TTC - First time!

Bluebell

Thanks, I can definitely see one on the second test too just not completely convinced... Will test tomorrow.

I've ordered some more sensitive ones so hopefully they will arrive while I'm at work to test with those tomorrow!

Claire I think I can see a very very faint line too 🤔 Can you go a buy a better test? As I know you wanna know for you party X

88claire I can see a faint line on your second post! Test again tomorrow and let us know. Fingers crossed and congratulations.

It's a HUGE squinter...

Maybe I'm imagining it

Can anyone else see that?!

I can't tell

Ah! That all makes so much more sense now! Thank you.

Has anyone taken Norethisterone before? I'm not wondering if maybe this is why I didn't get pregnant last month. I took it when I went to Ibiza in September and my doctor mentioned that it can have an effect on your periods and hormones for a while after.

Do you mean BFP and BFN pink? Big fat positive and big fat negative respectively if so!

AF is auntie Flo aka your period
OPK is ovulation predictor kit
FRER is a First Response early result pregnancy test
Fx is fingers crossed

Took me a while to figure them all out when I first joined MN too!

Oh gosh - ok let me think of the ones I've seen.

I know CM is cervix mucas.

I know AFP means positive but what does it stand for?
Same with AFN and AF and OPK and FRER.

What is FX?

Have fun Amz

What ones are you still not sure of pink? There's probably a list somewhere but no idea how to find it! If you say any in particular I'll do my best to translate

Claire, I was convinced I was pregnant after I'd ovulated. Had every sign going and therefore didn't drink. When my period came, I was a bit annoyed. Many women who don't find out until they miss their period drink beforehand, so I think you'll be ok.

Yesterday was my work xmas party and I drank (I'm almost finished my period) but I can't seem to stomach alcohol the way I used to. That was the first symptom I had that made me think I was pregnant for sure.

Can someone explain what the acronyms you all use are? I've figured out a few, I think. Well, I know what you mean but I don't know what it stands for!

Good idea Claire, make sure you keep us updated! Also my OPK was negative tonight :( might DTD anyway.. This time just for fun 😉

claire best of luck with tomorrow's test! Either way, hope you enjoy your night out, sounds like a night off from the waiting and second guessing is exactly what you need!

TTC and AMZ

I will do another test tomorrow morning - good idea! I don't hold out much hope though as I only have the cheapie ones from eBay so not the early detect ones or anything.

I think it's going to be a case of go along and have a glass or two of wine but not go overboard. I can't handle hangovers anymore anyway!

I'm just not sure what to think at the moment, it's all very confusing. Waiting is awful! I was sort of relieved when AF came along so I could have much more knowledge of myself and my cycle for next attempt....

Anyway we shall see!

Thanks for the advice. It's much appreciated!

Sending good luck wishes to everyone!!

claire could you do another test right before you go out?

I hope not twisted!

Claire- well the way I look at it is would you be more annoyed at yourself if you drank and found out you were pregnant or would you be more annoyed if AF shows up and you didn't have a drink?? I don't think it would harm the baby unless you go OTT! How much was you planning on drinking if you do? X

So I'm not sure what to do... Did a cheapie test and it came out negative (as expected). But the spotting has completely stopped and I'm back to clear egg white discharge. I've been nauseous for ages and had quite a few pregnancy symptoms but not sure if it's all psychological!

Should I hold off drinking anything tomorrow just in case?! I only go out with work once a year and don't want to miss out on the fun If I'm only going to get AF the next day. Obviously if I thought I was pregnant I wouldn't drink but I just don't know!

Sorry to anyone who got AF

Charley I'm so sorry. I think the witch may be rearing her head over here too.

Well maybe that's a good sign! I have my FX for you. Well I was doing it in the morning but yesterday I did it in the evening! When I TTC in 2014 it didn't matter what time I tested as I got a positive on my OPK at anytime of the day! I'm going to try again when I get home :) I'll keep you updated!!

Amz no, never had nausea as a PMS symptom before. Don't know what's going on to be honest, just trying not to get my hopes up at all. With your OPKs have you tried doing them at different times of the day? I only got a positive doing it in the evening - I would have missed it otherwise as it wasn't positive that morning, and the surge had lessened off again by the following morning.

charley Ahh I'm really sorry I thought it was going to be your month after all of your symptoms! Hope you aren't feeling too down about it

Defo dangle it's Defo the Unknown! So sorry to hear that charley xx

Sorry to hear that charley! Hope your ok xx

Bleeding has started and my back is in agony hope there's lots of good news for everyone else this month! We need to see more bfps!!

Me too amz! I think it's just the unknown more than anything wondering when my periods will return etc! Yeah it's the Christmas spread it's fine lol!

Mines a little fatter then normal too! An extra layer of fat keeps us warm in this weather 😂 I came off the pill on the 1st so really early still for me! I know I shouldn't worry about it yet but I can't help myself X

Ps amz I'm also bloated but I think that's just fat
