This morning (1 day before AF due) I did a Clearblue digital which said Not Pregnant and this eBay cheapie. I can see a faint line. Anyone else agree?

😂😂😂 most men can't see things like how we see them lol. When I pointed it out to him he said "omg how did I not notice that" 😂😂

How many dpo are you?

Bless em! 😂😂😂

I’m 12dpo I think, possibly 11-13, haven’t used opks yet this time around, found them quite stressful with my daughter so was going to start next month (cycle 8 trying). How about you?

Can I ask whether anyone else can see the line? I’m about 14 dpo and now have slight spotting which is worrying me 😭 really want this to be the one.

@Srh87 defiantly can see a line! Sorry to hear about the spotting, must be scary. Is there much when you wipe? Guess it could be implantation? Or I had some spotting early days with my 1st pregnancy after sex, which is quite common. Could you call you doc for peace of mind?

@mrslewis2015 there’s not a lot when I wipe but it’s there and it’s making me panic slightly this line has come after a recent miscarriage and I don’t think I can go through another, hoping this is the one, this will be my first pregnancy if all goes well so I’m new to all of this 🙊 but I’m glad I’m not the only one to see a line! I’ll be speaking to the doc tomorrow hopefully.

@Srh87 oh what a worry, sorry your going through it. Got everything crossed that everything is explainable and you can relax and enjoy the next steps! Really hope the doc can reassure you!

@Srh87so sorry too to hear of your recent loss, I can’t even imagine xxx

@mrslewis2015 I feel like I’m overthinking because of my last couple experiences I’ve lost two and I don’t think I can bear to go through another 😭 thank you ❤️ It’s the worst thing possible, and then you get scared to even be slightly happy which is why I’m so worried with this one.

@Srh87 of course you are, grief is a long and difficult thing to live with, there’s no right or easy way to do it. You just have to survive for now and cherish those small moments of joy that will come with time. Be kind to yourself, you’ve been through a lot and it’s completely normal to overthink and panic, deep breaths and keep talking when you can xx

@mrslewis2015 thank you your words have made me feel like there’s hope, it really consumes you and then you feel obsessive when testing but I want this to be the one and I’m trying to stay as positive as I can, but again thank you for understanding and I will try and see the joy I. The small things ❤️

@Srh87 xxxx I’m glad they can bring you a little comfort. It is so intense and emotional hoping for a family, especially after loss im sure, the hormones are crazy and it’s all a bit much isn’t it! I feel like I should be ‘coping better’ but I’m not, I find it all consuming and stressful. (I’m so u productive at work in the 2ww!!) But talking about it has helped and I’ve been taking a long walk on the top of hills to see the sea and feel the wind push back on me (were in Cornwall) and that’s been helping a lot. Just got to find little ways of coping and hopefully enjoying some bits too!

Honestly it’s nice to speak to someone who understands how it feels, I somehow feel like I’m drowning and no way back but then think of the positives and how much I want this and that I’ll never give up, I also felt like there’s this pressure to be “normal” and coping better which I wasn’t, and I know that and I completely agree taking walks to clear your head really helps, at the moment my happy place seems to be the beach (live near Redcar) so going there and just forgetting everything and enjoying the quiet is perfect, thank you once again for your kind words ❤️

Oh I totally agree, it’s the loneliest and trickiest thing, I’m glad places like this are here so we can at least we know we aren’t the only one panicking and over thing everything and having hormones making us act like crazy people. But trust me, when I was expecting my little girl I felt like the only one, went to a pregnancy yoga thing and it turns out all of us were the same when hoping for a family to come along. It’s just one of those things that means so much but is so private and personal that we don’t share as much as we would need! No matter what, I hope there’s a day soon in your future when you will think ‘it was hard but worth it’!
