Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

[Decaffe]

All welcome to come along for the ride and lots of support along the way!

Checking in at 5dpo, no symptoms yet!

@arianasky do you see the line? I just dont understand. Frer was bfn. But this brand always bfp. My body feels pregnant. I'm walking around holding my lower back. It makes no sense. I think if I get another bfp between now and Monday, I'm going to go to the scan and if they think I'm crazy (starting to think people will think that) then ill get out all my tests.

@Sassy144- good luck, let me know how it goes, I should just go and get a test, I have never been this late before, (on day 2) google says it’s perfectly normal..however I have this mental block that ever time I pee on a stick it’s negative, so I am enjoying the not knowing as I will be so upset if I am not… 🙈

Hello @Hope42022, thanks for your response, I have ordered from Amazon too, they also come tomorrow, I did first response. Technically we can test from today.. should be in for the right result.

Also I don’t discuss much either as I get the same
Answer and it doesn’t help. I speak to my sister, we normally have the star sign and name 5 mins into the conversation, but more recently I have just kept to myself… or the group from today… x

@CJB92 yes I can see the line, it's so strange it might be best to go to the scan to be on the safe side

Hi all, hope you don’t mind me joining!

I’m currently on CD28, af was due yesterday and trying so hard not to get my hopes up, but failing very miserably😬

Last month af was 2 days late and came CD29 so I’m trying to hold out and see what happens, it’s so hard not to grab a test!

Glad to know I’m not alone!x

@arianasky so sorry 💔 do you have any apps on your phone. The easy@home tests are linked to an app called Premom. You can track lh and bbt really easily

@arianasky I use the ovia app. It's free and if I do ever get a bfp they have a pregnancy app too. I like this one as can track symptoms too so you can look back and tell if something really is different too. I had tried flo and natural cycles before that and I liked this one the best.

Thank you both I've gone for OVIA as I tried flo but wasn't a big fan of it

Oh @arianasky I'm so sorry to read this. I had everything crossed for you

@CJB92 I'm so sorry you are going through all this it must be awful. Sending hope you get answers soon.

AF due today (though I think Flo app has it wrong so holding out til tomorrow when I think she will arrive before I can say shes late) I've a few niggling cramps like she's on her way but otherwise nothing and I usually spot for 2 to 3 days before full flow. Had some heavier than normal spotting 2 days ago at 10dpo but really not trying to read into it as don't want to get my hopes up. I've had some clear jelly like discharge today a bit like ewcm but less, which is unusual for this time in my cycle when I'm usually drier than the dessert but my body does like to throw curveballs so I think ill just wait it out

AF has just come. So that rules me out! Good luck everyone else xx

Thank you @Nico89 and good luck 🤞🏻🙏🏻

@Hope42022 I don't chat to DH all that much about the TTC stuff. Obviously we are both on the same page that we want another and are actively having unprotected sex. But I don't mention when I ovulate (he kinda knows I test but not in details) because I don't want him to think I'm only having sex to get pregnant ... and have to almost try to time it because of the medication he's on he struggles to come every time / day. So I try to pounce every few days and hold for the best.

As far as the 2WW goes, he has no idea 😂 I'm sat here now a few days PO having just sorted some pregnancy vitamins from last time and chucked ones out of date etc. And cannot stop thinking about it!!!

We talked last night about the "baby stage" and also a bit about my last 2 months chemicals. He had been listening to a podcast about the covid vaccines / female cycles / discussion around vaccinating children and fertility etc. So all this is talked about but I can't get into details with him about how I just sit and wonder.

I literally sit and imagine if an egg is being fertilised / where it is in the process / when it might implant etc. Can't stop myself!

Thank you everyone for your support.
Ttc journey can be confusing at times. I'll keep updated with any changes. Right now I'm in so much pain with my lower back. I just went to the shop and thought I was gonna die just packing the bags 😂 hoping we all get our bfps soon!

I now feel crazy since the one bit of white cm with a tinge of red in it I haven't bled at all not even when wiping 😭 I just want it to get over with 😞

So sorry for your loss @arianasky . For those who've experienced miscarriages or chemicals, is there some form of support in the UK? I work in pregnancy loss but I'm Canadian and we dont offer international care. (I just much prefer this forum ... )

I'm feeling lots of cramping today. I am so confused , I must not have ovulated when I thought. I had EWCM on the first, and high LH, and we DTD , so maybe that's when I ovulated? Even tho my temp rose on the 21st ... Ughhhh still bfn and no AF (5 days late, CD 37 of 31 day cycle). Kind of resolved to AF coming eventually ... But feeling cramps today and no blood ... Why can't I be normal ! 🙃

@arianasky sorry lovely. Totally valid feelings stay cosy and look after yourself 🤍✨ when you’re ready for the next go we will all be here! X

I’m thinking I might be testing earlier than I first thought! I’m already 1 DPO … not that exciting I know. But it’s better than waiting until the 20th this time!! I may feel up to it around the 16th/17th if I have symptoms, I’ll update the chart when I have got my head around it and see how I feel.

How’s everyone else feeling? I’m back to work so managing to stay occupied with that during this TWW I hope. Best of luck testers this week ❤️

Hey @lottieb92 I am also 1 dpo and still doing the deed incase if I’m ovulating late. I keep an eye on cm to see if I’m ovulating I use the app flo and when it says I’m ovulating it’s usually 2 days after I get cm (sorry if it’s tmi) I haven’t had any CM today so hopefully tomorrow will do the deed again for higher chances so this month I really hope I get a BFP!! Good luck

@arianasky sending virtual hugs and hopes for a quick healing process for you. Is there a doctor you can see if you have had multiple MCs? Wondering in case there is a low progesterone issue or something that you are unaware of. I really hope 2022 is your year, you deserve some real luck after what you have been put through x

@CJB92 Hoping you are ok! I not so secretly want you to go for your scan just so that they can defnititively see something/not. What a weird situation!

@madeleine85 I want to go to my scan too, but don't want the midwives to think I'm nuts if there's nothing there. Although scared of disappointment when being in a pregnancy unit. But I think its needed if I get anymore positive tests. Sending love and baby dust to you!

Sending virtual hugs to all those in limbo or with losses. It's not easy this TTC

So I am 8 DPO and feeling very crampy. AF not due for another 5 days. Would you guys test tomorrow morning 9 DPO? Or should I try and wait. I am really struggling!!

Aww I hate the waiting game too but at 9dpo is still early to test as hcg aren’t that high. You might have a false negative and then would want to keep testing! I say this to myself every month and still end up testing early but from this month until 13 dpo I won’t be testing!! lol good luck @MyloC

Thank you all 💕 I'm not going to see the Dr's quite yet my MMC was a partial molar pregnancy so I know the reason for that, this chemical obviously I'm not 100 percent sure I'll just see how the next few cycles go and go from there ❤️

@Mummy202102 I know you are so right! I just went over to see my neighbour to borrow something and she just told me she's pregnant. So so happy for her but made the urge to test even harder!

I'm currently sitting eating a whole pineapple! Only 6dpo 😩

I couldn't resist and tested this afternoon, only 7dpo so obviously a BFN, hoping that will quiet my urges until I'm due af on Sunday. Have cramps and feeling a bit sick this evening though, I hope I'm not imagining it 🙈
