TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@MrsGrealish Wow! Enjoy your dancing!!

Quite a few of the group nearing testing- sooo exciting!!

@Kitty901 definitely understand that... genuinely think the only thing stopping me from testing tomorrow is the lack of an early test so I know it would 100% be a waste 😂

We should do a testing calendar for the rest of the month/may time?? what you guys think, saw a few other threads do that. x

I know girls eek it's getting close😘
@RMS0209 remember no testing b4 10dpo your rules or I'll be ready with the air slaps 😂

I will be 10dpo on Friday, when should i test 🤣 i have those easy@home ones that come in a pack with the ovu tests. I really should not keep any pregnancy tests in the house, it is a danger 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️

@MrsGrealish I still have PTSD from testing in January and seeing that BFN... Im going to go for DPO12/DPO14.. Will be easier to count when I get an actual confirmed ovulation date!!
How you doing? Chuffed about your OPK! x

@RMS0209 a little bit chuffed! Let's hope mr grealish plays ball tonight 🙏 I could very easily delve down the rabbit hole of early ovulation vs no pregnancy on Google but I'll save that drama for next week😂

@RMS0209 sounds good to me, put me down for 30/04 😊I will be very impressed if you made it to 14DPO, I was adamant I was going to and then @MrsUSAinUK and @QueenBee22 made me realise I will not be able to wait that long 😈😆
@MrsGrealish ahh I'm sure Mr G won't turn down some unexpected sexy undies 😉

@MrsGrealish ha ha that made me laugh - come on Mr Grealish! Fingers crossed for you. You've had two peaks in the time I've had one... what is going on!
Oh save the rabbit holes for next week...we can both drive each other mad with it

@alwaysseeingstars you will be impressed.. I'll be impressed! ha ha, I think if I can get past 12dpo without any spotting then I can get excited, just dont want to get upset seeing the BFN sooner than I need to.. if I do make it that far- what test to get? lots of problems with FRERs right now I am hearing.. what are you going to use??? x

.. just leaving this here for this crazy lot...

@RMS0209 I'm not sure on which test.. have only used CB so far which I know have their issues! Was going to get FRER but like you say there seem to have been a lot of problems with them too...
Part of me wants to wait until at least Monday after the CP last month, if I manage that (probably won't 😂) I may just use the CB digital I already have (not an early one so don't want to waste it by testing early!) x

Hi everyone, i took a break from ttc i used to be on threads from dec to feb, then me and DP fell out in march 😂so there was deffo no BDing then. I used this month to wean DD who turned 3. I can never forgive myself for breatsfeeding that long. She now eats better and sleeps through the night!!! Unheard of ever before in 3 years. Me a s DP talked though a lot and it actually helped us relax the following month. So we tried in April and my period showed up again 6 days early. My cycles have been shorter and shorter since the miscarriage 7 months ago but now a 21 cycle with a 7 say period, wth. So I just ordered a progesterone, prolactin and oestrogen package from medi checks for £85 as I wept my tears away at the sight of AF. Thought I would update here as it may help someone else with a short luteal phase. In the meantime I am taking b6, vit C and folic acid for the first time. I also quit sugar in march. 🤞 good luck

@RMS0209 if you hear on the news that woman strangles hubby with thong and I'm not commenting on anything I think we will now how my night went😂 (obviously joking..please don't remove me Mumsnet)

@alwaysseeingstars

If we could find a test with no issues I would be delighted! stay strong... sure we can get you to wait until Monday

Hi @RosyappleA not sure If I spoke to you on one of the other threads? Mumsnet making all the friends haha!
Oh no.. sorry to hear about the fall out grrr...
Great news about DD! Good luck with the medi checks - i struggled with it I couldnt get enough blood to come out my finger - giving you a heads up!

vitamins sound similar to mine - lots of luck to us!

@RMS0209 absolutely, surely one of these brands can come up with something reliable that doesn't cost a fortune 😂

Hi @RosyappleA ! Sorry to hear about your cycle struggles, hopefully the medichecks can give you some answers! I loved being able to get the peace of mind from 2 I did.

@MrsGrealish imagine 😂😂

@RMS0209 I like the idea of a testing calendar! Helps to keep up with where everyone is (and holds us accountable for early testing 😂🙈)

@MrsGrealish laughing so much at your comment!!! x

LADIES! I need your expertise here!

I am 15DPO and have a 25 day cycle.

today is day 25 and no sign of period but I have been having odd sensations down there.

I have been BFN on 10 DPO, 11DPO, 12DPO up and again this morning.

I thought it was really weird that i wasn’t getting my usual PMS cramps (as I do suffer badly). So I just randomly did a cheapie one step.

Can you see a squinter of a line? And If you do is this likely to be a chemical as it’s so faint and fairly late to get a BFP?! Obviously this is a urine sample at about 3.45pm today!

all advice welcome!!!

I’m not sure why those pictures are blurry on my phone so here is another!

@Hjudge56 that 3rd pic is a definite line!! Do u have a first response?

@Hjudge56 i definitely see that line! Do you have any other easy@homes to try as well just to see if they come up with a line too? Otherwise i would to the shop and get a more sensitive test like frer or cb, they must show a stronger line if pregnant, but definitely there is a line there. 😁 Don't stress about chemicals, you might have just implanted if that showed this afternoon but not in the morning.

@MrsGrealish no I don’t 😂! I genuinely thought I was out this month so I didn’t bother stocking up anymore! I used FRER 10DPO, 11DPO and 12DPO and I had nothing!!

I did my last CB ultra early just before this cheapie but (embarrassingly) missed the stick a fair bit whilst trying to pee 😂😂😂 so it did go a bit pink but wasn’t saturated. I thought a faint line was trying to come through but put it down to line eyes and did a cheapie to see!

@Hjudge56 Amazon!! Or get yourself to the nearest shop! Honestly though that test looks positive and I do rate those easy@home tests 🙏

@Kitty901 I’ve just done another easy@home cheapie (sorry thought they were one step)

what do you guys think?
