2020 Bumps (hopefully ;) )

Hi! I hope it's okay to join - had the coil out last week, worlds most horrendous period ever since but as soon as that's finished we are straight on the baby making train!

@Liam2018 I think you can get a small surge just before AF, maybe give it a few days then test again if AF hasnt appeared

@mrsio thank you lovely, all set up 😀

Hi its my first month trying and thought I had ovulated 10 days ago but now not so sure, had loads of symptoms but now probs think there all in my head. I took a pregnancy test and ovulation tests cant really see anything on the pregnancy test but does this ovulation test look positive? I have irregular periods so would love to know if I'm ovulating so I can try. Sorry for all the questions I am a first timer

@MrsC89 I think I've just sent you a PM x

@mrsio ooo thank you, could you PM me a link to it?

@MrsC89 I've just seen that there is a group on baby centre called TFMR Rainbows. It might be worth joining it to see if you can get any helpful info x

@OkyDoke it's still pretty early to have had a period. I think I was 3 weeks both times I've come off the pill. I know it's easier said than done but try not to stress x

@mrsio I know statistically it shouldn't happen again, and in pretty sure that will be their answer, but I think I will just be psycho until the 12 week scan thinking what if

Still not started my period despite taking last pill two weeks ago!

@MrsC89 that's horrendous. I'll keep everything crossed that they offer you an early scan. Statistically it is extremely unlikely to happen a second time but you will obviously still worry x

@itsbeenalongtime cycle 3 this time, last time it was cycle 2.

@mrsio I spoke to the consultant that did the scan at the EPU when I was being discharged from hospital and she said she didnt know how she missed it... great thanks...

@itsbeenalongtime it was the second month for us x

@MrsC89 that makes it even worse that you'd already had a scan! Should they have been able to see that something was wrong at 7 weeks? I'm not sure how well developed they are at that stage. Worst case scenario if you can't get a scan on the the NHS you could maybe get a private one? I'm in the August birth club on baby centre (I'm right at the end of the month so people are up to 9 weeks) and loads of people have been getting private scans on there. It might be worth it for the peace of mind? X

So lovely to see BFPs! Can I be nosy and ask those of you who've got one recently how long you've been trying? I'm currently on cycle 3, day 22 of a fairly regular cycle. AF due on the 2nd/3rd of January.

@mrsio I don't think they will, I had a follow up appointment with the consultant after and she just put me on folic acid. She said it wasnt anything genetic just bad luck. When I go and see the GP I will for sure be asking if I'm getting anything extra, I dont want to get all the way to 12 weeks again and everything just fall apart! My GP is pretty good, I have zero trust in the hospital, but DH wants to give them a second chance. I had a scan at the EPU at 7 weeks and they said everything was all ok. Will try and persuade DH that we should change hospital this time 🤞

@MrsC89 I remember saying about your TFMR a couple of threads ago. I'm so sorry. I can't even imagine what it was like to go through something like that. Will they offer you an earlier scan this time do you think? X

@mrsio yes, it's my first, not my first pregnancy though. I had a TFMR back in August, as was carrying conjoined twins, with no chance of separation. I feel nauseous and have for the past 5 days, hence the urge to test! Last time I had terrible morning sickness that hit at 6 weeks and didnt stop until 11 weeks, nearly got hospitalised a few times! Think my drs surgery is a bit different, I will need to see a gp, they will then get the midwife to call me, didnt have my booking in until 10weeks

@GeminiCancer please do x

@Mrsio
Thank you for the advice. It always helps to have someone to talk to so I really appreciate your response.
I will wait and keep you updated. X

@GeminiCancer sorry I misread your first post. In that case it could be another pregnancy. I think the only way to be sure is to test every day or 2 to see if the line gets darker. I've got everything crossed for you 🤞🤞🤞

@mrsio
I stopped bleeding 10 days ago. I was given hospital clinitest hcg to test with. It has came up with 3 lines in the c window r window and t window.
I've dtd everyday since the bleeding stopped. The midwives said at the scan that I looked very fertile if I wanted to try again.
Thank you. Baby was unplanned but oh and I both got very excited and then were devastated to lose it.
Should I just wait another week or so and test again? X

@GeminiCancer I'm so sorry about your MC. Have I read correctly that you were bleeding until 4 days ago and have been DTD for 4 days? If so I would say that it couldn't be a new pregnancy as implantation takes a minimum of 6 days then you wouldn't get a positive test until at least 2-3 days after that x

@MrsC89 I'm 5 weeks today. I've just booked my first midwife appointment for 8th January so I think it's starting to feel real. I've still got zero symptoms so I keep forgetting 😂 last time they hit at about 6 weeks so that gives me another week before I feel like absolute crap for another 7+ months 😂
How are you feeling? Is it your first?
