Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

Af due next Sunday. I'm thinking to stop even stop using Flo as I just can't get my hopes up again ! Sad have a feeling I'll be out again. Good things just don't happen to me easily.
Miss negativity here today 😅

Katiekattty · 28/04/2021 08:58

I got BFN and I’m sure I’m out. All my normal signs of AF are here now. Roll on cycle 3

extrababydust123 · 28/04/2021 09:25

@Veronika13 sorry to hear you’re feeling down today, rollercoaster isn’t it! 😞 there’s still lots of time for a bfp though, you aren’t out until af arrives. Everything crossed for you

@Katiekattty sorry about your bfn 😫 sending love to you. Hopefully we get our BFP’s next cycle ❤️

@Bexboo1 I can still see the line! By tomorrow it should be pretty clear I’d say!

@extrababydust123 so sorry that you feel you’re out for this month...it’s not over until af shows up!!

What do you ladies think of the app Flo? I use it as well as P.C. (period calendar), they’re usually pretty in sync but this month my ovulation day was a day later on Flo.

Katiekattty · 28/04/2021 17:53

@extrababydust123 I’m sorry you’re out too but we can at least have drink over the Bank holiday.

@Cosyclothes I use Flo too but the dates are off when it comes ovulation for me especially since I started testing.

lena21 · 28/04/2021 18:16

@Cosyclothes -
I use FF app which I find quite useful if u r doing BBT, this has helped me track and confirm ovulation. Also kept me sane 😅

I have used the free version of Flo which was good, think the paid version is better but don't think it's better than FF app.. again that's just my opinion..🙊

@Veronika13 ,@extrababydust123, @katiekattty sorry u feel AF is gonna show up, I see my optimism running low as well but hope we are wrong 🌈🤗

FinnsMammy · 28/04/2021 20:31

Hi girls! I’m hoping I can join ! TTC baby no.2! Currently 7dpo after my chemical pregnancy last month! xx

ohhisammi · 28/04/2021 21:22

Hi ladies sorry I've been awol I started a new job.
Think I'm out this month AF due Saturday but feels like she's coming early.
It'd be good to keep this thread going, love how we are roughly on the same time frame ♥️
Good luck to everyone still in.
And let's get going on the next cycle to the rest of us 🥳 cycle 3 for me.

Emsjourney · 28/04/2021 21:41

@ohhisammi I'm due Sunday and yep think I'm out too. All bfn's so far and pretty sure getting all pms symptoms, although the pregnacare vitamins have totally messed me up 🤦🏻‍♀️ hope you're settling into new job well 😃

@FinnsMammy it's a lovely group and nice to share how we're all getting on.

I'm looking forward to tracking this next cycle properly. I have the clearblue digital monitor, has anyone used this? Also want to track my bbt. Cycle 8 for me. 😞 feels like it's been ages! I understand some couples are trying a lot longer but it really is tough

Cosyclothes · 28/04/2021 23:11

@Katiekattty that’s really interesting. Are you tracking your ovulation using OPKs? I haven’t started down that road yet, I might wait a while and see what happens!

@lena21 that’s where you take your temp every morning isn’t it? I am using the free version of Flo too but it keeps trying to get me to upgrade. Lol.

@FinnsMammy I am 6/7 dpo too so I am the same as you! 🥰 I am thinking of testing on Friday out of sheer curiosity.

Katiekattty · 28/04/2021 23:24

@Cosyclothes I’m using OPK’s to track.

Bexboo1 · 29/04/2021 07:25

Hi girls, concerned it's not getting much darker? 😩😩do you think they are just evaps xx

3dpo, 1st cycle. TWW with me?
lena21 · 29/04/2021 08:33

@Bexboo1 -do you have any other tests you can try? I would say to leave it for another 2 days and test again 🤗🤞

lena21 · 29/04/2021 08:40

@FinnsMammy - sorry to hear about ur chemical, I had two MCs and trying for baby #1. I know how draining it can all get. Hope this is ur month 🌈😍.

@Cosyclothes - yep with FF you would have to take your temp every morning. At first it might sound like a hassle but it really is a good way to track ovulation. I am quite used to it and it has always been right so worth a try😎

@ohhisammi - new job sounds exciting, hope u r finding it ok . Yep agree to keep the thread going 😀

November4 · 29/04/2021 09:56

Tested this morning with a clear blue early detection at 11dpo and it was BFN. 😫 I think I'm out girls. 😔

FinnsMammy · 29/04/2021 12:02

@lena21 sorry to hear about your 2 ina row I heard this was uncommon! I’m hoping I don’t get 2 in a row 🤞🏻

@Bexboo1 how many DPO are you ? Last month I got a faint line at DPO 11 but it doubled in darkness by DPO 13 see below but then DPO 13 and 15 stayed the same colour this raised alarm bells for me I did end up miscarrying but I did read that in some cases the HCG may only double every 48 hours ! So just keep an eye on it! Good luck xx

@Cosyclothes I’m also 7/8 today I think I’m going to hold strong Sunday! With my 19month old son and chemical I waited until 11 dpo with FRER I feel it’s my lucky number lol ! Fingers and toes crossed for you ! Xx

3dpo, 1st cycle. TWW with me?
Bexboo1 · 29/04/2021 12:54

@lena21 I have some clear blue but not sensitive ones 😩

@November4 do your negative frers have evaps/indents? I feel like that's what mine are

@FinnsMammy 11dpo today but not 100% on the day I ovulated, the app says on the Sunday but I don't know that for certain, could have been the Monday 🤷🏼‍♀️

FinnsMammy · 29/04/2021 13:21

@Bexboo1 you could be pregnant and you may have implanted late too! I know I implanted on DPO 7 last month as i happened to be lying in bed at the time so I felt it happening so I knew by DPO11 I should have seen something but you can implant anywhere from DPO 6 to 12. I don’t believe in evap lines on FRER pink dyes I think if there’s any line at all it’s picking up HCG. If it gets darker happy days but if it doesn’t it’s probably a chemical 😢! Best of luck I hope it darkens for you !

FinnsMammy · 29/04/2021 13:25

@November4 last month I tested with a clear blue early detection on DPO 11. It was negative but First response I got a faint line. Don’t lose hope yet ! X

FinnsMammy · 29/04/2021 13:32

Girls, if you do get pregnant how do you plan on telling your partners ? My Hubbie defo thinks we are out this month as I ovulated so late he is already asking me to buy opks for next month! I was convinced my period was coming yesterday and told him the same so he thinks I’m on my period now lol . If I do fall pregnant this cycle it will be a big surprise!!

ohhisammi · 29/04/2021 16:38

@FinnsMammy
I've got a little box with a baby grow in saying "I can't wait to meet you daddy" and some cute confetti, I'll put a Digi test in once I have one I too.

Well I thought my period was coming last night but it hasn't just light brown spotting and cramps (which I do sometimes get before hand) so I going to hold out till Saturday and see what it brings 😂

@extrababydust123 how are you getting on ?

@lena21 thank you. I'm working in Child Services which is super interesting.

Emsjourney · 29/04/2021 17:00

@FinnsMammy I want to get a little vest and put a couple of tests with a clearblue Digi and present it in an empty kitchen drawer and ask him to pass me a spoon so when he opens it there'll be a complete surprise ❤️ hopefully soon xx

extrababydust123 · 29/04/2021 17:28

@FinnsMammy aw how exciting! Fingers crossed you get your bfp and can surprise him 🤗 also in regards to telling my partner I’m honestly undecided on how, so it’ll be nice to see people’s suggestions so I can get some inspiration 😂

@ohhisammi sorry to hear you think you may be out, but until af arrives you never know! I haven’t tested today, I’m going to use a frer in the morning at 12dpo just to waste money and confirm what I already know and get onto the next cycle 😂

I do hope we can all keep speaking on here and updating each other on our journeys! Those who get their BFP’s this month and those who don’t! As you said, the majority of us have the same cycle so could all get our BFP’s together next cycle fingers crossed 🤞🏽🥰

OP posts:
FinnsMammy · 29/04/2021 18:10

@ohhisammi love this idea you are prepared 😉 100 percent it has to be a digital test !! 🙌
@Emsjourney this is also a great idea I’m
Undecided was thinking I could put it in a zipper bag in the teabag box and ask for a cup of tea ? lol or I could ask my 19month old to hand it to him but he would probably stick it in his mouth 😂😂
@extrababydust123 exactly I think it will be nice to support each other again next month even if we don’t get BFP’s...

Bexboo1 · 29/04/2021 20:19

Just wanted to update you all, 2 positive frers this afternoon, 2 positive clear blues and a positive cheapie because I obviously didn't believe them 🤣 xx
