@Pancakes7 omg!!!! I love this - so excited for you. This thread seems to be having lots of good fortune at the moment - roll on more bfp's 🤞🏼
@Chick123xx welcome and sorry you are having a confusing time. Hopefully some more reliable tests will give u clearer news X

@ttcrainbowbaby1 sorry today was bfn ... it's still not over though so don't be disheartened. Roll on next few days X

@SLCxxx used my last test today and still a flashing smiley 😔. That's 20 strips used as I tested twice a day once flashing. I am pretty sure I have already ovulated as missed it since they use FMU and I drink so much water through the day that my other samples are no use! Going to DTD tonight and Thursday and maybe once at the weekend, then we are just going to sit tight and wait for AF. I wasn't holding out much hope for getting pregnant this month but I did want to try and make sense of my cycle, but I am just very confused now!
Remind me are you in TWW? Xx

@ttcrainbowbaby1 Fingers crossed for you tomorrow. It could just be too early yet 🤞🏻🌈

@Ra1nb0w85 Thank you! I'm trying to stay calm as it's a cheap strip and it's early. But I am really happy. A bit scared to get excited yet. Hopefully will get a positive on a clear blue tomorrow morning and feel better 🤞🏻

@ELMcg Good idea to just dtd anyway. You may have missed the peak on tests but you could have still caught. So keep positive. I got pregnant 3 times before without tracking ovulation at all.

I feel like today is going to go so slow now, waiting to test tomorrow! 🙈

Has any one had BFP lines on the strips before and then negatives ?
@Pancakes7 yay fingers Crossed for you!
I know what you mean every day feels like it's going slow I just can't wake up the next day and test xx

Thanks so much guys, I am much calmer this time – last time the adrenalin was pumping through my body 24/7 with utter shock. This time I’m happy, relieved and going to keep calm, not care about work stress etc. I won’t be joining any apps/ reading too much until I am much further along. Want to play it safe. So will shortly be offline.
As well as the positive digital test I took this morning, I took 3 other regular tests and the lines were SO faint, people must really mistake it and think they’re not pregnant. But then I’m only 12DPO and period would have been due Thurs – so very early.
Don’t let the doubt creep in during the TWW guys because I’ve really had no obvious symptoms this time, when first time I got preg there were more obvious signs (sore boobs and sweating in the night.)
@Tina8800 you are right to see a doctor who can test you and put your mind at rest. I do think the body takes some time to get back to normal after MC, especially the further along in the pregnancy you were. It’s so hard being patient though. Take your time and keep positive. X

@Pancakes7 I can see that - get that digital test done pronto – this looks like it could be it!!

@HereWeGoooo oh thank you I really hope so! Good idea to stay calm and keep off groups for now. I'm going to do the same and I'm keeping myself calm till I have a clear blue positive just in case the strips are unreliable. They have good reviews on Amazon but I think I just need to see it on a clear blue test before I can truly believe it

@ELMcg yep, on day 8, AF due 15th 🙈
When I was tracking I found I have a very short window of ovulation, got static same evening as my first flashing smiley and tested again once the static disappeared and was back to O so hopefully you did just miss it and the damn thing just keeps flashing as it’s waiting for the peak (not very well made are they really 🤷🏼‍♀️). Sounds like a solid plan and if you have been DTD since you got your flashing then Hopefully you caught 🤞🏻 Seems to be some luck floating about at the moment, praying it continues for us all x

Has anyone else used the easy@home that's and got a positive? I got them after someone on Mumsnet recommended them. I can't remember who. Worrying myself that it's a false positive 🙈

@Pancakes7 I read the reviews and they sound pretty reliable, and they are red so less likely to have evap lines I think

@SLCxxx Thanks I hope so. I start over thinking 🙈🤞🏻

@Pancakes7 completely understandable, going to be a long day for you having to wait until the morning.. but it’s looking good! Do you have any symptoms?

@SLCxxx well I've been trying to not symptom spot this month. I was feeling more relaxed about everything but thinking this definitely wasn't our month. Although I know in the past when I felt this way it has been positive whereas when I'm certain we've caught, we haven't. I have got sore boobs but I do have this sometimes before my AF. Feeling a bit tired and bloated but that's about it.

@Firevie @HereWeGoooo congratulations! So pleased for you both!
@Pancakes7 that's a good feint line 🤞🏻 for your darker line tomorrow!

@Marvellouslymadmum thanks v much! I have one more clear blue I think it might be a digital one so I will use that tmr morning again just to double confirm haha xxx

@Firevie it looks like a strong line so I'm sure it'll be good news tomorrow! Xx

@SLCxxx fingers crossed this week goes super quick for you! Yeh I am hoping I just missed it but fully expecting AF to arrive. For that reason I've decided I wouldn't test until around the 26th as that would be AF a week late and if I ovulate late I might be later anyway. So just chilling this cycle and hoping for the best next month!

@Firevie and @HereWeGoooo yay, congratulations!! I love seeing BFP's! Such good news and gives us all hope.
@Pancakes7 I can definitely see a line!! Fingers crossed for you in the morning!
Seems to be a lucky thread at the minute 😀 so exciting

Hi can I join? I've just had my 1st miscarriage. It started on Friday and I knew straight away what was happening. As soon as I'd taken the pregnancy test my symptoms disappeared and I just didn't feel pregnant at all. I've had no pain and bleeding has been minimal, is this normal? I've taken another pregnancy test since and it is negative.

@user1471465233 I'm so sorry for your loss. You'll find great support here. I've only had missed miscarriages so I can't really help I'm afraid. But maybe a good idea to see your GP to make sure everything passed.

@Seasalt1984 hi, just went back on the thread and noticed your post. Welcome and so sorry for your loss. I am similar to you just a little ahead, had a MMC and medical management in December, currently CD19 and counting ovulation as today so will soon be in the TWW.
Are you tracking ovulation?

I definitely see that line @Pancakes7 😁 excited for tomorrow for you! I use the easy @ home ones and find them reliable. I’ve attached my recent ones at 14, 16 and 18 I think, and I also used a FRER at 18 as well to confirm with another brand 😊
