Who’s in their fertile window now?

[CZ9294]

I had my first flashing smile yesterday but didn’t dtd. I’m not feeling well as I have an awful cold…but really need to find the energy tonight!

My period will be due around 11th Jan. could be before or after as my cycle lengths vary by a few days.

Let’s keep each other company!

@SillyOldBear3 a FRER at 11DPO showed me mine last time so maybe try then:)

@SillyOldBear3 sounds hopeful!! Will cross my fingers for you.

I'm 10dpo today and have just had pink spotting when wiping. Fits the characteristics of implantation bleeding but I had the exact same last month for 2 days before AF arrived so worried it's a sign of low progesterone 😔 sore boobs have gone too and some light cramping has begun so just feel that I'm out now and AF is on her way!

After not having cycles for a year though post-pill I am taking solace in the fact that things seem to finally be settling down for me, 2 cycles in 2 months like a normal person!! Hopefully next one will be lucky.

@SillyOldBear3 how did you get on this afternoon? I really hope this is it for you this month 🤞🏻 Xx

@WilllowStar BFN today at 10dpo unfortunately and not even a hint of a line. 3 cheapies yesterday all had the faint line (but only when dry). So strange, I'm hoping it's not a very early chemical as I still have the same symptoms ☹️ I think it's just a waiting game for AF now which should arrive on Thursday. How are you feeling?

@Apat10 keeping my fingers crossed that it's implantation for you!

@SillyOldBear3 oh im sorry lovely. The waiting game is horrible. I’m feeling okay, pretty tired and boobs starting to ache a little but generally fine. Xx

@WilllowStar Aw glad you're doing well, it must be strangely reassuring to be getting stronger symptoms!

I've attached yesterday's 3 very, very faint tests here.. just to reassure myself that I'm not going crazy and imagining them.. There are lines of some sort, right? If yes.. then potentially a chemical again if they don't get stronger ☹️ OR maybe my HCG is just really low?...

@SillyOldBear3 there look like veryyy faint lines there, but I think I read those test strips say to only read them in the 5 minutes after taking the test, not sure if it might affect the reading for it to be much later. Fingers crossed the lines get darker!

Is anyone aware of anything we can do diet wise to support progesterone, rather than taking the progesterone pessaries?

@SillyOldBear3 I can see very faint line there too, don’t worry your not going crazy! Is AF due tomorrow? xx

@SillyOldBear3 I can definitely see something, but I'd agree they're all the same 'level' of darkness.

I tested today again 9dpo with a frer and it was a very clear negative, which is sad, and I'm also cramping so I think I'm likely out this month, I feel my period is gonna show up imminently.

@WilllowStar @Sunshine2243 Thanks, at least I know I'm not imagining them! I know they should definitely not be considered valid once past the 5 mins... I just found it strange that I got in a row like this when all others from this batch have dried stark white 🙈

AF is due today or tomorrow but I usually get some spotting a day or two before which I haven't had yet.

@lemonyfox Sorry about the negative..9dpo is still very early though, you might only just have implanted and that could also cause cramping. It's just a waiting game now isn't it, fingers crossed for you.

@CAA121 thanks for sharing your story, sounds like you've had a long old journey, sorry to hear it took so long for them to take you seriously! GPS really don't seems to listen when it comes to anything AF related :( that's good news you are now on waiting list for a lap, good luck with that when it comes around! After a few more months of trying I definitely will start investigating more. I know a few people that have had endo and got preg so it doesn't worry me too much and there are lots of success stories out there!

That's so weird about your potential AF, if nothing more has come then maybe that was it?! So hard to know when to start tracking again at CD1 when AF is being weird. Maybe test again in a few days as well as who knows, seems strange if you've never had that before!

Good luck to everyone else testing!

I'm feeling so deflated, pretty sure I've had another chemical this month. After all the very faint lines on cheapies when dry, I took a FRER last night which I initially thought was negative, but on closer inspection, I think there's a very faint line. Do you think this is a faint positive or an evap? (Sorry, I took the test apart to photograph as I couldn't get a pic through the window it's that faint!)

Just want led your opinions on whether I should class this as a second chemical? I know that after 3 you can talk to your GP...

AF due today, 11dpo, and I'm spotting so I think it's on its way ☹️ all cheapies now also stark white when dry.

@SillyOldBear3 oh bless you! It’s incredibly hard to say until AF arrives and you get that confirmed negative - until then it’s a waiting game 😩 nobody really knows!

I had a chemical in Nov for the first time - mine was confirmed a few days before with multiple tests and digital tests! It was only that I started spotting and then it became heavier and the digital test said negative.

Its heartbreaking that you can’t do anything but let nature take its course but keep everything crossed in case! I’m doing the same for you xx

Oh I'm sorry 😩 it could be an evap though, it's so hard to tell. Either way it's shit and I'm sorry

@Yolo23 Thank you, I feel so down about it. We've only been trying since September, but to have 2 chemicals is making me worried that there's something wrong. AF hasn't started yet, still just spotting and cramps, but I'm 99% it's imminent as this is how it always starts. Do you think the FRER can be classed as positive even though it's so faint?

Sorry to hear about your chemical too ☹️ that's how mine went last month, multiple positives then bleeding at 5 weeks and fading tests. They're horrible aren't they, as you get your hopes up so much. Hope you get a sticky this time xx

Thanks @lemonyfox 💙 the symptoms I have are making me think chemical. So many evaps seems too much of a coincidence ☹️

@SillyOldBear3 sorry to read this, it is such a draining experience!! Good luck well and truly due all round I think.

So sorry you're going through this again @SillyOldBear3 😔 hoping for you that AF doesn't arrive ❤️❤️

Thanks @Apat10 and @Endogal here's hoping to third time lucky.. Will update when AF arrives, hope it's sooner rather than later!

Got my hopes set on you guys now, hope there are a few more positives this month! 🙂

@SillyOldBear3 sending you lots of love xxx

I tested today (9dpo) on an FRER and thought I could see a vvvfl - when I looked at 3 minutes. But then when I looked again half an hour or so later, it looked completely blank. I think I’m probably out. With my first born, I had a quite noticeable line at 12DPO.

Thank you @SillyOldBear3 ❤️ 9dpo now, swear I can see something super faint but it's easy@home which have indents before you even dip them 🙄 When I had my chemical I got a not even so faint positive on the evening of 9dpo, had not a thing all day previous so hoping I'll know either way soon. Had such a vivid dream last night about getting a positive test, don't know why my mind tortures me like this it was so upsetting to wake up and realise it wasn't true 🥲

@SillyOldBear3 it’s so hard! I swore that I wouldn’t test early off the back of it because it is quite natural apparantly - if you’re testing early, you’re more likely to spot it although I had severe symptoms with mine so I knew I was pregnant before the test confirmed it. A smear booked 2 days before AF pushed me into testing!

I guess though, knowing it’s happening means the Dr can try to resolve so that’s one good thing about knowing and not being blissfully ignorant. I was also feeling mixed emotions because it was the closest I’d ever come to being pregnant so it has definitely made me more hopeful - although now worried that I’m going to have endless chemicals too 😂 it’s hard work isn’t it!!

Id wait until AF is due and if it hasn’t arrived, pop and get a clear blue digital. I think there’s nothing worse than trying to work out whether there’s a line or not so I’d not put yourself through the uncertainty and get confirmation with words!

wishing you the absolute best of luck and here if you want to chat xx

10DPO today, tested on an FRER, no line. Fairly certain I’m definitely out this month. It’s a waiting game for af now. Cycle day 29 today. Onto cycle 7 😔

Hoping some other ladies have some luck xx

@CZ9294 i had a negative at 10 in Nocember and then a BFP on day 11 so you’re not out yet! Although mine ended chemically - but I was BFP for 2-3 days unfortunately xx wishing you luck still! Until AF arrives, it’s not over!

BFN on a FRER at 12dpo this morning so I’m out 😓 Flo app showing period due Sunday as I ovulated early on in my cycle - here’s to next month 🤞🏼🤞🏼
