@Bloblo If it helps at all my awesome mother-in-law had 10 kids and she always says that 3 was the hardest and it got easier after that. So if you are pregnant, I hope that can maybe help you feel a little less nervous. With 4 she said you have less of the whole 2 vs 1 thing going on. She said it just seemed to even things out. But I will pray that you have peace either way

@littlewitch I don't see anything yet, either. Drats. And I'm sorry it's bringing up memories from last month. That's so hard.

@NightFlower Oh I hope it isn't the vid. I got it last year 2 days after Christmas and was sick until February. I took liquid Zinc, and it did seem to help me recover faster after I started taking it. I hope you feel better soon.

@S_Dowd Ive never heard anyone call it 'the vid' before lmao We call it 'the rona' lol
@littlewitch sorry about the negative. I'm really hoping for you this month.
I just did my other cb I have no self control. I couldn't really see a line at all. I guess I have to accept I'm out for another month its just so hard. I'm so nervous for my appointment tomorrow even though its only over the phone but oh will be with me on speakerphone too so its gonna feel really weird. And now I could be just getting af for it too or I'll be sat there still not knowing for this cycle. Uggghh it sucks so much. Feels like I'll never see a bfp again. I just want to be pregnant so much. It's been 8 yrs and I've wanted another pretty much ever since.

 

[josephine3]

Of course 10 mins after time it's developed a line arrrgghhhh

 

[josephine3]

The one with no line is of course the one at 5 mins and the other is at about half an hour

Thanks lovely. I'm going to wait and if I feel worse take another test. Could have been the antibody strip. They did dry with 2 lines but looks grayish now. Here is my second covid test. First pic 10mins then 40mins later. Both came out looking like this one so I'm still unsure. Woke up last 2 mornings with a headache and ears hurt for a little while it goes away then running nose. Slight cough. My first symptom in Sept when I had it was ear ache that's why I took them. No body aches or fever so idk playing it safe for now.

@xZoeyx so sorry for the BFNs love, will see you in the February testing group.

@HalfricanMa so good to see you back. I really hope you get to try this cycle.

@ehjmorris I’m so sorry AF got you too love. It really sucks. I’m cd5 so your not far behind me.
Will see you in the February testing group. Praying we both get sticky BFPs love.
Sending gentle hugs your way. Hopefully ovulation will come around quickly for us both.

@josephine3
That’s such a clear line on that clear blue. It does look thin tho.but dark.
Can see something on the one step tests. Not sure about the other ones.
Hope your appointment goes well.

Will be thinking of you.

@littlewitch
Hopefully you will get a nice surprise at 10dpo love.
It’s so hard isn’t it.
We been trying for 11 months now with just the chemical and miscarriage to show for it.
Thought after a miscarriage your supposed to be more fertile but must be a load of rubbish. I’ve not fallen once since I lost in June.
It really feels like I cant get pregnant anymore.
Praying I can and I will.
You too my love.

@S_Dowd bless you hon. I really am so so happy we have you hear.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement.

Oh no I really hope you don’t have covid again love.
My first symptoms both times I had it was chills and a terrible terrible headache. And my neck really hurt. I had upper and lower back ache.
Hope you just have a touch of a cold and not covid.

 

[thencomesbebe]

@NightFlower I'm so sorry love I think that's covid. That's what mine looked like when I had it.

 

[Bloblo]

Negative.

 

[jellybeanxx]

Hello everyone! I’ve had a really busy couple of days and just catching up. Think I’m coming down with something as well, so shivery and my throat is really sore! Still no AF for me. Think it might take a while.

@NDH and @ehjmorris I’m so sorry AF got you both, all the best for the next cycle!

@NightFlower I hope you feel better soon!

@josephine3 I’m seeing lines on these tests, they can’t all be evaps and shadows can they?!

 

[jellybeanxx]

Also, I swear every time I’ve set up one of these threads, I’ve had an anovulatory cycle. So if anyone catches me trying to be helpful and doing it again, please tell me I’m banned from it for my own good

 

[josephine3]

@jellybeanxx I dunno anymore I really don't!! This is the last cb I took this eve, annoyingly the camera isn't picking up how blue it is but its full thickness now too just the problem being its not in timeframe arrghhh

 

[josephine3]

@NightFlower does look like you might have covid hun sorry. Get well soon xx

@Bloblo how do you feel?

 

[Laurabub84]

@josephine3 The CB lines look like horrible evaps to me. The line is too thin. That happened to me a couple of cycles ago and it got my hopes up for nothing. I do see something on the blue one step test, but since those tests have given such horrible evaps for you, I feel like I don't trust it at all. With all my heart I hope it turns into something undeniable. I swear they are making tests worse on purpose so we buy more of them. I am still hoping and praying so hard for you!

@HalfricanMa Welcome back!!! Glad you joined!

@ehjmorris I'm so so sorry. I'm pretty dire I'm right behind you.

@m3mommy Yay!!!!! Congratulations on the positive digital! I wish you a beautiful and healthy pregnancy

I'm 13 dpo today. AF is due today. My temp was up pretty high in my post ovulation range which gave me a little bit of hope, but then I had a teeny tiny bit of spotting when I wiped which means AF is on her way. I didn't even bother testing today once I saw the spotting. I always spot before AF comes full on. So it's only a matter of time, now.

I’m sorry hun. Good luck for next cycle

I can't believe i'm in this thread. Haven't had a period since I fell pregnant with my youngest who is 7m old now. I think it's just breastfeeding that is keeping the periods away, but I've had some strange symptoms (lower back pain, sensitive nipples, stuffy nose, vivid dreams) that made dh ask yesterday "are you pregnant?". And then I realised that we did have unprotected bd ONCE about 6 weeks ago, so I guess I need to test. A bit scared to be honest. Will test once all the kids are in bed tonight.

Good luck. I hope you get the result you want

Sorry who got af I hope February brings you luck!!
Afm I'm 3/4dpo and have had a headache last 2 mornings when waking up and ears hurt a little. Thought maybe I am getting a cold. Took 2 covid tests today and both have a vvvfl. So not sure if I'm getting it again. All 3 of us got it bad in September
(we're vaccinated). Hoping they are just false lines and I just have a cold. Will do another tomorrow if I'm still feeling off. But taking precautions just incase. I'm quarantined to my bedroom for now.

The ultra sensitive cassette wondfos will be here tomorrow earlier than I thought

Will probably try one Saturday just to see how they are. If I'm feeling up to it.

I hope you don’t have covid but if you do I hope you’re not too poorly with it. Good luck for when you test

In other symptom news my opks are still very negative which is unusual for me at this point, and my cm is creamy but with like ewcm mixed in.

weirdly when I was pregnant my opks were completely negative which I found strange. I thought they would have been blazing like a hpt. Weird

9 dpo BFN.
Once again reminding me of last month's lines. I hope I get a BFP again one day.View attachment 1113756

Big hugs hun. 9dpo could still be too early

 

[Laurabub84]

@jellybeanxx oh I hope af shows for you so you can move on. Anovulatory cycles are the worst. Hope you feel better

 

[Pinkfizz2015]

Hi ladies just wanted to pop in and say hi and wish you all luck but I also wanted to wish you all a happy healthy and safe New year (I'm very late to the party with new year wishes was so ill in hospital over festive and new year period). I hope you all get your bfp this year you all deserve that happiness. I hope your all well xx

 

[josephine3]

@Laurabub84 oh that is interesting! How strange!
@Pinkfizz2015 sorry you've been so poorly!

 

[NightFlower]

Thanks ladies ❤ I hope it don't develop and get worse if I do have it.

 

[littlewitch]

@xZoeyx so sorry for the BFNs love, will see you in the February testing group.

@S_Dowd bless you hon. I really am so so happy we have you hear.
Thank you so much for all the encouragement.

I looked back at my tests from last cycle, and my 9 dpo tests were stark BFN. My tests morning if 10 dpo were positive. So a lot can change in one day.
However, I don't think I am pregnant this cycle. I did not have any cramping at all so far in the TWW, and for me, I always do if I am pregnant.

 

[Bloblo]

@NightFlower does look like you might have covid hun sorry. Get well soon xx

@Bloblo how do you feel?

I feel mostly relief, so it's all good.
