@QueenBee22 and @MrsUSAinUK any symptoms yet for either of you?

pocketbunny · 28/04/2022 09:23

@Presently14 @Presently83 CONGRATULATIONS! Still totally want to see the photo if you can get it to load. So exciting! I feel cautiously optimistic too, being my first time and knowing of so many MCs. You have to start here though to get a baby in the end, so fingers crossed this is the time and everything goes to plan!!

@Hjudge56 Can't believe your body is still playing games with you :( So confusing X Hope something happens soon..

Hjudge56 · 28/04/2022 09:59

@pocketbunny i know! Do you know what I’m trying to see the funny side of it.. I felt quite sad yesterday and today I’m like this is what you get for overly trying to control natural conception! 🤣

I managed to find my ClearBlue fertility monitor which I used last year and fell pregnant with in one cycle (before a MC sadly!)

and I used one of the pregnancy sticks- came up not pregnant of course! But the stick did have a faint second line on it so god knows! Im not sure if anyone has had any experiences with this monitor or have a faint line on the monitor before?!

MrsUSAinUK · 28/04/2022 10:10

@alwaysseeingstars no symptoms, but i did get this today!!

12DPO, still early days so cautiously optimistic like @pocketbunny and @Presently14 /@Presently83. fingers crossed for all my TWW twins with more patience than me :)

and also to @Hjudge56, hoping things sort out to some clarity soon, the not knowing is unfair.

pocketbunny · 28/04/2022 10:24

OMG @MrsUSAinUK that is an incredible line! Woo hoo! Congratulations!

Hjudge56 · 28/04/2022 10:32

Thank you @MrsUSAinUK ! A HUGE CONGRATS! So exciting!

RMS0209 · 28/04/2022 10:32

@RMS0209 @Hjudge56 @pocketbunny @alwaysseeingstars glad you guys think this line is good like i did! when i showed it to my husband he said it was "suspect" since the test isn't as dark as the control 😂had to convince him it doesn't work like that!!

Hjudge56 · 28/04/2022 10:41

@MrsUSAinUK it’s a very clear line to me!!

RMS0209 · 28/04/2022 10:42

@MrsUSAinUK very clear and beautiful line!

I think I'm out already 5DPO... positive polly did last 5 days! I didn't DTD on OV day but I did the 3 days before but I just think I missed by not doing OV day, was too exhausted! We will see in a few weeks I guess. X

MrsUSAinUK · 28/04/2022 10:45

@RMS0209 sorry you're feeling out, but my fingers and toes crossed for you! you never know what spermies might have been hanging around.

Hjudge56 · 28/04/2022 10:46

@RMS0209 you never know! I’ve seen a lot of people on here be surprised by the month they conceived as they thought there wasn’t enough dancing or no dancing on the ‘right’ days!!

RMS0209 · 28/04/2022 10:47

@Hjudge56 @MrsUSAinUK thanks ladies! Just being silly.
So happy to see all these BFP's though

I danced the Wed Thur & Fri and I ovulated on the Sat so we will see I guess x

5Dpo so need to just relax for now :) x

@RMS0209 you're absolutely not out!! Last month when I got got the BFP, w'd DTD the day of the peak (so not ov day) and 4 days before that! Keep positive miss polly 😉x

Hjudge56 · 28/04/2022 10:55

@RMS0209 thats a lot of dancing! I think you’re very much in the running!

I was waiting for you to come with the positivity! 🥰 @alwaysseeingstars

I have been down a Mumsnet ttc before OV rabbit hole and saw a whole lot of positive's about the few days before ovulation... so I will be more positive and just sit quietly for the next 8 or so days!

Great bunch again 😄 x

Ah definitely, you of all people have NOTHING to worry about with the quantity/timing of DTD 😆x

MrsGrealish · 28/04/2022 11:15

@MrsUSAinUK OMG congratulations!!

JSS15 · 28/04/2022 11:28

Congratulations @MrsUSAinUK !!!

pocketbunny · 28/04/2022 11:36

@RMS0209 I read an article yesterday that said the best thing was having sperm in the tubes waiting to meet the egg ;) So surely you'd have had an army of soldiers ready doing all the days in the lead up 😂Have my fingers crossed for you for this month! It seems a bit cruel for you to have had only one cycle in the time many of us have had two, so hopefully your body is doing all the right things and just taking it's time to get it right. Really hoping over the next couple of months that everyone gets their BFP!

Mc3209 · 28/04/2022 13:46

So happy to see all BFPs!! Congratulations to you, ladies! 🥰

I had yet another BFN yesterday. Not even a squinter. Onwards and upwards, I guess.

I am terrible for symptom spotting. If I really get into it, I can convince myself I am pregnant even before DH gets a twinkle in his eye 🤣 nausea, exhaustion, insomnia, the works 🤣 All magically resolve after couple of BFNs.

I am working late today, so no dancing for me until the weekend realistically. Got some ovulation sticks arriving in the post today, will try to monitor the sitch a bit more closely.

alwaysseeingstars · 28/04/2022 15:14

@Mc3209 sorry about the BFN, hopefully you manage to get a good understanding of your cycle with the OPK's! 😊
