February Cherubs | Testing Thread

[xZoeyx]

Huge congrats on your pregnancy!! Wow! So so nice to hear quick stories of BFPs here!! What's a "topside" kid?

Topside just means not an angel baby, as I have had 2 miscarriages and have 2 ''topside'' (living children)!

Oh that's interesting I've never heard that term I just honestly thought it was a typo of earthside lol

 

[josephine3]

Fresh tests and the dried dodgy one - look how frustratingly positive it looks esp on the edges!! Ugghh. I gotta stop obsessing for the day I think, I know it's nothing as the others are practically bfns.

 

[josephine3]

Why must I go back to tests to drive myself crazy, now there's a bloody line on it!!

 

[Laurabub84]

@littlewitch there’s still time for a bfp hun. Try not to lose hope yet

@Newbie87 hope you get your rainbow bfp soon. I’m not sure about being more fertile after a miscarriage. My bleeding from mine lasted 34 days and then by my chart I ovulated a couple of days after the bleeding stopped but didn’t fall pregnant. But I have read getting pregnant in the first 6 months after is less likely to end in another miscarriage. Praying that’s true for all of us.

@Saradavies89 sounds like you timed bd well. I’m sure you wouldn’t have missed ovulation

@xZoeyx your tests don’t upset me at all hun. I love to see them progressing. It’s what this thread is for.

@Pink.Rose yay for solid smilie. Good luck

@josephine3 i feel like I see something on all your tests. What dpo are you now? Sorry if you’ve already said

@jellybeanxx i always found when I had my anovulatory cycles my opks always seemed to be dark the whole time. Faint ones sound promising for a normal cycle. I hope you ovulate soon

@xxmyheartxx i would have to follow up that test just to be sure. Hope it’s not a dodgy one

@Suggerhoney I’m so sorry sweetheart. I just hope so much this next cycle is the one that brings you your healthy little baby

@Emsabub i think I’m 2dpo today too. Just waiting on ff to give me crosshairs hopefully tomorrow morning. We’ll be testing around the same time

@ehjmorris i hope af stays away and you get a lovely surprise

@NightFlower im so sorry af came hun. I hope this new cycles back to normal for you

Afm I think I’m 2dpo today. Hoping ff will confirm tomorrow and I can finally have a test date. I’m so anxious for my morning temperature. It did go up a little again today so I’m cautiously hopeful

 

[josephine3]

@Laurabub84 wow you are good at keeping up with everyone!!
Im 10dpo today sorry for all the pics today I've driven myself a little mad x

 

[HalfricanMa]

@Laurabub84 glad your temp went up and made you feel hopeful. I had a slight increase but i still dont think i’ve ovulated unfortunately.

 

[xZoeyx]

@josephine3 I'm convinced you'll see a more clear line in the next 48hrs. It cannot be coincidence to have that many with v v faint.

AFM - Lines are getting darker but not as dark as I'd hoped but then again I'm still 4 days from due AF! So actually I guess looking at then that way they are really good. I had some pretty intense cramps last night that had me concerned, some light cramping/aching this morning so I'm just praying it's nothing. I dunno what it is this time but I can't seem to accept I'm pregnant. Never an issue before but this time I'm very "meh". So I'm praying once AF is due and doesn't show that I can let myself connect a little.

 

[tdog]

@xZoeyx they are looking good the cramping can be normal it's just bean snuggling I still cramp here and there just rhe uterus stretching, early days have you panicky tho xx

 

[josephine3]

@xZoeyx I'm not so convinced. This happens to me a the time!

 

[AlwaysTheAunt]

@Suggerhoney what a roller coaster of emotions these past few days. Sending the biggest hug across the ditch, im so sorry for another loss xx I'm still praying you fall soon with a healthy baby and you feel complete

@Laurabub84 Fingers crossed for a good temp rise to confirm ovulation! Your peak looked good

 

[Laurabub84]

@Laurabub84 wow you are good at keeping up with everyone!!
Im 10dpo today sorry for all the pics today I've driven myself a little mad x

I’m so hoping to see a more obvious line from you today, somethings caught my eye on all the tests you’ve posted. Keeping everything crossed for you

@Laurabub84 glad your temp went up and made you feel hopeful. I had a slight increase but i still dont think i’ve ovulated unfortunately.

Thank you hun. I really hope you have ovulated. It’s horrible constantly having to question it. Could you post your chart?

I think your tests look fab. Cramping early has always happened to me. Despite knowing it’s normal it still does worry you but I would say it’s little bean getting snug and everything stretching in there.

ff and premom app have both confirmed ovulation
My temps have been a little higher than normal for me throughout this cycle tho. I’ve never had a baseline this high. It’s usually just below or just above 36.10 and this cycles is 36.28. So quite a difference. I really hope it’s nothing to be concerned about. I’d hate for it to affect my chances of getting pregnant. I just hope everythings back to normal in there after the miscarriage. Urgh! Always something to worry about just need to try and chill out and accept what will be, will be. So happy and relieved to see those crosshairs this morning tho. I think we got bd covered so at least I can feel confident we’ve given it a good shot this cycle. Now we wait. @NDH i hope you’re doing ok hun and af is almost done with. I can finally give a testing date. Could you plz put me down for the 14th (9dpo). How lovely it would be to get a bfp on Valentine’s Day

 

[josephine3]

@Laurabub84 oh yay for ovulation confirmed! That's great everything crossed for you x
@littlewitch any more tests from you?
@xxmyheartxx or you too? Yours really looked pos even with the dye run x

 

[Suggerhoney]

@josephine3
The spotting stopped in the end. Only had it once. I didn’t bother testing because my tests got gradually fainter. I’ve had so many chemicals I know how they work.
And today I’m light bleeding red. So looks like it’s starting.
Thank you for replying tho and I really hope your tests get darker.
I won’t be testing again now until March so will still pop in a out of here to see how your all doing. But will be joining the march testing group as soon as there is one.
Praying so so hard I get my sticky take home baby BFP in March

@littlewitch
9dpo is still so early hon. Remember you saying it’s 10dpo for you normally.
That’s normally me too. It’s always been 10dpo I get lines when pregnant. But this time it was 13dpo I got lines. Sadly it’s another chemical miscarriage tho.
I hope you see lines when you test again tomorrow hon.

@xZoeyx
I guess I’m ok. Just feel sad. I really wish my tests got darker and this was a sticky but I’ve woken up with red bleeding today. Only light at the moment but I’m sure it will pick up later.
Please don’t feel like you can’t post your tests here because of me. This is a testing group and that’s what it’s for.
With my miscarriage last June I was posting my tests daily sometimes twice a day. They were matching lines by 13dpo but I still posted them daily.
I used to be like you and fall so so quickly.
It’s only since I turned 40 it’s been hard.
We were ttc for 11 months with my son. I fell on cycle 11 and I had 4 chemical miscarriages b4 I fell with him. I was falling pregnant every other month practically, but losing. Then I fell with him when I had just turned 41 and he’s 17 months old now.
Now I’m bleeding this is cycle and month 12 ttc.
I just pray so much I fall again this cycle and it will be my take home sticky rainbow baby BFP.
Thank you for being so kind.
And massive congratulations.
Hope to still see you pop in the testing groups.
I hate it when women get pregnant and then never come back. Esp as we all feel like family on here. So don’t be a stranger.
I certainly will be staying in the testing groups to cheer everyone on if I do fall with my rainbow.
I was on the verge of giving up trying . But now I’ve had this chemical it’s shown me that I am still fertile and has given me that extra push.
I would love a October or November birth. And I’m always induced 3 weeks early so I need to fall this cycle or next.
I pray so much I do.

@NightFlower
That’s so strange and so frustrating.
Silly question but are you sure it’s AF?
Are you sure your 3dpo and 5 or 6 as could be implantation.
Just clutching at some straws.

it it is AF, I think we are cycle buddies.
I’m bleeding red today but only when wiping. If it picks up later then today will be cd1.

@Pink.Rose
Sending so much sticky baby dust for you this cycle hon

@ehjmorris
I hope af stays away and you get your rainbow BFP hon.


@HalfricanMa
Oh no no no I’m so sorry your temps have not gone up. I had one cycle where I didn’t ovulate. And it’s so so stressful and worrying. I did go into ovulate the following cycle tho.
How many days ago did you get your peak opk? Could it be a slow riser? Sorry I know what your feeling right now and it’s just awful.
Hope that temp jumps up tomorrow


@Xxzoe85xx
I’m so sorry about the cramping. I had major cramping on Saturday all day. The day I was getting BFP and I was so hoping it was bean getting snug but unfortunately it wasn’t.
I hope yours is tho.

@AlwaysTheAunt
Thanks hon. I really pray so much I fall again this cycle with my rainbow.
You know the so say after a miscarriage your more fertile. Hope that will be the case this time around. That was my first BFP since the miscarriage last June. It felt so long time coming and I’m just so sad I’m losing again. But it has given me the push to keep on trying.
Also noticed the maca I’ve been taking is not 2000mg per tablet like I thought. There only 500mg per tablet and because I thought they were 2000mg I’ve only been taking 1.
I was taking 4 a day with my son. So 2000mg. I boosted them up in the December and then fell with him in the January.
So praying so so hard now I’ve upped them to 2000mg I fall again very quickly and it will be my take home healthy happy little rainbow.
I just want my little rainbow and one more time being pregnant and then I’ll be complete.
Just pray it happens and it will be soon.
I’m 44 in December and I feel I have no time.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@Laurabub84
Yay for crosshairs.
I have a good feeling about you and can see you falling again soon.
It’s so cool you will be testing on Valentine’s Day.
Hope you get that sticky BFP. And I pray I get mine in March, but I’m so worried it’s going to be more constant BFNs again or more losses.

[Suggerhoney]

Well cd1 for me now ladies? Bleeding has picked up.

Gonna be such a nervous wreck when it comes around to testing again

And I’ve started taking B vitamins along with all my other supplements.
Vitamin D
Folate
Coq10.

so hoping I fall again this cycle and all these vitamins help it to be supper sticky and healthy
