Big congrats!

 

[HalfricanMa]

thanks hun. I won’t be testing anymore this cycle. Didn’t really want to this morning because I’m like you and if I’m negative at 10dpo then I know it’s not happened. All my pregnancy’s and chemicals I’ve always had lines by 9/10dpo. My chart looks more like my non pregnant or chemical ones so I’m just gonna wait for af now. Really hope she’ll just show at 14dpo so I can move on to a new cycle but sometimes it holds out until 16/17dpo latest. Until it comes I can’t roughly work out when I might ovulate next as it can be between cd16-25 and I’ve got a horrible feeling it’s going to fall when he’s on night shifts again. Just feeling hopeless at the moment
I hope you ovulate soon and it doesn’t keep you waiting this cycle



still plenty of time hun

Im sorry you’re feeling down. I know the frustration of cycles where its difficult or impossible to even have a shot. DH has only been home from military deployment for 2 attempt (and the first he barely arrived for ovulation, no days before) and now he’ll be gone again soon. Sucks because i don't think this cycle worked.

afm, i tested this morning with fmu and it’s negative. I guess yesterday was evap. It seemed hopeful because i have been using those test strips and havent had that.

 

[Pink.Rose]

Took another. 9 dpo today and still nothing. I know I'm not out yet but I just don't feel like this cycle worked either.

 

[NDH]

Congrats Emsabub!

Hugs to everyone who is feeling discouraged by BFNs.


I plugged in this mornings temp and FF gave me crosshairs all the way back on CD10. I really think I only ovulated on CD11 though.
But I'm satisfied I've ovulated anyway so I'm putting the thermometer away, and I will try to hold off on testing until the 27th. How that I have tests in the house though I may not be able to hold off until I'm late though

11dpo, wasn’t even gonna bother with testing this morning but did just because and bfn like I knew they’d be. Feeling absolutely crushed. I’m so worried with how long the bleeding took to stop after the miscarriage that somethings now wrong in there to stop me falling pregnant. I honestly don’t know how I’ll come to terms with not being able to have this baby I so desperately want. Especially after getting to 12 weeks with my last baby and losing them. I just want to be pregnant again so much. My stupid body gave me some promising symptoms the last week. Won’t trust any symptoms anymore after this

I am so sorry. TTC after loss can be cruel. I really, really believe that it will happen for you. Xx

@NDH that chart is looking good! I think we’re around the same place in the TWW and can try to resist testing together!
(I am the worst person to be trying to resist testing with, I have zero willpower when it comes to POAS )

@Suggerhoney keeping everything crossed for you this cycle my lovely!

@Laurabub84 TTC is such a rollercoaster and you’ve really been through it. Sending loads of love!

@HalfricanMa sorry for the BFN! Especially after those lines! Will you test again?

@Pink.Rose it’s definitely early days but I know it’s hard to keep the faith when you’re getting BFNs, hope your next test gives you a good second line!

I had a very slight dip in temp this morning but that’s common for me at 3DPO and FF gave crosshairs this morning so I guess I’m in the TWW? I always find it hard to feel confident that ovulation has happened. I have so many anovulatory cycles and don’t always get on with OPKs. There was never a solid smiley on the digi this cycle and the cheapies were very close but not quite positive. Will just have to take it one day at a time. If my temps stay up then I’ll aim to test 24th Feb. I’ll probably start a couple of days earlier though.
I’m going down to London for the cup final on 26th so will definitely test before that!

Oh my love it just sucks so so much.
I always get lines by 10dpo too but with this latest chemical I had bfn at 10 11 and 12dpo then the faint BFP at 13dpo.
Hoping that won’t happen again because everything I read about late implantation said it will end in loss. And it did.
But with all my other losses, the 4 in 2020 and the 2 last year I implanted between 7 and 8dpo and still lost.
But you have more chance of getting a sticky with a 6 to 9dpo implantation.
I don’t know why that one I just lost implanted so late.
I’m hoping that doesn’t happen again and we fall again and it implants at the perfect time and will be extra sticky
With my 3 year old he implanted at 8dpo and I got my BFP at 10dpo.
And with my youngest I implanted at 6dpo and got my BFP at 10dpo.
With the miscarriage last June that one implanted at 8dpo and got BFP again at 10dpo.
And with all 4 chemicals in 2020 I had lines at 10dpo. This latest loss was my 10th loss in total.

my AF don’t usually show until 17dpo so it’s always such a long long wait.
And like you I can’t say when I will ovulate as it can be anytime from cd11 up until cd18.
Was cd20 once but that was after covid.
So I don’t have any idea when I will ovulate, I had a open circle on my CB today and a vvv faint line on the cheapie so I guess I’ve still got a while to wait yet.
Hoping the extra maca and the B vitamins complex won’t delay it,
I know how your feeling right now and it’s just awful.
Sending massive hugs my lovely and you know where I am if you need me.

Im sorry you’re feeling down. I know the frustration of cycles where its difficult or impossible to even have a shot. DH has only been home from military deployment for 2 attempt (and the first he barely arrived for ovulation, no days before) and now he’ll be gone again soon.

afm, i tested this morning with fmu and it’s negative. I guess yesterday was evap. It seemed hopeful because i have been using those test strips and havent had that.

oh no I’m sorry lovely.
Was that a wondfo? I find they do give shadow lines.
I’ve had a few batches of them in these 12 months we have been ttc and some would be stark white and others would have shadows.
I find alot of ICs do that and it’s just so wrong.
I still hope you get that BFP this cycle.

Took another. 9 dpo today and still nothing. I know I'm not out yet but I just don't feel like this cycle worked either.

It’s the worst feeling just knowing your out isn’t it.
I know it ended in another loss for me, but I was a million percent sure I was out last cycle then had those surprise faint BFPs at 13dpo.
Was testing from 8dpo and all BFN until 13dpo.
I normally always always get lines by 10dpo when pregnant.
Just pray if we do catch again it will be extra sticky and that I will have lines by 10dpo latest.
Already feeling out this cycle and I’ve not even ovulated yet. Sending love and hugs your way and I’ve got everything crossed for a BFP tomorrow for you.
10dpo is the day for me.
Even with my son I tested bfn at 8dpo and then didn’t test at 9dpo because I thought I was out.
Woke up at 10dpo with some mild reflux which I new was not like me.
I only get that when pregnant but usually not until 3rd trimester.
But I tested that day at 10dpo and got my BFP.
It was faint. But by 13 dpo I had matching lines on Frer and matching lines on easy@home at 14dpo.
And a line stealer at 15dpo.
I pray so much we both get out sticky take home baby BFPs very soon hon.
And hoping you will see lines tomorrow.
Fingers so tightly crossed .

Congrats Emsabub!

I ovulated on cd10 with my youngest.
Would love to ovulate on cd10 again, but I seem to be ovulating alot later now.
It sucks because it’s such a long wait.
Have ovulated earlier after chemicals in the past but cd9 today and got a open circle and only a vvvv faint line on the cheapie, so I guess I have a while to wait yet.
Praying we both get our sticky rainbow BFPs this cycle hon

Awww thanks hon.
I’m keeping everything crossed for you too.
So so happy FF gave you crosshairs.
I reckon you missed your peak.
Ive done that b4 when I’ve had a short peak.
It’s so easily done.
Just so happy your finally in the 2ww.

Aw congratulations!!!!

AFM I don’t a cheap test yesterday it was strong done one this morning and it ten times lighter feel like AF will come Sunday now xxx

 

[tdog]

@Saradavies89 so sorry lovely just hope it's the case that your p was diluted xx

 

[Saradavies89]

I have done another and it’s back up again so I don’t think my FMU is the best tbh or the test was rubbish, so top pic with black and white tiles yesterday test and bottom todays xxx

There's no pic love? My fmu was always broken aswell thank goodness for that xxx

I always found that fmu was 'stale' and read somewhere the hcg had already started to break down. Smu is definitely better

 

[Saradavies89]

Yesterdays is the top one todays is the bottom one. Xxx

 

[jellybeanxx]

@Saradavies89 those are looking good! There really does seem to be variation in those early days that can be worrying for those of us who are frequent testers! You’re going in the right direction though!

@Emsabub that’s really interesting and makes a lot of sense!

My temp was up this morning. For some reason FF put me back a day to 3DPO but I don’t think that’s right. I put the day of my darkest OPK in and it’s put me at 4DPO so I’ll stick with that! Probably too early to start testing right…?

 

[Pink.Rose]

Well, 10 dpo today and this mornings test was once again negative. I wonder if it's worth trying to cup method next time around... I'm so tired of waiting month after month

 

[Laurabub84]

afm, i tested this morning with fmu and it’s negative. I guess yesterday was evap. It seemed hopeful because i have been using those test strips and havent had that.

god hun I couldn’t imagine how hard that just be that he’s away so you can’t try at all. I’m so sorry that stupid test got your hopes up. I had an awful evap on yesterday mornings when I went to throw it away. It of course made me do another to check and it was bfn. Tests can be so evil sometimes. This was my horrid evap. Just wanted to give me one last rush of false hope

Took another. 9 dpo today and still nothing. I know I'm not out yet but I just don't feel like this cycle worked either.

sorry for the bfn hun. It’s horrible when you feel out but you do still have time for that to change. Best of luck

I am so sorry. TTC after loss can be cruel. I really, really believe that it will happen for you. Xx

thank you lovely.

your tests look great hun.

@Suggerhoney thank you sweetheart. I hope you can start to feel more hopeful when ovulation comes around. I hope it doesn’t keep you waiting late. I find it doesn’t help having a late ovulation as it just gives you more time to build up the doubt and feelings of hopelessness. Praying it’s just around the corner for you and it’s a super strong healthy egg

 

[HalfricanMa]

Well, 10 dpo today and this mornings test was once again negative. I wonder if it's worth trying to cup method next time around... I'm so tired of waiting month after month

Sorry it was negative; still plenty of time for it to become positive yet.
I used the cup when i conceived my son. It usually hurt me to take the cup out so i haven't tried it again but hey, next cycle is month 11 so i may!! This month I’ve been wearing a belly warmer since just after ovulation. It was the other thing I had done when i conceived. Those 2 things were all i switched up in the month i fell pregnant compared to the months prior.
Im sick of the wait too. Just want to be pregnant already! Good luck.

 

[NDH]

Oh gosh Laura that is a wicked evap.

Pink.rose sorry for the bfn again

Saradavies89 I'm sorry you were worried by your earlier text.your lines are looking great though.

Jellybean I'm so pleased you have a good ovulation pattern on your chart, even if your Digi never stopped flashing. I'd definitely rely on a thermal shidt more than OPks though. Good luck to you at testing time cycle buddy.
