I’m almost 100% convinced I’m out now!

Really really hoping a December baby is the one. Anyone else?

I think I’m the opposite! Or maybe it’s just the mental relief of not having to worry about it, especially with me knowing there is such little chance this month.

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 11:10

@Charl881 you know the way you tested on a digital last month? Was it an early response one?

That’s probably a better way to be! Who thinks they will be early testing? I sort of can’t be bothered anymore. Pretty sure I will do one anyway this weekend though!

@BiscuitLover3678 I did yesterday at 8dpo negative so I might give tomorrow another go. I'm working Easter weekend and want to know before that. I'm so hopeless at not testing early 🄲

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 14:06

I'll upload it now. @BiscuitLover3678 like a mini indent and I swore I wouldn't do this early testing šŸ˜‚

Apparently there's an offer on FRER on Amazon xx

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 14:54

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 15:16

@MrsGrealish - yes thank you ! x

Bubblesandballoons · 13/04/2022 15:36

Just checking in, waiting on af to start trying again.
@MrsGrealish fingers crossed it’s the start of something for you šŸ¤žšŸ».
@BiscuitLover3678 yeah 10 days of flashing smileys, we were definitely glad to be out of the fertile window that cycle šŸ˜‚.
@Charl881 how’s it going? Sounds like there’s a chance you could of caught the start of your fertile window. You think you’ll test to check or wait it out?

Charl881 · 13/04/2022 20:37

@MrsGrealish that definitely looks like the start of a line to me. How many dpo are you? It’s so bloody difficult to tell with FRERs though isn’t it. I defo thought mine was an indent last month, took a few days to turn properly pink although whether that was because it was a chemical.

@Bubblesandballoons yeah I think we must have DTD either four or five days before ovulation so a small chance, I would love to say I’m not gonna bother testing but I know I will! Gonna try and hold out as close as possible to when AF is due though so I don’t spend a small fortune on tests when I know it’s a low chance. Already have some FRERs left over from last cycle.

MrsGrealish · 13/04/2022 20:53

@Charl881 absolute hateful tests! 9dpo today. And loving every minute😩

Bubblesandballoons · 13/04/2022 21:54

@Charl881 I’m tempted to test and I have no chance of even being pregnant.. missing poas šŸ¤ŖšŸ˜‚

Charl881 · 14/04/2022 07:21

@Bubblesandballoons it’s crazy isn’t it. I hate the TWW but actually miss being in it properly this time.

Annoyingly I think I had ovulation cramps last night and my boobs are sorer today than they were yesterday so I’m wondering if I actually ovulated yesterday rather than Tuesday, which would definitely put me out for this cycle.

Good luck this morning if you’re testing @MrsGrealish!

BiscuitLover3678 · 14/04/2022 07:57

I may be 8dpo today or 7dpo (actually hoping it’s 7 as that will have given me a better chance rich when we DTD!)

Hoping I can wait until tomorrow to test argh

Hi ladies, I’m in the same shitty boat of the dreaded tww. I would be due on Christmas Day 25th (šŸ˜‚). This is #1.

I’m working from home and getting so distracted! Well less than 5% of babies come on due date so you’ll probably be alright for a Christmas baby! šŸ˜‚ good luck!

10dpo and a digital says bfn. Crampy and won't be testing again if by some miracle period is late. Nothing like a digital to bring u down to earth with a thud xx

Ugh I HATE the digital one. I hope you’re ok and have a few days to see if anything has changed.

Olivia88 · 14/04/2022 17:57

Can I jump in on this thread? First time posting anything! We've been ttc for two years, seriously about 1 (no other children) and I'm tracking and pretty sure my ovulation date was 20 March...well in the stress of moving house I completely forgot about my tww and just realised last night AF is late.

So I took two tests last night and got some lines - BUT I'm cramping so badly I'm worried it's just chemical or I've done something wrong. I'm in a lot of pain and have been for a few days so I think I'm just looking for reassurance or something

Charl881 · 14/04/2022 21:25

@MrsGrealish I would expect a digital to show positive until at least the day AF is due to fingers crossed you’re still in with a chance! When is it you’re due on? I’m so frustrated in your behalf, sure I saw a faint line on the other one.

@Olivia88 congratulations! Apparently cramps can be really normal in the early stages of your pregnancy, something about the uterus adjusting. But definitely worth contacting your early pregnancy unit with any concerns. There are some December due date threads over on the birth clubs area, might help to talk to others with similar concerns / anxieties. Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

MrsGrealish · 14/04/2022 21:43

@Charl881 hey lovely,! I'm ok xx I didn't realise the threshold was 25 iu so doing the final FRER on Sunday AF due on Monday. I did a super dark OPK earlier so either AF due soon or it's positive šŸ™. but at least somethings going on Xx I'm soo bloated it's unreal

darlingqueen · 14/04/2022 21:47

Hey girls! I hope it's okay to jump in! This cycle is driving me crazy, and I could really use some conversation! We've been TTC since September. All my cycles were 28-30 and then last month I got a 32 which threw off all my numbers and I feel so much less confident with where ovulation is this month!
I had cramping on the 5th (CD16) and then left based cramping on the 9th (CD20) had another episode of cramps on the 12th (CD23) and have had sore AF breasts/nipples since yesterday...so I broke down and tested last night and of course it was negative haha
I don't use opks or any other method except tracking cramps because that USUALLY tells me when I ovulate, and this month they broke up into sections so I have no clue! We DTD every day or every other day from CD12 until now, so I got good coverage for this cycle, so now to just wait it out, but I have no clue how much longer I'm waiting!

With that limited information how would you girls interpret my cycle and where I might be? And when I should test again?!

TIA!

MrsGrealish · 14/04/2022 21:56

@darlingqueen hi, you defo didn't need to use OPKs to track if you DTD every other day since day 12!
My advice is test every couple of days now easier said than done I know so maybe test again on Saturday? But use an FRER something really sensitive and good luck xx
