TTC FIRST BABY - THREAD NO. 9

[stormtrooperjulian]

We’re almost at the limit on thread no.8 so I thought I’d start a new one before that one fills up

@cupcakesandglitter @MrsEG @Delilah7 @crossfitgirl @DayDreamer1707 @FlapJackered @sunshine1987 @FivexFive @GemmaJen @daisiesandpeonies @KatBeCool

Sorry to anyone I’ve missed 😘

@stormtrooperjulian are you going to test, I really don't dare! I really don't think I am....

@stormtrooperjulian Maybe hold out a few days then, just to be on the safe side! Have you got any symptoms other than the nausea?

Thanks for all the OPK advice! Hope everyone is doing ok today

@mrsaw2018 when I got a positive with a clearblue digital I only got a faint positive on the IC, I don’t think they’re as sensitive as they say they are x

Morning all and happy Friday!

So I did the test and got what looks like a big fat evap line! So now onto my SMEP...😊

Sorry forgot to attach the picture.

@DayDreamer1707 do you have a frer?

@FlapJackered sorry about your insurance. But they cover at least something, right? Mine is changing as of next year and they're finally including fertility, only up to IUI though, no IVF coverage. But at least I don't have to pay out of pocket for HSG.

@cupcakesandglitter I've had random ewcm happen almost a week after ovulation, not sure what the explanation is. Just the beauty of our bodies.

@sunshine1987 they cant be very sensitive at all then because clear blue's not supposed to be sensitive are they? X

Quick question... do some people only get positives on FRER after their period is due? I've not done one but just wondering whether there's still hope if it's negative!

@stormtrooperjulian DH was too tired last night, and then he didn't have time before he left for work 😩 I'm taking it as a positive though, I was letting myself start to get panicky over missing potential ov but actually we're supposed to be chilling out about it so I'm just going to leave it x

@KatBeCool I have no idea when I ovulated (or where I am in my cycle) so this could be it for me 🤷🏻‍♀️ Our bodies are weird!

@DayDreamer1707 try a FRER xx

@MrsAW2018 yes!! Lots of people don't get positives until a while after their AF was due - so you're not out until AF xx

Pretty sure it's a BFN😭😢

@KatBeCool @cupcakesandglitter it was a cheap one from Asda ha. But there's a line but it doesn't have any colour to me...

@MrsAW2018 you need to try a FRER too x

@DayDreamer1707 it's hard to tell - it could be such a faint line that you can't see the colour... FRER FRER FRER!!!! Xx

@MrsAW2018 FRERs worked for me from 13dpo - and will be very strong from the day AF is due/missed. To be completely sure you could try a CB digital - they pick up a positive from 25 HCG levels (the amount for a viable pregnancy) and you get a very clear yes or no!

@DayDreamer1707 So hard to tell! Do you have a FRER or CB digital? They are much more accurate.

@cupcakesandglitter and @MrsEG I'm going to do a FRER now and then not test over the weekend as we're going away and my period is due so if it's not come over the weekend I can test again on Monday!

@MrsAW2018 good luck!!!

@MrsEG I really think it's an evap line so not getting my hopes up. When I've had positives before they where definite BFP.

@cupcakesandglitter I finish early today so could maybe pick one up, would Asda do them?

Just done the FRER and think I've got a very faint evap😭

@DayDreamer1707 I'm not sure about Asda sorry, I get mine from boots x

@MrsAW2018 how do you know it's an evap ? Xx

@cupcakesandglitter it doesn't look like it has any colour to it. Heard it's quite common on FRER x

Trying to get a picture but the camera won't focus on my phone and I think the line is far too faint to be picked up. So now i'm in limbo a little bit. Don't know whether it's positive or an Evap and I wanted to surprise my DH with a daddy and me sleep-suit if it was clearly positive. I don't think I can do that as it will get his hopes up😔. Or it could be negative and I'm just imagining things... 😩

@MrsAW2018 Is there pink in the line? If not it’s an evap. I’ve had evaps with FRERs before. It’s positive if the line is clearly pink. Can you try again tomorrow morning?

@MrsEG I can't really tell it's so faint... there's definitely some colour to it (it's not white). Can't try again tomorrow really as going to a hotel today for a couple of nights and not sure I can take all the paraphernalia!

@MrsAW2018 mines the same, it looks more grey to me. It did come up pretty much right away. Its so cruel though. Like it's not hard enough without more confusion. Can you not just take the test with you? x

Think I will leave the testing, I'm convinced it's a BFN and an evap line. If I had symptoms or anything then I would test again. Still just got slight cramps but I think my body is still a little confused....SMEP time x

@DayDreamer1707 It is so confusing and just leads to more heartbreak... wish they'd fix it!! I'm thinking I might take one tomorrow now but then I'm thinking that I should wait until my period does/doesn't come as that's what some people recommend. So confused right now lol! 🤔 x

@MrsEG no other symptoms, other than a weird burning feeling over my left hip bone. No idea wtf that is 😂😂 I don’t think the nausea is a symptom, in the office I’ve been based in for the past week seemingly half the staff were ill so I assume I’m just coming down with something.

@MrsAW2018 @DayDreamer1707 maybe test again in a couple of days? Evaps are horrible, totally messes with your head

@MrsAW2018 click on the link below and if you scroll down there is a short article someone has wrote about evap lines etc....

Just found this ladies for anyone who gets confused and frustrated about their results on a pregnancy test. If you scroll down a little you can see how someone has wrote an article about evap lines and results.
