Morning Ladies, I caved this morning at 8dpo and did a cheapie poundland test and I think theres another line. I really dont want to get excited rn, as much as I'd love to jump up and down I've lost 2 early on and really cant deal with the heartbreak for a 3rd time. Does anyone else think this could be a positive? Xx

@KatiePlus3 I can see a faint line! Fingers crossed for you! That is a good result at 8 days dpo. Fingers crossed for line progression for you xx

@MinnieMouse4 I did a poundland paper test too and that is completely negative :/ I'll need to read the box and see if theres a difference in levels detected. Are you going to get a FRER? Xx

@KatiePlus3 my friend told me a little trick where you turn the photo into a negative and you should be able to see the line more clearly. Have you tried that? The cheaper ones are come and go. I’ve found some to be really good and others not so much xx

@KatiePlus3 I think I will just to make sure but I know I won’t be able to relax until either AF arrives or a definitive BFN xx

@MinnieMouse4 when roughly did you ovulate? I hate being in limbo and not knowing what's going on, when I have a BFNs i rather the AF just hurry up so I can start TTC again. Do you have longer cycles? Xx

@KatiePlus3 I don’t know exactly as I stopped taking OPKs before I got a peak but I think it was within a day or 2 of 22nd Aug and last BD was 22nd. My cycles are usually 28 days but this was first since MC so I understand they can take a while to come back to normal but I had a BFN only a few days after MC so I would have thought my hormones would have regulated quite quickly. Xx

@MinnieMouse4 I feel for you. These are the combo of tests that gave me faint lines for over a week. EPU think it's a chemical but I now really wonder whether the reviews are accurate about the false positives. Either that or I had some hormone lingering from the previous MC and these ones just picked it up. FRER was stark white throughout. I know lots don't get on with pink dye, but I did with my first pregnancy so I'd definitely try one of those and hopefully you'll get your answer.

@KatiePlus3 I think I can see a faint line. Wait a day, ideally 2, and maybe take a FRER too.

Loads of luck to you both

@Pugprincess definitely push for a review. Maybe say you aren't really comfy going in to work until you've had it done - that'll get them moving! 8 weeks! Why is time flying except when you're waiting for AF or in the TWW??

@Bellabubble sorry AF arrived, I hope you are ok. Sounds like you were prepared for it. The scan sounds great. I would definitely go for it - the price you said seems good too!

xx

@MichT4 thank you. The 99p one I took was a pink dye but I’m not sure they can be trusted that much. I think I will go and get FRER. I still have one early detection CB left so I will leave that for a good few days as clearly blue dyes are messing me about at the moment xx

@MinnieMouse4 I've always had false positive on clear blue tests too, I'm going to get a FRER twin box and do 1 today and the other will save for a few days time :)
So there is still a possibility you may have ovulated really late in your new cycle since mc? Fingers are crossed for you xx

@MichT4 Thankyou! Fingers crossed it's actually positive and that it sticks. Xx

@KatiePlus3 I think I will do the same. Fingers crossed for you xx

@VP91x yes the girls are absolutely living life at the moment. Not sure how long their enthusiasm will last though 😂😂

@Dizzy201 wow amazing news, congratulations xx

@MinnieMouse4 well...I've taken a FRER and it's a BFN! Lol! So still none the wiser have you been out to get one yet? Xx

@KatiePlus3 I’m sorry that it was a BFN but it is still early days which is a good sign. When is your AF due?

I haven’t got a FRER yet but I will nip out and get one after work and take it with FMU tomorrow.

I also have a GP appointment for Monday so if there is no change by then I can mention it then xx

@MichT4 good news about your appointment 😊 that’s so soon which is really reassuring. At least you have an aim now, something in sight. Any sign of AF? Just a little tip if not. Someone told me to drink some ginger... I had that Monday. Low and behold AF started yesterday. Not sure if it’s coincidence or not but thought it might help you too 😊

@Bellabubble
Sorry to hear AF arrived. Such a horrid feeling when it arrives. That’s interesting about energy drinks. There’s so much to think about isn’t there. So hard to know what’s best. Always good to get more of an understanding about our bodies so go for it! You’ve conceived before so it can happen again. Life has it’s cruel ways of making us wait!

Is it me or does everyone’s AF seem to be coming late! ?? Cruel really as it’s getting everyone’s hopes up!!

@Dizzy201 this is amazing! And just confirms what we have all been saying about taking a step back!! Congratulations!!

@Sully84 that’s so exciting - when is AF supposed to arrive?

@VP91x when are you due? One temp drop doesn’t matter. See what happened tomorrow x

@Rb486 ooh that’s interesting about the ginger - is it just fresh ginger and hot water?! I’m due af in couple of days and don’t want it to be late so I can start TTC again in next cycle so might try this ginger tip xxx

@Rb486 yeah it is nice to have a date. And I think if the wait is long, they recommend not to try because they can't do the test if you're pregnant. So at least the timing of it should mean it won't affect anything. Not sure how I'd feel about not trying at all.
No sign of AF. I have a feeling I ovulated after the whole faint line saga, and if I did that suggests it's due this weekend, so hopefully not long to wait.
Ooh that's interesting, I love ginger too, might have to try that.

How are you doing?

@RichmondLady1981 it does seem lots of us are waiting for a very delayed AF. Just makes it worse as it's just waiting for a chance to try. Maybe our bodies know we will get straight on it so is taking its time to recover 🤔

@KatiePlus3 if you are early on an afternoon wee might not show it because of dilution. Try again in the morning

xx

@MichT4 Yh it does fly lol but I’d like it to go faster as I want to be out of the first trimester. I suppose I will always worry though.

@VP91x Leicestershire but working in Leicester city.

Risk assessment was meant to happen today but rescheduled for tomorrow, let’s see...

@Bellabubble I agree I don’t think the energy drinks are good, how many does he have, my husband was having roughly one can a day. He drinks a lot of coffee too 😩

@KatiePlus3 I would test only with morning urine at the moment as it’s so early x

@MichT4 how are you getting on? Are you still waiting for a cycle? X

@Pugprincess yeah I'm ok thanks, and yeah still waiting for first bleed post MC. You might have read before but I suspect the faint lines were from the previous pregnancy - when I took the one confirming negative it was a pink dye so maybe those few I took still caught it. I obviously don't know for sure but I got my referral out of it so I'll run with it.
I just think I ovulated just after I had the scan and negative bloods so I'm hoping that means AF is now due this weekend. If it doesn't show I'll call EPU next week as they wanted to see me again if it didn't show up

Hope you are feeling well and enjoying the pregnancy as much as you can xx

@MichT4 ah I see so not too long to wait hopefully, fingers crossed it comes naturally. I think my really early faint lines when I was like 5dpo etc were from old pregnancy still, even though I thought it was back to bfn cause I don’t see how it could show that early, I remember around 8 days it was fainter and then started appearing again and then got darker. Was confusing. Yh I’m trying to and take one day at a time. Still very wary though. X

@Firevie yeah fresh ginger and hot water 😊 yeah try it if it’s late. But hopefully if it is late, it’s late for a good reason 😊

@MichT4 yeah good it doesn’t effect anything and you don’t have to technically stop trying if that would make you feel uncomfortable. Go with what feels best for you 😊 hopefully it comes for you this weekend or not 😉 I think it would defos be good to get some answers from the drs though, will make you feel a bit more relaxed in your next pregnancy if you had some more insight! You fall super quick so hopefully they can give you some good advise and you’ll be there in no time 😊 will be worth all the ups and downs!
I’m okay thank you. Glad to be having a new month of opportunity. Going to try and relax and not track. Just DTD every other day and see what happens... that’s a lot of work though 🥵 hahah!

Is anyone looking forward to Christmas? I weirdly am and it’s all out in the shops now 😵🎄

@Rb486 thank you. I shall try that. Don’t think it’s pregnancy this month as OH and I weren’t in the same country when I ovulated although maybe I conceived immaculately... 😂😂😂😂 I shall keep you posted xxx
