February Cherubs | Testing Thread

@Suggerhoney :hugs: it can be so hard to stay hopeful especially at those difficult milestones. I really hope this is your cycle!

@Ellybean ugh so sorry lovely, take it easy and all the best for next cycle!

@Babydreaming9 yay! Always so good to see it in words!

@josephine3 thanks! I did my nails to cheer myself up, always gives me a bit of a bounce to have fresh nails!
Sorry you’re having a rubbish time :hugs: I hope things pick up for you soon!

@markswife10 thanks! I keep having to remind myself it’s very early. If it wasn’t for my temp dropping I’d probably be feeling quite excited.

@NightFlower ooh I see that!! Good luck!
 
I’m so sorry that you feel this way hun, I’ll still be monitoring the March thread and sending you so much luck for this cycle!

I had no symptoms really beside cramping / bubbling til 13DPO, so it could still be possible. This TWW has been completely different to my son.

I did another test today as I felt it could have been an evap but has progressed a lot since yesterday so hoping that’s a good sign.
And I got it in writing on a digital, so this will be my last photo post and I’ll be keeping an eye on the threads and sending positive messages throughout xxxx

Oh wow that’s loads darker. Looking good.
Did you test bfn at 12dpo I can’t remember if you said.
With this chemical I just had, my lines got fainter.
I think I implanted at 11 and 12dpo which I read has a 87% loss rate.
But I see you had pains at 10dpo so you probably implanted then. I had bad cramps the evening of 11dpo and 12dpo and also when I got BFP at 13dpo I had cramps that night too. I also had that bubbling but was a good few days b4 I got BFP. I had zero other symptoms.
Congratulations hon.
I’m hoping for a BFP at 10dpo.
Only because my BFP last cycle at 13dpo ended in a loss. So fx I get lines by 10 latest. I pray it will be very viable and healthy and strong, and a take home baby at full term.
Just don’t have any hope for this cycle tho. I’ve just lost all hope now:-(


Still early hun. Fx’d you’ll get a clear bfp in a few days



Omg! How amazing. Congratulations hun I’m so happy for you



thanks lovely. I’m feeling fed up too and just feels like a bad omen already for this cycle. Got a full on migraine today, had enough of feeling poorly. Feeling like poop :-(



praying this is a sticky, healthy little bean hun. Keeping it all tightly crossed for you



oh sweetie, I’m sorry your feeling so down. Really hope this is your cycle. :hugs:



sorry af came hun. Hope she eases up on you. Mines been tough this cycle too.

thanks hon.
Just kind of know this isn’t the cycle. I think when we know we just know.
But still only 4dpo so still time for things to change.
Symptoms started around 6dpo with both sons.
Last cycle I was breaking out from 4dpo which I new was odd.
Not happening this cycle tho. But with my boys I never broke out.
Hoping for some symptoms in a few days, followed by a clear BFP no later than 10dpo.
And extra praying it will be a sticky take home baby BFP[-o<
I just have that feeling it will be BFN tho :-(

sorry your feeling so poo lovely .
I hate migraines there awful.
:hugs:

@Babydreaming9 yay for the the digi!

Afm I'm cd 14, I forgot to buy ov strips which was stupid of me I have just one left will probably use it tomorrow as I usually ov on cd 16-17. Already feeling out this cycle before I've even ov'd I've been really not eating well not taken my vits etc and have had some arguments with oh. Generally having a shit week tbh. We did dtd today but can't see us doing it much again this cycle. So I've no hope.


I’ve been feeling out too, even b4 I ovulated and even now I have ovulated and we got perfect timings I still feel out.
It’s such a sucky feeling.
Hope we both get a lovely surprise hon[-o<


Looks like a was off by 2 days app says I'm 7dpo today. Oops 8-[
Took a hpt and got a what looks like a evap. I've never had a line on these unless pregnant always stark white when neg. Hoping it will turn into a bfp.

I see that hon.
Them mommed tests are awful tho.
There not sensitive at all.
Even when I had matching lines, or very close to matching lines on all my tests last June. Those mommed ones were fainter by a lot.
But they did start to catch up from 14dpo.
What are those other tests?

I've never actually gotten a digital positive
before! (Back when we had the first three I was too broke/frugal to spring for them, haha.) :bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp::bfp:

Yes that’s definitely true hon.
I think with how long it’s taking too just makes you lose hope.
Esp as I used to be one of those very lucky ones that would fall quickly.
So a year of trying feels like forever.
I absolutely take my hat off to all you Long term trying ladies.
I get to join that group next cycle. Never quite made it there with my son, but definitely think I’ll be hitting it this time.
I don’t know I just feel out.
I’ve felt out even b4 I ovulated.
Hoping I will get some things going on by 6dpo.
Had bad implantation cramps with my son at 6dpo and again at 10dpo.
But had a faint but clear BFP at 10dpo.
I’ve got everything crossed so much for you hon.
I hope this is it and that temp goes up. And those lines keep progressing.
And I pray I’ll be following you into that November due date group[-o<[-o<[-o<[-o<

@Suggerhoney the blue ones are called testic I used them with my cp and used a lot of them only got 2 lines on 1 of them. That was right before it became a loss.

Oooh I’ve not heard of them hon.
Well I’m keeping everything crossed for you hon. That you will have a clear line in a few days. And it will be supper supper dupper extra healthy and sticky.
It’s so nerve wracking isn’t it when you have recurring pregnancy loss.
I pray pray pray so much we both get sticky full term take home healthy rainbow baby BFPs this cycle hon.
I’ve now just turned 5dpo now as gone midnight. I really hope I start getting symptoms around 6dpo like I did with my boys.
I literally want it all. Hmmm lol May regret saying this later lol.
Nah tbh any symptoms followed by a sticky BFP will be most welcome.

Pretty sure it's because I'm in my 40s that's why I can't get baby to stick. Maybe just bad eggs. Just have to keep ttc till I get my rainbow baby ....give up or except that it's never going to happen. Hoping it won't get to that tho.

I've tried so many things and nothing has helped. Prenatals, baby aspirin, vitex, progesterone cream ect. Womens fertility help pills ect..

Praying we both get very very sticky rainbow babies soon. Looking forward to seeing your tests when it's time. Your right behind me. :dust:

I’m pretty sure my losses are down to age too.
I feel so so pushed for time now too. It’s just extra stressful when your in your 40s isn’t it. Because we have a huge biological clock ticking away.
I did fall with my son at 41 after 4 possibly 5 losses.
So I have high hopes for you hon.
Not so hopeful about myself unfortunately. I just know at 43 I don’t stand much chance of getting a sticky,
I just really feel I’m going to be getting BFN this cycle,
But praying my gut feeling is wrong.

I’m getting to that stage now where I just feel like giving up.

I pray so so much we can both move on from ttc and be pregnant with our heathy rainbows and in due date groups, and get to stay in those due date groups and share our scans and then share our healthy take home newborns. [-o&lt;[-o&lt;[-o&lt;[-o&lt;[-o&lt;[-o&lt;

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.

@Babydreaming9 yay for the the digi!

Afm I'm cd 14, I forgot to buy ov strips which was stupid of me I have just one left will probably use it tomorrow as I usually ov on cd 16-17. Already feeling out this cycle before I've even ov'd I've been really not eating well not taken my vits etc and have had some arguments with oh. Generally having a shit week tbh. We did dtd today but can't see us doing it much again this cycle. So I've no hope.

I hope things start looking up for you. It’s hard to feel positive when everything feels so rubbish. Hopefully you get a peak opk and can get another try in. After the first try last cycle my mood dropped so I wasn’t really feeling up to it which wasn’t nice but I was scared to miss my chance. Felt forced. Hoping this cycle I’ll feel more positive coz that’s not the way I’d like baby being conceived.

Decided to take a momMed to see if it also had 2 lines it has a shadow line.
Just have to wait and see if they are evaps or get pinker. Only have like 5 momMed left and like 90 of the blue handle ones. Ordered another brand but never came so waiting on a refund from that. :-=

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.

oh I’m so sorry your tests aren’t any darker. It’s heartbreaking. I’m still keeping everything crossed for you that they’ll start to darken up
 
I've been stalking this thread, just wanted to say @NightFlower I see lines on every test picture! fingers crossed it keeps getting darker!
 
@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.
