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!

@Nico89 @muddypuddlejumping if you think that you're weird then to hell with it cos I've openly shared my spotting and bowel habits with anyone who's mentioned it 🤣

@AmberRH1993 new thread remembering coz we were nearly cycle buddies last month

@muddypuddlejumping are you going to test again tomorrow? You girls are keeping me going until test day lol

Just wondering if anyone has tried the clearblue digital that are ultra early detection at 6 days before missed period? Sensitivity is supposedly 10miu. Anyones experiences with them in terms of when they picked up bfp?

Welcome @HMFx 🤩

@CJB92 yes, tried them at 10 and 11dpo for this cycle. BFN. AF due 14dpo.
Tested positive on first pregnancy (ended in MMC) on 15dpo but probably would have showed earlier had I of found the courage to test.

@CJB92 no sorry I haven't used them that early as I'm too scared to see a bfp then tell myself it's too early etc and give myself hope lol

Bfn I meant

@arianasky sorry to hear your doubts! I hope it's not a CP and is a sticky one. Do you plan on getting bloods done? x

So I’m still waiting for AF to show. I ovulated around 14 December. I still have all of the symptoms (sore/large boobs, fatigue, sticky CM) but AF is now a week late. I’ve been getting AWFUL heartburn and indigestion. I tried a glass of wine (because ya know, not seen the two lines) and it gave me wicked heartburn and nausea. I’ve had some of these symptoms since the random spotting started about two weeks ago. The sore boobs and horrible indigestion and heartburn started a week ago. Loads of abdominal pressure and bloating. I’ve been avoiding most meat but especially chicken. It just looks rank to me.

I think I’ll do another test on Friday or Saturday morning. I swear I’m being patient but I can’t handle it if I see it’s negative again. I told myself I’d try to wait until I’m actually vomiting but I never vomited with my DD.

@DeviousImp17 when did u test last and what test did u use?

I used a CB test last Thursday. It wasn’t FMU, in fact there was very little urine for the test. My symptoms have escalated since that test.

@DeviousImp17 how have you not tested since then! Well done for refraining! Why don't you take one in the morning? Your symptoms all sound v promising

Just in case the spotting and cramping around 6DPO was something other than implantation (like ovulation) and I actually ovulated a week later than I thought. If so, I’d be due some time this week and should know by Wednesday. So then if AF still hasn’t appeared then I’ll take a test either Friday or Saturday.

@DeviousImp17 keep us posted! I have to wait until the 12th to test and I know it will be so hard! I hope it's good news for you by the weekend 🤍

Ah found you all! So much to catch up on, I'll have a read through when I get a minute. I posted on the last thread just before it got full so not sure it was read!

I am now on official cycle 3 of ttc no 2 after a few months of 'seeing how it goes' before that. I'm trying @Purple29 s method so far, on cd 14 and just made poor dh dtd this eve even though we are both exhausted from packing the house up the last two days ready for builders! I'm guestimating O day will be Thursday or Friday but always hard to tell with my unpredictable cycles. Am trying opks too but everything is going to be much more tricky now we're going to be staying with my parents for a few weeks!

Has anyone else ever had to dtd at at friend/family house in the fw? I generally avoid it while there but thinking I might have to try for the sake of ttc!!

Oh phew I thought something had happened to the January thread 😂!

@arianasky my fingers are so tightly crossed for you. Hopefully you can get in for bloods and see what's going on.

@DeviousImp17 you have the patience of a Saint honestly, I can barely make it to 6dpo without testing. I wish I was more like you!

Does anyone know how long it takes for sperm to replenish? I said I was going to try purples method but we ended up dtd twice within about 10 hours and I'm wondering if it's messed things up, because now when we dtd again tomorrow it won't have been as long between? I don't know if I'm stressing over nothing but I just want the best and strongest sperm possible!

I've had ewcm today so I know it's close. I wasn't going to but I might take an ov test tomorrow just to see where I'm at.

@Hopingforarainbow27 part of me wants to wait but the poas urge is probably greater! My only test is 20 miu though so not very sensitive. I'll be 12dpo but af should have been 10dpo.
I have an odd fullness feeling and can feel things but not cramping so really don't know. I get really heavy af and strong painful cramping so af is always impossible to miss! Currently sat up with my 2 year old desperate for a wee but must hold til morning...😬

@Hopingforarainbow27 yes I will test on the 4th but I’m in the States so it will be a day later than you think!

@arianasky you have all my love and best wishes

Still confusion today. Even fainter line on the co-op test and faint but there on tesco test and vvf line on conceive plus test. But not as strong as yesterday. My back is absolutely killing me. I've got a phone appointment with doctor this morning. Despite the tests this morning yesterdays were really strong and I need them to check out what's going on.

Lots of luck to those testing today which I'm sure is all of us 😂

Thank you ladies I'm not holding out much hope though, the FRER was really faint this morning the clearblue was a little darker than yesterday, I'm not bleeding yet just sore breasts and weird tugging feeling by abdomen but I don't feel hopeful, drs ringing me back in a bit 😔

@CJB92 sounds like you are going through a similar thing to me, have the drs shed any light on it yet? Do you have a feeling what might be happening?

Checking in! This thread is moving so fast - congrats to those that have gotten their BFP already. Sorry for those still in limbo.

Clue app says that ovulation day is Friday, but going to try using the test strips all week to see if that's accurate as my cycle isn't super regular.

Not sure why I've placed so much hope on it working this cycle...but got everything crossed

@arianasky
I'm not sure, because I had bfp on 27th and 28th, I then started bleeding really bad, so thought chemical. Bloods on 30th said hcg was below 1! Yet I was still getting bfps. Although they were faint, but not changing. I stopped bleeding last night, but I've had awful back pains, and today I have some twinges in my stomach and slight cramping. Not like I was when I bled though. I thought I had a chemical but im getting bfps. But doesn't explain why bloods didn't pick that up. Waiting for Dr to call me back this morning. Expecting more bloods. Just worried it may be ectopic...my bfps go from vvf to faint but stronger then back to vvf you can barely see, to being stronger again. And my ovulation test this morning was almost positive but not quite. Makes no sense!

So honestly yesterday I had hope, but frer today was negative but other tests bfp but fainter than yesterday. Hoping not ectopic. Idk what else it is!
Hope you get some answers soon too! Fx for you. Are your lines stronger today? X
