I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@Mommybear05 yeah I think I'm going to do that. Last time I was there, my doctor said it may take 6 weeks for AF to arrive. I really hope that's not the case! Xx

Mommybear05 · 20/04/2020 19:09

@Rainbowhope11 I know it’s so annoying second guessing everything l the while! Maybe when they give you more tests you could ask the question? X

Rainbowhope11 · 20/04/2020 19:02

@Mommybear05 I'm not sure, I've been reading conflicting reports of ovulating with Hcg in your system. Some people say that they have ovulated with Hcg under 100 in their systems, and some say Hcg needs to be below 10 to ovulate. Unless my body tried to ovulate and it didn't work, and it's trying again now? Gosh this is driving me insane!

Mommybear05 · 20/04/2020 18:58

@Rainbowhope11 those symptoms seem so strange. All the cm seems a bit weird do u think you could have ovulated when you had all that ewcm two weeks ago? It’s good you have more tests coming up x

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 18:24

@Renna .. i know, trying to not get myself down over it tbh as everyone is in the same boat arnt they! Had the odd bike ride which i love when its sunny x

I dnt get AF symtoms really, maybe a bit of dull tummy ache and backache but thats about it, i dnt get sore boobs etc like alot of people do. But the pains iv been getting have been little tiny stabby pains on the left side and thats loterally it symtoms wise and headache but im like u and on my laptop non stop all day, hardly even take a break xx

Wont u do a cheapy early ?? X

Rainbowhope11 · 20/04/2020 17:52

Ladies, hope you are all okay 😊 I'm on day 29 post MC (23 March) and no sign of AF yet. My hpts are now extremely faint/non existent unless I leave it for more than recommended time. My Obgyn did say that Hcg will still probably be present in blood even though I may have a negative Hpt. I have another follow up blood test on Wednesday to check my levels again.

Anyway, I had a ton of EWCM about two weeks ago, and dh and I started dtd. My cm become creamy again, and then turned into this thick, clear/whitish gloopy stuff, like a really thick ewcm (I've only ever had that when I was pregnant). About two days ago, I started getting more EWCM, like tons of it. And from yesterday I've been having a weird pressure in my pelvic area, on the right side and an upset tummy. Last night when Dh and I were watching a movie, I started to feel hot, to the point where my body was sweating, even my legs! This is so strange. My cheap OPKs have gotten lighter, it says I'm not ovulating. But clear blue says peak (although it's been saying peak eve since I miscarries so it's unreliable) Do you think I'm ovulating now on day 29?? I'm really confused! These are not normal AF signs for me, but perhaps things are so messed up after the miscarriage?

Renna · 20/04/2020 17:34

@Niisa waiting out this long ass week with me then 🤣🙄 dragging already lol .. I am getting fed up with thinking about it all too much now though.. feel like need to switch my brain off but it's on over drive 😴 probably why I've had a banging head ache today xx hope af stays away for u xx

@Hayleylou89 omg I feel the same . I usually go to the gym 4 / 5 times a week. Trying to work out at home isnt the same and I hate running and I tried starting few weeks ago and it brought on spotting just before AF and made me crampy so made me worry it affects things so I was like nope not gonna be doing running lol. Not felt myself since before being pregnant either. And just feel extra fat today 🙄😓 x x
How you feeling ? Any suggestions af coming or the bloating etc gone now ? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 17:22

@Renna i feel so big you know, my bingo wings are growing im so used to going the gym like 5 / 6 times a week and iv piled the weight on since the baby...i lost it all soon as i had it with the stresses of everything it fell off me but now its just piling on ... and as im not exercising hardly iv got muffin tops, big boobs that im not used too and bingo wings 🙈😂... Keep saying ill be pregnant soon so who cares but what if im dont and just get fat for no reason 🤦🏽‍♀️ ... if AF arrives im going on outside jogs and eating so well before next cycle x x

Niisa · 20/04/2020 16:28

@Renna I’ll wait until the 28th then test as my period USUALLY comes on the 27th - but not sure what my cycle is gonna be like now. Even my MC started on 27th March so maybe my body will stick to that date lol Confused

Renna · 20/04/2020 15:53

@Hayleylou89 feeling hot flustered fat and headachey. Had like sharp stabbing pain in my head earlier and now like constant headache.. and couple odd niggly pains in lower stomach..
BUUUT as we know could be anything !? could be the skype conference calls this afternoon haha... zzZZ.
With AF due Sunday I wouldn't normally get any AF symptoms until literally like the day before .. I don't get AF symptoms long before its due so anything now is either making me think they are positive signs or just coincidences. Deffo feeling impatient wanting this week to hurry up now.
Even though I said I wont check CP any more... that lasted like a day … checked it earlier and mine is high too … but again who knows what that means .. so dunno why I bothered hah.
Im feeling positive for you .. I think you may be surprised - just because its happened differently before … AF still no show and you've had some good signs … XX positive vibes !

@Niisa fingers crossed for you xx will you test or just wait to see if AF shows ? xx

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 15:14

@francis05 yeah it was me with the bleeding gums and its not happened since either...so strange!

Im not feeling much really just the odd little pokey stabby pain left side low down, my nipples are looking quite big compared to what they normally look like but i dnt really know of theyve changed from the pregnancy xx this week needs to hurry up and fly by 🙄 l!!

i think ur tingly nipples are a good sign iv heard loads of Ppl get bfp after that as a symptom 🙏 such a shame u cant upload pics have u tried doing it via the app or the web page instead (whatever one are u using) try and upload using the alternative x

Niisa · 20/04/2020 14:49

Hello ladies! I hope you’re all well! I’ve been wondering where you all disappeared to - I’ve not been receiving email notifications rolls eyes

But I’ve caught up and FC for all you who have not yet received your BFPs! I’m currently on CD25 post MC and AF is due tomorrow according to my app. Not sure tho because my cycles are pre-MC were very regular and were usually 28/29 days - so tomorrow would be too soon.

@francis05 really praying you get your BFP xx

francis05 · 20/04/2020 14:42

@Hayleylou89 my phone doesn't let me upload photos 😔 my cp was also really high that I couldn't touch it first thing but has dropped slightly since. Also had bleeding gums this morning... @Hayleylou89 was it you that had bleeding gums last week? Have you had any other symptoms?
It's annoying that the test line came up after the 10 mins otherwise I would definitely believe it x

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 14:27

@renna how r u feeling? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 14:26

@Renna not going to try frer unless i see a faint ic 🙈 i know frer's are more sensitive but still dnt want to waste them xxx my cp is so high today that i cnt even feel it but dnt know if that means anything really xx

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 13:39

Ahh @francis05 put a little pic up of ur test 🙏 hope its a positive for u... my cp is so high i cnt even feel it and its squishy inside im not even get a faint line on the ic's so there is defo hope for
U xxx

francis05 · 20/04/2020 12:22

@SmileyT thank you, going to have a day of testing tomorrow then maybe try a frer on Wednesday 🤞

SmileyT · 20/04/2020 12:01

@francis05 Mine was strong when I had hcg in my system aswell so definitely a good sign I think seen as AF hasn't arrived, sorry didn't mean it can't be a good thing was just saying I don't always understand them 🙈 I'm feeling okay just focussed on getting AF out of the way and really attacking this month. Please stay positive I'd love to see a +ve for you in a couple days x

francis05 · 20/04/2020 10:34

@SmileyT ah that's annoying about it being dark a day before af, I was feeling midly confident until you mentioned that 🙈 got tingly and itchy nipples this morning, cp was quite high first thing too.
How are you feeling? X

SmileyT · 20/04/2020 10:14

@francis05 ahh you are definitely still in it if the IC showed a pink line but I'd never trust it after the timeframe for certain. You are still only 28days post MC so I'd probably wait until Wednesday or Thursday before checking again because you'll still be super early and don't want to waste your last FRER. No idea what hormones the opks pick up but I know they can pick up hcg, mine was dark post MC when hcg still in my system but also was dark the day before AF for me. Have you had any other symptoms? Feeling confident?

francis05 · 20/04/2020 10:03

My opk is alot darker today too, not quite as dark as the control line but definitely dhe darkest it has ever been.

francis05 · 20/04/2020 09:35

@Hayleylou89 I'm inclined to trust ic's as had my bfp on it in Jan but you never know if you have a bad batch.
Not sure about my cycles pre mc, came off the pill in Sept 19 but didn't get af between then and getting my positive beginning of Jan. Hoping the mc will have reset my cycles. Didn't have a clue that I ovulated over xmas but must be a good sign that we caught the egg despite relaxing and not really 'trying'

Hayleylou89 · 20/04/2020 09:30

@francis05 yeah its hard after mc to know when itll come but hopefully it stays away yeah used ic and frer on friday and bfn and today just IC as i dnt want to waste another frer if i literally dnt see anything on a ic xx will use an frer thursday if AF doesnt arrive.. my app predicts itll arrive weds but that would be unusual as its usually today at cd 35 or cd 38 dead on xx both still in for now ... my cycle after my loss was on 1 day longer so it didnt throw me off too much what were urs pre mc? X

francis05 · 20/04/2020 09:21

So the plot thickens, I've just had another look at the test I did this morning, happened to press on the end that soaks up the urine and it seemed to allow more to soak up...now I can see a faint but definitely there pink line?! When I did the test I did think that it may not have soaked up properly but the contol line came up so thought all fine!! Ahhh not sure whether to do a frer or wait until the morning!

Mommybear05 · 20/04/2020 08:52

@Hayleylou89 aw I see what you mean with longer cycles. Waiting can be so frustrating too. But a long cycle is still a cycle so you still have your chances. I really hope you get a bfp this month x
