February Cherubs | Testing Thread

[josephine3]

@NightFlower and @jellybeanxx I was just thinking cos of the affect hot/spicy food can have like sending you into labour. With both my labour's that's what did it! I know it's stupid to think of it bringing on af or a chemical but that was my train of thought and it definitely had that effect as the pain started right away. I know it sounds daft. And I know af was likely coming anyway that just pushed it along so to speak.
@littlewitch I know you are scared hun but you are definitely pregnant for now!! I think those cb aren't as sensitive. Keep posting the pics I'm loving seeing them x

Glad everyone is doing good another day tomorro for us all!

I’ve had an event full evening rowing with a close friend over the children. I know we shouldn’t but it’s been a massive build up and i poped when she laughed at my daughter for bragging ( so her daughter was being mean in to mine saying y does my daughter think she ace with. Bottle of prime lmao! So I said well it is a bit n she laughed and said she should be bragging so I’ve lost it n I mean gone mental. I’m wondering If it’s hormones but I’m done with that women she even huffed bear in mind while her child was crying, at my child crying!
Sorry guys rant over hahahha I’m still livid!
Xxx

@josephine3 I totally understand your thought process behind it but those at home labour starting methods only help when your body is ready for labour so if you’d eaten spicy food a week earlier, it’s unlikely you’d have gone into labour. Just don’t want you beating yourself up over something you had no control over! This TTC thing can really mess with our heads can’t it?

@Saradavies89 sorry to hear you had an argument with your friend, sounds like there’s more to it than a bottle of Prime and she’s been irritating you for a while? Sometimes it better to just remove negativity from your life if you can!

AFM still no EWCM here, I’ve forgotten now who said they don’t always notice it or have it. That’s reassuring. I normally get it even when I’m trying and failing to ovulate. I thought it was maybe the letrozole as I know clomid can dry up CM. Not sure if letrozole should though?
No positive OPK yet either. Will see what happens tomorrow!

 

[littlewitch]

13 dpo evening tests. 5 hold hold.
Cheapies are positive.
FRER are negative.
I am scared this will be another chemical.

 

[littlewitch]

FRER tonight are negative. Cheapies positive.
I am stressing.

 

[NDH]

Big hugs littlewitch. Hoping it's not another chemical . The tests in the first pic are very clear positives and I feel like I'm certainly seeing something on the frer

 

[HalfricanMa]

@littlewitch I agree with NDH, you still have very clear positives and i feel like i see something on frer also. It’s still early, so hopefully the hcg will build nicely for you so you wont feel so nervous.

 

[Ellybean]

Anyone else’s boobs really sore? I was napping on my side and mine woke me up because they hurt so bad.

 

[HalfricanMa]

Haha! YES!!! Well…my nipples because ds is sick again and nursing like a cluster-feeding newborn! He’s 19 months old and he’s totally doing everything to mitigate getting a sibling! Still praying for a bfp though. Another good temp raise this morning. Im hopeful and im getting light cramps/twinges now. Hopefully not an early af arrival like last month. Im between 5-7 dpo so kinda far from testing still.
When will you test again Ellybean?

I’ll test whenever I wake up to pee. So like 3am lol

 

[HalfricanMa]

I hope this cramping is a good thing and not a bad thing. Last cycle my period was so early I only made it to 7dpo and not even a chance of testing.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@HalfricanMa
I don’t want to get your hopes up hon. But with my son I had sticky cm. I had it from around 6dpo onwards and new it wasn’t the norm and we was trying for 11 cycles with him. I did have the 4 chemicals b4 falling with him but with them I had tmi snotty stuff yuck.
Ive also had snotty stuff with the 2 losses last year and with this chemical.
Snotty for me means I’m either not pregnant, or I am but I will lose.
But with my son it was definitely sticky,
Your chart is looking so good too.

@littlewitch
I can see something on that last Frer you said was negative. I swear it has a faint line. And the one before I could see as clear as day and definitely pink.
Can see a line on the easy@home and that test with the pink lid.
I hate those early days of testing so much. It’s so nerve wracking.
I really hope you see darker lines tomorrow hon.

@Ellybean
I had sore boobs from around 7dpo with my 3 year old son. Also with my 10 year dd I had sore boobs a whole week b4 AF was due.

I did have really sore boobs in September from 7 ish dpo and was so convinced I was pregnant but unfortunately kept getting bfn then AF.
Really don’t know why I had sore boobs for because it’s usually a sign of pregnancy for me.
I do sometimes get sore boobs just after ovulation too but they always fizzle out by 6dpo.

fx it means something for you hon.


@Saradavies89
So sorry you had that argument hon.
I hate arguing with people but sometimes it can’t be helped.
Hope your ok

 

[Ellybean]

11dpo three hour hold. Couldn’t go back to sleep unless I tested. Pretty sure it’s an indent.

Good morning all (UK here).

I think it's time for me to move out of this thread and start using my journal. I will still be keeping an eye on posts in here as I would love to see some more BFP's this month but I think now it's time I use my journal for updating so as not to keep posting BFP's in here.

I really hope you all check in on my journal, I am hoping some of you get BFPs and we can travel this journey together!

Good luck to everyone And thank you again for the support you've all given me whilst here

P.S My Journal link is at the bottom of my posts

Thanks ladies yeh was all a bit much last night and was a build up of a lot of stuff, it all sounds petty but it was more how she disregarded my child feelings and laughed at her. I’ve never done that to any child so I’m done that’s not a friend. I’d never fall out over children being silly between each other but the way she handled it wasn’t good,


@littlewitch don’t worry I think this is the problem with us cz we r TTC we test loads. Imagaine u wasn’t TTC and tested and one came out like the top ones u would automatically take it as a positive. So give it a few more days and try and relax (says me ahah) but try not to worry lovely xxxx

 

[Laurabub84]

@Ellybean I always suffer bad morning sickness but mine never starts until after af is due. Hope it’s a good sign for you. I feel like somethings catching my eye on your test

@HalfricanMa this was my chart when I fell with my son. My temp didn’t rise above coverline until 3dpo, so ff wasn’t accurate at pinpointing mine. I thought I was two days behind where I was until I realised a positive clear blue digital test at 8dpo was highly unlikely. My dating scan confirmed I ovulated day 21 not day 23

Your temps are looking fab. I’m not so sure about cm but I know I had the sensation of feeling wet down there leading up to a bfp.
Fx’d that’s what it will mean for you

@Babydreaming9 I hope your symptoms are a good sign for you

@Saradavies89 sorry you had a fall out with your friend but agree she doesn’t sound like a very nice mate to pick faults with a child. Think I would have reacted the same if that was my child. Sounds like your better off without her in your life

@jellybeanxx it was me that said about the lack of ewcm. I used to really worry about it because others would say how much they noticed it but I never really have. It obviously has never affecting me getting pregnant tho. I guess mines there but just not as noticeable. I hope you get that peak opk

@littlewitch I really hope it’s not a chemical. The first weeks are so scary. Keeping everything crossed for you

Afm, 7dpo today. I think I might start testing tomorrow night on the small chance I ovulated day of peak because that would then make me 9dpo, but by my temps I think there more likely right and I’ll actually only be 8dpo but to be honest the impatience to test is kicking in and have heaps of cheapies so why not. Starting to feel so nervous

Thanks for sharing that chart! It gives me hope!! Good luck for next testing. My temp is still high and the light cramping stopped pretty quickly last night.

Afm, This morning I snuck out of the bedroom with ds because dh was still asleep. I dipped a cheapie but forgot about it on the table while i took care of the kiddo. Dh came out and saw and exclaimed “Are you pregnant?!!” I told him i forgot to look but when he showed me, i didnt see anything. I apologized for the false hope. Oops. Kid’s still sick and i needed coffee so it fell to background! He’s such an amazing & supportive husband & father. Im grateful he’ll be so excited to finally have a second child. Hopefully it happens.
Silly that i even did the test at either 6-8dpo lol
