Hi ladies, I'm still nursing a dreadful cold. It's a horrible virus. Been in bed most of today and feeling rubbish. Makes my temps a little inaccurate I'm sure. Anyway tons of cheapie tests (I have nothing else to do while at home!) and all stark white. 10dpo tomorrow. I got a vvf BFP on 9dpo when I fell pregnant with my daughter so I'm not holding out now for this cycle. Only thing that is making me think there's a slight chance is my breasts are huge and heavy this cycle. Anyone else prod their boobs to keep checking if they are sore? xx

Scuba... my boobs are always sore and huge before my period. The month I had my chemical the first thing that tipped me off that was that my boobs felt fine lol...so yes I always poke mine starting around 8dpo but it's to see if they are not sore!

Wow TTC, you’re right. I’m going to try to not give up hope quite yet. They’re still pink and not super faint yet. We’ll see what tomorrow brings, hubby said he feels like it’s an emotional rollercoaster

@jenny I see it too! Looks very promising yay!
@lalou thanks sweetie

Anyone every have experience with the clear blue digital ovulation test? All i got were flashing smiley faces no solid. Does this mean I'm not ovulating. In previous months I'm pretty sure I got a distinct positive on an ovulation test. No solid smiley face is really making me freak out!!

@Jenny alright let s do it. I don t have regular hpts but i have some digi. So tomorrow I will test 1st thing in the morning.

@photomama you are welcome my dear. Let s also test tomorrow

@ttc that hormone is a trickster. She is the reason why during the tww we have similar pms and early pregnancy symptoms.

@scuba yes i used to poke mine but like @espence mine would also get huge before AF. Unfortunately this time since i am still nursing about 15% of the time, i still cannot rely on them. They do seems bigger, veiny even around the areola and a bit sore but that can still be because of milk or pms. I have to go shop for pads some hopefully i get a positive tomorrow so i don t have to. I am praying for all of us.

@photomama babe you still have time just keep your head up and have faith okay Its not over yet and it wont be over

@jenny I think I see a faint line girl

@lalou hopefully your temp rises again girl and we see that bfp you've been waiting for !!

@jan did you test again though or not yet?

@scuba remember every pregnancy is different and you could have implanted later so there's still a chance even if you didnt get a bfp on 9dpo

So we dtd last night but we used a little bit of lube and now I'm concerned that it messed with our chances... I know some studies say that it affects the sperm which affects ttc negatively but has anyone conceived while they used lube? Just normal lube not spermacides or pre seed or anything

Anna...when I had my chemical we had used ky lube. I know it ended in an early loss....but I'm sure the lube had nothing to do with that! The sperm made it to the egg and fertilized it! I think the studies are a bit conflicting on lube. I think as long as it's used sparingly theres no harm. That's just my opinion

@espence I really hope so would hate to ruin my chances by something I did
