So sorry if I've forgotten anyone please add them or jump on board if you see this xx

@Sez281 I get it, what a rollercoaster for you. Will be on checking for your update in the morning, keeping everything crossed for you. Sending a hug!

@Sez281 oh wow! I see them too! Oh my goodness! Absolutely get the nerves etc but I am keeping everything crossed that this is it!! 🙏🏼🌈💗

@Sez281 p.s. yes, deffo keep on the progesterone!!

@Jadeypie sorry your latest was a BFN. However, if it means that is ovulation then still a chance this cycle 🙏🏼💕

@Sez281 there lines for sure !!!! Now uv entered the new phase of complete and utter dread of what ifs 😭... its bloody hard! So plsed for u x
@Jadeypie dont give up yet...but do dtd too lol

@Sez281 the only thing you did different was the progesterone wasnt it..u knew in ur gut ur lp was too short. Arnt u plsd we all bullied you into taking it now 🤣 are you annoyed that this could have happened sooner tho if ur consultant or nhs had just listened to u?

Whaaaat have I missed in a few hours!!

@Sez281 they are definitely lines!! Keeping everything crossed for you 🥰

@Jadeypie I’ve had positive opks before bfps before so I’ll be quietly optimistic for you and if not then the opks have done their job in catching your peak 🤞🏻

Thanks @SnookyPook @xxcxdonxx for the thoughts more than anything as I know it's way too soon to even know if it's real yet 😣xx

@Supertrooper101 😂 if it does turn out to be a BFP I won't be annoyed at my doctors I'll be more annoyed at myself as those progesterone pessaries have been sitting in my bathroom cabinet for almost a year 🙈 Ive always had a feeling that I should have done it to have more chance of something sticking with an extended LP 🤔 But yes I am glad I listened to you all no matter what happens 🙏 xx

@Sez281 so exciting can definitely see the lines, hope they progress well for you!!
@Jadeypie sorry the second test was negative, but if its ovulation you'll be in the tww and hopefully a bfp to follow.

@Jadeypie Sorry I just realised I hadn't seen your post about the negative. There's a chance it may have just been diluted, or as others have said no harm dtd just in case.. I'd definitely do another hcg tomorrow though 🤞xx

@Paws4thought it's going to be a long few days I think. You and others know all about that at the moment 😣. I've also just realised that if this does turn out to be a BFP (which is still very much up in the air 😕) then we'd have conceived at the exact same time as last year and all of the dates going forward will be the exact same. It's actually quite upsetting to think about it 😢 so just going to wait and see if anything progresses over the next few days and take it from there

@Sez281 thats a sad thought 🙁.... hopefully when it progresses it will be a day or 2 out so ur not counting the same date, day x i didnt know what vitamins to get, i wanted the same as last time but then given what happened i didmt wnt to jinx myself. Its all a mind fk lol

@Supertrooper101 I totally get it. I think even if the lines get darker I won't ever relax (I definitely won't be going to pregnancy threads or telling anybody in real life 😣)

I'm not feeling confident at all, did boots test and it's only a whisper of a vvvfl and same on easy@home and one step 😕I'm praying the theory that at 10/11dpo fmu isn't as good is correct and it's better later in the day. Plus my bbt dipped a bit.. although I only got like 4.5 hours sleep so that's not a surprise 🙈 I'm so worried that it's a chemical and the progesterone is just keeping AF away😕. I'll give it a couple more days and see

@Sez281 it's so stressful and every day will feel really long until you know what's happening.
With early testing I always got slightly better results with second wee rather than fmu which I thought was really weird!
Just looked back at test photos from this pregnancy and it was 11dpo it became a definite, strong line rather than a squinter for me (had vfl 9 and 10dpo which I can see looking at them now but I doubted at the time!)

@Sez281 10/11 is very early and it can easily go faint. But didn't u say u get better lines in the evening? Maybe it's that. I've read hcg rises slow for a few days after implantation and then starts getting quicker so these next few days you might not see lines change as much. I'm not testing again till next week now I just cba with the maybe it's too early hahah. Your gona be feeling like this now with all the what ifs. But this group is here for you so you can what ifs as much as you like xxx

I've got a theory haha. That last night test cover the first few times of dtd so they are out. I've got one if I ovulated then I could possibly be 10/11 dpo so if I'm not on af next week and test and that's negative Al take today as 1dpo haha I feel up the f@#king wall xx

@Sez281 10-11 dpo is still early, could just need a bit more time for hcg to rise properly to get better test lines. That is sad that the dates will be so similar, hopefully a few days out to make it easier for you.
@Jadeypie don't blame you not testing if you can resist, it's more stressful sometimes than not knowing.

I did the clear blue weeks indicator this morning, day after AF due and its come up with 1-2 weeks, tbh I was expecting 2-3 as I'd be between 4-5 weeks just. Has anyone got experience with these? Wish I'd not done it now 😒

@Sez281 ahh I totally get it, it’s a horrible time of not knowing! With my
last pregnancy, I had a faint line at 10dpo and then total squinter at 11dpo which eventually became a real positive the following day. I do think the early days are so sensitive to how much you have drank etc.
Thinking of you xx

@Paws4thought I’ve never used the digital tests but from what I have read on these forums I don’t know how accurate the weeks are on it. Did you do a line test too?

@Jadeypie that sounds like a plan,
especially if you aren’t sure on dates. Tests are great aren’t they but they don’t half add to the worry 😩

Big hugs to everyone xx

@Paws4thought I wouldn't worry. 1-2 fits with four week fine and could be 2-3 in a few days for five I wouldn't use another one they just add more worry. If u feel u need to keep testing just stick with normal tests xx

@Paws4thought those weeks tests are not super sensitive and they are based on averages etc so if you reckon you're only just into the 4-5w window I wouldn't worry. What they might be helpful for is comparing to each other for progress ie in a week's time does it say 2-3w.

It's mad thinking back that with my daughter I didn't expect to be pregnant (didn't ovulate for a long time, on waiting list for investigations) then tested one day because boobs hurt and felt sick. I had one blazing bfp and I never tested again. This time around trying for #2 I was a full poas addict, especially after the MC.
So yes @Sez281 and everyone else, very much here for your what ifs and the ups and downs on this stressful phase. For me testing was the only thing I could do to have any reassurance, I'd hate to count up what I spent on tests...

@Sez281 looking at mine i was negative dpo 11&12 then vvvfl 13 wasnt till 15ish it started to look ok. Dont give up yet 😁... i stopped temping for that same reason. I tested everyday but cudnt cope with temps fking my mind up.
@Paws4thought i used one for the 1st time last week. Your ment to add 2 wks on so maybe in a couple of days it mite say 2-3? Ill not use one again, i just wanted to see a 3+... some ppl must spend shit loads on them on other forums cos there using them every week to make sure it stays 3+ 🤦‍♀️... @Jadeypie my days 🤯 what ....is....going.....on....with....you....🤣.... on a positive....u have ur much needed hormone app weds dont you lol

@xxcxdonxx how are you feeling today? Have you done any more tests?
No I only did that test as was feeling confident before it haha. Thank you, I did have a quick look on forums too and it seems a day can make a difference to the dates but at £10 a test I don't think I want to keep buying them to find out 🙈
@Jadeypie yeah I will stick to the normal ones from now on, don't know why I changed tbh.
@Hankthehonk I hadn't thought about them being less sensitive, think I'll just pretend I never did it and hope that no AF means all is well :)

@Supertrooper101 did you get your 3+ ? I don't know how people can afford it, I'd rather put the money on an extra scan, but yeah I guess I could have been a day or 2 too early

@Paws4thought i did last week at around 5+5......but.....my scan was shit the day before so dont know whats happening inside me so i wouldnt dwell too much on it. I bort cheap ones from amazon and that CB was the only expensive one we bort. N i only got it cos of the scan and not knowing what my bloods were at that time. Im sure amazon have a pck of two for 10pd atm x

@Jadeypie that's a great theory! Definitely test again in a few days 🙏 xx

@Paws4thought if AF was only due yesterday I'd expect it to say that, those tests are from possible conception dates and not lmp so you could have just implanted late 🙏 xx

@xxcxdonxx how are you doing? X

@Hankthehonk just tested your theory and smu was sooo much better. I mean it's still faint and I won't be calling it a BFP yet but there's definitely some hcg in there on the boots tests too 🙏

@Sez281 you can defo see that 😁... have you still no told your oh yet lol

@Sez281 ah there's an obvious line there, tentatively happy for you.
I guess at 4 weeks it really could have gone either way, might have to get the same tests as before and do another in the morning for peace of mind.
