@MrsGrealish congratulations! I saw you had a BFP on another thread but I am just a lurker there so I didn't post 🙊

@Wingingit09 definitely wouldn't worry if that was me, bit weird but just keep an eye out for it happening again

dollface22 · 14/05/2022 22:36

Thanks so much everyone ! The support is amazing on here ! I'm praying for you all also xx

dollface22 · 15/05/2022 07:19

Morning all
I couldn't sleep and have been up since 4am to do the FRER so I did it and it has two lines!

@dollface22 cracking positive! Congratulations!

LemonZestDribbles · 15/05/2022 08:01

@dollface22 congratulations!!! That is a great bfp 😍😍

Tropicana1 · 15/05/2022 08:08

Congratulations @dollface22 amazing line!! 😊 Sorry if you've already said but how many DPO are you?

FourOclock · 15/05/2022 08:11

Great line @dollface22 congratulations!! Smile

HeathenPlayingHouse · 15/05/2022 09:45

Congratulations @dollface22 and @MrsGrealish!

LucyLoopyLu · 15/05/2022 10:04

@dollface22 🤩 no doubting that result! Have you told your OH?

lj2022 · 15/05/2022 10:21

@dollface22 @MrsGrealish congratulations to you both how exciting ❤️

LaVitesse2022 · 15/05/2022 10:26

Great to see so many BFPs! Congrats @MrsGrealish and @dollface22 😃

How many DPO when you tested positive, if you don't mind me asking? Planning on testing today once I arrive home (DPO 11)

hevann · 15/05/2022 10:31

Congratulations to the BFP's over that past few days. Fab news for you all 🎉🎊

I tested this morning still a BFN not even a smidge of a line, only 11dpo so there is still hope I'm not out yet but I don't think it'll be my month again just waiting for AF to arrive. x

HippeePrincess · 15/05/2022 14:38

Lovely to come back after another week or so and see some more BFP's, congratulations!

I decided to go ahead and track my first cycle off contraception, so far it seems my body is getting back to normal right away, had the withdrawal bleed 3 days after stopping it and counting first day of that bleed as CD1 I would be CD14 now and have had what I think is a peak OPK today, I'll continue to test out.

Had a look at ovulation trackers, places you can upload tests etc to help you work things out but I can't see any good ones that you don't have to pay for - does anyone have any good suggestions for free apps?

We have another busy two weeks ahead hopefully some of the things we wanted to sort before TTC will be sorted then, even if they're not sorted I think we'll go ahead anyway as I am aware it could take some time and like someone said earlier in the thread there's still 9 months to sort it.

I'll be due AF roughly the end of this month ready to go in June. We did have a slip up without a condom this month as ovulation tests were blank and I figured it would be fine as too early in my cycle especially as it's the first month off contraception, not that it really matters now but glad I didn't come off contraception any earlier!

WingingIt09 · 15/05/2022 15:24

@dollface22 there's no mistaking that line!

@HippeePrincess I use premom for opks, you can sign up for the paid bit but I don't bother.

OP posts:
Cherrymarket · 15/05/2022 16:18

@dollface22 congratulations!

@HippeePrincess I use Femometer, it’s free!

LaVitesse2022 · 15/05/2022 16:20

BFN for me just now, feeling down though I know I shouldn't as it's only my first cycle trying. Waiting for AF to arrive on Tuesday, if not I might test again.

Theawkwardblonde · 15/05/2022 16:23

@HippeePrincess I use Femometer for my opks/tracking, and Flo for a second app. Both free.

Cherrymarket · 15/05/2022 16:23

WingingIt09 · 14/05/2022 19:41

TMI question... but DH and I just DTD (CD6). Period mostly finished CD4, with a small amount of brown spotting yesterday morning on CD5. After DTD there was bright red blood, which has never happened before... should I be concerned? Don't think it could be period blood as it had finished?

Just catching up with the thread! I would say if it happens again go and see your dr. It could be something like cervical ectropian if it keeps happening (not dangerous, just annoying)

also congratulations @MrsGrealish 🥳

I am 6dpo today, sore boobs, cramping and spotting. 🤞🤞🤞

dollface22 · 15/05/2022 18:32

Oh wow thanks so much for all the congratulations! According to my app I'm 4w2
Not sure how many dp I am! Just know I was 1 day late when I did my test. Xx

MrsGrealish · 15/05/2022 18:46

@LaVitesse2022 I tested positive with a clearblue ultra early at 10dpo. I have a feeling an FRER wouldn't have shown up coz it's was only a faint line at 12 dpo. It's big and bright now though xx

HippeePrincess · 15/05/2022 19:27

I can’t seem to get on with femometer, free Premom seems great so far, thanks for the suggestions xx

WingingIt09 · 15/05/2022 19:28

@Cherrymarket thanks. I don't know what's going on as I've had brown spotting and cramping today too. Think my cycle might be a bit messed up 🥴 just what I want as we are TTC! Will just have to see what happens in the next week with temp and OPKs.

@LaVitesse2022 sorry you got a BFN. You're a not out till AF shows!

OP posts:
Jennifer89 · 15/05/2022 19:47

@dollface22 congrats, that definitely looks positive!

My ovulation stick is showing stronger and pinker on both lines today and I am cycle day 14. Think I was reading it wrong before on cycle day 11.. If I were ttc this day would definitely good time to get to it. 😅

dearhummingbirds · 15/05/2022 20:09

Congratulations @dollface22 and @MrsGrealish

Amazing to see so many BFPs over the past week or so!

@LaVitesse2022 sorry to hear you’re feeling disheartened :( you’re so early on in your journey, I’m sure things will turn around!

lj2022 · 16/05/2022 10:31

@LaVitesse2022 hope you're okay it's so easy to be disheartened you're so early in your journey so try focus on the fun things you can still do e.g. glass of wine, steak, soft cheeses etc that's how I've got through the last 6 months. The first 3 months I set my expectations so I wasn't disappointed and now I have my day when AF arrives to be sad then power through and try be positive so it doesn't take over my life. It's easier said than done but try enjoy the process
