February Testing Thread **Fabulous February BFP's!**

[Kholl]

@night owl you know I'll be stalking!

 

[RainbowMama]

Just catching up...

@night owl, Fingers crossed this is your BFP! That line is PINK - I’d be super surprised if that isn’t your BFP! Keep testing!



@Mrsbridge17, If you need a break - go for it. I’ll be joining you.
Yay for ordering SI! That OPK looks very strong! Fingers crossed! Sorry lovely, had a few days off.. Not feeling hopeful for this cycle x


@Littleperson, Try to stay positive. This journey is hard totally, but try to stay positive I think these IC’s are just so bad, I am sure I am out.


@bellecat, Sorry to hear AF has arrived.


@flowerbomb, Welcome to the thread. Sorry to hear of your loss. Feel free to PM me if needed, I MC in Dec and January, they were my 13th and 14th miscarriages so I understand your pain.

AFM - 10DPO - Pretty sure I'm out. AF due Thursday, I only have an 11 day LP. I've had so many promising symptoms but since the 'maybe positive', I've had no further indications we've been successful, so I'm counting myself as out. I'll be taking a month off from TTC because this journey is hard. I've been TTC 29 long months, and I think our relationship needs some work at the moment.
I miscarried in December & January (13th and 14th miscarriages) so I need to mentally overcome these, I saw this quote and it definitely sums up how I'm feeling right now.

I'll still be on here though to wish you all positive vibes and of course to stalk @night owl and hopefully her BFP post!

@RainbowMama i know the feeling lovely I felt the same last month! Have you tested again? I think I’ve got my usual AF symptoms this month CD22 today so maybe I have already ovulated . As I’ve said before though the only reason we are taking a break is I cannot have another December baby it would cripple us financially to have them all in the same month! Depending if and when I get AF we might be able to squeeze in one last go lol!

Yes lovely, re-tested with a range of tests, despite the continued breast pain and sensitivity and all the other symptoms, I'm pretty sure it'll amount to nothing sadly.
Hmm, maybe you have ovulated! I really hope you can temp as that'll tell you for certain if and when you've ovulated - my DM is always open.

Awww I’m sorry I’ve just done my opk and that’s looking stronger than yesterday so I’m just confused now I’ve been testing with these twice a day now just to use them up as can’t be used again. Come to the realisation I’ve probably not been using the strips correctly 100% of the time not holding pee etc so I could well have missed it and have done the same on previous cycles also ha wish there was a head smacking emoji on here what an idiot I am!

That’s odd I thought the strip test had a line on it last time xx

It did... Goes to show these aren't reliable either.

When have you been testing? Still looks like a strong result, possibly a high? What did the monitor say?
<-- That one?

 

[RainbowMama]

With CB digital OPK's you are supposed to use them with FMU (which goes against almost all of the OPK rulebook) but it's when they said you should use them...

[RainbowMama]

Have you seen more than 9 days worth of 'high' readings? They suggest to stop testing after 9 days..

''Test once a day

Only test once a day until you see High Fertility - For reliable High Fertility results you must use the urine from after your longest sleep. - When you have seen High Fertility you can test more often, but avoid excess fluid intake before testing.''

I do use the CB with FMU and in the instructions it says when it’s flashing you can test twice a day which I have been but it’s still just flashing. I think because I have such a short LP it’s possible I could need progesterone so off to hunt for some of that now xx

This is day 8 x

 

[RainbowMama]

I didn't realise it said you can test 2x a day whilst high! It's been years since I used the dual, I had been using my advance monitor and that was useless...

I bought some OTC progesterone cream from Amazon, I don't know whether it works or not...

Ive just had a look at Amazon and can’t find anything. Then I read it is banned in the U.K. so maybe that is why xx

Sorry to hear of your difficulties with this journey hun, it is a gut wrenching journey for many women (and their partners), there’s so much emotion, hope and longing attached to the desire for those 2 pink lines, I know once the hope is in your head and your heart it does not go away and only a baby can solve it, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you, do you tend to catch easily but miscarry a lot? There is something called the ‘unfussy uterus’ theory, I don’t know if you’ve ever come across it before but it’s an interesting read, not saying it applies to you but some experts think quite a few women could have it x

 

[night owl]

So I’ve tested again today, I’m either 10 or 11dpo, used another 25 miu/ml test, this one is definitely an obvious positive, I had a fair bit of nausea last night and this morning too

 

[night owl]

Second morning urine test

 

[night owl]

Different lighting lol

 

[night owl]

I can’t quite believe it, in all honesty I probably would have waited a bit longer before trying for another but my age is a factor I had to think about (I’m nearly 37) and I had the idea to just get it done and get the baby and toddler years done (I’ll only be having 2 in total), the childcare costs are going to cripple us but hey ho I’ll deal with that at the time!

 

[Mrsbridge17]

that looks close to a positive to me, what cycle day are you on now?

I’m on CD22 Honestly not holding out much hope at all for this cycle. Hopefully we can just get this one out the way quickly so I can start the SI and give it one last go next cycle before we have to pause for a bit x
