Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

@FarmerWantsABaby I have CB Digital that detects how many weeks pregnant. I'm not convinced it's a BFP so I'm hanging off testing until I am actually late. I'm keeping it for that moment where I'm convinced I am pregnant. So far I'm not convinced!
I get sore boobs and cramps before AF due, but this month my boobs are like lead (they are only tiny so any change I notice immediately) I can't even touch them without them hurting!
I have really thick CM, but not a lot of it, darkened labia (got the right term this time 😁) and today I've been really angry!
I'm still not reading into any of it, as I've noticed since coming off the pill in September last year, my periods and PMS have gotten worse every month!
Positive vibes are in the air and so pleased a BFP's are starting to pop up on this thread!
The crazy train continues ladies! Baby dust to all! ❤️

Congrats @Wiggleyfingers I'm delighted we have another BFP in the group! I'm all about positive vibes. The universe rewards good vibes 🥰
Also @Ginge35 that looks blue to me!!!!! Have you any CB digital tests? GET ONE TOMORROWWWWWW 😬😬😬
I'm feeling excited for you!!! Faaackkkkk 😅🤪

Geauxtigers · 19/01/2020 16:11

Wiggelyfingers were you having any symptoms? That is sooo exciting. Congratulations and fingers crossed for all going well for you.

Thanks @Wiggleyfingers but it took a while for the line to show, but it is blue so I don't think it's an evap line! I have no clue 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have seen you tube videos of people taking cheap crappy tests and the BFP takes ages to turn up! Like ages after the time it should take!
I'm not going to test again until my AF is late, as if it's a chemical pregnancy then I don't want to get my hopes up by testing again.
I'm due on tomorrow but with me ovulating a couple days later than I did the month before, I may leave it until the end of the week. Give my AF a chance to show it's ugly face! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! 😬😬😬🤞🤞🤞

@Ginge35 I would take that as a bfp! How exciting! Are you planning on testing again soon? Hopefully see you in the September birth club soon!

BecauseReasons · 19/01/2020 11:12

Congratulations @Wiggleyfingers! @Ginge35, the flaps are called labia. Maybe test again and see if the lines appear in the time frame this time?

newmum2020 · 19/01/2020 11:05

@Wiggleyfingers sooo exciting!! You must be thrilled 😁congratulations 🥰

@Ginge35 Line defo looks blue to me!!! Eeeekk......it's all looking and sounding promising for you too!!

Lovely to see some positive vibes!! No symptoms here and AF due date getting ever closer😬

Happy Sunday 💕

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh @Wiggleyfingers THIS IS SOOOOOOO EXCITING! Congratulations!!!
You know I did that test yesterday and I said I could see a really faint line, well I managed to get a filter on my phone so I could take a photo and send it to you all. Now I've googled Evap lines and it says it's a colourless line that appears after the urine dries, but to me this looks like a very pale blue. Any thoughts please greatly appreciated! Don't be afraid to crush my emotions! 🤪 I'm well prepared for my AF turning up. However I checked my lady bits this morning the inside skin flaps (I hate the word flaps, but I don't know the medical term 🤪) have gone a dark red/purple. SO! I googled that too and that's also an early pregnancy sign! I think I've officially lost my shit! 😝

Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

I broke out the digital last night as a last resort and it gave me the result I had been hoping for!! Pregnant 1-2 weeks 💓 Not getting too excited yet as I'm only 11dpo and there is a lot that can happen but I'm cautiously excited!
Fingers crossed that the rest of you will follow soon!

FarmerWantsABaby · 19/01/2020 01:19

Lovely words @DustyDiva I think we all needed to hear that today! I've had my THIRD friend approach me and ask is something wrong (all three don't know each other) because apparently I haven't been myself lately. I thought I was being positive but it must be taking its toll on my mood without realising 😬🤯

Goldie0109 · 18/01/2020 22:29

@Ginge35 I think that is a healthy way to look at it. Baby dust to you for the next few months but if it doesn't happen there are worse things than travelling this beautiful world with someone you love! X

Awwww thanks @DustyDiva I couldn't go through what you went through! I admire you! Really, I do ❤️
Due to mine and DH's age, we are giving ourselves 6 months and then knocking it on the head. I don't want to put our entire lives on hold and put strain on our relationship. We have a wonderful life and if Mother Nature says no, then so be it! A bit sad and I do worry there is something wrong with me, or DH, but if nature doesn't take its course by May then it's a big fat holiday that will be booked and me and DH will continue to travel the world together!
I try and look for the positives when the negatives hit. I try to be a glass half full kinda a girl 😁

@Ginge35 it's so hard to go through this ttc journey. I've been doing it for 9 years with one ivf pregnancy ( after three attempts ) and two mc's, and I'm not saying this to make yours or anyone else's journeys seem easy, it's not. Everyone has their own journey and whether someone has to face 3,6, 12 months ttc or then need fertility treatment or IVF, the feeling is the same for everyone, it's horrible waiting to find out and wondering why it didn't happen. BUT... keep going!!! The only reason I have my son is because DH and I just kept going with treatment. Stay strong, it WILL happen xxxxx

Thank you ladies! Just gonna give it another shot next month! Here's hoping the AF isn't too tragic!
I looked at that Ovia app and what it tells me with my fertile window is different by 3 days with the PC app I've currently got! That's thrown me completely now!
Going to use Ovia next month and here's hoping I get it right! 🤞

Did the line appear within the testing time frame (usually says on the box?). If it appeared after that time elapsed then it's an evap line. Doesn't mean it won't be positive in a few days, just that it's not at the moment. I always bin my negatives after the test window to prevent confusion later on. PP are right, it may still be too early to test.

Wiggleyfingers · 18/01/2020 17:17

That's a blue dye test isn't it? They are notoriously difficult to read. Fingers crossed there is something there for you and it's not just an evap! 🤞

Just a cheapy Sainsbury's one. I have a CB Digital as well but I haven't used that one.
It's the one that's states the weeks on it. I'm going to leave using that one until I'm/if I'm late.
My boobs are still like lead and still getting cramps but I get that before AF anyway, so still utterly confused!

Wiggleyfingers · 18/01/2020 16:46

Which test did you use @Ginge35? Have you checked how sensitive it is?

Ginge35 · 18/01/2020 16:31

Yes ladies! The crazy train continues! Went back to my test and I swear I can see the faintest, faintest line!!! I could just be imagining it. I tried to take a photo to show you but you can't see it on the pic!
I may just be clinching at straws here! But I'm gonna leave it now (she says 🤪🤪🤪) and just see if Im late or not!
Fucking hell! This is torture! My DH is now treating me to a takeaway tonight to try and cheer me up!
Everyone else ok?

@Ginge35 I feel you. Cried yesterday at my BFN. It's the hope isn't it.

We're in it together x

newmum2020 · 18/01/2020 16:16

@Ginge35 sorry 😢i nearly caved this morning but I'm glad I didn't or I would be feeling just the same right now. My gut just says it's a no this month. On the plus side we are all still on this crazy train together 😘

DustyDiva · 18/01/2020 15:44

@Ginge35 oh no!!! Hang in there 10dpo is early, test again day in a few days xxxxxx sending hugs xxxx

Wiggleyfingers · 18/01/2020 15:21

Oh no!!! I'm so sorry @Ginge35. Although you know you're not out yet, it is still early days.
I also caved and took a FRER at 4am this morning which was bfn. Since then have taken two ic which have shown faint bfp so no idea what is going on.
Why do we do this to ourselves? 😭

Ginge35 · 18/01/2020 14:47

Soooooooo I cracked and just took a PT.
BFN!!!!! 10DPO and AF due anytime between Monday & Wednesday, given I ovulated two days late.
To say I'm devastated is an under statement! I knew I was out anyway, but I think you know how I feel when you test anyway, with that small glimmer of hope, that maybe, just maybe it will be a BFP.
My weekend is ruined 😭😭😭😭😭😭
