TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO. 9

@EltzBee I had a mince pie for breakfast this morning - Dec feasting in full force! I am 6DPO today; time never goes as slow as during the bloody 2WW does it?!

@DayDreamer1707 ah bless you, like the others said, go get a decent test and do that. I didn't think the line could go pink without it detecting something, but then if it's been 12 hours who knows...

8DPO today and temperature not dipped yet, I'm still expecting AF on the weekend based on my usual LP, although after last month and the bitch turning up earlier, who knows!

Breakfast time, I've woken up bloody starving today!

@DayDreamer1707 ‘Is it possible to fall out with your own vagina???’ HA!!! And the answer is absolutely YES!!

I think as this test is old now I’d do another for sure tomorrow morning, and if that doesn’t rest any fears then definitely see your GP. It’s what we pay our taxes for!! For my BFP before my MC, the line came up very quickly (within a minute). I really will keep everything crossed for you and definitely think seeing your GP to answer all your questions could be a good idea, as you’ve had so much going on recently ♥️

Sorry it does look pinker and darker in person, just getting frustrated with myself. Maybe I should just do an FRER to be sure rather than crap cheap things. Got lots of CM as well at the moment but thought that was because I got a positive OPK.

Hope everyone else is doing good this morning and I am still hoping for some Christmas BFP xxxx

@MrsEG I know I don't know how Long it took for this line to appear. I just saw BFN and carried on getting ready for work. Went to throw it this morning and saw that. It can really play with your mind. It looks exactly like a positive I got before my MC which was really faint but that was because it was later in the afternoon. Just totally messes with your head. So confusing along with ovulating within a week of AF. I think I can truly say my body is messed up and these tests are just making it harder. It even looks like it's pink which I didn't think was possible unless your had the HCG hormone. God give me strength!! Is it too early for a drink yet??? Is it possible to fall out with your own vagina???

@DayDreamer1707 This is the guidance I found on the Ava fertility site:

An evap line (evaporation line) is a faint line that appears after a negative test has dried. ... This is why the most important rule for getting a true positive pregnancy test is: do not read them after the allotted time! The results are only accurate in the time frame specified in the instructions.

If you really are unsure (and I’d be going mad too!!) I would check with either a FRER or with the GP just so you can completely put your mind at ease either way ♥️

@DayDreamer1707 Oh please don’t be upset! As far as I’m aware the result is only accurate in the timeframe given on the box - once dried sometimes a line can appear (which is just cruel!) - if it is a worry I would either get a FRER to double check or go to your GP for a urine and blood test to know for absolute sure. You must be going through hell with all this. Keep us posted x

Seriously feel like crying! This was negative yesterday BFN no line at all. For some reason just looked at it now and there's a line...why is this all so cruel 😫😫😫.

Hit send too fast @MrsLBear I'm literally sat with back pain, tired at 10pm after having a nap earlier, and feeling sick 😂😂😂

Honestly @MrsLBear 😂 I think because I've not drank for months it's hitting me too hard 😂 I'm like an old woman!!!

@MrsLBear - I'd treat that as a positive then do another tomorrow lunchtime and compare :) thanks and fx for you too!!

@cupcakesandglitter well that'll teach you for drinking a gallon of the stuff 😂😂😂 DH and I are being good before Christmas, because we (normally) drink lots at Christmas... it's inevitable! Xx

@ValidUser absolutely! One tube is better than none! You still have a chance of getting your BFP! Xx

@MrsR16 it was 😂 just left me feeling sick!!

@ValidUser love that!! X

@MrsLBear might give them a try 😊 that looks like an almost positive - compare it to your next one in case your surge is overnight x

@FlapJackered honestly 😂 I actually feel really really sick now so I think I'm gonna give it a break too 🤢 (I have a tiny bit of mulled wine left... let's see how long it lasts 😂)

@ValidUser of course it will ❤️❤️

Thanks @MrsEG and @MrsR16. This is such a lovely thread.

On the bright side, my ovaries are not as geriatric as I thought (AMH pretty ok). I have one tube that can be encouraged to work. DH has good swimmers. And I'm 28.

And as a comedian stated on something I was listening to earlier, "the average person has one Fallopian tube."

(I know the statistic includes men, but it was oddly comforting.)

@ValidUser so sorry to hear that you are struggling. February will be here before you know it. I really hope having Xmas and the op date coming up keeps you feeling a bit more positive ♥️

@cupcakesandglitter omg that sounds amazing!! Bet you enjoyed that 😂 x

@ValidUser hey lovely! Good to see you pop up every now and then 😊 you know we're all here for you. It will happen for you! I have every faith in you and your body! Xx

@MrsLBear wow, that's an epic essay!! Love it! AF is supposed to tip up Christmas Eve, so if she doesn't, then I'll test Christmas Day!! Eek!

@FlapJackered such a way with words, you incredible lady! 😂😂 hope you enjoy the festivities drinking as much as you're able!

Thanks @MrsLBear and @cupcakesandglitter and @FlapJackered.

Meeting surgeon in late January. Hoping for op in February.

Something will work out. Hopefully.

@ValidUser hopefully the op goes well though and that you're recovery is speedy. Sometimes having some quiet time is good for you especially during this journey ❤️

@FlapJackered yeah I do temp. Temp was still down this morning so I guess I will be able to tell tomorrow morning. It's like I wish by my sleep to see what my temp is. God I feel sad. Have you O'd yet this month? I find I get ewcm a good few days before I O and then it turns super watery! So glamorous!!

Thanks for your help ladies! Good to know I am not the only one! I just had a tonne of ewcm and thought it might have been sperm but after much googling definitely ewcm. 😂 I am just hoping there were enough swimmers to get where they need to go!

@ValidUser sorry you're having a hard time. When is the op booked for again? Hopefully there is not too long a wait, although as we all know even two weeks can feel like a lifetime so I understand how difficult it must be ❤️

@cupcakesandglitter I am with you on the wine! I can already feel my liver crying a little bit and we haven't even reached Christmas yet. 🍷😂 I am going to try to be good until Friday to give my body a break before the onslaught (much easier said than done at this time of year though 😂)

@MrsLBear I get ovulation cramps a few days before ov but then occasionally I have had really bad ones on the day I ovulate.
Are you temping?

@cupcakesandglitter oh it's December after all. We are all allowed to over indulge a bit this month.
They are so good. Like those American style pancakes.

@starkid you never know though I read somewhere just a second ago that you can still catch the egg even after the egg has been released so I think you're still in for a good chance. Fx for you!
I just checked my OPK from when I got and it looks like this - pic attached. That's pretty much a positive isn't it? I'm defo not DTD tonight - feel like you did last night.
I must admit they are confusing me cos I got my cb static on Sunday morning like you and now a stronger IC than yday. So I've not ovulated yet then I'm assuming?

@MrsLBear - I did another cheapy amazon opk at work today around 2.30pm and it was a massive negative, not even a hint of a second line, so I think the peak clearblue one from Sunday morning was correct! Shall be dtd tonight... but yeah, odds probably not in our favour unfortunately. Weird bloody body suddenly changing it up after 4 months haha

Sorry @ValidUser hope you're doing well ❤️❤️

@MrsLBear don't apologise, we love an essay here!!!! Also I've packed on the pounds this month so I've got my work cut out when I finally hit the gym 😂😂😂 I've never had that!! Love pancakes and love aldi too 😂😂 x

Sorry for the essay ladies!! 🤪
