Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

@WhirlingD I definitely see it on both as the others said leave it a few days and try again but as for FRER the line of my FRER was rubbish compared to the cheapies and the clearblue. I've seen a couple of posts on her about dodgy FRER. I started using 'answer one step' tests the look very similar to FRERs but without the branding and I found those the best. Fingers crossed for you!

Another flashy smiley face for me on the CB advanced, I already want to punch it’s smug face 😂😂

Well I got up for a wee at 3am and had lots of pink and red blood and a few little clots. I'm only 10DPO? This never happens to me. Still spotting this morning. Hoping it's a fluke and not AF showing up early...

@WhirlingD I echo Kay00 to say I've never had a faint line and you've got TWO so that's very promising! Fingers crossed for you.

Taking a relaxed approach this month here. Using OPKs but don’t think I’ll bother even temping for ovulation. CD12/13ish I think. Having trouble getting through to anyone to chase my referral so that’s my little project this month. Also got assigned the social update in our quarterly calls in work which are 90% baby and pregnancy announcements so that’s a bit of a low but what can you do.

@WhirlingD one of those lines looked to have too much colour for an indent so keeping the fingers crossed for you.

@Juno231 hope AF holds off and it’s just a fluke 🤞

@Kay00 here’s hoping you’re not having to find a quiet corner of the woods for a quickie. Enjoy the camping and here’s hoping you have another timely ovulation this month.

@Charliecircle11 I had four flashies last month and two the month before so for me it varies. I also have rapid surges so I test in the afternoon with a cheapie and if I see a surge I’ll retest with the advanced then as I’ve gotten a flashy in the morning and a peak in the afternoon before. But I don’t want two a day unless the cheapie shows something. Hope that makes sense.

@MrsHInch sorry about the negative result but hope you can enjoy your weekend away and fingers crossed you get a late positive x

@Gracie2021 I’ve just ordered some cheap ones off amazon. I’ll test again tonight and see if it changes to a fixed. I’ve only been off the pill 10 days, so probably all up in the air anyway. We keep DTD on the flashy smiley faces day so hopefully that’s enough!

@Charliecircle11 I get the obsessing! I've been using cheapy opks for a few days now. All flagging up as 0% on femometer but some do have a very faint second line. I've got egg white cm now though, so hopefully a peak over the weekend? We've got a babysitter for dc1 this weekend and are having a date night so fingers crossed!
The bleeding has stopped, it was basically black cm rather than bleeding really. I'm going to assume it was old blood coming out with my cm? Just noticeable as there was more of it than I ever got on the pill.

Fingers crossed for ovulation / bfp for everyone

Only just seen this! Thanks for adding me in the list 🥰

No news here, according to ovusense I ovulated at the weekend, later than normal so my initial fears we'd miss is as would be away and room sharing with DD were irrelevant as we were back home, fingers crossed now! I had hyperemesis with DD and was being sick before my positive test last time. Felt really nauseous eating dinner last night to the point I gave up and just ate some bread, but unless I ovulated earlier than chart suggests then it's probably too early for that to mean anything!

Hope you're all doing ok xx

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow we are away over the weekend at my in laws, so no DTD! Hoping if I get my peak tomorrow and have DTD tonight, that will be sufficient! I found that my discharge does have blood for a few days after my period as stopped and if I have DTD, can aggravate it sometimes. Fingers crossed your peak coincides with date night 😊

Still no AF for me.. hope everyone's well!
How are you doing @ChinChilly ..I'm very invested in your pregnancy 😂

@MissM94 ahh thank you for asking! I'm ok I'm just really tired pretty much all the time. The nausea has kicked in the last few days so I just walk round randomly heaving. Most foods do not appeal to me at all so I'm finding it hard to eat a balanced diet. According to my LMP I'm 7 weeks today so hoping to book in an early scan over the next 2 weeks.

@Charliecircle11 you'll just have to pretend to be teenagers again sneaking around being silent 🤣

@ChinChilly you should be able to see something on the scan by 7 weeks I think, definitely by 8 weeks. The nausea sounds awful, have you found anything that eases it?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow I think I'm too nervous to book it incase it's not the news i want. I haven't found anything yet, my friend suggests ice lollies but she warned me to get the cheap ones as she went through about 10 a day

Hope you're all well and looking forward to then bank holiday weekend!

I think AF is arriving 😔 got home from work and had spotting when I wiped. I'm CD27. Really frustrating as we DTD every other day from the day after I finished my period to the weekend just gone, and every day during what I think was my ovulation week (not tracking yet so just going by cm).
I was trying not to, but my hopes were going up as my emotions have been all over the place the last week and I've been getting waves of nausea for a few days, but maybe this is just how my periods will be. This is my second AF off the pill. First one was 49 days after coming off so surprised its come this early. Before the pill I had long and unpredictable periods

@ChinChilly yeah I understand what you mean. Have you had any bleeding or anything? Or just worried about a possible mmc? Hopefully everything is fine 🤞🤞🤞. A friend of mine ate a lot of the ice pop tube things you buy in multipacks and shove in the freezer. When I had dc1 I found the nausea was worse when I was hungry so I grazed constantly.

@kat668 oh I'm sorry 😔. I hope it isn't AF and it stops soon. If you are only cd27 it might be nothing, especially if you usually have long cycles. Keeping my fingers crossed for you

@ChinChilly ahhh I'm so excited for you 😍 but not excited that you're heaving at everything haha.. hopefully you get to see little bean very soon then! Have you told anyone?

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow no bleeding or anything I think it is just the MMC thing. Nausea is definitely worse if I haven't eaten but then it gets to the point i have to force myself to eat because i really don't fancy anything. I've just popped to tesco and brought some of those for the freezer, they don't have take me back to my childhood.

@MissM94 yeah the heaving is not fun but hopefully it doesn't last too long. Only told one of my friends as she knew we were TTC, I think we will tell parents once we've had that early scan then everyone else after the 12 week one.

Would you say this is positive (or close) or just an indent? Femometer says its coming up at 0% but my others had zero line at all!

If I put my phone torch behind it the control line is still purple but the test line is kind of white so I'm wondering maybe indent.
I'll do another next time I need a wee to be sure

I gave in and tested tonight. The weird shadow second line was there but no better than Tuesday night so clearly some sort of indent to mess with my head. I've also just learnt that the couple we are seeing tomorrow are expecting baby number 3 so I've just poured myself a glass of wine and am forgetting about it all for a while. I'm going to try really hard tomorrow and be happy for them.

I think this makes it pretty clear it was an indent. Oh well, guess I'll do another tomorrow

@Sunshinedaisybuttermellow sometimes you can peak quickly and it’s over and done with. This cycle for me was like that but cycle before that I had test lines stronger then the control line for 3 days . And because I peaked so quickly this time round I didn’t get a chance to test on my CB. I’m 4DPO at the mo. Only way to tell is if you are doing your BBT

@ChinChilly ahh yeah, that makes sense! Hopefully as the weeks go on you can start to relax and enjoy it, understandable why you are nervous though!

@MissM94 I'm hoping if all is well with the early scan I'll feel better, I'm not sure the worrying will ever go away completely lol

@ChinChilly oh I'd be completely the same! you'll stop worrying the minute they slip out the vag 😂

@Moocher90 I haven't been temping this cycle, I thought I'd give it a couple then start. I think I possibly did ovulate (or my body at least tried to) because I had loads of ewcm yesterday and the day before, but today there's barely any cm at all. If I did ovulate I've not covered it because dh was ill until yesterday and not feeling 100% till this morning.
Only time will tell I guess.

@ChinChilly there's always something new to worry about haha
