Please tag anyone I’ve missed!

OMG. Ladies. I always thought I would be really cool about this. But i'm a little bit freaking out... I need your sensible opinions please!

I'm 14DPO according to FF (or perhaps I am 10DPO)? I had a tine bit of pink tinged CM on CD12 (or 9DPO?) Please see my chart.

Yesterday I did an IC after a 5 hour hold (after my epic walk, where I was genuinely expecting to come on my period, but it didn't happen) and it was negative. But, I didn't spend a long time looking at it, left it at my desk and promptly fell asleep on the sofa.

This morning it looks like the IC had an evap line. This is my first ever 2nd line, but it looks grey, so i'm assuming an evap.

So with my 2nd morning urine I have done a FRER (at 14DPO/10DPO) and .... another line!? Its vvv. faint and I cannot see any colour, but it came up within the 3 minutes. Another evap? I will have to assume so?

I'm unable to get a good picture of the tests, as the lines are too faint, but I can see them in real life... but maybe this plus the fact that I am unable to see any colour, is why I should assume they are evaps?

@Juno231 in response to your question I had a huge platter of sushi... it was amazing!

@Kay00 do you normally have pink tinted CM at this point in your cycle or have you ever had it before and AF has turned up?
If not.. get pissing on a stick first thing in the morning! Sending lots of luck your way 🥰

@Kay00 tinged not tinted 🙄

@ChinChilly how are you? Hope everything's going well ☺️

@Kay00 I had an evap on an IC but never on a FRER. My money would be on you only being 10 DPO and actually being pregnant. I am keeping absolutely everything crossed for you and if this were true, it would make my day. You absolutely deserve this! Keep us posted. We need some good news.

By the way, my friend just got pregnant after 2 years of trying and it was a month after her HyCoSy. I think that does something to the system!

I'm on CD42 with nothing. Temps really low (even more so than usual) and now my cheapie OPKs have gone very faint (after 10 days of quite strong lines). I'm hopeful this is AF coming. If so, it would be an ovulating cycle but at least it would be progress. Cheapie pregnancy tests negative obviously.

Test results back tomorrow or Wednesday. Trying not to freak out.

@WhirlingD I really don't want to get my hopes up, as if I am 14DPO then a line this faint would not be great news. Plus it could just be a coincidental 2 x evap lines. I'll test again tomorrow maybe, or the day after if AF hasn't shown. In the mean time I try to take my mind off it!

If/when AF does show, then I'll be booking in my HyCoSy.

@MissM94 yes, lol, I have had pink tinged CM before, but then I often spot for a few days before AF arrives, so I have seen the whole range of 'spotting'.

@MissM94 I'm ok thank you, I'm really struggling with the sickness at the moment. I tend to feel sick all day then I'm spending most of the evening with my head down the toilet so it's not much fun at the moment.

@Kay00 hmm that does all sound positive, fingers crossed for you 🤞

Hope everybody else is ok!

@ChinChilly that does sound rubbish... it seems completely unfair that sickness is a side effect of pregnancy!

@Kay00 it is pretty rubbish especially seen as it's at the start when you don't really tell anyone so you can't really tell people why you feel so shitty. I'm just hoping it calms down over the next couple of weeks

@Kay00 I'd say OD was on CD19 and you're only 10DPO now! Fingers crossed this is it - you'd deserve this!!!

@Juno231 hmm, do you think? My low temps before CD15 could be down to be camping at the time. But then my 2nd temp rise coincided with my Covid vaccine, so I just put it down to that - haha!

Either way, those lines are only barely visible, so I'm not getting excited just yet... but secretly have my fingers crossed!

@Kay00 partly because the temps look a lot more like post O temps at that point - even though I know you normally have quite low temps.

@ChinChilly you poor girl 😩 I hope it clears up for you soon! Are you managing to find something you can keep down or is just everything coming up?

@Kay00 so you're very experienced in the spotting front?! 😂 aww I just hope it is something though!

I certainly spoke too soon. More spotting today, and bright red this time . I am going to assume I am 14DPO and those tests were evaps.

@kay00 poo! But you're not out until you're out... If it was a CP it's also a good sign to be fair that now your body is ovulating properly you are finally catching that egg! Next one could be the lucky one even if this one doesn't pan out xxx

@Juno231 it would certainly be a step in the right direction.

I'll keep you updated with what happens, but if this is CD1 then I'll need to book in my HyCoSy... eek!

@Kay00 fingers crossed for you, either way you’ve had a good length cycle and ovulated successfully so that’s a great sign!

CD 7 here nothing to report. Think I’m going to start OPKs from cd 10 since I know I normally ovulate later.

@SkeletonSkins good shout!

@Moocher90 how's ovulation coming along?

@ChinChilly sorry you're feeling so ill, remember that you can get meds for it from the midwife if you're feeling really terrible.

@Juno231 i’m CD9 today and despite it not being strong really the OPK at both ends are quite equal in colour. Will continue to test and BD anyway as think it’s still early for me to ovulate but my stick is progressing so fingers crossed it will be earlier then CD20

My endo is upping my levothyroxine as my TSH still isn’t as low as they want it to be.

@Kay00 fingers crossed it’s a BFP xx

@MissM94 I can keep some things down, mainly in the morning but I struggle to keep anything down from late afternoon and I really don't want to eat anything at all. I'm trying the anti nausea bands, they worked well yesterday but not so much today.

@Juno231 I think I'll need to speak to the midwife or doctor tomorrow, tbh it's making me utterly miserable, I can't get anything at work or around the house done and I can't remember the last time i ate a balanced meal.

@Kay00 sorry about the spotting, i had everything firmly crossed for you!

@kat668 thanks so much,
It is hard. Those that don't want it or aren't fussed get it easily and then there's others wanting it so badly who can't seem to!
Just life I guess, but hard to take sometimes.
@Kay00 oh I'm so sorry to hear about the spotting. You'd deserve it so much. Its not fully here yet I'm guessing so there's still some hope♥️
And wow to your 9 hour walk, in the heat as well!
@ChinChilly sorry to hear your suffering with bad sickness. I hope it passes soon for you x
@WhirlingD ah I like a good story of people that tried for ages and then it happened ♥️

Another one I found out a couple of days ago.
An old college friend, I assumed had had ivf. But turned out she tried for 4 years and just before they were going for ivf she found out she was pregnant.
These stories are what I try to think of to keep me ppositive so I thought I'd tell yyoun

Oops to my dodgy spelling at the end. My phone went crazy
