@ScotsBaby2 Wow the longest cycle I've ever had was 32 days. Hopefully you can destress a bit now and your cycles will settle down. There are some other supplements you can take to help regulate cycles, I'm not sure what they are called but I'm sure a few people in here will know. My lp is always 15 days so it could be accurate

@christmasbabydust - it's been on lots of different tests. I find FRER to be unreliable
But all my tests seems to be rubbish atm

I cried my eyes out today. Aunt flo came on time and when I tested an hour before she came with a Frer, and the clearest faint line I ever got. Heartbroken.

@Ella31 I'm so sorry... that's heartbreaking! I hope you get your BFP very very soon x

Thanks so much. I shouldn't be so dramatic, it's only our 2nd month trying but I had a miscarriage 4 months ago. Got pregnant on our honeymoon wasn't not trying but didn't expect it to happen so fast. Miscarried at 7 weeks.

I think if the miscarriage didn't happen I'd be ok right now. It's early days.

Can I ask ppl what they did right. We completely over did baby dancing this month, my husband was wrecked by the time I got my peak.

@Ella31 so sorry, that must have been really tough. I’ve never managed to get pregnant in my 17 months of trying so I don’t have any helpful advice about how to do it right I’m afraid :( still hoping that one day I will get it right! Can’t imagine how awful the MC was, it’s no wonder you are finding it difficult. Be kind to yourself ❤️ I really hope it happens for you soon

It's hard no matter where you are on your journey isn't it? I definitely think being only cycle 3 now....there's time, but I feel the MC has spooked me and made me question my fertility.

God, 17 months is hard, I'm convinced it's just luck because I can't fathom how it works for some and not others so fast. So I hope you are keeping that dream alive.

To make myself feel better, I've kept telling myself that the longer the wait, the more special that BFP will be , because I had practically told myself it would work no bother again after the MC. And your BFP will be just as special and so wanted.

Totally agree, every journey is different and there are so many different ways it can be hard, heartbreaking and stressful.

funny how everyone has ways to get them through it isn’t it. The way I try and think is that I need the time to prepare for what a rocket baby i have coming my way! Everyone needs something to hold on to to get them through it.

2 of my best friends have fallen pregnant straight away and are due within 5 weeks of each other. So happy and excited for them - just wish I could be a part of it too!

I’ve agreed to 3 months of letrozole to see if that makes a difference and if not we will be starting IVF circa March.

Countingchicks · 28/12/2022 05:24

Bfn here. Was convinced it would be a bfp due to how hot I've felt at night but I guess that's just down to the usual progesterone after ovulation heat increase. Had forgotten how it felt. Will await AF or another peak on the LH whichever comes first (still breastfeeding so no period yet)

Can anyone see anything? - I think I can but 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

@bubblebab I think I can see something very faint on the last pic? It's really hard to capture the faint ones on photos

It's VERY clear to my eye- but on photo it's a bugger to see. I had a really bad evap on these test's yesterday- but this came up at 4mins30seconds-5mins so I'm not sure. Just doing a couple more. If they're the same I will try get another brand to double check 🤞🏻🤞🏻

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 08:45

I got another faint line this morning but really unsure whether to trust this frer after hearing about all the indent lines

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 08:49

Good luck @bubblebab I hope you get your bfp. This waiting and not knowing thing is so hard, it's driving me crazy.

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 08:54

@christmasbabydust I would definitely take that as a positive! That's a lovely pink line!!!!!!

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 08:55

This is making me really unsure now 🤔

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 08:58

@bubblebab I really hope so! I think I'm just doubting because of hearing about indents and it's still quite faint. I showed my husband and he said it didn't look dark enough! But then what does he know lol

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 09:02

@bubblebab it could be bfp but maybe its still very early? You might need to wait a couple more days, I know it feels like torture

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 09:03

@christmasbabydust - I showed my partner my dye stealer test from my son and he said he couldn't see the line 😂 don't trust the men with pregnancy tests!
Evap lines shouldn't be pink - I'm very hopeful of your test

bubblebab · 28/12/2022 09:06

@christmasbabydust - my cycle is very irregular but my app was telling me to test today. So I am most likely too early to test but I can't help myself. If I turn my phone to negative colours I can definitely see a line (did this last pregnancy)

LucyLoopyLu · 28/12/2022 09:13

@christmasbabydust I cam definitely see a line on the first response! Tentative congrats! Maybe wait 2 days then test again?

christmasbabydust · 28/12/2022 09:14

Haha yes I'm definitely not trusting his opinion on this one. Oh really, I didn't know that, it does have a pink colour to it so 🤞 it is my bfp.
Sounds like yours is likely to be positive as well with the negative colours thing. Fingers crossed we get our September babies 😊

PumpkinTruffles · 28/12/2022 09:19

My period showed up this morning, 2 days late and after a clear, albeit faint, positive at 13DPO on a first response test 😔 I'm going to be really strict about not testing early from now on, it's too disappointing

Matildahoney · 28/12/2022 09:39

I'm out, af appeared with a vengeance last night, bloody bitch! After lots of tears and ruining Christmas day for DH and I, and a good talking to about not being stressed because actually it's not helpful, we weren't actually trying as such the month I fell, I just realised my tracker app said it was ovulation day and we had to DTD just in case! So I'm going to try not to put too much pressure on next month! Good luck everyone.

That looks more than a faint line, keep testing and all the baby dust in the world to you ❤️
