TTC for those taking longer than average

Went to reply on the other thread but it’s full!!!

@Marie1990xthat is a very cruel evap of its one . Are we sure you didn’t ovulate earlier? Would explain the darker opks now!

@Daniki I don’t think so. Going off OPK’s it’s max 6dpo I think, but I didn’t temp. From my google search it says you look for the surge rather than the peak and I had quite a rapid jump the day before my peak, but I think that’s just scraping the barrel to find a valid reason.

It’s very 50:50 with the posts I’ve seen from googling. Some evaps and some early positives so non the wiser just yet. I guess time will tell.

I wish I’d never tested 🤣

@Marie1990xgod so frustrating, and I’m dying to know 🙈🤣 I’d defo get a diff brand of tests so you can compare!?

@DanikiI’ve ordered some FRER’s from Amazon 🫣 coming tomorrow. Thought it’s a better way of hiding it from my husband as with it being the weekend well obviously be together 😅

@Marie1990xhaha I used to do the same! You must let me know asap if you test in the morning 🤣

@Daniki oh absolutely I will. I’m trying to bring myself back down to earth and reality by talking myself into that it’s impossible and just a bad test 😩

@Marie1990xi would do the same, it’s the same as me atm, not that it’s impossible but to keep you sane and not in a constant anxious state! I really hope it’s a wee miracle tho ❤️

@Daniki yeah definitely, got to try protect yourself after so long don’t you!

I’ve turned even more psychotic and inverted it and it’s a thick line inverted, not my usual thin evap. Driving myself mad. I’m so sorry you’re getting the brunt of my ranting on this 😂😂.

i think I’ll be too nervous to do a test tomorrow in case it’s a clear negative, but will seeeee

@Marie1990xdont be silly you bore the brunt of mine for so long 🤣 these are all good signs! Iv never got an evap on the boots one i don’t think! 🙏

@DanikiBFN this morning, so that was just an awful evap. Knew it was too good to be true 😅. Annoyed I’ve wasted money on FRER’s now! I’m sure I’ll just waste them this coming week anyway 🤣

@Marie1990x that was an awful evap to be fair! But hopefully still something to come. I always had better results in the evening tho than the mornings 😌

@Danikiwe shall see 😊. I’m glad it was so early so I didn’t quite believe it, if it was later I’d have definitely thought that was real for sure. Also good to know not all tests in my batch at dodgy 😅

@Marie1990xhope it’s the only dodgy one in the box as serial testing is now upon us! 🤣

@Danikibloody hope so! Can’t be doing with any more of those 🤦🏻‍♀️.

I’ve had a day spring cleaning the house and started planning what to do with the bedroom that would have been a nursery. So need to put a date on when to officially stop and crack on with decorating 😂

@Marie1990xah that’s a tough decision but I think it’s good to have those plans in your head and hope you don’t need them! Plus takes the pressure off 🙏

@Danikiyeah it definitely is a tough pill to swallow but feel like we need a plan. Thinking 3 months on the medicated cycles when I eventually get it then enoughs enough. I know husband had said he’s onside with ivf but I don’t know how much longer I can take it for to be honest.

but yeah, planning the decor has definitely softened the blow for sure! We’re planning on moving in the near future too but the whole “what if you’re on maternity leave” has put it off, so another thing that could move forward

@Marie1990xyea we spend so much time on the what ifs and then we decided aswell we will just plan away as normal as god knows what will happen and can’t just keep putting life off! I wouldn’t ditch the hope ivf just yet, if you do the medicated cycle or even IUI you’re halfway there and there’s not as much to it. Plus the fact you already have a child stands so much in your favour 🥰

@Daniki absolutely right! It’s alllll just one big head fuck 😂.

how are you doing anyway?

@Marie1990xim good, sickness is defo hitting me, i eat to feel better and then I feel sick for eating so its a fun circle 🤣 did your FRERs come!

@Daniki haha omg literally 😅. Hopefully it doesn’t last too long! Plain foods and snacks for the foreseeable 😂. Have you told anyone yet or still waiting it out?

yeah they came yesterday. I haven’t tried one yet. I’m going off the later ovulation date now (should be 7dpo today) so haven’t tested again, will start again either tomorrow or Tuesday. That evap has really put me off

@Marie1990xi bet 🙈 let me know about your opk did you do it yet? I had a mc Donald’s earlier it’s all I crave 🤣

@Danikihahaha I don’t blame you! I craved McDonald’s strawberry milkshakes and fries when I was pregnant, couldn’t get enough!

Yeah but they’re driving me nuts. It was slightly lighter yesterday but darkening again now! My boob pain has ramped up today, always happens EXACTLY a week before AF is due, so bang on time

@Marie1990xthat is so strange they’re getting darker, I hope it’s because it’s detecting hcg 🙏🙏🙏🫶🏻

@Danikii think realistically it’s probably just my PCOS 🙄 but we can hope! I may do a frer tomorrow to scratch the itch

@Marie1990xi imagine the itch is getting up now at this stage 🙊 did u test?
