February Cherubs | Testing Thread

[littlewitch]

My temp dropped again this morning. Well below coverline now. Test was still positive but I just don’t think it’s progressed enough for 11DPO.

It's still positive, love. I am hopeful that your tests will darken for you.
Today, you are pregnant.

 

[Babydreaming9]

Lines came up in time just hope they're not evaps. Will do more tomorrow. Don't want to get my hopes up.

Oh wow I see those lines on all of them! And 8DPO too, that’s great! Fx they keep getting darker! I’ll keep you in my prayers tonight!

 

[gigglebox]

Thanks so much. Know it's early to really tell. Just don't want to get my hopes up because I'm testing so soon. But I can't help myself

stay positive!! The fact they're show so early is a really good sign! I'll be lurking to see your tests tomorrow (or if you're anything like me, later today haha)

 

[NightFlower]

@NightFlower that’s definitely a BFP! I understand the worry but keeping everything crossed this is it for you!

AF was due for me today and nothing, still getting BFPs but I just don’t think they’re dark enough and with my temp being so low, it’s only a matter of time before the bleeding starts. It’s the limbo I’m finding most difficult.

I hope my tests get darker in a few days. Sorry your in limbo I've been there many times. Hope af stays aways and your tests darken up.

As always, I am so hopeful for you!!

Hi sweetheart... I know your rooting for me. How are you doing?

I'm going to do my best to stay positive. I am actually nervous about testing more. I just want to see nice dark lines soon.

I am trying to be okay. Post COVID is kicking my butt. I went from hours of yoga, 5 miles ran, 10 miles biked the week before I got COVID to feeling really wiped out after standing for 10 minutes.
And I went to the ER last night for new onset neuropathy.
I think we will try this cycle, but as off as my body feels, I don't think it will work.

So hopeful for you love.

Sorry covid is kicking your butt. I went through the same when I had it. I had long symptoms for 3 months after. Hope things work out if you do decide to try. Thinking of you

I think I will try. OPK is high today and I am definitely wanting it. But I am a realist, and know that as sick as I have been, I may not ovulate.
Just trying to manage expectations.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Thanks love, I did test BFN on 12DPO - I’ll show you my logged symptoms on my notes because I feel like they’re very messy compared to when I logged my son, it was all so obvious and straightforward. Not sure what happened this cycle.

I can only imagine how hard it is to remain positive, but try not to lose hope, my friend just had her 2nd daughter at 45 and her first was at 40, I believe there were several losses in-between but she has her rainbow- we are all right with you and with all of us praying hard for you, I believe your rainbow will come! We’re right behind you.

Thanks so much lovely.
Was that a natural conception or did she have fertility treatment?
You had some good symptoms the whole way through the 2ww. I definitely would of been excited if I had all that.
I’m 5dpo today and absolutely nothing.
Felt a bit sick earlier but didn’t feel like pregnancy sickness. no cramps or anything. Just nothing really.
I really hope I do get my rainbow. But I’m jot hopeful for this cycle at all. With zero symptoms.

I know if still nothing by 8dpo then I’m out. And onto cycle and month 13 ttc

My temp dropped again this morning. Well below coverline now. Test was still positive but I just don’t think it’s progressed enough for 11DPO.

I’m still holding out for a miracle for you hon: wish that blooming temp would go up. Have you tried using the same test as you used yesterday? I have no idea how sensitive those tests your using today are. It’s so so heartbreaking having lines not progress. And also heartbreaking having lines that do progress but still losing. It just all stinks.
Hugs my sweet

Fmu & smu 8dpo
Lines came up in time just hope they're not evaps. Will do more tomorrow. Don't want to get my hopes up.

These look good:
I’ve never ever gotten lines at 8dpo. Always BFN.
Fx these get darker and this is it for you hon.
I have zero symptoms so pretty sure I’m going to be out

I think I will try. OPK is high today and I am definitely wanting it. But I am a realist, and know that as sick as I have been, I may not ovulate.

I really hope you ovulate hon.
I was like you after covid. Like just walking up the stairs felt like I’d ran a marathon. So so tired all the time.
It lasted a few weeks after and then I was fine.
Fx for ovulation soon hon.

It was natural conception, I don’t know how many cycles they tried through but I know there were several losses and her eldest is 6, they wanted a close gap so have been trying for several years. Their youngest is about 6months now.
I feel really nervous today, my nausea has subsided whereas yesterday I felt awful in the morning, and all I have is cramping/backache which to me feels like contraction backache, but without the actual contractions. My boobs are still tender - I’m scared that this baby won’t stick, really trying to remain positive!

 

[jellybeanxx]

My tests are basically negative this morning so looking like a chemical. Just waiting for the bleeding now. Absolutely devastated. Over 2 years of trying, I turn 40 in a week and this felt like it was actually happening.

I think cramping and backache is normal hun. I had it with all 4 of my chemicals before I conceived my son, so when I had it all with him I was convinced he wouldn’t stick but he was obviously perfectly healthy. Try not to worry although I know that’s impossible

Oh my love I’m so sorry. I’m absolutely devastated for you. Massive hugs. Chemicals are heartbreaking

That’s given me a pinch of hope.
I’m sorry your feeling anxious.
I had terrible cramps and backache with the chemical, but I also had it with my 3 year old son and he was perfectly healthy. so it can be very normal.
Are you still testing or have you stopped now?

oh hon I’m so so sorry. It really is so so unfair. I’m so sad for you.

AFM 6dpo
And nothing to report.
Feeling very not pregnant.
Will start baby aspirin at 8dpo just incase, and then stop it when AF shows.
Just no this cycle is a no again.

Oh hun I'm so so sorry Hugs!!! I had a chemical around 2 years and 4 months of trying this time around (fist positive I'd seen the whole time with perfect timing every month). I finally did get my sticky rainbow 9 months later. There is hope But I know any loss is absolutely devastating! Praying your rainbow is around the corner

Hugs! Take comfort in that this early symptoms are very hit or miss. I had HORRIBLE cramping that doubled me over with my son around the 5 week mark and it happened every single night it seemed for about a week. Scared me SO bad, but he's a perfectly healthy 4 year old. With him and my daughter I had absolutely no morning sickness until the 6 week mark. Then it hit like a mack truck. This time around was the first time I ever had nausea before 6 weeks (I actually had some before my BFP). So pregnancy symptoms can vary a lot and definitely come and go in the early days especially.

Praying you get a beautiful surprise BFP with your sticky rainbow this month Hugs!!!

 

[littlewitch]

CD 12 for me. I don't think I will ovulate this cycle. Last month when I had my chemical pregnancy, my high and peak OPK lasted 36 hours. This cycle, my OPK had only one high reading and time from high to peak only lasted 18 hours.
I know I am being negative, but I think recent COVID is going to prevent my ovulation this cycle.
Bummed.
According to PreMom app today is ovulation day, CD 12. We BD on CD 6, 9, and 11. Only time will tell, but I feel already feel out.

 

[Suggerhoney]

Praying you get a beautiful surprise BFP with your sticky rainbow this month Hugs!!!

Thanks hon. Your so kind.




Apps can be way out hon. I used to rely on apps and they always predicted my ovulation wrong.
I really hope you do ovulate hon. I know what it’s like worrying your not going too.
I had that one cycle where I didn’t. It was down to the flu and the bowel thing I had. It was so so worrying. but went onto ovulate the following cycle.
But I really really hope you do ovulate this cycle.
