@mamazac Hope it gets darker for you x Not planning to test unless AF doesn't arrive Wednesday. I'll be disappointed to see the BFN if so and if I get BFN I'll question it like I always do. I don't want to get my hopes up. Not back in work until Friday so it doesn't make a difference to me.

@My2boysaremyworld Same feelings about CP. Told dh today if I got BFP I wouldn't be telling him for a week at least in case of CP. He has no clue when AF is due.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord see I think exactly the same but I just can't help myself. I had a CP last month and it shattered both of us.

Hopefully AF doesn't come and you can get straight into testing! X

Thank you @BellaTheDarkOverlord @anotherpotoftea @EdinburghGirl1 @Purple29 x

EdinburghGirl1 · 30/08/2022 06:11

@BirdIsland sorry to hear this.

@mamazac good this is it for you. Will you try to get a FRER tomorrow? I'm 13dpo today but now just waiting for AF to arrive. Got bfn at the weekend which I had expected but still felt bit rubbish. Feel better now though snd will focus on next cycle and my holiday in a couple of weeks.

@BellaTheDarkOverlord really hope this is it for you. Keep us updated.

My2boysaremyworld · 30/08/2022 07:12

@Bluelightbaby I had that done last year xx

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 30/08/2022 08:10

@Bluelightbaby Hope you get the results you want. I talked to DH about getting tested but he doesn't seemed bothered.

I've had spotting again last night and a bit this morning. It looks like AF is now starting to come, spotting a lot later than normal. Feeling down now as spotting came so much later this month. Tricked me it could be positive.

Crazycatlady19 · 30/08/2022 08:39

Urgh! Spotting has started and AF due tomorrow so I think I'm out this month.

mamazac · 30/08/2022 08:41

@EdinburghGirl1 yeah I'm gonna try and get a FRER today, took another of the clear blues this morning and another really faint line but it is still early and they aren't as sesnsitive. So we'll see what the frer says later

mamazac · 30/08/2022 08:42

@EdinburghGirl1 fingers crossed she doesn't arrive and then you'll be into crazy testing like mešŸ˜‚

Salcal · 30/08/2022 09:31

Morning all
Wondering if I could join you? 9dpo and POAS but pointless exercise as the strips I'm using at 25miu!
What ICs do others use for early testing? Amazon reviews of lots of false BFP make me twitchy. Using Premom at the minute as convinced myself lower sensitivity will make me believe it if I do get a BFP.
Fingers crossed for lots of May 23 babies šŸ¤žšŸ¼

LucyLoopyLu · 30/08/2022 10:58

Hi all šŸ‘‹
Just checking in. I have been reading everything on here but haven't posted in a while.

7dpo now. I will be testing Mon/Tues next week, AF due next Wednesday.
We DTD every other day in fertile window and used preseed this time. Just so hoping it works

kizzy97 · 30/08/2022 12:18

Had a mope and stuffed my face and now mentally preparing to do it all again, hopefully September is it šŸ¤ž

mamazac · 30/08/2022 13:25

Got my hands on an FRER and tested this afternoon, extremely faint line but that's expected but I don't trust frer unless it's a bold obvious line and their indents are terrible.

Bonus points for anyone that can see itšŸ˜‚

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 30/08/2022 13:25

@Salcal Welcome! I got some of those easy@homes ones but not had BFP yet so can't say if they are any good yet.

I started with another bit of spotting today which has now gone a bit red. That's me out as AF starts that way. AF due tomorrow so expecting full flow by end of tomorrow. Might go get some treats to cheer myself up. Dh doesn't want to talk about it so feel a bit lonely.

mamazac · 30/08/2022 13:26

@BellaTheDarkOverlord I'm so sorry to hear that, get yourself something nice to indulge in and prepare for the next month.

Sorry about DH, but we're all here to talk if you need us xx

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 30/08/2022 13:26

@mamazac I see it congratulations!! I hope it gets darker for you xx

@BellaTheDarkOverlord so sorry, we're all here for you xx

Ttcnmx · 30/08/2022 15:26

Hi so I’ve done a clear blue ovulation test yesterday which was flashing smiley. And then today I did another one and showed a solid smiley. Meaning peak ovulation. So I did a strip test just to check with another brand and that came back as low ovulation. So now I’m thinking is it even right the clear blue one?! And worried now that it was a false positive.

@mamazac @My2boysaremyworld Thanks x DH is home but still not emotionally bothered. He knows I'm not in a good place. Took myself out for a food shop by myself instead. Got a cheesecake. Not sure if I'll share it yet...šŸ˜‚

@Ttcnmx Maybe DTD to be safe and continue using the strip ones to see if that shows peak too. Are you testing at same time or using same wee? I think time of day affects it. Goodluck!

OP posts:
My2boysaremyworld · 30/08/2022 18:21

@BellaTheDarkOverlord do you think he's struggling? Men are funny creatures and can act off instead of talking about it.

I would eat a cake to myself lol xx

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 30/08/2022 18:32

@My2boysaremyworld I'm not sure. I know he does struggle with this stuff which is why I don't talk to him about it. But he just doesn't seem to be supportive when AF comes. Yes I might just eat the whole cake 😁

OP posts:
mamazac · 30/08/2022 18:35

@BellaTheDarkOverlord my DH can be the same, is very invested in it but when I come on I get an "oh sorry" and then it's never mentioned again. I don't think he really understands what it does to me every failed cycle.

Eat the cake, onto the next cycle xx

My2boysaremyworld · 30/08/2022 19:01

@BellaTheDarkOverlord well you've got us lovely ladies here for you xx
