August might be pact might be madness part 2

@Sansa87 at this stage symptoms can come and go so please try and stay positive, although I know it's easier said than done. Hoping everything is ok for you and you manage to enjoy your few days away x

@kirinm Thankyou ❤️ I’ve woken up with constant cramping still, tbough nothing on the pad.

However my boobs aren’t hurting at all, & no sicknesS, so almost seems exactly like last time. Only difference is this is a week earlier than July.

@Sansa87 sorry to hear you've had some more brown discharge. I had that feeling like it was all over when I was pregnant with my DD. By that time I'd had 5 miscarriages and bled heavily. Obviously I was wrong. It is totally natural that your instinct is to think the worst - I think it is self preservation. I would maybe contact your EPU once you're back and ask for a reassurance scan. I'm not sure how many EPUs are offering them as I had heard covid meant EPU are offering a reduced service but it is definitely worth asking for one. Fingers crossed for you.

I really hope so @claireb707!

@claireb707 ooh exciting!!!

Aww @claireb707 Happy anniversary! That’s a lovely picture ☺️ Maybe he thinks an anniversary is too cliche for a proposal and he will do it when you least expect it 😏

@LeopardLover Mine are just like a dull ache too. I thought I’d never had them this early before but looked over the notes I kept from last month and apparently I had them at 6/7DPO then so it doesn’t seem to mean anything 😕 I don’t wear a Fitbit but I bought one for DH for his birthday, might have to pinch it overnight!

@MrsB2019x So my cramps felt just like pre-AF pains. A dull ache first, then just before AF was due we had that big storm... It was like thunder and lightning in my uterus! So strong and sharp it woke me up in the night which is why I was convinced AF was due. I definitely dismissed the thought of a BFP due to all the cramping in the run up - so this could be a good sign for you! Do you wear a fitbit? I didn't take the thread on the link between BFP and RHR seriously, but after getting mine I realised my RHR shot up dramatically after conception!

@SS123456 Happy Anniversary! This is such a cute photo. Sorry DH is struggling and no ring ye..... but there's time. Took my DH 10 years 😅💍

@claireb707 happy anniversary! It's our 5 years this year as well and I don't think there will be a ring haha.

I don't really understand temping but a dip could be implantation at this stage right? Fingers crossed for you x

@Sansa87 If you are concerned give EPU a ring in the morning, they will know your history and will be able to reassure you 💙

@LeopardLover Can I ask what was your cramping like? Mine has been from 5dpo, quite low down and only in the mornings?🤨

@Sansa87 Hope you're okay. 💖 I had the stitch like pain early on, and as you've said light brown discharge happens to many. Sending you lots of positive vibes! Xx

Thanks @whambam89 ❤️

@Sansa87 my best friend had a miscarriage earlier in the year and then had bleeding in her current pregnancy, she was sure it was over again as she had bleeding on 3 occasions. She's now almost 20 weeks and everything is fine - hopefully that gives you some reassurance x

Feels like I have a stitch in my vagina, like it’s gone on a long run, & there was watery brown discharge when I wiped 😔

Feeling really worried, & now worries I’m going to sodding mc in a cottage in the West Country, with five of OH’s family members 😔

I thought a second mc in row was really uncommon.

I know this can still be a sign of pg, & not all that uncommon, I can’t explain it thought, I feel like last time, that I know it’s done.

I’m pretty sure “the pact” was not to obsess over symptoms and not test early, so you guys are doing great.

I think I started testing 9dpo and had that shadow that probably wasn’t a shadow, & just a coincidence.

Proud of you girls though!

@whambam89 I started at 8DPO last cycle 🙄 but not even tempted until next weekend. Just don’t want more disappointment I think 😕

@krj2608 so sorry to hear about your MMC, hope you're doing ok ❤️

@MrsB2019x I find the first week is the easiest to resist testing, it's the second week that's the hardest haha... Good luck!!

@Sansa87 Hope you have a lovely break! Think a private scan will be a good idea to put your mind at rest. Your symptoms sound good though!

Sorry to hear about your MMC @krj2608 💙 Hope you are being well looked after x

Officially halfway through the 2WW and haven’t even thought about testing yet 🤨 hopefully I can hold out until next weekend!

Thanks @Sansa87. I think all your signs sound so positive this time. You’ll have to stay and send us a pic from that scan!!!

I’ve had my day of feeling rubbish, af here in full flow so now planning for this month. I had planned to be much more relaxed last month but the late ovulation meant I got caught up testing and tracking. I will still do temp and opk this month but I’m def going for a more relaxed approach (that’s the plan anyway 😂)

Morning ladies, I'm back to join you all again!

I had a mmc and had medical management on Tuesday which worked. Currently waiting for the bleeding to stop and will wait for period and then try again. After two back to back miscarriages I think I need to wait a month. Hope you are all well x

Morning girls! Last day at work before I’m in a cottage with oh & 5 of his family 😩 so nervous! I love his parents, & cousin, but I’ve only met his uncle and auntie a couple of times. We were all supposed to be going to Croatia tomorrow, so Chippenham is a bit different 😂

I’m still feeling overly crampy, but my boobs do hurt, so that’s new for this pg. I’m bleeding hasn’t started by the end of the holiday, I’m going to book a private scan. At least oh can definitely be in those with me, so if it’s bad news, I’ll have him there this time.

How are you all feeling today? X

@MrsB2019x @whambam89 thank you! I am feeling much better today thankfully 😊

So sorry @LT103 lots of love xxx
