@Elakiya well hubby and I are into photography so want to go see Old Man of Storr, Fairy Pools, Castle Dunvegan, the Coral beach, the massive waterfalls and then ask the locals what other beautiful places there are that are hidden gems as I think there are loads. It looks so breathtaking I cannot wait to go.

@candycrush2298 I just had a look at the Isle of Skye and it looks stunning. What are you planning to do there? I might want to go there too.

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 17:57

@PinkRoseFlower hey!!! Thanks for checking in gosh 8dpo already, wow time is just flying by. You have been too busy to symptom spot lol. Good luck with the move.

@Elakiya hahaha thats why I gave up because it helped me nothing. I was doing it at 8pm every night and never matched what Google said I should be based on where I was in my cycle it made me mad I thought I was pg one month because it was high and medium right until AF showed Dr Google just lied to me hahahah. Cant wait to see your LH tests hahah

OP posts:
Elakiya · 06/09/2020 17:43

@candycrush2298 so I am just going to not bother checking then. Will just wait for AF.
Really want to do a PG test though. I think I’ll do an OPK the day before AF is due I.e Sunday next week

@PinkRoseFlower I think people hiding behind a screen find it very easy to knock someone else down. In the AIBU threads people are always telling the original poster off it’s sad.

PinkRoseFlower · 06/09/2020 17:23

Hey! Sorry don't think I've caught up with all the messages but wanted to pop in and say hi! I'm 8dpo today, no symptoms! Been busy cleaning and packing as moving house at the start of next month, any tips @boc86 😆

@Elakiya I was reading that thread too, I felt so sorry for her as so many people being really negative and rude to her. So interested to see what the outcome it.

@welliedays not too long to go until scan time, I bet it will come around so quickly! Will be amazing for you to see your little bean growing inside you.

@Elakiya so sorry to hear about your parents losses, that must have been absolutely devastating can't imagine the pain they went through😢

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 17:16

@Elakiya NO! I refuse to believe that even with cramps that its a definitive conclusion you are out!!

OP posts:
candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 17:14

@Elakiya yeah same time everyday because your cervix moves throughout the day the only way to confirm if its changing from day to day is to do it the exact same time everyday (not on the days you BD or are aroused because sex moves it about as does being in the mood) and once you have about 2 or 3 cycles of data you will be able to see whats normal for you or not.

I stopped because it never did what was normal checked it last night and it was high and soft and I am like you are literally excreeting red juices why are you so high and soft whahahaha!! But my cervix is clearly abnormal 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OP posts:
Elakiya · 06/09/2020 17:09

@candycrush2298 I never check at the same time. Is that wrong? It’s gone down again now.

I have my usual back pain now. Let’s see if I get my low achey cramps tomorrow 😅 that will be enough to confirm my AF approaching

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 15:21

@Elakiya of course you were just a small child yourself you wouldn't have understood the loss. Awww I truly hope you get your bfp hun thank you for sharing with us. Must have been so tough on your family even if you weren't yet able to understand the loss.

Did it rise before ovulation? Have you been checking it at the same time everyday (excluding days of BD and arousal as that could make it go higher)

If you have then its a really good sign that its high now after ovulation. Lets hope it stays high!! Wow that would be amazing if it stays up all the time.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 06/09/2020 14:57

@candycrush2298 just found this.

So I am definitely usually low or medium I don’t think I am ever high

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 14:55

@candycrush2298 I was checking my cervical position. It didn’t rise after ovulation. It’s risen now but I think in general my cervix just stays quite low?

Elakiya · 06/09/2020 14:52

@candycrush2298 @Kaybobx Thanks I don’t think at that age I appreciated how painful those losses would have been. Especially because my mum and dad were in Great Ormond street hospital for ages whilst they tried to save the baby. It’s really sad. This is one of the reasons why me getting pregnant would be so special to my mum. I really hope I manage it somehow.

@Boc86 Where did you say you were from. Only curious as our new neighbours are moving in lol and I wonder if it’s you!

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 14:46

@Boc86 at least you're literally on the last haul that's great news. Then after the cleaning its just sorting out isn't it.

OP posts:
Boc86 · 06/09/2020 14:44

We’re doing the last van load from my old house today then this house is empty
Got so much unpacking to do in the new house but it’s defo a bit straighter and I know where the most important bits are that we need for next week
Then Monday and Tuesday I need to come back to the old house and clean it x

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 14:20

@Boc86 hey how is the move going? Are you finished moving and just unpacking or not yet??

Well done on not wanting to know gender you guys are so strong hahah.

OP posts:
Boc86 · 06/09/2020 14:07

@Elakiya yeah I’m 4dpo
It is flying though because of how busy I am with the house move

I’ll definitely have early scans because I’ll be terrified of something going wrong
I’ll have one at 7, 10.5 and then nhs 12 weeks one then I’ll be fine till my 20 week one
Also not finding our gender

Hope everyone’s well x

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 13:16

@Kaybobx I will be watching YouTube videos on how to tell the difference on the doppler lol obviously!! obviously will be going for a lot of scans, I only looked at the price of the 4d scans which were £80 or £90 cant remember now lol so possibly the standard scans are cheaper and will most definitely be doing them frequently lol. But in the weeks of no scans I will be using a doppler (I know you don't like them @snapple21 sorrrryyyy in advance hahahah) I understand completely your obsession I will be exactly the same 🤣🤣

OP posts:
Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 13:07

@Elakiya oh no! Your poor parents, that must of been just devastating 😭

Kaybobx · 06/09/2020 13:05

@candycrush2298 i was the same, had millions of scan haha!! They are only £45 where i am so its definitely doable. I also brought a fetal doppler @snapple21 will shout at me for that haha.
My midwife didn't recommend it at all as the placenta sounds very much like a heartbeat so you could be thinking all is ok when it really isn't. I learnt to be able to tell the difference though.
I used to get home from work everyday and listen straight for the heartbeat. Crazily obsessed haha

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 13:02

@Elakiya awww I am so sorry to hear that, must have been an absolutely brutal experience I cant even begin to understand that kind of pain. It must be part of your soul being taken away from you. Just too sad. Yeah for me I need to know. Hubby feels exactly the same way the two of us are on the exact same page when it comes to the testing.

OP posts:
Elakiya · 06/09/2020 12:56

@candycrush2298 My parents had 2 babies after me and both died of the same disease therefore I am now absolutely paranoid that I had a recessive version of whatever this issue is (there english isn't great so I don't think they ever understood what the cause of death was and i was only 6/7 at the time so I didn't understand either) so like you I'd probably pay for some extra scans just to put my mind at ease.

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 12:44

@Welliedays we are all different you do what's best for you. If not knowing is better for you then you do that girl!! You know yourself and what's best 💜💜.
Because chromosomal issues run in my family I need to know for sure if our baby will have it or not. The NIPT Harmony test is very expensive about £400 but for us its vital to know. The scans are about £80 which is affordable to us to help my anxiety. I would go for our first scan at 7weeks or so just to hear the heartbeat and know our bean is OK.

OP posts:
Welliedays · 06/09/2020 12:26

I'm not paying for scans... I'm too scared something is wrong so I'd rather live in denial a little bit longer, and would rather not pay to find out something is wrong when I can find out for free!! I also can't afford them, I did look to see the cost, but they're quite expensive 🙄

candycrush2298 · 06/09/2020 11:41

@snapple21 its definitely possible didn't you say you usually always peak in the evening? Which means if you peak tonight the monitor will say so in the morning.

@Elakiya wow you and @Welliedays are just awesome hahaha! I cant be waiting that long my patience is extremely limited. I like things to happen now hence me already saying I will be paying for private scans cant be waiting 10 million years for the first scan on the NHS lol!!! I need to hear that heartbeat like ASAP lol!! My anxiety wouldn't handle the unknown one bit. I am truly envious of you two that are so super chilled. I am even going to do a harmony test at 10 weeks because my sister is special needs so will be learning the gender from then already 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Wow that is super interesting I had no idea that you did that. That must be super fun that the whole family gets involved!! Can understand you not wanting to pick out names for both genders with every letter of the alphabet lol!!!

OP posts:
Welliedays · 06/09/2020 11:41

Ahh wow @elakiya, I love that you get a letter for the time they're born. That's so cool and would probably help indecisive me ahah. I think even if I found out I wouldn't do a gender reveal, I'd quite like being the only ones to know. I don't think I'm going to put too much online about it either, going to try to resist posting photos once it's born too, just because I want it to be able to choose if it has an online presence or not.

I know @snapple21, it's crazy. I have seen they do it up to age 2-3 or something, so you could nearly justify it then as it should last a while... But defs going to stick to cheap and cheerful for baby sizes!
