June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

Starting a new thread because we got to 999 replies!

Well, it's 10DPO and I've got my first vvvvv faint line 🫣 It's barely showing on photo, so probably not much point to upload it, even playing around with settings it's hard to see, but in real life it's definitely there, came up within 5 mins. It's not as obvious as the one I got at 10DPO last cycle though. I've also had a bit more pink tinged CM this morning, so admittedly I'm nervous. My pdg test is still positive though, so progesterone seems fine. I just now need to be patient and wait for that line to darken next few days 🫣🤞🏻

@DorsetGirl89I see it!!xx

@DorsetGirl89 oh wow, I can see it! Your instincts are spot on! Yes it's nerve wracking but yay

I've just tested again after 2 days and think my line is fractionally darker. I also did a digital, it came up 1-2 weeks which is spot on, and then I'll take the other digital in the pack in a week's time and hope for 2-3 to put my mind at ease.

This is fantastic @hollyhocks2 😍 how do you feel?

@amey44 sorry, that's so frustrating!

@hollyhocks2 how annoying that the other GP wouldn't prescribe progesterone. But I'm sure it'll fine until next week x

@BambinaBoo oh, fingers crossed!

@EmPeEf sorry I'm not good with temps. But solidarity x

@DorsetGirl89 I can definitely see that! Tentative congratulations ❤️

@hollyhocks2 that's great to hear 👏🏻

I got my period back yesterday 🥳 about four weeks since I started spotting or three and a half weeks since I took the tablets. So the countdown to TTC again is on!

@DorsetGirl89wow you knew it didn't you 🥺 I can very clearly see it x

Congratulations @DorsetGirl89 & @hollyhocks2 ❤️

I'm cd 12 and am definitely ovulating. Confirmed it with a CB & strip. We bd yesterday and will do today.

Things are difficult here at the moment. My little dog became very ill yesterday and he had to be sedated for tests. He's very unwell and my heart is just broke. He's 13 and my absolute world. I don't think I'd cope if something happened to him. 2 preg losses and him unwell 😢

I'm so effing confused. Hospital blood yesterday showed I'm not pregnant. How unbelievably unlucky would it be if out of the 20+ FRERs I've used I only ever got evaps at 10DPO and no other time? But I don't think it's possible for my HCG to be so low yesterday on bloods and then faintly detectable on a FRER today though? It means it would've had to quadruple overnight ?! GP said to still assume I might be pregnant because HCG might not be high enough yet but it makes no sense that way round because I know implantation was 7DPO (felt it and had pink CM) so HCG would've definitely been high enough in blood by yesterday if the pregnancy was continuing. It seems more likely that implantation failed really soon after and by yesterday blood HCG was already back down, but urine picks it up for longer apparently so maybe it just reached the detectable threshold in urine before it failed and I only detected it in urine after it had dropped in blood?

I'm devastated and just so confused. What are the chances of me having all the symptoms I'm getting, 2 cycles in a row, symptoms I categorically never get any other cycle, spotting starting on the day implantation would happen, when I never spot any other time, boob pain, headaches, all of this happens the only two times we've tried to conceive, and both of those times I get my only ever evaps at 10DPO each time? The chances are pretty stacked right? I don't know what to think. Progesterone is good, so ovulation confirmed and implantation isn't failing because of that, but something is happening immediately after implantation I think 😞

I feel frazzled and emotionally drained! I want to just think it was an evap this morning, but it seems so unlikely! But with the bloods how they were yesterday, if it wasn't an evap, it's not good news either way 😭

@ForGiddyDreamer yay for smiley!

I'm so sorry your dog is poorly 😔 mine is my world too, I totally get it. I really hope he makes a speedy recovery 🙏🏻 xxx

I am so confused with this cycle I’m supposed to be 5dpo but I have no clue now also does anyone know anything about bbt? Mine is so baffling this cycle CD 8-12 my temp ranged from 36.5-36.8 then dropped CD13 to 36.3 and since (didn’t log cd 15,16,17) it’s been 36.5 until today it’s 36.4??? Idk if these temps even tell me i’ve ovulated yet because usually my temp is much higher before my period:( I just feel done with this cycle atm

@DorsetGirl89 It's quite possible for that to happen. When I was discharged from the EPU they classed an HcG level of 3 and under as 'not pregnant'. FRER sensitivity is 5. So you could have just implanted and the levels were low for the blood draw and have increased overnight to show on the test. I am sorry you are going through the am I/ aren't I scenario again but test again in 2 days time and hopefully that line darkens.

@ForGiddyDreamer aww, I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending hugs ❤️

@DorsetGirl89 I'm sorry this is happening. It's all so hard and confusing. I agree with @ForGiddyDreamer test again in a couple of days x

@amey44 sorry, I'm not a temp expert. Hopefully someone can help.

@ForGiddyDreamer ok that's interesting, my friend thinks that too, but I just find it so unlikely! Time will tell I suppose, Dr said to assume I might be pregnant, so I'll take another test in a few days. Still getting symptoms, and lots more twinges/fluttering in lower abdomen, but spotting isn't getting heavier like last cycle, so it's all very strange 🥴 is there any update on your doggo?

@SureLook thank you lovely, trying to stay positive ❤️

@DorsetGirl89 and @amey44 I’m really feeling for you both today. Being confused on your cycle is almost the absolute worst thing to have going on, I really sympathise.

@DorsetGirl89 those symptoms are encouraging and you are so attuned with your body! Fingers crossed 🤞

His xrays were clean but the vet thinks he's either soft tissue damage or a clot reached his leg, causing damage. His chest scan showed an enlarged heart. He's very unhappy, quite grumpy and keeps falling over. I've to keep him on meds for 6 more days and then the vet will reassess him. I'm hoping he picks up.

Ladies I don’t know if i’ve just had an implantation bleed (or ovulation???)!!!!!! I’m supposed to be 5dpo and had cramping today and i’ve just been to the toilet and when I wiped there was a few blood streaks in sort of creamyish ewcm?????

@amey44 This sounds more like implantation than ovulation, hopefully it is 🤞🏻😘

Sorry I can't help with temps, I don't seem to manage to get mine consistent.

@amey44 sounds promising 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@ForGiddyDreamer sending him a big snuggle and belly rubs ❤️🐾

@ForGiddyDreamerI'm so sorry to hear about your doggy 💔 these animals really do break our hearts don't they. I hope he feels better really soon.
Happy to see you got your static smiley and managed to dtd. I had some ewcm yesterday, but that's quite standard for me to have it so far out. For the last 3 months I've got my static smiley on CD18. I'm only CD13 today. Partner had his Semen analysis this morning and he's on a nightshift tonight and tomorrow....so from Thursday we will dtd every day until ovulation x

Has anything changed today @EmPeEf ? What was your BBT this morning? As for progesterone, ask your doc for a 21 day progesterone test. It will confirm if you've ovulated. Also, I've been using the proov pdg strips myself and they have all accurately said progesterone is high, so I trust them based on that I guess, as a blood test confirmed it. They're expensive to do every cycle, but if you're worried about progesterone they're useful. I don't think it's difficult getting a progesterone blood test though, I just asked GP for one and she did it.

Sorry for delay is replying to this post, I keep missing posts and catching up later! X

@amey44ooo this could most definitely be implantation!

@DorsetGirl89sorry I've only just managed to read your post! Ughh how confusing! 😫 but I must say you seem so in tune with your body, I honestly think if you tested in a couple more days that line will be darker. A day really does make a difference. Your line was super faint...so yesterday would probably not have been there at all! The waiting is the frustrating part though. Hugs xx

I've been for a scan today. No evidence of baby at 6 weeks. Pregnancy of unknown location. So being referred to the hospital.
They said it probably 1. Too early .

1. Miscarriage if had bleeding -which I've not.
2. Ectopic - more likely.

So now to wait for the hospital to ring me in the morning.

A bit sad, but I was expecting something to be wrong because of the tests going up and down , from 2-3 to 1-2, back up again.

Not at all, thank you for taking the time to reply! I think I might get some progesterone strips just to correlate between them and what I’m seeing on the thermometer.

BBT went back up today🤞🏻
