Hi!

I have been TTC this month. I got a flashing smiley face on the clearblue OPKS this morning so all is looking good! I would love to talk to anyone else who is also TTC this month... I am currently driving my husband mad as it's all I can talk about. 😊

Well I caved. After that mad dream and I woke up this morning feeling like I was pregnant like I did with my son. I am still 6 days before AF but hubs and I saw a v v faint line. Not getting our hopes up just yet but will check again in a few days 🤞

Yeyyyy so exciting @LittleDoveLove ! When I got an alert I was hoping it was good news from someone! No way can you wait afew days-you'll be doing it again later today! 😂😂😂 x have you got any 'symptoms'? How many DPO are you? Xxx

QueenLagertha · 15/07/2021 09:06

Oh wow @LittleDoveLove 🥰🥰🥰 I can definitely see a line!!! So exciting. There's no way you'll wait a few days to test again 😂 how are you feeling?

I'm only 7dpo but I already think I am out. HR low on Fitbit. No strange dreams last night or any other symptoms. Had lots of symptoms by this stage with DS

LittleDoveLove · 15/07/2021 09:22

Haha I know I just feel I have to or it will cost me £40 in tests 😂😂.
Thank you both @newtolineofduty and @QueenLagertha.
It's quite hard to tell as I've had a really bad head cold and cough (not covid thankfully) but I feel a bit groggy, main things I noticed was I was feeling like I was going to come on my period all yesterday, had quite a lot o gas 🤭 and a few sharp twinges continually for a few hours on each side of my pelvis a couple of days ago on each side of my pelvis. I also have started to feel quite hot. I thought my wee looked slightly different shade the other day as in the spotting thing but I'm not sure really on that as I didn't actually see anything I would say was definitely blood. Prob not relevant but did want to mention if it helps.
I am 9 days DPO AF is due Tuesday. I used first wee of the day. X

newtolineofduty · 15/07/2021 09:30

Hehe @LittleDoveLove it might be twins if it's shown up this early! I only have on frer in so need to wait for AF day! Trying to decide though would I prefer to get a BFN before a work day or a day off! X

LittleDoveLove · 15/07/2021 09:47

Yes it's hard decision isn't it. Oh god I am not sure I could cope with twins! Haha
I also have started to get head ache just mild last night and this morning. As I've been unwell it's been hard to tell difference but definitely feel like period about to come on. I'll let you know in a few days how it's looking. 🤞🤞 for you all too xx

QueenLagertha · 15/07/2021 12:00

Fingers and toes crossed for you @LittleDoveLove keep us posted xx

MrsRosaline · 15/07/2021 20:52

I can also see a line!! Interesting you mention about a cold as I am also unwell at the moment.. 9DPO and I did a FRER this morning which was negative 🤦🏻‍♀️

newtolineofduty · 16/07/2021 09:34

10dpo and getting towards testing territory but still not tempted! I also feel like rubbish but putting it down to catching something from my daughter!

When is AF due @MrsRosaline? Will you try and stick it out or try again today? Xxx

QueenLagertha · 16/07/2021 10:36

I feel unwell too. Sore throat and feel like I’m coming down with something. DH and MIL the same so I think it’s just viral

MrsRosaline · 16/07/2021 10:53

I have no will power @newtolineofduty. I tested this morning and wish I hadn't! I used the cheap ones, which suggest a positive ... but all the other tests, including FRERs are negative. 🙄 So now I'm in a worse position because I suspect it's a false positive on the easy@home, but I don't know...

newtolineofduty · 16/07/2021 10:57

I'd be very encouraged by that @MrsRosaline! False positives are MUCH rarer than false negatives!!!! So I'd be inclined to believe the positive eek!!!! Xx

MrsRosaline · 16/07/2021 11:03

😬😬 I know. Although the reviews on Amazon do suggest a fair few false positives. Period due on Sunday...

QueenLagertha · 16/07/2021 11:10

Wow @MrsRosaline I'd be trying another FRER in the morning. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

newtolineofduty · 16/07/2021 11:22

Yes deffo another frer in the morning @MrsRosaline! There's also plenty of negative reviews about frers too so it's not all about them! X

newtolineofduty · 17/07/2021 08:01

Good luck to anyone testing this morning!!!!

I've woken up with what feels like period pains so feel like I'm out!!! X

LittleDoveLove · 17/07/2021 08:47

Good luck everyone, I'm getting worried I'm having a chemical one as my line is so so faint, fainter than the first one. I'll have to see on Tuesday. 11 days DPO today 🤞

LittleDoveLove · 17/07/2021 09:34

Yes in response to FRER I did a clear blue and a FRER again last night as well as the one below this morning (did end up doing more tests obviously 😂) FRER not even sure I could see a line, v v faint on clear blue.

newtolineofduty · 17/07/2021 11:09

@LittleDoveLove did you use first morning urine for the second FRER? x

LittleDoveLove · 17/07/2021 13:30

@newtolineofduty no I did it in the evening although I did wait a good 6-7 hours for a wee. I could just about see a line if I really looked. X

LittleDoveLove · 17/07/2021 13:32

All the lines are very faint could it be because I'm still testing before period is due? Not very good at knowing these things x

newtolineofduty · 17/07/2021 15:45

Totally @LittleDoveLove! Average implantation day is 8/9dpo so there'll barely be any hcg in your system yet! X

Raindrop25 · 17/07/2021 15:56

Sorry to jump on your post! If someone could help that would be appreciated

For context, my girlfriend and I have been trying to conceive for around two years now. We had a miscarriage 18 months ago and since then found out my girlfriend had a few health issues like a high thyroid level (which has now been sorted) but perhaps more importantly she didn't ovulate regularly. She also has PCOS.

As of March this year, she has been taking Clomid. It worked in March, but not April. But then she ovulated in June and July after the dose was upped to 100mg. This month, however, she has been getting what could be described as pregnancy symptoms.

She's due to have her period tomorrow, but six days ago she began having cramps, pain on her right side near the belly, back ache and pain at the back of her thighs, as well as a hot flushes, sickness (though just feeling queezy, no vomiting) and loss of appetite. Her boobs also feel bruised.

When she does get her period, she often gets cramps a day or two prior, so for these cramps to crop up this early and linger is definitely not normal for her.

She ovulated 12 days ago for context and we have tested a couple of times this week included an early detection one this morning which was negative.

Are we testing too early? Does anyone else here have a story similar to this?

newtolineofduty · 17/07/2021 18:22

@Raindrop25 hello there and sorry to hear about your tricky TTC journey. It might be too early depending on when implantation occurred, however if she gets a positive I wonder if it might be worth being seen by the early pregnancy unit with those symptoms you described just to rule out an ectopic pregnancy x wishing you all the best x

Raindrop25 · 17/07/2021 18:56

Thankyou for replying!

The symptoms that I have described, could that by implantation cramps? I started getting them a week before AF is due, is that when implantation usually occurs? And does it usually occur on just one side? Sorry I just keep reading different things!

Also is it possible to get pregnant with a progesterone level of 45 does anybody know?

Thanks again!
