Valentines, pancakes, BFPs etc thread 2

[DancinOnTheCeiling]

Just made a new thread as the other one was filling up...

@MrsSamRowley I can't very clearly see the second line!!!! Eeeekkk!!

@oldermam I'm really sorry to hear this :( hope you are doing some nice things for yourself?

@MrsSamRowley I definitely see it!

@MrsSamRowley Yay! Congratulations :D Very clear positive.

Thanks ladies! Going to do a FRER in the morning to confirm - can't believe it!

9dpo and nothing on an IC for me again. I know I'm not out yet but I'm not feeling particularly hopeful at the moment. I'm cramping slightly so I think AF may come early again this month :/ I have a FRER for tomorrow .

@TheBirdintheCave I've been feeling crampy since yesterday and felt very much like AF coming early so don't count yourself out yet!

@MrsSamRowley Thanks :) It's really hard to keep the faith when it took fifteen months for us to get pregnant last time x__x What cycle number was this for you?

It was only month 2 properly trying with OPKs and everything so I feel very lucky as my periods have been all over the place since I came off the pill and it definitely helped to track and know what was going on!

@QueenBee22 I have no idea, been trying to work out what they test for as I believe clearblue tests differently but I really don't get it. Unless one picked up my levels increasing and the other picked up down. But I did the premom tests the whole 5 days as they're cheaper 🤣 and it wasn't high till 4 days after clearblue was high so I'm really confused. I think they're useful for trying to get a better idea but also rather confusing when like me you're using 2 different ones to cover all bases ha ha.
Going to try and sit down over the weekend and Google alot as I don't want to be using them and it be pointless. I wanted to try the purple method but both this month and next month is impossible due to stag & hen dos taking up the whole weekend I'm good to go. Also difficult with OH working away a couple of nights a week as it always seems to fall perfectly.
Suppose just got to keep trying and pray luck changes. Xxx

@Brunette1989 did you use opk sticks and clearblue tests?

@Brunette1989 thank you I think I am going to try both next month and see if it can give me more information.

I'm 8DPO today and still have a strange crampy feeling, it's almost like AF is coming but I am clockwork and AF isn't due for another 7 days yet. It's like a dull constant ache, it feels heavy like that feeling just before a wave of AF cramps.
Anyone else experienced anything like this? What could it be at DPO? I'm also exhausted (yesterday I fell asleep at 8:45pm!). Am I just being over-hopeful imagining these could be preg symptoms?

@ElleBelleLou I have no answers I'm afraid other than to say it could be because we're paying so much attention to our bodies at the moment that we're noticing every little thing. Have you taken a cheapie today? I normally find that if I take one of those in the morning from 8dpo it helps me cope with the waiting.

@TheBirdintheCave I think I definitely am just over thinking and paying extra attention to every single change in my body. I just took a cheap test today on my lunch break so not FMU and only 8DPO but seeing the BFN has made me stop convincing myself I'm pregnant for the day at least.

Sorry for the TMI here but I've just had very unusal CM like really thick and stringy, that been normal for anyone at this point?

@kizzy97 Yeah I get this in the 2WW. It’s really weird stuff haha.

Congratulations @melbxldn and @MrsSamRowley lovely news!

I'm on CD21 today and almost certain I haven't ovulated yet. Testing with IC OPK's and had some dark lines last weekend but not quite as dark as the test line. Thought I may have just missed the peak as the next couple of days were really faint but then for the last 3 days they've started getting a lot darker again! I ovulated very late when I conceived my first DC so it wouldn't be unusual. AF due 28/02-01/03 roughly so we'll wait and see...

Woke up desperate for a wee at 3.45am so thought I might as well do my FRER!

@MrsSamRowley No denying that! :D

Another blank for me at 10dpo so I guess I’m out. Wish there was something I could take to speed AF up so we can start again.

I was vaguely hopeful this morning as I woke up very hot (which was my only symptom when I was pregnant with my son). I don’t know why we’re trying still to be honest. We were told last time it was very unlikely we’d conceive naturally so just went straight down the IVF road (then our son was a surprise). Feels like I’m just wasting time as we’re not going to get that lucky again.

@MrsSamRowley such a strong line! 🎉

@TheBirdintheCave sorry to hear. This month I'm going to try and wait until the day after my period is due so hopefully less disappointment and not wait too long until af. So next Saturday for me.

So CD 32 and still no af, haven't done another test as of yet, I know I'm not pregnant due to the negative tests I've already had. If it's a 33 day cycle like it was last month af should hit me Monday.

@MrsSamRowley huge congratulations, that's a clear line! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

@kizzy97 I’m with you,
CD33 today…. I’m usually never this long but all negative tests.

As long as she comes tomorrow now I’m happy I have a needed night away 🤣✨🤭

@lottieb92 it's so annoying! Last month I was all excited I was late but then negative tests and af showed up 😭 looks like another 33 dayer again with negative tests so now I'm just wondering what the heck is going on with my cycle!? Normally 28 days like clockwork!

Hope you have a lovely night away!
