Hello,

I am very much a newbie to this (first post), I am 34F in a same-sex relationship and we did our first unmedicated IUI last week (now 4dpo).

Is anyone else currently in the TTW and would like to chat?

I honestly didn't realise how slowly time would go, feels like these 4 days have taken forever.

Hi so I've been having the spotting since Thursday and stillno full blown period .did a test Friday when 12po but negative could I still pregnant

I suppose anything is possible until you have a full blown period. Are you certain on your dates?

Bex4567 · 07/10/2023 21:42

What u been What dates?

Muddysocks1 · 08/10/2023 07:51

My temp dropped this morning and I had a bit of pink cervical mucus/spotting yest so I reckon my period is coming today. What a rollercoaster of a month though!

kat167 · 08/10/2023 08:01

@Muddysocks1 Ah, I'm sorry.

I think I'm also out. Took another CB early test this morning. There was a very very very faint line, but I'm thinking it must be what people talking about with the blue dyes sometimes showing through.

Not planning to test again unless AF doesn't come on Wednesday. But to be honest, I'm feeling pretty low about it.

Muddysocks1 · 08/10/2023 08:36

Sorry to hear that @kat167 😞 as they say, not out until AF arrives so you never know 🤞🏻

SnookyPook · 08/10/2023 08:47

Is anyone else not testing early? 11dpo here, AF due Tues/Weds and I don't normally test until she's due but I do find these last few days tantalising. Anyone else a slightly reluctant waiter?!

Are you certain of your ovulation date? We're you taking ovulation tests? I only ask as I don't atm, I'm just using my Clue app prediction.

Polkadots458 · 08/10/2023 10:06

So sorry for bfn’s/Ag arrivals. It’s an awful feeling isn’t it, each month that I’m not pregnant I seem to sink lower and lower and it’s hard to get out of. Last month I really had to give my head a wobble.
Each month, we get a fresh 25% chance so try and just concentrate on rolling onto the next month.

I am only 7dpo so still no idea. 🤞🏻

fr4zzledmum · 08/10/2023 10:09

9DPO today and I'm testing negative. I'm not going to test now until 12DPO, as that's when I tested positive with my DD. I have a feeling in my gut it's not my month this month though. I think I'm going to get some ovulation tests for the next cycle, to try and pinpoint my ovulation date better than my Clue prediction.

@SnookyPook I admire you not testing early - honestly, we could all save ourselves a lot of stress not testing early Grin

@Muddysocks1 @kat167 Fingers crossed, it's not over until the fat lady sings.

Bex4567 · 08/10/2023 11:06

Baby dust for all of you..let's hope next month is our month

PrincessPrawn · 08/10/2023 14:00

Not having much luck on this thread are we! Fingers crossed you get a darker line in the next day or two @kat167

I’m 99% sure I’m out. The wonderful AF is due today and still getting stark white tests. Looks like I’ve got a pretty short luteal phase though as I’m only 11DPO which might hinder things a bit. Any tips on extending it greatly welcomed!

fr4zzledmum · 09/10/2023 10:57

Morning everyone, how are we today? 10DPO for me, but I'm not testing until 12DPO.

Been up since 3am with a very clingy 4.5 year old - think this is a test for whether I can handle two Smile

Twomumfamily · 09/10/2023 11:11

@fr4zzledmum I am 11dpo and tested negative today and can feel AF coming so think I am out for this month. Don't think I will test again till the official test on 14dpo.

Getting ready to fork out for another round of IUI - I feel like this is going to be a very expensive hobby ha!

Fingers crossed for some BFP's in the next few days!!

AF is due today (13dpo) but feel like it’s trolling me! Have had a few bits of pink CM but no proper flow yet. My LP is usually 12-13 days but have been taking vit b6 to increase progesterone so it could be lengthening!

Muddysocks1 · 09/10/2023 11:17

Fingers crossed for everyone waiting to test 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

SnookyPook · 09/10/2023 12:00

@fr4zzledmum ah thanks. 12dpo today and my pre-AF cramps have started so suspect she's on her way.

@Twomumfamily ah fingers crossed she doesn't appear and that you get some good news over the next few days ... 🤞🏻

@Muddysocks1 oh don't you love when AF trolls you?! Are you like me and holding off testing? Good luck...!

Muddysocks1 · 09/10/2023 12:07

@SnookyPook i tested up to 10dpo and was negative, so I think I’ll only test tomorrow if AF doesn’t arrive today. I’ve just got a feeling she is coming too.. I’ve had a few really light periods lately too so this could be another one that just seems like a few days of spotting

zobodo · 09/10/2023 14:38

Now at 9DPO and made the mistake of testing with an easy@home (not even FMU or after a hold) and of course it’s a BFN as expected. I didn’t get a BFP with my DS until 12DPO last time so I should know better 😂

OMGTTC · 09/10/2023 16:54

I’m 11DPO and have just got the very faintest of faint positives on a pink dye test… not going to count my chickens just yet but will re-test in a couple of days!

JJM13 · 09/10/2023 17:35

I’m 8dpo , metallic taste , constipation and sore boobs … all symptoms i had with DD and MMC in April . AF is due sunday , can’t decide if it’s worse to test and see a negative or to wait for the weekend 😬

Muddysocks1 · 09/10/2023 17:48

@OMGTTC exciting!! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

Bex4567 · 09/10/2023 17:53

Fingers crossed for anyone still in this month

kat167 · 09/10/2023 18:29

AF is due in two days. I keep looking at pictures I took of the CB early detection tests to make sure I'm not crazy and there really was a faint line. But, it didn't get stronger from Friday to Sunday, so not sure what to think of that. And my pink dye tests are all BFN.

I wish I'd hadn't tested early because this has been an emotional roller coaster. I'm keeping my expectations low because it doesn't make sense that the line wouldn't get stronger if I were truly pregnant.

zobodo · 10/10/2023 08:48

10DPO, the vivid dreams are something else. Tested this morning with a boots early result and BFN and a cheap strip test BFN, I know I’m not out until AF shows its face but I just want to know already so I can focus on what to do next. I just don’t feel very hopeful this month.

I think I’m going to hold out now and assume AF is arriving as usual and if it doesn’t then test again. Hope everyone is feeling okay!

Twomumfamily · 10/10/2023 11:14

Ah I am out this month, AF has arrived (2 days early)! Back to CD1 :)

Fingers crossed for anyone still waiting - hopefully, we will get some BFPs' on this thread soon! x
