***September testing group***

Oh @tdog I’m so sorry lovely :hugs: you’re still so young and times like these when everything is so emotional is not the time to making those big decisions. Sending lots of love!

@MumwithPCOS OPKs are so frustrating aren’t they! I know they’re not recommended for those of us with PCOS but I always thought that was because we can have elevated LH levels that can give false positives. I seem to have had the opposite problem and my positives don’t seem to be as dark as other womens! I’m 5DPO now but still not convinced by the temps.
 
Boring 7dpo for me today. I’ve taken a wonfo cos I have no self restraint. I can see a faint shadowy line but I can’t even bring myself to post photos. Don’t think I can deal if people can’t see it or say it’s an evap (which it probably is) :rofl:xxx
 
CE356FA2-53D7-4AD0-B69E-1F6FDA005334.jpeg I know the feeling @CakeBaby ! Wasnt convinced to post my tests for fear nobody sees my “shadow” but I enjoy seeing all you ladies’ tests so here’s what I got earlier this morning.
DH said he thinks I’m pregnant as he compared many things that are similar to last pregnancy. We decided to test with an ic even though it’s only 9 dpo.
Hard to capture with the camera of course. The top blue is fmu and the bottom is just water. It looks so much like an indent shadow so i did the water test but DH and I both see the shadow irl. Time will tell…
 
I think I can see a slight something @HalfricanMa good luck x
@tdog I hope you are doing OK sending love x
@Suggerhoney and @jellybeanxx good luck for testing time x
My opk today is still fairly dark for me although it's negative again now its much darker than usual. Hoping this means something. My boobs are also a little sore already!
 
Now slightly bleeding now so just wait for it to pick up now ffs :cry: I'm frustrated upset and just want to give up oh now on about getting the snip xx
I’m sorry @tdog X

Thanks love. 4dpo and no thing to report. I had a horrible feeling I’m going to be out again. But what will be will be.
I don’t have sore boobs or anything going on. Feel totally normal tbh. Hopefully get some symptoms soon if we have caught, but I’m fully expecting BFNs tbh. I’ve not done a opk since ovulation day and they were still very dark but not positive.
Mite do one tomorrow just to pee on something lol.
 
@HalfricanMa i keep thinking I see shadows!

@tdog how are you sweetie?

also, posting a PSA here to help people who are obsessive testers like I am… my preoccupation with looking for progression was causing me so much anxiety. I finally decided I didn’t want the tests in the house anymore and dipped the remaining ones (like 15!) I had in the same urine sample. The variation in the darkness of the test lines was shocking. Here’s an example:

Those are from the SAME sample!
So please learn from my mistakes and don’t test for progression after the test line reaches a certain darkness (for these pregmates, seems to be when it gets within a couple shades of the control line).

HUGE hugs and fx and baby dust <3
 
@MrsKatie thank you so much for asking after me ❤️❤️ I'm OK in a fashion I supose I have to be, don't even no if we will be trying again tho so who nos he changes his mind so so much, but I think he more stuck on he don't want to, we talked and he is shit scared of leaving me with the kids and also leaving his kids if anything happens (he has a aorta aneurysm) so I tried to sort of reassure him and said anyone could I could be in a car crash or the way the world is shot or stabbed but I do understand his worry xx
 
@tdog I’m so sorry, he’s probably having an emotional response to a very emotional thing you’re going through, and he’ll level out as time passes. Huge hugs

I no iam clutching at a lot of straws here love but early on you started bleeding didn't you and your tests went negative didn't they? I think I'm just emotional and looking for something :shrug: :cry: xx
 
Wow! What a difference from the same sample! Great idea to remove the tests to prevent that stress.
 
I'm 35 just turned love xx
Wait. You’re only 35 years old??? If so definitely don’t give up, just give yourself proper time to heal. Still bd, don’t do all the tempting and testing. And see what happens. I’m 36 and it took me 9 years to have another baby. It can still happen. I gave myself til 38 to try. I’m sorry you have to feel pain with every loss… I try to just think half glass full… it just wasn’t the right time yet. God knows better and it may be still coming for you (sorry if you aren’t religious) but don’t give up. Hugs
 
@HalfricanMa thank you <3

@tdog yes, they progressed a bit then were *almost* negative (not 100% but back to super light lines like at 8-9 dpo) and I was bright red bleeding (heavy spotting but nothing on my underwear, always just when wiping) and then the next day 13dpo I took my last frer hoping it would be 100% negative so I could move on and instead test line was as dark as control. May the same be true for you.

If he had time on his hands then maybe but this aneurysm could pop and kill him straight off, he worried about that and leaving the kids and I behind :cry: just have to wait and see what he wants to do xx
