Oh Sunflower, I'm so sorry xxx

Morning ladies
Well I got this today

bit confused why it say 2-3 as AF not due to til tomorrow (was expecting 1-2), assume it just means theres more hcg than expected which is I hope a good thing. I am still a bit on tenderhooks as still getting some brown stuff, so reluctant to plan anything yet. I will be going for an earlier scan or two this time though just to put my mind at ease.
I still can't actually believe it, don't really feel pregnant but then I didn't last time. Really hope it goes well this time

GG those are some good strong lines FX for you.

Sorry to hear AF got you Sunflower.

Woo hooo! Congratulations, you're pregnant!!

Don't worry about the 2-3...you could easily have just ovulated earlier than you thought. It's there, that's what matters xxx

Thanks GG, my cycle was actually a really short one for me at estimated 26 days, I ov'd on cd13 which will be 2 weeks tomoz, I get bad pains when ov'ing so pretty sure my date on that is accurate. The lines on the other tests have been faint so was a bit shocked to see that this morning

ps i'm actually in the same area as you and I have horses

I'm sorry to read that so many of us are having such an awful time I follow so many of you ladies on your journeys and it is gutting that you are going through this I wish I could do something to help but I know I can't really. I agree Alexis that it's an absolute nightmare to try to stay positive throughout this. I also think I'm not strong enough for this in the long haul xxx

I'm getting to a point where I'm starting to feel like enough is enough. Positivity is practically non-existent. We've wanted this for nearly 3 years. We took it easy for the first year and I try not to count it as I wasn't ovulating then we tried not to put too much pressure on us the second year. Still nothing so started fertility investigations and have properly focused for the last year. I really don't know what else we can do. That's why I've decided to go back to the GP and get referred to fertility again. I just want there to be an end point to this journey. Good or bad. Obviously the good outcome is much preferred but if it doesn't go our way in the end, I need to find a way to draw a line under it and move on with life.

Big Huggsss I wish I could help but I know it's just words. I got myself into rather a dark hole these past two months so I'm trying lots of new things to stay positive and busy ..not sure they're working yet but at least it's something right it's so good to have a place where we can vent or where people understand xx

Thanks Laura. I find it helpful being on here as I feel like less of a nutter haha. As supportive as my OH is, men just don't get it like we do. He said he can't believe this is all I think about when I told him. I said I couldn't believe this isn't all he thinks about!! It was a really good talk though as I think we understand each other a little better as let's face it, we didn't predict we would still be in this situation as no one does. On here though, I feel a bit more normal haha. I've been feeling generally ok the past few days though. When the witch gets me, I think I need a new plan.

Aww I'm glad that your talk helped men don't really get it the same but probably cuz they don't go through all the hormones and they can't really relate to wanting to feel pregnant etc my husband is very sweet though about it all and I know he wants kids badly but I still find I need to get on here to talk to you ladies that have that extra understanding and can relate more than him. Haha he wasn't even sure how periods work until we met...crazy. I mean I'm not a guy but I know how all his biology works. What u thinking for a new plan xx

I have a few ideas but one (probably dangerous!) thing we're gonna try is actually involving OH in knowing my cycle His suggestion not mine haha!! As we've had so many issues, I starting tracking so much earlier than I ever would have done but have always tried to avoid putting pressure on OH. We talked about it and he made a good point that not knowing avoids the pressure on the fertile week but he doesn't know when AF is incoming and that I'm best avoided haha!! We both think it's worth a try. Can always go back if it turns out to be terrible!!

My husband knows my cycle and it hasn't done us any harm. If anything hell ask me so when are the good days LET'S GO HEHE he seems to be enjoying his involvement and feeling like he's doing something other than just donating sperm to the cause hahaha xx

Dan has been the same. His words were, "right, so you use these predictor things then I come home from work to you in your birthday suit and I jump into action? Lol

His catchphrase has become "have you got 3 mins?"hahahah
