TTC #1 thread 1 2019

@Lemurville I feel like I can see something very faint? Is there a slight indent or evap line on the test? Maybe that's what I'm seeing x

@HayleyD84 I have been using internet cheapies called 'one step' I've had a line on a first response yesterday and today's I posted today's this morning on here and there's defo a line but on the one step I'm getting the faintest of grey lines there's no way I would look at it and think positive - I've googled and there's loads of people saying they didn't get a positive on internet cheapies until well after missed period and they were supposed to be sensitive, I'm sure loads of people have had early positives on certain brands but just thought It might be worth mentioning, it might be worth getting a frer 😌 x

@Lemurville I would go to the doctor just for peace of mind, sorry you're not getting positive results seeing that one line is so disheartening xxxxx

☹️ af late and bfn for me even with pink test! Not sure if I should go to doc to get checked out. Missed af Oct-Nov but started new job sept so put it down to that at the time as had af Dec and jan. now another looks like missed af no pregnancy (this month is first month of bd without contraceptive apart from couple of times end Nov just before af) so I’m beginning to worry a bit...

Oh I'm using Ultra Early Pregnancy Tests from ebay which detects
10 mIU, I know FR is 6.3 mIU but this is pretty close.

Hi all,

Driving myself crazy!! done a test the last two days and BFN I think I too have become a POAS addict!

I'm 8dpo and due AF on Friday. The only symptom ive got is the last couple of days I've had really sore boobs, please stay away AF!!

How many dpo did you all test positive? xx

@JessHughes17 I use the Clue app as well it's not one of the really in depth ones but it gives you a good idea of your cycles and is easy to update basic symptoms etc 😊

@JessHughes17 I use an app called clue its handy just to get a general idea on things but hopefully you'll get your BFP and won't need it xxx

@nwlv yeah it does make it harder! I'll take your advice and try not to think about it too much (if that's possible haha).

I've never used an app but I think I might download one. Do you have any recommendations? Xxx

@jesshughes17 thank you! its hard isn't it. Its probably better not to think about it and see what happens but its easier said than done. Sorry about your chemical pregnancy it makes it so much harder after having a tough experience! Do you track your cycle on an app or anything I've found it makes it a bit easier when your not sure on the length of cycle gives you a rough idea of when you're due and you can track symptoms so you can look back and see whats similar and different.

@JessHughes17 I think everyone's the same with symptom spotting when you're ttc honestly I think it's normal, the nipples are a good sign though 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 that you get your BFP when you do test! Xxx

@Tryingforno2 @nwlv thank you! I know it's really frustrating because I'm not sure what's a period symptom so I'm over thinking everything.

@nwlv so sorry to hear about your MC 😢

Since I had the chemical pregnancy 2 years ago all I have thought about is being pregnant so I think over analysing every little feeling/pain.

Thanks so much for replying xx

@JessHughes17 I found all other symptoms similar to pre AF really do it is tricky but the nipples were odd! Xx

@JessHughes17 erect nipples was my first symptom!!! I thought ohhh that's odd because I was laid in a super hot bath! Xx

sorry i meant @JessHughes17

JessHughes17

I find period symptoms are super similar to pregnancy ones its a pain!

I sometimes get cramping before period too.

I came off the pill in July so i know how you feel trying to figure out your cycles etc is a nightmare, I got pregnant in August/September but miscarried in October at 5-6 weeks , but it just shows things can happen really quick.

Wishing you luck.

Hi guys,

I don't suppose anyone can give me advice as to whether these symptoms could just be a period due?

I stopped my pill on 06/01/18 and had my period 10/01/19. I've had unprotected sex since then and think I may have ovulated around 24/25th Jan as I had some clear, jelly like discharge (sorry TMI).

About a week after this I started having really sore nipples and erect all the time 🙈 I've had a really dull ache in my vagina, shooting pains in my boobs (mainly left) and constipation and just recently white jelly like discharge.

I've been on the pill for 12 years so have no idea what my normal period symptoms could be. Are these all normal signs of a period?

Sorry for the long post guys, you all seem to know a lot more about this than I do.

Thanks in advance, Jess x

Congrats @Tryingforno2 that's a definite line 🎉

I'm trying to hold off testing until AF is definitely late (which is hard to know as I'm unsure of my cycle). Xxx

@tryingforno2 that is a definite line!! Congrats! 😁🎉💖

@nwlv it’s so frustrating isn’t it! Still feeling positive for us all though! 😁

@waiting2bmum well I shall try and leave it a few day but I’m a POAS addict 😂 I’ll leave my FRER until Thursday/Friday anencephaly use my cheapies to feed my addiction. 😂 how’re you feeling today? Xx

@Lemurville wishing you lots of luck I hope you get your line very very soon :-) xx

Thank you @meepmoop and @Waiting2bMum I'm trying not to get 2 carried away as miscarried at 5 weeks last time, just going to try and relax and kind of pretend it's not happening until AF is actually late then hopefully I will get a nice strong test xx

@tryingforno2 congrats that looks like a line to me ! Last pic was sainsbury own brand. Will try to get a frer today x

MrsE95 i think i'm in the same boat as you! AF due but had a BFN 2 days ago going to hold off until the end of the week as well, crossing fingers for you.

@Tryingforno2 definitely a line! congrats to you!
