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!

@Hayleylou89 how many dpo are you now? Did you use fmu?

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 13:52

@francis05 ahh did you!! Have u not tested today? Xx

francis05 · 23/04/2020 13:47

I'm still waiting to test, had a vvvfl on a frer yesterday but not convinced. Feeling less positive by the day, really hope I don't have to join the may thread 😔

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 13:32

@Renna when r u going to test next? I feel so fed up today 😔 bound to though... would just rather AF arrive now rather than taunt me x x

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 13:31

Yeah who else in this thread is waiting to test .. come on we need atleast one bfp in here 🤞🏻 xx

Renna · 23/04/2020 13:20

@Hayleylou89 ah I see what you mean . The back pain eased a bit already after paracetamol and one of my antibiotic tablets so may be easing it already if it is the infection. So it probably is symptoms from an infection and I'm symptom spotting for pg 🙄 sorry your test was not a BFP 😓 but I hope you relax now and next month is your month if it's not to be this month 🌈💞 I also hope to not be joining the may bus but I'm not very hopeful ... ill keep you posted x x weve not had any BFPs in this thread have we ?? 😶😥 hopefully we get one before the end of april !
Is there many more ladies waiting for AF /testing in April? Xx

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 12:53

Caved and did a FRER just to put my crazy optimistic mind at rest and it was bfn ... hopefully AF will come soon now iv seen that my body might relax and she might show and i can move on ... just jumped on the TTC May bus and in the nicest possible way i hope i dnt see u there... however ill be staying on here to see if any of u get ur BFPS 🤞🏻🌈 xx

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 12:16

@Renna thanks u xx

I meant with the pain being in your lower back then that wont be uti as my pains with my uti where higher near where my kidneys are so maybe it is pregnancy related backache 🙏 x x

Renna · 23/04/2020 11:31

@hayleylou89 Managed to get my antibiotics from pharmacy.. I said we were TTC and they said they're okay to take . They gave me a weeks worth .. take 1 twice a day and said if I feel better after like 3 or 4 days I dont need to finish the packet ... which I thought was strange . Yeah my pains are lower back so I'm now thinking maybe these symptoms are not pg related but to do with having an infection 😓 just gonna wait until Sunday to see if AF shows. Like you I'll be able to tell with BBT as my temp still high at the mo so if that drops all of a sudden I'll know AF coming.
Wow that's crazy that your necklace arrived , so lovely you were able to have her there with you and always now xx

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 10:57

@Donnat89 your doing all u can and it will happen!! 🌈

@Ejb86

Basically they havnt done the full reivew yet but i didnt qualify for preterm labour route cos i had only 1 lletz treatment and it was 9mm tissue removed, the guidlines say 10mm or more and you get referred...and they dnt count the biopsies i had ontop of that apparently they dont count even though it was another 6mm of tissue taken 😒, they are still investigating why my waters broke ... was it an infection first in my blood or infection cos my cervix was weak and it got into my womb... thats the main thing they need to find out, they dont routinley check ur cervix in a normal pregnancy only if ur referred to preterm labour consultant... which i didnt “qualify” for becuase of 1 tiny millimetre basically!! but the only thing they can do is when im pregnant again ill go down the preterm labour route where they will measure my cervix at 16 weeks and if its shortened they will either put me on hormones or give me a stitch ... so if i end up preganant and i need either of them things... then we know exactly why we lost Bonnie basically it was cos my cervix was wesk and i didnt get put down the preterm labour route as i didnt "qualify" xx

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 10:46

@Hayleylou89 hope the meeting went well , well you know as well as it can go and you got some answers .

I'm gutted but I can't do anything about it , we are going to try the SMEP plan this month and I've ordered a Femometer kit so will see how we get on ! X

Ejb86 · 23/04/2020 10:27

@Hayleylou89 how did it go? Did you get any answers? X

@Donnat89 so sorry ur heading to the may bus... im the same i keep checking to see if AF has arrived .. iv kept a sample of fmu and just dnt know whether to test with frer and be dissapointed iv just had bonnies review and its so wierd that her necklace with her ashes arrived 15 mins before my consultant meeting so i had it on during the meeting its so wierd as i ordered it back in feb and it arrived just 15 min before my meeting about her 🙏 ... dnt want to tarnish how i feel with a bfn but what is its a bfp too 🙄 doubt it because the cheapy was bfn this morning x

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 10:14

@renna hey lovely ... yes i did take them i needed too and mines gone now... i googled them and they are safe to have even if pregnant... why dont u do a test though as ur symtoms seem very pg related but use an frer as its less than 6 days before AF for u now ? Xx my backache with my infection was middle of my back at the side as thats where ur kidneys are x x

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 09:59

@Renna thanks it's an odd one may be a chemical so I can deaL with that and hope the next one sticks !

On the May bus I go ! X

Renna · 23/04/2020 09:09

Sorry @Donnat89 😓 so strange you deffo had lines on that test so you werent imagining that as we all saw it 😘 xxx sending hugs and if this isnt your month I'm praying next month is xxxxx

Renna · 23/04/2020 09:08

Morning all xxx

My lower back pain has got worse today 😓 its continuous whereas last few days it's been on and off . It's really low in my back just above my butt. And I do feel nauseous but I dont know if that's the pain making me feel sick.
I've called GP surgery nurse called back and has prescribed me nitrofurantoin (which I think is Macrobid like you had @Hayleylou89.. did you take yours in the end ? And I told her were TTC so need pg friendly antibiotics!)

Of course I've googled lower back pain before getting BFP .... and people have had this!...
But I've also googled symptoms of UTI /kidney infection and says if it goes to your kidneys ... which isnt good.. can be lower back pain !
So I was going to hold off getting antibiotics until I knew if AF came Sunday but probably should get some now instead of making myself ill if it is that !

Hows is everyone this morning xx
Xx

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 08:53

@francis05 no I haven't bothered as I'm
Convinced this is AF , I've just gone to the loo again about an hour after I first checked and now bright red blood when I wipe still nothing in underwear so I've put a pad in should be full by the time I check next so think I'm defo out now . Don't know if it was a dodgy test or a chemical but not my month this month !
Xxx

francis05 · 23/04/2020 08:46

@Donnat89 have you managed to do another test?

Donnat89 · 23/04/2020 08:32

Morning ladies , no AF this morning but still a bit of spotting I'm so confused 😐

francis05 · 23/04/2020 08:31

Bfn on my last IC this morning, not even a sniff of a line!!

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 07:55

@Happyasbarry hey..im gd how r you!?

Iv got 3 FRERs and a clear blue ... and more cheapies so im stocked up but i honestly dnt want to waste them... did a cheapy this morning and nothing...i just think AF is coming and last month i did an FRER the morning of the day she was due and she appeared about 3 hours later, my bodys telling me shes coming, not pain wise but temp dropping so ill listen to that before testing and if no AF by tomorrow ill test then ... last month though my cycle was a day longer so still cant really get a little excited until tomorrow is over and done with xxx

Where are u upto so far? X x

Happyasbarry · 23/04/2020 07:46

@Hayleylou89 Hi! How is it going? I was getting very faint results on the cheapie ones but much darker on the expensive ones. Have you got any in of those? I bought mine from Amazon prime x

Hayleylou89 · 23/04/2020 07:21

Goodluck @Donnat89 with ur testing.... i havnt even got out of bed yet but my temps dropped way below the cover line so i know AF is coming 👎 gutted, but kinda knew it. X

Donnat89 · 22/04/2020 21:47

@Bellabubble my fingers are crossed for you as well , it's so annoying but nothing we can do what will be will be xxx
