@Daffodil21 This will be grandchild #6 for them, but yes they’re over the moon. Turns out she’d already made a start on a baby blanket in the hope we’d be starting a family soon 🙄 Glad we hadn’t mentioned we’d started trying otherwise it would’ve been an even more stressful 14 months with them putting the pressure on.

How’s everyone’s weekends going? Yet another week of lockdown done

@Bramleyapples13 I think it just means I implanted earlier, which I already suspected anyway as I had spotting from 5/6DPO. It's been measuring slightly ahead at all the scans, but I hadn't bothered changing my dates on apps and things but I have now we've had the dating scan and they've given us an EDD.

@CEW19 I bet your mum is thrilled!

@Poppyismyfavourite oh noo sorry to hear your baby is breech (I don't really know much about that tbh 🙈) nothing wrong with ugly crying - you must be getting nervous now! But you'll soon be meeting your little girl!!!!

Wow @CEW19 I didn't know that was possible either... Bodies are weird!

@Bramleyapples13 glad to hear that, hope it all goes well!

@Tofu35 thanks, I bloody hope so too... I'm on maternity leave now and turning this baby has suddenly turned into my no. 1 focus! Had a bit of a melt down yesterday and ugly cried about it all over my poor husband.

Tofu35 · 06/02/2021 23:07

Love seeing everyone's news, I hope this cheeky baby turns around @Poppyismyfavourite!
@bramleyapples13 this might be the first engagement on the thread 😍
@daffodil21 love hearing you're doing well!

CEW19 · 06/02/2021 20:48

@Bramleyapples13 it’s called a heterotopic apparently. I guess when two eggs are released and fertilised at the same time? Relieved it wasn’t and back to counting down the weeks haha. Told my parents and my mum is desperate for us to tell the rest of the fam. My gran lives with them and she’s really struggling with keeping a secret 😂

Bramleyapples13 · 06/02/2021 17:10

@Daffodil21 and @CEW19 fantastic to see everything is going well! I really need to keep up with stuff on here a bit more. I feel well behind with everyone's news! @CEW19 am I being an idiot by thinking that they thought you could have an ectopic and viable pregnancy at the same time? How is that even possible?! Does that mean you're further on than you thought @Daffodil21?

@Poppyismyfavourite we have had a chat. He was always going to propose but thought I wasn't too bothered about it being after we tried for a baby. So we'll just do it the other way round and see how things go.

But I still want to stay part of the thread!

Poppyismyfavourite · 05/02/2021 16:22

Great news @Daffodil21!! So happy for you😊

I had less good news, seems naughty baby is breech, had them attempt an ecv but no luck, hopefully have another one next week but otherwise it's a c section 😬

CEW19 · 04/02/2021 13:42

Amazing @daffodil21! Hopefully now you'll be able to relax and enjoy the rest of your pregnancy :)

@Poppyismyfavourite it's at 10:50 today. Absolutely dreading it.
38 weeks???? I cannot believe that!! So exciting for you!!!! What's your due date, if you don't mind sharing?

OP posts:
Poppyismyfavourite · 03/02/2021 23:13

@Daffodil21 When's your next scan? How are you holding up?

@Bramleyapples13 I was wondering how you were doing! Have you had a chat about marriage?

I'm 38 weeks tomorrow, got a midwife appt in the morning. Pretty uncomfortable now tbh but have just started mat leave which is great!

haah · 03/02/2021 14:18

thank you! I just really regret not waiting the full 10 minutes before throwing the test in bin! will try again later on today. I am 12DPO so Im hoping I tested too early and there is still possible hope of a BFP!!

Daffodil21 · 03/02/2021 14:10

Thanks @Tofu35 and @CEW19

@haah if it's been over the time period the test says, then unfortunately I don't think you can trust the second line. An evaporation line is usually colourless, but an hour after the test was taken would make it invalid. You could take another later today after a 4 hour hold, I had an early result on those tests after a 4 hour hold rather than a full night. Good luck!

Hi everyone! This is my first post on a TTC forum & would love your advice! I have taken a Pregnancy test this morning (Not the first wee of the day!) and initially couldn't see a second line - I only waited a couple of minutes! (it is a clear blue early detection test). I have left the test for an hour and there is now a faint blue second line - is this an evaporation line? google tells me evaporation lines are usually colourless?? would appreciate any advice!

Tofu35 · 03/02/2021 13:54

Good luck @Daffodil21, and hope you can put your feet up now @cew19 Flowers

CEW19 · 03/02/2021 13:33

Who knew it would all be so hard! Might actually get some sleep tonight now. Hope all goes well with you tomorrow :)

Thanks @tofu35 @daffodil21. After the most stressful 2 days ever, everything looks fine and as it should. Glad they took it seriously but oh my god. think my heart is only now beating properly.

Tofu35 · 03/02/2021 12:44

Its great the sonographer is on it and has you coming back in for further examination. Hope everything goes okay xx @cew19

@CEW19 that sounds scary. I have never heard of this. I'm glad they're being thorough with you and really hope that's not the case. Keep us posted x

CEW19 · 03/02/2021 11:21

@Daffodil21, hold that thought. Just had a call back from the clinic. The sonographer has had another look at the images and wants me to come back now for an internal scan for a closer look at the cysts. I asked what else it could be and she said it's very very rare, but you can sometimes have an ectopic at the same time as the 'viable' pregnancy. Going back in for 12.

@CEW19 I'm so relieved and thrilled for
you!! That must be such a weight lifted!

Yes it is, well remembered! Dreading it to be honest. I did have a private scan a week ago because I couldn't wait any longer, all was ok, but that was a week ago so anything could have changed

OP posts:
CEW19 · 03/02/2021 10:32

@daffodil21 Just back from the appointment and all is looking good and measuring around 6 weeks. The cramping is down to some small cysts on my ovaries which I'm told is perfectly normal and will go on their own by the end of the first trimester. Such a relief. Just need to continue the waiting game now for the 12 week scan. Yours is tomorrow isn't it?

Daffodil21 · 02/02/2021 20:55

@CEW19 it doesn't necessarily mean something bad is happening, although of course I understand the worry. Have got absolutely everything crossed for you tomorrow. Try and get as good as nights rest as you can. Let us know how it goes, I'll be looking out for your update x
