Is this a positive ovulation test? Pic included

Oh no! I was hoping to hear you had gotten your bfp,maybe it will be lucky number 11 for you also(hopefully with abetted outcome though). I'm really not sure if I believe the whole 'relax and it will happen' thing. It always seems to be the craziest and busiest months I have seemed to get pregnant.

To be honest part of doesn't even want to try again. The sickness was awful and it's still quite raw in my mind, also since this has all happened I'm considering buying my house, which would make maternity difficult to take in the future. I feel like it took me a solid 11 months of trying and timing it right to get pregnant so with not taking ovulation tests I still don't believe my chances of getting pregnant are very good at all. I guess I'm just totally torn about what I want in my head... So I'm leaving up to chance. I have decided though that IF I did fall pregnant again and I had another early or late loss then that would be our family done. I wouldn't do it again and that's for definite.

I can imagine how you feel. I know when I'm trying for a baby, I can only see babies everywhere! I guess it's the same but with siblings. Haha peppa pig! I can totally relate though. On a serious side though, it's totally heartbreaking when you want something so bad though and it seems to come so easy for everybody else. after your scan came back ok though I'm sure it's only a matter of time for you! Easier said than done I know but when it happens, the wait will be worth it.

So for me, I'm back on my ovia app. It's the only thing I'm going to track... And even then I'm not really going to make an effort to have sex on my fertile days, I'm literally just going to use it as a guide so if I do get pregnant then I will be able to see when it happened.

Hey Lillybug! I have been so so busy. I wasn't going to come back but at the moment I'm torn. I really want to try again (like I always said I would if I had an early loss) but I took this so hard! Luckily though, I have managed to keep myself busy with a weekend away and work and get through the last 2 weeks pretty good, all things considered.

How did you 2ww go?? I really hope you got your bfp! I ended up having a Erpc (minor surgery to remove the baby) because I'm not sure if I have mentioned before but I had a rare uterine disease called a uterine AVM which has not gone, but because of my past the didn't want me to have a medically induced miscarriage. Which I'm glad about. My first pregnancy I hung around for 2 weeks waiting to pass the baby and this time, I went to sleep and woke up and it was done. To my suprise though the nausea was still bad for a week. I suppose the hormones took a while to go down.

ANYWAY since my Erpc (it's been 15 days now) the bleeding had totally stopped, however because my sickness was so bad with the pregnancy my husband and I have seemed to have got out libidos back hahaha and the last 4 night have done the baby dance unprotected. I'm not actively trying to get pregnant again because to be honest I really don't want to do another year of compulsing over something that will end so suddenly again, but if it happens then I'm happy with it also. I think I am going to do the not trying but not preventing thing.

All things considered I'm really good right now.

I hope you have some great news to tell me! I would love to keep on contact about what is going! Xxx

Hey Lillybug. I know it's been a while! I have found out today that the baby has passed. I've decided that we won't be trying again for another couple of years. Really hope you got your bfp!! Take care xxx

Oh no :( I'm so sorry Lillybug! I know how hard the wait is. Maybe it will be lucky number 11 for you to! Although I hope it's earlier than month 11 for you. Right before holiday to! That sucks Xx

So your 11dpo? You have willpower of steel! Haha. No way I was able to wait that long. I really really hope it's IB for you.

Yes I had my scan today. Everything looks great and I even saw a little heartbeat today. Im so happy, I really thought something was wrong. My sickness is still coming and going (although today it's been pretty bad but in hoping its just the heat). Xx

I know your on holiday, hoping you got good news and your bfp! You chose an amazing week to go away. Hope your relaxing and having a good time either way! X

Yes I think it's always best to expect the worst. I have told my mum and sister now and they keep telling me that my dates are probably off. I can't seem to get them to understand that i know when I ovulated to there isn't any possible way I can be earlier than what I know I am, however I do know that babies can measure slightly behind and then catchup (I believe by a whole 2 weeks) so I'm really hoping that is the case. It's the only possible scenario other than there being something wrong, so fingers crossed. However the lack of morning sickness is concerning to me so again, preparing for the worst.

I really hope you get some exciting bfp news on your holiday and you don't have to think about resigning just yet. Maybe Mat leave would be enough time to get a nice long breather and think about things. I was going to leave my job and get another after my 6 months of going back to work. I was going to leave unless I got pregnant again. However if something goes wrong with this pregnancy then I will still leave my job, get another and wait until I have been there long enough and try again. I just can't possibly stay at my job any longer than I have to! 😓

I hope you have a lovely holiday. Let me know how you get on if you have to test (when you get back, I don't expect you to message me whilst your away lol). X

Hey! yay for time off. I'm off this week, I booked holiday. Ok not actually going anywhere but I just wanted the week off.

Well the scan wasn't bad but it wasn't what I was hoping for either. I know when inoculated so I know I am 6+1 today, however when i went for the scan I should have been 5+6. All they could find was a sack and a yolk sac. She didn't seem worried and said that I was just early (she thinks 5 weeks). I know I'm not though, so despite what she says I'm not totally happy. At 5+5 with my other kids I saw a heartbeat. Also I have had no sickness still.... Just the tiniest little bit which comes and goes. Everyone is telling me to be optimistic but I think if i prepare myself for the worst then anything else is a bonus. I have got another scan on the 20th of this month (5 days away).

Ya I haven't ever felt anything at 6dpo, but you do hear about women feeling stuff. Is it in their head though at that point? Maybe! That will be exciting! Lol are you going abroad so taking your own tests or are you staying in the uk for your holiday and going to nip out and get some when it's time to test? X

Hey Lillybug! How are you feeling? Having any symptoms?

I got my first scan tomorrow morning at 9am but still have zero symptoms or morning sickness so I'm praying everything is going to look ok! I will let you know.

Anyway hope your week is going well!

Chat soon x

Hey! That fab news. All looking really positive! Let's hope it will be a bfp this month then. You must be so relieved!

Have a good evening!

Chat soon x

Oh that's a good sign, hopefully you will get your positive in the next few days then!!

That's great about the sleepover! I used to love it when my mil would have my 2 girls. She can't anymore because she is a bit old now and it's just too much with 3 of them!

I hate everything about my job. I mostly deal with customer complaints,which wasn't the job I started 12 years ago, but instead of offering me redundancy they just swap my job role time and time again plus they just add more and more into my job without even asking me. Their attitude is that if you don't like it then you can leave, but of course I can't afford to so I will be taking my maternity this time and doing my 6 months after, then I will start looking for another job. I really don't want to deal with customers directly anymore, I would rather stack shelves in tesco any day of the week! Haha.

I hope things settle down at work for you so you don't have to leave. Sounds like if you can ride this out then you could have a nice career there, like you said, when your kids are older.

I went to the doctors last Wednesday and I still haven't received a scan date/appointment or a call from the midwife so I don't know what is going on. With all my other kids I was seen so quickly or at least given a future appointment quickly. I will give it until early next week and maybe call them and find out what's going on. Really glad I did book an early scan myself now because of not hearing anything, plus I'm still not feeling sick which has me a bit concerned BUT my morning sickness didn't start until 5 and a half weeks with my other kids and I will only be 5 weeks tomorrow, so I'm not worrying too much about it!

Oh yes I forgot about your scan this weekend! I hope it goes well and shows everything is perfect. I know what you mean about drinking and having a full bladder, honestly I'm useless with holding my wee. I think my bladder is the size of a peanut!! I'm going to be a classic Tena lady when I get a bit older 😂
Xx

Oh wow you work in HR. I can't imagine that is easy when your TTC and having to deal with pregnant women a lot! I couldn't do it.

It's good that you don't need to work, at least you haven't got the extra pressure of having to stay if it all gets too much or if you don't like your job! Apart from the stressful time you are having, do you generally enjoy your job?

I hate my job, I really can't stand it but like I said, I need it. Plus whilst I'm pregnant I need to keep it for the maternity pay. I will go back to work after the baby for 6 months and then I'm going to look to find something else.

How did your ds get on at the Gps? It can either go one way or the other, can't it? They are either crying to come home, or crying because they have to come home!! Haha.

To be honest I think even though I'm getting an early scan, I'm going to keep my private one now either way. Extra reassurance and it makes the time pass faster. Plus I know it sounds very negative but after the bleeding I had last Friday night/Saturday day, I keep feeling like a sitting duck, waiting to get bad news or to start bleeding. I wish I didn't feel like this, but I have never had bleeding in pregnancy before unless it's been bad. I hope I can get reassured and comfortable.

I have NO symptoms yet still. I'm trying to not worry about that because my symptoms have always started in the middle of the fifth week and by my calculations today I'm 4 weeks 3 days, so this time next week I would expect it to start if everything is ok!

Sorry it took so long to get back. I saw your message almost immediately and wrote a long reply and somehow managed to delete it all. It took me a few days to start again! Haha. Have you started opks today or are you starting tomorrow? X
