Hi ladies

So I'm "Dollie" and need a vent / advise / I dunno why but I just find comfort in these threads!

So I had a mc in December and a chemical in feb and finally 2 weeks ago I got my POSITIVE YAY!

Ok so factsheet...

last period 5th July
cycle length varies from 30-33 days
ovulation test smiley 20th July (PM - the am was negative)
feint positive 2/8/19

  • digital positive 4/8/19

So with all of the above info my "Ovia" app calculated I was 6wks + 2 days today.

So being the anxious crazy lady I am I booked a 6week private scan today hoping to be reassured - especially since yesterday after I pee'd (tmi) I had a little bit of spotting and again late last night

Anyway so today I go and had my ultrasound and my pregnancy is confirmed a 6.8mm great shaped (?) pregnancy uterine sac (if I'm wording correctly) and a very strong yolk sac BUT no fetus / fetal pole so my sonographer guesstimated I'm actually more 5weeks and I should come back in 2 weeks...

As you can imagine my mind is now going crazy...
I'm feeling totally anxious - plus after the ultrasound I got some brown spotting! And have had a little more other spotting this evening which my sister thinks could be implantation as I'm more 5 weeks

I guess I just wondered if anyone had any similar experience that ended well? And if looking at my dates that actually the ultrasound does add up and I just miscalculated

Also implantation spotting - anyone had it!?

Himself won't be home this week due to long hours at work. This weekend is ov for me. How many times should I get him to look after himself this week to keep the swimmers going. 😂

Sending baby dust to everyone 🤞🤞🤞
Hope you all get your BFPs soon
I'm 9 weeks now and in the full swing of morning sickness 🤢🤮

ImMeantToBeWorking · 14/05/2019 16:08

Same here, I took a month off obsessively trying, and was still disappointed when AF raised her head.

Hopefully there is nothing wrong, but if there is the doc will be able to shed some light on it.

This time 2 years ago I got pregnant, so I know we can get pregnant, and yet not getting pregnant has me worried. I had a MC for no apparent reason so I am totally worrying but not going to the doc yet!!

Lammoshay · 12/05/2019 19:09

Hi lovely
Still trying here :(
Have docs on wed so may get some answers although only 5 months in but may get some advice x

How is everyone getting on?

MumsTheWord92 · 09/04/2019 12:12

29 days pp and think I have a faint positive.
Thiyght partner had changed his mind about TTC as he was turning down sex but turns out he was just having a hard time at work.
Going to keep doing tests over the week to get a clearer result

Hi @Lammoshay how are you?? I hope you had a good weekend!

Can I join?

Not sure there’s much point I don’t think we’re getting anywhere 😔 cycle 20, already have 1 4yo DD. Tracking using Ovia and it’s fucking soul destroying.

I’ve had a lot of abdominal surgery and am afraid to go to docs in case they tell me it’s defo not possible.

Due AF Sunday, but I’m not hopeful as I had my monthly headache today and my boobs are sore to touch (so much so I had to put ice lollies on them)

Ah well fuck it all

ImMeantToBeWorking · 22/03/2019 18:35

@mumstheword are you OK? Why giving up?

MumsTheWord92 · 22/03/2019 17:23

Well not trying this month and might not be at all anymore Sad

ImMeantToBeWorking · 21/03/2019 13:45

Hi all, took a bit of a break from this for a few days.

So this month I stopped temping around the time AF came, and I have not started again. I am not going to temp this month and probably next month, as with a holiday coming up at the end of April I would rather not be newly pregnant in case anything happens when we are away, but now that we are trying to not get pregnant it will probably be the time that it happens!!

DP works away for the week, so how often we DTD changes week to week. If he is home on a Wednesday night we usually DTD then. Normally once or twice on Fri/Sat/Sun. One weekend recently he had cows calfing and ewes lambing so he was up late and gone early so we had it Sat morning only. That was a very bad week though.

We found we were DTD depending on OV etc and not enjoying it like we used to, we talked about it and decided to not let that happen anymore! We want to get back to the fun we were having before TTC.

MumsTheWord92 · 21/03/2019 00:41

@WiKi84 Completely know how you feel. I fell pregnant with my now 19 month old as soon as I came off the pill. Was very surprised as I figured it would take atleast a couple of months just for my body to get back to normal. We are on our third cycle of trying now and I keep telling myself that it is still early, but with me falling pregnant so quickly last time I'm freaking out abit :(

Bit of a personal question but how often is everyone dtd?

WiKi84 · 19/03/2019 22:19

Makes sense. Still annoying though. I tend to dip (always as per instructions - some say 5 seconds and some say 15) instead of actually poas as I'm worried I'll miss or my bladder isn't as full as I think it is

Lammoshay · 19/03/2019 21:30

Looks like an evap line to me due to flooding. X

WiKi84 · 19/03/2019 20:34

I've become a POAS addict already!

Now I don't believe this is even a faint positive but can someone shed some light on wth I've done to this??

First pic is from just a few seconds after peeing and second is 2-3minutes later. It looks like the dye all pooled in one place for a bit and then when I've turned the pic b&w I can see a line slightly whiter than the background (which has now totally cleared and doesn't seem to have any pink left to it).

Did I break it?? 😂

According to Clue I ovulated on the 9th, Flo says 8th and Ovia says 4/5th. Dtd on 1st, 4th and 9th so I'm hoping I caught it whenever it was. I've been testing pretty frequently as it's 1st month trying and I'm impatient (really hoping I'll chill out a bit next month but I doubt it!) and keeping getting bfn obvs

Lammoshay · 17/03/2019 22:44

Welcome@wiki, it’s certainly not easy for a lot of us but we just have to stay positive don’t we and new out fingers crossed- sending you lots of baby dust x

How are we ladies- been quiet in here, give me updates xx

Hi all

Can I join in? First month of trying with DP and currently 7dpo (I think!). I was on the depo injection for about 18months and came off it in the summer, periods seemed to become regular(ish) around December (although never really been regular so I'm not sure on anything). We've been using condoms decided to 'stop preventing' this month but it's become an obsession for me already. I've got 3 different tracking apps and they all say slightly different dates. I know I'd be rubbish at tracking my temp but might get some opk's next month and see how that goes.

I conceived DS (different relationship) 9 years ago after forgetting to take the pill just once so think part of me was expecting this to be easy and the rational part is trying to get me to calm myself down!

Sorry for the long rambling intro!
