Jords0105 only a test or waiting until next AF is due will tell.... I am fine... my hormones are all over the place but I'm quite positive about the future.... @rhibee29 what was your hcg level? when they tested me... after bleeding had just started, it was only 6 so miscarriage was well and truly underway. Please rest and look after yourself and know it's a threatened miscarriage... how far along are you?

@sarah2209 I looked for everyone too and why I started this... I missed you all!! Bad AF!! I was counting on you this month!

Hi guys, hi newbies! So sorry to hear @rhibee29 got my fingers crossed for you!! How are you lisara? Hope everything's well. I've counted myself out this month me and oh and been going through a few problems so have only dtd once!! Oh well, always next month. Just wanted to ask if anyone knows why my boobs are so bloody sore? Lol it's very rare they hurt unless I'm really cold which I'm not or if I'm in the middle of af. Have felt a bit queezy every now and again for the past week or so. Im almost certain I aren't pregnant after the heavy bleed I had after the faint positive although I never did a follow up test haha!

Sarah2209 · 25/06/2017 17:43

Just seen your other post RhiBee - thinking of you, and try to rest. Let us know how you get on.

Katiegd - tww is an emotional head mess.... stay positive and try not to dwell, easier said than done!

Mrsjones17 · 25/06/2017 17:40

@rhibee29 oh no I'm so sorry to hear that 😢

Sarah2209 · 25/06/2017 17:39

Hello Ladies... Lisara thanks for tagging, I looked everywhere for you all!!

RhiBee - positive vibes and try not to stress.

Hi Melodypond.... Fx for tww

Hello newbies: Sarah here:

Ttc No.1
Age: 43
DH: 50 with some issues
This cycle is number 5 (though previously tried for a number of years before having a break and deciding to have one final try)
Currently started 2nd round of Clomid after the wicked witch arrived yesterday Sad

RhiBee29 · 25/06/2017 17:38

Hcg levels are below 1000 so back in epu Tuesday for bloods to see if hcg is increasing. Now classed as a threatened miscarriage. The bleeding has gotten heavier so I'm losing hope Sad

MissyEm · 25/06/2017 17:33

Hi, if this is a lucky thread can I join please?!

First time TTC
Came of pill April 29th
OPK smiley June 23rd (does that make it DPO 2 today?)
Cycle 1 or 2 (not sure if break through counts as 1?)
Cycle day 16

So in the TWW, not sure when to test, may wait for AF arrival on July 5th if the Ovia app is correct?

Feeling nervous, scared, excited, impatient aaarrrrhhhhh SmileShock

EMHW123 · 25/06/2017 17:18

Hey all, I cut out caffeine :) just drink decaf including the decaf Diet Coke I never can tell the difference although the withdrawal headache was awful!!

I've struggled with the emotional rollercoaster of this too, I'm reading a book just now called "the universe has your back" trying to put into perspective things that trigger my anxieties. It's a bit mumbo jumbo but it's given me a little bit of context to things.

McTufty · 25/06/2017 17:11

katie

That is a totally understandable way to feel. Pregnancy feels unattainable for me even though I have no basis for that as I haven't been off pill long enough to say. It's just scary and frustrating.

Very much hoping you get your BFP this month.

McTufty · 25/06/2017 17:10

Hi cannonball I have started having a half caf coffee in the morning (if I buy one out), which is about 75mg. Then I have decaf rest of the day. I also have Diet Coke which has caffeine in but I have cut down.

Haven't altered my drinking, in a binge drinker anyway so probably drink once a month and really go for it. I would probably avoid doing this in 2ww but otherwise I don't plan to stop as life's too short!

katiegd · 25/06/2017 16:56

Just realised how miserable that sounded!

I'm really doing ok and have loads in my life that is good. However, TTC is increasingly taking up my mental space, especially at this time of the month.

katiegd · 25/06/2017 16:47

Thanks Lisara, I'm now in the bit of the tww where I get a bit crazy and mood-swingy. I think it feels like we've been trying for so long (not compared to some others I know), that I don't believe it can happen for me, as if it's something that happens to other people.

I know it's not over til AF shows so just have to wait til the end of the week.

Cannonball - I haven't changed habits much. I'm not a coffee drinker anyway but still drink quite a lot of tea. Have cut down on drinking a bit though.

lisara79 · 25/06/2017 16:27

@cannonball8726 I have cut down on coffee and have reduced to one cup a day but I'm still having 2/3 cups of tea again... obvs, if pregnant, I'd switch to decaff... I did for the few days I was pregnant (before em)...

cannonball8726 · 25/06/2017 16:02

And of course by 'but down', I mean 'cut down' Wink

cannonball8726 · 25/06/2017 16:01

How much have you guys but down coffee and tea? I probably have one tea a day max but really craving a latte!

Melodypond17 · 25/06/2017 15:47

Fingers crossed for you @RhiBee29 x

lisara79 · 25/06/2017 15:28

Hi everyone and welcome!! It's good to have some new people to share with.... @katiegd... not long until af really!! good luck... @rhibee29 the fact that urine test was positive is a good sign... I can imagine how you feel and I'm sorry you are going through this... let us know how the results turn out. Be thinking of you x

Hi all. Thanks Lisara for starting the new thread. Glad to hear you're feeling ok.

I am:

Thanks @lisara79 I'm an emotional wreck. The urine test was positive and cervix closed so I'm just praying all turns out ok x

lisara79 · 25/06/2017 13:48

@Rhibee... stay positive... I was in same position but by the time I was at epu I was showing negative on urine tests... until that point, they were relatively positive so obviously it's not always bad news... I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. Let us know how it goes xxx

OP posts:
RhiBee29 · 25/06/2017 13:41

I've been looking for you! Just left epu as had bleeding and cramps since last night. Need to ring at 4.30 for blood results if hcg is over 1000 they'll book me a scan if under 1000 I have to go back on Tuesday to see if hcg is rising. Scary times!

lisara79 · 25/06/2017 13:41

@EMHW123 welcome! yes... previous threads of this group have been quite lucky. Let's hope it stays that way! Good luck to you. We'll look forward to the symptom spotting!
