Congrats GG everything crossed for you!

Is there anyone else left still to test? I'm hanging in there AT due on Thurs but looking at pattern of cycles usually pops up on the Friday so going to do my best to hang on until the weekend to test if she hasn't shown. Not feeling massively optimistic...we did DTD plenty in the days before OV but barely since then....stress of other things getting to the both of us. Horse gone up for sale today so now wondering whether would be best to get that wrapped up first anyway ...but still would love to see that BFP just want to know that all the changes we are making to set ourselves up right are worth it and we can get that little bundle of joy x

AF not due till Thursday/ Friday so I am still waiting to definitely be out but gave in and tested early and got a bfn at the weekend.

I am still really tired and got a few symptoms but could all be for reasons other than pregnancy. Am charting them on my app though so at least I know for next month what is normal.

In this one together then babyscotcher! I promised myself I wouldn't test until AF was late or showed symptoms. Been so tired anyway with stress stuff going on so o idea if symptoms or not. Guess the weekend will tell...im never more than 24 hours late so if I can hang in I'll know for sure I think x

I had a short cycle last month, which I did when I came off the pill last time too so my app says I am due today which I know not to be the case. Not feeling hopeful anymore but will wait and see. It was 3rd cycle for us last time so I am hopeful for next month. Saying that the tiredness of the last few days is pretty extreme and I don't remember feeling like that since my last pregnancy. As you say though it could equally be down to stress.

Fx for you too Nikkibiscuit, lets see if we can wait it out and not test until the weekend.


GG don't give up until the witch arrives. It is more likely to be a false negative than a false positive.

Thank you babyscotcher. It's really got to me this time, start a new job tomorrow so hoping that takes my mind off things for a bit xx

 

[millielaura]

Do you think this sounds like it could be implantation? I'm 6dpo and last night and this morn had on/off stabbing pains in one side and a lot of cloudy CM and now had one wipe of pink CM.
I've not had these pains since ttc again but one cycle i did havw spotting at 7dpo then af came the next day so :/.
I also feel sick and dizzy but I'm on antibiotics so probably that! I know antibiotics can cause thrush I wondered if the pink CM could be caused by thrush but I have no other symptoms of it. xx

Well, bfn this morning. Not even a hint of a line or shadow even if I open the test. Last cycle when I lost it, I kept getting faint lines for a week until I bled so weird to get such an obvious line then nothing overnight....especially when yesterday's line was so so much better than the day before.

I guess I'll just see what happens and wait for af now. Gutted.

That's strange. Wonder what's going on there. Maybe it's a dodgy test GG. AF hasn't arrived yet so there's still a chance.

Hmmm, who knows. Can't find anything that supports hcg being able to disappear overnight.

Guess time will tell. I don't even want to test again now, just wait and see what happens x

Sorry, just catching up here had a couple of days break. Was your urine really strong this morning GG? I think when the hcg amount is still low, other toxins etc being excreted can be far more dominant in FMU.
Just my theory around evening testing being better when very early on.
I hope its just that, dont be disheartened yet lovely, no bleeding is the best (most old fashioned) sign.
I haven't bothered to test again now after the clots etc, will reschedule my ovulation app soon but cant be bothered with it for now. All bleeding stopped virtually all together after I passed the 2 clots. Nothing at all like a period. Xxx

No, not massively strong really. Either superdrug early tests really are awful (which I don't believe), I'm having quads and already suffering the hook effect (which I don't believe), for some reason, not enough hcg this morning or, a faulty test. Just seems so odd to be so stark white after 5 days of lines, the 5th (12dpo) being a good one. Last cycle it took until a week after bleeding for lines to disappear...two weeks after the actual pregnancy ended I think as that's when they started going faint.

I can't understand why it's just totally white.

Might get an frer this afternoon and try to hold for 6 hours.

How are you feeling? Xx

Yes unusual for it to be totally white after quite a good few lines, I do also always think that there must be an initial surge, mine seem to be 10dpo ish, then there is a plateau?

Definitely worth holding for a frer, if you get a pale pink line even?

Im feeling shite, totally broke my heart on Saturday and had the biggest cry out I've had for ages. I think hormones changing again play a part.
Felt better, but have felt worse.

Anyhow onwards and upwards xxx

Deffo time to start screaming at GP's and oh to start getting more serious...for your sake.

Midwife tried to call me today for a catch up so I popped over to see her and she's getting the gp to refer me to epu for a dating scan to figure it out. She said again, a line is a line on any test as far as the medical profession are concerned, they do not buy into evaps and false positives where colour is detected end off. It makes her quite angry I think.

Anyway, she knows everything and as far as she's concerned, I'm still 7+3 as I only spotted for 36 hours but the scan will tell us either way.

I do feel better and I am not going to test now. Too stressful.

I may have something that will help your husband...i'll pm you later xx

 

[Fela]

GG I'm sorry to hear about your uncertainty, still got fx for you. Xx

 

[_GG_]

GG I'm sorry to hear about your uncertainty, still got fx for you. Xx

Thanks Fela. I really feel like no matter what tests I take and what results I get, they won't make me feel any better. The scan will let me know either way and when we know, we can move on. I'm hoping it can be Thursday or Friday afternoon as I'm working the rest of the week. If it's Friday, I'd be either 8 weeks or almost 5 weeks so better chance at accuracy. Just praying I don't bleed between now and then. X

 

[Fela]

I'll be thinking about you GG.

 

[holli]

I've still got every thing crossed for you GG our bodies can be so evil with all this guessing malarkey
How are you TT?
I'm 4 days away till af due, nipples still sore especially in shower can't have the water directly on them and oh touched them while dtd I had to make him get off them, still got cramps but these are both signs I get to tell me af is on her way so not holding much hope xx

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Argh trying not to scratch the poas itch this is torture. So much respect for you ladies further down the cycle route. Convincing myself that areolas look darker today and have more bumps on around the actual nipple. Probably all in my imagination...but it's impossible not to symptom spot isn't it?!

Literally the moment the midwife said she'd get me in for a scan, the poas desire left me. I went into town and had no compulsion to buy more tests and I'm quite happy about not bothering now. The scan will tell me one way or the other so I'm relaxed and comforted by the knowledge that I'll know definitively.

It's impossible not to symptom spot though so I hope the time between now and testing passes quickly for you xx

 

[Nikkibiscuit]

Well ladies I am a total failure. Couldn't get testing out of my head despite being 3 days still to AF due. So poas and BFN....tbh not sure I expected anything else. Haven't had decent symptoms and I'm not convinced we DTD enough to catch one this month. Guess that's me out until August. At least I can hit the campers at hen do at the races in couple weeks guilt free...every cloud eh. Not sure why they drum it into us at school that it only takes a bit of pre ejaculation to get pg....odds seems to say otherwise. Glad I have somewhere to vent OH doesn't get the urge to test. He just says don't test every month until you show a reason to....im like my brain is a reason to cos I can't stand the not knowing x

If only it were that simple. They have no way of understanding what it's like for us.

Remember you're not actually out until af comes so don't lose all hope yet. Not everyone gets symptoms xx

I echo GG. You are not out until AF shows and it is still early if you are not due until the weekend. That's what I am telling myself anyway.

GG- Glad you are feeling more comfortable with it all now they have booked you in for a scan as at least you will have the answers one way or the other.

I spoke briefly to OH about it last night to try and explain the frustrations of symptom spotting. I now have the addition of smells making me gag. I got a strong waft of my meat cooking last night and it turned my stomach which was odd. So many symptoms could be other things though like normal monthly cycle stuff or my IBS. AHHHH

I also feel sick and dizzy but I'm on antibiotics so probably that! I know antibiotics can cause thrush I wondered if the pink CM could be caused by thrush but I have no other symptoms of it. xx

Sounds promising millielaura for IB so think positive. Hopefully the little bean implants fully and grows nice and strong. Doubt the pink CM would be thrush as usually it would be creamy, thick and white before any blood would be present.

Just planning my weekend if AF comes.... lots of wine I think

 

[millielaura]

Ooh that's Good! CM isnt thick and creamy or anything.. more like ewcm but cloudy haha does that even make sense? And not as stretchy as ewcm.

Symptom spotting is frustrating isnt it! I feel the same lol feel sick this morn but maybe it's just antibiotics side effects lol. I had a ton of symptoms last month and held off testing for ages and wasn't preg lol gutted. Going to test early this month then at least I can't get my hopes up again xx

 

[millielaura]

Hope af doesnt come for you x
