TWW

Thanks ladies, makes me feel better. It's hard not to think the worst when I've had losses before. Going to try and keep myself distracted as much as I can today! I'll keep you posted!

@Aria2015 a line is a line and that is a BFP! Please don't worry it takes 48 hours for HCG to double up so you won't see it be any darker until atleast tomorrow 11DPO is still very early I'm 11DPO today and haven't tested yet think I might do a FRER in the morning as I've had some cramps on and off, watery CM and a stitch like pain not normal AF symptoms for me

@ale2992 i'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

So feeling a bit uncertain and down today. I did another frer this morning and another definite faint positive appeared. It's about the same as yesterday though so not really noticably darker. I then did a clear blue digital and it came up not pregnant. I know they aren't as sensitive as the frer and according to their site I shouldn't test with them until tomorrow but still can't help feeling like something is wrong. I think if my frer had appeared much darker today i’d feel better. I'm 11 dpo now and this was my frer from today.

Hello all I’m 5dpo and going mad!! Anyone mind if I join here? I’v commented on another thread but recognise a lot of the names are the same 💖

@Aria2015 Ahh bless you! I can only imagine how you must feel sorry you went through that first time round but just keep telling yourself this is a whole new pregnancy and will be completely different! Best of luck and hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months

@MrsP4 thanks for the reply. I have been googling like mad and have read similar which is reassuring. I hope everything goes ok and I stay pregnant. My first (full term) pregnancy was such an anxious time because of previous miscarriages. It would be nice to have a pregnancy second time round without having to experience loss first. It's out of my hands though so I go from one type of waiting game to another!

@Aria2015 congratulations and please don't worry correct me someone if I'm wrong but I don't think you and baby share the same placenta until about 6 weeks is it? I'm not sure but I've read something like that somewhere, honestly though don't beat yourself up about it, it will all be fine

AF due Wednesday. I met up with a friend last night for drinks. Wanted to check before drinking that I wasn't pregnant but all I had was a cheap pregnancy test which I did first thing and I got a BFN (did it in the morning with FMU). I feel zero symptoms, no sore boobs etc... anyway, went out and drank and then this morning I did a FRER (my dh had for one last night when shopping) and it's positive. I feel so awful for drinking last night now and keep crying. I had no gut instinct or symptoms telling me I was pregnant - will my drinking last night do any damage? I've had miscarriages before my first (and only) lo and am now full of fear.

P.S. I listened to a lovely podcast the other day on Spotify, the title is 'hey girl' and its episode 14: Kenya on trying to conceive. She's really good at telling her story of the highs and lows x

@ale2992 that is tough, does she know about your MC? Pregnancy is all consuming, she probably doesn't realise the affect she's having. I had to politely leave a whatsapp group of friends late last year after a MC and two of the group were pregnant, I just couldn't deal with hearing the happy updates. If you have the strength tell her how it makes u feel. If not don't feel guilty for taking a break and looking after yourself for a while x

Thanks @MrsP4
Fingers crossed for us both. As you say, keep relaxed and anything else will be a bonus ;)

@ale2992 it's too difficult not to symptom spot isn't it?! I'm exhausted today too, the cramp I was feeling yesterday has gone so who knows what that was. You've got another week or so before you're going to get get that bfp so don't necessarily write off this month, you're definitely still in the running 😊

@CamMc I'm 8DPO too, haven't tested yet as I think it's far too early implantation doesn't usually occur until 9DPO your not out yet! The reason I haven't tested is because I keep getting up in the night desperate for a wee and then my FMU is knackered 😂🙈 not really having any symptoms here so feel like I'm out I always think be worst and then anything else is a bonus

Morning ladies, also in the TWW (trying for no2, cycle 3). I’m on day 22 of my 27/28 day cycle, 8 days post OV. I tested this morning as I couldn’t wait but only had a standard Boots test. It was a BFN...realistically do you think I’m out for this month or shall I retest with a FRER on Sunday when I’m at 25 days?
Promised myself I wouldn’t test early this month but my boobs are feeling so incredibly sore that I was so certain it would be positive . Thanks for your advice!

Hi all, hope you're all doing ok!
I have a (potentially silly) question... does anyone know if you can 'feel' anything at just 3-5dpo? I'm feeling cramp similar to period pain, but not as painful, more a heavy feeling in my pelvis. Its probably wishful thinking but after a google search some articles do say this could be implantation. What do you all think? AF due on 4th March so let the tww start again! 🙄

Back joining the tee good luck to you all x
