Hoping for BFP in May

[Catred4]

CD1 here, starting a new thread for those who are hoping to get a BFP in May for a January/February baby 🥰

This is my cycle 3 trying for #2. I've got an 18mo old son.

Got my fingers crossed @Decaffe I hate the squinters on FRERS because you have no other choice but to test with another FRER and they are ££ so you have no choice but to wait.
I'm 10dpo and BFN with cheapies, although there was a faint something that appeared after the time - can't trust that!! Got one FRER that I will do on Thursday (if I can wait that long). Xx

@Decaffe i can see it, ling hold later or try and wait for tomorrow! Hate indents they give so much hope!
CD8 here abs OPKs are looking better than last cycle, more colour to them and getting slightly darker, I didn't have a peak last cycle and darkness line was CD9, been taking B12 and Vit C this cycle as it's supposed to help lengthen cycles 🤞🏼

@allthingssparkly has AF shown up? Maybe try a hold and do one this afternoon? I know some people get better results in the afternoon

@Decaffe can see the line ❤🤞🤞

@Catred4 the line looked really good on the cheapie. Hopefully just early!

I'm 1dpo. Feeling hopeful one minute and miserable the next as I don't think we would be lucky enough on cycle 1

AF hasn't shown up @LemonZestDribbles just been to Boots and bought a FRER x

Tested this morning with one of the early tests, AF due on sat, but couldn’t wait. BFN :( not really surprising as I we rarely have sex (his low sex drive) Maybe only 4x a cycle :( I’m feeling so deflated as yet another month of negative tests.

@Bluelightbaby that is frustrating 😞
we have similar issues due to shift working, but it only takes once!

Yep we’re both shift workers here (hence my username) but we get a lot of time off together so no excuse really. It’s hugely frustrating as I’m 42 and feel like time is running out and every month counts

I am spotting.

So this is yet another FRER indent / fake line!

@allthingssparkly yay that is so exciting. Will you use it tomorrow?

@Bluelightbaby the negatives are very disheartening. Still could get early though. It must be hard when every month feels so important :( can you talk to him about it. My dh has a low sex drive (we can go a few months really) but he's really trying for a baby this time. It really does only take once. Especially if you can try and plan for ovulation day

@Decaffe this is so rubbish. The indent lines on frers atm are criminal. Nothing like they used to be

I might be getting in my own head here but I've had some very weird thingy cramps the last few days, not like full on period pain but twinges and my back is KILLING!
The exhaustion is real too.

Am I just getting in my own head with ghost pregnancy symptoms, and they're just coincidental or could this be a sign? I'm 13dpo but had BFN or fake indent lines on tests the last few days

Hi I just took a test my period isn't due for another 3 days ish

I got a cheapy little acutest one from Co-op

It came up with this line within the time frame (it has obviously got colour outside the time frame so I'm ignoring that)

Any advice would be great

Oh decaffe how annoying 😢

if you want to switch to another test I can recommend lloyds own (not the digital ones). They picked up my last pregnancy before FRER did at something like 8dpo. They’ll save you a few quid too.

That positive @MA676 !!

can you buy another test and do a hold?

I tested about an hour and a half ago @LemonZestDribbles it's neg 😩 so not sure what's going on x

@Organictangerine probably tomorrow now as I'm working until 7pm😭😭

I have another acutest one in my bag I'm tempted to just use it to see if I get the same result to rule out any indent lines

@LemonZestDribbles im also 1dpo (I think!) when do you plan on testing?

okay so I did another test with the same brand and the plastic screen off! Let me know what you think

@MA676 it's looks positive but could you see it before you took the test apart? I can see a faint line in the other picture!

Yes it looked like this before it took that test apart

@MA676 I can see the faint line! Maybe test tomorrow or the day after and see again!

So I did a clear blue early one after my bfn yesterday.

What do you think?

Positive @RBSK1 I can see a line! 😊

thoughts on this OPK? I’m confused now - did my first OPK of the cycle yesterday morning which was positive although not blazing positive. They faded off throughout the day, but today is slightly stronger. Mystified!

OH got a better pic of it.

Hope it's not a false one

@RBSK1 I can see it!

@Organictangerine what CD are you on? It looks good though, you've probably got a slow climbing surge going on there. Test again later/tomorrow and see how it looks then. DTD tonight if possible!

@RBSK1 X posted 😄
