2023 TTC 35+ Part 5

[VixFromThe6ix]

Hi lovelies,

New thread!!

Please tag whoever you can so everyone knows we are here.

Good morning ladies… I did a clear blue early response (10mlU/ml) morning and there’s a very very faint line… I think??? I can’t get a photo! And then the digital reads negative and the natural cycles test reads negative but they’re both 25mlU/ml so maybe there’s not enough for them to show up as positive yet? Help! DH is coming back tonight and I feel I should wait until he’s home to tell him but I also don’t want to get his hopes up for nothing… or my hopes up for nothing…11DPO…

Update - can anyone see anything here or am I going crazy and willing lines into existence that aren’t there?

i feel so bad now if this did work because I was like “feck it, I’m not pregnant this cycle anyways” and had a small bit of wine Friday night and had a bath yesterday…

Ok I am really sorry for the triple post but I can’t seem to edit old posts… but I’m not imagining this one I don’t think, but I read it like 5 mins after I should have when I went to throw it in the bin…

@El1988 I think I can see faint lines on them both, how many dpo are you? I'd be tempted to say test again in a couple of days, but if I was you I'd try and get a boots early detection or some frer (£10 for 2 on Amazon) as I don't trust blue dye ones at this stage 🙈

I would normally say ignore out of the time but I find with the cheap test strips sometimes as they dry darker that's the only time you see the lines to begin with 🤭

@Catson thank you for the reply (I’m freaking out here with happiness and then thinking I’m kidding myself and then happy again and kidding myself again, it’s a little cycle) but sadly I live in Germany and everything is closed Sundays so I’ve no hope of getting another test - what I have is what I have… 11DPO and actually with my MMC I found the natural cycles tests the best of the cheaper ones…

@El1988 I see faint lines on all of those!! Good luck!

@El1988 for 11dpo they're great lines. Defs hold off 48-72 hours before testing again, if you can 😅

Did my last frer this morning. Cd29

Fab line @Catson ! Congratulations, very exciting!

@El1988 I can definitely see a faint line on the 2nd picture but not on the clearblue test. Perhaps test again in 2 days? Best of luck to you.

Can’t believe how similar our journeys have been @Catson ! Massive congratulations to you!! What is your due date?

I know, so similar aren't they @happytobemrsg! My first proper cycle of roughly tracking ovulation too. It's 29 June I think, until the scan tells me otherwise anyway! Although if I alter it to my average cycle length it's 27th June too! I know NHS just assume standard 28 days so not sure whether to tell them the right date for my last period or say it was a couple of days earlier so the dates match, at least initially?

@Catson my cycles are 27d too so I altered it on the NHS site to get 27th!

@happytobemrsg mine are 26 days. Are we the same person 😂😂😂

We might be @Catson 🤣🤣

@happytobemrsg If you want to pm me your insta or FB I'll follow you on there and we can keep each other sane!

@VJFord damn right. Then there’s the carrying the baby, birth, breastfeeding, night waking ….

Help. I'm sat watching one born every minute 😂

@El1988 congratulations to you !!!

Oh I missed your posts sorry @El1988 ! Congratulations 🥰
Weve had quite the collection of BFPs lately on here ❤️

@El1988 I can definitely see a line on the second test. And I am not good at seeing squinted. I would try and get hold of a frer if you can. Not sure if you can order them on amazon in Germany. For now though congratulations!! Hope your line gers darker and this is your sticky bean.

@catson that's a beautiful line!

This was a lucky thread for quite a lot of people!!

Decided to start going to the gym today. I want to get myself as healthy as I can. And hopefully that will help with my fertility. I really am dreading having to ttc again for a tear and a half. It's so bad for my mental health.
I have also been absolutely shattered this wwwkend. Makes me wonder about my various levels of things.
When I started at the gym today they measured my blood pressure and said it was a bit on the low side.

@FigandHoney I was at the doctor getting a load of tests as I felt so fatigued, and everything came back fine. They did my blood pressure too and mine was on the low side. They said that for a fit female under 40 they would actually expect it to be on the low side of normal

Thank you @catson. That's reassuring to hear. Wouldn't call myself fit. But working on that

I wish I could join the gym. I've got weight to lose but I've recently been diagnosed with a condition that worsens when I sweat and it can be really painful so I have zero confidence when it comes to the gym or exercising at all - which is the polar opposite of where I need to be

@El1988 i see a line on the second test. Everything crossed.

CD31 on my first cycle coming off the contraceptive pill and slowly driving myself crazy. I know it took ages to have a proper period last time but I have such sore boobs which I don’t usually get. I also have a bit of an uncomfortable abdomen. I’m thinking it’s probably AF coming but also thinking it might be an idea to test 🙈
