***September testing group***

Suggerhoney --i think these tests prove that you still have good eggs. :)

aww thanks love. Good luck this cycle


@Suggerhoney :hugs: it’s just rubbish isn’t it? I don’t know why we keep putting ourselves through it, it definitely gets harder each time and feels less and less likely. You have a good fertility history on your side though, and while when you’re in the midst of it, 11 months of trying can feel like an eternity, it’s still within the range of normal so I wouldn’t take that as a sign it’ll take a really long time this time around. I know how difficult it is to be positive at this point in a cycle though!

@josephine3 I know exactly what you mean about staring at tests. Can’t be good for our eyes! I do see something on that but can’t quite focus on it if that makes sense?

@elmum thanks lovely, I don’t think it was the time of day, when I’ve been pregnant before I’ve had my strongest lines in the afternoon/evening. Plus I’d been out and hadn’t really drunk anything and had a few hours hold.

I guess I’ll just have to see what tomorrow brings. My entire TTC experience tends to be constant limbo. I wish I had predictable cycles!

I’m always so so negative when I get to this part and BFNs.
It must be so so hard when ure cycles are a bit wacky. I remember when I ovulated late a. Few cycles and I was panicking like crazy.

I always feel like giving up when I get to this part of my cycle. It’s just knowing I have to wait to bleed then ovulation and it feels like so long.
But then when I get my peak I get all excited and hopeful.
I did a bunch of other tests. I wondfo 10mlU and some crappy mommed tests which I don’t rate. There not sensitive at all. Even with the miscarriage and them dark tests, the mommed ones were dark but lighter than the others.
@tdog said they were terrible for progression for her as well. So I dumped 6 in the same sample just to get rid. Probably still have a few left. I have so many tests it’s crazy.
Only 2 Frer left now tho but if I do fall I will get more Frer then.
Just gonna use what I have for now.
See those white handle with purple hcg tests I’ve never had problems with. I got 60 of them off eBay they were 3 pound something for 30 of them so very cheap. I’ve used them a lot and when I’m not pregnant I’ve not had even a shadow on one. So I don’t understand why I had that line at 8dpo on that and babyplan. And now nothing.
So frustrating.
I will test again as I normally do until 12 dpo but after that I will probably stop and just wait for AF.
Wish Af would show at 13dpo instead of 15 16dpo. And last cycle it was 17dpo. Oh well never mind.
Fx for when you do test again love. Praying ure lines come back and are darker.


would be well nice if me you and @tdog all fell with our take home rainbows around the same time. Would love to be in the same due date group. That would be supper awesome.

being in limbo is absolutely horrible.
Hugs love
 
@Suggerhoney i just got the cheapest brand coq10. Theyre 300mg ones will post a pic. That and BD 3 days straight with no lube is the couple things different this cycle xx

I feel like the coq10 really helped my CM this month too and had a higher sex drive! Which is always helpful haha

Morning ladies! So my fmu was really dark so I had high hopes for my tests.. Can see a line on the one step irl and it looks more distinct than the other shadowy ones, not sure about the cb. My opk was very negative tho so that's annoying! I don't have time to stress about it today tho I'm on my way to work and have to leave early to get my lil girl from school when she comes back from camp! Can't wait to see her! I'm stressing about getting there on time though as they can't give us an exact time they will arrive back at school and I really want to be there to meet her x

1-2dpo and already feeling out :( have been so sick with cold and chest infection. No fever tho, so I’m hoping we still have a chance as the ovulation pain was on the right side (only have one tube on the right)
Have started antibiotics today.

anyone ever been sick around ovulation and still conceived?

I feel like somethings catching my eye on both. My opk are stil very negative despite blazing positives. They were a dud brand though. Fx for your next tests!
 
I at first thought I had a chemical pregnancy, since my lines lightened up a lot and actually went negative; and now today I have lines on easy@home again and my boobs hurt. I know yesterday I did cramp and had some pink spotting. I hate all this up in the air stuff....my dh is always like what will be, will be so he is not much help :haha: I guess I will take a frer maybe next week sometime, see what that shows! <3

Oh that’s exciting news, I get what you mean with frustrating on your part though. I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you xx
 
@jellybeanxx i can sympathise with you hun. I’ve been through this myself over the years. Long cycles anywhere between 70-80 days. My longest was 117 days. It’s soul destroying when ttc and I’m always scared it will happen again one I start trying. I’d have positive ovulation tests on and off all through out which would get my hopes up but my temp wouldn’t rise. Then eventually I would get af with no ovulation at all. Sometimes I would even get positive pregnancy tests for the next one to be negative. It’s so frustrating not knowing where you are. I hope you get answers soon love. It’s horrendous being stuck in limbo.

@AlwaysTheAunt I would love to follow your progression. Please keep posting them

@Suggerhoney still keeping every crossed for you but if this isn’t your cycle then I hope af doesn’t keep you waiting so you can move on.

@josephine3 i feel like somethings catching my eye on the clear blue. Good luck for your next test

@ehjmorris try not to worry hun. I had a bad cold straight after ovulation when I fell with baby#3. I’m sure it won’t affect your chances. I googled to make sure I hadn’t imagined reading it in the past but I found this
How Ovulation Lowers Immune System Function
When a woman is ovulating, her body is readying itself for fertilization. This stage of the menstrual cycle occurs around 14 days before the next period is due. At this stage, a number of changes occur that make fertilization more likely. One of the most important elements of this is the way that ovulation lowers immune system function. This prevents the immune system from attacking the sperm. It allows the sperm to live inside of the reproductive tract long enough for fertilization to occur. This is obviously an important part of the reproductive cycle, but it also creates an increased susceptibility to infection.
Research has shown that ovulation lowers immune system function. This may occur because of the hormone estrogen, which is at its highest levels during ovulation. Estrogen lowers the activity of molecules in the immune system that defend against viruses and bacteria. So, if you’re exposed to these pathogens while you’re ovulating, you’re more likely to become infected by them. These pathogens cause sickness when they invade cells.

sorry it’s long but I think this shows it’s normal to catch some illnesses at this time but it shouldn’t affect you chances of conceiving. Good luck and hope you feel better soon

@Mum2Be22 good luck for when you test

@Xxenssial congratulations. Hope they continue to progress
 
My opk this morning is still positive but I think lighter than last nights. So without temping I’m unsure whether to take yesterday as ovulation or today :shrug:
We bd’d last night and the night before. Should I try and persuade him for one more try tonight or do you think my chances would still be good if today if ovulation? I felt some pains and I little bloated this morning but I don’t know what ovulation pain is like and it only lasted about 10 minutes before easing. What would you ladies do?

first pic is this mornings opk and the one with two was last nights. I hate not temping but I promised him I’d be relaxed about it this time

I would count last nights as peak and today as ovulation if you don't get to bd today aswell your still in with a good chance good luck xx
 
I’m still having high temps, 16th temp above cover-line and a day late for my period if I follow the clearblue peak. If FF is set to only analyzing symptoms, I’m 9 temps above cover, 9 dpo. Either setting it’s still saying my chart is Triphasic but I really wanted a dark positive today!

Do you think that your last AF was actually implantation spotting? Just thinking about the dates. And I usually spot in early pregnancy too, so if you’re getting positives now, that’s a good sign! Fxxxx for you

I feel like you have your bases covered already with the 2x BD before your peak. :)
