Fertile Window...

[OnNaturesCourse]

Anyone going into theirs?

I am either about to start mine, or just at the very beginning. Not got sticks to pee on just yet!

AF (hopefully won't be) due 8th-12th Feb.

@Pitstop1986 ahh maybe, it’s hard not to get ahead of yourself as I’m sure you know. I feel like I’d rather write this month off rather than torture myself for another 4 days!!
Sorry that you’re still a bfn, onwards and upwards onto the next cycle though.

Id like AF to show up now. After nearing throwing up in McDonald's I am over this waiting around and building up to it. PMS sucks more when TTC that's for sure.

How's everyone's day been?

Morning everyone.

@OnNaturesCourse hope you’re ok, are you feeling nauseous today too?

How are you @OnNaturesCourse ?

I got a negative test again, but still no period... and so it continues!

Still the same but usual AF symptoms for me, it's definitely on its way. I'm so grumpy today lol. BFN on tests this morning too. 12dpo

Anyone used these tests?
Clear Blue Easy to Read
Clear Blue Ultra Early Digital...

I used both today (honest I've not won the lottery...) as after looking at pictures of my 10 and 11DPO FRER tests I can 100% see something but I'm not sure if it was shadow or...whatever.

The CB easy to read definitely has a cross in the test box, the second line is faint but it's there and it came up right away. It's just hard to tell the colour with it being a blue dye test. I done it after a 4 hour hold maybe but I wasn't "needing" when I went.

The CB digital (which is apparently more sensative) came up not pregnant. Done after half hour or 40 mins from the above because I am ridiculously impatient...

Both tests can be done from 5 days before your period is due. I'm due in 2 or 3 days.

With the CB easy to read being so faint at 12dpo I wondering if it's caught another CP 😔 and if the digital just hasn't picked it up cos I had very little pee to give it.

If you only had a shadow of a line yesterday, there might not be enough hormone in your system yet for the digital to pick it up.

It's UP TO 5 days before your period, so some women will get a positive test, others won't. It all depends on what cycle day that you implanted on and how quickly your hormone builds up. Every woman is different.

It's also very normal to have a very faint line at 12 dpo, so don't assume that you've had a chemical because of that.

Your period isn't late yet and you did test with barely a hold. Why not try to relax (as hard as it is!) and test again tomorrow with fmu to try to get a more accurate result.

Sending you lots of hugs. The few days just before AF is due is always the most difficult part when TTC

I'm going to hold and use my last FRER tomorrow - we'll possibly tonight depending on when I actually go to bed. I'm a ridiculous night owl.

I rushed to the digital cos I just got too excited - like a child at Christmas really lol.

Then I've booked a busy weekend to keep me busy regardless.

How are you feeling today?

I am panicking that I ovulated really late, like 4 days ago- I had a lot of cm and some was stretchy between my fingers, but I put it down to an impending AF (I had the same last month the day before AF) The only problem is that we haven't dtd since cd21 and if I ovulated when I got the cm that was about cd 28/29 so I'm way out of the game...

Not tracking ovulation this month has really been my downfall! It's just adding extra stress to the situation.

I don't even feel like AF is going to start at all right now

Omg I had that too. Really random bout of what I consider fertile CM for a few days. But I'm pretty sure I ovulated around 28th / 29th going by my ovulation sticks... Now thinking I should start temping too. I did that with my 1st - didn't enjoy it tho, tiresome keeping all the records lol.

I found temping really difficult due to shift patterns at work. I found that a very early start threw a complete curveball of a temperature and so my graphs never made sense. If it works for you, then that'll be great, as you can pinpoint exactly when ovulation happens.

I think that was my downfall.

I dont have a "routine" of wake times etc and before kids I was even worse as I could do as I pleased with my sleep lol.

That and I'm super forgetful so I'd be up cleaning up breakfast before I'd remember.

Quick check in.

13DPO and negative in FRER, evap again on CB and negative on IC.

I'm writing this cycle off as I'm 99% sure I'd know by now.

Roll on summer when we will look to TTC again.

Thank you all for the support this cycle ❤️🙏 and loads of baby dust for you all xx

@OnNaturesCourse good luck to you!

I am currently having another chemical so I’m also having some time away, baby dust to all x

@OnNaturesCourse @Mrsrobinsonx sending lots of love and baby dust to you both. Take care xx

@Mrsrobinsonx sorry to hear this. Rest up and hope you feel better soon.

@OnNaturesCourse stay positive, hopefully this will be your year!
