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 also feel a bit down today. For us there is no baby yet so we don't have a successful pregnancy to fin hope in that. And the fact you only have 12 chances to try per year it's quite discouraging...

JaneGnR88 · 02/09/2022 09:18

Ahh what are we all like, there must be something in the water today!

I can absolutely related @Ana12345 we’re trying for our first too, the first time we tried I got pregnant and then lost it 2 days after getting me BFP so I grasping at any hope now as that was in December. But we will get there! My sister took over a year and had 2 losses and now she has two perfect little boys 🥰

@JaneGnR88 , I know you're right. It helps having you guys here. 🤗🤗

Hi ladies,

I just left testing today and have tried to just push it to the back of my mind today, AF is due tomorrow so I think I'm just going to wait and see what happens 🙈, had cramps in my back last night and twinges in my lower belly but no symptoms at all today, normally a few days before af I get really sore boobs but there not sore at all which is strange 🤣

@JaneGnR88 fingers crossed that when Monday comes you will get a bfp after enjoying your weekend 🤞 I feel frers are gone really bad lately for indents and evaps 🙄 they were never this bad before

@mamazac so sorry to hear you got a bfn this morning, hoping it happens for you soon, and it will be all so worth it one day ❤️

mamazac · 02/09/2022 20:13

So I got this tonight.. don't know if it's visible for you guys but I can see it clearly and I'd go as far to say it was pink

You know when you see a test and you know it's not positive, but this one I got instantly nervous and shaky because it doesn't look like an evap. It may not be a BFP, but it might be a P..

Hey @mamazac I can kind of see something and your eyes know better than me! I’d be really interested to see how you get on in the morning, especially as those are just the cheapy tests, do you have any frer? X

OP posts:
mamazac · 02/09/2022 20:56

@JaneGnR88 this might be clearer

No only another cheapie, if it's still there I'll go and get a frer

I can see that! ✨✨✨ Keeping everything crossed for you! Xx

@JaneGnR88 honestly if that's an indent I will eat my left arm 😂 never seen a faint line so clearly

Ana12345 · 02/09/2022 21:24

@mamazac fingers crossed! Let us know. 🤗🤗

mamazac · 02/09/2022 21:25

@Ana12345 thank you, I will do!

Ana12345 · 03/09/2022 05:21

I'd say my period kind of started. Hope to know for sure by this evening, at least to have a glass of wine over dinner... trying to make the best of it...

mamazac · 03/09/2022 05:53

@Ana12345 sorry to hear that, enjoy your glass of wine!

So the line is there still, might not be able to see it in the photo. Bottom test is this mornings. I wouldn't say it was any darker but it's definitely visible and I've never had a line like this on these tests. So will be holding my wee and heading out for a FRER today!

JaneGnR88 · 03/09/2022 08:49

Hope you’re okay @Ana12345 at least you can get excited for next cycle! 💕

I see it @mamazac ! How’re you feeling?

mamazac · 03/09/2022 08:50

@JaneGnR88 thank you! Very nervous haha, the lines are really clear but I can't find any reviews on these tests to a bit worried im gonna and staring at a blank FRER after this!

JaneGnR88 · 03/09/2022 08:50

Also just to say, and this might not be anything related but I was on the phone to my mum last night and got the weirdest pain in my lower stomach above my pubic bone, it was like a pressure I can’t really explain, stopped after a minute or so and nothing since 🤷‍♀️

OP posts:
JaneGnR88 · 03/09/2022 08:53

I know what you mean! What brand are they, the boots ones? I’ve never used those personally but surely it’s a good sign if the others from the same
pack were fully blank! Keeping everything crossed for you! ✨

OP posts:
mamazac · 03/09/2022 08:54

@JaneGnR88 yeah I've got one from a few days ago and I fished it out the bin and it's completely blank, so just have all fingers crossed at the minute xx

JaneGnR88 · 03/09/2022 09:02

@mamazac Eeek! When are you heading out for your frer? Do you think you’ll be able to wait until tomorrow morning?

I did one of my strips this morning and again I feel like I can see something but think these love pooling in the indents but still 👀😂

I’m going to order some more frer but try to wait until midweek next week maybe…

@mamazac nah I'll do one today because I'm going to a wedding reception tonight so need to know if I should be laying off the wine! 😂

I can see what you're referring to! I wish I had enough restraint to wait until next week haha

Meant to tag you @JaneGnR88 not myself 🤦🏻‍♀️

JaneGnR88 · 03/09/2022 09:19

I know I won’t wait @mamazac don’t know who I’m kidding 😂

Ana12345 · 03/09/2022 09:40

@JaneGnR88 I'm fine. Thanks. I'll wait for news from you girls. 🤗🤗

curliegirlie · 03/09/2022 09:46

@mamazac those definitely look like early positives! Good luck with the FRER - it's always reassuring to see the darker lines FRERs give when you've started on a cheapie!

mamazac · 03/09/2022 09:52

@curliegirlie thank you!
