New thread ladies!!! 😍😍😍

I can't see any of the old messages to properly comment and tag people - aaargh!!

But here's to lots of healthy, happy, sticky BFPs in this thread!!! 😘😘😘🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Yumcoffee I have everything crossed that this happens 🤞🤞🤞

@VixFromThe6ix has you tested again today??

@AnxiousWannabe I use clearblue digital advanced opk plus bbt and although it does change a lot I do get a rise in the end. So it's a mix of ovulation test and bbt. I've had day 21 bloods once and my progesterone was 64 so definitely ovulated that month! I'm not convinced I do every month but the last few I have. I had very low iron levels so since that's been fixed it seems to be a little better

@VixFromThe6ix 🤞🏻 everything crossed for a sticky bean cp are so disappointing!

@Noodella18 yes... Three times lol it's as light as yesterday....

@marvellouslymadmum thank you 😊

@VixFromThe6ix that looks darker to me cause you can actually see it without editing...? Remind me of your dpo? I'd be tempted to frer... really hoping for a good line for you tomorrow xx

@Noodella18 I'm either 11 or 12 dpo today... I thought it'd be darker...

@VixFromThe6ix

You may want to stop testing and tell yourself this I am pregnant today.

Testing more won't make you more or less pregnant. I know it's hard and I struggle with it. I tested myself twice on cheapie today even though all I ever got is bfn.

Relax. Take a deep breath. Try to forget your HCG for now.

@VixFromThe6ix my easy@home took 3-4 days to get even a little darker . Ended up panicking and ordered FRER to 'check ' and it was much brighter. I've decided to step away from the sticks today as peeing on a stick will bit change the outcome now and just causes worry. I am 19dpo today and line isn't as bright as I would like but clearblue digital says 2-3 weeks which is correct so I need to believe it and hope for the best . Massive congratulations by the way x

@VixFromThe6ix
Can definately see something there , it looks a bit darker to me.
@TTCat39 congrats to you too!!! 😍 I cant keep up on here !! X

@AnxiousWannabe I tell myself that every day.. I won't test, I won't test, I won't test... Then I sit there and think I gotta pee so why not test on a cheapie. And if I don't see what I wish, I'll test again on my next pee. It's such a mental thing... I need to be stronger and walk away for a bit and let whatever is meant to happen happen....

@Gummybear17 I am waiting till 14 dpo and using a frer that day. I didn't wanna use it too early but your experience with easy@home sticks gives me hope that mine will get darker. Last time we got pregnant I also used easy@home sticks but they were a little bit darker at this point but just a little. So happy for you ❤️

@MgW1 cross your fingers for me 🙏😊

@VixFromThe6ix your last comment above could have been me . I promised myself I was 'saving ' my clearblue until I was at least 6 weeks to check all was ok but no today I needed to pee and caved ! Feel so weak sometimes... x fingers crossed for a sticky bean for you lovely x

@Gummybear17 thank you my darling ❤️ your support means a lot

I may not be the most qualified person to tell you this but I was having the convo with DH that my af has not arrived and I am afraid it may be another cp. He told me - you can't control it. If you have a cp it just proves that you can get pregger. If you are pregger, bravo! Worrying won't work.

We agree that I should stop testing. So when I saw your post after my chat I just wanted to share. HCG I read takes time to double.

@AnxiousWannabe I think it's a smart decision to stop testing. It does really mess with me. I feel like I'm in such a bad mood after and nothing can make it better. And stress level is just through the roof.
If someone told me 10yrs ago that ttc would be the most stressful thing I ever had to endure, I wouldn't believe them for a second.

To those that have had a HyCoSy, do they tell you what they can see during the procedure or do you have to wait for results?

@Misty84 I had mine done privately so I don't know if it's different. But mine showed me the screen she was looking at and talked me through what she was seeing.

Thanks @Kitekat81. That’s what happened at my transvaginal scan so I was hoping it was the same! Was it painful? I’m a bit of a wuss when it comes to pain! 🙃

@Misty84 I didn't find it painful at all, it didn't feel any different to the transvaginal scan. I took a painkiller an hour before and she gave me an antibiotic to take in the evening.

Thank you @Kitekat81.

I have it in a week and a half. 10dpo today and really hoping this is finally the month I get a BFP so I don’t have to start the ivf journey! But after nearly 2 years TTC it is pretty unlikely 😔
Not usually an early tester but getting tempted this cycle!

@Misty84 good luck! I'm feeling the same, only this cycle and next to try and then I'll be starting ivf. 7dpo today, it goes so slowly... I might be a tester this cycle, not sure. I've stopped bbt-ing and usually rely on that to let me know that af is on it's way so have never really bothered testing.

@VixFromThe6ix that's definitely a little line hopefully it'll get darker in a few days or try a frer like the others said.

Loving all the bfp on here at the moment! Really does give some hope

@Kitekat81 I usually rely on temping too but unfort my thermometer stopped working last cycle and I haven’t bothered to replace it yet!🤦‍♀️ It’s been quite nice not temping every morning...however does make me feel more in the dark about things!
The TWW is ridiculously slow..!!!

hi @Misty84 i had a HSG (NHS) which i believe is the same, i was able to see screen and was told that tubes were clear.

Thanks @got2be. Really didn’t want to be waiting ages for results so that’s good news!
