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…

Line Eyes, obsessive testers and chats ❤️

@Ana12345 sorry to hear that, enjoy your glass of wine!

So the line is there still, might not be able to see it in the photo. Bottom test is this mornings. I wouldn't say it was any darker but it's definitely visible and I've never had a line like this on these tests. So will be holding my wee and heading out for a FRER today!

Ana12345 · 03/09/2022 05:21

I'd say my period kind of started. Hope to know for sure by this evening, at least to have a glass of wine over dinner... trying to make the best of it...

mamazac · 02/09/2022 21:25

@Ana12345 thank you, I will do!

Ana12345 · 02/09/2022 21:24

@mamazac fingers crossed! Let us know. 🤗🤗

mamazac · 02/09/2022 21:18

@JaneGnR88 honestly if that's an indent I will eat my left arm 😂 never seen a faint line so clearly

I can see that! ✨✨✨ Keeping everything crossed for you! Xx

@JaneGnR88 this might be clearer

No only another cheapie, if it's still there I'll go and get a frer

Hey @mamazac I can kind of see something and your eyes know better than me! I’d be really interested to see how you get on in the morning, especially as those are just the cheapy tests, do you have any frer? X

OP posts:

mamazac · 02/09/2022 20:13

So I got this tonight.. don't know if it's visible for you guys but I can see it clearly and I'd go as far to say it was pink

You know when you see a test and you know it's not positive, but this one I got instantly nervous and shaky because it doesn't look like an evap. It may not be a BFP, but it might be a P..

Hailsxx · 02/09/2022 17:51

Hi ladies,

I just left testing today and have tried to just push it to the back of my mind today, AF is due tomorrow so I think I'm just going to wait and see what happens 🙈, had cramps in my back last night and twinges in my lower belly but no symptoms at all today, normally a few days before af I get really sore boobs but there not sore at all which is strange 🤣

@JaneGnR88 fingers crossed that when Monday comes you will get a bfp after enjoying your weekend 🤞 I feel frers are gone really bad lately for indents and evaps 🙄 they were never this bad before

@mamazac so sorry to hear you got a bfn this morning, hoping it happens for you soon, and it will be all so worth it one day ❤️

Ana12345 · 02/09/2022 14:16

@JaneGnR88 , I know you're right. It helps having you guys here. 🤗🤗

Ahh what are we all like, there must be something in the water today!

I can absolutely related @Ana12345 we’re trying for our first too, the first time we tried I got pregnant and then lost it 2 days after getting me BFP so I grasping at any hope now as that was in December. But we will get there! My sister took over a year and had 2 losses and now she has two perfect little boys 🥰

Ana12345 · 02/09/2022 09:00

I also feel a bit down today. For us there is no baby yet so we don't have a successful pregnancy to fin hope in that. And the fact you only have 12 chances to try per year it's quite discouraging...

mamazac · 02/09/2022 07:19

AF due on Sunday/Monday.

This is cycle 7, but it took us 13 cycles to conceive our first so it's just knowing that we're probably going to be in for the long game again which is heartbreaking.

It's hard not to get yourself down, but usually once I've come on I cheer up again because I know I'm onto my next chance.

It will happen for us, hopefully sooner rather than later xx

JaneGnR88 · 02/09/2022 07:17

Aww I’m sorry @mamazac when is AF due? How long have you been trying now?

I feel the same, just desperate for some good news and feel all over the place 😣

OP posts:

mamazac · 02/09/2022 07:13

BFN for me today. Very moody about it.

Counting myself out this month and just ready to start again next week x

JaneGnR88 · 02/09/2022 06:46

Morning all, how is everyone today? Any symptoms?

@Hailsxx I feel like I can see something but super faint but could be the start of something?!

I’m feeling a bit low, still crampy and tested with a frer and can’t really see anything at all, so think those convincing lines yesterday were evaps/indents. Just going to try and enjoy my weekend as still early days and test on Monday with another frer 🙄

Photo of this mornings frer attached. (My old
iphone camera is seriously getting on my nerves too!)

Hailsxx · 01/09/2022 22:10

@Ana12345 it's actually frustrating when somthing keeps catching your eye and you can't actually tell if its somthing or your eyes are playing tricks on you 🤣 I've been there before taking tests apart, your not alone on that one 🤣

Thank you so much for looking i will either take another one in the morning or Saturday morning 🤣

Ana12345 · 01/09/2022 21:59

@Hailsxx I totally understand you. Today I ripped a test apart trying to find the damn second line that didn't want to appear.

I can see sth, but don't know if it qualifies as a positive test. I heard you should be able to see the line and the color. Maybe you repeat it tomorrow to try get out of doubts.

Hailsxx · 01/09/2022 21:53

Hi ladies,

Just wondering if I can jump in here too 🤣 im 12-13 dpo today and I took a frer this morning and I think my eyes are going square from looking at it 🤣 can yous see anything on it? or am I going mad 🤣 I've inverted a pic and can see it too but don't know if it's a evap or an indent or a real line 🙈

Ana12345 · 01/09/2022 20:47

@mamazac I can see sth on the second one as well. But indeed, I heard it should have a color... we can only wait :(

With mines there's nothing at all, so who knows. Maybe that line could indicate something.

mamazac · 01/09/2022 20:12

Did another cheapie this evening, same line maybe maybe a tiny bit clearer but I'm not sure. It's the bottom test, I've darkened it as might be able to see clearer but there's not any colour to it.

Just wish af would hurry up as I have a bad feeling.

Gillseybear · 01/09/2022 19:34

@JaneGnR88 yeah my plan for tomorrow is I am going to see my friend and my nephew and just having some lunch and time with her. I just wish things were simpler and made total sense but I will keep an eye on it and test again on Monday if it's still all over the place.

JaneGnR88 · 01/09/2022 19:33

Let me know how you get on @mamazac ! 🤞✨

@Ana12345 I know that feeling of just getting to a point where you’d just be happy if AF came so you could move on!

@Gillseybear you’re right to take it easy, it’s a stressful time, try to do something to take your mind off it for a couple of days?

OP posts:

Gillseybear · 01/09/2022 14:14

@JaneGnR88 I am cycle day 31 I believe. Not sure about post ovulation as I did not get chance to properly track it this month. I had spotting which was very light and seemed weird. So I assumed that it was implantation bleeding.
Just taking it easy today and trying to relax. I am so confused as to what is going on with my body right now.
