Anyone else 3dpo? When do you suggest the best time to test is? I have some frer’s and some ic’s and I honestly think I won’t be able to get through the weekend without testing 😫🤣

@Bundaberg84 I really hope your outcome is different to mine I basically spotted my whole 10 weeks pregnancy and kept been told it was hormonal bleeding that I had a sensitive cervix and normal for me even now when I know my baby has passed away inside me I’m still only getting the faintest of spotting. I have researched this a lot in the past few weeks and the truth is you have a 50/50 chance when you spot . I saw a heartbeat and healthy baby at 8 weeks I thought I was home and dry but it wasn’t to be. I really do hope you are the on the other side of the 50 as I wouldn’t wish the pain of a miscarriage on my worst enemy but just protect yourself and trust your gut! Spotting is common but it’s not normal and you know your body better than anyone else. Best of luck xx I know how scary it is! Fingers crossed it’s nothing serious.

I'm sorry to hear that @FinnsMammy - will keep an eye out for when you're back with us. Take care, be kind to yourself. x

@extrababydust123 I've had a bit of a bug but luckily think covered the bases with DTD 🤞🏻 as the bug didn't start until just before ovulation - it must have known! 😆 I'm feeling much better now though, was a 48 hour thing.

Goodness knows what it'll mean for ovulation timings or whatever but the OPK seem to think my peak has been and passed. 🤷‍♀️

How are you lovely? x

Hi girls I just thought I’d share my story I posted here a few weeks ago at 8 weeks pregnant as I was getting spotting everything looked perfect with a strong heartbeat then I continued to spot and I called the hospital and they said that an internal ultrasound can cause spotting... fast forward 2 weeks of on off spotting pink and brown I got bright red spotting with little tiny clots so I booked another scan today and the outcome wasn’t good the baby died a few days ago I’m so sad but part of me is relieved as the spotting was so emotionally draining and such a worry everyday and then to be told it’s not a concern to spot during the first trimester! I think deep down I knew something wasn’t right and I would miscarry. I’m back on here because I will be ttc again as soon as I can with all you lovely ladies! I can’t believe I have now had 2 mcs in a row but I believe everything happens for a reason and third time lucky and I gave my gorgeous little boy as proof that my body can carry a baby to term! It’s heartbreaking but we are all in this together! Xx

How is everyone getting on? 😊

@Bundaberg84 fingers are tightly crossed for you, I bled often pretty much all the way through the 1st trimester and half of 2nd trimester with DS1 - so bloody stressful but he's absolutely fine. Hope you're being kind to yourself, it's such an emotional time. x

Bundaberg84 · 08/06/2021 22:35

@feliznavidad2 thank you, holding in there! Have a second appointment tomorrow as I'm bleeding kinda constantly. Hcg levels look good though. No idea what to think of it 🤷‍♀️🤞

extrababydust123 · 08/06/2021 21:44

Thanks everyone! Fingers crossed we have some more BFP’s to report this month 😁🤞🏽

Ooh that does sound positive @extrababydust123

How are you @Bundaberg84? :)

ArBird · 08/06/2021 20:10

@extrababydust123 fingers crossed for you! Sounds really positive!

Bundaberg84 · 08/06/2021 14:59

@extrababydust123 fingers crossed!! Smile
and @feliznavidad2 happy bd'ing Wink

extrababydust123 · 08/06/2021 14:27

I have the worst ovulation cramps and bloating today which I never usually have! And I had the darkest test line on an opk yesterday than I ever have before. Don’t want to jinx anything but hopefully these are all good signs that this cycle will be the one 😂

extrababydust123 · 07/06/2021 23:28

@ArBird eek that’s exciting! Keep us updated please I have everything crossed for you! 😁

@feliznavidad2 the same happened to me last month! And this month is arrived on CD13 but I was prepared and have been dtd all week, last cycle we only managed once or twice because it was so unexpected! So hopefully we covered our bases this time 🥰 happy bd’ing!! 🤣 x

Good luck for Wednesday's POAS @ArBird

@extrababydust123 glad you're feeling positive. Enjoy your fertile window. 🎉 I'm only CD12 but my OPK showed a (rather unexpected premature) 😳 high this am so am curious as to whether that was the peak, it had gone down a bit this afternoon but I guess tomorrow am will tell. DTD this eve just incase, and will be errm ensuring all bases are covered over the next few days. ☺️

ArBird · 07/06/2021 21:24

@extrababydust123 I'm 7dpo today. RHR is still up too, and Im finding new things to track! Haha! I'm out of control!
I've decided to test on 9dpo with a FRER to see whether there is anything and then try my best to wait until my predicted period date if it's negative.

Fingers crossed for you for this time!

extrababydust123 · 07/06/2021 13:15

Hey @ArBird! How many dpo are you now? And have you tested yet? 😬 good luck to you! 🤞🏽

And @feliznavidad2 sorry I’ve only just seen this, I find I spend less time on MN until I’m in the TWW 🤣 and today I’ve just hit peak on my opk’s so I’ll be in the TWW in the next couple of days! I’m feeling really calm and positive this time round so let’s hope things stay that way 😊 where abouts are you in your cycle? X

OP posts:
ArBird · 05/06/2021 11:10

@feliznavidad2 fingers crossed for you!

I think I'm going to do all I can to hold out as close to my predicted period as possible! I've purposefully not brought test strips for this reason! Grin I have two FRERs on their way today in preparation for next week!

I will keep you posted Star

feliznavidad2 · 05/06/2021 10:09

Hi @ArBird and welcome!

It's so bloody hard not to symptom spot, I felt really odd in the first week of TWW last cycle, and was even sick one day (in hindsight I think my body isn't used to these surging hormones as felt quite stable on the pill whereas now I'm getting all sorts of symptoms that I never had before).

I'm going to be honest, I don't measure my temp or RHR so not sure what it means but fingers are crossed for you. Keep us updated!

I'm CD10 here, last month I ovulated around CD16-17 so it's nearly time... 👀 🍆

ArBird · 04/06/2021 22:20

Hey all! First time posting!
I'm on my first cycle and 4dpo today. My temps and heart rate is up which I hope is a good sign! Driving myself mad with googling symptoms 😅

What do you do to stop yourself from going crazy? The temptation to just start testing is unreal!!

feliznavidad2 · 04/06/2021 20:36

How is everyone? Happy Friday! 🍷

Bundaberg84 · 02/06/2021 08:46

@extrababydust123 thank you lovely! The positive thing is that I'm further along than I was in February. And I don't seem to have any spotting while sleeping and resting. I think I will have to take it easy :)

feliznavidad2 · 02/06/2021 07:42

So pleased for you @Bundaberg84 - yes please do keep us updated. x

extrababydust123 · 01/06/2021 22:51

@Bundaberg84 I feel spotting and even bleeding is very common in the first 12 weeks so don’t worry too much. Congratulations ❤️ I hope everything goes well and would love it if you kept us updated 😁🤞🏽

Bundaberg84 · 01/06/2021 22:41

@extrababydust123 I still have light brown spotting but BFP since Sunday! I'm still in disbelief though. I have an early appointment at my ob/gyn on Thursday and see how it goes.

extrababydust123 · 01/06/2021 22:21

@feliznavidad2 I’m good thank you for asking 😁 and yay! Let’s see how long the cool calm and collected lasts 🤣🤣 I’m enjoying relaxing before we’re dtd every waking moment in fertile week haha!

@Bundaberg84 any updates lovely? X

feliznavidad2 · 01/06/2021 19:45

Hi @extrababydust123 😊 how are you?

All ok here. CD5. Also feeling calm, cool and collected - for another few days at least. 😆 We can pretend to be chilled TTCers this cycle... she says. 😛
