The July 19ers - The rollercoaster continues, scream if you wanna go faster

@DartmoorDoughnut touch wood nothing else.... but I'm hideously constipated and scared to strain as that's how bleeding started last time
Had lactulose for 2 days and nothing yet.... a Costa black coffee always helped in my non pg state so seeing as I've been on decaf everything since pre-bfp I'm sending DH out to get me one to go with breakfast.

I'm worried about @Frazzle
She said she would slip off quietly if DH pulled the plug and she's not been on here since weds. X

@Kinsters fingers crossed, hope you can get a good line on a FRER soon!

I’m not feeling pregnant, sounds daft I know but I have always known in the past so I don’t hold out much hope for this cycle, doesn’t stop me POAS mind you! 9dpo today. If I’m not I don’t think there is much hope for next cycle as I think ovulation would be at the start of the week/mid week and getting DH to DTD then will be bloody impossible

How is everyone doing? @tigsyboo hope everything is quiet

@edidxb how far are you now hun? Have you got an early scan on the cards? X

@Kinsters
I really wouldn't trust the cheapies..... this was a cheapie and a frer on the same day for me.....
I didn't get a line in a cheapie until 4 days later!!
FX tho!!!!! Xx

Yeah it's super faint edidxb! I can only just see it myself and I know where I'm looking 😂

Sorry to hear you've been feeling rough. It's totally understandable to not want to talk about it too much and just try and get through the first trimester. Hope your DH is being supportive?

Morning.
@kinsters - that sounds promising. I couldn't really see the line myself but it is 610 and I'm not sure I am fully awake. let's hope it's the start of a proper line!
@Indreamland - how was the cake?
@tigsy - I am pleased that things seems to have settled down and there has been no more brown.
@frazzlerock - how was acupuncture? How often are you going to have it?

It is quiet on here. It's a tricky one as I have spent the last 2 weeks or so feeling so unwell I can barely lift my head to type anything and I don't want to wax lyrical about my pregnancy symptoms. I'm also massively cautious so I don't really want to talk about them much in general. I am just kind of head down, try and get through each week and hope that nothing happens and that everything is OK.

It is back to work today for me today, and man I am finding work tough at the moment.

Yeah it's been quite quiet on here. I guess this thread is a bit different from some of the others because we won't get new people joining.

I did a test today at 8dpo and got the squintiest of squinters. It did come up in the time frame but it's impossible to tell whether there's any colour. I don't totally trust these test because they gave me an evap last cycle but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hopeful about this!

@Frazzlerock ..... are you ok?
You haven't been on for a while x

I had more CB OPKs delivered this morning. Now off to meet a friend for afternoon tea and eat my body weight in cake.

@Rose68 the coQ10 was 'prescribed' by the private consultant. We will get another appointment in a few weeks though so will ask about ubiquinol. I'm still not comfortable doing any iui but will consider it still.

@Kinsters he has finally gone for his second sample, should get results in 3 weeks - DNA fragmentation takes longer. Not cheap but I'm willing to pay it. One less handbag for me. I just want answers, there has to be a reason for 5 years of infertility then followed by 2 losses in quick succession.

@tigsyboo fx there isn't anymore and it was just baby getting more comfortable and dislodging a little old blood.

Time goes so slowly during the first trimester eh @tigsyboo?

Thanks ladies
Absolutely nothing else *touches everything wood she can find)
Went to bed in white knickers so it clear if an discharge of colour and nothing. Trying to keep finger scrossed.

Can't call gp for referral till 6 weeks so hopefully a sca will be around 7 weeks (I'm 6 weeks next Thursday)

Oh tigsy I am so so sorry. If there is a bleed though I think it will show up on a scan? So even if its just the sac etc as you'd expect they'd be able to see if there's a bleed in your uterus or your cervix.

From what I can gather most people have some sort o& bleeding during pregnancy @tigsyboo I thought my period had started with DS, so hopefully it's nothing at all. How are you this morning?

I don't think you can tell unfortunately. I only had v v light barely there spotting with my mmc and bright red bleeding with my successful pregnancy. Keeping everything crossed for you Tigsy

I'm going to need temping 101 after AF returns - have no idea how to do it!

Temp dropped today to under 36.5...you're not supposed to be able to tell so early from your chart I don't think but tbh I'm pretty sure now that this isn't my month. I really hope that my luteal phase is long again this cycle so it pushes my next o date back late enough that DH might be back from his work trip.

How worrying Tigsy. I was told that as long as the blood isn't red and there are no clots or pain then its probably OK. With my bleeding last time I had light brown spotting like you described and my Dr said it was just my cervix. When I started to have bleeding related to the miscarriage it was totally different (small clots and painful - I could feel my cervix cramping).

Hope it's just nothing @tigsyboo

Do you have a scan booked at 6 weeks?

Yes rose another week
I'm only just over 5 weeks - so a perfectly normal scan with just sac seen could also be a worry if you get me.
I don't know how to feel my cervix (it all feels the bloody same to me). I just can't help but think it's happening all over again 😩

@Tigsy, try not to panic, it can all still be fine. Hopefully it will have stopped tomorrow, and you have your other symptoms too now, which is definitely a good thing. The waiting game is so hard, is it another week until you can get a scan?

@Kinsters I’m keeping everything crossed for you, I really hope you don’t see a temperature drop tomorrow.

What a Q day....

I'm having a bit of a wobble.
Went to the loo and say my knickers were very slightly tinged with light brown. No more than my little finger nail and clearly mixed with clear (ie not just blood). Nothing on wiping but covered my finger in loo roll and stuck it up and it was brown tinged - I'm not talking dark... again if the toilet roll wasn't white I probably wouldn't have been able to tell.... but now I'm panicking.

My last 'panicky' journey started with similar blood tinged discharge when I strained for a poo at 5weeks... and that ended in MMC at 9 (6 if you don't count the 3wks of no growth until hb stopped)
I know the bleeding MIGHT have nothing to do with the MMC... and it wasn't a PROPER brown wipe.... but ducking hell my head is spinning 😩

Eugh.... I feel rough today!!
Woke up at 2am dying for a drink and mega sore boobs (literally overnight!!) ended up on the sofa at 3am watching episodes of the inbetweeners which sent me back to sleep around 4. Now sitting at work cursing the Greggs decaf coffee shockingly not doing anything to perk me up!! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Did a clearblue weeks indicator this Morning and I'm 3+ (which ties in with me being 5+1 today).

Met the house buyers last night as they came roubd to show their parents. Woman has a lovely little bump - I just wanted to shout 'me too!!' But just too scared to say it out loud. 🤭

Looking back at my previous cycles, when I'm not pregnant my temperature normally drops on day 7 or 8. Maybe it's just a coincidence but I'll be looking out for that on Saturday and Sunday. I try to stop myself looking for "patterns" in what's probably just random data but I think that's just human nature!

Twittle that's just weird. Why does she want to get married on your anniversary anyway?

InDreamland that's such a long time to be trying and it must be so disheartening. I don't have anything helpful to say really. Has your DH's attitude to the whole thing improved at all?

6dpo and my temperature is still pretty consistent despite poor sleep. It's too early to infer anything but I like the look of stable temperatures.

@Twittlebee I can’t believe your Mum would do that to you! Can you talk to her? Bloody hell I would be seriously pissed off! Does she really want to jeapordise her relationship with you?

@Indreamland what about swapping coQ10 for ubiquinol? Has DH arranged that SA yet? I know you said you wouldn’t do ivf, but what about something else? Iui maybe? If it is DH’s swimmers that are at least part of the problem maybe it would help?

Thanks ladies, I'm just so broken. I don't know how much longer I can keep having disappointment and heartache. Summer 2013 we started trying. @edidxb I am on supplements - Feroglobin (iron, folic acid and B12), Vit D and coQ10.

@Twittlebee I would be really annoyed and upset. Sounds a little spiteful.
