@Rma13 hope all goes ok today for you.

Welcome @KatieFH

@Sakura54 that’s a good second line

@lauralozzle hopefully your static face might be today or tomorrow.

Lauralozzle · 25/06/2020 09:03

@Sakura54 no mistaking that at all! Congratulations (I hope I’m right thinking that’s a HCG test)

So many BFP on this thread

Flashing smiley opk today. Was flashing yesterday too so definitely truly in fertile week today.

Good luck today @Rma13

I started getting cramps last night, so there was no mistaking it.

Hi everyone my scan is tomorrow and I cant sleep I'm so nervous. I've obviously prepared myself that it will not show a baby but what if it did! Theres literally no reason for this post 🤦‍♀️ I just cant sleep and I'm anxious!

Suki2020 · 23/06/2020 23:04

Hey @Lauralozzle yeah another rise today so fingers crossed I have ovulated although my app says I haven’t yet so a little confused, but my cycle vary in length so much so it’s difficult to know. My OPK’s have gone back to 0 now so hopefully I have ovulated. How are you doing?

I’m late joining but wanted to be part of the journey! I’m 31 and 13DPO with cycle 1, had a very faint line a few days ago and BFN ever since. AF due Thursday. Losing hope each day & very bloated! Hope all you ladies are well & keeping fingers crossed for you all!

Lauralozzle · 23/06/2020 22:42

@Suki2020 those tests on the 21st look SO close! How was your temp today? Another rise?

Suki2020 · 22/06/2020 13:11

Hi ladies, how are you all? I’m after some advice, I’m not sure if I’ve just had a LH surge or if I’ve ovulated and missed my peak over the weekend. I had lots of EWCM sat evening and a temp drop yesterday and then it’s risen today. Last cycle I caught my peak on OPK’s which happened very quickly. I only had a surge last time for two days.

Thanks @notyetamumbuttrying @helia
I will update you when I'm brave enough to test, but will wait to see if AF shows first.

Lol I do have folic acid and vit D. I stopped taking folic acid when I hit 12 weeks 2 months ago and haven't been bothered since. Was going to start again once I got my 2nd AF, but took it yesterday.

helia · 21/06/2020 17:20

Sounds like it's time to order some more folic acid! I'm so sorry to hear about your MMC too.

As an aside, you can take folic acid when TTC. I've been taking pregnancy multivitamins for a good few months now - they are suitable for TTC as well and it's an easy way of getting vit D too! Tommy's recommends to start taking folic acid tablets two months before you stop contraception/start trying, I think.

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/06/2020 17:07

Eek @Sakura54! Best of luck for when you do test! Hopefully everything works out fine! Thanks

Sakura54 · 21/06/2020 17:02

So something interesting happened. I’m on CD 28 so AF is due any day now, but just now I felt like I was going to faint, I’m dizzy and my stomach hurt when I moved/sneezed. These were some of my pregnancy symptoms last time. I wasn’t ready this month due to using a new eczema cream, not to mention I’ve been using a nose spray for hay fever and haven’t been taking folic acid! I didn’t think I would ovulate so soon after the MMC and was only half TTC. I’m too scared to test and don’t want to see a confusing result so might give it a few days. Oh boy!

helia · 21/06/2020 15:52

Congratulations, @peonyrose87.

I'm on the fourth day of my cycle now (this will be our first one trying). I'm nervous!

Rma13 · 21/06/2020 13:16

Thank you @notyetamumbuttrying I'm so nervous but I guess either way I'll finally get an answer!!

notyetamumbuttrying · 21/06/2020 12:19

Enjoy FW, @Lauralozzle
I'm ovulating today so will be in tww tomorrow.
Yay @Rma13 good news! Really hope it goes well for you. Keep us updated!

Rma13 · 21/06/2020 12:07

@Lauralozzle thank you! I've just found out my scan is on Thursday so I guess I'll be getting some answers then!

Peach1204 · 21/06/2020 10:36

@Lauralozzle thank you so much! Xxx

Lauralozzle · 21/06/2020 10:07

@Peach1204 congratulations 🥳 that’s great news.

@peonyrose87 congratulations 🥳

There are so many BFP on this thread.

@Rma13 I hope you can get a scan soon so you know what is happening. It’s very confusing.

AF has stopped now, my fertile week should start this week. We’re off work this week, so I’m hoping that we can relax and have fun - no stressing (which is easier said than done).

Rma13 · 20/06/2020 17:09

@Sakura54 apparently shes referred me for an "urgent" scan but due to Covid they are taking a while! Honestly I've got a proper lump, if I was thin I'd swear it's a baby bump! But I am quite over weight so you cant really see it just feel it! It's so odd!!

Sakura54 · 20/06/2020 15:18

@peonyrose87 wow, that long for AF and ovulation...It's amazing that you caught straightaway after what you've been through and all that waiting. Hope you will get your rainbow this time.

My first AF came a month after my MVA and 2nd one is due next week so I've just been patiently waiting. No idea if/when I ovulated so I’m just going to go with the flow (no pun intended) for about 6 months before worrying/wondering.

@rma13 it still sounds like you're pregnant to me. When is the GP going to see you again or are they referring you elsewhere? It's odd that they said it could be menopause seeing as this happened with your DC too.

peonyrose87 · 19/06/2020 20:23

@Sakura54 🤞🏻 your cycles get back to normal soon. It took ten weeks for me to have a period after my MMC and then I didn't ovulate until my fourth (which was this one).

Rma13 · 19/06/2020 20:15

Congratulations @peonyrose87!!

Can anyone give me some advice? So I still have no sign of AF and today in my lower abdomen is a weird shaped hard lump? Like I'm freaking out guys!

Sakura54 · 19/06/2020 20:04

Congrats @peonyrose87 I stopped taking folic acid after my MMC, but will probably start again soon. Just waiting for my 2nd AF to hopefully come on time and cycles to regulate.
