January Snowdrops +*+* Testing Thread *+*+ Ring in the New Year with BFPs!

[Laurabub84]

@S_Dowd i hope af doesn’t show and you get a surprise bfp.
My lp can vary between 14-16 days so there’s still time for af to show going by when it first thought I’d ovulated as I’d be 14dpo if it hadn’t changed. I hadn’t started opks or any other tracking because my bleeding from the miscarriage had only stopped literally the day before my temps starting rising. It lasted 35 days altogether. I wasn’t expecting anything to happen and was going to wait a week before starting opks. Got so far and then it changed predicted Ovulation from cd36 to cd43. I guess there’s a chance they could be right now. I did note down that I had cramping and felt bloated the day or two before the new predicted date. Just a waiting game I guess. If af isn’t here by Saturday and my temps are still up I’ll try another hpt. Just don’t want to get my hopes up for a second time for another let down.

@jellybeanxx my lp can vary between 14-16 days. So if ff was originally right when it predicted cd36 as ovulation then I’d be 14dpo today. So I’m still preparing myself for the temp drop and af by the weekend. Sometimes my temp doesn’t drop until cd1-2 which can be annoying as it keeps my hopes up to the end. I don’t now want to get my hopes up for a second time in the last 2 weeks that I might be pregnant. I’ve already wasted loads of tests. My new predicted ovulation makes me
7/8dpo. I did feel cramps and bloated the day or two before then so who knows. I’m clueless having not tried any opks. I would have started taking them before if ff hadn’t convinced me I’d already ovulated the day after the bleeding stopped from the miscarriage. It took me by surprise

@littlewitch sorry for the bfn. I hope theres still time for that to change. I’ve never tried the Mira device but sounds interesting

@josephine3 i’m glad your appointment went well but sorry for the spotting. What horrid timing. I’ve never had a hsg but I do remember reading about someone getting pregnant after having that done. I couldn’t personally advise on it tho.

@NightFlower Symptoms sound promising, hoping they’re signs of an impending bfp and not the illness. Feel better soon. Look forward to seeing those tests. Good luck

@josephine3 little missy is doing amazing just that my pregnancy is high risk and almost lost mu life to covid on Xmas day and blood pressure is always all over the place so I'm here snuggled up but my little side kick keeps me company when she wants a bit of mum time and likes to do hair makeup and nails lol xx

 

[markswife10]

So about 15 mins before my appointment I had brown tinged cm on wiping. This is a sure sign af will be here any moment for me. How cruel is my body to do that minutes before my appt?! Its like it was waiting!!
So she asked all the usual questions, weight, medical history etc and booked me in for a transvaginal scan to see ovaries better but said everything else they already saw on the abdominal looked fine. I already had my day 21 progesterone bloods done and even though I'm sure it was a few days early she said as my levels were so good there was no need to repeat them. I was worried they might still have been high from ovulation as I didn't ov on that cycle till day 18 but she seemed to think that didn't matter. She's booking oh a semen analysis (much to his dismay - like that's the hardest thing they have to go through in all this lol) and offered me an hsg. I'm not sure wether to do it or not.. As much as I dislike the idea of a foreign object in my uterus it seems some women do get results after.. Anyone ever had one? What's it like?
@S_Dowd and @Laurabub84 I'm still hoping for you both this cycle good luck for your next tests!
Im considering myself out unless a miracle happens and af doesn't show by tomoro x

Sounds like you have a good start to fertility diagnostics! Sounds like standard stuff they check (DH and I had all that checked before I got pregnant with my first, and, again, when TTC our 4 year old). I had an HSG done the month I got pregnant with my daughter. I ovulated a little over a week later and got a BFP 10 days after that! Fingers crossed you have the same result! It wasn't horrible, but it was like a bad period cramp. The Dr did it so I knew the results right away and watched the dye in my uterus/tubes while he was doing it. I took Ibuprofen about an hour beforehand to help with any pain. Good luck!

@Pinkfizz2015 Oh darn mystery is one of the few genres I don't read. So Nancy Drew is about all I can recommend in that genre lol. Hopefully some other mystery lovers in here will have some recommendations for you. If you enjoy fantasy and/or sci fi at all, I highly recommend Brandon Sanderson's novels. His books are a lot of fun with interesting characters and lots of twists and surprises. But I get it if that isn't your jam.

@Laurabub84 Oh gosh that's so frustrating. I think waiting until Saturday before you start testing again is a good idea. If AF still hasn't come, then it's probably pretty likely you ovulated on the second date. Waiting/being in limbo is the worst, so I'm sorry you are going through that.

@NightFlower Ooooo that sounds soooo promising! Good luck!

AF showed up this afternoon. Boooo. It sucks, but I knew it was coming so that helps a little bit. So on to February for me. Good luck to everyone still waiting to see. I am cheering and hoping for each one of you

@Pinkfizz2015 im reading a really good book at the moment it’s called
The Couple At No.9
By Claire Douglass.
It’s a crime story but I don’t know who did the crime.
My nan loves her books and read it b4 me and said it’s brilliant and lots of twists and turns.

it’s about a young couple living in a cottage in the british countryside.
Anyway there having the cottage renovated and 2 skeletons get discovered by builders in there back Garden.
The cottage was previously owned but the women’s grand mother who rented it out around the time of the murders.
It’s so so good:


Also on Netflix as I know we was chatting about Stranger Things back in the early summer.

I just watched a serious called YOU on there and I really enjoyed it.
Season 4 of that is coming out in Feb.

also watched One Of Us Is Lying
That was good as well.

@S_Dowd
So sorry the witch arrived love. It stinks.
Hugs to you.

@josephine3
So sorry to you too hon. Esp right b4 your appointment. So sorry you had hopeful lines to be left disappointed. Hugs to you too.

@littlewitch
Is it me or is there something on that bottom test?


@Laurabub84
Oh my lovely I’m so sorry your having a wacky cycle. Did you feel ovulation or have any signs of it?

 

[Pink.Rose]

Just started the 2 week wait, so I will be testing later this month. Really hoping this is our month! My Due date would be the day after my husbands birthday, which is also his sisters birthday! We've been trying for just shy of a year now Currently on cycle 13.

Good luck to those still in the wait!

 

[Suggerhoney]

Also on Netflix
Wednesday is absolutely amazing.

Hi love and welcome.
I’m month and cycle 11 ttc now so not far behind you.
So glad to have you hear.
Hope the 2ww goes fast for you.

 

[Suggerhoney]

@NightFlower
How you feeling hon?

I have everything crossed for you this cycle.


Thought bleeding had stopped. Even took my sanitary towel off today. Been having watery cm so I thought I’m gonna do a ovulation test. I know only cd6 but I have ovulated on cd8 in the past after chemicals.
Was worrying a bit because I know ovulating too early is no good. anyway I was in the kitchen and felt fluid coming from down there. Thought watery cm so grabbed a opk just to make sure. It’s blood.
Not a lot but bright red.

Thanks Suggerhoney ❤ not feeling to good tonight. Tired ..Feel like I have a fever I had chills on and off and Felt dizzy earlier today.

Oh no bless you hon.
That’s how I was when I had covid in January and July,
Had mega chills. The most worst headache and neck ache and then the following day my upper and lower back hurt a lot,
Its so nasty
I felt so so tried too,

I really hope you get better soon love,
It’s awful being unwell like that in the 2ww.
My symptoms hit at 7dpo when I had it in July,
AF showed really early at just 11dpo,
I didn’t even do a test because I felt so unwell,

Really hope when it comes around to testing you will feel so much better, praying AF stays away and you get a supper sticky healthy rainbow

 

[S_Dowd]

@Suggerhoney I've had my period stop like that before for several hours and then start back up again. It's so weird. My mom told me it happened to her every month, so she knew to expect it. Our bodies are so strange sometimes lol

@NightFlower I'm so sorry you are feeling so crummy. Did you take another Covid test to see? Oh I hope with all my heart you get a rainbow BFP this month. You've been through so much, and I want it so badly for you.

@Pink.Rose Good luck! I read in your siggy that you are trying after a vasectomy reversal. My little sister and I are only here because our dad had his reversed! It took my mom a while to get pregnant with me after the reversal. I hope so much that you get a beautiful BFP this month

 

[NightFlower]

Bless you ladies yes I took another looks the same. Think it maybe tried to start but my body wouldn't let it. Idk. Think it's just a bad cold. But I've still been quarantining myself just to be on the safe side. OH has been so good taking care of me.

Going to try and get some sleep as it's after 11pm. Chat with you all tomorrow.

 

[Bevziibubble]

@NightFlower I hope you feel better soon

 

[Laurabub84]

@S_Dowd I’m sorry af got you. Good luck for February.

@Suggerhoney i hate when that happens. Finally feel happy you’re done for it to start again. So annoying.
I wasn’t paying any attention to any ovulation signs straight from the bleeding because I didn’t expect anything to happen. I planned to wait a week and start opks. I’m glad I started temping now really.
My temp took a dive this morning so I’m preparing for af this weekend but then comparing it to dd4’s chart I took a big dip with her so I still don’t really know what to think. I don’t think I’m pregnant tho.

@NightFlower i hope you start feeling better

 

[Laurabub84]

My temps dropped this morning. I think af will be here this weekend. Keep feeling mildly crampy on and off and tmi, have that wet sensation like it’s gonna start. I’m gonna be sad I think but also relieved to get it over with. I think I’d have been nervous if I would have conceived again before my next period incase it caused any problems. Also it will save any confusion on dates. Will be happy to get it out of the way so we can get on and try again. I hope it takes the last of the shadow lines with it too. Only thing is I compared to my chart with dd4 and I had a similar dip with her so I don’t really know what to think. I’m more convinced af is coming tho. Urgh, the waiting. I just want to know one way or the other
I’ll attach this mornings chart compared to my daughters. If af doesn’t show tomorrow will see if my temp goes back up in the morning. I just don’t want to keep getting hopeful for nothing

current chart Dd4

 

[tdog]

@Laurabub84 looking at your chart I'm more inclined to say af might be on her way mine always use to go below cover line when af arrived good luck lovely xx

 

[josephine3]

@S_Dowd sorry af got you, she's here for me too, sulk sulk. But that makes us cycle buddies! Cd1 yesterday for me I think I'll count it as x

 

[Laurabub84]

@tdog me too, although that is really high compared to my normal cover line. Usually it’s just below or just above 36.10

I’m massively overthinking things now. I had a two day break where the bleeding stopped and then started again. They warned my first period could be longer than normal so now I’m wondering if I jumped straight into af and I’ve already had it and that I actually ovulated on what would be cd20, which is in my normal range. So I could maybe be 8dpo. Omg I’m so confused. Think I’m clutching at straws. If I cut off the gap it looks like a normal cycle.

I don’t know how I could change cd24 to cd1 and see what it would look like as a new cycle.
