@My2boysaremyworld I think I have a lymph node infection 😫haha I’ll have to!

peachiekeen · 10/05/2022 19:39

@LuckyMoonstone yay for ovulation!! Sucks about the pain. I felt like my back was collapsing when I ovulated so that was fun. 'Try not to move me!' 🤣

My2boysaremyworld · 10/05/2022 19:48

@LuckyMoonstone oh no hope you manage to DTD x

LuckyMoonstone · 10/05/2022 20:39

@My2boysaremyworld I think we’re gonna use the home insemination trick tonight 😆 hopefully tomorrow or Thursday I’ll feel well enough to do it properly!

My2boysaremyworld · 10/05/2022 20:40

@LuckyMoonstone 🤣🤣

LuckyMoonstone · 10/05/2022 20:42

@peachiekeen fingers crossed it is really ovulation coming🤞 I’ll do an OPK in the morning and see what my temps look like. Plenty of ewcm now so it’s picking up a bit 👍 haha 😂

What does ewcm stand for? I know it's cervical mucas but what is the ew? Xx

@My2boysaremyworld egg white lovely x

@My2boysaremyworld egg white as it’s the best way to describe what it looks like!

Still have sore boobs and haven't started spotting yet so I tested this morning (12dpo?) with a Clear Blue Ultra Early and got a very faint line at the two minute mark. Not sure what to think now. The instructions say any faint line within the time frame is a positive but this isn't even as obvious as my faint line from my last pregnancy so maybe a chemical I guess, if anything? I think if it was going to stick it would be much darker by now. Not even going to bother with a FRER as they didn't pick up my last pregnancy until I was a few days late. I don't rate them at all anymore.

Just a waiting game now I guess. AF is due on Friday. If it's not here by Saturday morning then I'll test again.

Hi gals, took a break from MN - CD3 for me 😢 back to it this month...

@TheBirdintheCave is that a blue dye test? Would you like to share with us and we can be your line eyes?

@LuckyMoonstone how are you getting on? Have the strips progressed much?

TheBirdintheCave · 11/05/2022 09:00

@bunnykins123 Yeah blue dye. I know they're meant to be crap but for my last pregnancy they showed far a positive far more clearly than FRER did. FRER was still showing negative when the Clear Blue digi said 'pregnant'.

I can't photograph the line unfortunately. It can be seen with the naked eye (just about) but the camera won't pick it up. I'm 90% sure it won't amount to anything so am happy to just wait and see at the weekend :)

LuckyMoonstone · 11/05/2022 09:03

@TheBirdintheCave well that sounds like it could be promising! Fingers crossed for you, all pregnancies are different even in the same person.
@bunnykins123 I’m alright thank you lovely, did an OPK this morning and it’s still nowhere near positive but it’s darker than the last one I did yesterday morning! How are you feeling?

Temp has gone up a little bit but no big spike yet. Ewcm is still here so that’s a relief. I reckon it’ll still take a few days for ov to happen, hopefully over the weekend so we’ve got time for DTD!

LuckyMoonstone · 11/05/2022 10:54

Urgh I have strep throat! Really hope being ill doesn’t affect ovulation

TheBirdintheCave · 11/05/2022 14:21

@LuckyMoonstone I doubt it will. When I got pregnant in February, I had food poisoning around the time I was meant to ovulate. It didn't seem to affect anything :)

LuckyMoonstone · 11/05/2022 15:04

@TheBirdintheCave good to know, thanks :)

ElleBelleLou · 11/05/2022 15:56

Could do with a bit of a handhold today!! I know I'm definitely out for May, BFN and AF symptoms today.

I had a miscarriage in March, found out a colleague was pregnant the exact same time. She's announced her pregnancy to the whole office today and everyone's so cheery and celebrating - I am of course happy for her but I feel so sad and emotional because I should be announcing mine this week too.

TTC just feels like such a hard journey especially today 

My2boysaremyworld · 11/05/2022 16:02

@ElleBelleLou sending you big hugs. It's so hard I totally understand. We should of been announcing our pregnancy this week too. It's heartbreaking. Iv got a couple of friends who are pregnant and would of been the same time as us. I'm trying to stay positive by if I'm happy for them then hopefully it will bring me luck in conceiving a new baby. Here if you need to chat. Xx

My2boysaremyworld · 11/05/2022 16:03

@ElleBelleLou forgot to say is there anyone at your work who knew your situation and could be a shoulder to cry on if you have a wobble? Xx

bunnykins123 · 11/05/2022 17:07

@TheBirdintheCave perhaps retest again tomorrow with a FRER? Blue dye tests are notorious for indents but that's not to say that this is a indent.

@LuckyMoonstone that's great news! Fingers crossed O is on its way and you can get some bding in this weekend 🙃 sounds promising with the EWCM too 🤞 I'm okay, just a bit exhausted from it all, this is now the longest it's taken for me to get pregnant post miscarriage sob I did a 3 day blood test today so let's see if anything is off with that!

@ElleBelleLou big hugs. It's completely natural to feel the way you do and it's so hard when you are going through all of this 💕

LuckyMoonstone · 11/05/2022 19:04

@ElleBelleLou oh god, well done you for staying strong, I’d have probably hid in the toilets crying!

@bunnykins123 it’s a crap milestone to hit isn’t it, if I don’t get pregnant this month then it’ll be the longest it’s ever taken me too

ElleBelleLou · 11/05/2022 19:09

@LuckyMoonstone I got home and I sobbed my eyes out in the bath for an hour!

I am happy for my colleague genuinely but it was so hard, only a very small handful of people knew about my situation (my manager and my 4x closest colleagues - and I only told them as the sickness hit me like a train and I didn't want them to think I was skiving in the bathroom!) and they've been wonderful but I think it's just seeing someone at the exact stage I should be makes it feel harder.

I feel selfish but I'm dreading watching her bump grow, see her going off on maternity and everything. She has her scan picture on her desk and it makes my heart hurt that I don't get to see what. But I know it'll be my time when it's right!

LuckyMoonstone · 11/05/2022 19:42

@ElleBelleLou oh sweetie I don’t blame you! You’re not being selfish, you’ve gone through a terrible thing and it’s ok to be extra sensitive right now. It would hurt me too to see all that.
A few weeks ago our next door neighbour came over to tell us his new son had been born, I hid in the bedroom and made DH go to the door (I knew that’s what it would be about as I’d already heard from a mutual fiend). Then another time I saw the mother with the pram outside just as I got out of the car so I RAN into the house as fast as I could like an idiot 😅
