@emsjourney well that's disappointing 😅😅 but I kinda thought so. Fingers crossed for us 🤞🤞🤞

Bundaberg84 · 18/05/2021 08:21

@AlmostLondoner I'm afraid that is an indent line, the space on the test where the dye would appear if you are pregnant. Since there is no dye, the result means either not pregnant (yet, could be that you're very early) or the test is faulty.

AlmostLondoner · 18/05/2021 08:32

@Bundaberg84 I was surprised, never happened to me before and I peed on like dozens of tests 🥴 well it's still early for me so not giving up 🤞

Bundaberg84 · 18/05/2021 08:37

@AlmostLondoner fingers crossed it will be your month!

Willow1982 · 18/05/2021 09:14

@Janerobs congratulations to you!🎉
Well that’s me now in the TWW, realistically I don’t think we dtd close enough to peak, so not hopeful this month! Anyway two weeks to be symptom spotting and going crazy! Good luck to everyone in the TWW with me xx

gimmeavino · 18/05/2021 09:14

@Sam8582 I gave up after 6 days of flashys - think they started at cd19...now on cd28 (my cycles are usually 28-30) and had some AF style twinges yesterday, BFN on tests. It's my first month using OPKs and so I'm hoping that I've just used them wrong and that I don't have a dodgy cycle!

@timeisnotaline that sounds so frustrating! I'm with you there - I could not dtd every other day for a whole month 😴😴😴 fingers crossed we get some clarity!

Janerobs · 18/05/2021 09:45

@Willow1982 thank you! Don't count ourself out just yet. After 2 weeks of trying and no ovulation me and my husband gave up and I ovulated 4 days later and still got a BFP 🥰 xxx

Twinkles18 · 18/05/2021 10:03

So I'm not 8dpo and it is killing me trying to not test early! Bbt dipped this morning so hoping it's possibly an implantation dip🤞 will try and hold off testing until next Tuesday to be sure..so I need you ladies to keep me on track, shout at me if i test early 🤣 really really hoping it's our month 🤍💫

AlmostLondoner · 18/05/2021 10:09

@Twinkles18 fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞 I am a testing monster 😅😅

Willow1982 · 18/05/2021 10:10

Thanks @Janerobs that gives me a bit of hope, fingers crossed it will be the same for me, we dtd so much at the beginning of the week it was just too much by Sunday which was my peak, feel a bit disappointed, but every month is a learning curve, so I will no better for June!!xx

Twinkles18 · 18/05/2021 10:15

@AlmostLondoner I was last month and can't handle the disappointment so iv got DH to hide the pregnancy tests and only let me have them next week...might cave this weekend but sure thats not too bad 😅

AlmostLondoner · 18/05/2021 10:21

@Twinkles18 I get it. I am a very impatient person. We have 13 months old son so I am taking it easy I just love to pee on a stick and wait for result 🤪🤪

ForGoodnessCake · 18/05/2021 11:04

Hey all - almost missed the bus 🤣

I'm 8DPO and I tested yesterday and nothing to see but then this morning at 7&10 am

Have a look 📈📉

Emsjourney · 18/05/2021 11:13

@ForGoodnessCake does seem to be a little shadow on both bottom ones 🤞 xx

ForGoodnessCake · 18/05/2021 11:23

@Emsjourney yeah I thought so too! Fingers crossed that progression comes x

AlmostLondoner · 18/05/2021 11:31

@ForGoodnessCake totally! Congrats ❤️❤️❤️

Twinkles18 · 18/05/2021 11:49

@ForGoodnessCake can see a little shadow too!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞
I'm 8dpo too and trying to resist all POAS urges, you're tempting me 😅

ForGoodnessCake · 18/05/2021 12:59

This is the only month we have been relaxed! I have my birthday party with a few friends next week and LOTS OF ALCOHOL had been purchased!

I've bought another box for 2moro so I'll see if it looks any different.

timeisnotaline · 18/05/2021 14:28

I can see that shadow too forgoodness, fingers crossed!
gimmeavino gp was lovely, is kindly sending me for a hormone test to try and check if ovulating, the only challenge is I think it’s supposed to be done jsut after expected ovulation, so he guessed cd27 and suggested I go then Grin. Can’t hurt. Basically though I’m 38 and he said that’s what cycles do as women get older. I really didn’t expect this to be a thing at 38. He suggested at my age (‘at my age’ how did I get to the point where people say that about me?!) he’s suggest clomid after 6 months. Here’s hoping it doesn’t come to that.

Tryingformylast · 18/05/2021 15:56

Hi. Can I join please. Month 5 ttc for us and I'm 6dpo. Going tomorrow for blood progesterone test due to constant spotting during my luteal phase. Anyone got any experience with a progesterone test? How long does it take for results? Good luck everyone.

ForGoodnessCake · 18/05/2021 17:13

Hi @Tryingformylast my friend is going through this just now and they have put her on a high dose of FA - I'm month 5 TTC after I MC in December.

Tryingformylast · 18/05/2021 17:22

@ForGoodnessCake
Thanks for replying. Do you mean folic acid? I didn't know that could help. Will defo keep that in mind.

Sam8582 · 18/05/2021 17:36

@gimmeavino I'm no expert but I think mine said to start testing around cd8/9 (based on a 27 day cycle, so maybe you just started a bit late?

@timeisnotaline oh god I'm 38 too, there's a lot to think about isn't there, what cycle are you on? I'm on 4 now and honestly don't know if I'd be in a rush to go that route but I suppose, realistically it may be necessary 😲 fingers crossed for your ovulation test!

gimmeavino · 18/05/2021 18:41

@timeisnotaline fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 glad the GP was lovely - can be so hit and miss can't it

@Sam8582 yeah I think so! Armed with knowledge after this cycle now - hopefully AF comes in the next day or two (I mean I wouldn't say no to a BFP but happy to roll on to next cycle now)

I have a dilemma though guys, I have a thermometer to do temps...and from what I've read you need a few hours of uninterrupted at least and must take temp before you get out of bed. I know this sounds daft but my cat wakes me up at 4:30 every morning, I kick her out the room (not literally) and go back to sleep for an hour or two but wouldn't say it's uninterrupted, so I think I might resign to getting up at 4:30 every day for the next cycle in the name of accuracy 🤣

gimmeavino · 18/05/2021 18:42

Or I suppose I could do temps at 4:30 and go back to sleep - it's just remembering 😂
