I clearly see a line there.
Maybe give it a few days and see if it gets darker. Or order a digital from Amazon.

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:01

But we didn't even dtd at the right time!!!! What's going on?

OK. So I'm freaking out a bit here now. If it's positive and I haven't managed to find out about why I've been mcing then I could potentially go through another 3 weeks of dehydrating sickness, all for no reason because it'll stop again at 8-9 weeks. My problem hasn't ever been implantation, it's getting past the first 2 months. Aaaaaargh!

Frogcatcher · 16/03/2013 13:01

I can see it! And I'm on my phone! Wooooo that's two lines in a week.
Congratulations Tally! Are you going to tell DH? Can't remember if you said he was away tho?

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 13:03

Sorry, gap between typing, answering door then coming back and posting was too great!

tallyra I definitely see a line!!

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:04

Yes, I've told him. It's not quite so exciting for us though as we've been through this bit lots of times before. In answer to you Merkin, I feel a bit like crap because of the migraine and my back and shoulder hurt really badly in the places I've been having chiro for (but it only flares up occasionally now). I don't feel particularly different, but then I didn't the last times either.

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 13:05

Do you know for sure when you Ov?

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:05

Also, I've taken 3 triptans this week, which you're not supposed to do if pg. and ibuprofen. And I even had a sneaky cigarette the other night even though I haven't smoked since I met dh 7 years ago....

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:06

Nope. Never followed it before. I just went by the estimated date on my app which isn't ff.

Frogcatcher · 16/03/2013 13:07

Think positive Tally if you didn't get implantation bleeding before & had mcs then hopefully it's burrowing nice & deep this time & intending to stick around. I know that's probably v unscientific (but hopefully not massively insensitive) & I haven't been through what you have but fx your luck is changing. Drs told my friend who had v bad morning sickness right from start (tho not hg) that it was usually a good sign but that might have just to make her feel better.

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:09

When you say you didn't DTD at the right time in assuming your dates must just be a bit out otherwise you actually do win the immaculate conception crown. Don't worry about the meds or cigarette, you most likely hadn't implanted then, and most people do stuff they shouldn't before they find out. This time you have got the power of the berries to make it stick. Do your docs monitor you v closely?

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:10

((((Hugs)))) for feeling like crap but also high five for your news Grin

Frogcatcher · 16/03/2013 13:11

And don't beat yourself up about the pills & cig - so many women do so much before they realise they're pg & baby comes out fine. What's done is done. Ooooh am so excited for you & merkin tho sad that you're going to leave us all behind PIMPing on our own Sad

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:11

Hopefully they will - they haven't before but I'll make a fuss this time if it really does look positive.

The sickness is supposed to be good, everyone say so. I think I'm just an exception, although on the Hyperemesis forum there are quite a few women who have had HG and then miscarried.

ILoveMyCats · 16/03/2013 13:21

I can defo see a line, tally. I totally understand why you are being cautious. IMHO, I think this warrants a trip to the GP on Monday and a speedy referral to the appropriate care.
P.S. thanks for the advice on exercise, berries. Will do it! She says, sitting on sofa in slanket watching csi....

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:22

tally I'd get onto your doctor on Monday and stamp your feet and scream and shout until they do every single test possible as it could just be something simple (eg low progesterone levels) causing your previous mmcs. Put your feet up (in between pimping) and celebrate because today you are pregnant and this time may be your happy ending.
Oh and you will know this better than me but some of my tests are dark and some are lighter. A line is a line, darkness is not better and does not mean anything!
berries we're on a roll!! Whoop whoop, who's next?

cherrycoconut · 16/03/2013 13:26

Helloo, been AWOL for a few days what with RL getting a bit full on. Sooo pleased to pop back in and find two BFP's for you Merkin and Tally. It's like a huge pee stick swoosh of hope for us all, fantastic news! Glad to see the law of sod is alive and well. Timing mmm probably not choice but BFP is BFP right?

Merkin I am in awe at your PIMPING knowledge - all hail your stick know how that us berries can benefit from. Don't bog off too soon to the dark side please. We will miss your wit and humour as well as your scientific most excellence!

Pip definitely winnning the EWCM prize there. I read recently that the evil BCP stops your CM ducts working alltogether and they have to unshrivel their dry selves to get back in working order. Eeeew. I'll add that to my list of pill badness.

Barking - acupuncture can help or hinder ttc depending on the points you use I think. They certainly want to know whether you are pre or post ov and ttc to tailor treatment. Could just be that your physio treatment is not compatible?

Hope all ill bods feel better soon x

Me nothing much to report - temps up this morning to 97.6 above coverline but that could be the few G&T's consumed last night?

Still resolutely stuck in C#1 yawn.

Cherrycoconut 33 ttc#1 since August 2012 (stillcycle 1). Post pill amenorrhea. OV & AF AWOL 7 months now

Frogcatcher · 16/03/2013 13:29

Give me a chance - my egg's not even popped out the store cupboard yet this cycle! Someone else can be number 3 (as things always come in 3s) this time. Who's up for a BFP next on the list?

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:30

This is 4 (counting the instadiffer)

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:32

cherry was it you that had potentially Od?im not going anywhere btw!

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:33

I'm so glad no-one seems to think I'm instadiffing on you all too, that worried me for a bit

cherrycoconut · 16/03/2013 13:44

Glad to hear it Merkin :)

As for O well, Monday's OPK was +ve but temps and CM didn't correspond. Everything about my chart so far says my body is trying but so far failing to O yet. Waiting for bloods back from doc to see if they will shed any more light.

it surely won't be me biological impossibility

Tallyra · 16/03/2013 13:53

By the way, we'd better start on deciding a new thread name soon or it'll run away from us like last time!

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:54

But your temp is up today cherry? What were Mon, tue, wed, thur and Fri temps like? I think you've O'd (always optimistic!)
tally you have posted more than once, you're an active berry, of course you're not an instadiffer! I'm more of an instadiffer than you! I am literally crossing everything for you and feel for you as to how scary this must be. Do you thing your hg has kicked in already? I really know very little about it other than the overview that it is horrific and so severe Hmm

CatsCantFlyFast · 16/03/2013 13:55

Ooh is bunny absent? Might get my chance to start a thread after all Wink mwah ha ha ha. If she doesn't appear I'm all ready and willing!

barkingtreefrog · 16/03/2013 13:59

Technically it still could be me next. AF due tomorrow and no sign of it as yet. Bfn all over the place but as I'm only 7dpo this doesn't necessarily discourage me from hoping!! It would be a third law of sod given I've finally got my fertility appointment through!
