[JaneGnR88]

Hi all,

I wanted to start a thread where people can come to brain dump about feelings, symptoms and anything really. I’m struggling with TTC, pcos and a lot of emotions this month and find it useful to just hear what others are going though!

I also thought a thread for people like me who can’t help but test to share photos and experiences 😌

My most recent tests attached, could be anything from 18-5 DPO 🤦‍♀️ Neither are with FMU.

Current symptoms, EXTREMELY bloated, twinges in hips and sides and knackered - none of these are massively unusual for me…

I had a very small and slightly colored discharge... This usually happens when period is close. Did not happened when pregnant. :(

Hope you’re okay @Ana12345 This might not be a bad thing, I got it when I was pregnant a few days before I got my BFP so 🤞 X

@JaneGnR88 thanks for the good wishes and for opening this topic. It's really good to have someone to talk who fully understands your emotions. 🤗🤗

@JaneGnR88 yeah from what I could gather but I did not actually see her do it as she went out back.
I got a faint positive on the cheapie tests that you can get from Amazon but it was a very very faint line.
I have some more tests that I brought today. I am going to try and hold out until Friday and test again then but might take one tomorrow when I wake up. I will see I guess.

Got what I think is a very convincing indent this morning on a boots strip test, apologies for the bath picture but I don't have much time in the mornings😂

You are welcome @Ana12345 hope you’re okay this morning?

@Gillseybear makes sense, see if you can hold
off but trying a sensitive test sounds like a good idea, let us know how you get on! How do you feel?

@mamazac I can see something, very very faint thought and I’m not used to those tests, could be an evap? Jealous of your bubble bath! 😅

My bloating has gone down a bit this morning, thank god, it was so painful! Just done a couple of cheapies and as always can see something…don’t want to waste a frer so holding off! Piccie attached of the 2 from today ✨

@JaneGnR88 yeah that's exactly what mine looks like I just couldn't get a good enough picture! I'm thinking mines an indent as there's not much colour to it but yours look a lot more promising!

Yeah I can see something forming there

I should get some different cheapies cos I don’t trust those, I feel like it pools and then when it dries it’s much harder to see!

Thanks both 🤞🤞🤞 I started this year after having my chemical in December thinking ‘it’s okay all be pregnant by the end of the year’ and it’s September now and nothing but a PCOS diagnosis 🤦‍♀️

@JaneGnR88 I am not feeling the greatest this morning. I did another test and it was negative. Not sure why I bothered testing to be honest.
I still feel all the symptoms and just do not feel right at all. I just wish I could get some answers.

Sorry to hear that @Gillseybear did you say how many DPO you were? Sorry if I missed that!
Try and treat yourself to take your mind off it for a little while!

@mamazac do you have any other tests you could try?

I’ve got quite a lot of ewcm (sorry tmi) which is weird at this stage but again, my hormones are all over anyway so what is normal?!

@JaneGnR88 I have more of those cheapies and I've got a digital but I'm not going to waste that. Will probs just do another cheapie tonight and see if that shows the same indent or something a bit darker maybe

Uncertainty sucks... If we at least knew for sure it will happen at a certain time...
Meanwhile, I am testing like crazy 🙈, all negative, ovulated on August 20.
If not pregnant, I hope at least period starts soon before I finish all the tests I bought.

@JaneGnR88 I am cycle day 31 I believe. Not sure about post ovulation as I did not get chance to properly track it this month. I had spotting which was very light and seemed weird. So I assumed that it was implantation bleeding.
Just taking it easy today and trying to relax. I am so confused as to what is going on with my body right now.

Let me know how you get on @mamazac ! 🤞✨

@Ana12345 I know that feeling of just getting to a point where you’d just be happy if AF came so you could move on!

@Gillseybear you’re right to take it easy, it’s a stressful time, try to do something to take your mind off it for a couple of days?

@JaneGnR88 yeah my plan for tomorrow is I am going to see my friend and my nephew and just having some lunch and time with her. I just wish things were simpler and made total sense but I will keep an eye on it and test again on Monday if it's still all over the place.

Did another cheapie this evening, same line maybe maybe a tiny bit clearer but I'm not sure. It's the bottom test, I've darkened it as might be able to see clearer but there's not any colour to it.

Just wish af would hurry up as I have a bad feeling.

@mamazac I can see sth on the second one as well. But indeed, I heard it should have a color... we can only wait :(

With mines there's nothing at all, so who knows. Maybe that line could indicate something.

Hi ladies,

Just wondering if I can jump in here too 🤣 im 12-13 dpo today and I took a frer this morning and I think my eyes are going square from looking at it 🤣 can yous see anything on it? or am I going mad 🤣 I've inverted a pic and can see it too but don't know if it's a evap or an indent or a real line 🙈

@Hailsxx I totally understand you. Today I ripped a test apart trying to find the damn second line that didn't want to appear.

I can see sth, but don't know if it qualifies as a positive test. I heard you should be able to see the line and the color. Maybe you repeat it tomorrow to try get out of doubts.

@Ana12345 it's actually frustrating when somthing keeps catching your eye and you can't actually tell if its somthing or your eyes are playing tricks on you 🤣 I've been there before taking tests apart, your not alone on that one 🤣

Thank you so much for looking i will either take another one in the morning or Saturday morning 🤣

Morning all, how is everyone today? Any symptoms?

@Hailsxx I feel like I can see something but super faint but could be the start of something?!

I’m feeling a bit low, still crampy and tested with a frer and can’t really see anything at all, so think those convincing lines yesterday were evaps/indents. Just going to try and enjoy my weekend as still early days and test on Monday with another frer 🙄

Photo of this mornings frer attached. (My old
iphone camera is seriously getting on my nerves too!)

BFN for me today. Very moody about it.

Counting myself out this month and just ready to start again next week x

Aww I’m sorry @mamazac when is AF due? How long have you been trying now?

I feel the same, just desperate for some good news and feel all over the place 😣

AF due on Sunday/Monday.

This is cycle 7, but it took us 13 cycles to conceive our first so it's just knowing that we're probably going to be in for the long game again which is heartbreaking.

It's hard not to get yourself down, but usually once I've come on I cheer up again because I know I'm onto my next chance.

It will happen for us, hopefully sooner rather than later xx
