Hey this isn't my first thread but im looking for poas addicts like me!
I can not help but test every day from 5dpo Iv tried to stop my self but I just can't, Iv had a few chemicals and early miscarriage so deep down I know I should stop testing so early to avoid the disappointment but I can't 😁 I'm ok with that but I'm just my partner wouldn't be if he found out how much it hurts my bank balance ahah.
I track cycles with opks just to get my daily hit ;)
Anyone else want to join me ? I'm in my TWW now but not sure on dpo could be 2-5 dpo as I run out of opks 🙄
Hope to find people to join me x

@Jely123 I totally understand, all good thoughts for you and hopefully I'll see posts from you in the future xx

@j785948 that's as strong a line as I've ever see for being only 14dpo, but definitely ring your gp as you've had MMC so they can do bloods and ease your worry xx

Skl2021 · 20/04/2021 09:12

@Kayleaaa how are you doing did af arrive?? Xx

Kayleaaa · 20/04/2021 09:15

@Skl2021 not yet! I'm on cd39 and it feels like the cycle that won't end 😂 Started taking pregnacare tablets last night because they seem to help people with long cycles (not so much regular cycles). Usually I'm around a 31 day cycle so this suuuuucks 😂

Skl2021 · 20/04/2021 09:23

@Kayleaaa oh no that's all u need! I had a 49 day cycle a couple of months back and it was horrible never ending didn't know what was happening as I'm usually around 30 days?! By the end of it I was wishing for af! Something I never do 😂 x

firsttimemummy321 · 20/04/2021 09:37

@Jely123 not sure if you'll see this but take care of yourself that was such a convincing line it's unfair :(

@J785948 that's a really good line! My 15dpo line yesterday that doesn't look promising is there irl but on the photo still looks like a colourless shadow definitely see if they will do bloods to out your mind at rest but that is a good line a bad good progression :)

@Kayleaaa 🤞🏻 af arrives soon for you! It's horrible been still I in limbo

justwant2beamum · 20/04/2021 09:53

@J785948 looks like a good line to me and great progression! Just remember there is such a huge range of healthy hcg levels so not everyones lines will look the same at the same point xxxx

extrababydust123 · 20/04/2021 14:36

Just jumping on this thread, as I’m 3dpo and already wanting to test 😫🤣 going to try and wait a few days and then will start with the internet cheapies! Baby dust to allll ✨

fish231 · 20/04/2021 15:05

Started my period today.. plenty of negative pregnancy tests and 1 positive this cycle.
However I have PCOS and this time my cycle was only 32 days!! I'm so happy as a few of my cycles have been into the 100's

Fingers crossed for everyone going forward and lots of baby dust 👶

justwant2beamum · 20/04/2021 18:37

@fish231 aw sorry you got af! 🤞🏻 for this cycle xx ✨

J785948 · 20/04/2021 20:36

@firsttimemummy321 oh I'm sorry! What are you going to do, are you going to test again?

Trying not to obsess over lines again, despite spending half of my evening looking at them online. I do however agree that there is a clear progression from my shadow of a line at 10 DPO.

We had my previous miscarriages tested privately so the clinic we are working with have sent me for beta blood tests tomorrow morning with a repeat draw on Friday. I doubt very much my GP would agree to do any tests without any bleeding/cramping but at least we have got some booked.

Still feeling negative about it, but hopefully will get some answers soon.

Fingers crossed for everyone testing in the coming days XX

Wishfulthinking2021 · 21/04/2021 12:26

Hi ladies hope you're all well?

I'm getting very frustrated an abit upset. I'm on cycle day 37 and still no sign of AF an still getting BFNs 😭. I have got pcos but I don't normally go over 33 days, 😭

Wishfulthinking2021 · 21/04/2021 12:26

All the symptoms I was having a few weeks back have all seemed to have disappeared to

Kayleaaa · 21/04/2021 12:44

AF arrived in full force today thankfully! Definitely won't be looking into shadow lines again as that's caused 3 weeks of heartache!
Hope everyone is doing ok, this month I'll probably pop in more towards the end of the TWW but for now I'm enjoying some chocolate and stretchy leggings!

Skl2021 · 22/04/2021 09:52

@fish231 sorry you got af! 🤞 For this cycle!

@J785948 hope you got some answers with your bloods 🤞

@Wishfulthinking2021 sorry your stuck in limbo. It's not nice when you have long periods and u don't know were you are 😩 hope you get some answers soon. My longest was 49 and it's usually around 30 😣

@Kayleaaa you enjoy that chocolate 🙈 fingers crossed this month 🤞 we need some bfp! Xx

J785948 · 22/04/2021 13:45

Got my beta results back - 132 for 15DPO I think is in an ok range. The big thing is the doubling so going back for another draw tomorrow.

I don't know about anyone else but I really hate having blood tests, it's so hard for them to track down my illusive veins!

Sorry for those who have had AF arrived! Fingers crossed for next month x

fish231 · 27/04/2021 13:18

So my AF has now finished and I am becoming increasingly desperate.. has anyone else used the clear blue advanced digital ovulation test?

Skl2021 · 27/04/2021 13:45

@fish231 I used them in my first pregnancy and they were great alot clearer than the cheap sticks and took the guessing out of it. However it gets costly if u have irregular or long cycles. Do you struggle with normal opks? X

fish231 · 27/04/2021 14:31

@Skl2021 yeah we have been trying for 6 months now and the One step tests I can never tell if they are positive or negative!
I think we have been thinking they are positive but actually they are negative as it's too early. I read online lots of reviews saying people were fortunate enough to fall pregnant quite quickly after using them so I was just curious of other people's experience ☺️
Are they easy to use?

Skl2021 · 27/04/2021 14:45

@fish231 well I used them and it still took 10 months to fall pregnant so wouldn't say they helped but they are easier to read as it's a smiley face no guessing lines. I don't get huge surges with the cheap sticks. The one step ones are really crappy tho I have had them in the past. They are very faint. IV just switched too femometer ones off eBay and they are alot darker. If your not bothered about the money then I say go for it and try them takes the guessing away if your struggling to read them 🤞 xx

Skl2021 · 29/04/2021 14:04

@J785948 how are you doing now?
Is anybody nearing ovulation? I'm cd 14 today but haven't ovulated yet hopefully soon 🤞 xx

Kayleaaa · 29/04/2021 14:32

@Skl2021 I'm on cd9 and already getting high levels on ovulation strips!
I've started taking 5 vitamins and pregnacare conception tablets and they have been amazing, my period was much shorter to a normal 7 days (3 of those days very light instead of super heavy) and it looks like my ovulation is being brought forward by over 20 days!

Skl2021 · 29/04/2021 14:43

@Kayleaaa wow that's great! IV heard mixed reviews on vitamins and tablets saying they mess up your cycle! But looks like it's doing well for you! I was just seeing if anyone was nearly in tww so we could chat again 🤣 hopefully we will be around the same time again! My strips arent dark yet but last month I didn't ovulate until cd 18 so hoping it's the next few days 🤞 and I'm not having a mega long cycle xx

Kayleaaa · 29/04/2021 14:48

@Skl2021 Yeah I've heard a lot of complaints, but my cycles are so messed up so thought it was worth a shot! I know I'm deficient in A LOT of vitamins (yikes) but I've never actually bothered to properly sort it out? Now I'm doing it I feel like I have so much energy and my moods boosted - I even want to DTD for once haha!!
I reckon we'll be around the same time! Hopefully won't be too long for you now, they can suddenly get dark so might be very soon!
I ovulated cd22 last month so if I'm nearing it already at cd9 then I'm very excited. I got the premom app this month and their opks, it's so much nicer seeing pics on my phone rather than trying to remember how dark one was the day before!!

Skl2021 · 29/04/2021 15:23

@Kayleaaa yes it worth a shot if there already messed up 🤣🤞 I'm deficient in folic acid vitamin d and vitamin b12 that I know off my doctor is shit and doesn't help. There only the ones I know so know how it feels 🙈 yes I used the cheap one step ones and switched to femometer with the app much easier to tell! Xx

Lalala1985 · 29/04/2021 18:00

@Kayleaaa I've had that with pregnacare, since I started them my ovulation day has been cd17,cd15 then cd12. I think it's gotten too soon now though.
