2DPO - Anyone with me....!

@Twinkle1989 thank you! AF due three days and as @HerringGull just need to get past that chemical phase (as I’m pretty sure that was what my mental periods were a few months back)... but had to show you lot! Might be idea to show the other half ha

@Cc7750 I think it's totally normal beaut ♥️ my midwife told me to stop flapping (I literally registered the Monday after my BFP (Friday!) and said it was normal xx

@Cc7750 hey! Congratulations firstly!
I had spotting for a few days hence why I was so certain that it was negative - took a test only to satisfy my need to POAS and so I could have a baileys without worrying and it was positive!
My blood was very very light pink abs not enough to need a pad but enough to be visible when I wiped (sorry TMI!) x

@HerringGull it’s dark blood and starts and stops but only when wiping. Let’s hope AF doesn’t show and even then @coffeewithmilk had a mini period with pregnancy so let’s see!

Thanks ladies x hope you are ok and for those who are in ‘fun week’ are enjoying it x

@Cc7750 definitely some congratulations are in order

Oooh that is def a positive! I can see that really clearly!
Re the spotting I don't know if that means anything. Some people spot the first few weeks of pregnancy I think. I guess you've got to just wait a few more days until you're past the very risky chemical pregnancy stage? Is the spotting old blood or red new blood?

I really don’t want to be insensitive to anyone in this group.. but do you mind if I ask your opinion on this.. I have now been spotting for 4 days and my temps dropped slightly this morning. AF due in 3 days so I am around 11dpo. Did a couple of cheapies and got faint lines so went to Superdrug for first response. This is the pic, one with flash and no flash?

@Aila1994

@Aila1994 I am sorry and this is really not nice for you at all.. ☹️ You sound stronger than I would be x

@Aila1994 really sorry to hear that. It's bad enough dealing with a potential miscarriage, let alone the horrible feeling that you can't try again right away, if that's what you wanted to do. Be good to yourself, and your DP xxx

Hi, thanks for the concern girls. Feeling ok honestly, I think because I had ‘AF’ I knew something wasn’t right! My pregnancy tests are still positive and levels are still rising slightly. I’m in for bloods every 48 hours to monitor for an ectopic but doctors are hopeful it’s a miscarriage. I have an overactive thyroid and these tests have all come back as very overactive so we’re thinking that’s what could have caused it. Looks like I will need to get that under control before we can think about trying again which is pretty disheartening.

@Aila1994 how are you too? Any update, hope you are ok

@AlisonWhite how are you feeling this morning?

@AlisonWhite o no, I hope your ok. I hope it’s just your stomach feeling painful in general from the gastric stuff (I don’t wish you any pain, but hope you know what I mean).

@EllyNC I think I'm ok but struggling today. The last 2 days I have have severe cramps every hour for a few mins. I thought they were gastric but now I think they are pelvic like period pains which isn't good. Wondering if I have miscarried but nothing is 'coming out' yet :( xxxxx

@HerringGull thanks hun.. spotting stopped, but since I’ve started monitoring my cycle decided to play up, AF due 5 days but it could happy 3 days early.. let’s see. My ovulation also varies and sometimes sneakily come early so sounds like your fun week is nearly here! @EllyNC you too! Have a lovely weekend ladies

Good news @coffeewithmilk!

@cc7750 I have heard that an implantation dip is a myth... Think it's caused by the second oestrogen spike in the middle of the tww. If oestrogen is high enough it can bring your temp down for a day. I don't know how big the dip has to be to be counted as a dip and not just a normal temp fluctuation though. I think fertility friend did a survey of charts and found that most charts did not have the dip, and of the ones that did some were pregnant and some weren't. Implantation bleeding though sounds like it might be promising! Hopefully that's an embryo snuggling in ☺️

EllyNC have fun with FW! I had expected my FW to be a few days away yet, but had EWCM this morning so maybe sooner this month. The joys of a varying cycle... ovulation SURPRISE!! 🤣 Anyway, either way, yours and my tww will be over the festive period so lots to keep busy on thankfully 😊

I’m back onto the fun week!!

Oooh no @AlisonWhite are you okay??
@coffeewithmilk that’s amazing news ☺️☺️

Oo @Cc7750 that sounds yummy!

I've been sat in the loo every hour for 15 mins with crazy painful gastro cramps...

@coffeewithmilk woo hoo! Excellent news! I’ll cheers to that!

The light spotting has totally stopped just a freaky one wipe (TMI).. who bloody knows. On that note we’ve been given the avo off and I’m going to the pub for a scotch egg and gin ha

@Cc7750 hcg level went up to 830 on Wednesday! The midwives were really happy with how it progressed so they've scheduled me for a scan next Wednesday.
Have quite a lot of cramping sensations today and really feeling very fatigued. I'm hoping for good news next week 🤞🏻
Hope everyone is doing ok!
@Aila1994 hope you're ok
Xx

Also how is everyone! @coffeewithmilk any updates @Aila1994 how are you

Ladies I could do with your knowledge. First month of temping so I’m not very good and I’ve put on both temping graphs (both actually say same thing just one came with the new thermometer and glow I’ve been using even before trying to track periods).. one says 8dpo one says 9dpo so same same. I’ve read that if implantation happens or period is coming you will see a dip... No dip in fact temp went up today only by 0.1 but really really light pink spotting. Last month my period only have a 2 weeks gap so it could be that (although I’d be annoyed if my cycle is losing 7 days again!).. but what could it be? Have you guys (that chart) started periods without seeing a dip in temp? Or implantation without a dip?! .. it’s not bedroom action as hasn’t happened and no symptoms of period or TWW symptoms

@EllyNC same as @coffeewithmilk I would do 1 a day when I just finish period but 3 or 4 after I would do one morning and one evening. I assumed that I was ovulating so close to my period last month but I think I missed ovulation due to random period and not testing early enough.. buy lots of cheap strips and go for it x
