In out in out and shake it all about… 7dpo

[Yolo23]

I feel as though I’m doing the bloody hokey jokey the amount I’ve been in and out of this forum over the years 😅😂

Hello!
Ive a long old story but I won’t bore you with it unless you’re interested… I’m 31 TTC our first, and currently 9dpo with a chemical way back in November. I’m just looking for some company and hopefully some positive vibes between the group so someone… anyone gets their BFP! Hopefully me too of course 🤞
We all need a little bit of positivity so let’s do this together ✨

@Maybebaby54321 wooop go you!! That’s an achievement. I’m 10dpo and had some twinges … no bleeding yet which is good although mixed messaging with implantation so I never know what I want or don’t want with bleeding. I have a really random leg cramp going on and rock hard nipples 🤣 but at this rate I’ve convinced myself anything is a symptom so who knows. I feel pretty chilled but AF due for me Tuesday.. I’m going to manage expectations and maybe test 12dpo… I also feel as though I need to know if it’s a chemical again to speak to dr so I’m going to test a little early - I’ll never believe BFP anyway so I’m reasonably managed in expectations x

@Yolo23 haha I check my Fitbit to see is my resting heart rate higher than normal 😭 why are we such lunatics 😂😂 well they say the day before ov is the best day! We've been doing SMEP the past 3 cycles and no joy! It's such a head wreck 😂

Do you not dtd during the 5 days before ovulation @Yolo23? That would give you a much better chance as sperm can live up to 5 days and would be already in your tubes and waiting for the egg then.

Quick question , I know I’m mad but I did a clearblue ovulation this morning and got a flashing smiley face does this mean at 9dpo that I am ovulating again ? Thank you 💙

@Tottenhaminmyblood I've hear if opks being positive in early pregnancy!!

@Daniki 🤣🤣 I know the feeling.. I’ve even gone as far as drawing up a spreadsheet now to work out if it would have been possible or not based on whether I ovulated or didn’t … even though, there’s no guarantee that even if you are ‘ovulating’ you’ll release an egg…. Like WHAT! 😅😂 even less odds. At this rate I wonder how the earth is so well populated

@Maybebaby54321 yeah we do this too - however the only time I’ve ever had a BFP was when we done that and then did it the day before, and the day of ovulation … so I’m trying to mirror this.
We also DDT 4 days before this month. So I’ve hit my fertile window as well as we could.
Every month without fail we’ve DTD every other in that window but haven’t managed that day OF ovulation - so fingers crossed this is my pattern 🤣

@Tottenhaminmyblood a flashing smiley is highly fertile, not ovulating if you’re using clear blue digital tests.

I had a spate of flashing ones after I ovulated before - but some people can have an LH surge more than once apprantly … it’s rare but ‘it’s called hyperovulation or multiple ovulation. It occurs when both ovaries release an egg or when more than one egg is released during a single ovulatory cycle.’
Taken from a google search x

I caved and did a clear blue early test and got a bfn . Due on next Friday but I have backache and cramps . Hope you’re all getting through ok . Anyone else tested ? Xx

@Tottenhaminmyblood its faaar to early so don’t be disheartened. I’m not going to lie..I went upstairs to use a cheapie but I didn’t have any 🤣 only 2 expensive clear blue digitals … so I decided against it. atleast it’s forcing me to wait and see! Ugh 🤣

@Yolo23 I really hope this is your month!!! You've done loads!!!!

I told my husband today, it's annoyingly ironic that we tried to prevent pregnancy for 12 years and had 4 children during that time (who are all AMAZING and I don't regret at all) and then we start acrually trying for our 5th and not for love nor money can we get pregnant!!!!!

Ughhh! Having a nightmare situation 🤣 we’re getting married in June next year and we’ve finally managed to round everyone up for my hen which will be in May… I’m at the stage where I should book what I’ve found because availability is going but sort of should wait until Tuesday as if I am BFP… timing for that won’t be great and I’d hate for people to be out of pocket or feel let down if we can’t change it! It’s such a difficult one because I’ve lived by ‘not putting things off because it hasn’t happened’ and now the timing is difficult… I’ll have to wait it out and see but I hope the place doesn’t book up in the meantime, eeeek!! TTC dilemmas eh

@Yolo23 I'd hold off booking it for this cycle as your due date would be around may! If not pregnant this cycle then go head and book 🥰

@Daniki when I went on to check there was literally only one date left!! So I’ve had to bite the bullet and book - I’m not going to ask anyone for money until next week when we know what the outcome is 😅 I’ll have a whole heap of things to change if we are lucky this month (with a wedding in June!) so figured one more to add to the mix is what it is 🤣 after trying so long, it’s probably unlikely but I’m still hopeful ✨🫶 thank you xx

So today I’ve had the tiniest bit of spotting… I mean smallest bit on tissue wipe. It’s so hard to work out what it is.. I normally have proper spotting around 3/4 days before AF.
Im currently at 3 days before AF cd25 - no horrible stomach pains that come with AF normally (as I have endo).
I checked the timeframes with when I had my first ever BFP (ended a few days after as chemical) - but I had spotting cd25 and cd26… I’m keeping hopeful that this is implantation like it was before but ughh!?! Time will only tell. How are you ladies doing?? Any updates x

@Yolo23 what colour is it? Hopefully it's implantation! 11dpo, BFN this morn! Boobs starting to hurt today which I always have before AF. Altho would of had them for a week at this point! Xx

Think AF is here 😪. I keep torturing myself, because last time I was pregnant (ended in MC) I had what resembled a period (length, duration, amount) in the first month. If it had gone to plan I'd have a one month old now.

@Yolo23 keeping everything crossed for you ! Hopefully it’s implantation bleed . Have you tested. ? Can anyone see anything on this ? I did it and rushed out the house with it but I probably shouldn’t have bought clearblue keep hearing about Evap lines . How’s everyone doing ?

@Tottenhaminmyblood how long after you did it did you see the line? I'll show you what an evap on a clearblue looked like for me about 15 mins after I did the test. Personally I won't use clearblues anymore cause of this, it's not worth the heartbreak imo, I'd probably use one of their digitalis though.

@mushroomushroom omg that is a gutting evap line . It must have been about 4 minutes before I checked as I rushed out the door . That’s so awful isn’t it . Are you currently TTC ? Xx

@Tottenhaminmyblood if a line came up within the time frame then I would be more inclined to trust it, but still be careful!

Yeah that was a particularly shit one, I did the test and it was negative and I was sad, went into the sitting room and lay on the sofa and had a nap, but really shortly after DH came home and saw the test I'd done as I'd left it on the counter in the bathroom, and he got really excited, then when I woke up I also got excited even though I knew it hadn't come up in the time frame, didn't think a line like that could be an evap 😅 period came right on time anyway, broke both of our hearts. Been TTC for a good while now, pretty sure AF is about to start for me, I'm 12dpo and have been spotting the last days, BFNs the whole time, due on on Tuesday.

TTC is crap isn't it 😅😅

@Daniki same! I’ve had sore boobs now since ovulation - but like super sore! As in sleeping in them sore, Not my usual sore…

in fairness it has been a brownish creamy colour (sorry I know that’s gross but we’re all in it together 😅🤣) bfn is still too early To be definite so fingers crossed for you! Xx

@HollyGolightly4 oh bless you. I am sorry and totally relate.. I had a chemical but a friend who Id confided in to share BFP told me at the time my due date would be august! Until that was said, I hadn’t put the two together but I’ve dreaded august coming around since that in Nov xx sending you hugs!

@Tottenhaminmyblood ive not tested yet as I only have super expensive digitals here! So on the good side, it’s forcing me to wait a bit longer… I may bite the bullet and test tomorrow though as I have two 🤪
ooo I’ve never had an issue with those ones… I never understand what’s a BFP and what’s not though so rather stick to the digital or cheapies personally!! How far into your cycle are you? Xx

Ugh I’ve got really dark brown spotting now so it’s probably spotting ready for AF 😩 time will tell.. if this month is a BFN again, I’m just accepting the fact we are going to need IVF and stop with the ovulation tests etc. I was so certain this month given all the symptoms and the planning, would be it. Such a pain!
