Still early days try again in a couple days, fingers crossed

I’ll be waiting for your next test @NightFlower. Have you felt anything out of the ordinary? It’s so early for a bfp!
Afm, Im not sure the doc was right about my hormone numbers saying i was ovulating back when I had the blood workup done. But I have been doing wondfo & easy@home opk strips plus started the advanced digital clearblue ones. They worked for me for both pregnancies. The opks are getting close to positive and I’ve gotten the flashing smiley for high fertility the past 2 days. Hoping for that static smiley and ovulation soon.

Today's test a slightly lighter again, not going to test again now and just gonna wait on AF now. Hopefully happens quickly so I can just move on from this but feel like its going to be slow declining levels Xx

@jazzy1 so so sorry hunni want send you massive xx

 

[HalfricanMa]

So sorry @jazzy1

I know I said I wouldnt test anymore but the poas addict in me just wont let it be but I genuinely feel like I'm just torturing myself now. Hardly any progression on 3 different brands but then a very strong line on a home bargains cheapy test but ive nothing that compare that to, they may just be very sensitive tests. Surely 3 different brands cant all be rubbish.

@jazzy1 Hi! I found clear and simple to be awful for progression I used the strip kind but around 12-13 dpo they were drastically lighter but lines on other brands were good fxd for you x
@tdog I can't believe you are ttc agsin or ntnp maybe lol.
I've not gone on any birth control yet, I haven't used it since before ttc my first tbf!! Always just used condoms and now we are just on the pull out method (we rarely have time to dtd anyway) and avoiding fertile time etc.
However.. Lol... I'm due on sometime this week, but I'm having some suspicious symptoms.. I've been super hungry like pregnancy hungry and I have a sudden cold which I know sounds a daft symptom but I had it with this last baby about this time.. And just have that 'feeling'. I've no tests in the house tho so it's a wait and see game... Arrghh!!

 

[josephine3]

@jazzy1 honestly those green strips take ageeeesss to get dark like 20+ dpo
@HalfricanMa did you have your ultrasound? Xx

@jazzy1 oh no I’m so sorry this is so stressful. People say “don’t use HPTs for progression! That’s not what they’re for!” But honestly unless we can track blood hcg levels at home (and WHY can’t we?!? If they’ve made continuous blood glucose monitors SURELY we can have home hcg blood level monitors too!) we need SOMETHING to tell us we can be reassured or to tell us to brace ourselves. And yet those hpts are a cruel mistress since they’re misleading at best (while I was bleeding heavily, my FRERs got significantly darker and brought me false hope and anxiety over possible ectopic… and when I was NOT miscarrying, my tests got lighter and even went virtually negative for a day before getting dark positive again, and that baby is 18 months old now). It’s really stressful. Can you get betas? If I’m blessed to get pregnant again I swear I’ll go to the emergency room if I have to just to get some dang numbers! Or else we’re left to our own devices and we go insane!

AFM, I FINALLY stopped bleeding 100% after thirteen straight days. OPKs are extremely negative.

For those of you ladies who have had a chemical in the past (and I’m so sorry you have)- did it delay ovulation or make it happen early? Neither?

glad you’ve stopped bleeding. I’m in the same boat waiting for ovulation but no signs I’m anywhere near it.

 

[MrsKatie]

@3boys Hope it’s soon for us. I really would love just one more sweet babe. My oldest keeps asking for one more baby sibling too haha. Maybe we’ll be on the same timeline and get to obsess together

 

[NightFlower]

I'm 10dpo, my pm test. Don't think there's much to see. Bfn.

 

[tdog]

@josephine3 that made me giggle tbf I always got the 'pregnancy cold' which is when I new I was pregnant I hate odd numbers and obviously 7 is odd but can you imagine if we did fall and had twins just have to wait and see for both of us I supose lol. Xx

@jazzy1 i found them clear and simple ones rubbish (I think I did say that) but like I also said to you you no your body I had an amazing line in clearblue and frer then these clear and simple I had barely a line. I have everything crossed everything OK xx

@MrsKatie so glad the bleeding has stopped now finally, when I had my chemical it did put my ovulation back by about a week xx
