I thought I'd start a thread for all those who will be starting out TTC this month, I'd be interested to see how other people get on, tips, moral support etc. We'll be starting TTC at the weekend!!
Please join me!

Hi ali, obviously don't know you but do you think he is panicking about the reality of a baby? DP and I definItely argued more when I was pg than ever before, just increased tensions on both sides?

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 12:16

Ali, I know the feeling, last time I was pregnant DH and me argued more than ever and some nights I used to go to bed in tears thinking what have I doneee! I think it's something about TTC/pregnancy that makes men go insane. Luckily me and DH haven't really argued much yet but I suppose I'm only a few weeks!

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 13:27

I also cracked and POAS again. It was an apparent super sensitive one that can pick up HCG levels of 5???? Anyway it was a BFN and I've lost hope now as I'm 11dpo and the test was extra sensitive. I guess I'll wait for AF and try again next month. I'll be a woman on a mission!!!!
Keeping my fingers crossed for you all.
Congratulations Ducky on your BFP :-) Xx

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 13:32

Carman I'm 12 DPO n got a bfn too :/
If AF hasn't shown by the weekend I'll test again but I have a feeling I'm out too

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 13:35

What test was that Carmen? 11dpo is still early tho!

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 13:42

It was "Viola" I've never heard of it before?? It does say you should use FU of the day to be sure and I did it this afternoon. I have some ER tests which I'll do in a few days I think. Just to be sure....may as well use them up!
We're in the same boat then cupcake! It's not much fun hey!
Xx

Hey guys just poas. Think I'm imagining the very faintest of lines. I'm only 11dpo Don't want to show my dh as he thinks I'm already obsessed ( which is true) it was an asda 3.50 for 2 so think they are 15hcg. It's so hard to have hope think I'm going crazy. Feel tearful that I want a sticky bean so much I can't trust my own judgement. Guess I will test again in the morning. All I want now is a drink, I know not wise. Sorry for the all about me message.

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 14:17

That's ace rainbow!!!!

That's how my BFP started off!! No one else could see it apart from me and they thought I was going nuts until I did a first response one and the faint line came up on that!!

Keep us updated!!!! Grin

And the first thing I wanted was a wine! I managed to restrain myself though! Smile

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 14:27

Thanks Ducky just feeling so stressed don't want to believe it and then be let down. Think I've got line eyes!

Tempted to go and get a different brand but don't want to see a bfn!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 14:34

Well the asda ones are 15 so there is more sensitive ones.

But honestly my first one was mental I was the only person who could see it and it was the faintest ever line in the whole world lol. Then it got darker the next day, lighter the day after and now it's a very strong positive!

Good luck!! Really hope it is a BFP for you Smile

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 14:42

That's how I feel like I'm the only one who would be able to see it. The asda one also says to disregard results after 15mins so can't show dh as he's at work. I will test again in the morning. Thanks for the good luck

KatoPotato · 22/04/2014 14:44

What is the most sensitive test out there? I'm 11 dpo, AF due Friday but I'm desperate to test!!!

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 14:54

Sounds like that one Carmen used. Haven't heard of a 5ml one!!

Rainbow I have kept all of mine to see how they have changed over the days (and to show midwife how mental I am) I think you only disregard if it's negative because of Evap lines (I think) none of mine have changes over the past few days. I even have the first one stuck to my make up table mirror because i think I'm nuts to have studied it enough to see that line.

Can you take a pic on your phone and keep it til DH gets back? And see what he says, although personally I think men can't see the lines! Ha! Wink

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 15:17

I've attached a photo of my test I did when I was of with DS :) it's an asda 2 for £3.50 I got this most faintest line EVER!! This was at CD32 no idea about DPO as I was on pill lol
But I dunno if u guys can see it.
I'm just trying to give myself hope! Lol!

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 15:18

Oh and I did the CB digital the day after which came back 'pregnant 2-3 weeks' so it did take me a while to actually get that with my DS I was already late for AF

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 15:30

I can't see it on my phone and can't log in on comp because i forgot my new password already! Doh!

I took a picture of my one the other day with the faint line but you can't even see it on a picture! Smile

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 15:38

I tried to take a pic couldn't make out the second line. Just want to sleep until tomorrow now. Convinced myself the line is my imagination.

Cupcake think I can see the line but like I said I have line eyes at the moment hehe

Ducky23 · 22/04/2014 15:42

Have you got an unused one rainbow you can compare it too?

If you have another one maybe not have a drink for a couple of hours then open another one and compare it to the one before, if you see a line on that then you know it's probably a shadow or somethig? If you don't see a line you probably got yourself a little bean Smile the. You can take the test just to confirm.

looking4rainbow · 22/04/2014 16:15

Yes I have 4 in the drawer hehe. Thanks for advice will do that tonight. I'm now symptom spotting feeling sick but it's probably the Easter egg I just comforted myself with!

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 17:47

Congrats looking4rainbow!! :)

Woo looking for rainbow! Hope it's darker 2moro so that you can convince yourself your not seeing things :)

BearsInMotion · 22/04/2014 18:43

I can see it rainbow!

elcarmen2010 · 22/04/2014 19:42

It sounds promising looking4rainbow! Fingers crossed for you Xx
Katopotato - Earliest test I found was a brand called Viola
www.lloydspharmacy.com/en/viola-super-early-pregnancy-test-265101
It says it can detect 8dpo but I'm 11dpo with symptoms and got a BFN which was disappointing. Good luck!

lillamyy1 · 22/04/2014 20:43

Alizeeod, so sorry to hear about your argument. Are things any bette now? Obviously I don't know anything about the row, but it might be possible that you're over-thinking things because you've got so much on your mind? I really doubt that having known each other for 10 yrs you've made the wrong decision.
I hope everything rights itself. Thanks

Cupcake92 · 22/04/2014 20:48

I just had a look at that pregnancy test carman
How does it detect 8 days after conception?
And why do they put 2 pregnancy tests in the box?
Sorry for the questions lol but surely if it's so sensitive u only need 1 test?
