*** February Testing Thread***

[MinnieMcMoose]

I forgot to update to say I'm out.
Think I'm gonna take a little break for a few months, just until I've had my Covid vaccine, whenever that might be.
I've just turned 39 and it feels like this ttc battle is slowly slipping away from me.
We literally had our first IVF appointment booked when we fell pregnant in 2018, which seemed to give us a bit of false hope that we didn't need IVF at all. But I guess it's something we need to revisit again, before it's too late.

I'm so sorry

So sorry @MinnieMcMoose xxx

WE had a lot of ladies scheduled to test yesterday! Do we have new tests to look at? I'll be testing a little later. Fingers crossed.

BFN for me at 9dpo this morning. Thought I saw something at first but I’m pretty sure I was just seeing things.

 

[motherofboys]

Fingers crossed for all those still waiting to test.

Still early days yet so fingers crossed!

Sitting here all thoughtful at 11dpo, today is AF day and so far not even a hint of spotting (even went "digging" cuz we all know this stuff goes 180 as soon as you expect something to have changed) feeling exactly the same as I have since about 8dpo, just... mild bits of everything :/ wasn't in the mood to test this morning cuz I figured no way AF won't come today! I'm too scared to hope, soon as I test it'll be BFN and then AF will come, I know it! And yet....

 

[motherofboys]

Thats always the way isn't it? She stays away until you test. I literally will not pee directly on a stock any more as I've peed on so many in the past and had af start before the dye has been started to run across. If you can make it until tomorrow with no spotting then dare to hope

Hi ladies....not sure if this will work, I've not tried to upload pics in a long time but here goes...

9dpo and there is something there, not sure if you guys can see it? its got some colour irl and I know I often see things on ic's but this looks a bit stronger. I so hope this is our rainbow! I've been feeling really positive this cycle so fingers crossed!!

 

[motherofboys]

I can definitely see *something* there!

 

[BabyBrain80]

I can definitely see *something* there!

I'm really struggling to get it on camera! I can't believe it, I've peed on like 4 of them over the day and its gotten a bit clearer. Hopefully I will have something to show you guys in a day or 2!

@Bevziibubble I'm trying to stay calm but I'm so excited/nervous/scared!! Lol xx

That's understandable!

 

[gigglebox]

babybrain I totally see that! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee tentative congratulations and I look forward so some darker tests!!!

ugh Patience isn't that always how it goes!!!?! that has happened to me so many times. I got to the point where I just will not test the day af is due. I rather just wait for her to show because the blank test and then bleeding immediately after taking it is like adding insult to injury, as they say.

Minnie I'm so sorry to read that. huge hugs! would IUI be a possibility vs. ivf?

well afm I was having those impossibly faint pink lines but the test yesterday was totally blank and af showed this morning. we weren't ttc but this "slip up" has opened a conversation about possibly going for #4 before we're officially done. We'll see...

Hugs, I hope that you can come to an agreement over number 4.

@MinnieMcMoose so sorry

@BabyBrain80 I think I see the shadow of something... hope it is the start of a bfp!

I just had my appointment with my gynaecologist and she said that it’s great I can definitely get pregnant because it has happened twice in two month. It’s possible the chemicals were just bad luck, but she thinks it could be that the corpus luteum is not strong enough.

She has prescribed me progesterone to start taking on cd 16 (or after I ovulate) and until I either get my period or I get to cd 40 and I’m still having a negative pregnancy test.

I have a follow up in April and if I’m not pregnant by then we can try Femera. I’m REALLY hoping I can just get pregnant this month, do the progesterone, and boom baby. But we’ll see.

She also said it looks like I’ll ovulate in about 2 days based on my follicle, so these little pinching o pains I’ve been feeling have just been the follicle growing.

Any ladies that have used progesterone please give me all the information!

 

[J_and_D]

I get super sore nipples most months after o. It feels like they’re on fire. I haven’t ever tried to do anything to help, just yell at dh to keep his hands off haha

That's what I've been doing lol
