Congrats to @pinkandredflowers and @Scarletthoping on bfps last cycle, hope all goes well in the pregnancy.

Here we go...

Ahhh this thread is so exciting! 😍So happy for you all.

I'm now 1dpo - had my static CB smiley two days ago. We bd on two days before peak, day before peak and peak day but not on ovulation day so we'll see what happens.

Anyone else still in TWW?

@GinAndBearIt90 wow! Congrats! It really is so lovely to see 1 dtd leading to the most chilled bfp. I did the complete opposite of this this month, because everyone seems to be doing SMEP, but nice to see it is possible. I wish I was chilled 😂

@SnookyPook 😭 I am so sorry AF is here... So unfair 😔 will you be doing anything different next cycle? I hate that it's a lottery, I wish I could just know at dpo 1.

@HelloMoon87 thank you. I don't think so really. It's just a numbers game isn't it. We're quite good at timing dtd I think and hopefully both pretty healthy etc. We have one DS and did manage to get pregnant earlier in the year even though it didn't end well... so just got to keep hoping and believing that our rainbow baby is close by. I think I might come off MN for a while though as feel like I'm in my head about it all a bit too much. I think that's what I will do differently this cycle! (I'll probably be back tomorrow 😂)

Really hope these whiffs of BFPs progress nicely for you all! It sure seems an exciting thread!! Good luck everyone 😊

@SnookyPook that makes sense, I also felt like I need to come off Mumsnet if this cycle didn't work. But it is literally the only thing available at dpo 1 where I can be myself and not be judged for being too crazy 🤣 keep in touch, I'm around

Has anyone ever experienced an evap on a FRER?

all these positives tests made me think sod it im doing one, did a clear blue and could see the faintest line like so faint, so thought maybe it’s an evap, did a FRER and def have a faint line it’s so so faint though that I’m thinking evap?? But I am only 9DPO so I need to wait until Sat/sun to test really! But have a stash so thought sod it

@missmae @hellomoon87

it’s hard to tell what my cycle is like as I have only been using opk for 3 cycles, first one I used the clear blue pink 2 day opk and had 7 flashes and peak day 8 but was on very light period when that happened (2nd natural cycle since off the pill) Then last month had static smile right away on cycle day 10

This month I started testing morning 8/9 and around 4/5 (one day I did test at 12pm as I thought it was later lol) so maybe there’s still a chance I’ve missed it. Currently cycle day 19 and still flashy today. Think I’m just going to hope I’ve missed it and carry on smep in case until period comes. Maybe it’s still too early after stopping pill (stopped in may)

I think I might research temping and try that next cycle if it defo doesn’t happen this time around.

@BlossomTree123 I have been hearing of evaps on clearblue, frer and easyhome for the past month on many threads. One reason why I caved with frer today was just to see if there was a slightly stronger line there, because it's still a shadow on easyhome. The only way to know is time unfortunately. I know for sure I couldn't even have had an indent on dpo 9, it was literally the tiniest shadow on dpo 10 fmu

@HelloMoon87 yes in the past I've always stopped at peak day but it seems the day or so after are still fair game!

@SnookyPook sorry to hear AF messed you around this cycle 😔 hope this next cycle is your lucky one 🤞

Feel like my chance of a joining the positive train we got going here gang! But it’s lovely to see ✨

I am 11dpo and nada on my test today, period due Sunday

meant to put chance is slipping away there oops. Can’t think straight 😂

@longingtobe23 I've got everything crossed for you!

@HelloMoon87 thanks, I’ve had a bit of a slow day pampered and will probs have a nice drink tonight and a movie 😅
I’ll keep testing until she shows but I think I’ll know my answer by Saturday

I was fully convinced this was my time - but alas I’ve started asking questions in the IVF/ infertility chats now 🥰

@longingtobe23 yeah I was convinced I was pregnant last cycle. I hope you get bfp next 2 months but regardless, it's great you have everything happening in parallel. Do you have to do anything special in the run-up to ivf?

@GinAndBearIt90 ah congratulations! 🥹🩵

I believe it now 🥹

@@HelloMoon87 I think I’d like to be offered ovulation meds first clomid or letrozole etc but not guaranteed to be offered either 🥺
lots of people say worth a try - I’m so nervous so I will weigh up the options, really not looking forward to it all. But it does keep my mind busy to just process and go through the motions 🤭

@missmae ahhhh congrats!!! How many DPO are you?

@BlossomTree123 11dpo! 😅 I have another one to do in the morning 😂

@Boobag ah okay.. it does seem very frustrating! I would just keep dtd every other day to make sure you’ve covered it this month in case you did miss it or in case you ovulate a bit later! Fingers crossed for you!

🙏
How are you feeling?

Do you want close gap between your two? Can you go private? When I had the two chemicals, I went to IVF clinic with my husband and they did bunch of tests and I got to know the process and keep my options in case things didn't work for us. I had on my mind a deadline of end of year as that would have been a year for us, we are both 36-37, and wanted a 3 year gap for our two. I felt the pressure 🙈

@HelloMoon87 I’m okay!still in some disbelief 😂 will be until my scan I think… oh and my lovely HG! Quite excited & nervous. Symptom wise, my back is so so achey today. A very deep ache it’s very uncomfortable actually.
how are you?!

@missmae will you be booking an early scan? I am thinking maybe week 8, if all goes well till then. I couldn't believe it until that FRER test and then tonight I had first "proper" pregnancy nausea. So had some cereals in bed 😂 as I was also exhausted. I haven't had these symptoms in my chemicals, so feeling positive it's going in right direction, but still terrified.
Have you told your partner? I'm guessing your sister found out with you? 😂 Hope the back ache eased. Did hg start early for you?

@HelloMoon87 i most likely will do an early scan yeah probably at 8 weeks too! And have you! I’ve had waves of nausea today, but I wasn’t sure if it was the heat or not, it's been hot today for a change. That’s definitely a positive sign! 🥹 and yes, sister first to know. She’s my better half 😂 and yes I have told him too! Nope hasn’t eased at all yet. And it started exactly 6 weeks for me, I already have a box of cyclizine ready tho🤞🏼
