Sorry if I missed anyone lol x

@Helen48 true, I am usually totally fine the first week after ovulation and then the second week I'll just turn into a crazy woman and start testing constantly 😳 I must try to be patient... How are you feeling?

@Helen48 congrats!! I'm so happy for you!!

I have my bfriends wedding this Saturday... i will be 4 days before af and i want to test just in case there is any miracle chance of anything... before i drink as if there was no tomorrow 😂

Does anyone recommend which test to use? I will be 9-10 dpo?

I know it's a bit ridiculous but i want to give it a go. 🙈
Xx

Me and hubby have officially been ttc for 1 year and I can honestly say it has been one of the hardest years of my entire life 🙃 so devistating so heartbreaking and oh my goodness the depression! Sorry for the rant ladies 😂

Btw Congratulations on your bfp Helen!

@ArjaD I’m okay but a bit stressed as the doctor who put me on antibiotics for my UTI today decided they weren’t safe and told me to stop! Other than that I’m very out of breathe which is due to increased blood flow.
@Sungirl11 I recommend first response early result (don’t confuse it with first response rapid result). For both my pregnancies it always gave me the earliest result compared to other tests, but for me I think 9-10 dpo would have been a couple of days too early.
@NicoleR14 sorry you are having a rough time. There is so much pressure on women and we put pressure on ourselves. I have a friend who was trying for over a year for her first and they were just starting at the fertility clinic when it happened naturally. Your time will come!

@Sungirl11 I thing frer is still best. Avoid blue dye ones and Sainsbury's or Co-op's own brands, false positive crap etc 🙄🙄
@NicoleR14 same here, one year for us this month, but of course we did have the mmc at 14 weeks 😔 what a rollercoaster huh.
@Helen48 oh no! I tend to drink cranberry and pineapple juice for a UTI, but obv depends on the severity.

Hi ladies!
How are you all?

I had a CB early but it was BFN, not sure if it was 9dpo or earlier so not surprised! Drank the whole free bar hahahah

Af is due tomorrow according to one app, i've had full af symptoms (sore breasts, tum pain, bloated and suuper tired..) i had one mild bleed when i went to the loo yesterday, a wee bit of brown discharge when wipe and another mild bleed today when went to loo... very very mild brown discharge every now/then... i fell af is there all the time but not yet when i check 😂

Yesterday i thought it could have been implantation but today i have no hope haha it's weird but looks like begging of af totally.

So another month out for me...
GP said hubs has to repeat his sperm test, apparently when results are bad they need to repeat to be sure it was not a faulty sample. 🤦🏻‍♀️ just taking ages and ages and ages!!

Aw well... xx

@Sungirl11 aw man! Well at least you can have booze! I'm 6dpo today. Trying my best to wait to test till 10dpo but I'm dying to poas!!!!

Hi ladies, hope your all ok?
@Sungirl11 so sorry to hear about hubby, I hope the test was just invalid though.
@ArjaD I hope this is your month when is af due?
@NicoleR14 hope your ok are you in your tww?

I've been driving myself crazy today, although we've stopped properly trying I've just felt pregnant so I did a cheap test yesterday and thought I could see a faint line and did frer this morning and nothing so I think I'm just getting myself at it but you know how that is the crazy takes over! Anyway please tell me I'm not the only one who spends a ridiculous amount of time staring at the test in different lights, phone torch behind it and everything 🤦‍♀️ it's so consuming once you start testing, I know I should stop but I can't aaaarrrgh! Xxx

Oh and I must add...how annoying is that stupid shiny reflective window on the frer!
I have the day off work I should really find something productive to do...🤣

Hi ladies af came on Monday and should be finishing soon but we have just got a new puppy so we have had our hands full so I haven't had time to think about the tww thank god but here's to another month another round of pre seed and another 6 months before we see a doctor let's do this I suppose I'm literally at that point where I'm catching quiet bad depression so if I don't make jokes about it I won't be able to cope with it😂 🥂🍹! Hows everyone else doing?

Hi ladies!
I'm so glad to hear about you all!!

Af came yesterday fully for me! Just in time for our drive back home (Spain-Uk) haha

Aww @NicoleR14 a puppy!! They are gorgeous but get ready to have a proper baby forever!! I don't think i have ever suffered as much as i do with mine 🙈 Lab is still sick and we are a bit in limbo... waiting for Thyroid tests to come back as it all points to that! My old baby!

@dizzy85 i have never been a crazy tester, but because i feel it's just impossible to get pregnant naturally and i loose hope before i even have the chance to test 😂

It's such a hard journey 😞
I feel the more you want it in heart the hardest it is to achieve...
xx

Hi all! I'm 8dpo atm, stupidly did a test this morning and got a vv faint line. Now I'm worried it's another faulty test/chemical, whatever happened last month 🙄

Oh and @dizzy85 you're not alone I can sit and stare at these things forever with a torch etc too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ArjaD I can see a shadowy line - I think the key thing is that it needs to be coloured! I think 8dpo is way too early to get a positive - I suggest waiting another 2 days!!

@Helen48 you're right, I just turn into a crazy woman in week two of the tww 😳 let's hope I get a believable bfp in a few days. How are you doing? X

@ArjaD I’m okay thanks, a few weird pains here and there and also already have a bump (it’s my second so no tummy muscle control!) but I think it must be bloating! Fingers crossed for you, keep us updated x

Morning all,
Well I just did a frer and there is definitely a faint line, I knew i wasn't going completely mad. I'm gonna do another one later as I went to bed late and got up at 5 and I drink loads of water before bed so I'm hoping it might look darker. Anyway I also had some light spotting when I wipe, which I do every month at this time pregnant or not, but it always makes me worry that this could be contributing to why the 4 times before have been unsuccessful..but once again I must start off hopeful and just keep everything crossed that this is the one that sticks🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😬

@NicoleR14 a puppy sounds like the perfect distraction. You definitely have to have a thick skin and a good sense of humour to get through all this it's the only way, we've been trying for over 2&a half years and if I don't laugh I'd be a complete mess.
@ArjaD 😂 I'm glad it's not just me with the torch! I can definitely see that pinky shadow 🤞🏻 will you test again today? When is af due?
@Sungirl11 ahh I'm sorry your af came hope your ok xxx

@dizzy85 awww congrats!!! Fingers crossed this is it for you now, sticky bean!!
I got a bfn this morning so kicking myself for testing yesterday. Also these Co-op tests seem not very reliable at all!! But only 9dpo today so trying not to give up. Got cramping since yesterday though so I'm thinking af may come early again 😔

@ArjaD Thankyou, although its such a squinter of line that I can't really get excited yet. I'm sorry for your bfn I really thought I could see a line on yours yesterday, was it the same tests? Maybe try a different one next. It's weird because I got a very very faint line a few days ago on a Poundland strip and then a negative frer yesterday and then this squinter today. So I don't think your out and we are both early so hopefully this could be it for both of us. My af isn't due til Wednesday. I forgot how stressful this is. I'm out of tests now so I'm gonna have to go stock up. Have you felt anything?

@dizzy85 yeah these are unfortunately the same tests that gave me a false positive last month too. Was all I still had in the house... Defo won't be buying them again ever! I have ordered some frer so fingers crossed. I feel bloated and sooooo hungry. And (tmi) lots more cm than usual. But I have to say, since the mmc nothing has felt the same anymore so who still knows what's going on. Just would so love for us to share this adventure in a positive way! Hope you get a sticky one this time!

@ArjaD I will keep everything crossed for you. I got some more frers today so will see what tomorrow brings. I really do hope it's a positive month for us both. I am def bloated too and tired I had the longest nap today. I also randomly went and brought 6 little pots of jelly earlier which I never eat just really felt a strong urge to eat jelly🤣🤷‍♀️

@dizzy85 hahaha jelly!! Not the worst thing to crave when you're pregnant, I craved strawberries with my first, that's why I hardly put on weight with him 🤣🤣🤣 took a frer this morning, I only got a VVV faint evap line on it, did it to me last month too. 10dpo today and feeling very crampy so I think af is coming 😔

@ArjaD well it appears I must of either picked up something very early that's now no longer or dodgy tests😭 coz nothing this morning. I feel pretty crappy now. I definitely think af is gonna show up too, I hope that's not the case for you, but I feel so crampy and had some more spotting. I'm getting so fed up with it all. Also do you ever get headaches before your af? You never used to but the last 3 months I have started having bad headaches that last days leading up to af and now I'm stressing out that what if it's early menopause or something 😭 hopefully not but why the sudden change. Anyway I'm still hopeful for you got everything crossed 🤞🏻 xxx

Hi ladies!!
@dizzy85 i used to get very bad migraines when af was due... they have stopped for some time now.

Have you considered getting the Antimullerian blood test done? That will give you an idea of how much time you have left... and maybe could push the GP if it came back low.
I had it done and i am still ok and got time (it measures a hormone that balances with the ovarian reserve you have).

Since i know hubs sperm is not good but i a completely ok i am much more relaxed... i know there is a problem so i don't stress every month and i am ok because the "oven" which is important is ok.

Have you had any tests done at all??

@dizzy85 aw what is it with false positives these days huh 😔 I don't tend to get headaches unless I'm stressed, which tbh is quite a lot these days anyway 🙄 I have been having cramps for the last six days and keep feeling like af has started but nothing yet. She's not due for another four days though, and I reckon it may start early again this month. Taking it hard as hubby is about to ship out for five months or so, it's devastating 😔
