How are you doing OP? Did you test today?

LochNessMumster87 · 21/09/2019 16:07

I really don't think anyone needs to start getting angry and swearing about things that don't concern them. I've already said I don't know what's going on..... And I won't know until I speak to my doctor. I'm not saying I'm pregnant and I'm not saying I'm not. And anyone who's commented with positive thoughts is just trying to help, posting with a bad attitude basically telling someone they're stupid for believing multiple pregnancy tests over one frer over a week ago isn't exactly doing anything but making you look cruel and unnecessary. People come on here for support and advice and help. Cheap pregnancy tests work the same as expensive ones they just don't charge insane amounts of money for them, which is why so many women buy bulk and test every day because if they bought a damn frer every day they would need to be rich to support the habit. If you want to say horrible things go somewhere else. There's no need especially when people on this board are more than likely confused, scared and desperate to get pregnant. And anyone with pcos who goes month after month of negative tests would know how heartbreaking and depressing it is, so do me and everyone else a favour and keep your stupid bitch opinions to yourself around people trying for a baby, they're not stupid and they most certainly are not idiots for believing a test just because it's not a stupid overpriced piece of plastic that has shitty reviews anyway!

Yes girl!!!!!

@LochNessMumster87
Well said, people should only join a thread to be supportive. Those comments were entirely uncalled for.

Xx

LochNessMumster87 · 21/09/2019 17:44

Thank you ladies. Really not in the mood for bitchiness today. I've got a headache, sore back and my boobs are killing me. Not being called an idiot Angry

LochNessMumster87 · 21/09/2019 18:05

Oh and when I was in the shower last night I noticed that on my boobs and up my chest I have big blue veins, and I never had blue veins across my boobs before and into the middle of my nipples. So excuse me for thinking something is clearly going on. And like I said... I don't know what, but I'll be telling the doctor everything I've been feeling and noticing and show him all of my pictures with lines and get his opinion, hopefully without being made to feel like a clueless imbecile

taytosandwich · 21/09/2019 19:17

Op I didn't call you an idiot or any of the things you said. You've called me a stupid bitch though and then went on to call me cruel Confused. I know what it's like to TTC, I know what it's like to be scared and worried, I've had 4 miscarriages. Giving you false hope isn't being supportive or nice. Your over the top outburst rather proves my point about emotional health and the stress of all this testing. As for the person saying no one should comment unless they're in agreement - maybe you'd be more at home on netmums.

Hardheadedwoman39 · 21/09/2019 19:50

@taytosandwich
You used the word incredulous which is not complimentary.

I did not say in agreement, I said supportive.

Your tone is not appropriate.

LochNessMumster87 · 21/09/2019 20:10

Your the only one that doesn't seem to have a problem with the way you spoke. Everyone else has agreed with me. There was no need. Now your backtracking and saying I'm the one doing something wrong? All I have done on this thread is post my pictures of tests and up until the point you had your little rant and swearing and saying I'm not listening to people and basically saying the frer was negative so the 10 other tests are wrong. Well yes maybe they are wrong, maybe they're all Evaps, maybe it's the universe playing a cruel joke but we have been trying for 4 years and this is the first time I have had any kind of pink line, and on multiple tests! And your post was bang out of order and to be honest pretty offensive. So if you want to be bitch to people trying to conceive and clinging onto hope then please go do it to someone else because this isn't what I came here for. I came here for advice. That was not advice. That was saying if I believe cheap tests then I'm stupid. Plain and simple.

@taytosandwich nobody is giving her false hope. Pregnancy tests are all the same checking for the same hormone. Fancy kicking a girl when she's already down. Shame on you.

toteswingingit · 21/09/2019 21:06

I think we can all agree that TTC can be a stressful time.

Not flaming anyone here but I think @taytosandwich was just trying to help in a 'hope for the best but prepare for the worst' kind of way.

Not denying that the tests are pink, but by this time you'd expect a much darker and more obvious line without having to search and squint for it.

Explain all to the dr on Monday who will likely send you for bloods and you'll get your answer.

momtoj · 21/09/2019 21:18

I can see @taytosandwich point. It is heartbreaking staring at a faint test willing it darken; I have been there with a failed IVF and it was horrible. All my family were like ‘it’s not viable’ but It took me a few more days to realise it wasn’t to be: so I do think tayto is trying to be kind because after several weeks, it really would be getting darker, you wouldn’t have to open it up and it would show on other brands.

However, I know it takes time to get your head around whatever others say as it did me. I don’t think it’s particularly kind for others to give you false hope; even if they mean well and I’m grateful my family were able to be honest with me so it didn’t drag on and I could start to grieve.

MyFartWillGoOn · 21/09/2019 21:26

The emotion in the last few posts just shows how heartbreaking ttc is. And I think everyone in the conception forum has struggled in some way.

I also agree @taytosandwich has had a pretty hard time here. Yes she was blunt but didn't accuse anyone of being silly or stupid, merely pointed out (as I did v early on in the thread) that the cheaper tests are a bit pants. And the very next post apologised for harshness but explained she didn't want to give Op false hope. All very reasonable points

OP, I've had chemicals, mc and spent s long time ttc and know how heartbreaking it is. No one is willing this to negative-everyone is willing a positive outcome. What taytosandwich is saying is 'expect the worst but hope for the best'. Truly, I can't see a line in the latest and the frer being negative would also make me put the brakes on. But you're doing the right thing seeing the GP to get to the bottom of it once and for all

Good luck Thanks

taytosandwich · 21/09/2019 21:38

@sredwards you are one of the people giving false hope.

@Hardheadedwoman39 report my post to MN if you think it's inappropriate.

@LochNessMumster87 I don't think you're stupid and I haven't alluded to that at all. I'm sorry that I upset you - it is upsetting to hear but it is necessary to hear and I know that because I have been in your shoes. When the GP rang with my blood test results to say I wasn't pregnant I was so devastated I couldn't get out of bed for two days. I wished I had been prepared for that possibility. I hope that isn't the situation you will find yourself obviously.

Thanks to the posters who have seen the point I was trying to make, I appreciate your comments. I'll leave the thread now as I don't want to continue to upset OP by posting Thanks

AloneLonelyLoner · 22/09/2019 07:39

I saw nothing nasty at all in @taytosandwich post. She was perfectly reasonable.

False hope is cruel,
the emotional outbursts in response demonstrate how emotionally wrought this all is. OP is keeping positive based on people's badly placed kindness. I get it, but I'd hate to be doing the same thing. I'd rather there was honesty.

Like my previous post, that many tests can't be wrong. And of course OP is probably pregnant. You feel pregnant because you are (probably) but also this pregnancy isn't viable. The sooner it is sorted out the sooner you can get back to trying again. I'm so sorry.

People need to stop haranguing @taytosandwich for being honest. She was being helpful and this is the sort of friend we could all do with. I've had 6 miscarriages and we all need a friend like that.

AloneLonelyLoner · 22/09/2019 07:40

Apologies for all the bold. Stupid phone!

sredwards · 22/09/2019 14:13

@taytosandwich no I'm not. Don't tell me I'm giving anybody false hope I told OP that it took me 3 weeks to get my strong positive with my son. Nothing false about that. You're clearly upsetting @LochNessMumster87 so why don't you take your negative bull sh*t attitude elsewhere. What will be will be.

LochNessMumster87 · 22/09/2019 16:28

Well said @sredwards Smile

Roozy123 · 22/09/2019 19:54

How are you feeling op?
Just read through the whole thread and I personally can see faint lines on the tests.

Have you done any more today or planning to tomorrow? X

LochNessMumster87 · 22/09/2019 20:30

I've decided to stop testing and just try and relax for now Smile I still feel like somethings going on, I've felt so sick and had a sore stomach all day and my back is so sore lol alot of twinges in my lower abdomen and a sort of crampy feeling if I move too quick. I'm just trying to stay positive and hope for the best. I've prepared myself for either outcome. I'll update as soon as I have some news Smile xxx

LochNessMumster87 · 23/09/2019 09:44

My appointment isn't until 4 and I've been doing alot of reading online. Someone said a ovulation test can sometimes be positive if your pregnant. And I've got a million of them from when I was on clomid... So I done one. And I'd say that's a positive. Darker positive on an opk I've ever had. The mystery continues Hmm

When was your last AF OP?

LochNessMumster87 · 23/09/2019 10:27

About 6 months ago. Because I have pcos, that's normal for me. My gyno said I could ovulate at anytime so just do a hpt now and again just incase I've ovulated on my own. So when I started feeling crappy that's when I tested. So if I was pregnant I wouldn't even know how far on I was. I could be weeks and not even know it. But this morning when I done that ovulation test straight away it was like that and I was actually in shock. I've never seen that before. A couple of times on clomid when I caught ovulation the test would be faint and then get darker over a few minutes. But this was like as the dye ran across it, it was so dark. It's darker than the control line! So strange

ameliathomas84 · 23/09/2019 10:28

Best rule to live by when comes to preg tests is if you need to ask take it as negative or too early to show positive, I know it's so so annoying waiting and so tempting but if it's positive you will know it and it's also invalid if took apart x
