Can't see it too well on my phone paws, do you have a frer or superdrug test?
That'll be it then Reebok, I'm the spice queen normally, begging for extra chilli in everything but I had my usual level of spice and got terrible problems! Going to avoid it for the next few weeks then reintroduce gradually.

MamaLazarou · 29/08/2015 17:51

Definitely looks like a line to me, paws. FX for you!

I am not pregnant this month but AF is late. Bah.

Reebok · 29/08/2015 17:17

Fruit, I did actually have some spicy food. Been craving it like crazy! Spice never affects me usually but what you said makes sense. Fx that's all it is!

Paws I can see a faint line if I squint. On the phone though! Retest tomorrow! Fx for you!

Would anyone count this?
It came up within ten minutes...

reebok have you eaten any spicy food? I woke up at 4am the other day with a dodgy tummy, convinced I had food poisoning and it would be the end of my pg. A bit of Dr Google and I found the answer, the pg hormones make your digestive system extra sensitive and spicy food, which contains irritants anyway, can cause big problems. Could it be the case? Stay well hydrated and rest.

Reebok · 28/08/2015 21:37

This is why I haven't been to docs. Convinced it won't last. Trying to make it to 7 weeks without bleeding. No I tested 3 days late and had an evap.

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 21:34

I'm not saying there's anything they may be able to actually do, but they may be able to offer some words of advice and reassurance? X

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 21:32

Could just be hormones hun, I would say speak to a doc, but no doctors open till Tuesday now due to bank holiday. Just keep an eye on it, if it persists perhaps give your emergency gyne unit a call (would say call your epu but I'm assuming they may be closed over weekend) x

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 21:28

I thought you didn't test 'untill' your AF was late?? X

Reebok · 28/08/2015 21:27

Getting worried. Had the runs (sorry tmi!)...had this last time I mc.

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 21:24

Oooo...reebok thanks! I'm trying not to get carried away symptom spotting, but i notice every-little-thing!
Serious boob cramps going on, cramps on the sides, bottom and nipple area...dont usually get pains this bad, even when I 'was' pg....only time will tell I guess, next few days are really going to drag.
Let us know how doctors go when you do go hun xx

Reebok · 28/08/2015 20:38

Thanks paws. Re the symptoms you're having, I had the 'fanny daggers', headaches, aches and pains, chills, basically the flu! Didn't get a positive until I was 4 days late though. Fx for you Hun! X

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 18:12

Crap, one more...pricking in boobs and under-armsBlush

The thing is, yes they could very well be early pg symptoms, but could also be symptoms of my recently diagnosed pmdd (which causes severe pms symptoms)
Bloody annoying, as now I have zero way of determining the difference other than a +hpt Sad

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 18:08

Oh...and a constant high pitched tinnitus hissing for last few days...Hmm

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 28/08/2015 17:40

emu I'm feeling more optimistic now, have calmed down a bit...dh tries to be supportive sometimes, but I just don't think men can ever truly understand what we go through emotionally with hormones etc...x

reebok I hope you pluck up the courage to see GP soon, no hurry though hun, just go when you feel ready. X

wine the endless waiting is horrible, even once pg you're still waiting...waiting for the 12 week mark,...the 20 week mark,...movement etc! X

Think I'm going a tad bonkers, I'm not imagining how I'm feeling, surely?
8dpo: dizzy, faint, tired, headache, cramps, FANNY DAGGERS (A* daggers too!) nausea, vomited twice, chills, spots, oddly calm.......

Neg hpt...super early I know, but with how I've been feeling I thought I should test (have a secret stash of ic's) saving my FRER 's for 10dpo onwards!

Reebok · 28/08/2015 11:09

Cherry I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Try to be kind to yourself...easier said than done I know.

Paws good luck. Hopefully you will get a bfp soon.

Thanks Emu. I'm home already and feeling better now LO is back in her routine. She's at nursery today so putting my feet up and trying to rest before work starts again next week. Still having cramps and cannot bring myself to go to the gp. I know I should. I just can't do it.

WineSpider · 28/08/2015 09:57

Checking in again after a busy couple of weeks temping, testing and obsessing on every ttc app i can get my hands on...

CD 19 and went for it with SMEP so the last deed was done last night and now the 2ww kicks in.

Weird how time really drags day to day when you're counting those weeks down but it flies by otherwise - I fully hoped to be pregnant this spring or summer and now September is round the corner.

Emu123 · 28/08/2015 05:17

Thanks for the info carrot. Hope you're feeling ok. reebok hope you're having an easier time. Are u home yet?

paws how are u and oh now? Do u feel any better after seeing the doc?

fruitlovingmonkey · 27/08/2015 21:41

Happy birthday Mama!

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 27/08/2015 21:26

cherry so very sorry to hear you think you may have lost another bub, I had two mc's in a row over the course of a few months too, so I know your pain hun. The next two weeks will be awful I'm afraid, no nice way to say it, I really hope you have some good news at your next scan in a couple of weeks...my friend had several mc's, and when pg with her son who she carried to term, she had a sudden massive bleed! He's now a very big 15 year old teenager!
I'm not trying to give false hope, as I know the odds are not usually good when you bleed heavily in pregnancy...but you just never know, that why I know the next couple of weeks are going to be hard for you. Its sad, and lonely when going through what's happening to you, but sadly it happens only too often to good, honest, deserving people.
I didn't think I would be able to ttc again when I was going through my 2nd mc,....

But here I am, eagerly awaiting to test again on the weekend!
God knows how I'll be if I 'am' pg?!
A nervous, lip wobbling, anxious, knicker-checking-wreck I can only assume!!!

Tbh, I don't think that anxiety ever goes away once you've experienced mc/mc's and are pg again...we somehow just find the strength to push through, and push on.

And you too will find the strength to push through, and push on, no matter what your outcome of your current situation Flowers Xxx

mama CakeWineFlowers happy 40th to you! Xxx

oh cherry i am so sorry! It is so awful to go through one, let alone two in a row. Take care of yourself

Emu123 · 27/08/2015 18:04

Am feeling a bit meh.... Cd 21 and no symptoms whatsoever - not even sore boobs! I'm feeling more relaxed as not temping so can't overanalyse on that front but was thinking, those ladies with bfps would you mind sharing your 'story' - lots of sex?? Temping?? Opks?? Smep?? Thanks lovelies!!

CarrotVan · 27/08/2015 12:27

I'm so sorry cherry. Be kind to yourself

Happy birthday mamaL
