Magical Maypoles ~*May testing thread*~

Congratulations @NightFlower and @littlewitch !

I'm 13dpo/14dpo today and another clear as day BFN. Feeling pretty disappointed as I thought I had some promising symptoms. Although I'm new to this board I have been wanting a baby for many years and my heart breaks a little with every period. At 38 I've seen so many of my friends and colleagues have babies around me and it has been hard but I started to feel hopeful these last few months as my partner is on board to try.

I’m sorry for the bfn. Try not to lose hope hun. Are you taking any preconception supplements? Might be worth trying to give your body its best chance. Hope it happens for you very soon

Oh @littlewitch BFP congratulations.
So good to get lines at 9dpo.
I would love that so much.
Stick stick stick.

@josephine3 i know how your feeling love, seeing all the bfps in April i so desperately wanted to get mine and get to join the ladies. Im devastated that I didnt get mine too.
And now im 17dpo and still no sign of AF. Like not even spotting. This waiting is truly horrible.
I did test again, and again it was white as white bfn.
I new i was out when i didnt have any symptoms at all and no cramping by 8dpo, i just new i was going to be out again, then the bfn at 10dpo just confirmed it.
And a week later and still no af.
The latest it usually shows is 17dpo.
We even dtd in the hope it would get going but nothing.

With my dd and 2 youngest sons i had symptoms from 6dpo onwards.
My youngest implanted at 6 dpo and i really felt it. Then 10dpo i got faint lines.
I had on off sore boobs and felt a bit queezy and supper bloated.
Sore boobs is usully one of my first signs and then cramping and then the queezyness. Also sharp shooting pains in one of the boobs. Metallic taste.

But the 3 losses ive had last year and the 3rd this year i had no symptoms apart from cramping and bloating, and with the 3rd loss in feb i was breaking out all over my fave from 4dpo.
But no sore boobs and no feeling quezzy.
I always always have cramping around 6 7 8dpo when pregnant.
So if no cramping and no symptoms then i know im not pregnant.
When you know you just know.
So I want to fall again and have all the symptoms b4 i even test. Just like with my boys and dd.
I want line stealers too at 5 weeks like i did with my boys.
And also a 3+ on a digital at 5 weeks too.
Same as with my sons.

It was lack of symptoms that worried me last June when i had blazing BFPs .
I had terrible cramping at 8 dpo but no sore boobs or anything.
So when i got bfp at 10dpo i couldn't believe it.
And even tho my tests progressed daily and got so so dark i just new the no symptoms were not a good sign.
Then when my digital still said 1-2 at 4+4 weeks i just new it wasnt viable.
With my sons and dd i had a 3+ no later than 5+1 weeks.
And total line stealer on frer where the test line stole all the dye from the control line and you could barley see the control line.
With my miscarriage last june my frer got to both lines matching at 13dpo
And never got any darker.

So i really really want too see lines no later than 10dpo.
Then all matching including ICs by 14 dpo and a total line stealer and 3+ no later than 5+1 weeks.
Just like with both my boys.
Then a healthy baby with a strong heartbeat at all scans and then giving birth and bringing home my healthy rainbow baby
Thats all i want so so badly.
I pray pray pray so much our rainbow bfps are only a matter of weeks away.

@littlewitch omg omg congrats hun!!!!

@NightFlower lines still looking great!!!

Afm, 16dpo, NO further signs of AF and ALL bfn. WTH. I've been having cramps, but not even a little pink spotting. I even checked my cervix and no blood up there. It's high but hard so must be coming soon. I wish it would just be here already so we can move on. June 3 is my birthday. Would love to be pregnant around then.

**** @Suggerhoney I feel like we're having such similar cycles going on right now, so odd!

Hope you get that bfp for your birthday hun. Will be keeping everything crossed for you

Also 9 dpo night time tests. Bummers.
Faint Clearblue. Neg first response digital.
When did any of you get a positive on a digital? View attachment 1115350

How strange you first response digital isn’t positive when your other test is clear as day. Digitals can be so nerve wracking to use. I think your tests look great for where you are. Was your sample maybe more diluted when you took it? Maybe try again in a couple of days. Praying for a sticky little bean but I think your tests look fab

Can anyone else see the line or have I got line eye.. came up right away taken maybe after 3 mins will take another at 10 min mark

I see that. Will you test again today?

I am worried that because the digital (9 dpo) was negative, it won't stick.I also took a Clearblue Plus sign test last night that was faint. :(
I am trying not to cry.

Hang in there! It's only natural to be worried after all you've gone through. I hope you have a healthy sticky baby in there!
 
So confused with my cycle this month!

Despite the positive opk at CD 12, I do think I ovulated at CD 17. Yesterday (CD 18) I had lots of gas pains and very mild breast tenderness.

Please someone help me make sense of this chart..

I can see a vvvvfl on a FRER this morning, but I’m having a hard time capturing it on camera. Posting both original and tweaked. Really praying it’s real and not just an indent. I haven’t seen one on my previous FRERs the past few days.

Good luck! I see the line but can't tell if there's pink to it. Hope it darkens up for you!
 
@RedRose19 I see something but had a batch of easy at home that always had shadow lines so I don't trust them unless it's a bit darker.
@shaescott good luck I see something, can't tell if it's pink but those look promising.
 
Hi ladies
I got my cd21 progesterone results.
It say satisfactory but dont understand the numbers.

honestly hun, my clearblues this time have been horrible. I threw my first one in the bin because it was really faint compared to my frer and cheapies and made me panic. I’m really disappointed with them especially as they’re not cheap and with my son they were so good. I thought maybe I had a dodgy one but I got another pack and took my last yesterday at 20dpo and it was still fainter than the control line whereas my cheapies are now so dark their dye stealers and my digital was 3+. Again it went straight in the bin. Your other tests look really good to me for where you are. I know it’s impossible not to worry and panic. Even now i still can’t relax at all. Hang in there and just try and take one day at a time. Today you are pregnant :hugs:

I’d maybe say yesterday just due to the dip and good rise the next day. Hopefully once you’ve got your next couple of days temps it will give you a clearer idea

@littlewitch
Wow thats darker than my lines were at 10dpo with my son and the miscarriage last year.
I would love a line like that at just 9dpo.
Your symptoms will come.
Everyone is different and for me the no symptoms was a bad sign but many other ladies dont have symptoms until later.
I think this is your rainbow.
I really hope and pray ill be joining you in a few weeks. [-o<
 
@Laurabub84 yeah the temp dip/rise is throwing me off too. It definitely felt like I was ovulating CD 17. Yesterday's CM was creamy too vs EWCM on day 17, so I really have no clue.. could be either I guess, just have to wait and see.
 
@Pink.Rose
Id say day 18 for sure hon.
Great temp rise.

@littlewitch
Those cb cross tests are not as sensitive. Nore are the digitals.
Honestly that frer and wondfo for just 9dpo look so so good.
Like i said i never got a bfp until 10dpo and it was faint.
Mine didnt look like yours until 11dpo.

@RedRose19
Think i see something

@shaescott
I think i can see something too.


17dpo here and still no sign of AF. Im so utterly fed up and done with this cycle
Wish she would just show.
10dpo was last friday and ive known ive been out since then. This waiting is pure torture.

I have a appointment on the 22nd may.
You must be so happy seeing that 3+. I really think this is your rainbow.
I pray so much i get mine too.
I really want to see that 3+ at 5 weeks like i did with my sons.
