Happy birthday to @Lalaland13 's little man! 🥳

I'm not 100% but I think when I was pregnant the first time round I tested positive super early, like 10dpo or something. But the second one was 14dpo or 15dpo? So it's not over till it's over. Haha.

I'm getting a bit down too. I just dropped my child off and saw one of the school mums I've not seen for a while, and she was showing off a lush baby bump. I'm guessing she'd just had her scans etc and was ready to "come out", so to speak. I am so jelly. 🙈 I'm 13dpo and still testing negative, but getting super positive opks. Don't know what it means but I wish the blazing lines were on the other test! Grr.

Tested this morning 14DPO and what I think was a negative massive blue smudge where the line would be. Will pick up some more tests later and test again tomorrow. Don’t feel AF coming but don’t feel pregnant either no sore boobs just a feeling of nausea but that could be because of my job!

This is true! I just feel headache coming on and a bit low. Usual AF signs! Was early last month - wonder if the same again!

Awh thanks! Was his actual bday last week but party today - as I am disorganised 😂😂 got one newborn and one pregnant coming!

oh so strange positive on the OPK! Hopefillt becomes the HCG soon!!

@Rosyposy26 Argh that's annoying isn't it. I sometimes do a test and the dye runs all weird and it's all inconclusive. Frustrating! Hopefully you'll find out for sure tomorrow.

@Lalaland13 Aw I hope you all have a lovely party. Bet it's difficult with the newborn and the pregnant guest. I think I'm usually ok seeing babies around (to some extent), but pregnant bellies make me so jealous! Obviously I'd never say any of this in real life. Lol.

That’s what it looked like, looked like there was a line but then it had blue dye. I’ve never had evaps before with CB. So will see.

Grr. 14dpo and bfn. I am starting to believe I'm out. I don't know why I started messing around with opks this late in the cycle because the super positives gave me false hope. 🙈 I'm going to patiently wait for AF now and start my new supplements and things for next month. 💪🏻

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Hey
Thank you for your msg..
I had yesterday to rest etc.

Im ok ish.. thank you.
Very ready to fly on hols soon.

I asked the consultant if there was anything i could do ( during a chat before procedure) - he said - just keep attending colonoscopies..

I feel like they didnt expect to find as many as they did - - they had to ask 4 extra pots / labels etc

Awaiting histology..

They were all quite small

I have a gp appt next week anyway ..

Might also ask them to re do my CRP blood test as with many polyps now removed - - maybe that inflammation score / marker has now maybe decreased

I feel smaller / less bloated since having had them removed..
But - i also got an ibs diagnosis late last year and yeah - bloating can be a thing..

Lovely & sunny here today..

Wishing you all a lovely weekend

Thinking of princess kate & all those going through cancer diagnosis

So iv started day 1 testing at 7dpo snd attached a pic below of my baseline and the today. Still see a vvf line though so guess its negative?

Hope all comes back okay @worldwidetravel2017 - good you had the appointment! Are you okay now to get trying again?

ah sorry @BiscuitDreams 😔 I didn’t even bother to test today! Headache is very much my AF one so am also sure am out!

Ohh yeah a stark reminder to be happy for own health @worldwidetravel2017 re princess, so sad and the media has been so horrid.

Have you got the app? That's how I got my results. On the one positive day I had there was still a very faint line on the strip. So I don't think it necessarily means a negative result - especially given your baseline it's clear progesterone has gone up quite a bit.

@BiscuitDreams so frustrating I'm sure - fingers crossed for next time!

Hey, yes the app is terrible with the reading, i have just done this mornings test and there is only one line… not even a faint line nothing so to me that should be positive but the app scored is very very low?!

Just wanted to thank you all for your support over the last year and a bit. We had a 12 week scan on Thursday and there was an albeit disgruntled, but cosy sleepy baby in there. X

@worldwidetravel2017 I hope that your recovery goes well and that the doctors have all the answers you need from them over the next few weeks. Sending you love and support- you are one strong lady and you should be so proud of all the work you’re doing to get your body as healthy as possible. X

I’ll be stepping back from this chat now but will pop in now and again to catch up with you all as I’m quite invested in your journeys. Also, my mind is absolutely blown by all the progesterone testing!! So many positives and negatives and sticks to pee on! You’re all working so hard for these very wanted babies xxx

Thanks so much. Thats so kind of you & means a lot

Lovely to hear your update too..wishing you and yours all the best :)

Oh really? That's so weird. No second line sounds like it should be a clear positive - might be their tech can be a bit dodgy. Maybe drop them an email with pictures, see what they say: [email protected]

Yes very strange, have a look? Just incase my eyes are deceiving me but it looks only one line to me. I will drop them a message thank you x

Another negative test @BiscuitDreams am officially out too! Oh so depressed at the mo about it! I mean wtf am I going to do! For a friend who is starting to try again in June! And will be pregnant before me 😢😢 any tips? I don’t know what more we can do tbh ! How much sex do people aim to have and when?! Xx

The only month we got pregnant in the 14 months we have been trying for (ended up CP) was the month we DTD once on ovulation day.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. Just so frustrating!

@ThingsLineUp they replied and said I took the pic at the wrong angle and it was in fact a 7 so very positive and they amended my chart. Just done another and 7 again so if tomorrow’s is the same it will show a successful ovulation. Xx

@Xxfifixx89 Ah very good, that's reassuring. Hope it's your month!!

Was naughty and done a test but bfn which expected at 9dpo🤣 extremely sore nipples today so nothing nee and just feels like af is on route🤦🏻‍♀️

Hope everyone is okay!

AF showed up yesterday - so damn painful these days too.

Was reading some other threads - someone said that a TSH level above 2.5 and you can’t get pregnant? I checked my results from December and it was 2.8! Anyone know if this is true? From googling it says it can mean unsuccessful implantation? Some of the foods to try to correct it I don’t eat- but maybe I can try to focus on the ones I do! The comment caught my eye as they said most doctors think anything under 5 is fine for TSH but don’t know the TTC implications.

Hello - I’d like to join?

I’m 37 and OH is 41, hoping it isn’t too late for us. We’re trying to conceive our first. We’ve just moved into our new house, which is across the road from a lovely nursery and primary school. This will either be a good or a very bad decision depending on whether we manage to conceive!

i think ovulation was yesterday / today although I’m not tracking. Just going off CM for the fertile window, plus the app, and hoping for the best.

Well 11dpo and had really thick creamy CM so think im out as i dont think thats a sign of pregnancy. Feel absolutely normal as well 🤦🏻‍♀️ no sore boobs nothing! Will test tomorrow at 12DPO
