@ehjmorris I see that I so hope and pray it gets darker for you xx

@jellybeanxx oh I'm so sorry how heartbreaking I just want ro give you a massive hug right now xx

 

[Ellybean]

@josephine3 they aren’t all from the same box but I guess that doesn’t mean they aren’t from the same factory batch.

12dpo FMU 5 hour hold. The line didn’t show up until right at the 3 minute mark, so I don’t really trust it.

 

[josephine3]

@Ellybean if you still have the boxes they should have the lot number on xx

 

[ehjmorris]

@ehjmorris I see that I so hope and pray it gets darker for you xx

@jellybeanxx oh I'm so sorry how heartbreaking I just want ro give you a massive hug right now xx

Thank you
It’s got a little darker tonight even after peeing all day, it’s better in person than camera

 

[Bevziibubble]

@ehjmorris I see it. Looking good!

 

[ehjmorris]

I hope they darken for you soon @Ellybean

My temp went up again today but I haven’t tested yet. I’m 13dpo and zero symptoms so I know it’s going to be BFN again. Waiting for AF sucks. Still another 3 or 4 days of waiting with my long luteal phase.
@jellybeanxx im sorry my love it really is so so soooo shit. Feeling exactly like you right now. If only it could be easier and not take so long. It really is not fun at all and esp harder at this time of the year with the Christmas cheer you just feel so sad and like shit.
Hugs love . Vent to me all you want love I totally get it


@littlewitch still time for symptoms love. Good luck.

@josephine3 good luck

@Ellybean frer has been doing that to a lot of women lately. It’s so wrong because there not the cheapest tests. They used to be so good. I’ve got some myself but I never use them unless I get lines on the sensitive ICs first as with my son and my miscarriage the strips were the first to give me a line, Frer did but was fainter. They are not as sensitive as they once was. I’m so sorry your going through this. Limbo land sucks. Hugs to you.

@S_Dowd
How are you today love? Did you test? I wil be trying when I ovulate again. AF should
Be here Tuesday or Wednesday and then ovulation should be around cd13, my normal time, it was day 18 this cycle but not sure if that was from being unwell in October and not ovulating and then ovulating again. I think that’s why it was late.
So we will be trying all over Xmas depending on ovulation. I hope it’s not Xmas day because we will have a house full so won’t be able to do nothing.
Just have to wait for AF and then see when cd13 falls.I think it’s more if I ovulate on cd18 again it will be Xmas time.
I don’t really enjoy drinking . But will have a few Xmas day even if I’m in the early stage of the 2ww. Or is that bad?

 

[Suggerhoney]

@ehjmorris
I see that too. Hope they get darker love

 

[Suggerhoney]

I’ll add my chart so you can all see the rise today. Tbh kind of wish it dropped again and af was here because I absolutely hate waiting until 17dpo to bleed. I always know I’m out at 10dpo if no lines, and then have to wait 7 days for AF it sucks. Then the wait to see if you ovulate again, it all stinks. Sorry feeling really shitty right now.
Fed up with stupid ttc and it not happening

@Suggerhoney Just a thought, but looking at your chart on its own, it’s very possible you didn’t ovulate until CD20. Implantation dip at 10dpo? Appreciate you know your body best, but just wanted to throw it out there

I agree with you. That's when I would have put your ovulation too @Suggerhoney, based on your chart. Although temps can take a couple of days to rise, so your original date could be correct, but based on just looking at your temp rise, I agree with Foxy. And I'm sorry about your long luteal phase, although my shorter one (12 days) can suck too because I worry a baby won't have time to fully implant before AF starts. So it feels like either way can cause extra stress. I'm just so sorry you're feeling so down, and I wish I could give you a big hug.

@Ellybean If those lines are evaps that is the most horrible thing I've ever seen! We have all seen those lines clear as day. How cruel and awful. I'm still hoping they get darker for you and do end up being the real thing, but the fact that they have stayed the same for so long is making me so upset for you. Because you are not imagining those lines. They are clear as day. So this is the test's fault. I don't know what is going on with FRER, but this is unacceptable. I'm still holding out hope for you and remember you're not out until the witch shows her ugly face! But those tests are unbelievable if they do turn out to be evaps. And it makes me uncontrollably angry for you and all the women being tricked by these.

@ehjmorris Those lines are looking sooo good! I'm so excited for you!!!! Stick baby stick!!!!

Sorry if I missed anybody! Know that I'm rooting for each and every one of you

12 dpo today. I started spotting a little bit last night after sex. But I usually spot the day before AF, so I'm feeling like she's going to show up right on time tomorrow. I do see shadow lines on all 3 tests today. They seem a tad more visible than yesterday, but not enough for me to call them positive, and I would definitely expect to have a true positive by 12 dpo if I was pregnant. So I'm just feeling really sad. I was soooo dizzy and nauseous yesterday. DH said I felt different during sex.... Whatever that means lol. So lots of symptoms, but the second I see any blood, I pretty much assume I'm out. I just hate how my body tricks me and gets my hopes up with all these symptoms.

I'll post my test pictures. Regular on top tweaked on bottom.

 

[josephine3]

@ehjmorris I think that's a bfp!! What dpo are you today I forget?

 

[josephine3]

@S_Dowd I see something on those too esp the top one is that the wondfo?

 

[NDH]

Suggerhoney I was going to say the exact same thing about your chart as Foxy did too. I know it sucks when you don't feel any symptoms but I definitely wouldnt rule yourself out yet.
I've gone to do a test just to see a bfn and get the disappointment over with before seeing AF and to my shock had it come up positive.


Ellybean I am so frustrated with you about the lines on the tests you've done. I really hope they are real lines that are just taking their time to darken.

Ehjmorris I can see that clear as day.

S_Dowd I can see something, but without my glasses on and on my poor quality phone the image isn't clear enough to see if it has colour. I am so hopeful for you, as your symptoms this whole tww have been amazing. Would love you to have a Christmas miracle.


AFM my temps the last two days have been up enough to make my chart look less horrible and definitely show a clearer ovulation pattern. So I am currently 7dpo.

 

[S_Dowd]

@josephine3 Yes the top is a wondfo. 10miu sensitivity. Aren't you due to start testing soon? Are you still having a lot of symptoms?

@NDH I can't tell if there is color either. It's like I can see something on all of them. That something is easier to see than yesterday, but it's still too faint to be able to tell if there is color or not.

I'm soooo glad your chart is looking better and you know when you ovulated. I was thinking you had ovulated on the 3rd, but those dips were super confusing. When are you planning to start testing?!?!?! I love analyzing other people's tests haha.

It's pouring rain here right now and I told DH the weather is matching my soul. Dark humor is how I deal lol. I just don't have much hope of a turn around this late in the game. But I'm still here rooting for all of you! I want to see some beautiful Christmas BFPS!!!

Awww thanks love. Unfortunately I always ovulate the same day or the day after peak. I had peak opk evening of cd17 and then again early hours like 1am of cd18. Then a lot of ovulation pain on the morning of cd18 and still a load of ewcm. Pains all stopped by evening of cd18 and cm dried up. So I’m sure it was day 18 ovulation day. Wish it was a bit later like you said but I know my body too wells but thanks for looking anyway love.

I agree with you. That's when I would have put your ovulation too @Suggerhoney, based on your chart.

yeah when I ovulate my temp rises gradually normally. I can add a older chart so you can see. I really wish did ovulate later but going by my opks and ovulation signs, ewcm , cervix open etc it was day 18. I always ovulate the same day or the day after my peak. Had peak evening of cd17 and then again 1am cd18, ovulation pains throughout cd17 and bad morning of cd18 then cm dried up by evening of cd18 so was definitely day 18 unfortunately. Wish it was day 20 tho. Thank you for looking too @NDH.
I’ve excepted I’m out now and pretty sure AF will be on Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

[Suggerhoney]

I’ll find another chart.

 

[Suggerhoney]

So this was my chemical pregnancy chart. But as you can see my temps gradually rise at 1 and 2dpo and then go up high.

 

[S_Dowd]

@Suggerhoney Okay yes your current chart does look similar to this one, so I see what you mean.
