@Roxybabe huge congratulations!! 🎉

BCxx · 22/12/2022 23:52

@Tafaa @Needtobuildabridge congratulations!

@Roxybabe just don’t put too much expectation on tomorrow’s line being majorly darker, I got a faint line at 9dpo and expected more of a solid one at 10dpo but it was really much the same. I then convinced myself it was a chemical and had every emotion possible that weekend then got some quite heavy implantation bleeding at 11dpo, assumed it was definitely bad news, it stopped, waited two days to test again and even then it was darker but not majorly darker. Try not to put yourself through hell if it’s not that dark tomorrow, how hydrated you are will make it vary so much just now

@BCxx thanks for the advice, I’ve decided I’m not testing again now until after xmas, I’m terrified of a chemical and it’ll ruin my xmas. I retested this morning and the line was v much the same and the anxiety set in! But then I gave myself a good talking to, I’m only 9/10dpo and I retested less then 12 hours later 🤦‍♀️I really don’t want to obsess over line progression, if I dont retest, in my mind I’m still pregnant, and if I get AF I’ll know it was a chemical, I don’t need a test to tell me that! I kinda wish I didn’t test early now! I’m just going to try and stay positive and hope AF stays away and will retest after xmas… it really is a rollercoaster isn’t it!!
I was speaking to my sister and she told me she took one test, it was positive, and that was that,I couldn’t believe it, she is so chilled. Wish I was like that!

@DearieMeWhatsUp good luck for testing tomorrow!

@Teaplease29 i think that’s when I was due AF but because this is my first month of letrozole I have no idea when I’m due now as trigger shot/letrozole combo made me ovulate earlier than usual and the progesterone will extend my luteal phase. Have also been warned that if I test too early I could get a false positive as the trigger shot contains HCG 🤦‍♀️ so think I’m going to have to try and be really strict about not testing too early!

ahh congrats for more BFPs! Seems like I’ve joined a lucky thread!

Hopefulfor4 · 23/12/2022 09:39

I was just wondering if any of the ladies with a BFP this cycle experienced cramping before hand thinking it was AF? Looking for a glimmer of hope or a reality check either is fine! Xx

doughyparton · 23/12/2022 13:09

@Hopefulfor4 definitely, had a bit of lower abdomen cramping around 9/10 dpo for sure. It’s stopped now bar the odd twinge

DearieMeWhatsUp · 23/12/2022 13:24

Gah, BFN. Serves me right for feeling optimistic! AF due tomorrow so onto the next cycle!

Roxybabe · 23/12/2022 14:43

@Hopefulfor4 I had some mild cramping last night, if I hadn’t got BFP I would def assume AF!

8dpo - period due Monday. BFN today. Hope I'm still in the running.

ItWasTimeToGo · 23/12/2022 17:48

AF arrived for me. Cramping hurts more than usual this month 😥

Owlgirl14 · 23/12/2022 18:15

Congrats on all the BFP's so far.

Hoping I may be able to join this thread soon. AF was due to arrive Tuesday but still no sign. Also had various symptoms the last week and half.

Going to test tomorrow, but very new to this and wondering which test would be best. Was thinking of a clear blue digital as then there's no confusion and easiest to show the husband but I've read that they're not alway great at detecting hcg or would it be ok as I will potentially be 4 days late.

Knov20 · 23/12/2022 18:19

Still bleeding after chemical pregnancy. Anyone else still on their period and going to try again in January?

I think you would be okay with a digital at 4 days late. I'm a big fan of a pink test so usually buy first response tests.

Good luck x

Roxybabe · 23/12/2022 19:06

@Owlgirl14 you should be fine with a digi at 4 days late!!

@Knov20 hope you are doing ok and still manage to have a nice xmas despite the circumstances!! Best of luck for next cycle hun! Xx

Hey @Knov20 hope you're feeling alright 😔 been thinking about you and my heart really goes out to you. My ovulation is predicted the 2nd of January so we will be getting back to business next week!

Roxybabe · 23/12/2022 21:53

So I know I said I wasn’t going to retest, I had one digital and my husband really wanted me to do one more, longest 3 minutes of my life…but I got a BFP 🥳

Just a little back story as I always wonder when I see ppl with BFPs and its nice to give ppl hope… I’m 33 (34 next month) TTC First baby, had non hormonal coil out in early June. So this is cycle 7 but 6 of properly trying with OPKs. I was starting to worry there was something not right as I felt like everyone around my was falling super easy. I have been taking prenatal multivits, coq10, vitamin B6 and the only thing I did differently this month was I switched to folate instead of folic acid and I took evening primrose oil up until my positive opk as I was worried I had no EWCM. We also DTD EOD instead of ED! No idea if any of these made a difference but thought I’d share anyway! Now i’m going to stop testing and cross my fingers and toes as it is now out of my control so I’m going to try and relax!

All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

Congratulations @Roxybabe that is amazing news and a lovely Christmas present! 😄

Babydust99 · 24/12/2022 00:21

For anyone looking for tww buddies, I'm 4 dpo and due af 5th January

emhope · 24/12/2022 05:38

@Hopefulfor4 I got my BFP 2 days ago and have had on/off mild cramping. It started a few days ago so looking back now I guess it was a symptom for me. Fingers crossed the same for you 😊

emhope · 24/12/2022 05:41

@Roxybabe ah how lovely to see it on a digital. Congratulations! I brought a digital yesterday but was too scared to use even though I have had line progression on FRER’s. 12 DPO so think I will do it today 😬

ScotsBaby2 · 24/12/2022 07:45

@Babydust99 I'm with you in the tww. I'm 3 DPO.

Roxybabe · 24/12/2022 07:46

@emhope you should be good! I was 11 DPO! I was so scared too! But so pleased I did as it means I’m going to stop testing as it’s not good for my anxiety!! Let us know if you do!!! So exciting! ❤️
