TTC NOVEMBER 2021

[Lua2020]

Well… AF came and got me in a big way today so on to the next cycle anyone else TTC November 2021?

Oh that is really strange @Hayls07! I’ve never experienced it stopping like that before? It drives me mad all the unusual things our bodies do, especially when TTC as we’re hyper sensitive to everything 😂

Thank you @SantiagoSister I really appreciate you saying so. Your message did make me feel way less alone. I’m really sorry you had so much worry before and again this time, it’s just awful isn’t it! I wish we could know it would all be fine. The only thing I’m finding helping me is to stay really busy and distracted but can’t keep that up forever 😂 hopefully we won’t have to go through this for too much longer!! 💘

@Hayls07 I really hope that AF stays away from you and it was just some kind of spotting. I had spotting for the first 12 weeks with my DD from the day AF was due so it is possible!
If not and we're not lucky this month it will be nice to speak to you next month 🥰

@Essexnewbie I'm so sorry for making you emotional! I didn't mean to! It was supposed to be supportive 🙈 this is your month! Remember that! 😘

A bit late to the party but I’m 6DPO TTC #3. Really hoping this is our month and DH is in the army and has to go away soon.

@Natalie2304 oh my god no not at all, it was teary in a lovely way!! Imagining a Christmas baby. I was very grateful for your message 🥰 it’s your month too 😀🤞🏼 X

@SantiagoSister

That sounds like a good idea *@gvs97*, that’ll give a good amount of time to see if the line comes up a bit darker by then. It must be worrying not knowing where you stand with this FRER, I don’t know what’s going on with them but just now a lady on another forum has just got a bad indent line on her FRER, it’s even pink! 😩 she dipped a Superdrug early test in the same wee and it’s come up stark white negative. It’s so confusing and upsetting, I’ve got some ready for my TWW but I’m worried about using them now, I don’t think I could cope with the upset of thinking I was pregnant for it to possibly only to an indent 😢 I wonder what’s going on with them, they used to be great tests. I look forward to your update, I hope your line just gets darker and darker! 🤞🏼 Having a lovely time away thank you, been for a nice dinner out and it took my mind off things for a few hours so that was lovely 😊 however I’ve just noticed some more EWCM now so back on the BDing this evening 😂🤞🏼

Sounds like fun, fingers crossed for you then lol! I have been reading more and more rants on the FRER recently too it's so odd!? Annoyed because I brought 2 packs as well and now not sure whether to trust them! I was under the impression they were most reliable until very recently so no idea what's going on there. Might buy some clear blues if there's no line progression when I test Tuesday or just ring the drs - will probably need them to check if it's remaining tissue or new pregnancy anyway regardless. Really hoping for the latter!

@HeyDuddy welcome, hope this is the month for you :)

@Essexnewbie ahh thank you ❤️ when you due to test??

@gvs97 2 cycles before my DD I had a chemical and it was because I was using FRER. I mean if it want for them I wouldn't have known but then also if it want for them I wouldn't have had the upset either because I started bleeding when my period was due. The hospital did find HCG levels but only really low because it was so early.

However, I did then still use them the cycles after that and they have been clear until I was pregnant. It is difficult because I've had indentation lines on blue dye tests too. Feels like a mine field!

Oh gosh that’s terrible. When I was TTC with DS2 I bought some clear blue tests from Amazon and they were fake- they all have a positive result. We know because we tested it on DH’s urine after getting a string of positives and then negatives on other tests. It’s heartbreaking when you get false hope.

@HeyDuddy oh my gosh that's awful! Why would anyone make those?! I'm so sorry that happened to you!

Jumping on this thread hope you don’t mind. I’m 5dpo I have cramps, tender nipples and so fatigue hoping it’s a good sign since I had one miscarriage and 1 ectopic pregnancy. 10 days left till AF. Two is torture!

@WorriedD93 Same as me! My cramps were kind of gone most of the day but now they are back, but they are unlike any cramps I ever had before. It feels like a very dull but mild aching pain, kind of like someone is pulling on my uterus. I really hope it's not gonna go on all week because I will be paranoid about incoming AF the entire time. I keep checking for blood and cervical position.
DH has been kissing my stomach already and is very excited, I don't want him to be disappointed, but I warned him it will probably not happen on the first try.

@gvs97 Yeah I thought FRER were the best tests? I ordered them from England just because I read it here, haha. Took a week to get them! I thought the pink dye ones were supposed to be reliable and the clearblue gives the indents.. oh well.

Hey everyone. Do you mind if I join this thread? I’m currently 6dpo and my husband is no longer listening to my symptom spotting. I feel crampy and hoping this is a good sign but you just never know do you?? Hope everyone is well. Xxx

@HeyDuddy Wow! That is pure evil! I hope you reported them!

It’s so nerve racking isn’t it. Mine feels like I a heavy feeling near my pelvis. It’s a dull feeling but I usually get horrific period pains but not until the day of AF

We did and the response but very underwhelming. I checked the reviews for quite a while after and they were still selling them despite me warning Amazon and reporting them to trading standards. It was a third party seller but the whole thing was a nightmare.

My god @HeyDuddy that is actually disgusting!

@WorriedD93 I just said to a friend maybe I have this every month but I’m just paying more attention this time round? How many dpo are you?
@HeyDuddy we are trying with #3 and as for those tests I just can’t believe it, absolutely dreadful that you had to go through that.

@Billymay I know that’s how I’m thinking I thought my boobs hurt last month but they obviously didn’t because how they are now, I’m only 5dpo. Yourself?

@WorriedD93 I’m 6dpo. This 2ww is long especially when any twinges or feelings you have you think maybe I could be… will you be testing? I’ve bought 4 tests from boots as they gave me a positive after 9dpo last pregnancy.

@Billymay I’ve got cheap tests from Amazon which gave me a BFP on with my ectopic pregnancy on cd27 I also have a clear blue but not going to test until I get positive from cheapies. Maybe test in a week. When are you planning on testing? It’s my boobs making me believe I am, I had this with both pregnancies. Just scary in case it’s another ectopic if I am XX

@WorriedD93 I am so sorry you went through that, the worry never stops does it? Just have to put positivity out to the universe. I lost my mum suddenly in April when my youngest was 6 weeks old so I just feel this one will be a gift sent from her but don’t want to put too much on myself and be upset if it’s not meant to be just yet. I think I’ll leave it till the weekend although I’m going out to a friends 40th so would like to know if I’m the taxi. Xx

These tests are a minefield! sorry to hear people’s negative experiences.

I caved in and tester again FMU this morning. If anything the line looks fainter. That’s put me in a great mood for work! Not sure what to do :( all this waiting is so horrible.

@gvs97 I can see the line though lovely, maybe test in a couple of days? How many dpo are you? Xx
