I'm okay. Confirmation of empty womb. I had to buy a new baby card on the way in as SIL has just given birth to beautiful baby boy. That was a bit rotten but excited to meet him none the less.
Pain is from a big cyst on my ovary but apparently that's quite normal. It's 4/5cm but no pcos.
Just got to get back in the game now 😟 and hope I get a sticky bean soon xxx

@laurashakey I'm so sorry for your loss. Wishing you lots of luck with this pregnancy xx

@marcella64 here's hoping this pregnancy sticks after so many losses, I'll be rooting for you. My early pregnancy unit said to book in to have an early scan at 8 weeks. I've had 3 miscarriages - my last one happened the day before my early scan appointment. I know that some private companies will scan from 6 weeks, so I will be tempted to go there for peace of mind if I fall pregnant again.

@cyclogoose - hope you're doing OK?

marcella64 · 23/03/2021 15:22

I can empathise with you like many on here, I lost my first at 12 weeks when I was 19, it was awful. I had no clue what was going on. I've had 5 misscaridges in total over the years so trying to not get to excited about this one until we get a scan. I'm going to go private at 7/8 weeks to know we have a heartbeat. @Laurashakey

Halpmer · 23/03/2021 15:15

@Laurashakey I really hope so! Weird about the fortune teller, hopefully your path changed 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻.

Oh no! I mean, it's not too much of an issue with regards to dtd as we're fairly regular 😂😂 it's more the fact that I wanna know when I'm 10dpo onwards so I can put off testing until the right time. Deffo gonna use more of my cheapies next month if no bfp this month.

I like to think I've had some symptoms - mostly just extremely emotional for no reason whatsoever and it's not usual for me even with PMS. Feel a little bloated, a bit of sensation in the pelvic region, but I'm probably just madly symptom spotting.

@CycloGoose I teach English at a school in North West London and love it. I don't blame you for not going in, too demanding to do the job when you're anything less than 100% especially in a situation like yours 😣

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 15:03

@marcella64 oh thank God, I’m so paranoid.😄
This is going to be my second. I gave birth to my baby angel at 12 weeks in December 💔 pretty surprised I am pregnant so soon ❤️

marcella64 · 23/03/2021 15:01

@Laurashakey I'm exactly the same tired and lots of pulling. If I remember back to my last pregnancy it was the same. Are you pregnant with your first? X

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 14:51

@marcella64 I used this calculator it says I’m apparently 4 weeks, well, no idea!😂 well I haven’t had many symptoms really, boobs are normal, just tired and weird pulling sensation in my uterus/pelvic. Do you have that too? I get worried loads haha, it makes me bloated and usually can feel it when I’m walking but it’s more of a dull pinching feeling 😂🤷🏽‍♀️

marcella64 · 23/03/2021 14:20

@Laurashakey I defo don't trust the apps after this month! Yea that would make you 5 weeks, I used a due date calculator and it says I'm 4 tommorw from my last period. I've been so tired, boobs are very full and since Sunday pelvic twinges. How about you? Xx

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:55

Thank you @CycloGoose, how are you today? Hope you’re well!xx

CycloGoose · 23/03/2021 12:52

@halpmer that's really annoying with the date changes! What do you teach? I work in a prep school near London. I've not gone in today between a&e last night and epu this afternoon. I couldn't face it xxx

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:48

@marcella64 thanks hun!! And I think I am around 12dpo I believe, just a day behind you😁 ah I never trust apps, I just go with the flow. Are you having any symptoms?😌
If I’m honest I don’t know if I am 4 or 5 weeks in. My last period was on the 16/2 that’d make me 5 weeks then wouldn’t it?

CycloGoose · 23/03/2021 12:48

Looking great @Laurashakey ! Thrilled for you!
@mammaj21 that's a proper line. It's way dark. So pleased for you it's come quite quickly after your MC xxxx
@minthumbugs what does it say in the instructions for your cycle length? I didn't use the app. Is this purple or pink? With the purple, it just might not catch your estrogen rise if you test late xxx

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:46

Speaking of clear blue actually I did conceive my first child thank be to them.
My cycle used to be 28 days but after the miscarriage all has changed and now I’m cycle 34. So weird.

marcella64 · 23/03/2021 12:45

@Laurashakey congratulations!! How many dpo are you? My app is saying 11 but I never got a bfp this early with my other 2. Trying to work but my brain is fried!! X

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:41

Hi @marcella64 congrats hun!! Exactly what happened to me this month. I wasn’t tracking and got pregnant 🥰

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:40

Thank you @Halpmer! Hopefully this bean sticks this time 🥰 so weird I had fortune teller telling me that I won’t get pregnant until August this year, hmmm. I wouldn’t go by the apps they are tricky! They told me last month that I ovulated earlier than when I actually ovulated! I usually just go by lines on cheap OPK. Didnt find the clear blues helpful either last month as they had solid smiley for 3 days straight and after that I just couldn’t be bothered to be testing any more! And I missed it. Have you had any symptoms yet? I know it’s probably too early too ask but some do from 2dpo😀

marcella64 · 23/03/2021 12:39

Hi Girls, I'm new here but have been reading som comments. We are ttc #3, this is the one month we didn't track properly and I'm shocked! Didn't think I'd get a positive so just wanted to share my 2 lines. Hope your all feeling good through your 2ww and congrats to anyone who's had a BFP. I think I'm about 13dpo.

TTC March / April
Halpmer · 23/03/2021 12:29

I will say, I'm glad I'm able to be at work teaching because if I was working from home still I'd be constantly googling. At least I have a bunch of kids here to keep me distracted.

Halpmer · 23/03/2021 12:28

So chuffed for you @Laurashakey those lines are progressing!! So lovely to see.

Bit miffed because my bloody apps are telling me all sorts and changing ovulation day based on temps or something. I just want to know how many days post ov I am so I can bloody know when it's cool to test or not 😂🥲

Thought I was 6dpo but now app is saying I'm only 4 😤 tww is a bugger at the best of times.

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 12:09

@minthumbugs I am chuffed with them to be honest 😁 I’m only 12dpo as well they look well dark dont they!😂 I am still getting that dull feeling in my uterus/pelvic when walking, not mentioning about sneezing.. ouch!! Don’t remember having that with my previous pregnancy but hopefully this is a good sign! Yes do that! I hope you get your BFP next month ❤️

minthumbugs · 23/03/2021 11:49

Wow great lines @Laurashakey !! I have some cheapies so will start doing them every other day and then I'll switch. Hopefully get the same result as you this month 🤞🏻🥰

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 11:45

Here is my progression of lines, think I can now rule out CP. just need to rule out EP now

TTC March / April
Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 11:44

@MammaJ21 that’s definitely a line!! Congrats!! Mine was way way fainter than yours when I find out.

Laurashakey · 23/03/2021 11:42

@minthumbugs my cycles are around 34 days, definitely do not ovulate before cd20, I would buy cheap OPK and keep testing until you get some line then once you think the line is quite clear I would switch to clear blue then x

minthumbugs · 23/03/2021 11:37

@MammaJ21 That's a line!!!! Do another one! X
