Hi All - I am currently TTC baby #3 with hubby, bit of background on the 2 other times we tried we had a chemical in December 2022, then baby stopped growing at 9+2 in out most recent January 2024. so naturally we stopped again for a while to ensure my body had a reset and had some normal flows. But this month we started trying again, and i’ve been having extreme boob pain, headaches and tiredness. So i tested with Clearblue Ultra Early on the 24th which would have been 8 days before AF due and 9 potential days after ovulation which now thinking back wasn’t a sensible thing to do as it was negative (and an evap line from what i gather). Then waited and tested this morning and it was a clear negative again. So i’m now extremely cautious, worrying i’m going to go through everything again like either times before, and genuinely also upset really thinking that’s completely it and AF will arrive on the 01st June as predicted.

interested to hear positive stories (purely to stop my insanity)

thanks x

No positive story but if you’ve seen my phantom pregnancy rant in the other post today I’m feeling the same. All negative tests and feeling like I’m going insane. Sorry it’s not a positive story but hopefully someone comes through for you!

@hedgehog1518 hello, thank you for popping on my post. I am so sorry to hear you’re in the same situation. It is so frustrating. Hubby keeps saying “until theres a flow, we are still in” but i can’t think like that my brains not wired that way unfortunately. I just immediately think of the worst because the positive side to the story hasn’t technically happened. Im hopeful don't get me wrong… but also 80% of me now is thinking AF will arrive 01st June.

I get how you feel. Like if a test is 99% accurate then surely a really intense negative is accurate. If it were the other way surely there should be even the faintest line. So naturally it’s not to be…But then where is AF 🫠 I feel like they should just come to put us out of our misery!! Perhaps it’ll be June 1st for us both

@hedgehog1518 I’m thinking the first test i did was WAY too early. But today’s one i genuinely thought someone even the slightest faint would show. But we’ll see. Maybe we ovulated later than we think that can happen too. I also cant get over the very DISTINCTIVE boob pain because the tingles are so intense it was stopping me in my tracks at some points of the day! So in my head i’m thinking “how can the boob tingles be that intense and no positive? Not even a slight one”. A Negative is less accurate than a Positive so try and keep an open mind (as hard as it is). x

I’ve had it all, fatigue, nausea, boobs…But I’m also aware of how strong the mind is that it can create the sensations so I’m trying not to get my hopes up! I’m minimum 13DPO here with a mega strong negative (and I’ve tested every day for a week the same) so it’s so so unlikely for me but keeping it all crossed for you!

@hedgehog1518 the mind is a wonderful but also cruel thing all at the same time! Oh my by 13DPO i’d have been thinking at least a faint line? I hope you get the positive you 🤞🏻
