*** February Testing Thread***

[PinkCupcakes]

Has anyone used these? Looks like clear blue now has pink dye tests.

@wannanewbaby Sorry about af. xxx

@PinkCupcakes Yeah, those seem to be fairly decent

 

[motherofboys]

@J_and_D when I was researching after finding out I only had 6 days I found that the minimum you need to be able to fall pregnant is 9 days. I have fallen pregnant at 9 and 10 days so it's totally possible. Though I get why you're stressing, I worry about late implantation and not having enough hormone to stop my period from happening.

 

[motherofboys]

@wannanewbaby I'm sorry

@PinkCupcakes I've not seen those before but would be interesting to see what they are like

 

[Suggerhoney]

I've used them before, but its been about 8 years since I used one when actually pregnant so I guess that a drop in quality shouldn't surprise me. They weren't the best then. I swear I'm seeing a shadow within time, but it could be anything at this point. If af doesn't show today I'll order another brand tomorrow.

Yeah they just not that sensitive hon.
Hope AF stays away hon and those shadows turn into lines

@Suggerhoney thank you that’s my girl Gracie when she was a pup. Oh can u? I binned it aswell

Ahhh she's beautiful hon.
Oh no, hope when u test again u get a darker line.
I binned Mt 10 11 and 12dpo ICs because my lines whent fainter with FMU at 12dpo and i though I was going to have another chemical.
Turns out my FMU was just rubbish and got darker lines later on.
Wish I kept them ICs now

J_and _D that's a big no from me. We are complete with our Nov 2020 baby. My 3 babies are 3.5 and under, I don't think I could handle any more. I just like cheering people on. Especially seeing those that having been trying for awhile.

Yay for positive opk! Get to BDing!

So nice to have u hear cheering everyone on hon, I stayed on here after have DS but then got broody again haha.

So I’m 13dpt12dpiui and I am SOOOO dizzy today it’s insane also I’m out of FRERs so I had to use a cheapie and of course it’s BFN ugh I’m also having weird cramps since I woke up

Pink I see what the other ladies are saying ure latest test has a pink line hon

Hi everyone, sorry i haven't be active on here for a bit. i have been popping on last few days and reading. I have tried to stay really relaxed this month. I don't think we caught the egg this month, don't think we did enough bding or even at the right time. I could be anywhere between 7dpo -9dpo. If i am 9dpo then af is coming this weekend. We only bded twice in the fertile week cd 15 and cd 17. I can O from cd 15 to cd 18. will be very surprised if we get a bfp as we have bd more in fertile week and spot on the right days and still not got a bfp so guessing no chance this month. I am so temped to buy some OPK if af comes, i dnt know if its caused me more stress not knowing what day O was. i have then saved in my basket on amazon. Still keeping testing day as the 16th as af would be late by then. had some af like pains today it really felt like she was coming, haven't had my sore throat like i normally get. nipples are sore like normal. Maybe i should get some OPK and some clearblue ovulation tests too.

good luck to all testing now and still waiting to test.

We hardly BD hon I think it was cd8 and cd10 and evening of cd11.
I O on cd 10.
U definitely have a good chance app its best not to BD everyday and just every other.
FX u get a surprise BFP, I was 100% sure that I was out.

I know what you mean about more stress not knowing. I have friends that tell me that I should just ignore my ovulation date and relax (can’t do that even if I wanted as I have o pain every month), but I know I’d be WAY more stressed not knowing when I ovulated compared to knowing and then being able to tell if I’m actually late for af or not.

I kept getting hold the same.
Just relax don't track ovulation don't do this don't do that just BD when u want and it will happen.
But I cud never ignore O because I got O pain and all the other signs, there was no way I cud just ignore it.

All I did was stop temping. I had been temping since Feb last year and in Jan I was just I can't be bothered but I still did OPKs.
I did take a more relaxed approach as In if it happens it happens and if it don't then it don't.
When I was in the 2ww I pretended I was at the start of my cycle and I know that sounds strange but it did help me not to focus so much on what DPO I was at etc.
But by the time I hit 6dpo then I was looking for any signs.
I had sore boobs at 6 and 7dpo and a little neaeaa, and loss of appetite and then from 8dpo absolutely nothing.
A little Heart burn on the morning of 10dpo then zero symptoms until I hit just over 5 weeks.
With my last 2 pregnancies I had loads of symptoms b4 BFP but with this one nothing just the loss of appetite.
Good luck sweety hope this will be ure month and u can come join us all again.

Well I went out for frers but could not get any for love nor money! So I have various tests to try and will prob do one later on tonight xx

I can't wait hon. Good luck I can't wait to see lines

Af showed this morning 2 days earlier than expected. Went ahead and ordered ovulation test for next month. Onto cycle number 5 hope the ovulation test help!!

Urghhhh so sorry the came hon.
I always used OPKs loved them.
Hope u catch this cycle

Has anyone used these? Looks like clear blue now has pink dye tests.

Oh wow they look so cool.
We can't get them here. They look about like Frer but CB I want some lol.
Read the reviews hon see what peeps are saying about them I've never seen them tests b4. We get CB here but only blue dye.

 

[Lottielouf]

Couldn’t get hold of frers so I got a few digi tests which I’ll probs save for a day or so and some normal clearblue ones which is usually avoid but for the sake of testing I thought I’d give them a go... I got this straight away on the clearblue...

Rooting for you ladies so much.

@realbeauty86
Girrlllll did u test again I'm over here like waiting for photos hahaha I'm all excited hehe



@MinnieMcMoose

I will ask hon. Seems like some hospitals in the UK give photos but mine never have of any scans apart from the dating sign 12-13 weeks and the 20 weeks scan.
I don't know why. But I will definitely ask it can't hurt to ask she can either say yes or no.
Mite use DH as and excuse because he can't come with.
Just praying it goes well. I'm gonna be so nervous.

Good luck those just waiting to test in next few days praying to see lots of BFPs popping up.
Looks like we already have some but we need more.

@Bevziibubble ah hon I'm sorry but also glad ies finlay out of shitty limbo.
Has this made you want to start ttc?
I will definitely be following ure journey if u do and will be rooting u on all the way

Lmao. I’m sorry. I actually haven’t tested again. I made an appointment to get bloodwork done next Thursday. So I guess I’m being patient. I have a strong feeling that I may be pregger. At least I’m praying hard on it

Soooo relatable... "oh just don't think about it" damnit I'd be so much more stressed not knowing when ov is/was, I'd be so sad and annoyed ALL the time because I'd be convinced that I missed our window, I really like being able to go "BD is OVER, all sexytime from now on is for us!" it's better to hunker down for a few days, than to shag for a couple of weeks almost on schedule "just in case" arrghh people don't get it!

 

[realbeauty86]

I have everything crossed for you!xx

Thank you. I may test again Saturday or Sunday with a cheapie. Just for you guys...


I believe I am starting implantation bleeding. I am spotting today. It’s light pink for now. Hopefully it stays light and go away. I’m not suppose to start my actually af til next week. So yeah....

Yours showed up good. Mine didn’t but I was only 8dpo I think when I took it

I have fallen pregnant at 9 and 10 days so it's totally possible. Though I get why you're stressing, I worry about late implantation and not having enough hormone to stop my period from happening.

I also have LP 10-11 days long and always worry about my LP being short and Af coming before i have enough hormone in my system but i know it can be done because i have my son and LP has always been that length. Macca root seems to have lengthened it back to what it was since stopping birth control in good time.

 

[motherofboys]

I see that really clearly lottie. I know CB have a reputation, but that line is nice and think and not all that faint at all. Obviously double check with pink dye but I'd say congratulations were on order

I plan to I’ve had some nasty evaps in the past on CB tests so I’m going to keep testing with my pink dye cheapies and then confirm with digi and maybe my first response rapid result ones too xx

 

[motherofboys]

Good thinking. I hope this isn't a bad evap!

Fingers crossed luv, we demand more tests, appease the POAS gods!!!

 

[Teafor2]

@Lottielouf Yay! That is definitely a bfp

@Suggerhoney I like the idea of treating the tww like the start of your cycle. After having two chemicals in a row I think I’ll be shocked if I don’t get pregnant again next month. It’s crazy how after my surgery I’ve gone from not even a hint of a positive for a year and a half to two bfps in 3 months. It’s just changed my expectations so much.
Hoping I’ll be able to join you over in the pregnancy groups again soon!

@patienceiav Yes about how bd is just for us after o is over! I used to always prefer doing it in my fertile period because I’m more in the mood, but with all this ttc I enjoy it more in the tww now because it’s just for fun and not attached to ttc at all.
