Hi everyone.

This month I suffered a terrible bereavement around the time I usually ovulate (cd13/14). We had unprotected sex CD10, but then we were very disengaged in ttc because of the bereavement.

I had fertile signs again from CD18-20 (lots of Egg white mucus) and therefore assumed this to be my ovulation happening late because I usually completely dry up after O. We didn't have sex again at all this month, other than CD10.

I am now on cd23 and yesterday and today have felt very nauseous. I thought I was completely out this month so I hadn't even considered the possibility I might be pregnant. I assumed it to just be grief related, but I just decided to do a quick test out of curiosity and this is it, attached. Can anyone else see something here or am I going mad?

To be honest I still feel so grief stricken, I'm just not sure what to make of this right now. Honest opinions welcomed please.

Yes I can see it!
Sorry to hear of your hard time lately.

PeacefulDreams · 01/11/2021 11:56

I can see something but not sure if it has colour. Does it look pink in real life? It's definitely possible with your normal ovulation time.

Whalewhisperer · 01/11/2021 12:15

It is so hard to tell if it's pink or not as it's so bloody thin! But I swear if I squint, stand on one leg and say hocus pocus before I look, there is a tinge of pink....

I just don't understand the massive (and i mean copious amounts) of fertile CM at CD18 if I did in fact ovulate at the normal time. I usually completely dry up after ovulation.

Thank you for answering.

Yeah I can see a line. Definitely test again in the morning

OooohAhhhh · 01/11/2021 15:16

I know what you mean about being fertile when you don't expect to be. I use an app for my fertility, (worked with 1st child) and now it seems the app is off. When it says I'm apparently fertile I get all the ovulation signs much later. It's v confusing!
But yes I second testing in the morning.

Sexnotgender · 01/11/2021 15:18

I’m so sorry for your loss.

I see a line, fingers crossed for you.

Soulstirring · 01/11/2021 15:24

I see a line too, congrats

Whalewhisperer · 01/11/2021 15:40

@QuentinBunbury @OooohAhhhh @Sexnotgender @Soulstirring thanks so much for commenting. I may wait until AF due, which is in 5 days before testing again. Its a slippery slope for me to becoming an absolute POAS nut job!!

Whalewhisperer · 01/11/2021 15:41

Unless I ovulate late, in which case its due in 10 days! Could be a long wait!

Whalewhisperer · 01/11/2021 15:43

@Sexnotgender thank you, that's very kind. Will take me a while to get over this. If it is a random bfp, at least I know who the baby will be named after. x

I can definitely see something. But extremely faint at this stage, so could be evap etc.

I'd try and wait a few days and then have another go and see what's what.

Hope you get the answer you want!!! X

Firsttimetrier · 01/11/2021 16:27

So sorry to hear about your loss, hope you are doing okay.

I can definitely see a line and didn’t even need to zoom in!

I hope this is a beautiful sign from those who you lost 💕

@OnceUponAThread
@FIrsttimetrier

Thank you so much for your lovely and encouraging comments. I'd be over the moon if it turned into a positive. Have been trying on and off for nearly 3 years. I am not getting my hopes up but the timing would be quite comforting and special! x

@Whalewhisperer best of luck with new test, let us know how you get on. Fingers crossed for you.

I'm currently BFP after a recent MMC, so am that weird mix of very excited but also terrified / anxious. X

Whalewhisperer · 01/11/2021 21:47

@OnceUponAThread congratulations to you on your BFP and also I'm very sorry for you loss. I know a MMC is incredibly painful and makes following BFPs anxiety provoking at times. All the best to you xx

I wonder if your EWCM was the mucus you can get with implantation, the vagina sort of begins to secrete I think due to hormones?

Whalewhisperer · 02/11/2021 05:53

Morning ladies. Yesterday was a tiny thin line that looked like an evap. Today looks to me like a definite not grey shadow. Can you see it?

Said I wouldn't test but I temped this morning and my temp is much higher than normal, about a degree up, so I decided to do so.

Have had chemicals before so I'm not getting excited just yet. Have a couple of Frer's that I'll save until a bit later. I guess if I did O at the normal time I'd only be about 10 dpo, so I should do those in a few days x

@newnameanon19. I guess you could be right! I haven't heard of that before. Thanks!

@Whalewhisperer I can see a line! I hope all goes well.

One of my friends lost their dad and the next day found out she was pregnant. I do genuinely believe the world works in mysterious ways!

Whalewhisperer · 02/11/2021 07:35

Can you?! Great! Thanks for replying. Yes it really does doesn't it x
