Hi ladies
Lets join the party for all Aug ttc girls

So I was using wondfu opk and saw the line getting darker over a few days. Then the clearblue digital showed a flashing smiley 2 days ago along with wondfu opk showing a darker line but not as dark as the test line.
Yesterday I got a flashing smiley again but wondfu opk line was very very faint!!! How could that be. I tried again later in the day and same thing. Did I miss the surge???

@MrsNT I'm sorry, I know how frustrating it can feel when you don't know where you are :(

Lushfanatic123 · 25/08/2023 15:29

@TheBirdintheCave yeah it did, I think I see something also but I think I'm worried.

Think I will do another one in a day or two

babano2 · 25/08/2023 20:32

Honestly at this rate I can’t tell wether I have constant line eyes!!
just taken this evening at 11dpo husband was able to see it

period due Sunday
took frer this am, thought I could see something but think it was line eyes and it was negative. I assumed if I was pregnant it would have appeared positive on an frer?

what do you think?

I took another clear blue digital and it came back negative.

Guess I'm out this month!

Hi ladies. How's everyone getting on?

I think I ovulated on Wednesday, and we had sex on Wednesday and the 9 preceding days (not always full of enthusiasm!!) so hopefully that did the job. However since Thursday I've had a sore throat and today fever, really hope I can shake this before implantation - because if the fertilized egg is still floating about in my womb it's hopefully not affected - or am I clutching at straws? Or might fever damage it? Maybe I should take paracetamol now to bring my body temperature down.

I hope it's not COVID, last time I had it I got a blighted ovum (caught COVID at about 4+5, discovered blighted ovum at 7 weeks).

Argh!!

YearoftheRabbit23 · 26/08/2023 10:41

@babano2 I can see a faint line on one of the photos, fingers crossed!

YearoftheRabbit23 · 26/08/2023 10:45

@Lushfanatic123 maybe too soon for the digital? Keeping fingers crossed for you too.

TheBirdintheCave · 26/08/2023 18:49

@YearoftheRabbit23 Snap! I ovulated on Thursday (finally!) and we DTD nine days in a row before it 😂 I had Covid the other week for the second time which delayed everything by a week despite my IVF scan last week suggesting I'd already ovulated 🤷🏻‍♀️🙄

I hope you don't have it.

Hey hope it isn't too late to join 😊
I think I ovulated on the 22nd, I track monthly using the cheapie OPK'S from amazon.. We go away next week so I'm hoping to get a BFP before we go.. It's my first cycle TTC on hydroxychloroquine so hoping it's had some sort of impact in alleviating my antiphospholipid syndrome!

Lushfanatic123 · 29/08/2023 18:40

AF arrived today, one day early.

Guess I'll see everyone in September's one.

Hope you all get the BFP soon.

TheBirdintheCave · 29/08/2023 18:54

@MrsBFaith Good luck! There are a few of us still waiting I think. I'm 5dpo today.

MrsBFaith · 29/08/2023 20:53

Good luck too 😊

TheBirdintheCave · 29/08/2023 22:09

@MrsBFaith Thanks! I'm pretty relaxed about it as I know we have another FET next month if this doesn't work out so we basically have a 50/50 shot then.

YearoftheRabbit23 · 30/08/2023 03:48

Hi all, so it wasn't COVID according to the PCR, phew, so I still have some hope that the fever wasn't too bad to cause harm, and I decided not to take the antibiotics prescribed (though I did ask for pregnancy safe ones). So staying hopeful. However feeling quite grumpy this morning, not sure if it's PMS or the news of some expensive repairs due in my house plus another repair scheduling annoyance.

Period due at some point next week, maybe around the 5th. If it doesn't come by the 9th I'll test. I'm 7DPO.

Good luck @TheBirdintheCave

MrsBFaith · 30/08/2023 08:58

@TheBirdintheCave Ah that's reassuring for you then 🙂

TheBirdintheCave · 30/08/2023 11:54

@YearoftheRabbit23 Glad it wasn't Covid! :)

@MrsBFaith Thanks :)

Blackberry95 · 31/08/2023 07:23

Feeling frustrated over here 😭I told myself I wouldn’t test early again and would wait until a missed period but 9DPO and have tested and obviously gutted to see a neg. This process is hurting me

YearoftheRabbit23 · 31/08/2023 07:52

@Blackberry95 all hope is not lost! Honestly with my first it would never have occurred to me to test before my period was late, it's only when I joined mumsnet when trying with number 2 that I discovered so many test days before it's due, and then keep testing even after getting a positive. It's made me tempted to test early but I'm trying to hold off as if it's going to be a chemical I'd rather not know. Stay strong!

TheBirdintheCave · 31/08/2023 08:12

@Blackberry95 I start tomorrow at 8dpo. I like to break the bad news slowly rather than all at once 😂

MrsBFaith · 31/08/2023 10:35

@Blackberry95 Bless you I know how frustrating it is! I wish I didn't need to test early but because I'm under the recurrent miscarriage clinic I have a treatment regime in the attempt to prevent early miscarriage & need to test early to start my meds.. Fingers crossed you get your BFP soon 🙂

Blackberry95 · 31/08/2023 13:45

Thanks all, fingers crossed and baby dust all round x

YearoftheRabbit23 · 01/09/2023 03:52

Noticed some brown spotting this morning so am feeling like it's unlikely this month. Last cycle I had 4 days of spotting leading to my period.
Sigh...

TheBirdintheCave · 03/09/2023 11:06

Got my BFP this morning at 10dpo. In utter shock.
