February testing thread 2019

[soffphie]

My mum told me that my ‘problem’ with my 2 MCs is that I found out I was pregnant too soon?!? I said that when you’re late for your period and AF comes like clockwork who isn’t going to test when TTC??? She said she just ‘waited’ for a few weeks before testing. I reminded her that this was nearly 30 years ago and so the tests wouldn’t have been as sensitive then so maybe that’s what she had to do but when you want something so much and you’re trying for it to happen, it’s all you can think about, it consumes you and there’s no bloody way I could wait weeks to test haha. I know she was just trying to be supportive and say the right thing but it really wasn’t what I wanted to hear at the time.

Yeh bless, she was probably just trying to be as supportive as she could given the circumstances.

I dont think my mum can totally get it either, i mean she wants me to have a child i know she does, but i dont think it crossed her mind once that past year we had been trying unsuccessfully, i think she just thought we wasnt trying sorta thing..

I have a degree of understanding with the testing early. Its something that i think to myself now i got to be very rational and if i am pregnant i will be pregnant if i test slightly late etc and testing before af due etc wont help me. Trust me i know its very hard to not get near AF stage and be wanting to know like now! but as someone said to me, why test early when if you are pregnant youll be pregnant and trying to squint and find lines is just maddening and stressful and i get what they are trying to say to me. I also get why people test before AF due tho so.. haha

Hi ladies. I'm a bit late to the party and don't get as much time to post with a 7 month old mini hulk to wrangle, lol.

But, managed to dtd last night and got a pos opk this morning. Every time we conceived, it was when our timing was this. Obviously we had a few losses but ended up having our little man in June so now, fx for a sibling for him.

Baby dust to you all. I'm off to see who I know in this thread, lol.

Could I please be put down for the 9th for testing xx

 

[_GG_]

I see talk of early testing.

I'm kind of glad I did as I coped and was glad to know that at least conception was happening. Funnily enough though, I don't feel any compulsion to do it this time around and if asked, I think I'd advise people not to as it can turn you into a crazy squinting lady, lol.

Best of luck to you xx

Hey, how are you?

Yes, with our issues we thought it best to just get cracking.

Fx there's baby dust for all of us. X

Good thank you, I’ve had 3 chemicals and starting ivf this year.

Now will you make it to the 9th I wonder or will there be the return of the crazy testing thread! X

Hahaaa, no crazy testing from me now I don't think. Having Kieran has put a totally different spin on it. After 13 years passing between my first pregnancy and ending up having a baby, I am just very thankful to have been lucky so a second would be amazing, but if it doesn't happen, I have nothing to moan about if that makes sense.

What?!? It’s still free for me, maybe it’s because I downloaded it before they started to charge

Can anyone give me some advice. This is my first month using clearblue advanced opks, up until now I’ve just had blank circles and today it’s changed to a solid smile, I had no flashing ones at all. Is that a normal thing that can happen? I worry about everything!

This happened to me one month when I ovulated earlier than normal so I just didn’t start testing early enough to get the flashing smiley. The first day is always a blank circle.

I got pregnant that month too so it was definitely ok xx

My doctor actually told me the same thing. I’ve had a MC and a MMC and he said that years ago women (before protection)wound average around 8 MCS but would have ALOT of kids.
Not sure how helpful that is either. But I’ve tried to find comfort.

Science has advanced hasn’t it so people know more earlier on these days x

Yep, that means start getting busy in the bedroom as it signals the start of your fertile period. Flashing smilie means you're going to ovulate in the next 12-36 hours so definitely get busy then!
