So happy for you Flatwhite32 and thanks for getting me on this thread, you're such a sweetheart x

weasledee · 10/04/2018 21:34

Flat it's great to hear from you! I honestly can't believe that your 25 weeks! That's gone so fast (you might not agree! Smile) how have you been generally? A little girl, how lovely, made up for you x

Boboelephant · 10/04/2018 21:30

@Flatwhite32 so glad to hear things are going well for you! And congratulations on having a girl!! Hope the next 15 weeks are easy for you x

Cakelaur · 10/04/2018 21:18

Thanks @Martydog I'll be peeing on a stick again tomorrow and the next day and the next day. Probably for the next week!!! So even though I have my bfp you can count on me as a poas buddy!! Haha

Flatwhite32 · 10/04/2018 21:05

@weasledee bless you, that's so sweet of you to think of me! I'm so sorry I fell off the thread! I know how hard it can be when you're TTC (particularly after MC) hearing from pregnant people, and I didn't want to upset anyone. Thanks @UnicornsandRainbows1 for alerting me to the thread again.

Anyway, I'm 25 weeks now and expecting a girl! Still worrying about things going wrong, but feeling very grateful too. I just have to hope all will be ok. How are you doing? Xx

Martydog · 10/04/2018 21:01

Is anyone testing with me tomorrow I can't wait until Poas Friday as that's when af is due?

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 10/04/2018 20:55

@weasledee I do but I'll see if she'll pop back in for you guys Wink

Martydog · 10/04/2018 20:50

@cakelaur I am so pleased for you.

Boboelephant · 10/04/2018 20:39

Yes!! @peachesarenom I knew it!! 😉
Ooh @Beck1988 I've heard that too! Fingers crossed!!

peachesarenom · 10/04/2018 20:36

Boboelephant I think I might have seen 'not sneezing' on the list Wink

I really have heard of blue veins being a symptom Beck1988!!!

HidCat · 10/04/2018 20:33

@SerenaOverjoyed so sorry to hear about your MCs. I hope it's a straightforward fix and you can move in soon . xx

Beck1988 · 10/04/2018 20:29

Just got out the shower an noticed really noticeable blue veins on my boobs! Really think this might be my month! 🤞Trying not to get my hopes up but feeling positive! 😬

Boboelephant · 10/04/2018 20:27

@SerenaOverjoyed I really don't know I'm afraid. Maybe you're right. At least you'll find out tomorrow. Hope it's all ok.
@hayleyfx thanks. I hope yours flies past too.
@peachesarenom Haha what does Google know!! Meanwhile sneezing at 3dpo was not a pregnancy symptom for me last month so now that I'm 3dpo again and NOT sneezing, that means I'm pregnant right?! 😂
@Daffodils86 thankyou! It would be amazing. Maybe that is is why the universe gave me delayed ovulation this month...So I'd see bean on the screen! 🤞3dpo here. Also feeling impatient and like my boobs are going to fall off!

Daffodils86 · 10/04/2018 20:20

How are all the tww ladies? Its 2dpo for me and im feeling impatient.
I also feel there is a slim chance of conceiving on the first try again, no one is that lucky!

@SerenaOverjoyed
So sorry for your losses and that things are dragging for you slightly. I always wish there was something better i could say.
Viewing window to the womb is definitely needed.

@Boboelephant what a perfectly timed scan. Fingers crossed for a little bean on the screen!

peachesarenom · 10/04/2018 20:05

Lol Boboelephant, I googled early pregnancy symptoms and a heavy uterus wasn't one of them!

hayleyfx · 10/04/2018 19:48

@Boboelephant I hope the two weeks fly by but they never do when you’re so nervous/excited to find out! That would be so exciting to find out at your scan, I hope they do spot a little bean in there Grin
@SerenaOverjoyed so sorry for your losses and also for how this is dragging on for you. Sorry I don’t have any advice, I’ve never heard of that happening before but I really hope it all gets sorted for you soon.
Btw, a womb viewing window would be brilliant! 😂

SerenaOverjoyed · 10/04/2018 19:32

Boboelephant Wouldn't it be a bigger rise for a fresh pregnancy? 10 is tiny

Crap as this is i don't envy you two week weighters. I wish wombs came with a viewing window Hmm

SerenaOverjoyed · 10/04/2018 19:29

I'm doing blood test #3 tomorrow and the EPU will call me before 5

Boboelephant · 10/04/2018 19:26

@peachesarenom fingers crossed for you tomorrow and your heavy uterus!!
@Claire138 try not to worry hun. So many people say that the month things felt different was the month they got their bfp! @Claire138 and @hayleyfx I feel the same! Waited so long for ovulation this month that to have to wait another 2 weeks seems impossible! 10 more days- ugghh!!!
I think I'm expecting AF on 21st and I have scan to check ovaries on 20th so hoping she'll spot a baby in there!!
Thanks @Cakelaur 😀
@weasledee I was just wondering about her the other day too. So glad all is well.
@SerenaOverjoyed welcome but so sorry for your losses. And that it's dragging on. Are you sure it's not a new pregnancy? Especially if you have had a bfn. Will they test your bloods again to check?

SerenaOverjoyed · 10/04/2018 19:20

They didn't say Daisy, I wish I'd asked. I was so relieved they'd called me with results I didn't really think. I'm assuming as it's such a teeny rise it will be for an unpleasant reason rather than a magic new pregnancy. I did have a bfn about 9 days ago, but I'm wondering if I have retained product that's somehow grown? Or my hormones are just a mess?

I have a long cycle normally ovulate around day 21 so it would be very strange for this to be a new pregnancy.

DaisyMay25 · 10/04/2018 18:37

@SerenaOverjoyed how strange that your hcg levels are going up. Did they say what it could be? And when are they testing your bloods again?
Sorry to hear about your mcs Thanks

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 10/04/2018 18:35

@cakelaur congratulations !!!

SerenaOverjoyed · 10/04/2018 18:18

Can I join you ladies? I've been lurking for a while, and read all 30+ pages while waiting in EPU on Monday. (congratulations Cakelaur!! I was so cheered up to hear about your bfpGrin)

I've had two mcs, both at around 6 weeks. We've only been trying for 4 months so it does feel like mother nature is giving us the finger!

I'm feeling a bit sullen now as 18 days after I stopped bleeding I'm still getting bfps. EPU look my bloods last Thurs (hcg 36) and Monday (hcg 46) so something weird is going on. I just want this shit to be over.

hayleyfx · 10/04/2018 18:14

Oh and good luck for testing tomorrow @peachesarenom I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you! 🤞🏼

hayleyfx · 10/04/2018 18:14

@Claire138 yep we will have to keep each other sane during these two weeks haha! Hopefully there’s a BFP at the end of the two weeks for us both though! Grin
