Hi girls, I've been quiet for a while because we put our all into July and AF still came.
So incredibly frustrating.
I'm now 2dpo and trying my best to just relax. Which is easier said than done!!!! We've bd every second day for the last 5 days which is a lot less than last month, but we are getting quite exhausted with the whole process and we want to enjoy sex again!!!
I have tests, although they're just cheapies left over from last month, so I'll be testing from 9dpo which is this day next week!!!!

Tes004 · 25/08/2023 11:56

@LacedBouquet have you tested again ?? X

LacedBouquet · 25/08/2023 12:26

@Tes004 Not yet, I'm almost terrified to because of my past chemicals. I know this cycle is different because I am on progesterone suppositories but I still have that fear.

Have you?

Tes004 · 25/08/2023 14:02

@LacedBouquet I did but really struggled to see the line so I don’t know .. I feel guttered now - I’ve looked at ppls progression on the one step tests and I think early tests show up and downs of how positive they look so I will try to hold off now - but I just wanted to see that 2nd line again . I did get up around 430 am to pee ! Then tested around 630am so maybe that affected it or I’m just clinging to hope like a nutter 😞 when are you thinking of retesting x

LacedBouquet · 25/08/2023 14:21

@Tes004 Aww no that was exactly my fear! But with my past pregnancies (all early losses) I did always get a better result in pm urine so I only ever test about 6pm urine. Do you have a pic of the one from this morning? X

Tes004 · 25/08/2023 14:26

@LacedBouquet no I threw it - I was at a hotel before going on holiday and thought it I keep it I’ll keep looking at it and of course after so many minute It’s invalid anyway - I’ll prob do one this evening and see .. and if I get a line I’m not going to test for a while and just trust in it … maybe lol

LacedBouquet · 25/08/2023 14:29

That makes sense, when is your period due? Praying for a sticky baby for you 🙏🤞🏻

Boobag · 26/08/2023 10:05

@cosymama2020 just an update started bleeding this morning meaning my cycle length was 35 days which is not uncommon for people I think. Putting it down to the fact I came off the pill in may so still only 3 months from that, just a little sad as we were so consistent with dtd, fingers crossed it happens for me this next cycle. Hoping you have better luck!

so happy for the other positives in this group too, thank you all for the lovely community

ttcthoughts · 26/08/2023 11:35

Hi Ladies, I got a super faint line on an east at home yesterday and then a bit darker today. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Positivefeels · 26/08/2023 12:26

Good morning everyone! Congratulations on all the bfps! And I'm so sorry for everyone that's having a hard time right now! The journey is so rough 😭 sending love to everyone!

I'm not 100% trying to conceive but more on the lines of if it happens it happens!
I had a very early miscarriage in June.

I'm wondering if anyone would like to take a guess at when I ovulated this month? The app predicted the 24th which would be CD14. I've only tracked symtoms and not tested (wish I had now lol) Af was 11th-14th August.
I'm not sure if we DTD close enough to ovulation anyway.. what does everyone else think? Thanks for reading!

Positivefeels · 26/08/2023 12:31

We DTD 18th, 19th, 20th. Predicted ovulation on the 24th but not sure going by symtpoms? Thank you again

Tes004 · 26/08/2023 20:59

I have no idea if these one step tests are aload of crap or what’s going on !
2 days I had positive test - followed by 2 bfn and today back to a faint positive -
but in addition darker lines on ov tests too -

my mind is frazzled !

LacedBouquet · 26/08/2023 21:47

@Tes004 i wonder if it’s just so early that it’s only picking up on a certain concentration of urine! How many DPO are you? Having a higher OPK is a good sign, mine was also high which is how I discovered I was pregnant. Finally got my BFP today on a digital, hoping you get yours soon 🙏

Congratulations @ttcthoughts 😊👶🏻 May it be a beautiful sticky one 🙏✨

missmae · 26/08/2023 23:21

Congratulations @ttcthoughts and @LacedBouquet will they be may babies now?! ✨🌺

LacedBouquet · 26/08/2023 23:23

@missmae Thank you! And yep, early May babies 🥰

missmae · 26/08/2023 23:25

@LacedBouquet awee🥹wishing you the best happy and healthy 9 months!✨

LacedBouquet · 26/08/2023 23:27

@missmae thank you! I’m still nervous after my two chemicals in the past few months and despite the progesterone suppositories I’ve got implantation bleeding as well with this one but hopefully all turns out ok 🤞🏻

How far along are you now?

ttcthoughts · 27/08/2023 02:21

@missmae thank you. I’m not celebrating just yet though. I have had 2 losses this year so I haven’t got my hopes up of om
honest. But baby’s would be due 6/05 🥹

@LacedBouquet I really do feel you on this it’s soo nerve racking after losses ☹️ how far are you. I said to DH I’ll start getting more excited at 8 weeks 😂😂 at the moment I don’t feel overly excited at all but that’s because I think things are going to go wrong

BlossomTree123 · 27/08/2023 08:53

@Tes004 , I had a couple of fake positives. (But only when I wee’d directly on the stick) they were accurate when dipping into the pot. Have you got any other tests you could take? I found the first response and CB early picked mine up first.

Tes004 · 27/08/2023 09:02

@LacedBouquet I have no idea how many days P.O. I am as I’ve had strange bleeding mid cycle which I’m unsure if was period or something else but was heavier than I would expect . Did you do any more ic before your digital with lighter lines ?? X
massive congratulations for your result xxx

Tes004 · 27/08/2023 09:05

@BlossomTree123 i always use a pot ,, I’m just so annoyed with it all .. pray for a line then worry about the line , for it to go faint, then darker then still in limbo . I think I’m going to assume bleed was a period and my tests are rubbish and just re check with another brand in a week … xx

BlossomTree123 · 27/08/2023 09:15

@Tes004 how many DPO are you? And when did your bleed happen, could it have been implantation?

I read online that it doesn’t matter if sometimes your lines get fainter than darker than fainter etc..: as this is common and as long as it’s positive?

LacedBouquet · 27/08/2023 09:34

@2022ttc ill be exactly 4 weeks tomorrow so still very early days. I guess I thought it was super encouraging that my HCG seems to have quadrupled in a couple of days? Just this light bleeding is throwing me now 🙃

@Tes004 Oh yes I forgot you had that bleed! I did an ic at the same time as long as an OPK and both were darker than the night before.

I would keep testing if I were you because when so early you can get positives then negatives then positives again.

I’ve been reading so much about bleeding and it happens to 25% of early pregnancies which is high!

Period started today after xx a bloody show 3 days ago so no idea what is going on. Latest I’ve ever been, 37 day cycle! Glad I’m on now though so can start again next month and also that everything is okay. Hope you’re okay.
