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

@xxcxdonxx awww I'm sorry have u used a different test? Xx

@Westy22 you can get quite abit of info from that book online.. its what prompted me to get my testosterone and dhea oo and amh levels checked. Had to do that private thr hertility health. Also changed my plastic kettle to glass .....the plastic rabbit hole is not a very nice one! Cxnts what they do to our health and were none the wiser 🤬... my partner found another book tho about older couples ttc which had a few good points. One was dont give up dtd too early case opk was a false postive...youve a plan i see then before your appointment. Just keep asking for stuff, it will make time go quicker lol
@xxcxdonxx how is that even possible. The line was there 🙁 did it not show up after the time limit?
@Sez281 your bodies getting meddled with nxt mth, yoyl soon have your bfp lol did you start the pessaries this morning. Are you walking around with a chalky front bum 🤣

@Westy22 I havnt read that book. Feel like I read enough online haha. @Supertrooper101 a lot of man-made stuff has impact on the human body it's crazy I don't go their with it tho. @Sez281 forgot about that how do u find it? Xx

@xxcxdonxx oh gutted for you - it definitely wasn't daft to be excited though and I don't think it's ever a bad thing to celebrate the good moments. Hope you're ok though. This hasn't changed my belief that this is going to be a good year for us all - we're still right at the beginning 💗

Thanks ladies. I don’t know what’s happened ☹️It was just Tesco tests I used this morning and a vvv faint line so assuming it’s just not worked out with this one.
Arrgghh on to next month I suppose!

Someone had recommended that book to me too, I think I had asked about progesterone on another thread maybe but I don’t know if I can handle any more info!

@xxcxdonxx if there's still a line (albeit a faint one) I wouldn't stop the progesterone yet just in case. I know everybody says fmu is best but in my experience in the early days afternoon or evening is clearer.I don't want to get your hopes up but if there's still a vfl and AF hasn't arrived then you might not be out yet 🙏 xx

Ahh I'm sorry @xxcxdonxx 💔 you sure it's not the tesco test some tests are quite faint anyway I've read.

Maybe i won't get the book 🙈 dont need any more rabbit holes...i dreamt last night I had two positive pregnancy tests, I've never dreamt of this before so now I'm like is my body telling me something 🤣 I know I'm crazy.

@Supertrooper101 yep the chalkiness is real 🙈😂 It's actually not that bad @Jadeypie well I just inserted the first this morning after I noted bbt still rising and got back into bed so I think gravity has a big roll to play

@Westy22 I totally understand feeling deflated and that June feels a long way off. In the meantime at least you're getting your day 21 bloods etc and you never know you might get an earlier appointment 🤞 xx

@xxcxdonxx I'll stay optimistic for you, definitely sounds like you're not out yet. Different brands of tests can really vary, you should do another clear blue tomorrow to do a 48 hour comparison on same brand 🤞

@xxcxdonxx dont give up yet. Could be that the clear blue was more sensative. Try again tomorrow x
@Jadeypie kinda wish i didnt go down some of these holes i fimd myself down 🤣

@xxcxdonxx hope you are doing OK. Have you done anymore tests?

@Supertrooper101 you and me both hahah!
XX

still not af for me 🤞🏻 I definitely think these vitimins are helping. I've got alot of creamy cm today like loads thought af was here tmi sorry haha but as we do ha. How's everyone els feeling today? Glad it's warmer I'm not a fan of the snow xx

@Jadeypie that's good if the vits are helping and your cycles might be getting longer/more regulated 🤞 do you think there's any possibility of bfp this month with you being late...? Or just focused on lengthening those 20 day cycles?

@Supertrooper101 thinking of you, hope you're doing ok

@Jadeypie I'm with Hank... Any chance it's a BFP...?! I got excessive creamy CM in a couple of my pregnancies as an early sign.... 🤔🤞🏻

@SnookyPook @Hankthehonk possibly I just have no clue if ovulation has happened or not or even where in my cycle tbh. I'm just going to wait to see if af shows and if not in two weeks time I will do a test (I'm fully in no man's land) hahaha xx

@Hankthehonk oh noooo dont jinx me 😭 lol it was @xxcxdonxx but am hoping she has done another test and its ok 🙂
@Jadeypie never even thought about a bfp 🤦‍♀️ lol your gona wait two weeks to test.....really.....lol cant wait for the warmer weather. Being cold makes me so moody lol

@Jadeypie I'm with you on having no clue if I've ovulated lol I've not tracked this month and now I'm massively regretting it 🤣 my apps are saying this week is my fertile week based on the longer cycle last month so I'll give it a whirl and see what happens I guess 🤣 I'm with @Supertrooper101 tho...your really going to wait 2 weeks? 🤣🤣👀👀

@Westy22 I havnt bothered tracking since these 20 day cycles I just put when af has arrived and finished then don't look at it haha. It is annoying tho not knowing what dpo I am or even if I have ovulated. And yeh @Supertrooper101 I'm waiting because if I have ovulated I could of ovulated anywhere really haha with the cm its not fertile one so I know I'm not ovulating now so if I leave it for two weeks (if af hasn't arrived) no chance for a false negative then ha xx

@Supertrooper101 sorry wrong tag but also hope you're doing OK?!

Thanks ladies, so nice of you to check in. I’ve been kind of holding off until I knew what was going on and it was my wee boys party today so been a hectic weekend! I’m a bit in no mans land myself, done another CB test yesterday and today would say they were pretty decent positives but got more of the one step tests today as it’s a bit of a measly positive on that one. I would think at this point it should be pretty clear (14/15 dpo) so not overly optimistic.
I would normally just kind of wait and see if af arrives but because I’m on this progesterone I need to keep testing which is annoying as if it’s not viable I’m possibly just delaying af arriving. Will test again in the morning.
Clearly I’ve nothing better to do than make a collage of my tests for you all either 😂 but thought I’d attach them.

I’m in awe of you @Jadeypie for not testing! Either way it’s great news that your cycles are extending and fingers crossed for other great news too 🤞🏻

They look good to me @xxcxdonxx - I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you!

@xxcxdonxx I think they look really good too!! I've heard the cheapies can take a while to darken for some people or they don't get any darker. But am keeping positive for you. Xx

Those OneStep ones are notorious for not coming up very dark. I've used them every time and my positives have always looked similar. Hopefully you're good! I think for 14/15dpo those are looking good! 🙏🏼

@xxcxdonxx just found the first pics from this pregnancy at what I believe was 14 and 16dpo. The one with just one test on was the very first one at approx 14dpo (unsure exactly as wasn't tracking but fits dates!)
