@Rebecca1992 before MC they were long - 38 days ish. The last one when I fell PG was on course to be about 41 days. Today is CD37 based on first day of heavy bleeding from the MC.

@Northernsoul90 totally agree, I'm not buying any more. I've stocked up on alcohol free bubbles and gin so I'll just keep on with those and see what happens when I get back. Will be interested to see what the GP says if they do call me, but if I don't hear I'll call them next Monday. Of course by then I might have AF or a stark white negative and then I'll know for sure. Just wonder why AF isn't arriving and maybe there's a bigger issue.

How is everyone today? xx

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 10:18

@MichT4 I'm sorry that you are still in limbo, I can see the line on the cb tests. Maybe it is just a case of ovulation later than you thought. When are you back from your holiday? I think I wouldn't buy anymore tests whilst you are there and then give the GP a call when you are home/ retest when you are back. What a difficult situation to get your heads around xx

@Firevie How did the wedding go? I hope you had a good time! Xx

@VP91x That's good that you've got things sorted with the pup and all is well with OH - you can do without the stress of it all! I agree with no pressure to dtd it becomes such a chore sometimes and also I feel like I become a sex pest 😂. DH knows full well it's for insemination purposes only half the time so I feel a bit guilty! I had second flashy this morning and my temp dropped quite a bit from 36.26 to 36.11 does this mean ovulation is pending do you think? I'm already thinking about when we need to dtd next 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

Rebecca1992 · 17/08/2020 10:16

@MichT4 I know, I used to have to open my pink dies to see if there really was anything there!

It's so hard being in limbo! How many days is your cycle usually?

VP91x · 17/08/2020 10:06

Morning ladies, sorry have been so quiet! Had a bit of a crazy day yesterday with everything.

First of all welcome @susiebluebell so sorry you have gone through a miscarriage this week, I really hope you are being kind to yourself. You will get lots of support here, feel free to vent whenever! xx

@Bl0ndi3 all those little milestones are so so hard and you never forget the dates. It is such a process to feel better over the MC and you won't ever really be over it, but you will get through them just let yourself be sad on those days. You might still ovulate around CD18, CBD is the most annoying thing, haha.

@Jazper how have you been hun? xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you lovely, hope you are ok?xx

@Tink20058 I also feel like your pregnancy is flying past! But also, so so happy for you that everything is progressing perfectly. How exciting that you will have a gender scan next week, that was my favourite.

@Rb486 I feel the same, this whole year has been a complete waste and it is so annoying because it is the last one of my 20s! Sigh, but what can you do? I hope Covid goes away soon, it really has destroyed so many things for so many people. Hope you are feeling better today xx

@HE88 thank you, yeah absolutely it was such an emotional day yesterday.

@Rainbowhope11 So glad to hear from you! Glad that you are okay, hope that work starts to slow down a little? Wow, already 11dpo, rising temps sounds hopeful though. Probably a good idea to not test until AF is late although maybe around 14/15dpo would be reliable enough to test? Great news about your appointment, I hope that they are helpful - although I am more hopeful that you won't need it!

I am doing okay, just waiting for AF really! I had a random temp rise over the last few days with no positive OPKs but no chance that I would have caught even if I did, haven't DTD much. I have actually enjoyed not having to this month - is that weird?

@HopeForRainbowbaby how are you doing? Did the bleeding progress? Sending you a big hug xx

@Pugprincess thank you for thinking of me, sorry I have been quiet. How are you? Has the spotting stopped now?xx

Little update from me - I had another higher temp this morning so FF has popped in possible ovulation, I'm not sure I have though although my skin has broken out which it normally does in the week before AF. Who knows, still haven't got my blood tests back yet either hoping they come through today! Will see if docs will do bloods again for next cycle.

Update on the pup - he has gone to a trainer for the foreseeable until we can possibly take him back. I was way too anxious and he was a bit young still to understand how to be around a toddler. OH is back home, all is well! xx

@Rebecca1992 I thought AF was due Friday or Saturday so I should be getting darker results. Unless I did ovulate later but temps didn't suggest that, and I'd still think they'd be darker.

They are as dark today as Thursday I think, here are a couple of pics. The pink dye ones yesterday (cheap Asda) I don't think snowed anything. Though when I looked later I thought I saw something but I think my eyes are etched with lines now xx

@MichT4 It could be a good sign it hasn't disappeared yet!

What dpo are you today? Do you think you could've ovulated later than thought??

I got my faint on a Wednesday and was bleeding by Friday night/Saturday morning but had awful cramps from the Thursday!

Are you tests similar or do you think there getting lighter?? Have you a pic?

I tested with so many brands the time of my chemical, I got my faints on CB, Sursign and Tesco. Nothing showed on One Step, FRER & Boots!

Pugprincess · 17/08/2020 09:41

@MichT4 hi I’m feeling ok thanks. Not long woke up and feel like I could sleep more 😂 sorry your tests are still mucking you about 😩

Hoping @VP91x is ok she’s quiet xxx

MichT4 · 17/08/2020 09:38

@Tink20058 I will ask for them to do some, unless they are completely negative. I have no early ones here so it'll have to wait until I'm home now I think, don't want to buy more really.

@Firevie thank you, I'm sure I will.

@Rebecca1992 thanks lovely. I think it must be a chemical or surely it would be darker. I just thought after 4 days it would have disappeared by now. Once I get home I imagine it'll be gone. How long after did you get AF? xx

Rebecca1992 · 17/08/2020 09:27

@MichT4 I'm so sorry 😓 I really hope it progresses for you! My Chemical ended after 3 days half were complete squinters half negative.....I'm keeping everything crossed for you! Keep us updated ❤

Firevie · 17/08/2020 09:04

Hi ladies! Sorry I’ve been MIA, been busy with the wedding, my mums birthday etc. Sorry to hear it’s still all confusing @MichT4. Hope you get clarity soon!
@VP91x thanks for setting up a new thread
I will need to catch up on all these messages properly later xxx

Tink20058 · 17/08/2020 09:02

@MichT4 at least if they can give you blood test then your not In limbo when are you home? Xx

Lollol86 · 17/08/2020 08:36

@MichT4 I bet you do, but I think it could probably stress you out aswell, especially if your temp was all over the place xx

MichT4 · 17/08/2020 08:34

@Lollol86 I wish I had my Ava now, so I can see what my temp is doing xx

Lollol86 · 17/08/2020 08:26

@MichT4 I totally understand why you are feeling the way you are, you are still kind of in limbo and don't fully know. At least if it was one way or the other you could start to accept that xx

MichT4 · 17/08/2020 08:25

@Lollol86 haha yeah I'll blame my pee 🤣
I think I thought it would have also gone negative by now too so I haven't got a clue.
I feel ok, I just hoped this morning I'd have an answer. I think I do, I think it's a chemical, but I want to know for sure.
I do feel really sad about it, feel like now I just can't believe it's probably happened again.

@Tink20058 I'm hoping I hear from them in the next couple of days as they were contacting a specialist about progesterone, so I'll ask them then xx

Tink20058 · 17/08/2020 08:15

@MichT4 is your gp one of the helpful ones? Would they book you in for bloods when you get home? Xx

Lollol86 · 17/08/2020 08:04

@MichT4 that's so confusing. I would have thought it would have progressed by now? Hopefully your pee is just really rubbish and diluted 😂 how are you feeling today with it all? Xx

MichT4 · 17/08/2020 08:00

@Tink20058 I'd have thought it would have done by now. I got my first faint line on one 4 days ago now. By the time I'm home there should be a clear negative or AF I hope. Not sure why it's taking so long to disappear

How lovely - 2 scans in 2 weeks. So many chances to see the bean xx

Tink20058 · 17/08/2020 07:56

@MichT4 I’m having a private one next Monday so oh can come too then my nhs 20 week one is the following Monday, fingers crossed it progresses for you xx

MichT4 · 17/08/2020 07:49

@Pugprincess thank you. How are you this morning?

@Tink20058 so exciting! Is that at a private clinic or are you having it at your nhs scan?

I did another CB. Still a faint line. If it was the first test I took I'd be all excited but given it's the 85th (ish) I assume it's not good news

Xx

HopeForRainbowbaby · 17/08/2020 07:18

@susiebluebell welcome! I'm sorry that you found yourself here. But if you need support, this is perfect place😘

Northernsoul90 · 17/08/2020 06:53

@susiebluebell So sorry for your loss. Wishing you lots of luck in your ttc journey - you will find lots of support here! Xx

@ladysamee I can see a line! Fingers crossed for you that it gets darker 🤞🏼 xx

@Rainbowhope11 Im no temp expert but hoping that the rise means good things for you! 🤞🏼 Fingers crossed that this is your cycle xx

Tink20058 · 17/08/2020 06:47

@MichT4 sorry I fell to sleep it’s my favourite hobby at the minute, I’m swayed towards girl going on nub theory but I really wouldn’t mind either way how are you this morning? Xx

Rainbowhope11 · 17/08/2020 04:14

Hey ladies! How are you all doing? I've been mia for a while because work has been really hectic. Quick update on me: I'm 11dpo, had a really weird slow temp rise after ovulation and then a two day dip at around 7 dpo and then temps started to rise after that and have been pretty high for the last two days. Not sure if that even means anything anymore to be honest as my temps have been all over the place the last few months. I haven't tested and don't think I will until I know that I've missed AF. But I don't even know when that's due as my cycle has been very erratic. Either way, I have an appointment booked with a fertility specialist next Monday so excited about that.

I also used Proov tests to confirm ovulation this month. The tests did turn positive although I'm not sure how I feel about them in terms of creating another thing for me to worry about🙈

@VP91x how are you doing?

Pugprincess · 17/08/2020 00:38

@ladysamee I see that line too 😁 try again in the morning and compare them x
@MichT4 good luck with yours too. Hoping it’s just a shy bean xx
