@gb000 it took me until week 6 to really have symptoms last time, they’ll come! I have everything crossed for you! Flowers

@lilypad88 @babyG123 @peonyrose87 thanks ladies, I really appreciate it. Don't know why I'm finding it so hard to believe! I think it's the lack of symptoms. Will cross my fingers for my betas on Mon and Weds. thank you x

lilypad88 · 02/05/2020 09:29

@gb000 honestly, they’re all very clear positives! I really wouldn’t focus too much on the colour of the lines, yes they can vary, but a positive is a positive! Smile

Anyone wanna give me their thoughts on today's line progression?? I feel like it miiight be a bit darker & same as control line? Not a dye stealer tho.

@babyG123 thank you. Still trying. Such an emotional rollercoaster trying for a baby. I feel like it might never happen.

Seriously! 😂 I'm sitting here supposed to be working and just totally distracted by googling mine progressions...I actually think if I AM pregnant next week I will need to go see someone or look for some resources around anxiety, it's off rhe charts!

@babyG123 haha don't worry I know - I just mean that last Sunday it said 1-2 (so I was 3-4 weeks) and logically this Sunday, a week later, it should read 2-3 (so 4-5 weeks). This weekend is gonna be fun 🙄

@gb000 with clear blue ones you add 2 weeks to what it says. It says that in tiny writing that no one reads!

@gb000 thank you! It was tough-we found out at a private scan at 11 weeks after having had an early scan at 7 weeks where all was well. Didn’t help it took so long for my period to return, but things seem to be getting back to normal now. Congratulations on your BFP!! The tests definitely change over time when left out so please don’t analyse them too much!! Sending lots of positive wishes Flowers

gb000 · 01/05/2020 10:34

@peonyrose87, sorry for your loss. That must have been horrific. Hang in there - early days for your new cycles trying! 💐💐

gb000 · 01/05/2020 10:34

Thanks @lilypad88 and @babyG123. I will keep my fingers crossed for my bloods. Might do another clearblue on Sunday to see if it reads 2-3 but I've read those are notoriously inaccurate so might just send me off into a spiral.

I can't believe how emotional/irrational I feel about this - I'm a lawyer IRL and I swear not this crazy!!

peonyrose87 · 01/05/2020 10:03

Hi everyone, jumping in to join this thread!
I’m 32, fell pregnant in November, had a MMC in January and it took ten weeks for my period to return. So I’ve had one cycle and I’m pretty sure AF is on its way now. Gutted, as we both thought I might have been pregnant as I’ve had some symptoms the same as the last time.

lilypad88 · 01/05/2020 09:38

@gb000 yea they look nearly identical to me too! The line is still very much present regardless of it's intensity compare to 15 DPO. It doesn't look like it's fading away to me

@gb000 the recent picture they almost look identical 🙌🏽

@gb000 yes they get darker. Coming from a girl who stored all her tests the whole pregnancy 🤣

The ovulation sticks I have to say look at exactly 5 mins after you've used them as they get darker too.

OP posts:
gb000 · 01/05/2020 09:09

@lilypad88 maybe, but I used FMU for both (though I suppose that must vary & can't be identical every day!).

I've looked at the tests again and now the one from this morning looks ever so slightly darker, closer to 15Dpo...what do you think? God this is a mindf*ck...

lilypad88 · 01/05/2020 09:03

@gb000 maybe your urine wasn't as concentrated as for the other test? Has the line changed after a bit of time now? Fingers crossed it will be all good at your blood test 🤞🏻

gb000 · 01/05/2020 08:25

@babyG123 sorry you are feeling poorly! That's interesting about the lines...I had never thought of that! So my older ones could have gotten darker?

On another note. My sick bug from 2-4dpo has returned. Feel terribly nauseous and trying not to get excited. 7dpo and another week until af!!!

Welcome everyone!

@LAG1986 how annoying, stick with us, a supportive bunch 😘
@lilypad88 I think that's the joys of our age group all trying it makes you see. With DS1 when I was pregnant my friend was going through ivf after trying for years and I felt terrible guilty until she announced she was pregnant too half way through my pregnancy!
@gb000 dont forget the line develops more after a few hours, kinda expires type thing so if you're comparing the lines now they'll be different. Trust me I took one a day with DS1 and turnt psycho!!! 🤣
@ivyninja @SmileyT welcome and good luck xxx

Hi thought I would join aswell if that is okay? I'm 31 and TTC #1 after an unplanned pregnancy that ended in MC in March, so this is my first full cycle since and I'm CD13 with no signs of ovulation yet.

Has anyone here had fertility tests? And if so which ones? And how did you go about getting them? I'm starting to worry that I've left it too late to start ttc and wondering whether I'll need some help.

@gb000 Congrats on your BFP 🥳.... I know people find it hard but if you are having blood tests next week I'd stop testing now as you'll probably drive yourself mad analysing hpts you have another 36 weeks left so don't want you to stress yourself out with worry🤰The blood tests will show you a much better progression than using hpts ❤️
