@Skl2021 I understand. I had a client who didn't know she was pregnant until the day she gave birth...I mean, what a massive shock and adjustment to have to make, bless her....but sometimes I wish that would happen to me...

@Bridgey8 why would anyone think it’s ok to say something like that!

@Ganesh2022 this reminds me of what happened to me at work after my miscarriage... I only drink decaf tea and a girl in the kitchen said - why do you drink decaf are you pregnant or something? And I just word vomited "actually I just miscarried" x

Really noticing the awkward things people can say. Someone, apropos of nothing, told me at the weekend "you're smart to have stopped at two kids." I leaned into the awkwardness and said, actually I just miscarried. And I remember once asking someone, "have you enjoyed the bigger spacing this time?", to which she said "actually I had several losses between" :( Really making me think about the way people talk and how we can really step on something w/out meaning to...

@Skl2021 Have you asked about blood tests?

Ganesh2022 · 01/02/2022 11:26

@PamelaDoov, just did a little mumsnet digging and someone said this:

Perspective: several days of flashing smileys means you're having a decent estrogen surge, which means your body will produce fertile cervical mucus and build up a nice thick, healthy endometrium...

Obviously I have no idea if it's true...but...choosing to believe it for the minute

@Bridgey8 I'm just not feeling positive about it all. Think I'm comparing to other people and my last pregnancy I was getting strong lines like this at 9dpo. No I'm not going to test for a few days I only have one left now. Xx

@PamelaDoov I'm actually also on day 4/4 million. Fingers crossed it goes solid for us SOON and that this is THE MONTH. Do you use cheapies also? I use cheapies to compare at the moment, and it's nowhere near positive...confused, as that's the more sensitive of the two tests.

Bridgey8 · 01/02/2022 11:17

@Skl2021 I echo other comments... I think when they dry they look darker. Are you going to test again tomorrow?

Ganesh2022 · 01/02/2022 11:17

@calimc83 ouch. I'm sorry. It resurfaces, doesn't it. I had a good cry yesterday, too, remembering how I felt when we got the positive in December. Yesterday, someone at school baked homemade cookies for the class, and they have a newborn at home, and I cried to my husband that I can neither bake cookies nor do I have a newborn at home.

@Ganesh2022 @PamelaDoov hope you get your solid smileys soon! I have heard people get them for a few days tho! Good luck 🙌🤞 x

@calimc83 😩 I hope your ok. Sometimes it's good to have a cry it's incredibly tough to talk about. Were here if you need us 💕 xx

@calimc83 not getting my hopes up, ah I'm so sorry 😞 how are you? It's so hard to talk about isn't it 😞

calimc83 · 01/02/2022 10:04

Just had an appointment with occupational health about my MC and had a good old cry yet again...ffs...😭😭 xx

PamelaDoov · 01/02/2022 10:00

@Ganesh2022 I’m on day 4 but it feels like 4 million… I’ve heard some people can have up to 10 days of flashing smiley. The idea of DTD for 10 days fills me with dread.

PamelaDoov · 01/02/2022 09:58

I’m desperate to get home from work and do another OPK. Considering driving home at lunch time 😂 but I’ll be disappointed if it’s flashing. I want my static smiley! Especially as I had every ovulation sign yesterday. I did test again before bed in case the surge was happening but it was still flashing :( ewcm seems to have dried up a bit today so maybe ovulation happened overnight, or I might get a peak test today.

Ganesh2022 · 01/02/2022 09:55

Wow, so impressed by people's willpower!!! And also quite seriously considering inventing sticks you can pee on that just like...have a joke written on them or something?! Would those fill the urge? They probably wouldn't for me...but...

@Skl2021 Your tests look good to me! They're so dependent on things like concentration of urine, how they dry, etc...!

@aesgriff yay for peak!! I know how annoying it can be waiting...my dd was conceived on like cycle day 80 million.

I'm on day 2 million of flashing smiley. Sounds like other people here also have had that issue?? When does it go to solid?

@arianasky not great tbh but nothing I can do about it. It's very up and down 🤦🤣 u should of took one today I don't know how your holding off 🙊 I got dark opks before my bfp last time! But yeah some people get peaks before af! X

OP posts:
arianasky · 01/02/2022 09:12

@Skl2021 I think the top test is obviously very dry for a few days so that's why it seems that way? I think it seems ok, how are you feeling? Yes I managed to not test I think I might have to tomorrow though 😂🙈

Skl2021 · 01/02/2022 09:11
