Keeping my fingers crossed for you @honeylemon29!!😀 is there any pink to the line?
I'm 12DPO, just tested and bfn on a FRER, so thinking I'm definitely out this month, would've had a squinter by now😬

speake · 02/03/2022 07:22

@HoneyLemon29 keeping my fingers crossed for you, my line was super super faint until 11 dpo so it definitely could be! Xxx

mrsmw132 · 02/03/2022 07:43

Morning ladies,
Just caught up on all that has been going on the last few days. My fingers are crossed for those who are pregnant, and I know the anxiety of it all must be so hard.

I'm 6dpo today and all day yesterday I just kept bursting into tears 😭
Random things, sad images on Facebook, delight for a couple I follow on Instagram who are pregnant after a loss at the same time as us. Advert on the telly was the best one.
I'm not getting hopes up, but I do feel that hormones are running wilds 😂

Anyone else get this?

SillySquirrel · 02/03/2022 08:12

@mrsmw132 I feel the exact same way as you! I think I am also roughly 6/7dpo and I stupidly did a test yesterday which of course was negative. I then spent the rest of the evening crying and beating myself up. So you’re not alone!

Pearl93 · 02/03/2022 08:14

@mrsmw132 I've been exactly the same. Been really emotional and crying over the last few days. I'm 11DPO but I've woken up really bloated and with awful cramps this morning so not sure if AF is just on the way. Going to test tomorrow morning and see 🤞🏼

HoneyLemon29 · 02/03/2022 08:16

We have yesterdays test at the top and todays below. Faint colourless line. All in timescale. 8DPO and still cramping and spotting light pink when I wipe 🥴
So nervous 😵‍💫😵‍💫

@Bridgey8 I'm glad the bleeding has eased, how are you today?

@HoneyLemon29 tentative congratulations 🎉 I can see that line easily it's a good line for 8dpo ❤️

Ganesh2022 · 02/03/2022 08:48

@HoneyLemon29 I see it!!

Skl2021 · 02/03/2022 09:15

@HoneyLemon29 I can definitely see it too 🙏🏼🤍

Bundaberg84 · 02/03/2022 09:19

I wrote down Purple's method for this cycle, what date we would have to DTD to follow that plan. And interestingly enough, we managed to do exactly that, without "forcing". Let's see how that cycle goes.
If AF shows up, I'm going to do all the tests the clinic suggested to do. I'll have to call them on day 1, so they can book me for day 3, day 14 and day 21 tests. DH will bring is samples this Friday.

@Bridgey8 and @aesgriff thinking of you! I hope you are alright, all things considered!

@Skl2021 how are you?

HoneyLemon29 · 02/03/2022 09:19

Thank you everyone. I'll test again in the morning see if it darkens. I am still spotting when I wipe, light pink which makes me so nervous.
I should get my progesterone results back tomorrow to see how that's going x

arianasky · 02/03/2022 09:25

@Skl2021 still a flashing smiley today but the lines on the stick are as dark as each other so guessing I'll get peak later today/tomorrow, the same on a one step cheapie lines are as dark as each other also got quite a bit of cramping on right side this morning and had EWCM. I didn't manage to DTD last night as DP had a incident at work and had to stay there until late so I'll have to DTD tonight and tomorrow now 😂 hopefully he'll be ok with that 😂🙏🏻

Bridgey8 · 02/03/2022 09:28

Thanks everyone. I'm not great... had some more bleeding before bed, none through the night and then a small bit this morning so far. Just feel so emotional and I'm panicking as I don't feel nauseous today either (although my symptoms do come and go). Just had a big cry, can't wait for husband to get back xx

Skl2021 · 02/03/2022 09:31

@Bundaberg84 are you in the tww now? Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞 and incase it doesn't it sounds like your making positive steps forward. You got this 🙌 I'm doing ok thankyou. Just trying to keep busy to get through these next few weeks 🤞 x

@arianasky sounds positive shouldn't be long now 🙌 so glad it's finally here for you and u don't have to keep waiting! Haha you better get busy then 😝 xx

Skl2021 · 02/03/2022 09:33

@Bridgey8 so sorry your doing this alone I hope your hubby comes home soon you being so strong 💞 have u decided on a scan or are you going to wait xx

OP posts:
Sassy144 · 02/03/2022 09:34

@Bundaberg84 yes I know what you mean I do have comfort in knowing I can fall pregnant as it gives me hope it will happen again, but when people say it to me in relation to the MC it feels like I should be 'looking on the bright side', and if I had the choice between getting pregnant and losing it, or not getting pregnant at all, I think I'd choose the second 😞

@HoneyLemon29 I see it!

I got my static smiley today on CD11, after a complete negative two days ago, we dtd this morning and hopefully will the next two days too - last time I ovulated 2-3 days after my peak.

flowergarden16 · 02/03/2022 09:35

Hi ladies.

Hope everyone is ok. It's tough out there.

Was wondering if anyone else uses Clear Blue Advanced Ovulation tests. I'm on day four of high but not got a peak yet. Is that normal? My Ovia app says yesterday was my 'peak' day so wondering if I won't ovulate this month.

X

Bridgey8 · 02/03/2022 09:36

@Skl2021 I think I'm going to wait. I've rang epau and said if anything earlier comes up to ring me. I'm just worried that if I go to a private scan and it's bad news I'll still have to wait 2 days to get medical advice and next steps xx

flowergarden16 · 02/03/2022 09:37

Also maybe a stupid question but how do you know when you've ovulated?

Skl2021 · 02/03/2022 09:43

@Bridgey8 I'm praying everything will be ok for you and hopefully it stops. Your strong you will get through this. Take care of yourself. 💞 Were here if you need us xx

Skl2021 · 02/03/2022 09:45

@flowergarden16 can't offer much help on clearblue as I don't use them sorry. I used opks to detect ovulation but I think the only way u can truly say u have ovulated is through temping or blood tests. Some people get positive opks but unfortunately don't ovulate. X

OP posts:
arianasky · 02/03/2022 10:00

@flowergarden16 I use them but it's my first time using CB with the flashing smiley I'm on day 2 of flashing at the moment I've heard of some people having 7/8 days of flashing before a peak

@Skl2021 I hope i peak tomorrow 🙏🏻 how are you? 💕

Ganesh2022 · 02/03/2022 10:01

@flowergarden16 Hi; I've used those and have had up to 9 days of high before getting peak. It got expensive! I THINK ovulation is supposed to happen within 48 hours or so of peak, but that's just an estimate and I think can be much later for some people. I think the only way to truly know is a scan but people use temperature changes (I'm not disciplined enough) to confirm, and some people can feel it happening I think.

@Bridgey8 so very sorry DH isn't there. Does he know what's going on?

Sassy144 · 02/03/2022 10:09

@flowergarden16 I use the clearblue ovulation tests, and from what I gather everyone is totally different - some get high readings for a while before peak, some go straight from negative to peak, I think also it can be possible to miss your peak - eg if you take the test early morning your peak may happen in the afternoon and then by the next morning levels are down again. I think just use them as a guide. I take my BBT so that's the only way I can confirm when I've actually ovulated.
