RESPONSE trial thread

Aaarrrghh... trying not to think into this but this morning I woke up with a bit if pain / really dull ache like i get before my period. Af not due until at least a week on Monday. Has anyone ever had anything like this mid cycle?

Anyway it's now subsided but when I got in the shower I got a horrible taste in my mouth. I thought I'd maybe swallowed some shampoo but 4 hours on my mouth still tastes iffy. Thing is my first 2 pregnancies I knew I was pregnant because of a metal taste in my mouth. Im trying not to symptom spot but...?! I dibt want to tell DH and then disappoint him so figured I'd share it on here

That was brilliant. I may test my DH. But... it really freaked me out. That guy looks exactly like my ex boyfriend from uni! He's American too and if it wasn't for the different name I'd be convinced it was him! Aaarrrghh!!! (Were talking 10 years ago! )

Haha so funny philippa x

Evening! How are we all doing?

Not sure if any of you ever youtubed couples ttc, but for well over a year I've followed a couple called 'Matt and April'. They tried for ages, finally got pregnant than had a mc, then have been trying ever since. They've recently tried IUI but that failed too. The thing is, they're such a cute couple and have really helped me throughout ttc. Anyway.. I checked today to see if there was any updates and they'd uploaded the following video. It's about men learning ttc speak. So all the abbreviations etc... It really made me laugh so here's the link... :)

What? Send your fmu? Confused!

I was thinking of Wednesday which would be 10 dpo. But i have a job inteweem. Wednesday So not sure what to do for the best. I'll probably see how I feel next week. Scared of i don't test my mind won't be on the interview bit if I got a bfp my mind wouldn't be on it either!

Hate this 2ww. Can't help trying to symptom spot. My first 2 pregnancies I knew within a day or so of conceiving because I get a metallic taste in my mouth! Can't stop looking to taste it!

Yea I'm heartlands too! I'm going to start testing next Wednesday as that's my first day back from holidays! Although I may send over half to pharmacy here on Monday or Tuesday just incase ;)

I think I'll start testing from Monday, it'll be 7 days since first smiley on Saturday but I know I never get positives until later in cycle so I'm going to wait a few days. Good luck ladies, let's hope it's a hat trick!!

Ooohhh... We're all pretty much bang on cycle buddies. My smiley had gone this morning too. Come on girls! Leta make it a bfp hat trick next week! When are you starting testing?

genwah85 yes I'm at heartlands, are you?
I tested again this morning & my smiley has gone so it's just a waiting game now!

Hey! My smiley lasted 5 days started on cycle day 10, I'd had negative tests and a full period since last miscarriage so no idea why I got smileys for so long..... I should start pregnency testing tommorow but I'm going to put it off until next week as still on holidays!

Hi brummie are you doing trial at heartlands? X

Smiley has now gone so just need to keep going for a few more days and cross my fingers for a bfp!

Unfortunately DH is in agony with his shoulder. Dint even know what he's done. He thinks just the angle he's working at when he's working at home. Anyway I feel terrible keep having to jump on him when hes in so much pain but if I don't it feels like it's another cycle down and another egg passed is by! :(

Phillipa88 I'm a wimp with needles too but my husband is an even bigger wimp so if/when I have to start the injections I'm just going to have to be super brave!

I watched black work last night, thought it was good! Love anything with Sheridan smith in. Glad I've got something to watch on a Sunday night. X

Welcome brummie, again sorry to have to meet you on here :/ good luck for that bfp though!

Indie OMG... I would hate to of gone through that. I can only imagine what was going through your mind :0 but hey ho, all is well and baby is cooking nicely :) not long till your private scan.. Exciting!! Let us know how it goes!

I find the injections ok really, my oh does them as I'm a wimp lol! Sometimes they can sting a little bit but it's short lived - I'm only doing them on one side of my tummy as I've got scarring on the other, could be why it's sometimes sore!

I'm 9+2 today and all seems to be well. I do keep thinking the worst though and it's really awful, I wish we got scanned every week!! It's my own fault for googling things and reading even after a heartbeat, 9 weeks is a really risky stage. Now I'm making problems and worrying :/
Still having the odd buzzing sensation where you'd normally get cramp, it feels very odd!! I know it can't possibly be the baby so am putting it down to stretching?

Huge msg there lol! Waiting on the oh finishing the washing up before watching Black Work on tele - anyone seen it? Xx

Indie, phew and glad it turned out to be ok. Think the Southampton ladies are turning out to be right pains for J & A! Have my discharge appointment on Thursday from the trial. Wish it wasn't over but can't change it.

Brummie, welcome and good luck either the trial x

Brummie you're supposed to start testing 7 days post smiley which for you would be Saturday and me Sunday but last month I found it horrendous. So... I've decided to go for dpo10 as nearly everyone (except choccy who is lucky enough to get very early bfps) hasn't got a bfp before dpo 10.

Only problem is I have a job interview next Wednesday which would be dpo10 so I'm thinking it may be better to wait until after. But I'm going to see how I feel next Tuesday / wednesday and if I NEED to poas!

Thank you ladies!

Kazz2112 fingers & toes crossed this will be our lucky cycle...I hate this wait now to see if af makes an appearance! Do we start testing 7days after ovulation? Seems really early.

Ladies who are already having the injections...how have you found them? X

Choccy, I'm with you, I didn't test after I got my smiley.

Hi brummie, sorry you have found yourself here, fingers crossed for you next attempt xx

Yes, I did have a fright with them not finding the heartbeat! Do you know what, my DD and my pregnancy with her was a roller coaster, high Down's risk, parvo, and more, 35hour labour, and a trip to theatre. I said to the trial nurse, this one is going to be a pickle too, I just know it!

Good luck with everyone DTD. Fingers crossed for some BFPs soon xx

gosh Indie so pleased all okay.

welcome brummie sorry you have found yourself here. fingers crossed for you xx

Looks like I've got a other cycle buddy. Hi Brummie this could get confusing as there's now two Brummies on here! I got my smiley on Sunday on cd14 so looks like we're going to be going through the next few weeks together!

I'm on my second cycle ttc on the trial but third since my last mc. Fingers crossed for some good news this month!

Re smileys, I didn't test after the first one x

Christ Indie!! So glad all ok though. 16 weeks was when they listened in with me too, it was just usual here!! Although I found him with my doppler a week earlier ha ha. He was really low down too :) glad your appt went well.

So sorry about your losses brummie and that you're here :(
Hope you're not waiting too long to get your long for baby xx

Hi ladies! I'm new here...I signed up for the response trial a few weeks ago & this is my first month ttc! I had my first smiley on the ovulation tests on Saturday & I was still getting a smiley this morning when I tested...is it normal for them to appear for 3 days? I thought it would only last 2. Keeping everything crossed that we have got lucky this month!

Here's a little info about me & our situation:
I'm 27 & husband is 34, we have a 3 year old son...I had a chemical pregnancy before my sons pregnancy but my pregnancy with my son was really straightforward. We started ttc No 2 June 2014 & was lucky first time but found out at routine 12week scan that baby had sadly died at 8weeks, this was a total shock as I'd had every symptom going right up until my scan! I then had another miscarriage dec 2014 at 6.5weeks & another feb 2015 at 6.5weeks.
Really hoping our next pregnancy brings us the child we so desperately want to complete our little family! Xx

Omg indie. That must've been awful but so glad it's ok. Phew!!!

Just done another opk test. Still a smiley. Its normally gone by now!

So I went out of the hospital shaking like a leaf!!
But it was there, beating away!
I'm kinda glad it happened, as I've got a private scan Sunday and was worried I would turn up and then have them say, sorry bad news.
At least now I know things are still ticking along!!!

Sorry for the rant, hubby is fishing!!
I was even more worried when she said have I felt movements yet!! No!
Phew.
Now the wait to see if baby plays ball and let's us see if it's pink or blue. The way it behaved today, I think they will have their work cut out!!
