Despite my TTC last month, it resulted in my AF arriving Christmas Day (deep joy!) it's round 2 this month! I'm due to ovulate on Monday (6th) so anyone else wanna join me, with the overthinking, being excessively paranoid, mystery pregnancy signs and taking PT's when you know you shouldn't be! 🤣🤣
Feel free to jump on the crazy train with me!

@Ginge35 it's so hard to go through this ttc journey. I've been doing it for 9 years with one ivf pregnancy ( after three attempts ) and two mc's, and I'm not saying this to make yours or anyone else's journeys seem easy, it's not. Everyone has their own journey and whether someone has to face 3,6, 12 months ttc or then need fertility treatment or IVF, the feeling is the same for everyone, it's horrible waiting to find out and wondering why it didn't happen. BUT... keep going!!! The only reason I have my son is because DH and I just kept going with treatment. Stay strong, it WILL happen xxxxx

Ginge35 · 18/01/2020 20:31

Awwww thanks @DustyDiva I couldn't go through what you went through! I admire you! Really, I do ❤️
Due to mine and DH's age, we are giving ourselves 6 months and then knocking it on the head. I don't want to put our entire lives on hold and put strain on our relationship. We have a wonderful life and if Mother Nature says no, then so be it! A bit sad and I do worry there is something wrong with me, or DH, but if nature doesn't take its course by May then it's a big fat holiday that will be booked and me and DH will continue to travel the world together!
I try and look for the positives when the negatives hit. I try to be a glass half full kinda a girl 😁

@Ginge35 I think that is a healthy way to look at it. Baby dust to you for the next few months but if it doesn't happen there are worse things than travelling this beautiful world with someone you love! X

FarmerWantsABaby · 19/01/2020 01:19

Lovely words @DustyDiva I think we all needed to hear that today! I've had my THIRD friend approach me and ask is something wrong (all three don't know each other) because apparently I haven't been myself lately. I thought I was being positive but it must be taking its toll on my mood without realising 😬🤯

Wiggleyfingers · 19/01/2020 10:50

I broke out the digital last night as a last resort and it gave me the result I had been hoping for!! Pregnant 1-2 weeks 💓 Not getting too excited yet as I'm only 11dpo and there is a lot that can happen but I'm cautiously excited!
Fingers crossed that the rest of you will follow soon!

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 10:57

Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh @Wiggleyfingers THIS IS SOOOOOOO EXCITING! Congratulations!!!
You know I did that test yesterday and I said I could see a really faint line, well I managed to get a filter on my phone so I could take a photo and send it to you all. Now I've googled Evap lines and it says it's a colourless line that appears after the urine dries, but to me this looks like a very pale blue. Any thoughts please greatly appreciated! Don't be afraid to crush my emotions! 🤪 I'm well prepared for my AF turning up. However I checked my lady bits this morning the inside skin flaps (I hate the word flaps, but I don't know the medical term 🤪) have gone a dark red/purple. SO! I googled that too and that's also an early pregnancy sign! I think I've officially lost my shit! 😝

Ready to get crazy in January!! Who's with me!

@Wiggleyfingers sooo exciting!! You must be thrilled 😁congratulations 🥰

@Ginge35 Line defo looks blue to me!!! Eeeekk......it's all looking and sounding promising for you too!!

Lovely to see some positive vibes!! No symptoms here and AF due date getting ever closer😬

Happy Sunday 💕

BecauseReasons · 19/01/2020 11:12

Congratulations @Wiggleyfingers! @Ginge35, the flaps are called labia. Maybe test again and see if the lines appear in the time frame this time?

Wiggleyfingers · 19/01/2020 12:55

@Ginge35 I would take that as a bfp! How exciting! Are you planning on testing again soon? Hopefully see you in the September birth club soon!

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 14:11

Thanks @Wiggleyfingers but it took a while for the line to show, but it is blue so I don't think it's an evap line! I have no clue 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have seen you tube videos of people taking cheap crappy tests and the BFP takes ages to turn up! Like ages after the time it should take!
I'm not going to test again until my AF is late, as if it's a chemical pregnancy then I don't want to get my hopes up by testing again.
I'm due on tomorrow but with me ovulating a couple days later than I did the month before, I may leave it until the end of the week. Give my AF a chance to show it's ugly face! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! 😬😬😬🤞🤞🤞

Wiggelyfingers were you having any symptoms? That is sooo exciting. Congratulations and fingers crossed for all going well for you.

FarmerWantsABaby · 19/01/2020 16:35

Congrats @Wiggleyfingers I'm delighted we have another BFP in the group! I'm all about positive vibes. The universe rewards good vibes 🥰
Also @Ginge35 that looks blue to me!!!!! Have you any CB digital tests? GET ONE TOMORROWWWWWW 😬😬😬
I'm feeling excited for you!!! Faaackkkkk 😅🤪

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 17:18

@FarmerWantsABaby I have CB Digital that detects how many weeks pregnant. I'm not convinced it's a BFP so I'm hanging off testing until I am actually late. I'm keeping it for that moment where I'm convinced I am pregnant. So far I'm not convinced!
I get sore boobs and cramps before AF due, but this month my boobs are like lead (they are only tiny so any change I notice immediately) I can't even touch them without them hurting!
I have really thick CM, but not a lot of it, darkened labia (got the right term this time 😁) and today I've been really angry!
I'm still not reading into any of it, as I've noticed since coming off the pill in September last year, my periods and PMS have gotten worse every month!
Positive vibes are in the air and so pleased a BFP's are starting to pop up on this thread!
The crazy train continues ladies! Baby dust to all! ❤️

@wiggleyfingers woooohooooo!! Huge congrats to you 😍😍😍
@Ginge35 that defo looks like a positive to me!!!! Amazing!!!!! X awesome to read such good news 😍

Goldie0109 · 19/01/2020 21:10

@Wiggleyfingers congratulations!!
@Ginge35 - that definitely looks like a positive to me
I'm going to see if my temp is still high tomorrow morning and POAS if so... AF was due today for me and didn't arrive.

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 21:31

Evening ladies! I'm having some major period cramps, just like I do, just before AF arrives 😭 so I think it may have been a false positive, or a bloody good evap line!
All will be revealed in the next few days! Feeling super sad but at the same time cautiously optimistic! I lost my shit with DH earlier. The poor bloke didn't know what to do with himself! I felt awful! My hormones are all over the place! 🤪🤪🤪
How's everyone else doing? ❤️

BecauseReasons · 19/01/2020 21:41

I googled for you, Ginge and Evaporation lines on pregnancy tests are generally colorless, but not always. There are some evaporation lines that do have color—either a light blue or light pink. The color, however, is very faint and not as dark as the color of the control line. The evaporation line can also sometimes appear greyish

Again, doesn't mean you're not pregnant, just that it'd been too early to test. How long until you're officially late?

Ginge35 · 19/01/2020 22:06

@BecauseReasons I'm due on tomorrow, but I ovulated a couple of days late, so it might be Wednesday. The way I'm feeling though I think it will be tomorrow.
Going to hang on until the end of the week to test, if I can hold it together that long🤪 as I'm not always bang on the exact day. It's always a day or so after! I really want this month to be THE month! Here's hoping! Eeeeekkkkkk 😬😬😬😬

OP posts:
BecauseReasons · 19/01/2020 22:16

Well, fingers crossed for you! Your symptoms do sound promising.

Geauxtigers · 19/01/2020 22:39

If my trackers were right (used clue and my garmin connect tracker) I'm 8 DPO and 6 days out from my period. I've got achy boobs which I do sometimes get as a PMS symptom but not every single cycle. But apart from some lose stool about 3 days DPO I haven't had any other symptoms so pretty sure I'm out but I know the same as everyone I'm still kind of hoping that somehow AF magically won't arrive! 🙈 I still haven't bought any PTs as I didn't want anything to tempt me to be more crazy with the overthinking than I already am!

Goldie0109 · 20/01/2020 07:09

@Ginge35 Good luck and fingers crossed for you on your second test

Woke up at 5.30am and couldn't sleep as I just had a feeling so I went to POAS and got a BFP

DH then got the strangest Monday morning wake up of his life with me shaking him and waving a pregnancy test in his face 2 hours before his alarm goes off Grin

Good luck to all on this thread! Xxx

Ginge35 · 20/01/2020 07:45

@Goldie0109 yaaaaaaaassssss!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 fabulous news! That makes 3 BFP's now! I'm so happy for you! 😁
Starting my day with positive vibes now I've read your post! How long did it take you to conceive?
My cramps have lessened and my boobs don't hurt as much today so I officially know I'm out! Just waiting for AF to rear her ugly face!
Keep the good vibes coming ladies! It is Monday after all! Baby dust! 🥰🥰🥰

Congratulations @Goldie0109 😁

Goldie0109 · 20/01/2020 10:39

Thanks @Ginge35 and thanks @ablisha 😘 It was cycle number 4 of trying for me. I had no symptoms whatsoever really except for feeling a bit more 'aware' of my boobs 😂 But I track my BBT and my temp wasn't dropping so had a feeling. Baby dust to you all and thanks for the kind words xxxx

FarmerWantsABaby · 20/01/2020 12:40

Amazing @Goldie0109 I am delighted for you!! More positivity! 💕 we all need to keep our spirits up for January/February ☺️
I'm also tracking my BBT this month. I have downloaded an app to input the data every day which is very useful!
