Hi all,

I wanted to start a thread where people can come to brain dump about feelings, symptoms and anything really. I’m struggling with TTC, pcos and a lot of emotions this month and find it useful to just hear what others are going though!

I also thought a thread for people like me who can’t help but test to share photos and experiences 😌

My most recent tests attached, could be anything from 18-5 DPO 🤦‍♀️ Neither are with FMU.

Current symptoms, EXTREMELY bloated, twinges in hips and sides and knackered - none of these are massively unusual for me…

@MilkyAndFluffy

IMP = In my opinion Smile

I'm ok, it's a bloody emotional rollercoaster and I'm almost a year into TTC now with nothing. But having some scans this week for potential fibroids and hoping that things change soon.

I'm CD25 and 7-11DPO today, not sure exactly as was away during the window between and must have ovulated then based on previous months.

Got everything crossed for everyone Flowers

Hi lovely @wellhelloitsme Thank you sooo much for replying to me so quickly! Oh amazing - i thought it was but I was doubting myself with it being the first time I’ve had one! Also sorry to be daft, what does IMO mean chick? Hope you are okay x x

Hi ladies, hope you are all good! Looking for abit of help!! I am TTC with baby number 1, came off the mini pill literally 2 weeks so wasn’t expecting much anytime soon but decided on Wednesday last week to start doing ovulation tests (just cheap sticks from home bargains) just to check if anything happened. I am yet to have any withdrawal bleeding or AF since coming off the pill (2 weeks ago) but when I did my morning ovulation test this morning the test line seemed a lot less faint than previous days… Being a newly obsessive tester I decided to do another one this evening and it’s come back even stronger! Can anyone help me to confirm if I’m actually potentially ovulating?! I just assumed I would ovulate after coming on AF but I’ve had 0 bleeding! I’ve posted a pic of todays 2 tests. Don’t want to get my hopes up thinking I’m ovulating if I’m not!!! X x x

Girls, please help. I'm really confused. Based on my calculations I ovulated on 14th. Had several test, including sensitive ones, all clearly negative. Went on the weekend, had 3 glasses of prosecco in one night and far many on the other. Also took some pills for headache. This morning had another test, one of those very cheap, and it appears rather positive. There is definitely a second faded line. I don't even know if I should or nor get excited. As I drank quite a lot on the weekend... I also think it could be a false positive on this test.

What do you think? Thanks

Ana12345 · 29/09/2022 16:40

@MelissaD10 second line is there. Hope everything goes smoothly this time.

Ana12345 · 29/09/2022 16:39

@JaneGnR88 , fingers crossed for you, but I can't really see a second line. I also just took a test and got a BFN. Guess I will have to try again next month. Hope you get back with good news.

I’m currently 9dpo and got a few faint lines on cheap strips, did a frer this morning and can see a faint line! Not counting my chickens but what do people think? 🤞🤞🤞

Jumping back in here to see how everyone is getting on?

@Gillseybear did you get to the bottom of everything? Hope it was good news! 🙏

@JaneGnR88 I am so sorry. I am sending hugs and positive thoughts.
I still feel like crap and still no answers for me. The urine and stool test that the doctors did came back all clear but they were done to rule out infections. Therefore i am no closer to an answer now. So I am hoping the doctors will now do blood tests. I still feel no better at all and my symptoms are getting worse. Legit getting up a couple of times a night to throw up.
I am going to do a test tomorrow morning. I got a Frer test and so I shall go from there. Here's hoping that yields answers.

JaneGnR88 · 07/09/2022 15:54

How is everyone?

I’ll be honest I’m having a terrible day today. Tested this morning and BFN, feel hopeless. I’m just so upset and sad all the time and the lines I saw yesterday were such a glimmer of hope. Feel like my body is letting me down. I know I’m only 11 DPO and there’s still time but I just feel….urgh.

Almost the same DPO as you and feeling very similar, it's so tough isn't it?

Wish I didn't feel so preoccupied with it Flowers

Ana12345 · 07/09/2022 20:59

@JaneGnR88 , hope you get your good news as soon as possible. I'll be cheering for you!

Thanks @Ana12345 I’m feeling a bit better this evening, just had a moment! I think I’m just putting so much pressure on myself, need to chill
out 🙃 I think with having my pcso diagnosis and irregular periods I just feel like I have such little chance but I’ll try to stay positive! Xx

@JaneGnR88 I am so sorry. Felt the same this month. Please try to take each day at a time and don't test before your AF is due. It's just making it worse. I'm thinking of you. Take care and please don't loose hope. 🤗🤗

@JaneGnR88 oh I totally know what you mean. I still have no answers yet. Still waiting for my test results to come back.
It's such a stressful and painful times.

I see lines on both of them tests. These look positive to me.

Bless you @Gillseybear its so tough isn’t it! I was so so down yesterday, you just wish it would be easier, never expected any of this! Used to think you sniffed a boy wrong and you would have triplets 😂

I’ve tested this morning using a frer and strip and can see lines, what do you think? Around 10 DPO now (I think!) 🤞😭

Hey @JaneGnR88

Nope I completely forgot to be honest. I had an important meeting and phone call this morning and I over slept. So I did not have the time to do the test. Should get my test results for my urine and stool sample that I did last week back tomorrow. If that yield nothing then I will be requesting a blood test to figure everything out.
I am still not feeling any better myself. I threw up about 5 times before bed last night and then got up twice in the night to be sick and so that's not fun. My partner has noticed that I am very bloated and seem bigger around the middle which he is concerned about.

I am so sorry about your news though. I have suspected endometriosis and I have had issues for a long time but nothing like this and so I get what you mean. Sending hugs your way
