We’re nearly full so made us another thread!

How is everyone?

I’m 6DPO CD31.. going to be a 40+ day cycle.. as if 30 doesn’t feel long enough!! Nothing to report aside from that.

@littlebee1990 I have everything crossed for you and glad your partner can be there with you.

I am 10dpo absolutely no symptoms of AF or anything else . AF is due on Saturday so think ill wait to see if AF shows before testing.

Littlebee1990 · 23/09/2020 11:41

Thank you all.
I’ve told my mum and also told my dad (they’re not together) it’s really not how I dreamt of telling them.. twice ☹️

I’ve moved my early scan to 29th September so my partner will he with me, if it’s bad news I want to know together and not alone on the 6th x

Thank you @Nottherealslimshady @dogmam 🥰
I didn't follow it to the letter - but we did managed three days before peak, day before peak and day of peak and DTD whenever we fancied in between - until three days after ovulation. Since then I've been a bit less interested 🤣

dogmam · 22/09/2020 19:48

@mrswilso ahhh amazing!! So pleased for you! Did you follow SMEP or anything or literally just DTD around ovulation?

@littlebee1990 I'm really sorry you're going through such a crap time. I hope you and your other half can look after each other during this next two weeks. Have you told any of your family?

@kalecat I can see something on the IC, when is AF due?

CD4 here and have started listening to the BFN podcast which is really interesting and quite funny, it's kept me entertained whilst walking the dog anyway!

Hope everyone is ok x

Nottherealslimshady · 22/09/2020 19:45

Yes! @mrswilso congratulations! 💕

Wishing all the best @Littlebee1990 for your little one x

I do see lines @Kalecat hoping they get darker 🤞

mrswilso · 22/09/2020 19:41

Aah thank you so much girls 💕
This is cycle 6 off the pill @Whilstwewait
It's also been my least restrictive, most relaxed cycle too - although I've stayed off caffeine and kept my fruit and veg intake up.
We timed DTD really well (by accident - I tried to take the pressure off of him this month too) and I did hips up under a pillow in fertile week.
Now to hope and pray little bub sticks ✨

Whilstwewait · 22/09/2020 17:45

@mrswilso aw amazing news that's a fab line. You must be so chuffed. How long were you trying for?

@kalecat I can see something on the cheap one. Fingers crossed for you

@littlebee1990 I've replied to you on the May 2021 thread but didn't want to read and run on here. Thinking of you xx

1992EM · 22/09/2020 17:43

@mrswilso congratulations. What an amazing line💕

@kalecat hopefully you get a definite answer in the next few days.

@littlebee1990 I am so sorry. I really hope this turns out well . You must be so worried 💕

Littlebee1990 · 22/09/2020 17:42

Congrats ladies, both look like good BFPS!

Thank you.. keep everything crossed for me, 2 weeks of fear and zero excitement here I come 😫

@Littlebee1990 I'm so sorry!! I whole everything turns out 🤍
@mrswilso yay!!! Congrats! 🥳
@1992EM I'll attach the tests I took yesterday in the late afternoon. I'm going to take another ClearBlue after I do a 4 hour hold later today.
FRER was negative yesterday which doesn't make any sense considering it should be more sensitive than CB and dollar store. I've been seeing really bad reviews on FRER lately. The most recent batch is giving terrible indent lines and isn't as sensitive.

Had some pain and was sent for an early scan and I’m so worried. I’m measuring between 5.5-6 weeks (as expected) and they found a yolk sak and a baby however she told me that the heartbeat is lower than they’d like to see, could MC in next 2 weeks.. want me back for another scan in 2 weeks. I’m petrified 😩

1992EM · 22/09/2020 16:16

@kalecat did you test again ? X

Littlebee1990 · 21/09/2020 18:53

@Kalecat I’m sorry but I can’t see any colour on it but I can see what you see but just not sure if there’s colour. Hoping it’s the BFP you want xx

Littlebee1990 · 21/09/2020 18:52

@Flittingaboutagain Hey, I’m so sorry to hear about your MMC.. it’s a big fear of mine and I’m so so so sorry you’ve gone through this ❤️ Thank you also for being so kind and your lovely message, I’m anxious and worried but can’t live life in fear eh! I’m rooting for you and a BFP xx

Kalecat · 21/09/2020 18:51

Ugh. Now that it's dried I see something 🙄 of course could be an evap line. I hate the uncertainty 😂

Hi Littlebee and all,

I am tentatively re-starting TTC after my missed miscarriage at 12 weeks (I had a BFP in the June thread). I don't think I will have an early scan again by choice after seeing my baby at 6 then 9 weeks and seeing a heartbeat made it all so real and I was reassured by all the professionals after my ectopic admission at 6 weeks that after a HB going strong at 9 weeks it would be fine! I really hate the way they make it real with booking in appts, booking a home visit for after 12 weeks, and tests etc. Next time I will decline all of it until my 12 week scan as I wasn't having the thalassemia test anyway.

Littlebee congrats! I was on the thread before when you had a BFP then sadly a loss. Really want to reassure you that the midwife said to me about 20% women have no symptoms until 20 weeks and some have almost nothing throughout! So just because you don't feel pregnant doesn't mean those cells aren't turning into a baby that is going to come in May 2021! It is OK to be cautiously optimistic, but I know it is hard!

1992EM · 21/09/2020 18:05

I can see something. Hopefully it is a line 👍 x

Kalecat · 21/09/2020 17:53

Oops posted the blurry one. This one is more clear.

Kalecat · 21/09/2020 17:52

@1992EM Decided not to use an FRER today. Just used a dollar store test. Looks like indent to me 🙄

1992EM · 21/09/2020 17:08

How did you get on @Kalecat?

How is everyone doing ?

Nothing exciting to report here just waiting for AF day to come or hopefully not come .

1992EM · 20/09/2020 17:55

@kalecat if I wasn't in work I would be the same . My view is if I am pregnant I will find out when AF is due and be closer to when I can get a scan. if I am not then as least I have a few extra days of hope 🤣 that's what I keep telling myself anyway

Kalecat · 20/09/2020 17:52

@1992EM me too! 🤞🏼 wish I had your kind of patience 🤣

1992EM · 20/09/2020 17:43

@kalecat I hope tomorrow's frer shows a second line 💕.

Kalecat · 20/09/2020 17:35

Hello ladies 🤍 how is everyone? I couldn't resist using a cheapie this morning lol. 9dpo, may be the start of something - who knows. Looks similar to the line I got at 10dpo before my CP. Going to use FRER in the morning and if negative I'm going to just wait for AF.
