@TheBirdintheCave ohhh something is definitely catching my eye there..fwiw I've never had a sniff of an indent before..either totally negative or positive but never tested at 10DPO. Eek 😬, everything crossed for you xx @MrsJGrealish how u doing lovely? X

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 21:09

@LuckyMoonstone it does a bit. I was the one talking him round months ago. I know I can't do this without help now so I've been looking into private care today. Like the stroke was nearly 20 years ago? I had a copper coil fitted after DD so didn't rely on hormonal contraceptives but I'm pretty sure someone somewhere can help with the implantation process. I do worry that I'll be judged 'you have 3 DC be happy with that'..🙈 and I can understand that.

Ugh sorry for the rant. I'll cheer myself up by scrolling the conception page later 🤣 ❤️ Xx

LuckyMoonstone · 22/03/2023 20:19

@MrsJGrealish I agree with what others have said, you definitely have reason to get some medical assistance after all you’ve been through. But you shouldn’t put yourself through anything you don’t want to. Does DH wanting to carry on trying make you feel differently about it?

Indianna2006 · 22/03/2023 19:38

@FfoxRedN I’d deff say 4+3 then ☺️ who doesn’t love shaving a few days off. And deff more accurate to count from ovulation then period anyway.

@MrsJGrealish totally understandable hun. Nice to have a supportive DH. 🥰🥰 if you decide to keep going maybe see if GP or even privately can help with perhaps helping it to stick etc. think you mentioned perhaps you aren’t allowed progesterone? But sure they can check other things.
As you seem to fall quite easily don’t you but it’s getting it to hang on in there 😞😞

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 19:34

@Indianna2006 it's hard..I won't lie. Though I really want to see your rainbow babies 🥰 DH wants to keep going. Not sure how much more I can take 🖤 sorry hun bit of a mess today

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 19:28

@Indianna2006 it is certainly less than ideal! If I go from ovulation I'd be 4+3 adding on two weeks for LMP date so a couple of days extra. xx

Indianna2006 · 22/03/2023 18:53

@TheBirdintheCave meh that posted too early. Deff perhaps wait until Friday morning and try again. Like others said will deff be clearer.

@MrsJGrealish 🥰 you don’t have to leave us if you don’t want

Indianna2006 · 22/03/2023 18:52

@FfoxRedN LOL at the “apart from chronic vag itching” less than ideal lol.
The whole counting from your period is a stupid procress Altho the midwives will use it. Your scan you would likely move ahead. I’d count 2 weeks from your ovulation date and put yourself as 4 weeks there.
I knew 100% when I ovulated. And I still moved 4 days ahead from that as well lol..

@TheBirdintheCave I can see something if really look. But it does look grey to me with no sign of pink. So on that I’d say it’s evap. As I’d had plenty that looked like that an I was never pregnant.
Doesnt mean it won’t turn into something though. But those grey very pale lines are a fucker. I actually don’t rate frers at all anymore. Some tests seem to give you a grey evap and then a second test in same pee would be stark blank.

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 18:26

@bunnykins123 it's probably a combination. The antiobiotics said it's highly likely they'll cause it, coupled with the hormones I didn't stand a chance!!
I'm literally 4+1 but because I ovulated early I've known for a week 🙄. I feel fine though other than chronic vag itching 🤣🤣.

@MrsJGrealish you don't have to leave us lovely, we all want you to stay 🥰

@TheBirdintheCave I think if you test with FMU in the morning you'll be able to tell, that's only 12 hours away 🤞🏼 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 17:20

The more I look at it the more I'm convinced it's definitely an evap. Why do we do this to ourselves? I could have waited and drawn the suspense out til Friday or Saturday 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

OP posts:
MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 16:56

@bunnykins123 absolutely yes. Can buy otc for anyone over the age of 2.

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 16:55

Why is it so hard to leave you girls 😢 the chloramphenicol eye ointment should do the job too 😊

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 16:53

@MrsJGrealish are they over the counter? Good to know - I may go back and demand something in that case!

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 16:52

@bunnykins123 haha I would to but it needs a cold line transfer 😘

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 16:51

@bunnykins123 eh no. I have at least 20 of those in my fridge. There's a shortage of generic but optrex do a branded one. Maybe it's different in England 🤷‍♀️

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 16:48

@MrsJGrealish conjunctivitis eye drops apparently? Got a stash you want to send my way?! 🙃 My eye is looking very sorry for itself 😂

MrsJGrealish · 22/03/2023 16:46

@TheBirdintheCave I can see a line..good luck testing tomorrow 🤞❤️

@bunnykins123 what is there a shortage of?

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 16:44

@FfoxRedN could it be hormones? I find hormones do really funny things for me and the downstairs region especially when pregnant! It's not as puffy now but bright red. I'm hoping it'll be a bit better tomorrow as I don't really want to have to hunt down some eye drops!! I should have worn sunglasses.... how are you feeling overall? How many weeks are you now?

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 16:25

@bunnykins123 yeah I have the cream, it's less in the day and more at night, but hopefully this eve I'll be too exhausted for it to keep me awake 😂.
How's your eye holding up? Xx

LuckyMoonstone · 22/03/2023 16:15

@TheBirdintheCave Personally I think it looks clearer than an indent/evap 🤞 i never got them when I’ve used FRERs in the past, they were either totally blank or positive

bunnykins123 · 22/03/2023 16:10

@TheBirdintheCave probably! I tried to get some last week for DD but there was a national shortage so not sure I can be arsed to trapse to the pharmacy for the good stuff to have sold out. I defo see it! Like others say, wait till tomorrow and test with FMU 🤞🤞

@FfoxRedN oh no! You poor thing. That sounds awful. Have you got some cream to help?

FfoxRedN · 22/03/2023 15:55

@TheBirdintheCave I do see it, I would deffo try on FMU, either tomorrow or Friday. If it is there is should be darker by then 🥰 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 15:45

@bringmearainbow 10. I think it would be more obvious if it were real so I'm just going to tell myself it's an evap and use the other one in a few days to confirm it.

OP posts:
bringmearainbow · 22/03/2023 15:43

@TheBirdintheCave 😂 I would have done the same. I would say it's really hard to say and could be either. I can see it but I've had indents that looks similar. What dpo are you today?

TheBirdintheCave · 22/03/2023 15:39

So the FRERs arrived and I obviously used one on a 2.5 hour hold as I have absolutely no willpower 😅 Can you guys please tell me that this faint thing is just a really bad evap and these FRERs are dodgy? I know it can't actually be real I just need to hear it from someone else I think.
