February testing thread 2019

[Rainbow1234]

I tested this morning too (far too early but needed to POAS) I’m only 8dpo and it’s negative. Feel totally deflated even though I know that’s silly and it’s still really early.

I have no idea how to upload photo's anymore with the forum changes but pretty sure ypu can put me down for a bfp.

I'm 9dpo and tge really faint lines I was getting on Sunday and yesterday are now actually, this evening, a prety decent thick pink line for a faint one. Showed Dan and he saw it from about 6ft away so although still a faint line, it's not hard to see and it came up in 2 minutes.

I only did an evening test as my boobs, specifically my nipples as in my first pregnancy, were killing me on my way home from a course earlier.

With my history of chemicals, early losses and mc's I'm not getting excited yet, but it is looking good that the lines keep getting darker!

Lots of baby dust to everyone! Xxx

Aw congratulations. Got everything crossed for a sticky bean.

Hi ladies, I have been TTC for a year with my first. I ovulated around 26th Jan and since Friday have had weird crampy period pains, I am gassy and feel a little light headed. I'm praying these are good signs but I've noticed alot of women mention boobs hurting my mine are normal? I've taken an early detection pregnancy test every day since Sunday and absolutely nothing (BFN) which is very disheartening. My AF is due on Saturday and its killing me not knowing what is going on. I can't stop thinking about it! Eeek!! xx

 

[Hendy1]

I think AF will be here for me today. We've had a lot of negatives so far this month

We really have

 

[GeekMaker]

Well we still wanna TTC. Since I am not using strips, dunno when I am ovulating for sure any day now. I felt like giving up and took it out on my husband. I feel embarrassed but like you ladies understand. I feel like you are the only ones who do lol

 

[Sazmeena]

11DPO and a BFN for me this morning

Same for me hun, very disheartening but we can't lose hope. Sending baby dust to you xxx

I had a day 21 progesterone (I have a 27-28 day cycle) and it confirms I ovulated so that's good as I'm not temping or OPK'ing at the moment. CD 23 today and BFN on an IC as saving my FRER's for weekend.

Feels like it would be a miracle to conceive now so expecting AF is my norm now. When AF does come really hoping the hospital can fit me in for my tube check that cycle as they couldn't last month

What levels were your progesterone?

 

[soffphie]

At a loss...
My progesterone levels have come back low. They like 30+ mine are 20nml/L.
I had them taken day 21 @ 6dpo..
Im so confused... What does this even mean?
Im guessing such low levels mean i havent caught this cycle either...
Does anyone have any experience in low progesterone? What does it mean in terms of fertility? How do they help me? I have so many questions.. ive attached my chart for anyone to pick at & analyse.
Just any insight any advice as to what this means for my future ttc

Honestly, pregnancy symptoms can change between people and pregnancies so there's really no way to tell but hope is never lost until af shows so think positive thoughts if you can xx

Hooray! Huge congrats, GG!

I’m still waiting for my period to start. Still spotting, to be fair it’s a little heavier today, but I am missing the agony that normally accomapnies the first day of my period (I feel entirely normal) and my boobs are still sore.

I’m just cross at the moment. Why can’t it just start. I’m fed up with being uncomfortable

Massive congratulations! I said you would go quickly this time as your body knows what to do now! Xx

Hi Girls,
So i'm now 13DPO and have been having weird cramps and shooting pain in my boob since 6DPO. I feel tired and emotional and slightly light headed and basically just not myself (can't describe it) I've been doing HPT since 9DPO and all BFN. I've been ttc for a year now and i'm wondering if this is just all wishful thinking. I'd love to know if any of you have felt the same way and what you outcome was? I'm driving myself nuts xx

Massive congratulations! I said you would go quickly this time as your body knows what to do now! Xx

You did indeed.

How long is your cycle Sophie?

How long is your cycle Sophie?

hi, according to my FF stats over last 13 cycles...

28-34 day cycles
12-15 luteal phase
ovulation 15-20

this specific cycle i had early ovulation at day 15. i think they are going to tell me i havent ovulated but i just cannot believe that... i have high temps etc... it makes me think are all my temps not true.. all this time etc..

My fertility clinic who i would go to wrote me this and i quote: this indicates that you have ovulated when i told them my 20 level.

So so sooo confused. ive read horror stories that low progesterone could mean if i got pregnant i wouldnt be able to carry to full term etc!

however ive been really really stupid stressed, i mean ridiculous stressed. problem with me is i have suffered in past with OCD, Anxiety and Depression.. it all cleared up until this .. untill no baby and the thoughts of never having a baby etc

The reason I ask is that day 21 is helpful if you have an avg 28 day cycle. It could be that it was still on the rise which obviously you won't know unless you had it tested days in a row. From what I've read online women have conceived with progesterone of less than 30.
Then there's levels required for sustaining the pregnancy and women who have a low level at this point would then experience miscarriage.

Totally understand the impact on your mental health. This TTC journey is an absolute mind f*ck!!! I can understand why it causes so many arguements between couples/friends/family. It might be good to implement some of your strategies to help cope with any symptoms to avoid any worsening?

Sending hugs, we get it. xx
