@J90A My FRER is a little darker than yesterday but I couldn't get a good photo of that thanks to their godforsaken plastic window and my crappy phone camera x__x

I don't temp track no, I go by CM so we dtd when it's egg whites and stop a few days after it turns back to creamy. I get ovulation cramps too so I thought I'd marked the right day as O but obviously not as no AF (historically it's always come 14 days after the O cramps).

I've tasked my husband with getting me a digi today so we'll see what happens tomorrow morning I guess.

J90A · 23/02/2022 09:07

@TheBirdintheCave sounds promising 🤞 yeah a digital will tell you for definite! Although I have heard they are less sensitive not sure if that's true? I've got my fingers crossed for you!! ☘️ xx

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 09:09

@J90A Thanks, I'm a little more optimistic than yesterday but still trying to be rational about it haha :)

J90A · 23/02/2022 09:14

@TheBirdintheCave I know what you mean you try not get your hopes up but it just happens. I swear my period waits until I think I might be pregnant to show 😂 (even though I've done tests With BFN I think I must be as it's late ) 😂 no cycle is ever the same length. Xx

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 09:22

@J90A Our bodies don't make it easy for us do they? I wish everyone's cycle was just 28 days and O day was always 14. Other animals seem to get pregnant so easily haha.

J90A · 23/02/2022 10:42

@TheBirdintheCave I know so true 😂 xx

kizzy97 · 23/02/2022 11:52

Well still no af, did another test and BFN but I have now just started spotting so this could be the start of af for me (never thought I'd actually be happy to see her!) So hopefully March is my month now, DS's birthday this month so maybe that will give me some extra luck 🤞

I can see the line on that @TheBirdintheCave although very faint! Fingers crossed this is it for you 🤞

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 11:56

Thanks @kizzy97 I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight!

Glad it looks like AF will be here for you soon :D

kizzy97 · 23/02/2022 12:04

@TheBirdintheCave I can imagine! I'd be the same! Hoping the day dosen't drag too much for you either!

Brunette1989 · 23/02/2022 13:48

Afternoon ladies,
So sorry some of you have had bad news it is the most draining experience to go through, we all know how it feels. Ive moaned far more to this group then i have my friends as i feel everyone on here realy understands what im going through, and gets the stupid things. I'm due Sunday or Monday, keep pressing my boobs to see if they're sensitive as that's what i had last time when I miscarried but nothing so just waiting for the inevitable i feel. But then I still have a flicker of hope which is really annoying as you then get that horrible wave of disappointment.
Xxx

kizzy97 · 23/02/2022 15:20

@Brunette1989 I understand how you feel there, as do a lot of is I'm sure. The difficulty with symptom spotting is that they say no pregnancy is the same so what you might have had symptom wise with one won't necessarily happen next time! Like my friend said from the get go her boobs killed with her first and it was one of her first signs as she dosen't really get breast tenderness before af but then when she conceived her second she had no breast tenderness whatsoever until about halfway through!

I'm aware this is a bit of a ramble but I suppose it's my very long winded way of saying that you definitely aren't out until af shows! I have everything crossed for your bfp and know that we're here to chat anytime xxx

kizzy97 · 23/02/2022 15:21

AF has officially arrived so back to CD1!

Brunette1989 · 23/02/2022 18:07

@kizzy97 thanks for the message, yeh people have said that it can be different for each pregnancy, just don't feel that positive about it.
Gutted about AF arriving for you 😔 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 23/02/2022 18:17

Saving the digi for tomorrow morning but just did the regular stick that came with it on a four hour hold and got this 😬

@Brunette1989 I know what you mean, each TWW I wait to feel the exact same as when I found out about DS and then I don't and it starts to feel upsetting and frustrating. Hopefully it will happen for us both soon xx

@TheBirdintheCave ooo, that's looking promising!! Good luck for the morning! xx

Bramblecrumble21 · 23/02/2022 19:58

I second kizzy, as I said I didn't really get much early pregnancy symptoms with my first. Just fatigue, but that was well after my pregnancy test. Personally, my af is due tomorrow, after one negative pregnancy test. I have got breast and nipple tenderness which I don't normally get before af. However, I have got head rash on my boobs at the moment. Also, since stopping breastfeeding over a year ago, some periods I have new pms, some nothing at all. So symptom spotting is the devil.

J90A · 23/02/2022 20:01

@Brunette1989 it really is I hope your ok ❤️

@kizzy97 I'm so sorry your AF arrived.

@TheBirdintheCave omg definitely a line on that one!! Xx

TryTheNight · 24/02/2022 06:38

@TheBirdintheCave fingers crossed!!! That line seems pretty noticeable to me.

Sending good vibes to everyone! Still no AF for me and still getting BFNs. My body doesn't like me. Lol.

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 07:01

😬😬

Can’t believe it’s really happened!

@BirdintheCave yay!!! Congrats!

Congratulations @TheBirdintheCave x

J90A · 24/02/2022 08:27

@TheBirdintheCave can I ask how long you ttc?

I had my appt on Tuesday I've been added to the ivf waiting list and givin more clomid although he did say he would've expected me to have a posted by now 🤷‍♀️ xx

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 08:35

@J90A It was three months this time but 15 with my son.

I have a feeling that although my husband has extremely low sperm motility, I was also a factor in our infertility. I never used to get any EWCM which is probably not a problem for most people but in conjunction with lazy swimmers I don't think it wasn't helping. I started taking evening primrose oil and red clover from AF to O three months before we conceived our son and the difference in my CM was HUGE. I thought it might be a coincidence at the time but after this success maybe not?

TheBirdintheCave · 24/02/2022 08:35

Also, thanks everyone :D
