@Libbyvmama @LT103 @MrsF18

I made us a new thread to continue with the crazy TTC weirdness discussion.

AND @Sdoo4 Congrats again on your BFP!

How are you all doing?

Anyone else welcome to join ofc!

@Mrschips07 I’ve tried and concluded that either I’m rubbish at it or it’s not very good. Mine always seems to be high other than actually during af??

@LT103 that's what I always find. Mine is currently super low however, like the lowest I've ever noticed. I almost feel like I'm about to get AF which is crazy because the witch just left!

It's probably best I stop checking it 😂

Morning ladies,

I took a CB test this morning as still no AF (Not common for me to be late) and I THINK I saw a super faint line.

Has anyone ever checked if you can see a super faint line prior to testing and I wondering if it's just the outline of the line ready does that make sense?

This is my first ever test!

@beckyBP can you attach a picture?

@MrsF18 I didn't take one! Should have shouldn't i. I'll try and get one in a sec although don't they say to disregard after a certain amount of time?

@beckyBP I think they do in the case that they’re negative? I’m not 100% sure! But a faint line is positive test, although we’ve seen some faint lines on some tests on another thread and then af arrived! What kinda test is it?

@beckyBP clearblue are not generally regarded as very reliable tests and are prone to evap type lines, more so than pink dye tests anyway. Though obviously plenty of people do get accurate results on them too.

Post a picture if you can!

@beckyBP sorry just read it was CB!

@beckyBP just read that it's your first ever test! Was it an early detection CB or just a regular one?

At this early stage you'll need very sensitive tests if you can get them - the one step cheapies are good, or first response early response tests (frer) but those are expensive. If you look on eBay / Amazon you should be able to get a bunch of red dye tests fairly cheap.

I hope that doesn't come across as condescending! I didn't know any of this to start with and was testing with non sensitive tests that never would have shown positive at an early stage.

@MrsF18 @Mrschips07 thank you both! No not condescending at all! I thought clear blue was the best 😂 shows how new to this I am!

I think it's a regular one. It was a three pack two of the line ones and one of the 'pregnant / not pregnant' ones.

Typically, despite being two days late (which I never am) I think I can feel AF finally coming 😫 if not I'll get someone the tests you've recommended. Thank you!! X

Ooh @beckyBP sounds promising ! Are you feeling sick still? Xx

Also did you use first wee of the day @beckyBP ? That will be the best wee to pick up any pregnancy hormones.

Not out til AF is officially here. 🤞 For you

Anyone else grumpy as fuck? I’m 7dpo I think and have the absolute rage for no reason! Is that a symptom 😂

@Sexnotgender insanely grumpy too!

Boobs hurt like mad

Cramps still

V horny !

On and off nausea

Could be pmt I guess !

Oh god I’m not horny, I don’t want touched at all.

@Emmie12345 Ooh thats how I felt before my first pregnancy, I remember being horny but my boobs were so painful my DH wasn't allowed near me, it was so frustrating

Not grumpy, but I have been quite tearful. I cried at queer eye last night.

@Libbyvmama Any news? Hope you're well chick.

Hey fallow early testers hope your all well and resisting massively early poas. Good luck to those who have got a faint positive, fingers crossed they get stronger.

I did an ic this morning (7dpo ffs) and big surprise a BFN, gah, why do I do it to myself?!?

I have no symptoms at all, curvix is high and soft. AF due on the 1st, I'm not expecting a bfp this cycle.

You’re at exactly the same stage as me. I did a FRER this morning and it was negative obviously 😂

Yay, cycle buddy! @sexnotgender!

How are you finding the tww?
How many cycles have you been ttc?

@Mrschips07 🤪

I might do a supermarket cheapy later

The chances of me being so are incredibly small but will test I think

@3andout hello! its so funny how we're all the same, testing ridiculously early but can't help ourselves. You just never know do you!? At least with IC's you can afford to, I like having a stash so I can test every day

Are you getting any symptoms?

Think I'm roughly 4/5 DPO today, my app is telling me I haven't ovulated yet but I'm pretty certain I did on Tues so I'm gonna go with that.

@Mrschips07 lol, it's the only reason I get them. It's like a full addiction, I wake up every morning and I'm like 'do not test, you know it's too early and will be a bfn' and before I know it I'm sitting on the loo starting at a ic waiting for it to clear 😂.

Nah, no symptoms outside of what could be pms, had a fair amount of cramps and bloating from about 3dpo, but that could just be ovulating symptoms... Today nada, apart from a little diarrhea (tmi) this morning.

What about you?

@3andout

Yay, cycle buddy! *@sexnotgender*!

TWW is torture 😂 I’m such a calm rational person normally! This is my first real cycle. Came off the mini pill at the start of June.

What cycle day is everyone ?

I am cd26

Not sure when ovulated as don’t do strips (too frustrating as me and dp are apart a lot !) but my app says cd13, which he was here all the time the week preceding 🤪
