@BlossomTree123 ah this is amazing!! Congratulations! 🥹 so lovely to see!!

BlossomTree123 · 10/08/2023 17:32

Managed to get my hands in an early CB and it came up straight away and so much more visible! So I think this is actually happening.

so my symptoms were for anyone symptom spotting:

  • 7DPO felt sick, not massively but enough to notice. (Spots breakout on chin)
  • around the same time started getting insomnia even though I was shattered
  • 8DPO was fatigued, needing to pee more often and got loads of mouth ulcers (strange)
  • 10DPO Faint lines in pregnancy tests

going to do cheap tests tomorrow to see like progression and then maybe another CB or FRER Sat/Sun to make sure everything is looking good.

My AF was meant to be due between Tue/Thu next week.

Congratulations @missmae and @BlossomTree123 😊😊😊

BlossomTree123 · 10/08/2023 11:11

@missmae @Tes004 thank you! Hoping it’s the start!! I have felt off for a few days, so I did guess but you never want to jinx it so you.

longingtobe23 · 10/08/2023 10:35

With that said - another negative today for me
i think I’ll be muting the thread and relaxing until AF comes, so sorry if I don’t respond
wishing you all the best in your pregnancies or next cycles 🥰

one day soon I will hopefully join you!

longingtobe23 · 10/08/2023 10:33

@HelloMoon87 we had our first as youngsters and knew we wanted to wait until he was at school/ we got married. We got together in high school!

So 5 years I was okay with, but he’ll be 8 in September 🙃 I think I’m over the age gap thing now haha

Tes004 · 10/08/2023 10:24

@BlossomTree123 whoop whoop !! Wow soo many of you got your bfp this month —- xx

missmae · 10/08/2023 10:22

@BlossomTree123 ahh congrats!! Deffo the start of your bfp!😍eeek so happy! This thread is doing well lol!

BlossomTree123 · 10/08/2023 09:54

Found a CB one in my draw, it’s not an early one though, but got a line! It’s so much darker in person and was there straight away and had blue to it! So 4 brands I’ve done this morning and have a faint line. Hoping this is the start….

held for 3 hours to do another one using 2 cheapies and got a faint line on both. But definitely there within the time.

missmae · 10/08/2023 08:56

@HelloMoon87 ohh interesting 😂yes makes sense I’m going to use my other clear blue tomorrow as will be 48 hours from the last one then… tbf I just checked and my cheapies are 25miu I didn’t know because I bought them from the pharmacy, so I’m surprised they’re even picking it up at all 😂

HelloMoon87 · 10/08/2023 08:42

@missmae yes it looks thicker, not sure if darker. I'm going to hold on to that. I'll likely only test tomorrow as going into office today and definitely don't want to be doing tests there 😂

missmae · 10/08/2023 08:35

@BlossomTree123 ah I see it!! This looks good, looks how mine did at 10dpo!🤞🏼😄

@HelloMoon87 have you retested to see if it’s getting darker? I’ve used another cheapie this morning and looks the same as yesterday I think… not much darker at all but I have woken up feeling hot and sick!

ttcthoughts · 10/08/2023 07:58

Congratulations to all with Positive tests, very exciting!

BlossomTree123 · 10/08/2023 07:28

@HelloMoon87 thank you. I did think I’m going to try hold it for 3/4 hours and try again!!

and I think that’s completely normal, I remember with my first pregnancy I couldn’t tell I was pregnant some days and then other days I felt so sick! It changed daily!!!

HelloMoon87 · 10/08/2023 07:09

It actually looks darker than the shadow I saw yesterday. If you have loads of cheapies, I'd say take one with second morning urine, it seems to make a difference for me. I've not had indents on easyhome 🙈 keep everything crossed for you 🤞

I lost all my symptoms this morning and getting worried, urgh I really hope I am not having a chemical 3rd time

BlossomTree123 · 10/08/2023 07:00

@HelloMoon87 me too! Hoping the line stays and progresses! Hope it’s not a nasty evap or something!!

@BlossomTree123 I see a shadow just like mine. Have everything crossed it progresses x eekk 🙈💚

Morning Girls,
so yesterday evening I took a easy@home test as I had those very very faint lines on the CB and FRER (but they were not dark enough to get on photo) and I’ve felt off for a couple of days (can’t explain it but just not myself and felt a bit nausea) so I took a easy@home and there was a very very faint line and I was like surely I can’t get an evap on all 3 brands.

so I’ve just took a easy@home one this morning and got a line within the 3 mins and I can get it on the photo. Please tell me you can see it and I’m not going mad.

it’s still faint but I am 10DPO today. I don’t have any CB or FRER early ones left but have some being delivered today.

@HelloMoon87 i most likely will do an early scan yeah probably at 8 weeks too! And have you! I’ve had waves of nausea today, but I wasn’t sure if it was the heat or not, it's been hot today for a change. That’s definitely a positive sign! 🥹 and yes, sister first to know. She’s my better half 😂 and yes I have told him too! Nope hasn’t eased at all yet. And it started exactly 6 weeks for me, I already have a box of cyclizine ready tho🤞🏼

HelloMoon87 · 09/08/2023 22:14

@missmae will you be booking an early scan? I am thinking maybe week 8, if all goes well till then. I couldn't believe it until that FRER test and then tonight I had first "proper" pregnancy nausea. So had some cereals in bed 😂 as I was also exhausted. I haven't had these symptoms in my chemicals, so feeling positive it's going in right direction, but still terrified.
Have you told your partner? I'm guessing your sister found out with you? 😂 Hope the back ache eased. Did hg start early for you?

OP posts:
missmae · 09/08/2023 22:07

@HelloMoon87 I’m okay!still in some disbelief 😂 will be until my scan I think… oh and my lovely HG! Quite excited & nervous. Symptom wise, my back is so so achey today. A very deep ache it’s very uncomfortable actually.
how are you?!

@@HelloMoon87 I think I’d like to be offered ovulation meds first clomid or letrozole etc but not guaranteed to be offered either 🥺
lots of people say worth a try - I’m so nervous so I will weigh up the options, really not looking forward to it all. But it does keep my mind busy to just process and go through the motions 🤭

Do you want close gap between your two? Can you go private? When I had the two chemicals, I went to IVF clinic with my husband and they did bunch of tests and I got to know the process and keep my options in case things didn't work for us. I had on my mind a deadline of end of year as that would have been a year for us, we are both 36-37, and wanted a 3 year gap for our two. I felt the pressure 🙈
