We are currently TTC #3. DC are 7 and 4 going into Juniors and Reception this year. DP has always been on the fence about whether to have anymore until early this year and now he’s as enthusiastic as me that it’s the right thing for us.

Both DC took 12-18 months to conceive and we got our hopes up so many times each time only to feel rubbish when it wasn’t to be. We haven’t been trying half as long this time and yet I’m convinced this month is the month, not for no reason. I had what I think was possibly implantation spotting yesterday evening and I’m crampy but milder than with AF and I feel a bit sick and knackered today.

I know it will take a couple of days for HCG to build up enough for a BFP if this is the case (didn’t stop me POAS this morning and getting a BFN). The sensible part of me is trying to stop myself from getting my hopes up as I know it could just as easily be my body messing with me and the start of AF a few days early but I can’t stop convincing myself I’m pregnant. Arrrrggg

I don't know if it will be......I have imagined symptoms so many times before. If I am then I will have to have a scan at 6/7 weeks to make sure it's not ectopic again.

Had a nice lunch out with dp today but now very light headed so he's gone to mooch round the shops and I'm hiding on a bench.

Fingers crossed it's just frustration at having to wait and not pmt for both of us.

Oh for the love of my sanity this time better work. I typed it out again and it refused to post them disappeared.

@Bigfatwiggle I don’t want to get your hopes up either but that does sound like it could be promising.

I think I might be out this month very soon. I have the worst raging pmt I’ve had in years and I’m trying my very very hardest not to snap at DP and the kids for no good reason this morning.

Oh my word I just typed out a long reply and as I was about to press post I got redirected to a flipping you are a winner spam page. I nearly threw my phone at the wall 😩

That's probs sensible. I don't know if I can wait till Friday.
I'm just noticing everything at the mo....I'm peeing more, my pee smells weird....like kinda sweet and strong and my lower back is hurting a lot my brain is now convinced I'm pg but I'm scared to get my hopes up.

Secretsquirrelisfedup · 10/08/2019 10:53

I’m waiting till Monday I think. I got DP to hide the tests I have left after the last BFN. If AF makes an appearance before then I’ll have tests left for next month and if I have been lucky this month it might mean I don’t have to squint to see a line 😂

How are you doing? When are you going to test?

Secretsquirrelisfedup · 10/08/2019 10:49

It’s horrible being so close and yet so far from knowing one way or the other isn’t it. X

Bigfatwiggle · 10/08/2019 09:38

AF is due in 6 days and I just want to know one way or another.
I keep googling stuff but so much of the advice and information out there contradicts one another that I'm not sure what to believe. Don't seem to have much in the way of cm but my cervix is high and very soft and wet.
I nearly caved this morning and did a test but dp gets a bit Hmm so I didn't.

Secretsquirrelisfedup · 10/08/2019 08:55

Morning ladies. How are you all doing today? @Bigfatwiggle hope you feel better this morning x

Feel like going nuts again!

littledinosaurs · 09/08/2019 17:49

Amazing! Congrats @BananaRaces Smile

Bigfatwiggle · 09/08/2019 14:49

Haha if you are grumpy then I'm dopey Grin so so hungry atm as well.

Secretsquirrelisfedup · 09/08/2019 13:14

My brain is being a knob too. It’s like I’m cycling through the seven dwarves at the mo. Currently I’m grumpy 😂

OP posts:
Bigfatwiggle · 09/08/2019 12:52

Can't stop peeing today! Probably all in my imagination......my brain is a right knob when it comes to symptoms and tricking me Grin
How's everyone else doing today?

Bigfatwiggle · 09/08/2019 11:13

Secretsquirrelisfedup · 09/08/2019 10:18

Well, I did an extra-sensitive test this morning (thanks for the info @Secretsquirrelisfedup), and my second bog-standard one for good measure and... BFP!! It looks as though cycle 8 was our lucky one. Grin
Wishing all you lovely ladies good luck, I have tightly crossed fingers for all of you!

@littledinosaurs welcome to the thread. My AF isn't due for another week. I feel like the wait is making me nuts and inevitably like every other month I will get a BFN. gosh I'm such a positive joy Grin

Bigfatwiggle · 09/08/2019 08:37

Londoner the lines are deffo getting darker Smile

AlmostLondoner · 09/08/2019 07:53

@littledinosaurs thank you! I actually found this thread and it calmed me down. boards.weddingbee.com/topic/post-your-hpts-and-beta-hcg-results/page/3

littledinosaurs · 09/08/2019 07:21

@AlmostLondoner those lines look amazing!!! I doubt the strength of the line is that accurate in terms of measurement. Be happy and try not to worry xxx

littledinosaurs · 09/08/2019 07:19

Hey all. Hoping I can join as I'm going a bit crazy not talking to anyone about this stuff.

I'm:

29
Ttc #1
Cycle 2
AF due Sunday

No idea how many days past ovulation I am because my (I don't think v accurate) temping told me one thing and Clue (which I've been using for 2+ years and is always pretty much right) told me another. 🤷‍♀️ Either way hopefully I'll know by next week - trying to hold off on testing until Monday or Tuesday.

AlmostLondoner · 09/08/2019 06:00

Hi girls, me again!

I have a question, I can't find answer anywhere on the internet.

If my test has sensitivity of 10miu and it shows half dark, does it mean that there is only 5miu in my urine? I mean if there is exactly 10miu would the lines be equally dark?

I am just asking as my tests are getting stronger but quite slowly and it got me worried! 😕
