hope!! Cx

Sparrowfeeder · 16/03/2021 10:53

Bfn again for me with fmu, on a one step. I do have quite a lot of cramping and feel like AF is coming, but it is a couple of days too soon. The last time I had this early cramping and being convinced AF was due, I did turn out to get a bfp but it ended in a mc. I am trying to stay grounded this month. So I am drawing no conclusions and can only wait for more clarity...

Sadie95 · 16/03/2021 11:09

@Jely123 @Sparrowfeeder looks like we are all in the same boat, hoping we get our BFP soon! Getting more period cramps today, took another one step with second urine I can see a shadow that showed up straight away but I don't think it's a positive xx

@ Would you like to share a picture ?? I love a good 'is there a line' ahah!!!
@Sparrowfeeder oh definitely that best way isn't it just see how things go! I hope we all get a BFP!!!! Xx

Sadie95 · 16/03/2021 11:24

@Jely123 yeah sure, I honestly don't mind if you can't see anything Blush I just think it's a shadow so I'm not thinking anything of it so don't worry xx (ignore my horrible nails please)

Cycle buddies anyone??

Sadie95 · 16/03/2021 11:35

@Jely123 aww I hope so, I'm going to try and be relaxed about it so I don't disappoint myself. I don't trust the cheap tests xx
