Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

@newtolineofduty potentially! I did spot about 3 months ago or so but that was 1 or 2 days before AF. I think I'm swaying more towards AF as I've had zero luck so far. I'll keep testing daily and will report back! X

newtolineofduty · 08/08/2021 20:34

@hoola23 crossing everything for you xxx

hoola23 · 09/08/2021 09:30

@newtolineofduty this morning was a BFN but still no more spotting!

@hoola23 hi and welcome! No more spotting or blood is a good sign, so fingers crossed 🤞🏻

@LittleDoveLove glad the reflexology made you feel good. I'm in my 2WW now, so if it's another negative this cycle I'll book again. It is super relaxing.

@wannabeamummysobad I'm the same. Tracked since January but only started properly trying from May. Good luck and I hope you get your positive this cycle.

@newtolineofduty I am on 4DPO what are you on? When do you plan to test?

Hope everyone is doing well! X

@hoola23 agh no spotting is brill! When will you test again?

@MrsRosaline I'm 6dpo-going to try and wait until AF due (18th!). How about you? Xx

hoola23 · 09/08/2021 12:38

@newtolineofduty I've already tested today and BFN. Not even a squinted and at 11dpo I would have thought something would show by now. AF due either on the 12th or 14th. My cycles vary by a few days each month. I've had zero other symptoms so I just wish AF would arrive!

hoola23 · 09/08/2021 12:39

@MrsRosaline thank you! I love reading everyone's updates even if it does make me obsess even more 🤣

Itsjustme20 · 09/08/2021 13:22

Can someone else please look at this?

I'm now 8 days late. Last took a test on Saturday (so 6 days late) which was a BFN and took another today.

I think there's a line?! 😳🤞🏼

@newtolineofduty I'm due on 17th August. Shall we make a pact to test on the same day!?

hoola23 · 09/08/2021 14:04

@Itsjustme20 oh no! Can you pop out and get a branded one. These IC's are not always the best!

newtolineofduty · 09/08/2021 14:08

How stressful @Itsjustme20-id deffo try a branded one.

Sounds good @MrsRosaline! Could you wait until the Monday night of the 16th!? Xx

newtolineofduty · 09/08/2021 14:11

@MrsRosaline I really don't like doing tests before work and I think at 12dpo an evening urine should show it? Xx

Raindrop25 · 09/08/2021 14:22

Does anyone know much about progesterone levels? I had them tested yesterday and rang for my result today. For the past 2 months it's been 45, and this month is 85, could this be a good sign?

Well what about evening of the 17th!? I'd be 12DPO and you'd be 13 I guess!

@MrsRosaline @newtolineofduty I might tag along if AF doesn't arrive on Sunday

Baby dust to us all 💕💕🤞🏼

Just gone and got a clear blue test.

Digital says not pregnant😭😔😔

newtolineofduty · 09/08/2021 14:52

So sorry @Itsjustme20 what a total head f*. Throw out those cheapies!!!!!

@wannabeamummysobad is AF due Sunday?? Xx

I promised myself I wouldn't test early but I kind of think why delay the disappointment if it's going to be disappointing! X

hoola23 · 09/08/2021 14:54

@Itsjustme20 oh I'm so sorry- that is so cruel! Try and do some self care today and start afresh tomo x

Itsjustme20 · 09/08/2021 14:55

Absolutely! I don't know how late I am (if at all as I have ovulated later in previous cycles) and I know clear blue need higher hormone levels.

The IC I used was a 10 (hormone level thing) and the clearblue is like 25 I think?

Maybe I'll try a FRER in a couple of days xx

wannabeamummysobad · 09/08/2021 15:08

@newtolineofduty @Itsjustme20 yep AF will hopefully not arrive between Sunday 15th (25 day cycle is my average)-Tuesday 17th (once had a 27 day cycle).

It's so hard because I want to test but think best not to distress myself by testing too early.

It's my first time TTC but reading the various threads it seems waiting till then gives me the best chance of knowing either way

@wannabeamummysobad @newtolineofduty I have tested early every cycle and it's just a head fuck because if it's negative you convince yourself it's just too early and then you keep thinking you're in with a shot. So it's more disappointing in the end 😩
