Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

BFN here too 👎🏼 I’m actually shocked!
Guess we all buckle down and wait for AF and try again next month x

MrsSprouse · 06/01/2023 09:08

Sorry about the BFNs and AF guys, hopefully things change the next few days

@Pitstop1986 was it Frozen 1 or 2? 2 always gets me, I'm a sobbing mess by the end of it LOL

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 09:20

Maybe it's not hormones and just the magic of Disney?! 😄 It was Frozen 2. My daughter only watches Encanto or Moana (we put it on to keep her entertained whilst I cook dinner/if she has a meltdown) and I need a bit more variety than just them 2 films, so been putting Frozen on in the background when she plays to try to wean her into it... It's not worked so far, she still refuses to sit and watch it! 😭

Still no bleeding for me, but I purposely got up at 5am to pee so that my fmu was gone and I wasn't tempted to test. I don't think a 25miu test would pick anything up if I was pregnant, but I still suspect AF will arrive and I don't want to go wasting tests. If AF is late, then I'll use one!

Ordering some ICs for next month so that I can POAS to my heart's content!

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 09:25

@Downtherabbithole83 @30mummy so sorry that you didn't get a positive this morning. I'm still in the mindset that it isn't over until AF arrives!

@cdn298 that's a real shame. I've been rooting for everyone this month. I thought that it would be out month! At least it's come early to save you the frustration of those last two days.

Sending hugs for everyone xxx

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 09:28

And @MrsL22 sorry, I missed you out! Sending hugs to you too

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 11:12

I really thought it would be our month. Maybe we are all in sync and it’ll be next month!

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 14:56

This cycle is driving me mad!

Still no more bleeding, but just went to the loo and there was a big glob of cm very similar to EWCM but a bit thicker when I wiped. Obviously played about with it because I'm weird like that (probably lead me to me job as a nurse!) and it was stretchy between my fingers. Not sure I've ever had that before on CD 30!

I might just dehydrate myself a bit and hold my urine for a few hours to get it concentrated and then take another pregnancy test.

If it's negative, I'll DTD with DH incase I've had some freak late ovulation!

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 15:35

@Pitstop1986 During my last pregnancy I had a lot more CM in the days before my BFP but it was fairly constant.

Do you have any LH tests you could use?

cdn298 · 06/01/2023 15:52

I have had no more actual red blood since I said yesterday just a bit of brownish spotting a couple of times today when I have wiped and that's it.

Driving me absolutely mad now. Just want Af to hurry up now x

@Downtherabbithole83 I have a clearblue ovulation tester so I'll do that plus a Pg test. I'm going to try to hold my urine for 4 hours so that I get a decent concentration.

@cdn298 you sound as confused as I am!

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 17:18

Let us know what the test says when you do it later @Pitstop1986 - I’ve heard that opks can also give high results if you’re pregnant so keep that in mind!

Sorry that both you and @cdn298 are having so much stopping and starting AF-wise. I bet you don’t know if you’re coming or going… still no hint of AF for me (not due until Sunday anyway) but the back cramps continue. My last period was pretty light after my tfmr (much lighter than I expected) so I think this one might be hideous to make up for it!

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 17:20

Sorry @30mummy and @MrsL22 that you also got BFNs today.

As soon as I’d taken the test, I wished I hadn’t. Much preferred yesterday when I just didn’t worry about it.

Hopefully we see some BFPs tomorrow. Am I right in thinking there have been two BFPs on here in totally so far? I lost track…

T4Opal · 06/01/2023 18:05

BFN here too! No sign of AF but my bbt has gone down so I’m no longer hopeful. Roll on next cycle

DancingNancies · 06/01/2023 19:41

@Downtherabbithole83 I did exactly the same...was trying to hold out then curiosity got the better of me! Did a test, oddly faint/imaginary line again so still none the wiser. Crampy all week, awful skin, all things that would suggest AF is on the way so let's hope tomorrow is a decisive day, one way or the other!

No more tests left now though so will have to pop to the supermarket and get some...I'm going for the £1 for 2 option this time though, can't afford to have a POAS obsession with the others 😂

Pitstop1986 · 06/01/2023 19:48

I got a negative pregnancy test and a blank circle on the ovulation test.

The confusion continues!

MexicanDrinkingWorm · 06/01/2023 20:02

Ahhh you’ve all made me cave and do one a day earlier than planned!! @DancingNancies i blame you 😂
Just done one, still negative, not looking good for me this cycle either!

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 20:23

Sorry about your BFNs ladies - not a great track record for this group this cycle… but not a lot of proper AFs yet either so it could still happen.

@DancingNancies I’m using the IC from Amazon for this very reason: £8 for 20 or 25 I think! Makes me feel less guilty about wasting them… before my pregnancy last time I was using more expensive ones and felt guilty for spending so much money on them.

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 20:33

Despite the BFNs, this group is still the best and the support is amazing. I’m so hopeful for all of us and glad we can all go through this together

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 20:46

It really is the best @MrsL22 - I’m genuinely pleased whenever I get notified that someone has written something else on here!

DancingNancies · 06/01/2023 20:48

@MexicanDrinkingWorm my apologies, I have no self control so I drag everyone into the chaos with me 😂

@Downtherabbithole83 I can't help but think about the ridiculous cost of them, and when you eventually get a BFP the money spent on tests that could be spent on a baby - 😱

@MrsL22 I feel the same, keep checking back to see if anyone's updated yet!

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 20:53

@DancingNancies the cost will pay off when we have a beautiful bundle of joy in our arms.

@Downtherabbithole83 i wonder how long we will all be here. I really hope not too long but then I feel like I need you all in my life 😂🙈

@MexicanDrinkingWorm welcome to the crazy club 🤪 I also have the £8 for 25 from Amazon. Less guilty - although I’ve done frer Wednesday and today and still negative!

I’m reading lots of other cases of people testing negative on frer right up until 14-17dpo!! Guess it really is true it’s not over until AF arrives.

I’ve lost track - how many BFPs have we had in here? Who are they??

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 20:56

@MrsL22 I’ve seen that some of these groups continue through to when people actually have their babies (multiple threads with the same names added to continue) so don’t worry - you’re not getting rid of us easily 😂

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 21:20

Haha well in that case, seeing as we are here for the long haul, what does everyone do? Where’s everyone from? 😂

I’m a secondary maths teacher from Lancashire (and I wonder why my stress levels are so high and I can’t conceive 🫠)

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/01/2023 21:32

@MrsL22 Im a teacher too! Head of school at a Primary School in Norfolk - must be mad.

MrsL22 · 06/01/2023 21:33

@Downtherabbithole83 That’s amazing! Wow. Head of school. Where do you find the time to TTC 😂🙈
