So the premom app says this is "low" but I'd say it was pretty close to peak.. what do people think?

Day 8 of flashing smiley for me now... We've DTD every other day of flashing smileys so far but not sure how much longer I can persuade my OH to keep going 😂 cheapy OPKs have arrived this morning so will do one this PM and see if that gives any more insight!

whambam89 · 01/09/2020 12:23

@Sansa87 I had brown discharge and cramps with DD, I really panicked and they actually agreed to scan me at 5 weeks - all was fine (and she's now a healthy, very fiesty almost 3 year old!) Everything crossed for you! X

As for me, no AF so I guess it's just a case of waiting it out. I had what felt like either ovulation pains or AF pains yesterday so I might do an ovulation test just to check. If I am ovulating, the chances of us DTD are slim to none!

kirinm · 01/09/2020 08:40

I suspect at this early stage the midwife won't be able to do much. Due to my history, the EPU agreed to scan me at 5w. They couldn't see much but I went back about 4 days later and they saw a heartbeat so maybe your midwife will facilitate that.

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 08:22

I’ve just text my midwife from my last pregnancy. Not sure if I’m allowed as such, as sure her offer was only to talk about that pregnancy, but hopefully she can advise.

The last time it happened the doctor said I was being a bit of a hypochondriac (in a funny way) but turned out I was right. Unfortunately that’s just made me think every worry I have must be right

MrsB2019x · 01/09/2020 08:14

@Sansa87 As the others have said I’m sure it’s okay, the pains are probably your uterus stretching. Can totally understand why you’re worried though, pregnancy after loss must be nervewracking x

@stickytoffeepud1991 I wasn’t going to because I’ve got so much going on with the house but ended up caving at CD14 and doing OPKs. I don’t bother doing BBT though because it mashes my head a bit 😂

LT103 · 01/09/2020 08:05

@Sansa87 I’ve never been pregnant so hard to advise you but I’ve heard lots of people saying they spotted in pregnancy so it could be absolutely normal. Good that there’s been no more! Thinking of you, hope it’s all ok.

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 08:00

Thanks @kirinm

I have felt slightly sick since being at work, which I’m holding onto. I never knew I’d be so desperate to feel sick.

I’ve never known a successful pregnancy so my mind has automatically gone to bad stuff.

I hope you’re feeling a little better ❤️

kirinm · 01/09/2020 07:52

@Sansa87 brown discharge could very well be old blood from implantation that is working it's way out of your body. But having had multiple miscarriages, I know it's hard to believe anything positive will result when you've seen blood. With my DD who was two over the weekend, I bled heavily for 17 weeks - I was hospitalised twice due to the amount of blood lost - 2 pints. Spotting doesn't necessarily mean anything. Fingers crossed for you that there's no more.

Sansa87 · 01/09/2020 05:16

Feeing a bit bleh. On the all home from work yesterday had some slightly more painful cramps, and then some brown discharge last night.

Nothing on my knickers this morning, or when I wipe, but it’s like I’ve been punched in the uterus, but the first has stayed there... it the only way I can describe it.

Too scared to move atm, and feel a bit dead inside, which I know seems very dramatic.

Of course I told the boss we we were pregnant again only yesterday, so I’m also feeling a bit embarrassed If this one has turned into a chemical. 😢

stickytoffeepud1991 · 31/08/2020 23:22

@MrsB2019x I’m hoping so but I know we will probably be able to do it maybe once/twice whilst over there in fertile window .. hoping for more otherwise husbands balls dragging on floor As they haven’t been emptied! 😂😂 thanks lovely I’m looking forward to it! Off work for 3 weeks!!

Eek exciting! Did you track or do anything this month?? Xx

MrsB2019x · 31/08/2020 23:14

@stickytoffeepud1991 Maybe not tracking will make you relax a bit more? I tried doing that this month, didn’t work 😂 hope you have a lovely holiday! I’m newly into 2WW, 1DPO today x

stickytoffeepud1991 · 31/08/2020 23:08

Evening everyone,
Sorry I have been a bit MIA. Nothing exciting to report as I had AF last week. 5 days late ffs which means my cycle was 33 days.
We go on hol this Saturday - ovia says I’m due to ovulate at some point next week ?? Don’t know how we are going to bang dance when our 3 year old is ever present 😂. I hate the time between AF and Ovulation.. plus not taking any opks with me so will just have to hope for the best 🤷🏼‍♀️.

Massive congratulations @Sansa87 so happy for you. Got everything crossed for you!!

How is everyone else Doing any 2ww?? Xxx

MrsB2019x · 31/08/2020 13:51

@kirinm Oh bless you, sounds so rough. Maybe take a month off to completely right yourself then you may be in a better frame of mind to start again. I don’t think you’ll ever stop worrying though, completely understandable!

@LT103 I have no idea what charts mean haha but this month seems to be crazy for all of us

kirinm · 31/08/2020 13:13

@MrsB2019x I'm feeling a lot better thanks. Still feel very tired but my liver function tests show an improvement and I don't have a temperature anymore (I basically had one for 3 weeks Sad) so all in all, feeling okay. Not sure what to do about ttc. The hospital said my immune system would've been suppressed by the chemical pregnant which gave the dormant viral infection the opportunity to attack so slightly terrified another chemical could result in me feeling awful for another month.

LT103 · 31/08/2020 12:48

This is a crazy month for everyone’s cycle.
I got my peak a week late and temp rose like I ovulated. But now 7/8 dpo and last 3 days temp fallen right down. No idea what’s happening. I usually spot a few days before af and none yet so I’ll take that as a good sign but no idea if I even ovulated now

BabyH88 · 31/08/2020 12:25

@MrsB2019x I will let you know as soon as I test thank you for the support xx

MrsB2019x · 31/08/2020 12:20

@BabyH88 Sounds promising, keep us posted 🤞

BabyH88 · 31/08/2020 11:31

@MrsB2019x no as I didn't have any FRER so have ordered some they should come today or tomorrow. The spotting/light period has stopped which is weird for me as it is usually heavy.

MrsB2019x · 31/08/2020 11:09

What’s in the air this month?! I have ran out of OPK’s now and not going to bother ordering anymore so hope the peak I had was the real one 😂

How are you doing now @kirinm?

Have you tested this morning @BabyH88?

whambam89 · 31/08/2020 10:20

@claireb707 not sure what's going on with us all this month! I had loads of EWCM this morning but still no peak and I'm CD18 today! Only got 3 clearblue sticks left as well 🤦🏻‍♀️ might have to order some cheapies just in case I run out!

claireb707 · 31/08/2020 09:39

Still not sure if I've ovulated or not, I've now had 3 separate peaks this cycle but my temps haven't risen 😩

Weather is glorious today. Our friends are leaving today, we're still here till Thursday

Sending lots of love to you @kirinm ❤️ You’ve been in my thoughts xxx

kirinm · 31/08/2020 08:23

Morning, I don't really know what's going on with my cycle. I think my period is due tomorrow although because I bled two weeks ago I'm not sure if it will arrive or not. Still not 100% on whether we will try this month. Tbh, I'm scared of feeling unwell again!
