@SnookyPook thank you lovely, I do appreciate it. I was doing quite well with staying positive but you can only do it for so long I think! It's extra important for me to know when as my DH works nights and I work days so we're like ships that pass in the night! We will get there, thank you for the boost x

SnookyPook · 15/02/2023 14:26

@Dragonfly91 I totally get you on not managing to stay eternally positive! I would be suspicious of anyone that did tbh! We all have our down days and can help pick each other up when needed! ❤️

Ah yeah my hubby does shift work and it can make it so complicated! Luckily I mostly work from home... There have definitely been days I snuck away from my desk for an hour to DTD 😂

@Fallulah great news on the new GP - seeing someone different makes the world of difference and I am so pleased for you that they are taking it seriously. Also love the colour coded list of notes - can relate!

@Dragonfly91 it is so frustrating but hang in there! I didn't get my peak until CD19 so O would've been CD20 - there is hope!! Keep going and hopefully it'll show soon :)

SaltedChoco · 15/02/2023 15:33

@AL1424 that's reassuring you got yours on CD19. I'm on 17 and was starting to despair!

AL1424 · 15/02/2023 15:40

@SaltedChoco Hopefully you get yours soon - I was getting annoyed with mine and a bit deflated as it had been day after day of flashing smiley then I got static the next day 😅 FX'd for you!!

Amadeaa · 15/02/2023 16:05

Hi all, just came across this thread…this is my very first TWW 😅 probably not lucky on my first attempt anyway but I feel somewhere between excited and driving myself mad nonetheless. Good luck to you all!

2021lady · 15/02/2023 16:21

I'm feeling really emotional atm
I've seen so so many pregnancy announcements from friends etc and I just feel so low
We've been trying for number 2 now for over 2 years
Each month just gets harder
As much as I want another baby I feel like I can't keep doing thos trying month in month out
Waiting for ovulationn waiting for period etc
I've got 1 month of letrozole length and then I think I'll call it a day
I need a rest ;(

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 16:43

@2021lady totally empathize! We are TTC baby 2 as well and I don’t know how far I want to push it. I’m booked for an HSG for 2 weeks time, but this emotional rollercoaster is stealing my happiness from enjoying the toddler I already have here. I’m so so thankful we have him!

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 16:44

Is anyone else a few days out from AF? I just stared crying as the false lines really really got my hopes up this month and I’ve stupidly been reading all the threads about people getting late positives. I don’t feel pregnant. I have all my normal PMS symptoms including very painful boobs! I usually get bad rage with PMS but this month I just feel really really sad about it all.

Due AF in 2 days!

Bridgeth29 · 15/02/2023 16:53

Hi everyone, I have been TTC my second, age 38 for a year now. I got a vvf line at 3pm. This is a photo after 1.5 hours and I know you're not meant to read it after 30mins. There was a vvf line within 5 mins but it didn't show up in a photo then... What do we think? I had lost all hope and planning to book a private fertility appointment next month and don't know if this is just a dodgy test..I'm 10dpo and with my DS the line was clear at this stage.

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 16:55

@Bridgeth29 is it a FRER? I’ve had two false positives on them, so am really wary of them now!

Id retest in 2-3 days x

Bridgeth29 · 15/02/2023 16:58

@Tophy124 yes I've read that and so don't trust it. Though I've taken 2 frers a month for a year and have never thought I've seen a line till now! There's no way I can wait 2-3 days, I'd go mad! Will retest first thing tomorrow....

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 16:58

@Bridgeth29 I do see a hint of a line!

Bridgeth29 · 15/02/2023 16:58

Also I've been spotting today so maybe it's a chemical....

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 16:59

@Bridgeth29 was it first morning urine? As 10dpo is v early!!

Bridgeth29 · 15/02/2023 16:59

@Tophy124 thanks at least it's not just me!

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 17:00

@Bridgeth29 No I definitely see something! I just had a CP and it was really clear lines and then they suddenly just stopped. Was really weird!! But I also got told as I had peed directly on the test I could have flooded the test and caused a dye run…that doesn’t make much sense to me when the tests are meant for that!

Bridgeth29 · 15/02/2023 17:43

@Tophy124 sorry about your CP. I don't understand how that can happen, it's so upsetting. No this test was at 3pm (as that's when they arrived from Amazon). But with my DS i got a clear line at 4pm on 10dpo.

Tophy124 · 15/02/2023 18:55

@Bridgeth29 test again in the morning and fingers crossed for you!!

I just did another and stark white so I’m definitely out for this month. Will be having a HSG after my next AF and I’m so scared they will find my tubes are blocked or some other reason I can’t get pregnant naturally xx

LuckyC27 · 15/02/2023 19:42

@Dragonfly91 sorry to hear your feeling down. Also on second cycle after a mmc but haven’t been using ovulation tests - I was lucky in the sense pre mmc I could sense when I was ovulating so just went by that and Flo app. But now post mmc the signs aren’t as clear so thinking of using ovulation tests but also don’t want to get obsessed if that makes sense? Or anymore obsessed than I am think I have made things harder on myself as I also read that the months after a miscarriage it’s easier to conceive so just assumed it would happen 😩

AlleycatMarie · 15/02/2023 20:33

@SaltedChoco I’m also cd17 with 6 days of flashing smileys! So frustrating, I just want my static!!

Dragonfly91 · 15/02/2023 20:54

Hi @LuckyC27 so sorry to hear of your loss. I agree completely, I used to be so easy to predict but I think everything has just gone to pot since! I only used them once on the cycle that I got pregnant, then I've felt like I need the reassurance that it's definitely happening. I think you also need to be gentle on yourself and let your body heal x

Bridgeth29 · 16/02/2023 07:28

Update - this is my test with fmu today, 11dpo. DH still convinced they are dodgy tests as the line is too light but I think it's darker than the one yesterday at 3pm. I'm 50/50 as looked at a lot of Mumsnet last night and found so many like this that turned out people weren't pregnant.

How long has everyone here been trying? And what number baby is it?

SnookyPook · 16/02/2023 09:30

@2021lady TTC no.2. Came off pill January 2022 but this is only my third cycle since my periods returned after weaning my first.
