Congrats who have gotten a bfp I see so many. Yay!!

Afm: I'm cd10 I had a spot of red blood on cd9 then nothing since. Not sure if it was due to ovulation or not. Been such a weird cycle since my loss. Anyways we dtd last night. Will again Thursday and Saturday that should cover all the bases.

Good luck @NightFlower !

I think the positive line has started to fade. So might be an evap! I can still see it without my phone torch but it's just a teeeeny bit lighter than earlier. I keep thinking surely there's hcg to get the line plus it's still pink. I've never known that before

*September Sapphires/October Opals 2023*

Emsabub I can't see the line but my phone sucks and I don't have my glasses on so I'm half blind. I hope for good progression tomorrow so I can add your name to the BFP list

Laura I'm sorry you're not feeling hopeful after another bfn


I had bad cramping all day yesterday. My usual mittelschmerz only lasts a few minutes and isn't that painful, but this cramping had me nearly doubled over and lasted a couple hours. Not sure if it was super strong ovulation or something else . My temp *is* up this morning. It's not above my usual coverline but it is the highest temp of this cycle so we'll see what tomorrow's temps bring. We didn't BD yesterday but did the two days before. I'm about to wake hubby

Sore boobs, "super nose" as we call it (enhanced sense of smell) and cramps all going on for 3 days now, but at 8 dpo I got a BFN today. These are all normal PMS symptoms for me though lately. I thought I saw the faintest line on my premom today, but I'm certain it's just line eyes and I'm seeing where the line should be I'm still getting familiar with these tests.

Now I can't say I'm particularly religious in the traditional sense, but I do consider myself a spiritual person, and I do believe in higher powers and that I have spiritual guides of some sort looking out for me. I've been praying so hard and have asked for my baby to visit my dreams so that I'd know who it is I'm waiting for. If anything, thats what will keep me going. Now I'm not sure if it's an answered prayer, or just my hopes, but this morning, some time after waking up, but still laying in bed, I had like a 2 second flash of a curly blonde haired toddler girl playing with big Legos at a small table. It wasnt long enough to memorize all her features, but she looked like she could definitely be my baby. I've also seen a baby girl twice in my dreams now. The first time held by my daughter and I just knew it was her baby sister, but this dream was a few years ago, before my husband even had his reversal, much more recently though (a few months ago) I saw a baby held by me.

Ladies, my emotions are ALL over the place. I'm trying so hard not to read too much into anything, and I'm barely logging anything symptom wise this month as I don't want to get my hopes up just to have them shattered all over again, but it's hard not to over analyze every little thing when ttc...

Those sound like sweet dreams. It is hard not to analyze every little thing while ttc. I hope that little girl comes your way!

Good Luck! Hopefully tomorrow’s temp confirms it for you.

@HalfricanMa i swear I see it!!

[HalfricanMa]

Thanks for looking! Im hopeful but its early so i cant tell if its an indent. I havent had these ever give me an indent. Strangely i’ve wanted even at least an indent to get excited and last month period started at 7dpo so i never even had a chance to test! Lol
I’m excited to see what happens with my temp & tests later this week. This is how that dried:

Hey all. Tiny bit of spotting and having some cramping too feeling very nervous right now. Not something I've had in previous pregnancies, I know it can be normal but feels not normal! Will keep all updated over the next 24 hours.

 

[tdog]

@xZoeyx hope all is ok yes spotting can be very much normal xx

Try not to worry can be very normal xxx

 

[Emsabub]

@HalfricanMa I think I see something too!
@xZoeyx try not to worry (as hard as it is!), It might just be baby settling in

Hope everything is OK! Try to relax today if you can.

Hi All!

Sorry I’ve been MIA, I read the chat every single day but so tired by the evening once my whirlwind 3yo is asleep!
Congratulations on so many BFPs in here, and I’m so sorry for those who are still TTC.

I’m feeling so deflated this cycle, I just don’t feel pregnant, I’m about 6/7DPO I can’t pinpoint my exact O as I didn’t temp this cycle. I’ve trusted my Flo App and I feel like I’ve got it so wrong and I O’d later than anticipated so with trying the Shettles method I’m scared I lost out this cycle.

I had dull cramps / flutters from last Thursday through to yesterday and now no symptoms at all it’s all just gone! So I think I’m out, I know it’s still early but I felt so much more pregnant at this point in the cycle with my DS.

@Laurabub84 sorry you’re feeling out, it’s definitely one of the worst and best parts of charting. It does tend to either give you hope or completely take it away. I always end up testing anyway as well!

@NightFlower do you usually get midcycle spotting? I’ve been getting it around CD12 the last few cycles. The only cause I can find on doctor google is a hormone shift!

@NDH I hope that’s a sign of some mega ovulation for you!

@Pink.Rose oh wow! I hope those visions and dreams become a reality for you soon!

@HalfricanMa ooh I see that!!

@xZoeyx hope you’re okay, it can be quite common to get spotting but I’m sure you know that and it’s easier to say not to worry than it is not to worry!

Another temp rise for me today. That’s the second one and my chart is starting to look ovulatory. The cheapy OPKs are even fainter and the digi was still a flashing smiley. If I get another temp rise tomorrow I’ll consider myself in the TWW but I’d feel more confident if I’d had a proper positive OPK!
