@hellonope I'll try my hardest but I'm a POAS addict 🙈

arianasky · 29/12/2021 18:42

@BiscuitLover3678 haha! They're also quite addictive 😂🙈

Hopingforarainbow27 · 29/12/2021 18:51

@arianasky it looks positive and the fact it came up within the time frame!? Can you get evap lines within the timeframe? I'm not too sure but it looks promising!

@arianasky when did you get positive opk and when did you dtd this time?

@Hopingforarainbow27 I'm not too sure if you can with EVAP or indents tbh but you never know? I got my static smiley on CD13 and DTD CD10 CD11 and CD13 we did DTD CD14 aswell but DP didn't finish he felt too much pressure sorry if TMI. So hopefully that was enough

Nervousdave · 29/12/2021 19:00

Guys it's still December, how is there 25 pages of a January thread already 🤣

Hopingforarainbow27 · 29/12/2021 19:08

@arianasky I think it has worked for you! I hope so. I got my positive opk today. We dtd this morning and the day before yesterday and hopefully tomorrow as well! @Nervousdave I know!!!!!! Are we all insane 😂 just a bunch of hopeful ladies!

Hi everyone xx
I'm 6dpo. I had a MMC in October at 8 weeks and had a D&C 8th November. Tested negative 2nd December and have been trying without having a period in between. Positive OPK on 22nd December with lots of BD 🤞🏻 feeling nervous but excited. I almost don't want to test.. does anyone else feel like this?

arianasky · 29/12/2021 19:18

@Hopingforarainbow27 I really hope so 🤞🏻ah good luck sending baby dust and luck to you 💕

arianasky · 29/12/2021 19:19

@aesgriff I'm soo sorry about your MMC 💕 I do understand I had MMC and D and C in October and the nerves for testing are crazy I really hope we get our rainbows soon 💕

aesgriff · 29/12/2021 19:25

@arianasky me too! Praying for our rainbows 🌈 your tests are looking hopeful though 🤞🏻

Bringonbaby3 · 29/12/2021 19:34

Hello again!

I haven’t posted for a while due to Xmas and then my husband took me away for a trip night before last :) Currently in fertile week, got an almost positive ovulation strip on waking but then negative this afternoon so wondering whether I ovulated slightly earlier this month, wish I had tested yesterday too!

@arianasky the test looks positive to me! Fingers crossed it progresses.

Sorry I’ve missed out on a lot of posts, will try and catch up!

arianasky · 29/12/2021 19:35

@aesgriff I hope we do too 🙏🏻 @Bringonbaby3 I hope so 🤞🏻

kizzy97 · 29/12/2021 19:37

Just had a dragging feeling in my lower abdomen, really intense where I've had to sit down for a minute and lower backache. Would be going crazy with symptom spotting but I'm not 100% sure if I've even O'ved yet. Apps predicted me for tomorrow

RosyappleA · 29/12/2021 19:40

@slmanc welcome, i joined too for the same reasons as no-one else knows we are trying and having read 100 ancient ttc threads it was about time!

@Nico89 sorry to hear that. My cycle is never early i didn't have the actual vaccine but did have covid this month so maybe it had an effect who knows

Nico89 · 29/12/2021 20:02

@madeleine85 I promised I wasn't going to symptom spot at all this cycle and had a weirdly positive feeling... but this has thrown a real spanner in the works. I'm just going to let the next few days pan out and see what progresses. We have plans fortunately to keep my mind occupied Smile

@RosyappleA I had covid in Feb, and then my first 2 jabs over this year all with no ill effect or change to my cycle at all. So it could be completely unrelated, the only difference this time is that I had the pfizer/bioNtec vaccine booster whereas for my first 2 I had astra zeneca as I had it in early roll out as clinically vulnerable.

madeleine85 · 29/12/2021 20:08

@Nico89 good luck, and enjoy keeping busy, you definitely have the right mindset!

claremc1983 · 29/12/2021 21:04

@arianasky just seen your latest tests. Still looking good to me! Remember it's still super early days if your only 9DPO or so...have you got a few of the same tests you can have a go with? I always used to get better lines on an aft/eve than with FMU as well x

arianasky · 29/12/2021 21:06

@claremc1983 I hope so 🤞🏻🙏🏻 well I've got more FRER and I have some one step cheapies so I'll try those tomorrow, I only had one clearblue but I have some digital ones here aswell but I know it's too early for those, hoping there's a line tomorrow aswell

Tryingforthefirst · 29/12/2021 21:08

Been so busy that I’ve missed out on lots of messages. Started with mild cramps on and off throughout today and been v tired… currently 11dpo with AF due either Fri or Sat. Has anyone ever had BFP despite cramps? Or do the cramps just mean AF is coming?
Did a test yesterday and spotted the faintest line but it was colourless. It appeared within 5mins and wasn’t sure if could get an evap that soon? Resisted the urge to test again today but don’t know if to do one tomorrow or just wait until Friday and see if AF comes

madeleine85 · 29/12/2021 21:16

@Tryingforthefirst that sounds so promising! When I just got my BFP last week I cramped 3-7 DPO, then nothing, and then the day before AF- the day after AF due date I cramped like hell, but no period. Apparently your body knows there is a foreign body in there so it turns into a bit of a battle while it tries to cast it out at first... ah pregnancy, then you get more cramping while things start to move around internally/expand. I would say my 10 DPO line was faint and colourless, the 11 DPO one was faint and light pink, then darker and more coloured as days have been going on. let us know how you do x

Tryingforthefirst · 29/12/2021 21:21

@madeleine85 Oh I really hope it is, think I’ll definitely do a test tomorrow and see if there’s anything showing up. For some reason I’ve ordered loads of different tests this past week for the first time - I’m hoping it’s my body knowing something is going on and that I’ll need them haha

storkstalk · 29/12/2021 22:31

Hi hoping I may please join. CD 3 of cycle #6.

I’ve been a bit down over Christmas as I was so sure we’d finish the year knowing I was pregnant and unfortunately it didn’t happen. Have had a shitty year with work too and needed some good news overall so not great. Hoping 2022 is my year!

madeleine85 · 29/12/2021 23:13

@Tryingforthefirst fingers crossed for you!! Let us know how you get on x
