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!

Hi all,

I'm spotting so I am definitely out. I think I'm going to go away and try to sort out my luteal phase defect and then I'll come back and see you all (although hopefully you'll all be on the pregnancy chat by then!)

Good luck everyone! X

@miamom my first sign with my only pregnancy thus far was the worst sore nipples ever, even the wind hurt them! I can’t say what DPO though but defo super early week of testing! (PS I didn’t last long maybe 2 weeks.. then I got morning sickness but that’s another story)

Something to make you laugh… I sat down for a cup of tea after work… sighed SO hard and got cross that I’m only 5DPO, opened PreMom App to pass the time (nothing ever changes during this TWW). Realised I’m 6DPO! A small but mighty win… husband found me and asked why I looked so happy hahah! What happens to us during this time??

I think I’ll be testing this weekend now 17th will be 3 days before predicted AF! I’ll update the chart as it swings back to the thread ✨🥰 good luck all testing over next 48hrs

@miamom currently pregnant with my second (if it is still in there) and I had extremely sensitive nipples 7-9 DPO then BFP 10 DPO. It felt exactly like the "let down" feeling at the start of breastfeeding. Your's sounds very promising. Good luck!

@AlmostLondoner aww lovely I had mine at 7w2days with my angel baby and heartbeat was visible and no need for internal scan so hopefully the same for you 🤞🏻

@TheBirdintheCave thank you 😊

Oh ffs, I was so sure I'd ovulated yesterday - no CM, cervix closed... just checked and one bit of stringy CM and cervix feeling open again. Argh!

Convinced that if I don't have a perfect cycle, it won't happen, so already writing this one off. Will try to summon the stamina to DTD tomorrow, can't face it tonight.

@Shortmamashortcycles arghhh same!! I was sure I ovulated this weekend but today got more EWCM and a strong positive on OPK - maybe my body was trying to ovulate Sat but didn't. So I thought I was 2DPO but I actually might not be.

Can't inseminate again until next month now but at least we did it on 3 days during my fertile window Definitely DTD again if you can!

Heya
I believe I am 9-10 DPO and I just did a cheap test! Does anyone else see a faint line? I did use these tests for my previous pregnancies and they was accurate.

Which early tests are best First Response or Clear Blue?
I had 2 miscarriages last year so I am terrified☹️

Checking in at 10 DPO stark white FRER, and temp this morning dipped some. AF should be here Wednesday, so I won't be surprised if I'm out this month....gutted, but I am glad I let myself down slowly I guess. But as they say, not out till AF shows but not holding my breath.

I see the lines! Fx for you! I would be a first-time mama, but from what I read, First response seems to be favored amount the board, though they are really bad with indents.

Gosh I'm so frustrated and confused right now!

Im what I believe to be 6/7 DPO and I've just gone to toilet to find out I'm bleeding slightly 😣

I ovulated really late this month CD18 (which I believe is either from my booster or having covid) but I used to be like clockwork. I'm on cycle 3 TTC #2 and since I've started tracking my ovulation it seems to have completely screwed up! 😩

But regardless to all that above surely getting your period at 6/7DPO means something isn't right?!

I've attached a picture of my OPK's which shows my peak at CD18.

I do see faint lines, these tests are so unreliable, they give some many evap lines or false positives. I myself had a blazing positive last Feb, very pink and very there, First Response was totally negative. In august it had another faint line, was great tho and not real x

Was grey, I meant x

I'm 11dpo (I think) going from the day after positive opk test. Have had the odd twinge for the last 3 days. Anyone know what this could be? Not planning on testing until Wednesday if af doesn't arrive.
When I say twinge is like a prickly/throb feeling. Todays was really really low down to the right. If someone can help me I would appreciate it?

Also had a shooting pain on my right boob there but was gone in couple of seconds

I def see a line! Hope it progresses for you!! X

Hi everyone.

I've been off here for a couple days, just taking a step back to wrap my head around things. Today I got the bfp that I've uploaded. Today I also had the scan booked which would of been my 6 week scan. I was so scared going in there, knowing in my heart I was going to come out with tears in my eyes. The Nurse specialist was so lovely. She took my bloods because she scanned me and couldn't find anything, she just said my endometrium was full but she couldn't see anything, she did an internal also and couldn't see anything. She called me just now to confirm my blood hcg came back as not pregnant. In the pit of my stomach I knew from the bleeding I had, there surely wouldn't have been anything there after. But faint bfps kept me hoping.

The good thing to come from this is she told me to get myself referred to them instead of the hospital I was with last time so I can be seen by the recurrent miscarriage clinic And they will investigate . After 5 years ttc, that's the quickest anyone has offered help! A long journey not yet over but a step has been taken!

Hope you are all okay, sorry for the long post. It's been a bit crazed. Fx for you all for your bfps! I need to catch up on the thread now x

I am so sorry to hear this. Hoping things get better for you this year.

Lots of love @CJB92 this journey can be so cruel 💔 💕

Sending lots of love @CJB92 ❤️ I'm so sorry to hear ur news xxx

Thank you ❤
In one moment I am ready to start again, move forward with the journey and the next I am filled with sadness, and crying.
Takes time to heal, I guess.

@Bubblegum093 tested again today with a frer that got delivered and BFN. Have had to give my tests to my other half to hide - it's getting so unhealthy for me testing all the time 🙈! If you test tomorrow let us know how you get on 🤞🏻. Nah I get u I do the same but secretly wishing I defo am! Hopefully I won't be writing back until 12dpo when my Oh releases one of my hidden tests 😅😂 x

@CJB92 I am so sorry for all of the pain, but I am so incredibly glad that you went to the scan and now that you have a route forward to getting future help!

@AlmostLondoner great line progression!!

@EmLouisexx I see that line! Fingers crossed for stronger ones coming. I found the cheap small strip tests the most reliable as they act on the weaker testing level and I could really see line progression. CB has a clear indent when I bought it before I even used it, and 1/2 the pack didn't work. The FRER worked for me following the instructions and checking within the time limit. Good luck! Sorry I should clarify, the CB test with the + blue sign gave me indents and bad results, the pregnant or not pregnant one was reliable.

Hope everyone is doing well, whether AF, FW or 2WW.

@Geemmm I know how you feel I had to stop myself testing twice in one day even though I know its too early 🙈🙈

@arianasky ❤️❤️ I wish you all the luck 🌈🌈🌈
