[M4v3r1ck]

New thread ladies!!! 😍😍😍

I can't see any of the old messages to properly comment and tag people - aaargh!!

But here's to lots of healthy, happy, sticky BFPs in this thread!!! 😘😘😘🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I'm so glad I've found this thread and everyone seems so nice. It's such a good outlet for lots of questions and worries that my bf probably doesn't want to hear day in day out! :)
I'm over analysing every twinge, tiny bit of feeling sick and have googled everything under the sun re symptoms and cycles and I'm only 4DPO on month 1 of ttc. how you guys are still sane, I have no idea!

@Gummybear17
The easy@home tests are now advertised on amazon at 20 miu and I thought they were more senstive than that!! Xx

@Missmcmonkeymcbean hahah who says we are sane??? Lollll
But I'm just like you and sometimes I need to stop myself overanalyzing. My body starts imagining things after a while 😂😂😂

I'm over analysing too 🙈 3 dpo and I swear my boobs hurt more than normal. Probably just thinking about them too much 😂 Roll on the next few days ...

@M4v3r1ck @Sleeeeeepy awww I'm so happy to have cycle buddies!!! Have you ladies tested yet?? My ovulation happened early so I'm 10/11dpo

@Flossyvossy hahaha! I swear that was me this mo the...they always hurt but this month they seem to hurt from every angle!!! Like the other day I had a crazy pain from the top, I never had that before... So of course my mind is like.... Pregnant!!! Ugh, if only that was so easy to tell

That's weird @MgW1 i just had a look at mine and they say 10 mlU ! Maybe they have changed them?

@Yumcoffee
Its says' can detect from as little as' 10miu but I dont think they are so sensitive , im 10 dpo and bfn but if I look at the test long enough i start seeing things!!! Oh TWW is shit! How are you doing? Any symptoms?

Good luck Tww'ers!! Anyone else find multi bits for conception really alleviate PMS and period pain generally? Must be the b vitamins!!!?

@MgW1 upload a pic we'll have a look for you! My main symptom is anxiety and frequent knicker checking at the mo 🙄

@Henslovetoscratch yes big fan of the b vits! I need to change my vitamins now because i read on NHS site i shouldnt be having too much vit A now! Can i find any multi vits without vit A? Can I f* 🤣

@Yumcoffee oh how you getting on? And glad my multi bits didn't confuse you, I should proofread my messages I think a bit more 🤣

😂 it's because im always writing about vits in my notes app so i know that autocorrect by heart ! x

hi all just started my own thread so hope you don't mind me joining,
39 ttc4, but first with OH.
been trying naturally for over 9 years, diagnosed last year with grave disease/ over active thyroid and starting to think this is the reason for my unexplained secondary infertility, as no other known problems have been found.

@got2be hi !!! Welcome!!! I am so sorry to hear about your condition. While I know about the condition, I am not aware if this affects fertility. Has your doctor mentioned that it might? Xx

Girls I feel like such a loser... I took this photo with my professional camera, then transfered it to my phone and editted the shhhht out of it. I know I'm seeing something but my phone is not seeing it. I'll post a picture from the phone and one I edited where you do see a line. Am I crazy???? Is this positive or what the hell am I seeing 😟

hi @VixFromThe6ix
never been mentioned. GP/ENDO/ GYNE have only mentioned thyroid levels, which are now normal. I had no clue either until i did some research and then did bloods for thyroid antibodies x

@got2be yep I know they test for thyroid levels. Hmm, well I would think that if they are normal, you should keep trying. Since I'm over 35 I only waited 6mos after not being able to carry a pregnancy before going to fertility clinic for a consultation. I think if you're having concerns, instead of googling things that will make you feel horrible, call your gyno and ask them about what's concerning you so you have a calm mind. There is nothing worse than not knowing,assuming and trying to research on your own, it takes you to some dark places mentally.

@VixFromThe6ix
definitely see a line. fingers crossed x

@VixFromThe6ix
thanks for the advice, going private is my next step. I didn't think there was a problem at first, and then getting to this point has been a struggle as its secondary. then recently got told there is nothing more they can do NHS.
i'm thinking its implantation issues as last year i got to 5.5 weeks so i can conceive.

but looking for a clinic as we speak x

@got2be goodluck in your journey!! I wish you all the bet and getting to the bottom if there is no issue.
Getting pregnant is a good sign even if it didn't last.
I have hope everything will turn out just fine.

thanks @VixFromThe6ix hope you get your BFP too. sending positive vibes

@VixFromThe6ix oooh that's exciting... how did you even edit that?! Fingers crossed for a clear line tomorrow

@MgW1 best of luck tomorrow. Fwiw I've read loads of reviews about the easy@home pregnancy tests that say they're totally rubbish (obvs only read them after buying 40 🙈)

@ttcat39 how are you going today, any spotting yet?

@gummybear17 fab lines, congratulations!

@Noodella18
Ah!!!! Well iv given in and ordered a FRER to use fri ( 12dpo) im going away for the weekend and could do to know If i can have some wine or not. I will try another e@home tomorrow. Have you tried yours yet?

hey all.
Hoping the two with positive tests stay that way 👍
@VixFromThe6ix you're cracking me up. I'm 35 TTC #1 trying for 11months.

What apps are people using I think mine's called Period Tracker
