Hope that pic has worked. I feel like it's not real. it was too soon to test... and just a evaporation or waterline or something

Yeah @halpmer that's what I did last month. But I felt like the CB app was telling me off 🙈 I wasn't sure if they do that to get you to use more and spend more money! Or if you genuinely have to be testing every day for 2 weeks 🤷‍♀️ Will go for the cheapskate method again and see what happens lol. X

@mammaj21 oh post a picture! 🤞🏻

Halpmer · 23/03/2021 11:09

@minthumbugs I'd just use the cheapies, sometimes not worth it with cb especially if you're quite sure you're not ovulating for ages I suppose. That's what I would do anyway!

MammaJ21 · 23/03/2021 11:09

I've read some post on here about suuuuper faint lines on pregnancy tests just being water marks? I think I'm imagining it...but it's the faaaaintest of lines so I'm guessing it's that.
I told myself I wasn't going to test so soon...not due til end of week. to be honest it's highly unlikely due to the fact couldn't dtd much at the time of supposed ov.. only once before day of positive opk due to illness. so it's sooo unlikely. I've been cramping for days...waiting for AF to arrive (not really sure of cycles ...last one was 27 days after MC. AF due on Friday using that cycle) little brown discharge yesterday. Felt a bit sick this morn. thinking it's all PM's..although I don't (or didn't priory to MC?) get symptoms really only maybe cramp day or two before and during. I only did the test as I was annoying myself ...but was trying to wait so hard as I'm sure and is going to appear any day/minute!!!

minthumbugs · 23/03/2021 11:00

Girls do any of you with longer cycles use the clearblue OPKS? I usually ovulate no earlier than CD20, tomorrow is CD8 for me and the app wants me to take my first test tomorrow. I'm not sure about the science of it but does it need tests from super early to measure a rise or something? Or am I good to just use cheapies every couple of days until next week and then start? Don't want to waste the pricey sticks haha. X

So sorry to hear @CycloGoose.

@Laurashakey I had the stabby pain when you sneeze when pregnant too

lucea87 · 23/03/2021 07:45

Just checking in girls. Sending you so much love and support @CycloGoose xxxx

Good luck @jodielouise26 xx

CycloGoose · 23/03/2021 07:43

I think I'm just booked in so it makes sense to go @Slinks8113 although they never like to diagnose these things with one data point anyway.
I'm taking it as a great opportunity to get my ovaries checked etc which will hopefully identify/rule out any pcos or endometriosis.
He's really dying after work. He's also a scientist with public health background. My veins are useless for getting blood out of and I'd said this to him. Then I'd said my blood tests were too low to sustain a pregnancy but he read this as 'my bloods are too low' and he was reading into this as blood count and blood pressure and having a little freakout I think. Especially as I do have existing borderline everything it seems 🤦🏼‍♀️ not really just on the anaemia side. I think I'd be anaemic in America but I'm not here 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyway. He's a bit of an internal catastrophiser I could just have done with not being snapped at but he was very good this morning and brought be a berocca in bed ☺️ Poor lamb. Don't think he slept.
I've decided not to go into school today which I feel really guilty about but I'm in quite a bit of pain and I had to leave in the afternoon anyway.
How are you doing? You worked your way up to feeling in the mood for your FW? 🤞❤️😘

Slinks8113 · 23/03/2021 07:31

@CycloGoose hope you're ok this morning and hubby is too. What was the confusion over the blood tests with him? Men are never good at these things though! Is the scan to 100% rule out or is there still a chance? X

@CycloGoose Thankssss 🤭

Thinking of you lovely 💜 xx

CycloGoose · 23/03/2021 07:02

Thanks everyone. Still scan this afternoon. My fecking temperature has gone up today just to spite me.

@jodielouise26 good skills girl! Well done 🤞🤞🤸

jodielouise26 · 23/03/2021 06:55

@minthumbugs @Laurashakey it's gonna be a long waiting game now.
I'm working nights the rest of this week so that's probably the only chance I'll get 🤞🏻

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 06:53

@CycloGoose yeah men deal with it differently. My DF is exactly the same 🙄

@jodielouise26 hahah wooo that’s good news hun, keep us updated x

minthumbugs · 23/03/2021 06:43

Lol @jodielouise26 woooohoooo, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

jodielouise26 · 23/03/2021 06:24

@Laurashakey @minthumbugs I managed to get what I wanted last night! Woohoo! 😃🤞🏻

soontobeamama · 22/03/2021 22:22

I'm so sorry @cyclogoose, you take care xx

minthumbugs · 22/03/2021 22:08

Aww @CycloGoose. Men tend to deal with things differently don't they! He will be feeling the same as you just different ways of showing it. Xx

CycloGoose · 22/03/2021 21:54

He had a go at me for confusing him about what I meant with the blood tests. Then he's just been silent. Men are shit at helping you through a tough time.

Not really positive but fake it til you make it right. I never believed it was real anyway so it's just been this long time in limbo.

Halpmer · 22/03/2021 21:50

Oh no @CycloGoose! Thinking of you. Stay strong 😞❤️

Laurashakey · 22/03/2021 21:33

Look after yourself @CycloGoose❤️

Laureatus · 22/03/2021 21:26

Hope you don't mind if I tag on here too. We're not actively trying but will do soon. I'm on a kind of TWW as we DTD at the weekend and then I realised Flo said it was my ovulation day. It'd be a ridiculous miracle if it worked just on one go this month but you never know.

Slinks8113 · 22/03/2021 21:21

Oh @CycloGoose so sorry to hear this! Thinking of you both. Take some time for yourself ❤️ x

Really sorry @CycloGoose xxxxxx

Thinking of you and your partner, look after each other honey Flowers

Fifi1086 · 22/03/2021 21:04

@CycloGoose I'm so sorry. You sound super positive which is the right attitude but also take some time to have a cry or feel sad 💕💕

CycloGoose · 22/03/2021 20:45

HCG only 23 so miscarriage imminent if not already happened 10 days ago. I think the former as a LOT of pink discharge today.
Gonna drive home now. Loads of love to you all xxx
