Feb Bus 2021 - no more TRYING to conceive, let's blimin do this!

@Litttlebird thanks so much, surprisingly I’m actually fine this month but maybe I’ve just become numb to the disappointment that seems to be the norm month on month 😂

To be honest I knew nothing about ectopic until it happened to me. So I was around 5.5/6 weeks and I just started to feel unwell one day, went to bed presumed it was normal pregnancy pains/feeling unwell. Then I got quite a bad pain in my left side to the point I got sick from the pain and then it went down my left leg so I could hardly put one foot in front of the other. Went to see my GP 4 hours later and felt a bit better but she sent me to get checked out in the hospital. Immediately they said it was probably ectopic, I wasn’t bleeding or anything. Anyway long story short they couldn’t find the pregnancy so over the course of the following 8 days I had to go for bloods every 2nd day my HCG was going up but not at the rate it should have been I had no pain or anything during that time and they continued to scan me. At close to 7 weeks they finally found it on the scan in my left tube. I was lucky in a sense (if I can even say that) that my HCG was low enough that I could have the methotrexate which is an injection to end the pregnancy. Took about 4/5 weeks after the injection for my hormones to go down, I had a hospital stay of 4 nights about a week after my injection becuAse it wasn’t working quick enough and my pain became unbearable they actually thought my tube was rupturing but thankfully it didn’t. I still have both my tubes but have no idea if the left one is blocked or damaged, that’s the frustrating thing about what happened no one can tell you why.

All I know is the hospital told me the moment I get a positive pregnancy test again in the future I’ll be overseen from the following day getting bloods every 2 days and a scan then at 6 weeks (I’m in Ireland so don’t know if it works the same way everywhere).

Hi @Twittwoo2020. Hope your doing ok and fingers crossed 🤞🏼 for you for March xx
I really hope you don’t mind me asking you about the ectopic- but how did you know/ find out? During a scan or was there tell tale signs/ symptoms? It’s something that always worry’s me but I don’t know too much about it Xx

Oh @BubsNumber2inTheMaking I’m sending so much good karma your way

Thanks for the kind wishes @dunkedbiscuit.

@MgW1 hopefully you get your BFP this month. I’m out, literally straight after I wrote my message earlier this morning AF came! Onwards and upwards, hopefully next month will be better.

Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still in the TWW.

Sorry that March is bringing you this sadness and all the what could of been’s @Twittwoo2020 and @MgW1 I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed that you both get happy news

@Twittwoo2020
Im 11dpo too , my boobs still sore but bfn ( ish ) not stark white but think im seeing things. My due date with first mc was march so I feel sad too 😘💕 xx

Feel like the dreaded AF is on the way. BBT was below the cover line yesterday morning and again today. CD25, 11 DPO and AF is due Monday. My boobs are also a lot less tender this morning after a week of them feeling like bricks I’ve also got AF cramps.... feel like I’m already out as all the signs are pointing to it.

Due date for my pregnancy which ended in ectopic was start of March so maybe with a bit of luck March will be the month we conceive to make the month more bareable.

Oh @Tara1711 it could be a chemical but also because the lines are so so faint it may not have been a positive all along. It’s really hard to say. Hope you’re alright. It’s certainly not over till bloody auntie flow turns up at your door ❤️

Thanks all for your Ovia experiences. It’s very weird because it would mean my luteal phase would be 5 days. Which is just way too short and that’s just never happened in any of my other cycles. Usually +opk is on cd13/14 and then I stop ovulating by cd 15.
I agree I’m going to stick with OPKs next month. The certainty helps me a lot I think.

Hope everyone has a great Friday!! And a lovely relaxing weekend xx

Top was a few days ago, bottom today.

Chemical? 😭

Would be my second chemical in 3 months

Morning all. I've resisted testing again the last few days after my BFN on the FRER earlier in the week so now just waiting to see if AF arrives tomorrow.

Weirdly I've started getting sore nipples the last few days which I have never had before, but maybe that always happens before AF and I've never noticed, rather than a preg symptom...

@Sar1010 I use ovia and it seems to change all the time! If you put in your AF date, it automatically changes your peak dates. I’m using a 2 day digital OPK for the first time and now that I’ve entered the smiley result it’s moved my “10” day from today to 2 days ago.

I think I’m going to focus more on the OPK results instead...

@Sar1010 I have had this with Ovia and the month it did it I actually had a 38 day cycle (normal for me is 28-31 days) so it might have actually been correct!

Did another FRER this morning and the line is still there but no darker than then one I took 3 days ago.

If this was going to come of anything surely the line would be darker by now? 😔

Hi @Sar1010, I use Ovia and it just did the same to me changed my ovulation date from last weekend to this weekend and my period is due on 22nd so I think that would be quite late to ovulate. It said due to recent data I entered but I hadnt really put that much in. Think im going to use opks next month so I can be more sure of when I ovulate!

Hey gals, just little old me with another question.
Has anyone who uses Ovia ever experienced the app changes your ovulation dates?
I started AF 19th jan and so ovulation dates were around 2nd feb. Now my app has changed to say my ovulation was this week? It can’t be right as I’m due AF in 5 days?!
The app doesn’t really explain why it changed it either.
I didn’t do OPKs this month we just dtd every other day (so we should be covered) but definitely missing the security of a +opk.

Hope you’re all well ❤️

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Ridiculous*

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I feel i am out. Had a funny month with rudulous amount of ewcm and really bad sore boobs , had sore boobs since ovulation so cant be pregnancy related. Il see what happens. Also i stupidly stopped using opks after peak and stopped dtd
(in favour of a wine and a takeaway and then my husband developed a bad cold - he was really sniffly and REALLY annoying so sacked it off 😂) but then had at least another 5 days of ewcm after O so should have kept testing really. Xx

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Iv had a neg this am with FRER at 10dpo but noy fmu it was actually third morning urine!!! Did you get your first positive at 12dpo? You may have had a squinter at 10. I think i need to stop wasting money on testing! Got 1 box plus 1 left so will wait xx

That's good to know @BubsNumber2inTheMaking thanks. Might have to buy some FRERs. Not going to buy them for a bit as it's only O day today!! And I'm know I will use them far too early 😬😬
