Good luck @CrumchyLeafs sounds very promising if you had implantation bleeding! 🥰

Curlywurly3 · 20/11/2021 07:40

@Cruzxo if they’re not positive then I don’t know what is! Those lines are nice and blue. 🤞🏻 for your positive on a FRER!

@Essexnewbie @SantiagoSister @ajayelbee so I’m now 1DPO and I’m worried we haven’t covered all bases. DTD 5 days, 2 days and 1 day before O but not yesterday (O day) I know the little swimmers can last a few days but I just wish we had done it yesterday too, frustrating!

How is everyone feeling?

Cruzxo · 20/11/2021 07:42

@Curlywurly3 thank you but I’ve just done a CB digital and it says not pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess they are all evap lines 🥴xx

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 07:43

@Cruzxo digital takes higher hcg levels to pick up so may still be positive but you are not far along enough yet x

SantiagoSister · 20/11/2021 07:47

@Curlywurly3 aw try not to worry too much, you’ve absolutely done enough! When I conceived last time we never DTD on O day either, and we still fell 😊 we’ve done the same this month, we started trying too early in my cycle as I wasn’t sure when I would ovulate, so we’d burned out by the time O day was here lol try not to worry, you’ve definitely covered all bases, I’ve read the day before O is your most fertile time and you DTD on that day. I’m still feeling very impatient 😂 3DPO now, I’d forgotten how long the TWW feels. Going to be busy today so I hope that passes some time! How’s everyone else doing?

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 08:07

@SantiagoSister good idea keep busy! It’s getting to the time of year where there’s a million things to do every weekend which will help!
I’m still none the wiser if I’m pregnant or not. At the hospital Thursday they could see something in my womb but it’s very very small so could be the start of a new pregnancy or a whole number of things including left over tissue from miscarriage. They did bloods and will be doing more bloods today to see hcg levels so fingers crossed by the end of today I will have a clearer picture.

Essexnewbie · 20/11/2021 08:11

@Curlywurly3 @SantiagoSister I feel you on the worry of not doing enough and also the time going slowly!! I just can’t seem to take my mind off it all for longer than a few hours? I definitely need a new hobby 🙈 Natural Cycles told me I could have ovulated on day 14 or 15 (I thought 14 originally) so now I’m like eek did we BD late enough too!? But as you say, the swimmers can survive a few days so hopefully it’s okay. We just need to try and relax and enjoy our weekends (easier said than done ha!) X

Cruzxo · 20/11/2021 08:31

Aww thank you I just have a gut feeling those tests are just s**t! Especially now I’ve done an FRER and also a digital and both of those were negative ☹️Xx

SantiagoSister · 20/11/2021 08:50

@gvs97 that’s so true, definitely that time of year where there’s lots of things to do all the time so it will definitely help take our minds off things for a bit. So sorry to hear that you’re still in the dark with things, it must be so frustrating 😔 I’m pleased that they’re re-doing your bloods today, fingers crossed you will know what’s going on by the end of today and you can move forward either way, hopefully it is a new pregnancy and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Essexnewbie same! I find myself thinking about it every few hours too. Not helpful! Yes you’re definitely right there, they can hang around for days so I’m sure you’ve done enough this month to be in with a chance 🤞🏼 Really hoping this is our month!

@Cruzxo that’s so confusing for you 😩 it just doesn’t make sense does it, I would never dream that many tests could’ve been faulty!? But so odd how the FRER is negative. Maybe you could get hold of a few different brands of tests to see what they say, I see lots of people using the easy@home tests from Amazon which you could get hold of pretty quickly. Good luck! ✨

WorriedD93 · 20/11/2021 09:57

Good luck @gvs97 keep us updated ❤️❤️❤️ Or @Cruzxo that is so confusing! Hope you get answers soon maybe book bloods at the doctors if you can xxxx

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 09:59

Thank you so much @SantiagoSister & @WorriedD93 Xxx love to you ladies.
I really really want to be pregnant and am quite worried about the alternative - if there’s tissue left in having to have another erpc or taking tablets to bring on a bleed will not be enjoyable! What will be will be I suppose. Going out for a big brunch now to take my mind off things for a while!

Natalie2304 · 20/11/2021 10:17

Thoughts anyone? I'm 10DPO xx

Natalie2304 · 20/11/2021 10:19

Ooops wrong photo and don't know how to remove it. This is today, that was yesterday!

ajayelbee · 20/11/2021 10:56

@Curlywurly3 I’m also 1dpo 🙌 I think I’ve read in the SMEP plan that you should DTD the day after O too.

@SantiagoSister @Essexnewbie we all need to take up a new hobby to get us through 😂

For anyone else tracking BBT, do you get an immediate rise after you ovulate, or can it be more gradual?

CrumchyLeafs · 20/11/2021 10:57

@Natalie2304 I think I can see a vvvvfl!

I am also 10DPO today and got a BFN, not even the illusion of a line. Also more brown spotting so I guess I will see if AF shows up early or not, feeling kind of defeated.

ajayelbee · 20/11/2021 10:57

@Natalie2304 I think I see a v v v v faint line!

Natalie2304 · 20/11/2021 11:08

I'm so glad it's not just me! Feel like I'm getting line eyes! I didn't get my BFP with DD until 11DPO and at 10DPO couldn't see a thing so hoping it will be clearer in the morning!
@CrumchyLeafs you're not out just yet lovely. Keep positive ❤️ sending lots of baby dust!

Essexnewbie · 20/11/2021 11:24

@ajayelbee I track my bbt and based on temp and LH surge Natural Cycles thinks I ovulate on CD 14 or 15 and it’s always CD17 when my temp rises. So definitely a slower rise over a couple of days for me! Unless I actually ovulate on CD16 but that would be quite a bit after my LH surge so I wouldn’t have thought so…although I always seem to sleep badly waiting for my temp to rise so maybe that affects things too!

@CrumchyLeafs there is definitely still time! Keep your chin up xx

CrumchyLeafs · 20/11/2021 11:47

@Natalie2304 @Essexnewbie Thank you!

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 12:59

So I’m not pregnant :( hcg falling very slowly from miscarriage. I have started to spot today so hopefully that’s AF and things can hurry up and get back to normal. Thank you all for the support and good luck. I’ll see some of you on the ttc December thread xx

Natalie2304 · 20/11/2021 13:01

@gvs97 oh I'm so sorry to hear that, such an awful time for you. I hope it's AF for you too and next month you can get back to trying. Wishing you all the luck in the world for next month. Keep positive sweetie ❤️

positiveovernegative · 20/11/2021 14:02

alexalexalex18 · 20/11/2021 14:55

Ladies, I’m on my period.
Hoping to get more lucky next month.
How soon after your period ends do you guys start testing with ovulation strips?

Good luck to everyone still waiting for their BFP! ✨

WorriedD93 · 20/11/2021 15:25

@Natalie2304 I see a very very faint line! Hope it gets stronger! Xxx

@gvs97 I’m so sorry you have to go through this hope you feel a bit better knowing answers now and not too anxious ❤️

@positiveovernegative I see a very faint line with you too! Xxx

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 16:16

Thank you @Natalie2304 @WorriedD93 ❤️
Good luck @alexalexalex18 I would be interested in knowing an answer to this too
