Quoting myself with an update - I don't really have anyone to chat to about these things (apart from my partner) so I appreciate reading all of the posts here and it serves to just let me get it out there 😅
View attachment 1419969Shocked to say the least. The weird barely-there period was maybe implantation? Terrified due to a MMC at 11 weeks in 2020. Here's to hoping all stays well and I wish so much love and support to all on the thread.
Congratulations! Wishing you all the best x

two positive tests this morning 😐 didn’t expect that! Now I feel really guilty about the two ciders I had last night…

Just had our donation this morning. This is our 6th month TTC and its starting to wear me down and make me think it's never going to happen. We can only get one donation from our donor once a month so we dont even get the chance to try for the full week, we have to pick the best day that suits both us and the donor in the fertile week and hope that it works.
Sorry for the woe is me message, just feeling really down and a bit dehumanised at the moment. It all feels so clinical and businesslike.

Don't be sorry, it's what this thread is for 😊 I felt the same as you hitting the 6 month mark - we'll get there eventually. Sorry you're in a more difficult situation with waiting for your donor and only having one attempt too, the last thing you need is anything making this more challenging 😭 look after yourself lovely 💕

Amazing! Congratulations 💕 and don't worry about the ciders 😘

AF is due tomorrow but I normally have a little bit of bleeding a couple of days before my period kicks in but I’ve had none of that and still BFN.. I’m very confused atm

I’m down to a one week wait now. I’ve been getting some interesting cramps and pulling sensations over the past few days. I’m hoping only good thoughts at the moment.

I’ve discovered Aldi’s 0% beer and it’s excellent! I actually don’t mind not drinking in the TWW 😆

my sister didn’t know she was pregnant - ran a marathon and celebrated with a bottle of wine. My niece is absolutely fine and healthy! If a pregnancy is meant to be, it’ll be!

currently CD14 and got my peak. I never really know what the tests mean in terms of when we need to have sex. So would this morning, this evening and then Monday evening be enough? Would Tuesday morning be worth it in terms of baby making?

Now you say that, I’ve got a half in October and a trail race I want to do the week after 😂

So the peak means LH is surging which means ovulation is soon (24-72 hours I believe). So it's definitely worth doing it the day you get your peak and over the next few days but I think a lot of people (me included) think they've covered the fertile window and stop too soon so if you feel like doing Tuesday then I'd go for it. I should get my peak tomorrow so we are going to do it the next few days in a row then probably just every other day/every 2 days until AF.

Think I'm already out this month. CD18 and haven't had a peak on the CB digital tests yet. I could be having a longer cycle, that happens sometimes, but I think I might've missed my peak when testing. Haven't tried much because it's so hot 😂 just think this month will be a write off.

I’m 1 day late and still BFN.. I guess this is going to be a long cycle even though it’s already CD39. Really starting to get me down now

Well thankfully I am feeling much better now after my chemical last month and I think I have just gone through my peak, in time for this horrid heatwave! 😬 We have managed to DTD more times this month than last however I am just not feeling hopeful and already feel like it won’t be my month this month. I guess it’s normal to feel this way after a chemical. 🙈

also random question but my peak lines last month were slightly darker than the control line this month they are around the same darkness as the control line does it really matter about line darkness? It’s definitely still a positive 🤷‍♀️

The levels won’t be exactly the same every month, as you say as long as it’s positive that’s all that matters.
Your lines may have been darker a couple of hours before or after testing depending on when your levels rose/dropped, but obviously we can’t keep testing all day just to catch it!
