@AMS19 3rd April... ages off!! Ahhh fingers crossed for us this cycle. Oh yeah! Same here. Just a few days off finding out about my mmc. That would be amazing to have a baby here before previous due date.

@AMS19 oh I’m sorry AF got you this month. You’re sounding lovely and positive though and it’s good that ovulation is nice and early for you so you feel like you can crack on quite quickly. I’m the same as @Mellous - have never ovulated before day15 and usually around 18/19 which feels like FOREVVVVVVER! I hope this is your lucky cycle- how lovely would it be to have your rainbow bubba a year on from your heartbreak ❤️ X

SuzieDeLaTour · 19/03/2021 09:21

@glowingtwig good luck today! Fingers crossed for a great result 😘

AMS19 · 19/03/2021 09:36

@Mellous let's hope for both of us ❤❤

@SuzieDeLaTour thank you. The Positivity won't last I'm sure 😂😂 how you getting on? Hopefully no sign of AF? Xx

PlantMummy87 · 19/03/2021 09:38

@AMS19 sorry AF came around but my fingers are crossed for you this cycle and lengthening that lp! I've heard good things about B6 too 🤞

@glowingtwig really hope you get your results today so you aren't wondering over the weekend, and that they are positive.

AMS19 · 19/03/2021 09:46

Thanks @PlantMummy87 xx

Brightspark12 · 19/03/2021 09:46

@AMS19 least you know where you stand now AF has come! I had just starting tracking when I fell pregnant in January, was using the clearblue digital OPK but never got even a whiff of a smiley! Cheapies came back positive-ish on CD15 so I think maybe CD16/17? I always thought I had a short LP as I always had O symptoms then AF usually about 10 days later (26-28 day cycles).
When I went for my early scan they said baby was 2 weeks behind and maybe Oved later- I don’t think that was the case mind I think there was an issue with growth from the start. How’s everyone else getting on xx

SuzieDeLaTour · 19/03/2021 09:48

@AMS19 no AF yet but I’m not feeling positive at all this month 😔 I had days of thinking “ahh this could be it!” but now I’m just thinking AF will come next week. I usually ovulate 12/13 days post OV so if there’s no sign of my period by Tuesday I might be tempted to do a test...I’m not sure whether I would more upset by the sight of a neg test or AF though! Overthinking this way too much I know 😁😁

PlantMummy87 · 19/03/2021 09:51

Wasn't sure if I should mention, as I'm sure you'll all think I'm mad for testing so early (9dpo), but had the tiniest bit of spotting at 6dpo so figured it would maybe show by now if that was implantation. I've also been having the worst lower back pain the last few days which was the biggest sign I had last time. I've got a very very faint positive on a FRER and easy@home cheapy. I was absolutely convinced this was not the cycle for us as we only managed to dtd fully once in my fertile period. Have been convinced that AF has been lurking around the corner for a few days now. Really hoping these lines darkened over the next few days, but going to try to take a break from testing until Monday and hopefully see a nice stronger line then.

Feeling extremely nervous about it all and feel like I am convincing myself that it may be a chemical as the lines are so faint, but think my mind has gone a bit into self preservation mode thinking about all the hurdles I need to get through first before this is real.

PlantMummy87 · 19/03/2021 09:57

I really really hope I haven't upset anyone or triggered anyone by saying that xxx

Mellous · 19/03/2021 10:04

tentative congrats @PlantMummy87! Fingers crossed that line gets darker for you over the next few days but all sounding promising! xx

@SuzieDeLaTour got everything crossed for you xx

Brightspark12 · 19/03/2021 11:22

@PlantMummy87 sending good luck xx

Tealchoc · 19/03/2021 11:37

@PlantMummy87 keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you! I don’t think you’re mad at all...I think I am 10dpo today and have tested on 7 and 9dpo! Getting a bit crazy here as have taken apart my frer and there’s a teeny line that looks pink but I think it’s probably an evap tbh. To get a faint positive on both tests for you is a great sign though. X

gizmo167 · 19/03/2021 11:40

Morning all x

@AMS19 sorry the witch showed but thats really interesting on the B6, sounds like its doing the trick!

@glowingtwig keep us posted on the results! Re the sore boobs, mine always got sore before AF but since the mc's theyre more not sore than sore but both of my BFP cycles they were killing me, bodies are strange!

@dippyegg32 thinking of you hun x

Me, well still no news, CD34 today, not one single sign of AF! My nipples and the area around them are sore now and I still have a wee bit of cramping so am guessing its just going to be late! If nothing by Sunday I might test!

yepstilltrying · 19/03/2021 12:11

@PlantMummy87 fingers crossed for you!

Brightspark12 · 19/03/2021 12:24

So I did a FRER this morning to check and it’s come up quite clearly positive 😭the cheapy Femometer strip completely negative. So the FRER can detect 6.3 miU/Ml and the cheapy strips are 25 miU/ml. So my HCG levels must be at least 6.3 but below 25... knew I shouldn’t have taken it 😂

gizmo167 · 19/03/2021 12:37

@SuzieDeLaTour I feel the same hun, cant bear seeing a negative test which is why I'm holding out! FC AF stays well away!!!

@PlantMummy87 OMG thats great news hun, looks like it was your month after all!

And @Brightspark12 definitely picking up something on that FRER!!

SuzieDeLaTour · 19/03/2021 13:03

@PlantMummy87 oh that’s amazing!!! Huge (albeit tentative) congratulations. Fingers and toes crossed that you get darker lines on Monday x
@Tealchoc oh I’ve done the pulling apart tests too! Honestly, the things that TTC does to us ladies! 🤦‍♀️ Hoping you get your lucky test x
@gizmo167 that sounds promising that AF hasn’t reared her ugly head!? Hope it’s good news for you my love!
@Brightspark12 that’s a very clear positive! How many days post ovulation are you? X

SuzieDeLaTour · 19/03/2021 13:26

@Brightspark12 oh I’m such a fool - I’ve just realised you’re testing post MC not post ovulation! Sorry!! Didn’t mean to be insensitive, I saw a line and got all excited 🤦‍♀️ Once my strips turned negative it wasn’t long before the FRER followed so everything is going in the right direction for you. Sorry again for getting it wrong! X

Quinn26 · 19/03/2021 14:15

@PlantMummy87 that sounds promising fingers crossed for you. I think this ttc business gets us all a bit mad doesn't it!

The good news is I finally got my static smile yesterday, we couldn't dtd as my other half wasn't feeling too great but tested again today and its still there so maybe some BD tonight on the cards!

I'm just happy to see my body is sorting itself out and starting to produce the hormone. Feeling more relaxed now compared to Tuesday/Wednesday haha!

Brightspark12 · 19/03/2021 14:37

@SuzieDeLaTour don’t apologise.. I should have been more clear 😂 i bloody wish that was a real positive! Glad to know I’m on the right track tho xx

DMT1982 · 19/03/2021 15:59

Hey girls. I’m not trying at the moment but paying attention to what’s going on with my body. According to my app I should have ovulated Monday however I never had any egg white discharge that I used to get and wasn’t horny! Anyways have monitored it this week and I would say Wednesday and Thursday I was a little horny and today I’ve had loads of egg white discharge so am I right in assuming I have probably ovulated a few days late? I don’t do ovulation tests as I know I will forget to do them or do them at the wrong times. Thanks in advance xx

DMT1982 · 19/03/2021 16:01

@PlantMummy87 keeping everything crossed for you. Will be waiting with baited breath on Monday morning xx
