Ok so I am 10dpo and have been feeling really nauseous and dizzy. Period due Fri/sat and I just went for a wee and a big clot came out. Wtf! If it is AF it’s very early.

Hello girls, I wanted to share this for science and for whoever is looking for Mumsnet threads in the future, with the hope that my chart can help :)

I just wanted to share my chart, which is an "ugly" chart with crazy temperatures, you can't even confirm ovulation per "3 consecutive higher temperatures than the previews 6 ones" and all of that considered, we however got pregnant 😊 it's still early days, I'm today just 22 dpo, but until now everything looks to be fine, I got blood drawn and there everything was fine (specially progesterone I was curious about, since my temps were so crazy). I got a clear blue digital +3 weeks today also. I find my line progression also good, I'll also attach pics of HcG line progression and LH line progression post BFP (I did those ones for science 😂 and fun).

I wish everybody who is reading this to relax if you don't have text book temperatures or charts and wish you lots of baby dust and that you get your BFP soon ✨✨✨✨

This is really useful. What app and tests are you using?

I think my period has just started so I can have a go at this next month.

pcbrb · 17/12/2024 17:11

@TruthUnwinding I used Kindara to chart (a lot of people use fertility fried, but I personally found Kindara's interface and method of charting friendlier). For the LH strips I used the easy @ home ones with the pregmom app, and for the line progression I used cheapie HCG Strips (mines are from Accubio, but there are a lot of cheap brands). To learn about charting, BBT, CM etc I read the book Taking Charge of your Fertility and I loved it and learnt a lot about my body and my cycle, I recommend it to everybody 🫶🏼

Hello girls... I've been reading every post on this thread and wishing you all baby dust. I was in the October TTC, I fell pregnant but had a chemical a few days after my period was due so updated the November thread with what had happened as I had to go to the EPU.

I thought I was absolutely not pregnant this month, I don't have any feeling that I'm pregnant but my period didn't start today and I always have a 27 day cycle. I got home from work and thought why not do a test even though it'll be negative, I'll just wait for my period and that's that. As soon as I did the test it started turning pink but I feel like it's so light and it's a VFL for the day my period would be due?

I've drank lots of water today and my urine (sorry TMI) was almost see through.

What do you think? Obviously I'm stressed and concerned the same will happen again... I've taken so many pictures (don't we all LOL) so I've attached 5, probably unnecessary but they're there anyway.

I hope you're all ok and I'd like to know what you think, I know it's faint so I'm just stressing really Xx

@HNM hello, I am sorry for your CP.. and about your test today, imo it's not a super faint line.. it's faint but it's super easy to see :) cautious congratulations and hope that this one is a sticky bean ♥️♥️ keep us posted!

PrincessCAC · 18/12/2024 00:13

My partner is a bit hesitant which is making me nervous. He's sad to leave our fun partying behind. I get that but it's the only way... I'm not pushing him, that never works well. I might be TTC next month

Sorry to hear about your CP - I'm just experiencing my 2nd TTC baby no2 (first one was in September). I also had 2 CPs before baby no1 (hoping the pattern repeats 😉) so I understand your anxiousness completely. However, I don't want to give you false hope, but I've never had a line that strong on that particular brand of test with any of my chemicals! Def try an FRER or even a clear blue digital in the next day or 2. Tentative congrats lovely!!

Oooh I really hope this is the start of something for you!!!

Oooh I really hope this is the start of something for you!!!

Thank you. It seems AF is here so I’m out of the game this month, but it has been really helpful to be on here!

i think the low dose aspirin was making me dizzy and nauseous, has anyone else experienced this? On the plus side I'm having less period pain this month!

fingers crossed for everyone else!

SarahB88 · 18/12/2024 07:47

Well my squinter is no longer a squinter!

I’m actually in disbelief, this was just our first cycle trying and I’m nearly 37!

Congratulations! Definitely no longer a squinter! 👏

littlefox90 · 18/12/2024 08:48

AF due today and day dpo 10. Done a HCG test this morning and not even a squinter 😒 Hoping I'm not out as I've had some watery discharge rather then the normal creamy before AF arrives.

I didn’t get a positive test until 14DPO yesterday and it was a proper squinter. Only clear today then confirmed with the digital test at 15DPO so there’s hope!

HNM · 18/12/2024 09:01

Congratulations @SarahB88 how exciting! Xx

@pcbrb Thank you, keeping everything crossed... It's so stressful.

@MummyV2021 Thank you for your reassurance. I've done another test this morning, so about 12 hours later and I feel like it's a tinyyyy bit darker? I know I should wait a couple of days but I feel like I'll probably test again tonight. I've added a picture, the bottom one is from this morning Xx

Your line is darker than mine and I got 1-2 weeks on a digital test. Maybe try a different brand of test to see what comes up? Looks really strong though.

Yes I'd say that is a little bit darker for sure!! I'd be tempted to do a digital tomorrow if I was you!! Eek fingers crossed!!
