The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

Yup, told DH this morning. He looked super happy but I worry cause he was so concerned about me last time. The delays before going in for the op meant we had a very rough couple of days. I know it scared him to see me like that.

I think the hcg doubles every 48hrs Buggles, so you must have been on the cusp of enough hcg yesterday which meant more than enough for today. That's super early to receive such a strong line! Have you told DH yet?

Not negative at all Betty, totally understand where you’re coming from.
@tigsy I was 10dpo (well 10 past the on clear blue ovulation kit) on Monday and 13 today. Was using first response, which supposedly shows 6 days before AF is due, in both tests but was definitely no second line on Monday but obvious second line today. Very strange.

What dpo were you Monday when you got the negative then what day was the positive @Buggles1 ??

@Pegase keeping everything crossed for you

My symptoms have stopped altogether which doesn't bode well

Mind you last time I didn't even have any at this stage so no rhyme or reason to it I agree.

I know exactly what you mean Betty (didn't read as negative either btw). I had the most awful morning sickness which continued until about 2 weeks after I had miscarried, as if my body didn't quite believe I wasn't still pg. As a result of the sickness, I told quite a few people and they all said exactly the same thing. Then you hear how others had the most boring (in a good way) pregnancy with not a sore boob or early morning dash to heave in sight... I don't think there's any rhyme or reason to it.

Sorry that sounded turbo negative. I don't mean it to. But people kept telling me while I was miscarrying that it was such a good sign that I still had loads of symptoms, and I was in denial because I kept feeling so .... pregnant. Anyway. I'll stop talking now. 🙊

I know what you mean about wanting symptoms @Buggles but if I'm honest, I still had really strong symptoms last time for weeks after the pregnancy had actually failed. Bodies can be so bloody misleading 😔

Not feeling too bad, thanks @Ratherbe.
I couldn’t wait and actually did a test on Monday. It didn’t show a line at all and I felt pretty down. I almost didn’t test this morning cause I felt sure it was going to be negative - so why waste a test ay! I’ve had the strange stretchy stomach feeling and some back ache already, bit nauseous this morning but that is it really. I never had that many symptoms last time so it was hard to know I’d mc’ed. Hoping I’m as sick as I was with norovirus (maybe not quite that much) this time for reassurance!

@Betty the pre-ov days are boring but I'm just glad that af is finally here in honesty.
Your DS sounds adorable. I can't wait to wake up to that one day! This morning I woke up to my dog licking my arm, not quite as cute lol. That's really positive... 2 sleeps until Saturday....!

Great stuff @rather, a new cycle begins! Can't stand the waiting. Mind you, the pre-Ov days are dull as hell but still, you're back on the road again.

I feel q queasy today. The first thing I thought this morning when I got woken up (by a 2yr old sprawling over me and saying "I love you Mummy" - whereupon all is forgiven) was gosh, I know this feeling. It's that slightly hung over, mild headachey feeling that I get every time I'm pg. I had it with my chemical though really strongly so I know it doesn't count for anything. Also a temp spike this morning. Fx.

I loved that mantra. How are you feeling in yourself Buggles?

@Frazzlerock this is the space to feel shit in, you're not ruining anyone's day.

I was really anxious about Valentines, sounds stupid but every year my grandad would send me a card signed "?" In his big scrawly handwriting. I'm not into v day at all, completely not my thing, but was a little tradition that he did every year. My DH got up early before me this morning & laid a card down by the front door, signed "?". Not much at all, but made me smile...

AF has finally arrived too, thank god!

Absolutely @Betty, I recall reading that too and it really did stick in my head. I’ll be repeating it again each morning now.

You’re not spoiling it at all Frazzle. We all understand how frustrating and upsetting this whole ttc business is.
It really doesn’t help with the DH situation. I was amazed at how little men really know about ttc. I’ve had to educate mine but, like you say, you start to feel guilty for putting the pressure on and they just don’t realise the amount of anxiety and stress that comes with knowing how small a window of opportunity there is. Sigh, I really never thought this would be so hard.

@frazzle how disappointing 😔 I'm really sorry.

@buggles that's awesome news, congrats! I'm with you 100% on the mixed emotions, but I remember the mantra from a previous thread... "today, I am pregnant" ... and that's good enough for now. xx

Congratulations @Buggles1 fab news!

@Frazzle it’s not over until it’s over. Sending you hugs

Sending hugs Frazzle, that's so bloody shit. You never know, it could dip up xxxx

Fab news Buggles huge congrats! Fx for a sticky little bean! X

Oh Frazzle was really holding out hope. Downward trends are never good only slight possibility is that you'll implant today and shoot up but... you know

buggles oh wow, that is bloomin brilliant though. Really hope this is it, your rainbow baby. But that is good way of thinking, you'll get the testing and some answers if this one does sadly end. FX though.

Morning everyone,
I feel really bad posting this after reading your message Frazzle but I tested this morning and it is positive. I feel so thankful but so full of trepidation. I haven’t even told my husband yet! I’m trying to be positive and keep telling myself this is attempt number three so, even if it is another MC, at least we will get the nhs tests this time.
Hang in their Frazzle... we’re all on this rollercoaster together...
Glad to hear the bleeding has subsided @Pegase... fx you (we all) have a sticky one this time

@Rose68 study didn't answer your question earlier. Pretty sure she said AMH was 16.1 on the phone (or was it 60.1?).

@Pegase I love Rasa Saying. It's a Malaysian restaurant/cafe. Mmmmmmm. I haven't been for a while but think I need to pay a visit soon.

@InDreamland it is called Rasa Sayang I think, by De Hems bar. Cheap but tasty!
