@Beccylou94 with ivf you get an official test date, ours in feb 18th and were meant to do it together 😬😂

That's darker than yesterday! Why arent you supposed to be testing @MotherOfShihTzus

@Leonarda89 @Beccylou94 todays' tests! 😧 I'm not supposed to be testing - so somehow need to keep this from my husband 😂

I see a little something there @MotherOfShihTzus , fingers crossed for tests tomorrow being darker

I think I see something vvfl, test again with fmu, fingers crossed for you!

Is this a vvv feint positive? I'm 5 days past 5 day transfer having had ivf, equivalent of 10dpo. I tested out the trigger a few days ago. 3rd wee of the day as I caved in a moment of weakness! I've included the original and 2 types of filter;

@JC084 thank you for your kind words. Feeling a bit better tonight! Just use the test strips and obviously the ewcm. The only thing of note is I ovulate late in my cycle, around day 18, I don't know if this is an issue.
I have also noticed sometimes and I mean once or twice a year I have a period that is difficult to start and I am just having light bleeding, for maybe 2 days then it will start like normal. That's what is happening this cycle 2 days of light pink bleeding, then tomorrow ill probs start properly so I don't know if thats not normal!
I could do with loosing some weight so might just focus on that for a while and forget everything else.

@Beccylou94 also thank you for your kind words too i really needed it. As I said I keep all this to myself, think it's easier that way, but sometimes I need to let it out.

I'm so sorry to hear this @catness75 it's so hard trying and you've been doing it for such a long time. I wish there was something any of us could do to help. If you ever want to chat.

@catness75 oh I'm sorry to read. Feel free to message me on here any time.
I remember from your previous post you said there were no obvious reasons why you couldn't conceive (regular periods, in early 30s etc) and so if it's what you really want, then I wouldn't give up (though obviously do whatever feels right to you).
We have been trying for our 2nd for some time. Didn't even have a hint of a line for a long time, then when we did ... 3 losses in a row. It does take its toll.
What do you use to track? I found that as soon as I switched to clear blue digital ovulation tests I was able to conceive quite quickly. It took the guessing out of the ovulation strips.
I also lost a couple of stone and so that may well have helped too.
Honestly, do what feels right for you and your partner and feel free to message any time

@JC084 yeah I'm fine. I'm glad really it's on time and not late or anything because that's worse.

I think for me I'd like to stop now, I'd love for it to happen but it's not going to and in my heart I just know that.

The thing is no one knows about our struggles. I've been a mum for 11 years next month and for those 11 years I've watched mums at school have 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th babies. I've happily watched people at work bring their lovely news in and welcomed babies into my family. When people say oh when will you have another I just smile and go 'oh one is enough' so people think it's a choice I have made.

I had someone close to me have news of their second baby in 2 years the other day, and the effort it took to hold the tears knowing it's another one to face is so hard.

I avoid certain social situations family parties etc with DH because someone will give me a baby to hold and it obviously a very nice thing babies are lovely but I see the way he looks at me, worrying if I'm OK and we walk past the baby clothes in supermarkets pretending they aren't there.

I'll be forever grateful having one child because I am wayyyy luckier than some people but I want some peace to grieve and move on.

Thanks for listening to that i don't have anyone else to tell it to in my life and I feel a bit sad today.

It's so hard to tell, but I think I might see something

@catness75 sorry to hear, hope you're ok

I'm out AF has arrived! Good luck everyone!

Think I have line eyes, anyone else see a vvfl line on this? Have edited to try and show in the photo. Not using opk but think I'm bout 9dpo, AF due Mon or Tue.

@catness75 I think you're a bit early to class yourself as out. I think it's recommended waiting until 2 weeks after or 14dpo anyway. Don't add unnecessary stress :)

@Ivebeenthinkingtoomuch i honestly don't even know any more with tests! After days of vvvfl now I've got a BFN this morning. To me it looks like a positive 🤞🤞 but I know what these tests are like.

Below is my my very very bfn and I feel very AFish this morning. I am going to have 10 mins feeling sorry for myself and a cry then back to life.
Onto next month I suppose...good luck everyone!

Back again after a couple of months off and back with another easy at home which I think is a dud and invalid !! Don’t know why I keep using these 🤦🏼‍♀️ bloody dye run with a visible line. What’s everyone’s opinion please?

@catness75 haha do love a nice bit of kitchen roll 😂
Yeah, it's so hard to get the lines to show on a photo. That's what happened for my first positive - I could see it was there but no photo would show it!

@JC084
My phone almost like corrects it. I tried with flash but that's even worse haha! Oh sorry the background is my kitchen roll, was Christmas special is Morrisons going cheap after Xmas 2 rolls for £2 so stocked up! Kitchen roll is kitchen roll at the end of the day 😂

@catness75 hard to see in that photo and with the background - but I also know how hard it can be to get faint lines to show in a photo!
I'd say test again tomorrow morning with FMU and hopefully you'll get a stronger line 👍

@821k @JC084
I have just plucked up the courage and done these. With afternoon wee 🙄 but they both do have a line on.
Still don't know and think it's probs evaps and indents.
I'd say they are a touch darker in real life.

I can see a faint line @catness75 🤞

@JC084 im 8/9 dpo today. I didn't test this morning too scared! So I think I might just wait if I can, see if AF turns up! I don't think I'm pregnant because that would be silly to think so, but living in a maybe world for a day or two might be a nice change lol

@catness75 I think I can see something 🤞🏼 are you 9dpo now?

@catness75 i can see something
