[SureLook]

Hi all.

Just setting up a new group to continue the chats and support.

I am in dreaded two week wait currently. AF is due. Craving chocolate quite bad and feeling a drop in mood this week so I’m not feeling very optimistic this cycle.

Best of luck @Muddysocks1

Sorry it’s here. I’m convinced it’s completely clear to be honest. I do have every usual symptom that AF is about to start too

@MyPeppyLimeBear sorry, your original photo came up now. I think I can possibly see the start of something in the black and white photo. These tests never photograph well! I know AF is due tomorrow but how many DPO are you?

I didn’t take any ovulation tests this month but according to Flo’s prediction I should be around 9DPO. Thanks for looking xx

@MyPeppyLimeBear 9dpo is still so early! Do you normally only have around a 9/10 day luteal phase?

To be honest my cycle is absolutely all over the place as I have PCOS. Taking metformin to hopefully stabilise it a little x

Thank you, you too 🤞🏻

@PeonyPatch sorry to hear it sounds like AF is on her way x

@MyPeppyLimeBear sorry, yes, you mentioned that previously. Will you keep testing or wait for AF?

I’m on it too. Good luck x

Ooooooo @SureLook fingers crossed this is it for you lovely!

Im currently 7DPO, bit gassy and some twinges , I’m just at a point where I just can’t imagine being so lucky again and feel hopeless 😢

@Iris2024 thanks for the kind words. I really hope your time is soon 🤞🏻

Thank you lovely, I hope I’m not far behind you ❤️

I’m feeling really down this morning. I’m 5 or 6 dpo which I know is early but I really just feel it hasn’t happened this cycle. I’ve always conceived first cycle but always had a loss. The last two times I conceived I had symptoms on 6dpo including spotting, bloating and an implantation dip in bbt and I’ve not had any of that this time.

@Notsure31 aww, I'm sorry you're feeling down. I know it's hard not to compare to previous pregnancies but try not to. You're still so early and there is time x

@SureLook Keeping all my fingers crossed for you - difficult to tread the line between hopeful optimism and self-protection isn't it? Really hoping this is it!

Sorry @Notsure31 - it is so hard isn't it to keep your spirits up. Like Surelook said, there is still time. Try and distract yourself as much as you can. The waiting window is a horrible time!

@Taysonic I'm a little bit more hopeful this morning 🤞🏻I think I'll stop with the ovulation tests now 😂

Congratulations @SureLook 🥰 those are stronger lines. So pleased for you xx

@ForGiddyDreamer thank you! I'm still very cautious but a bit more hopeful.

Brilliant news! Congratulations!

Massive congratulations @SureLook! Definitely reassuring to see that darker line and I hope it just continues to go from strength to strength. Here's to a sticky strong bean!

Thrilled for you, congrats lovely this is you! Xx

Started ovulation testing again today! Seemed like I caught my peak last month but I’m wondering if we tried a bit too hard and did it every day in the fertile window? 🤣 I’ve read since that you should try every other day!
levels are at 0.55 today so let’s hope to see a good rise this week!

@overwork @Taysonic @MyPeppyLimeBear thank you all ❤️

@LaurLou22 most things I've read have said every second day, too. It gives the sperm the chance to regenerate apparently!

Congrats @SureLook !

Congratulations @SureLook, wishing you all the best ✨
