Can anyone help? I had taken this test this afternoon after peeing just 45 mins before. There's
Defo a line and it's pink irl.. I had a great line last week and a couple faint positives since, but then this. I'd have expected it to be dark by now?
Any positive stories about faint lines for a long period of time? I should be due on today/yesterday or tomorrow defo at the most. Had my static smiley on the 1st so could have ovulated up to 36 hours after that.
Just so confused at the moment. I have a gynaecology appointment tomorrow, for endometriosis/pain etc so I'm sure if I mention these weird tests they might be able to give me an answer by blood test or something. But in the mean time I feel so different, boobs have massive blue veins on them I feel sicky throughout the day, slight cramps and very tired 😓 xx

Oh god!!! I'm so behind on the thread!!

How are the cramps going ladies?? Fingers crossed it's none of this AF bitch turning her tricks!!

@CiaraJ01 definitely treat yourself tonight, have a drink and a good time. Especially after the hard day!!

@Littlepea90 I'm exactly the same! All else is exciting and then the awful wait and potential bad news that's the killer.

I'm on CD4, looks like stupid AF is clearing out now so if like clockwork, tomorrow is the last day! Then it all starts again! Gah! Really hope Dec/Jan is all our month.

Work announced they're laying off x% of the workforce in 2020 and we get to find out in January who, such a good Christmas present 😂😂 I just want to get preggo and get mat leave

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 20:19

@mellymoo86 before I came on here I didn't know what AF CP CM DTD or anything of that stuff stood for😂 learning everyday girls

mrsio · 18/12/2019 20:17

@mellymoo86 yeah it's surprising how low the uterus is isn't it. Have you googled what happens to your organs when you're heavily pregnant? 🤢

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 20:10

@mrsio @nt1992 I had to google my anatomy earlier.😂 I wanted to see where my bladder/uterus/stomach was. I haven't had cramps but weird twinges here and there. I don't know if I'm just going nuts. I think to myself 'would you have noticed this was weird if you weren't ttc?' If the answer is no then I just ignore it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 20:08

@mrsio mine are like mild AF cramps I remember them being the same when I was pregnant before. Also cervix still high closed & wet so that's good I suppose. Maybe I've just not got enough HCG yet

mrsio · 18/12/2019 19:54

@nt1992 I don't usually get cramps for more than a few hours before AF. Last month I felt them at about 7am and came on mid morning. I'm still 2 days away from AF so wouldn't have had them yet. I'm feeling something similar to cramps. It's hard to describe but not like AF cramps. The best way I can describe it is that I'm aware I have a uterus 😂 like it's bloated

Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 19:42

How you getting on @CiaraJ01 AF stayed away?

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 19:39

@mellymoo86 yeh cramps are away again, no AF yet. How's you?

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 19:38

You ok @nt1992 ?

Aomlaoy · 18/12/2019 18:53

Loving this positivity! Room for a newbie..?

Been trying for around 3 years- had surgery, now on tablets & if this doesn't work IVF. 2020 is going to be a year of babies!!! 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 18:23

I've had loads of cramps tonight same as past few nights, keep going to toilet to wipe but nothing🤦🏽‍♀️ @mrsio do you get AF like cramps still?

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 17:21

@mrsio Thank you, that's good to know. It's can really go in any direction. 🤞🏽

mrsio · 18/12/2019 16:52

@mellymoo86 no bleeding but I did have some very slight cramping 6dpo. Absolutely no other symptoms, same as last time x

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 16:42

@mrsio did you have any implantation bleeding? Cramping etc?

nt1992 · 18/12/2019 16:11

@mrsio I honestly don't🤦🏽‍♀️ do some women only get a positive reading like a week after their miss period? Because it's not happening anytime soon for me!

mrsio · 18/12/2019 15:57

@nt1992 I swear I can see a faint line in both of those!

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 15:34

@mellymoo86 it definitely takes the romance out of it but tbh his sex drive has never been that high anyway. I'm going to do a bit more research on it first though.

I'm 5dpo I think but not spotting or looking for anything this month. According to clue this cycle is going to be a little longer as last month was but I'm expecting AF to arrive anytime between 25th and 27th

@Skygirl1983 it's the other way round with us, I'm always the one pulling stupid faces in photos! DH is official photographer fo us, by the time I get my phone out my bag the moment has normally passed

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 15:20

@Blondeandbroody Haha you're definitely not crazy don't worry. I've done the same previously. Hopefully the tests you ordered gives you some clarity. If only our OH knew what we were up to 😂 they might reconsider having a baby with us. psycho alert! Lol

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 15:18

@Skygirl1983 What DPO are you? I am 7DPO today. I'm monitoring on BBT chart as well. You'll see the dip on cycle day 13 is when I ovulated and then the temp shot up. Now I'm in the luteal phase where you temperate increases because Progesterone goes up.

2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )
Blondeandbroody · 18/12/2019 15:16

Well I'm glad you've not been saying I'm crazy cause it's past the time limit so it's obviously evap haha!! I'm so very doubtful about it as inconsistencies everywhere on google about but I'll see what other tests say this week, if AF doesn't show, if she does I need to put these tests under lock and key until AF due date etc cycle haha @mellymoo86

I've not tried CB yet figured I'd give them a go it was mainly for the digital to be honest so we shall see XX

mellymoo86 · 18/12/2019 15:12

@Skygirl1983 Yeah I did think of artificial insemination but don't know anything about it so I put the thought out of my head. And OH is normally ok with dtd when we need to so I didn't dwell on the idea. If it helps with planning around your business times then why not. Doesn't matter how the soldiers get there they just need to get there! Lol

@Blondeandbroody Oh gosh that's so frustrating! Good thing you ordered some other tests. I only trust FRER personally as I've had bad experiences from cb. They've just not been consistently accurate for me

Skygirl1983 · 18/12/2019 14:59

@Blondeandbroody it's all that talk of psychics. Lol! Fingers crossed you get some sort of answer soon though.

I finish for xmas tomorrow and cant what!

But yeah I think i will talk it over with him again and see what he thinks but I don't think it will do any harm giving it a go.
