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!

@Maddylee hello, i too found the ovulation strips useful for a couple of cycles as i now know when i ovulate so i don’t need to really use them any more as my cycle length is always the same. However, with irregular cycles, illness, stress, coming off the pill etc they are even more useful. I recommend the premom app it is free and you have your tests saved there and ratio worked out for you. I would take the photo in the same spot each day(same lighting). I tested early afternoon. Good luck!
@Hopingforarainbow27 have you resisted testing? I haven’t and BFN only 7DPO, silly but it is just an automatic response i can’t seem to help myself.

Stark white 10dpo. AF due Thursday. Fairly sure I'm out. Gets more disappointing each cycle 😪

@CSR721 I’m 11DPO and stark white negative too, I can also feel AF brewing 😢. The only thing I don’t understand is my boobs aren’t hurting and they are usually so uncomfortable at this point before AF. Still, the AF cramps outweigh the hope of a BFP.
I’m up early as I’m waiting for my friend to drop off her toddler as she’s going for a c section this morning. I’m so excited for them but also feel a little sad x

@Curlywurly3 I know how you feel we have so many friends around us who are pregnant or just had babies. We're so happy for them but I find it so difficult too!

I think I'll try the cup next cycle if this cycle gives me a BFN. Am really trying to resist the urge to POAS at 8/9 days PO today. Urgh. There's no point is there?

I just tested today at 9dpo big negative

@RosyappleA no I haven't tested yet as I'm sure I'm out

Well, just catching up, off work now till Thursday, but now I'm off it's all I can think about and now having to resist the urge to poas! I promised myself I'm not doing it to myself to test early now!

Having a negative and down moment atm where I'm adamant I'm out (haven't really got any reason to believe that atm) I always tend to get like this towards the end of the tww though

@Maddylee I've used ovulation strips and they have been really good for me. I got the cheap ones off Amazon and tested at 10am+3pm everyday from CD9.
I didn't get pregnant for months and the first month using them I got my BFP.
I never got 2 super strong line that most people get on ovulation test so i guessed my ovulation day from the line progression.

So I'm only CD7 stopped bleeding Saturday but since last night I've had strong twinges on my right side that feel like ovulation pains? It's so early I normally ovulate CD13/15. I did the clearblue ovulation test and got a empty circle which I expected this morning but I'm just wondering does anyone have this pain earlier than ovulation? I always get empty circles then one smiley never flashing, and I'm thinking maybe because of the chemical I may ovulate even sooner not sure if that's even a thing? Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this at all? Thank you

Thanks for the advice on which test to buy. Unfortunately none of the supermarkets in my town had first response tests last night so I grabbed a Clear Blue.
I was desperate to test after the faint line on a cheap test yesterday! BFP on this test. Also another positive on a cheap test.
Hopefully I will finally get my rainbow baby🤞🏻
Good luck everyone and I hope you get a BFP soon x

@EmLouisexx congratulations 🌈

@EmLouisexx wow that’s such great news! Congratulations 🥰 How many dpo are you? Also any symptoms and how many times did you dtd in your fertile window? Sorry for all the questions 🙈 xxx

Congratulations @EmLouisexx 🎉🎉

@EmLouisexx congratulations! Xxx

@kizzy97 @mightbeyesmightbeno I remember you from December. Told myself I’d stay off here this cycle but here we are haha. 5dpo and only managed O day due to illness. How are you both

@EmLouisexx ah congratulations, that’s a lovely line!

@melbxldn it's always easier said then done isn't it? 😂 I'm okay AF due Friday so trying to hold off testing until then if she dosen't turn up!

Not dtd this month as much as the last couple of months but have managed enough. I'm 12 dpo according to my app but if I ovulated when I'm sure I did then I'm actually 15dpo today. But as usual with the end of the tww approaching my confidence is faltering and I'm feeling low again...

How have you been doing? Hopefully you've still managed it!

@EmLouisexx huge congratulations to you, that's a great line!

Congrats @EmLouisexx 🌈- how many DPO are you? It's a really nice line xx

Ok girls this was the test that was messing my head last night 8dpo

@jazmine38 sorry I can't see anything ☹️

@jazmine38 I can see a faint line but it looks grey in picture is it pink in real life? Maybe try another 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@Hopingforarainbow27 I think I stared way too much😅 Will take another tomorrow. Thanks though x

@EmLouisexx that’s wonderful news! Xx
