So am I the only one not using fertility friend? I've always used "My days" and then last time (2014) I used ovia for a month and ive been using ovia again.
Trying to determine if it's worth transferring all my info over.... ugh
Thoughts?

So I nearly had a heart attack when I saw the first response eighme! I had no idea they did ovulation tests!! Thought it was a bfp!!!
Mummy i cant see the link yo your chart anymore? How am I supposed to stalk when it keeps disappearing???
Robin it's good to hear from you! Hoping things happen naturally and you won't have to go HTxxx
ABC what's happening??
Girlsway FF is definitely the easiest to use and read. May be worthwhile transferring even this month and last months cycle info.
Good luck everyone !
I know BBB, isn’t that crazy? It’s really deceiving with the packaging too. You have to read. It was the only one I could find at the time where I was. But, it’s worked out okay I guess!Quote:

Verena and BBB - thanks for asking, not much news, saw my doc yesterday and we agreed this is most likely headed towards m/c. My hcg is very very low, I had another blood draw yesterday but haven't heard yet on that, and the lines on the FRERs continue to get lighter each day. At this point I just want it to be over with. I don't want to lose my baby but waiting in limbo knowing what's coming is even worse. I'm heartbroken, but it is what it is right now. I want to stop the progesterone as I think it may be delaying the bleeding but I'm trying to wait on the doc's next call to confirm that I should do that.
Robin - I'm sorry it didn't work this past time :( Will you keep us updated as you start IVF? So hoping that goes well for you. I have a good friend going through it right now (she can't conceive naturally due to blocked tubes) so I've been learning a bit about it. It's a fascinating process! I hope you get your beautiful pink bundle very soon!
Girlsway I switched from another program to FF too and I really like FF now. Although I didn't have that much data on the other program so I wasn't losing much.
Mummy I'm sorry about the BFNs :( Sounds like that may be a good plan to just be more relaxed in the attempts this next cycle - that seems to be successful for lots of people in getting pregnant!!
GL to everyone testing & attempting soon! I'm trying to keep up but I've been away from the boards a little more... I feel kinda lost on here right now given the situation I'm in.

Eighme which line is the one that always comes up? Is it on the left or right? The line that always appears is the control line and the one that appears lighter or same or darker than the control line is the test line. If the test line is the left line then its looking very close to pos. What time did you do this test?

Eighme can you also get another pic without the glare? On second look it does look really close....

GirlswayHGmama I would definately recommend making the switch to ff and agree would enter both this cycles and last cycles info.

Robin for some reason I thought you were starting BC so its great to hear you'll have one more natural (albeit unmedicated) cycle. I think its the cycles we have no faith in are often the ones that can result in that elusive bfp. Seen it happen time and time again and hope to again in your case xxoo
Abc I understand how you're feeling and hope your doc makes the call to get you off the progesterone really soon. I hated the wait between knowing what was coming and for things to actually start. I would be checking/expecting to see bleeding every. single. time I went to the bathroom and it was always a bizarre mix of relief and frustration when there was none. I don't know how else to describe it. It really messes with your mind though. Is it maybe worth calling his office and asking the question directly? If your hcg is dropping to a really low level I'm not sure why they would have you still be taking it [emoji17]

Yes I switched clinics and they do not reccomend bcp so I get one cycle off before jumping right into it. If all goes good.. and we hopefully have more than 1 healthy female embryo... we plan on transferring 2 in early feb!Quote:

Pbn, Tried to take a second shot in natural light. Left is the test, right is the control line. I took this test at 9:00 this morning after having no fluids.

Pbn - That's EXACTLY how I feel. Relief and frustration every.damn.time I pee!!!! :( :( And you feel terrible that you "want" it to happen but you only want it to because you know it's coming anyways. It's an AWFUL place to be in.Quote:

WOW that's fast Robin!!! So if it happens, early Feb would give you a November baby (or babies!)?
Hang in there - I know it's hard :(
Eighme I'd do another at 3pm to be sure but looks like today may be your day [emoji3][emoji322][emoji322] that is really close! I think your next one will be a no doubt about it result!!

Abc I hope the spotting is the start for you even though its heartbreaking [emoji174] at the same time you may on your way out of that dreadful limbo land. There'll be a whole new wave of grief and tears coming but you will feel better again in the coming weeks I promise. Still sad of course and certain things will trigger more tears and anger but overall it will get better. Biggest hugs xxoo

ABC I'm so sorry you are going through this, the waiting is the worst. And yet it feels like there is still a tiny glimmer of hope. I totally understand.
Eighme, that looks very nearly positive!
Good to hear from you Robin. Really hope it works out for you 🤞in Feb! Or even before then, maybe being relaxed because you know what's happening in Feb will help with the natural cycle!

Thanks Mummy and Pbn. It's hard but I'll get through it. Just hoping that my door hasn't closed on having a healthy baby eventually. I don't know why it would have, but I'm def a little worried now.

ABC I’m so sorry, sending prayers and love your way [emoji120][emoji177]
Robin wish you the best of luck for February!! [emoji120]
Girlswaylondon if you sleep with mouth open on and off during the night its pointless temping orally IMHO. It's just going to cause more stress and confusion. If you don't want to temp vaginally (which is perfectly fine) I wouldn't bother with it at all. However you can stull use ff to to track your bds, cm and opks :)

Well the bleeding has started - it's official :( :( At least the waiting period is over. Kinda of in a shock/denial/don't want to think about it phase right now. Thank you all for the support.
Girlsway - I always run low body temps - both BBTs and during the daytime. My tsh (thyroid) used to be at the higher end of the normal range but since my doctor started treating me w/ thyroid hormone meds (he just wanted it a bit lower for pregnancy), it's now on the lower side of the normal range... And yet my temps haven't changed at all. So I don't think thyroid is always the reason for lower temps, but if you're concerned your doctor can check your thyroid with a blood test. And like Pbn said I have noticed lower temps when my mouth was open during the night.
Hugest hugs Abc xxoo here anytime you need [emoji173]

Abc hope time passes quickly for you x big hugs xxx
Mummy the link is working again Thanks!
Hope it’s over quickly abc and you can move on x
Another question, dh has wanted to dtd a lot this month! (I blame cold weather) so it’s become an unintentional e5d for us, but this morning we ended up dtd again but I made him pull out (so sorry tmi!!) does this count as another attempt?! I’m worried because I’m due to ovulate soon! Damn my dh lol
Cd 1 :sad: . 2 more cycles of trying until we stop for 4-5 months or for good. Didn’t think it would take this long.
Hope you are okay abc. Hugs xx
Mwilson, me too! Cd1 today. Another weird cycle for me [emoji848]
Girlsway, I wouldn't count a pull out as an attempt. We've used that 'method' of contraception lol for years and I've not got pregnant so I don't reckon it counts as an attempt

I switched over the last 8 months of data to fertility and friend.

Let's see if I did this link right.

Hello girls, should i do attempt tonight? It is partial positive opk. Some months i have partial positive one day before ovulation some months two days before ovulation. I dont want to miss my egg:)this month so maybe better do attempt tonight?Attachment 38448
Do you have any pics to compare to previous months? It's hard for me to judge it because I always have a little bit of LH.Quote:

That looks pretty consistent Noemi. If you o’d the same time last month, that probably tips odds in your favour. Good luck!!
I’m in the 2ww, decided to go for it and have a somewhat light blue sway. Currently 3dpo. Any ideas how to distract myself? When’s the earliest I can begin testing?
Noemi do you limit drinking fluids before testing? I find the less I drink the more blazing the positive opk is! Good luck for this month :)
Hello girlsway, yes i limit fluids, test was from the morning 10:30am, i did other now in the evening and it doesnt look positive so better i wait:(Attachment 38456
