Morning everyone! I'm jumping back into this chat - I was in the original Feb thread but it was moving so fast I struggled to keep up! So nice to see some other BFPs in here! I got my BFP yesterday at 10DPO (cheapie) and have tested again with an FRER this morning. These lines are already way stronger than my previous chemical pregnancy in September. My lines for my early MC in December did get slightly darker but took a long time and weren't this dark this early so I'm just praying this is a good sign. Trying to be positive but not wanting to get excited. First hurdle is getting past Friday (AF due) and then if I get a week past that I'll book a private scan for 7/8 weeks I think! Wanted to join in for the solidarity of anyone else feeling a bit apprehensive with a BFP too! Sending baby dust to everyone still waiting for theirs!

@carolinep3 anything yet? We are same DPO, and im in the same (non)bloody boat. No AF and BFN

@Mumzydarling12 Congratulations. So so pleased for you <3

@ThisRedPoet I hope things get clearer for you. TTC and pregnancy is a never ending waiting game!

Congratualtions!!! xxx

@areyouinthedarkplace
Sorry to hear AF has arrived, I think it helps to allow yourself a day or two to feel sad, but then build up the positivity for the start of the new cycle! At least the dreadful TWW is over and you can focus on the month ahead 😊

Thanks @DaringlyDizzy - tentatively hopeful!! Sorry to see you haven't had your BFP yet - when is AF due for you?

@ThisRedPoet sorry to see you've had some concerns, but glad to hear your tests are darker! Definitely sensible to hold off testing... I'm the same as you, have spent a fortune on tests only in the last 6 months! And was the same with my last TTC journey! I try and stick to cheapies now until I feel more confident an FRER would be worth it and then never use a digital until closer to AF! Will keep everything crossed for you for the next time you test!

Conrgats @Mumzydarling12 always such a relief to see 2-3 weeks isn't it?! I've only ever gotten that result on my 1 successful pregnancy... all of my chemicals and early MCs have only ever said 1-2 weeks so always reassuring that HCG is rising well when you get the next one!!

@MummyV2021 congrats! Did you have any symptoms this month? Wishing you all the best - I had a CP in December too, nothing last cycle but am now 2DPO so hoping it's our lucky month x

Thanks lovely! I was the same, nothing last cycle - not even a sniff! I wasn't planning to test until Friday when AF is due, but on 7DPO I had mild cramps on and off throughout the day, then from that night and the last few nights I've had to pee multiple times in the night, which is very unusual and is what made me test yesterday! Other than that, no other symptoms to report so far! Fingers crossed for you this cycle, it's so hard trying again after any kind of loss!

This is so exciting! How 'lucky' to have some nice early signs 😊I feel like my body tricked me last month as I had the same ish symptoms as in December! Really hoping we DTD enough this month - ideally would have done ovulation day but both too tired, but managed 2 days beforehand so trying to stay positive! Wishing you a sticky bean and healthy pregnancy xx

Hey All, jumping in later in the month, we were trying before Christmas with no luck and paused for a month or so for a house move.
Cycle is a bit off due to me forgetting to take my vitamins last month(made my cycle change when I first started them also), AF arrived earlier last month and ovulation later but lines are getting darker and just about hit peak I believe.
Lovely to see BFP's this month and sending all those moving into next month all the baby dust ✨

Super huge congratulations 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Congratulations!! 🥰🌟🌟🌟

Thanks so much! Me too! Our bodies are tricky things aren't they?! And because it's all the same hormones the symptoms are all so similar which is very annoying! If it makes you feel any better, we didn't manage to DTD on O day this cycle either - just 1, 2 and 4 days before 🙂will keep everything crossed for a BFP coming your way next week! xx

Thank you! That does make me feel better as we also did O-4, O-2, O-1 😂maybe you are my good luck charm 🙈will keep the thread updated! now to distract myself...

Hi everyone, I was briefly in the other group but got lost and now I'm back 😂. Due to ovulate over the weekend 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 anyone else similar cycle position?
Congrats to the BFPs! Praying I join you in due November club!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

My spotting turned into full AF just now so I'm out this month. Beat of luck to you all and sending baby dust ✨

Congrats those who’ve had a BFP ❤️

I’m due to ovulate tomorrow according to apps and DTD yesterday, will keep an eye but I don’t have my usual ovulation symptoms… I had a pretty nasty bout of tonsillitis over the weekend and wondering if that’s thrown my ovulation off this month, if that’s even a thing?

@EllieWales I was ill last month and it totally threw my cycle all over the place, no idea if I ovulated. I think it can delay things for sure. Are you tracking with OPKs? Hope you're feeling better, tonsillitis is the worst x

@lynzmb it’s never occurred to me before that that could happen but it’s nice to know it’s not just me making it up! It’s so frustrating isn’t it? I think I’ll pop over to Tesco this morning to pick some up and see.

Our son and I both have our birthdays in December so we’ve agreed we’ll hold off for a couple months if we don’t conceive this cycle. (Definitely don’t need anymore Christmas babies in this family 😂) so I’m really hoping we’re still in with a chance 🤞

couldnt help myself and tested this morning 8dpo- BFN!!

Morning, has anyone else had this? It's been like this over 3mins now ...

Congratulations to all those with BFPs, exciting times!! ❤️

How’s everyone else? I’m only 3 DPO, the 2WW is dragging this month

Have you read the instructions? It should have all the symbols on there.
I’ve only seen this on the CB ovulation tests and I think it meant I couldn’t use the test

I've caved and bought 2 pregnancy tests 🙈 I was in a bit of a fluster as it was my local pharmacy and didn't want to see anyone I knew, so just picked them up and went straight to the counter. Got home and realised they weren't the early response ones 😩 so annoyed at myself! So I'm going to try and hold off now as feel like I'll likely get a negative anyway and that'll just deflate me. I may pop back up at some point to get the right ones but just going to sit here and be annoyed at myself for a bit first haha. Plus I have work to be getting on with!

Hey! I have just got my peak, so not too far off 😊!
We're doing things a bit different this month and DTD every day for three days before, peak day and two days after. I was worried about if feeling a it more of a chore than something fun but it's been no different to the months before.
Sending baby dust your way ✨

@justbelieve I googled it - means error! How annoying as if these aren't expense enough!!
