A line is a line Tara, congrats! It has detected the pregnancy hormone, can't fake that really. The ClearBlue are apparently not as sensitive as strip tests.

Thanks. I really don't know how to feel. Hoping it's not a chemical...... I have zero symptoms, I used a cheap test first and saw there was a faint line so that's why I used the First response, that was a definite line. But it's disappointing now , worried now that I have raised DHs hopes for nothing. I have another digital and fighting the urge to test again tonight....

Tonight will likely be a waste of a test. You really need to test with first morning urine at this early stage.

But a line is a line, congratulations

Congratulations to Scousemouse too

Oh, and a lot of the time on this forum the positives tend to come in threes ...

Don't test tonight. Digital scan need up to a hcg of 100. First response is 6, but closer to 10. Wait for the digital. It's a scary time I'm terrified and trying not to get excited at all.

Ok, thanks a mill for advice. I had the test out and then read your replies so I put it back.... Will wait, thanks again.

Aw I am so happy for you both! I am hoping I am the third.. five days late. I am moving between constipation (which I never get) and diarrhea. I am getting mild cramping on and off that makes me think my period is here but it's not! I keep getting little dizzy spells too. I wee at least twice during the night so am hoping that it is just not as concentrated as the strip needs for a positive. I won't get to test tomorrow's so will have to wait until Wednesday, which will be 7 days late. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed for you!!! That's so exciting

Amazing news scousemouse and Tara. I'm so delighted for you bothI'm still not TTC at the moment.it was taken over my life , I need to be more calm about it. I plan on starting again in September and hope my approach will be better then. As in I was always using doctor Google and convincing myself I was pregnant. I was a little obsessed

More negative tests here this morning. I am 7 days late and have been consistently getting waves of light period- like cramps since about 2 days before I was due. I am very confused!

Sorry to hear that

are you usually very regular? If not, there might be still a chance. You could have o'd late and implanted v late?

Quite possibly. My period was 5 days early last month! I was planning on using ovulation sticks after this period to make sure I am actually ovulating. We only really started trying in the last two months. I have been on the pill for so long but the last 5 months off it i have been pretty regular. I am going to a wedding on Saturday so would like to know for sure if I am or am not pregnant so I can party the night away!

Fingers crossed! Either way by Saturday you should defo know for sure

Dr Google is evil! Driven mad with googling either way! I'd say u feel better for the break.

Ovulation sticks wont tell you if you have ovulated, they only detect the LH surge, which doesn't necessarily lead to ovulation. The only way to tell for sure is by taking your basal body temperature every morning and charting it.

(I had a 2 day long LH surge the month I conceived... twins, hormones were way out of kilter I think)

Oh thanks for that. I really thought the sticks were a foolproof "the egg is on it's way!" marker! Oops! Might start temping after this month if needed!

I'm a fan of temping, I started with the opk's but they didn't seem to work for me, got a peak on them too soon. The only thing about the tempting is that you don't have advance warning of ovulation but with fertility friend app that helps.
Keep is posted,, hopefully it is a bfp!

Tara123f · 28-07-2016 12:56PM

Hi guys. Was a CP for me unfortunately. Kept getting positives with First response but negatives with everything else. And then AF arrived this morning so I'm out. Trying to feel positive because at least I know something is working but I suppose I'm did get my hopes up. Anyway onto next month!!

Got a diagnosis of PCOS yesterday so feeling a little down. We are out of ttc for the next 4 months anyway at least.

Ah very sorry to hear than Emma, hugs to you. Does your gyn have a plan for you for ttcing? At least you know now though so does take some of the unknown out of this process.

Hopeful2016 · 29-07-2016 09:51AM

On progesterone support which is causing full-on early pregnancy symptoms but BFN at 11 dpo so I'm sure at this stage that I'm out. It's horrible stuff.

Thanks! Slowly getting over my pity party! Ye gyn has started me on 500mg of glucophage to help regulate my cycle. Im still getting physio on all the muscle issues so back with the gyn in nov to hopefully get the go ahead and clomid

bee06 · 29-07-2016 06:36PM

Think of it as an opportunity to prepare your body for TTC. Clean up your diet, cut out sugar, processed foods etc (assuming you don't haven't done that already).

I was where you were a few months ago. It took me a while to look at it differently. Now I think at least I know what's wrong and have a plan for it. I still have bad days usually coinciding with getting my period but the initial shock or whatever has passed. Best of luck.

applesock · 02-08-2016 10:20PM

Hey how's everyone doing ? I can't believe it August already this year is flying by. I'm still out of TTC'ing maybe another month or so&il be back. I'm half attempting to temp. But keep forgetting to take temp at same time. I decided to try ovulation sticks just the cheapy one,I have to say I find that process a tad tedious, decided to take a pregnancy test just for the craic at the same time. My cycle seems to be returning to normal was getting very long, probably due to the stress and over thinking. But I'm feeling good that my body will be ready.

Tara123f · 04-08-2016 07:58PM

After the CP I had the mother and father of a period..... Glad it's all over now and hoping that it won't take too long. Scousemouse hope you doing well
