I don't think I have everyone tagged so please pop yourselves in xx

ok @2alreadywantanother thank you! haha ok good to know, it def does make you think you can take all these precautions and still it can go wrong. fingers crossed it'll all be ok - i'll take another test in a few days and until then i probs won't let myself get too excited..

@northerngal20 completely understandable. Keep us posted x

@northerngal20 beware of the bottom test on your pic as I got a lot of false positives on those last month. You’ve done a separate test there which is also positive so I think you’re safe.

Does anyone have any experience with the hone bargain ‘Accu news’ tests? Both the dippy and the midstream ones? Does anyone know what miu they are? eBay says 10 miu but I’m just wondering if anyone here knows any different? Xx

yep @MinnieMouse4 you're right - i'm definitely going to take a couple of different ones before i start to believe it! hmm no i've never used one of those tests i'm afraid

@northerngal20 it looks like you are safe having done a pink dye one too! I could see lines on both xx

How do I watch this thread? I'm TTC after a CP in July... Need all the support I can get!

@northerngal20 ahhhh amazing! Please don’t be so hard on yourself. You didn’t realise! To put you at ease, I conceived unknowingly on honeymoon where I was drinking daily, eating sushi and daily coffee. I was an emotional wreck as I believed I could cause damage. The baby gets all nutrient from the egg yolk until a few weeks into pregnancy so there is no sharing of blood at this stage. I had a very normal and uncomplicated pregnancy and healthy baby boy. Relax and try to enjoy this amazing time!

Wishing you all the best!

@MinnieMouse4 what’s the deal about the test that gives false positives? No way that’s awful! Which one is it? I’d be heartbroken!

Hi everyone, not posted on here for a while, lovely to see some bfps.

I was due af yesterday and my last 6 cycles since mc have started with brown cm a few days before af arrives and my cycle has been 28 days like clockwork.

Did an frer at 11dpo on Thursday that was bfn and again this morning.

Have got backache and have been kept awake with insomnia last night along with headaches like last time I was pg, but still cream cm.

Anyone got any ideas what could be causing it? I was excited until the bfn this morning as it's all symptoms I had last time 😔

Congratulations to those with their bfp's x

@MRJ86 I've had an evap/indent on FRER before but never one strong enough to photograph. That's looks like a faint positive to me.

@VP91x I am so so sorry your Gynaecologist was so bloody rude and ignorant with you. Surely he knows that PCOS is a major contributing factor to weight gain/management?!
I have a scan booked 31st Oct so will check in and let you know how it goes. I'm incredibly anxious and reading in to every little niggle or pain. I am feeling ok though, thank you for asking. Almost hoping sickness kicks in soon as it will strangely reassure me that levels are increasing and everything is as it should be...

@Bellabubble how are you feeling?

@RichmondLady1981 it’s the Tesco own brand midstream ones (non digital). I got 4 faint positives on all of them last month and then someone on here said they had the same but they were false and then a few days later AF arrived. I have since vowed never to buy that brand again and I’m trying to stick mainly to pink dyes xx

@msg92 by just commenting, u should get notifications now when people post

@VP91x @Furbsies @MRJ86 Thanks ladies, I rang the doctors this morning who were useless and said the nurse would ring me next Monday?! I'm going to book into a private clinic I think for some testing done to check my hormone levels and I would like an ultrasound really. I think it's been a chemical I can't see what else it could have been but AF is yet to appear.

@northerngal20 Congratulations!! 🌈🥰

Where’s everyone with their cycles?

Anyone testing in the next week? I’m 6DPO and AF due Monday x

@bxiiboo do you know exactly when you ovulated?

@MinnieMouse4 that’s soooo bad! I’m never going to buy one of those tests!

@northernsoul90 I think I had a chemical. My bloods came back with slightly elevated fsh but still in normal range for the follicular phase so hoping this month is better, have a scan next month to see what's causing the pain still.

@RichmondLady1981 ok thanks so much - that's super reassuring! also - your honeymoon sounds incredible!! and good luck to you with testing next week!!

@MinnieMouse4 yikes yeah that's so awful about the tesco tests! i'm not gonna buy any more of those

@Northernsoul90 i'm so sorry, that's completely rubbish. next monday . is ages away! hope you're ok.

@Furbsies :( fingers crossed for the next month for you. that's good to know it's in the normal range - and hopefully the scan will give you some answers

@RichmondLady1981 according to my app Sunday 6th- I stopped opks this month to take the stress away so I could have been later x

Hi Guys, So I did another test this morning and didn't leave it for over 10 minutes this time, so hoping this is good news? I'm just worried it could be my old pregnancy showing up? I MC 18th Sept - but I did do a pregnancy test a week later which was negative? What do you think? I'm genuinely terrified :(
Thanks in advanced.
I hope everyone is ok. @Jazper Fingers crossed it's a positive - I just feel so unsure.
@Northernsoul90 how are you today? I'd do the same and go down the private route - just to get some answers. X

Also - please ignore the AWFUL bathroom. We just moved in and need to redo EVERYTHING! X

@RichmondLady1981 not quite in the next week but Af due in 9 days

@MRJ86 I can absolutely see that! Did you track ovulation after MC? I would wait a few days and take another to see if the line is getting fainter or stronger xxx

@MRJ86 I echo what @MinnieMouse4 says... is this the early result First Response test? It's super sensitive so if you tested post mc with a less sensitive test, I suppose there is a chance that it's old hormones... that said, you did track ovulation I recall you saying?
I think all you can do is test in a couple of days. If it's a new pregnancy, the line should be darker.

Hi @Jazper & @MinnieMouse4 - I did track ovulation and we DTD on the day of a smiley but that's it....we were so busy at the time and didn't want to put too much pressure on ourselves. So I'm sure I ovulated so think it could be a new pregnancy - I just can't be sure. I'll wait a few days. Fingers crossed :) Thanks for your help and advice! I feel quite scared and lonely (!)....I don't want to tell my husband until I'm sure as we both took the miscarriage pretty hard. EEK.

Afternoon ladies, it's all gone a bit upside down and confusing while I was away for the weekend! Sending hugs to all of you who are in a confusing situation or have had bad news.

I'm on cd27 of a 34-day cycle, and other than being aware in the back of my mind that AF is due in a week, I'm not doing anything TTC-related. Going with the method of head in the sand as long as I need to! X
