  • Morning Ladies!

    Debs is this an ovulation test or pregnancy test? I know the OPK I use say you should wait 10 minutes anyway, and I find that they stay the same colour once they're positive hours later. I've never had a positive pregnancy test so can't comment on that :o


    Still no sign of AF, woke up this morning with a headache and feel sick, but that's probably just because of the headache. No spotting yet either so if she hasn't turned up by tomorrow I might do another test as this is now the longest LP of any of my cycles, though if I had a negative test yesterday I highly doubt I'm going to get a positive one tomorrow. Really don't know whats going on with this cycle :(

    Hi everyone. Sorry not been around I've been trying not to think of the 2ww.

    So needless to say when I woke this morning with back ache and cramps I knew we had failed another month. Sure enough AF is here so please can you mark me CD1.

    So here is to our 13th cycle and our 3rd cycle of clomid. We've been trying for a year in 3 weeks time. At least I know we get our FS referral a month today. Scary hey.

    Sorry if I've missed any news, will just lurk for a while.

    Oops sorry, it's a pregnancy test - superdrugs on if that makes a difference. I've never had one with a line in the test area but then I've usually binned it by 5 mins later

    If it's a pink line debs then it's a positive. How long did you leave it for? I did the same thing when I got my bfp (re shower and same test), but had a digi to back me up ;) Superdrug tests are very good, apparently :) Good luck

    Morning Ladies.....i need some advice

    Took a test this morning, but jumped straight in the shower before the test line had even came up and when I got out, well there's definitely a line, although its fainter than the control.

    Do you think this will be accurate or does that happen anyway if you leave it too long - too scared to believe it!!

    A positive is a positive! Thats what I was told by the girls and boom there it was stronger and a definate BFP two days later. Mine took a few minutes. You need to have the hormoane there even if its in its lowest form it will show a line.

    I hope you get your BFP - xx

    Hello there - I'm still waiting for my cycles to get back to normal and going for acupuncture tomorrow to try to help this. Acupuncture helped me to conceive last time, so I'm hoping it sorts out my hormones now.
    Does anyone else have any experience of this?

    How does it help - relaxing? I have never heard of it but hey if it gets a BFP its worth a go.

    I have started taking Pregnacare tablets and I must say I do feel a bit queer. (Not gay queer lol.) I have read they do have some side effects on some people. Its only been three days so I am hoping it will wear off. Only good thing I have noticed is that I am so awake! I feel so much better for being so awake when I was pregnant I was yawning from morning to night. Wish I still had that though obviously.

    Went to the Dr's yesterday to drop in my after operation letter and to book an appointment to check my blood pressure as in hospital it was 80/40 which was causing me to be a bit dizzy when I got up etc, I feel fine now but they don't want me actively trying to get pregnant again if it is still very low. I doubt it is so low now though.

    I also have a test on my Thyroid on the 14th of August. They are doing some trials into Miscarriage and some are linked to Thyroid issues so when they offered to check it I thought I would be silly not to.

    :)

    EEEEEKKKKK. i've just done another and there is a line although its quite faint but defo there.....hoping that its just mega early and that's why it's not strong - and not the whole host of other reasons I'm cooking up!!

    Let's say its a TLP for now, I dont feel very confident for some reason, its surreal!
