I finished the last thread..if you want to continue your journey ❤️

I may have forgotten some. Please add🙏

It's kinda weird to be back to the beginning again 11 days before the due date of the last MMC. I'd completely forgotten about it until yesterday.

@TheBirdintheCave oh wow! Did you use a easy@home one for your fmu too? Really hoping this is your sticky! 🤞

@bunnykins123 Yep and I definitely could not photograph it. The difference is nuts.

Well AF has rocked up for me again. Not exactly unexpected....

@curliegirlie I'm sorry :(

@TheBirdintheCave ahh so happy to see your update 🥰 FMU was never my thing. I always got a better line in the afternoon, after a super long hold and minimal drinks @curliegirlie Hope u are ok. So sorry about AF 😞 xx

Mixed bag again this morning (7dp5dt) from my SMU. ClearBlue has definite progression from 5dp5dt but the Easy@Home is just as faint as yesterdays. Admittedly I did pour most of the pee away before I remembered I still needed to take the E@H so it was just from a tiny bit of pee... maybe that made the difference? 🤔

@TheBirdintheCave perhaps send us a piccie so we can see? Is this technically 12dpo now?

Not great is it 😓

@TheBirdintheCave are you able to buy a FRER ahead of testing tomorrow? Problem with the blue dye ones is they notoriously give evap lines so hard to tell, especially in comparison to the e&h ones. Saying that, I do see a stronger line on your CB test today which has to be a positive thing! I've literally got everything crossed for you, though 😘

There are no FRERs in Boots anymore :( I know the tests are right and the CB line came up blue within a minute so I'm definitely pregnant, just not sure it's going to stick around.

I think the E@H does show slight progression actually and I remember from DD2 that the ICs I was using were frustratingly slow to darken in comparison to the FRERs. Maybe grab some Boots early tests - they're no more sensitive than E@H but from pics I've seen I think they look a bit clearer 🤷‍♀️ Massive fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@TheBirdintheCave they both look darker to me especially the CB. It is still really early though isn’t it?

@LuckyMoonstone Equivalent to 12dpo so not really anymore. I'd be expecting a clear dark line on a FRER if I could get hold of one 😂🙄 Unfortunately this all really reminds me of my blighted ovum pregnancy. That was very, very slow to get going as well.

Ugh, I've just looked at my FF from the past 5 cycles. Each sodding month we actually did really well at getting at least 3 attempts within the fertile period, including often either O or O-1, yet here I am entering cycle bloody 19! Post-40 fertility is rubbish (and I never exactly found all this easy a decade ago, when I was first TTC). But this has been much much harder this time round. With DD1, once you write off my first whacky long 4 cycles, she took 6 cycles once I was on the thyroid meds, and whilst DD2 took 12 cycles, I had a CP in cycle 8, whereas this has been 18 cycles of not a sniff. And realistically I've only got a few more left, as I don't really want to be giving birth at 42.....😭. So I think I've basically got the rest of the summer and autumn to come to terms with the fact that I am done, and hopefully if it does come to doing the big loft clear out of all the small clothes by the end of the year it will feel cathartic....

@curliegirlie TTC is really shit most of the time :( I so hope you get your miracle.

@TheBirdintheCave 12dpo is definitely early days in terms of IC Progression. I remember expecting them to look much darker a couple of days after my initial BFP (obviously misremembering from DD1) and was disappointed that they were still pretty much squinters then. Keep positive! I'm rooting for you!

Ok I retested at 10am like yesterday and the E@H line is definitely darker so... phew. I'm just going to test at 10am after a 2-3 hour hold every day now as that seems to give the best result even if it's not SMU.

@TheBirdintheCave ooh that's great! I hope this is the one for you lovely 🤞🏼

@curliegirlie im sorry it really is crappy and so frustrating ❤️

Well I tested today 8dpo BFN not a shock as obv still early. I had quite a few vinos at the wedding yesterday paying for it today after not drinking for so long 😭

@MrsJGrealish how you getting on?

@bringmearainbow I've got everything crossed for you for a bfp in the next few days 😬

@TheBirdintheCave thanks hun. I don't feel any different not like I did at this point last time so I'm not sure but still hoping 🤞🏼 I don't remember having any symptoms with DS or MC1 I just had them with MC2&3

@bringmearainbow I'm still here.
Just awake. RHR yesterday was v low so I think I didn't catch. Had a dizzy spell too 😢 Think im 8/9 dpo so will test Sunday at 10dpo. Had some sort of a line on that rapid test but nothing convincing xx

@MrsJGrealish well I got an indent on my frer 🙄 luckily I can really tell the difference now there were a few times at the beginning of the year I got excited some of them are so convincing! I just had a peak at my chart my rhr has gone up which was true last time I was pregnant 🤞🏼 but could just be my body trying to extract the alcohol 😂😂

@bringmearainbow 😂😂😂 I'm actually going out to pick up new glasses so any lines I see now are highly doubtful 🤨

@MrsJGrealish I see the lines better if I take my glasses off 😂

@bringmearainbow That is a crazy chart! Very zigzaggy 🤔
