Well since we are at the tail end!!

@Beau2020x @quiffy @Symptomspotter86 @BFP2020 @ange211

@Mumofboys17 no I think its from the pain, they aren't normally this bad and it's just making me nauseous 🤢 maybe it's from flying through different time zones ✈️🤷‍♀️

I know right it's so weird I'll even try to help it along but nothing works haha just can't finish! Xx

Thanks everyone for all your support feel like there is a place to let all the crazy out now. Like everyone says if our partners knew what we all do every month when TTC we would all be single by now probably. I keep trying to remember what symptoms I had when I actually fell pregnant. I remember feeling tired and dizzy at times when I stood up the week before I did a test. I also remember feeling like my period was coming for a couple of days like very light cramps but I never had sore boobs. Now I have sore boobs all the time and take it as a sign. Anyway think my period is coming early as feeling cramps already even though my period isn’t due until the weekend. Not taking it as a sign as my cycles have been quite irregular. We haven’t really been trying this month with my other half being away so hoping it does come early and we can get straight to it next month. Hoping for some BFP news for this month from someone as it would give me a little hope x

Hi everyone! Sorry to gate crash your thread but I'm so confused and could really do with some advise! Last Monday I was feeling dizzy and nauseous and had sore boobs so took two tests, both came up as positive a week before my period was due! Throughout the week I was getting positives and negatives (mostly negatives!) Then on Saturday I had two, very strong clear blue positives! I was sure that i was pregnant because of those tests and also because my symptoms were getting stronger and stronger. Then Saturdag afternoon i had period type cramps for about an hour and I started to bleed, I was so disappointment! However the bleed lasted for around a day and a half and was only there when I wiped and it was more of a pink discharge rather than blood. One time during this when I wiped it was dark red blood with a few very small clots (sorry if Tmi!) But this only happened once with one wipe. I had a chemical pregnancy in September and with that one I had lots of heavy blood and lots of big clots for about a week so I was shocked when this one just stopped after a day and a half of being very light. I have just taken another test and it came up with a light positive however it was further away from the control line than usual and it also completely disappeared after about ten minutes! If I received my first positive a whole week ago shouldn't they be stronger by now?! I think I know that I'm being too hopeful but i just can't shake the feeling that I'm pregnant, the metal taste in my mouth is extremely strong now and I keep getting bouts of nauseous ness and dizziness. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I'll attach a picture of the pregnancy test that I have just taken where the line disappeared, I took another straight after which was negative but urine was very diluted! Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks Smile

Thought it was also worth saying that every now and then I do have very short/light periods so if this was AF it wouldn't be particularly unusual for me!

Quiffy · 28/01/2020 12:05

@Ellsbells112 Im hoping so! Shall see what the week brings

@Danni2019 Ooo hopefully the cramps mean something other than af!

@lunacat96 You might be better making your own thread for advice. I would say that the line looks to be where the dye pools before going up, so not actually a line. Im no expert though.

Beau2020x · 28/01/2020 12:12

@Lunacat96 You will probably be better creating a new thread for advice on this one? The line doesn't look like it's in the right place to me.

Beau2020x · 28/01/2020 12:14

@Lunacat96 just seen you have created your own thread earlier this morning - hopefully you'll get some good advice on there :)

Danni2019 · 28/01/2020 12:18

@Lunacat96 I would also agree with Quiffy don’t think the line is where it should be think it is just the dye. Line should be just under the dark line. I would use a different pregnancy test with a cross on the front or line etc could just be a supermarket one. If you had positives on the clear blue test I would say you are pregnant as you don’t get any false positives with these tests. If I was you now that there is no more bleeding take another clear blue or supermarket pregnancy test in the morning and if positive I would say pregnant and then take again in a week just to be sure. Or if you do get a positive in the morning visit your doctor for advice on bleeding etc. Fingers crossed that things turn out good for you x

Lunacat96 · 28/01/2020 12:41

Thanks for all of your replies everyone! Yes I did create my own thread this morning but got no replies Blush, I just can't stop thinking about it and so thought that I would try and post on a different thread, sorry for the intrusion! Yes I did think that as the line was way further up the test than what it usually is! I'll attach the clearblue tests that I got on Saturday morning, this was before the light bleeding! When I started to bleed I expected it to get heavier like it did with my chemical pregnancy however it never did: but now I'm testing negative which seems odd after having such a light bleed! Thanks again for getting back to me everyone! And sorry for gate crashing! X

Lunacat96 · 28/01/2020 12:42

Here's my clearblue tests from the other day!

New thread for the crazy gang part 2!
Danni2019 · 28/01/2020 13:03

@lunacat96 those are definitely positives! How late are you from when you should have had your period. Did you test in the morning although if your late you should get positives whenever. Did you drink loads before testing again or had been to the loo not long before you tested? Have you retested with a proper test rather than those paper ones? X

Danni2019 · 28/01/2020 13:09

@Lunacat96 sorry me again if I was you I would make an appointment with a doctor they will do a test for you too and advise on bleeding etc. To me with those positives on clear blue I would say you are pregnant and if it hasn’t been heavy dark red blood with lots of clots I would say stay hopeful x

Mrslane2019 · 28/01/2020 13:18

afternoon guys has anyone booked there holiday this year for later in the year i been put it off think yes this our month now i think it time to book something but the hopefully me keep what if you can’t fly or have to pay for extra little person and i now think maybe just holiday in this country just encase just wonder what everyone else thoughts are ?

Quiffy · 28/01/2020 13:34

@mrslane2019 I haven't booked any holidays myself, but I wouldn't let TTC put you off too much. Otherwise, you might get to that holiday date and be really disappointed that you didn't and you could have gone. I guess it really depends on money - could you book something like 6 months from now so it would be okay? I was hesitant to buy tickets for certain gigs as I thought I'd have a baby or be too pregnant to go, but it hasnt turned out that way and I'd be super dissapointed if I hadnt got them.

If we go on holiday it tends to be in the UK and it's been super fun so far so could be an option! But then DH is like a crap vampire and burns the moment the sun shines a little bit, so UK holidays are better for him haha.

@Lunacat96 the clear blue are positive but negative tests now is a bad sign sorry :( I'd try and hold urine for at least 4 hours before you test again and use a pink dye brand like FRER and see what happens from there.

Lunacat96 · 28/01/2020 13:47

Thanks so much for the advice @Danni2019! I didn't even think of that! When I took the test today it was straight after already going to the toilet and was about my 4th wee of the day! I was very shocked when the bleeding stopped, as I say, my chemical pregnancy was really heavy bleeding for about a week with lots of clots and period pain the whole time! I will test again in the morning and then give the doctors a call like you say! Thanks for getting back to me Smile I feel abit more at ease now!

Lunacat96 · 28/01/2020 13:50

And @quiffy yes I did think that! With my chemical in September I got to 2-3 weeks and then it just went down until I was having negatives, I would've thought that the tests would be lovely and strong by now! I think I might do a clearblue in a day or so to get the definitive "pregnant" or "not pregnant" and I will use FMU this time too! My period was due between Saturday and Monday so surely they should all be positive by now! Thanks for your help :)

Ellsbells112 · 28/01/2020 14:05

@Mrslane2019 @Quiffy yeah the whole booking holiday thing is annoying, I out off going to Amsterdam for ages but we just booked it for beginning of March it's a party weekender soooo haha but I will gladly welcome pregnancy beforehand and still go have fun just no drinking 😁 HAPPILY too loool ill be dancing like "whoop whoop I got a baby on the wayyyyy" while everyone is lagging. It's a good thing my OH isn't a big drinker if that happens lol

Quiffy · 28/01/2020 14:14

@ellsbells112 @Mrslane2019 That's exactly it! As long as you're not in labour or sleep-deprived from a newborn, you're most likely going to go on holiday and be doing the happy "I'm up the duff" dance :D Plus, if you're not successful yet you can try and have a holiday baby while enjoying cocktails and all the naughty food you're not supposed to eat

Mrslane2019 · 28/01/2020 14:16

ellsbells112 that sound like awesome holiday either way 😊

Quiffy · 28/01/2020 14:21

@mrslane2019 Cornwall sounds lovely! Always wanted to visit there and my parents went a couple of years ago and adored it. Now I want to book somewhere haha

Ellsbells112 · 28/01/2020 14:22

@Mrslane2019 @Quiffy exactlyyyy, we need something to break up the drib drab of every day life especially when Ttc!! We won't be able to do those things for a while so liiivveeee it uuuup before you're too up the duff to even WALK properly let alone think about standing on swollen feet for too long 😂 ahh I say it with love, truly. Give me the swollen feet I'll take it 😂😂 I'm finding myself praying in my head like, "look god, creator, whoever, if you want I'll be sick every day in Amsterdam just give me a baby!!" 😂😂 deadly serious!
