I hope I have got you all, please add anyone I've missed and I'm sorry if I have! Xxxx

@bringmearainbow no pregnancy found so they think it was a chemical 😔 xx

@Angelselevenx I am so sorry, awful news xxx

@Floralsandsmiles twinges are a good sign 🤞🏼

@Natty83 oh I feel that pain I'm rubbish at waiting too. Were all your frers from the same batch numbers?

@Angelselevenx oh lovely I'm so so sorry. Did they scan you or just do a test?

@Angelselevenx oh I’m so sorry 🙁 sending you lots of love ❤️ look after yourself xx

I’m 9/10dpo today and I said I’d try my hardest to not symptom spot but I’ve had some almost painful cramping/pulling in my left hip/pubic bone!! Hard to ignore when it’s almost painful 🤔

Aww I'm so sorry @Angelselevenx 😞 this is awful! Xxx

@bringmearainbow they were a 2-pack so assuming the same but can check when I get home x

@Natty83 @bringmearainbow @Seasidegirll thank you. They scanned me internally, said my lining had thickened so it was preparing itself, but no pregnancy. Had to have blood tests to rule out ectopic. You never think it's going to happen to you so it's heartbreaking. But onto the next cycle we go 💔

@Seasidegirll got my fingers crossed for you!

@Angelselevenx So so sorry to hear this, sending you massive hugs! I have been there and it sucks, take care of yourself

@Natty83 ah ive heard wondfos are good, I think if youve had positive digital and wondfo the FRERS are faulty? I agree about the waiting, I Hate it and there is so much in TTC!

@Seasidegirll sounds promising!! FX

@AlleycatMarie Im ok, had a rubbish month with lots of illness which caused issues at work. Looked like I tried to Ovulate twice and caught both but only just managed Peak day and day after and guessing my body wasnt in the best shape anyway so didnt have high hopes but was praying for a miracle after my chemical last month! Now on 14DPO and waiting for af, no preg symptoms and bfns so definitely out. Been the longest month ever, just want to start agan now.

@Seasidegirll sounds positive sorry they are painful though that bit sucks 🤞🏼

@Natty83 if the negatives were from same batch I'm wondering if it's just a crappy batch of tests because that is so strange 🤷🏼‍♀️

@Angelselevenx I didn't think they could see anything that early it would be like looking for the smallest pinprick 🤔 I hope it isn't ectopic 🤞🏼 it's def a shock and heartbreaking sending love your way ❤️ we're here if you need us

@bringmearainbow I think there should be a sac at this stage but I received a not pregnant digital this morning after having a pregnant 1-2 weeks yesterday so at least I was prepared before I went in! Thanks hun appreciate it! I'll be okay just heartbreaking, waiting for the bleeding to stop whenever that may be then I'll be collaring OH again 🥲

@TunnocksTCake oh I’m so sorry you’ve had such a crappy month 😞 Being ill is horrible without the stress of work and then thinking it means your body isn’t in the best shape to conceive. Do you have AF symptoms? Still holding some hope for you but if not then I hope af starts soon so you can just get on with next month.
It feels like I was only in the 2ww 5 minutes ago and now here I am again! Feel like I’m wishing my life away by waiting for the day I can first test, the day I think a positive would show, af to start, af to finish, fertile period to start etc. It’s exhausting! Xx

4dpo… cleaned the sofas and stairs… painted fence yesterday, whatever next but keeping my mind off it 🙈

So sorry @Angelselevenx 🤍 sending love and positivities for next month!

@lottieb92 🤣🤣🤣 i hope the 2ww spurs me into some cleaning to take my mind off things!!!

@AlleycatMarie im off work (Easter hols for me) the whole TWW so I knew I had to motivate myself some how 🤞🏻 I am a little exhausted though now 🤣

so many announcements around me these last few days I’m trying to keep from spiralling into jealous mode … been TTC for so long and with December being the last month for 23 baby, I think I’ll feel all kinds of weird knowing id be trying next time for a 2024 baby! As we’ve been wanting this since 2020…

ah well what can we do ey! 🥲

Hey ladies i recognise some of your names from other threads im in, hoping I can join as we're in the same TWW and I'm driving myself bananas testing early 🫣 not sure when i ovulated as I didn't want to do the whole opk thing again but AF due the 14th and I'm testing negative. I know I used to ovulate early in cycle like day 9/10 but this cycle going my CM it would of been day 14 so hopefully still in with a chance 🤪
Congrats to all with positives, good luck to all still waiting and sorry to read what you're going through @Angelselevenx ☹️

Thank you @Daniki.

Just out of interest does anyone else have an 11 day luteal phase and gone on to have a successful pregnancy? I've been non stop googling as you do, wondering why and what ifs and whether it's because of my LP or anything to do with me. I know there's never any answers for CP really but I do wonder. They say short LP is 10 days or less so I'm over that threshold but only just.

@Angelselevenx I have a 12day LP and have had two children successfully. I believe 11days is okay. Do you take supplements? I think it’s vit B that lengthens LP

@Mummyme87 that's reassuring to know. Yeah I do I have a vitl supplement subscription and have coQ10, Omega 3, a mineral supplement and a fertility multivitamin with all the usual zinc, magnesium, folic acid etc in there

@Angelselevenx I've had a look at my app and on average I get my period on 12dpo so I think that means 11 days LP? Does it start from the day after O? but not always, sometimes it's 11dpo or 13dpo and there's 1 cycle I got it on 14dpo but that cycle was a chemical.
I have had 1 successful pregnancy, he's 18 months now. So it is possible, took us a couple of years to get him but no way for us to know if LP was a factor xx

@Natty83 thank you, maybe I'm just overthinking it trying to find answers 🫣.

I normally have 31 day cycles, cd1-cd8 is my period (I've always had long periods), cd21 ovulation day and then period comes cd32/cd1 so everything is classified as normal and regular.

How are you doing? how are your tests looking this morning? Xx

My temps went up again could this be a good sign or is it normal. Also I have been waking up covered in sweat and my boobs have been sore but they usually get sore just before af and I still have 6 days to go.

@emmatcc1 that looks like a good sign to me!

@lottieb92 it’s so hard when you’ve got nothing to distract yourself - time goes even slower!!! Dh is away but mil is coming to stay for the long weekend so I think that will distract me!!
I totally get what you’re saying about the end of year thing. I keep thinking how 2023 will be another year where a baby doesn’t arrive. We’ve been ttc for 2 years now. It doesn’t help that my team at work have had a spate of pregnancies and everyone keeps joking about sitting on a certain chair.
Have you been for any testing? Xx

@Angelselevenx it's so hard because I always look for a pattern and there just doesn't seem to be one, there's so much dumb luck involved. Like this month we only dtd once and I had the flu, and eating so many cough sweets my blood sugar must have been all over the place, so why did that catch when in the last three months I'd been eating right etc and we'd been exhausting ourselves trying for every other day?
The lines on the ICs are getting very gradually darker, not as much as some I've seen posted but moving in the right direction. I'm staying away from the FRERs/digitals etc, a bit scarred from the 2 negatives. Consistently though I'm fainter for fmu and stronger in the evening, which is weird.
How are you? xx

Interested to know @Mummyme87 , is this vitamin B complex? Xxx
