@littlewitch
Those ICs look BFP.
I found my ICs were darker than Frer when I first got my BFP with my son.
Was the same with the miscarriage I had last year too.
ICs had lines but Frer only has the most faintest of faint lines.
But by evening Frer was clearer.

fx for a sticky hon.


@xZoeyx
I stopped temping hon.
I was temping the whole way through my cycle but I decided to not temp the last cycle and just use opks.
And I fell.
I did temp for a few days just until I had a rise and new I had definitively ovulated then I stoped.
Temping the whole way through was definitely stressing me out.
I love using opks tho, and I like to use them because I had that one cycle where I didn’t ovulate at all.
I never got a peak opk and my temps stayed flat.
But I went onto to ovulate the next cycle and have been ovulating every cycle now.
So I’m just gonna stick with the opks as I have new ones so they need to be used.
But will only temp for a few days, just until my temp rise then will stop.
I’ve not giving myself a time limit as in when to stop trying.
Im not planning going back on any form of brith control so I will always be trying.
I just think I’ll give myself another year of using opks and if I’m still not pregnant then I will stop using opks.
But I’m praying so so hard I will be pregnant again with my rainbow vvvvv soon.
Would be great if it happens this cycle I’m on now, but I’m not feeling overly hopeful.
Just pray it happens soon and I pray I don’t have any more losses.
I’ve had 3 now.
2 last year and now this loss too.

your tests look good. Hope they keep getting darker and hope it’s a sticky little bean.
Hopefully I will get my sticky little rainbow beanie very very soon.

Feel like a crazy person today I'm over thinking everything. We are planning on having spicy wings for dinner from our fave takeaway and we love them really hot. But now I'm paranoid that it will induce af cos of the effect on bowels etc.
Why can't I just accept that I'm out it's stupid

I don’t think the hope every leaves until af. Sometimes not even then. I’ll admit I’ve tested in the past when af has already started

Good afternoon ladies..Cd5 here and af has almost left the building..thank god was driving me nuts as it was so soon after my cp. Anyways its good timing as my OH works first this coming week heading up to ovulation so we can get plenty of bd sessions in. Maybe it was ment to be this way. Anyways I'm looking forward to trying extra hard this round and hoping to get a sticky bfp around the end of this month (feb). Already have it in my head that this will be the month as long as my body cooperates.

Positive thoughts

 

[tdog]

@littlewitch that's definitely a I see it on all including the frer xx

 

[HalfricanMa]

@littlewitch congratulations on your pregnancy!! Good Luck!!
@NightFlower maybe you’re right about the timing being perfect & you fall pregnant again! Fx

@Laurabub84 thank you for sharing about ff tagging your ovulation incorrectly. I think mine is cd16, two days earlier than ff says also. I had the strong pains (and clomid make ovulation very painful for me) cd15 & 16 plus my peaks were cd 11 & 16. For O to be cd 18 when cb said low and the watery cm had ended already seems off. Either way i have some time to wait before testing. Your chart looks terrific!! What a great rise and continuation of high temp!! Good luck when you start testing!!

 

[HalfricanMa]

I don't really say much on here, but wanted to let you know you're not alone in your frustration with clomid. It didn't ever work for me to help with ovulation and the side effects were awful. I was able to try Femara and ovulated 4 if the 5 months I tried that and the side effects were so minimal. Maybe it's something you could ask about trying, even for a month just to see if it's nicer on your body. We did still end up needing to go the ivf route, but part of our issues are also male factor.

Thank you for sharing. I’ll research Femara. I think its likely that my body wont accept a pregnancy until i am no longer breastfeedinf my toddler. He’s 19 months but keeps getting sick and really relying on the mama pharmacy!

 

[Babydreaming9]

Don’t know what I was thinking today - I have some cbs in the drawer just waiting for when I’m testing and because I had some bubbling feelings today in my uterus and cramps, I tested, 2DPO ‍

obviously it was negative and I knew it would be as it’s stupidly early, but I could not contain myself!! I’ll need to sit on my hands until next week


Congrats on the BFPs! I definitely see some faint lines on here! FX for you all xx

 

[Babydreaming9]

Same tests up closeView attachment 1114222

Definitely see a line on these ones!

 

[josephine3]

Oh congrats @littlewitch I definitely think its time to call bfp!! I'm so happy for you!!

Well, I called it on the chicken wings. Literally as soon as we ate I started having cramps, waiting as long as poss to go pee and had bright red blood. It still doesn't feel quite right though, the cramps were really low like in my groin and the blood was very watery.
Still I guess I'm out, now I'm blaming myself for eating them just incase something was going on. Stupid really.

 

[littlewitch]

@littlewitch I think you have yourself a bfp there!! What dpo are you I know you are not far behind me?

Soooo my hopes are going up and down like crazy. I was convinced af was coming yesterday but I only had that brown/orange cm when checking cervix. Then nothing. So if course did another test but I've just found brown again when checking. It's been a long time since I made it to 13dpo. Im either going crazy or I see a line on this. Arrghh I don't know what to think anymore.

I am 12 dpo. AF is due on Valentine's day.

 

[littlewitch]

@littlewitch i see all those lines, frer included. How are you feeling?

I had some cramps last night that were quite painful and again this evening, but only on the left. I have been sleeping in this week on days I didn't work, which I normally don't do, but I didn't think anything of it. Other than that, I feel normal.
I am not getting my hopes up yet.

 

[littlewitch]

You are pregnant my online friend..omg...I'm so happy for you!!

I am nervous. Lines are still very faint. And as I have had 3 chemicals this year, I am holding my breath a bit.

 

[littlewitch]

12 dpo evening tests. In this picture, the CB was at 8 min, the FRER at 5 min and the other 2 tests were dry.
I forgot to come back at 3 mins because I took them at work.
I keep thinking they might just be evaps or something.
Recurrent chemicals is making me a bit of a doubtful witch.
Thank you all for the encouragement.

10 dpo and a blaring negative

Those are for sure BFPs!!!! Your eggo is preggo my dear congrats!! Praying for a sticky baby

 

[jellybeanxx]

@littlewitch I understand the anxiety but the lines are looking good! Keeping everything crossed for you but for you are pregnant!!!

@josephine3 I totally get the worrying and looking for reasons but I don’t see how the wings could be an issue? Please don’t blame yourself for it!

@Ellybean sorry for the BFN, they never get any easier to see

CD16 for me today and finally got a flashing smiley! Cheapy OPK is looking close as well. So maybe I’ll ovulate? I haven’t had any EWCM though so not getting my hopes up yet!

 

[Newbie87]

Feel like I’m going to miscarry again. It’s like I can get pregnant then I have period type pains. Exactly what happened last time. It’s like my bodies rejecting it. Feeling so sad

Oh hun don’t blame yourself. I’m sure eating hot spicy food wouldn’t have caused anything to go wrong and so soon after eating them. I’m so sorry you’ve started bleeding. Big hugs

it’s horrible testing after losses. I really hope they continue to darken and you have a sticky healthy little bean in there.

I’m so pleased to read you have your flashing smiley and tests look on the way to positive. I don’t always notice ewcm. With dd4 I didn’t notice any at all but there must have been some because I fell with her and this time it didn’t seem completely ewcm but I definetly ovulated. Try not to worry. I hope you get a static and blazing opks in the next couple of days. Keeping everything crossed for you.

big hugs hun. Cramps are so scary in the early days but are also normal. With my son they lasted the first few weeks and I was constantly checking for bleeding. Then I got them again around 7/8 weeks. It’s terrifying especially after already having a loss. Every chemical I had I would get pain in my lower back and I got it with my son so was convinced it wasn’t gonna end well but he was absolutely fine. I know it’s so hard but try to keep calm. Hopefully it’s your little bean just getting nice a snug in there. Keeping every crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months for you
