[ManifestingBaby2023]

Hey lovely ladies!

I saw a few other similar threads, but didn't know if anyone would join me for the TWW (I'm driving myself crazy) and if anyone else is hoping for that BFP this month!

@Pitstop1986 Congratulations!! Such wonderful news 😍

Thank you once again everyone!
Omg I'm actually driving myself insane. I never thought I was this person. This isn't ok.
I had one more boots test left (from the same pack as the one I took earlier) I'd kept my wee in a cup in the bathroom (grim!) And decided to dip it in so I absolutely couldn't test any more as it's making me lose my mind. And this is the difference in lines with exactly the same urine sample. I think I've come to the conclusion that I just don't trust these tests.
I'm also using the easy at home strips as they came with the opks and I have some progression on those (but then again I did even when I was having my chemical!) So don't really trust those either.
I only have 5 easy at home strips left and no actual tests so I'm actually absolutely not testing any more. I'm so annoyed with myself that I didn't just spend a bit more and get frers to start with instead.
My GP won't do anything as I've only had one chemical before which is annoying but I get it! Can't be wasting the NHS's time and money just because I'm being completely insane 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️
Stepping away from the tests and letting nature take its course. x

Also... Massive congrats to all those who have got their bfps recently!! Sorry, I have been following but selfishly been in my own self-centred world....

@Pitstop1986 congratulations!! So nice to have some bfp on this thread. We all should be lucky!

@HannahLouD you poor thing I totally understand the obsession. Keep waiting. If you are pregnant, you have a good 9 months to go. Maybe thinking of it like that will help the days / hours not seem so important? I really hope it sticks for you and it continues. Please keep letting us know.

Im on day 6 of my 6th cycle trying. I’m doing sperm meets egg. I’ve got conceive plus lube and the fertlily cup. I’m taking vit d and exercising more to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs after 2 chemicals.
praying this is my month 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

@ElleJones1 nothing flashing up currently but then I have been to the toilet a lot

So the Evap queen is back……. Surely
not another one! AF is due in 3 days…… xx

@ElleJones1 Eeek! I definitely see something and I've never experienced an evap before - but fingers crossed there's some more colour in that tomorrow!! X

@lucya66 thank you so much! These were my tests today at 14dpo (didn't step away from the tests 😶😅🤦🏻‍♀️🙈) so feeling a little bit better about things... But obviously still very early days and no where near out of the woods yet... Just trying to stay hopeful 🤞🙏
I'm sorry to hear about your chemicals :( I've got my fingers crossed this is your sticky month! 🤞

@ElleJones1 I defo see colour in that! 🤞

@HannahLouD thats amazing! So happy for you! Xx

Hi everyone, just joining this thread because I’m going mad. I’m pretty sure I know when I ovulated (lh tests and temping). These are first response tests from 12 and 13 DPO.

Before this I had 5 days of very light brown spotting on wiping and very sore boobs for over a week. I’m now 2 days late and my temperature is still high. This is all similar to my first pregnancy which ended in a MMC at 7 weeks in November.

Are these evap lines? Is this a chemical? Any thoughts? Was really hoping todays test would be stronger 😔

I’m so sorry, I really don’t know. All my frer tests have had faint lines over the last few days but all others are negative! I hope this works out for you xx

@LeopardLover this was todays frer xx
i don’t know what I think about it 😭

15dpo and got my dye stealer! Feel like I should stop testing now as I don't want to get stressed if it doesn't get darker 🙈 but I have 4 frers left now as I ordered a load off amazon that have arrived today 😅 I am hoping and praying this is a sticky one! 🤞 Don't want to get my hopes up or get excited though...
I'm worried because I don't really have any symptoms... I feel completely exhausted but I'm always pretty tired anyway. I feel like I have on and off tingly nipples, but only when I actually think about it. And I had some nausea a couple of days ago but nothing since so I honestly think I'm just symptom spotting and it's all in my head.
I think if I get that far I'm going to book in for an early scan... I just feel like something isn't quite right. But maybe I'm just paranoid after last month 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ElleJones1 how many dpo are you now?
@thsv I've never had evaps with frers (although I know so many people have!) Mine have only ever been stark white or it's been a bfp (last month and this month)
Got my fingers crossed for you girls that things progress and you get a nice bfp pink line soon! 🤞

@HannahLouD OKP says I ovulated on 19th so should be getting dark lines now really?? 14dpo! Xx

What should I do ladies,

so I have to apps and never did ovulation tests, using the apps guess of my ovulations they cam up with 22nd and 24th anyway I dtd 3 times that we to cover all basis

course that leads me to say I could either be on OPD days 11 or 9

I have t tested today because I have BFN for 2 days pervious, would you test tomorrow ???

@ElleJones1 what is the chance of getting two evaps!? 🤔 I can definitely see a line!! I didn't test with my first until 18DPO and it was a good line but wasn't dark dark. I think test again in 48 hours!! X

Back away from the tests 😂 this is all good news! I didn't have symptoms with my son, just bad cramping at about 16/17DPO!

I booked a test at 8 weeks because there's a good chance of seeing a heartbeat then. If you have a really early scan and you don't see it, you can end up getting even more freaked out xx

@HannahLouD do you have photos of early FRER? I'm 12dpo and my boots early tests have only progressed slightly 😩 FRER has progressed since yesterday morning though. Driving myself crazy and had spotting since yesterday as AF was due x

@LeopardLover stepping away!! 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️
Yeah I was thinking I'll leave it a couple of weeks and if I'm still pregnant then I'll book in for a scan at around 8 weeks.

@Angelselevenx DO NOT TRUST BOOTS TESTS!!! I was totally all for them last month and this month until they gave me daily heart attacks... So here are 10dpo with smu and 11dpo with smu then the top 2 of the next picture are from 12dpo fmu (same wee and look at the difference!!!?) And the bottom one is from the evening of 12dpo so I obviously assumed I was out.
Went and got some frer and then I've had this progression on them with smu from 13dpo to today at 15dpo... I'm hoping the frer are more reliable! 🤞
I've got some early frer pics from last month I'll attach them in a different comment :)
Fingers crossed for you!!! 🤞x

@HannahLouD thank you so much, that gives me reassurance. I've taken FRER 11 & 12 dpo and there is clear progression, the boots there is progression but literally only slightly. I know 11/12dpo is SO early but still 🤣 hoping they get darker by tomorrow morning which will be 13dpo onwards.

Have you had spotting at all? Ive been googling and it says light bleeding/spotting is normal but I'm such an over thinker. Going to wait to text again until tomorrow morning and hope it's darker again 🤞🏼

@Angelselevenx yes can defo see progression on your frer! Bin the boots ones! 😅

These were my frer last month... 10, 11, 12, 13 all fmu, then 13pm then 14 fmu then started bleeding about 5 days after that x

@Angelselevenx never had spotting before, no, but heard it's not uncommon!x

What should I do ladies,

so I have to apps and never did ovulation tests, using the apps guess of my ovulations they cam up with 22nd and 24th anyway I dtd 3 times that we to cover all basis

course that leads me to say I could either be on OPD days 11 or 9

I have t tested today because I have BFN for 2 days pervious, would you test tomorrow ???

@Kirstyddd I wouldn't test this early, but that's me! 😅 I like to leave it as late as possible and hate spending money on FRERs. Maybe give it another 48 hours? How long is your cycle? X

@Kirstyddd That is not a reliable way to track ovulation you could have a shorther or longer luteal phase and be missing your fertile window. If you don't do opks you could try bbt to confirm ovulation. Cycle tracking apps automatically mark ovulation 14 days before af.

An update: a negative test on a boots early test this morning on 14DPO, a big BBT dip below my line and I’ve started spotting redder. Think I’m out. Reading reviews for first response it seems false positives like these are common. Ugh.

With the spotting and painful boobs this month I’m suspecting this might be a very early chemical. Do they count as one of the three miscarriages you need to have before getting investigated?
