@Hopeful202592 it could be an ovulation bleed potentially but hard to say if you aren't tracking

Tadpolecat · 18/11/2024 17:59

5DPO here. Hoping third cycle lucky! I had a very BFP with DS at 10DPO so planning to test then (can't believe I managed to withhold testing until then!)

Hopeful202592 · 18/11/2024 18:10

@Mummysparrow thanks. That was my thinking. I say not tracking I mean I haven't been testing but according to my app, I should have ovulated yesterday and had ewcm. The bleeding has all but stopped now. Going to wait and see

Emiily887 · 18/11/2024 19:11

@LuxyLocket oh wow!! That’s a definite line🥹 wooo! So happy for you and praying it sticks🩷 please keep us updated! X

Hi ladies just catching up.
@Happibara i think the plan you’ve set yourself is sensible and positive thinking all the way! Sending you all the dust.

@Mummysparrow im so sorry it’s so hard when their due dates come around, you definitely aren’t out til it’s out lovely, we are all here for you over the next couple of days 💕
@JoMummyJessica almost half way through the tww for you!! I think feeling more emotional could definitely be taken as a positive sign!
@Emiily887 how are you feeling how many dpo are you now? I hope you’re feeling better from your bout of illness 😔💕

LuxyLocket · 18/11/2024 20:00

This evenings wonfdo was darker. Easy@home still very faint. Did a First Response and there is a v faint line. I think I’m just still very early and hcg hasn’t built enough yet for a proper eye catching line. I’m in the limbo of thinking that I am pregnant as I wouldn’t have the lines but doing the digital and missing AF will confirm it. The clear blue I have is less sensitive it’s 25miu which is why I want to wait a few more days as the 10miu tests are only giving me faint lines atm x

Emiily887 · 18/11/2024 20:33

@LuxyLocket 3dpo today. Think it’s going to be a long TWW🫠
Ovulated CD 19 and managed to dtd CD 14,15,17,19 and 20 so hoping we will catch this month🤞🏼🩷
Do you have a pic of the easy @ home or FRER? X

LuxyLocket · 18/11/2024 20:40

@Emiily887 You are so well covered I really do have a good feeling about your cycle this time that’s so much dtd as well as being unwell that’s very impressive 🙌🙌💕💕😂bless you.
here is the first response. Soo faint. The wondfo was much clearer.

@LuxyLocket i bloody hope so, poor DH is exhausted🤣
It was worse because it was the last thing we wanted to do with being unwell but didn’t want to lose out on a cycle either, determination at its best 😅😂
I see what you mean, the wondfo is unmistakable isn’t it, but the FRER is faint. Did you use the same urine? Xx

LuxyLocket · 18/11/2024 21:00

@Emiily887 Good man 😂😂god yes I can imagine it being the last thing you wanted to do but your commitment will be paid off I’m sure! 🤞🤞🙏
yeah it’s weird isn’t it. That’s why I’m not too hopeful. I would have thought at 13dpo first response would have a better line than that. Yet the wonfros are the only ones getting darker. Maybe I ovulated later than I thought. Yes it was the same urine though ( sorry this is so tmi) it had been sitting around in a pot for a few hours while I was waiting for the first response to be delivered by Amazon 😂 I don’t know if that would have made a difference to the hcg

I hope so - it would be such a lovely early christmas present!🥲
Hmmm it is strange BUT I don’t think wondfo would be progressing like this if it wasn’t picking anything up so I reckon it’s definitely looking promising this cycle! Will you test in the morning?🥰

OP posts:
LuxyLocket · 19/11/2024 08:14

Morning ladies
@Emiily887 I did test this morning, still faint line on the wondfo but not as dark as I would have thought for 14dpo and the other cheapies even fainter. It’s also lighter than last nights test. I will try again this evening and tomorrow as I know hcg takes a couple of days to double so I might just have ovulated and implanted later than I thought. But I’m feeling cramps today.. AF due Friday. My boobs are still swollen so I feel like it could go either way but now I’m feeling disheartened for getting my hopes up.
how are you? 💕

I have heard some people's hcg can increase over 72 hours which is normal too say may just need bit more time to build up! I understand how u feel though as I'd be same!

I feel yuk today and bit down, can't put my finger on it! Didn't test today and going to hold out for thu when I'll be 9dpo but just feel like af is due (not actually due till Mon/Tue) but just feel down in dumps!

Mummysparrow · 19/11/2024 10:09

Period has arrived so back to cd1 of cycle number 5. This is new territory for me after getting pregnant a lot quicker with both of my previous pregnancies. Fingers crossed I can get a BFP before Christmas but if honest my hope for that is dwindling

Emiily887 · 19/11/2024 16:07

@LuxyLocket sorry you’re having such a hard time of it with these tests my lovely. Why can’t they just be bloody consistent😩
Surely something is happening!! Like@JoMummyJessica said some peoples hcg rises slower than others. With DS mine hadn’t doubled as it should on my bloods and I thought the worst, next day had another blood test and it had almost tripled from the day before, so anything is possible 🥰 fingers crossed!
@Mummysparrow so sorry to hear af has risen her ugly head. It is so frustrating isn’t it. This is cycle 11 for me, I completely get feeling like it won’t happen anytime soon, every bfn / af feels so disheartening but remember this is a new cycle for you now and in a few days those feelings will turn to hope for this new cycle 🩷 sending love xx

How exciting! Where abouts in Turkey are you off to? That’ll definitely help to take your mind of the TWW - it’ll be pretty much over when you’re back🫶🏼

Hi ladies sorry just catching up and I know I haven’t replied to everyone. Thank you for peoples supportive words x
@Mummysparrow it really is the worst feeling 🩷💕I’m so sorry AF came and sending a big hug.
well, negative on a clear blue digital this evening. But still getting lines on wonfos and easy@home don’t know what to think now. I do feel like I could be pregnant but by now I’m sure a clear blue would have picked it up (it was a 10miu as well) disheartened and had a few tears with DH but trying to pull myself together and see what the rest of this week brings. I’ve decided to stop testing and just see if AF comes now.

Emiily887 · 19/11/2024 22:38

Oh @LuxyLocket I am sorry! Maybe you’re still too early for evening urine to be positive?
Don’t focus too much on ‘pulling yourself together’ - give yourself time to come to terms with that test and please don’t invalidate your feelings. It is so hard when you’ve had so much hope then it feels like it’s been pulled away. I really hope that you will get a positive over the next few days, but please know we are here either way. Sending hugs my love xxx

@LuxyLocket getting varied answers is so disheartening. I'm so sorry you're having such a confusing time. 😕 💓

Ncl31 · 20/11/2024 07:47

@LuxyLocket getting different test results is difficult. That’s for sure. Take your time to process everything. Give it a couple of days and then test again if AF hasn’t arrived.
sending you lots of strength

LuxyLocket · 20/11/2024 12:19

Hi girlies you are all so lovely and thank you so much for your supportive words I feel so held by this group 💕🩷we are all going through this rollercoaster together eh.
I rang my drs today as I’m just not coping since the mc tbh, I think I’ve just tried to carry on since it happened and suppressed everything. She was really nice and has put some things in place for me.
No testing today and will just see if AF turns up or not.
sending hugs to everyone and hope everyone else is doing ok?
I know some are well into the tww by now 🤞🤞

We are all in it together no matter where we are in our journeys. We have created such a lovely, kind and supportive community of women on these threads🥲
I am glad your doctor has put some things in place for you, it is so important to share how you are feeling. Really hope af stays away🩷
I am doing ok, 5dpo today. Just feels like this tww is super slow!😩

8dpo for me and bfn this morning! My cramping has eased now actually it's gone completely and the cold flu like symptoms are easing too! Normally I get cramps couple of days before af but not due till mon/tue!
Pretty sure it's this cold causing me to feel yuk as I'm sure if these symptoms were pregnancy related /implantation I'd get a hint of line but got nothing!
