Hey ladies, I'm spending sooo much money each month on pregnancy tests... i think I'm addicted to peeing on sticks 😅 how early have you ladies actually got a positive test? My af is due in 6 days and i been testing all week - knowing its way to early but getting so disheartened seeing just the one line :( when should i start testing really?

@StillJustWaiting I'm good thank you, how are you?
So glad you're finally going to get some answers, are you still tracking ovulation or are you just relaxing abit?
I'm almost 11 weeks (still cannot believe it), so grateful but really missing my wine and Brie this Christmas!!
Enjoy yourself this Christmas, you bloody deserve it! and a massive HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! 🤍 xxx

Omg huge congrats @emmilyb 🥰🎉 that's fab news!! I feel as though I would feel the same as you if I fell pregnant now (would be 3rd time this year). I'm not going to test until after Xmas, just want to enjoy it and try to relax x

Stallsey · 15/12/2021 06:41

@emmilyb I'm good thank you 😍 9 & 1/2 weeks now, sickness has subsided abit but I'm absolutely exhausted.
Let us know if you book an early scan and how that goes lovely xxx

emmilyb · 14/12/2021 23:07

@Stallsey oh hello you❤️ how are you doing how many weeks are you now? Hope you're well!

Know everyone is on the same journey or has been at some point, so nice to have the support of fellow mumnetters, honestly its kept me sane throughout.

Baby dust to everyone hope this is all of your month! X

Stallsey · 14/12/2021 06:48

@emmilyb I completely understand the feeling of not feeling pregnant, I worried most of week 5 because I had no symptoms! Try not to worry (I know it's easier said then done!)
Sickness hit me like a tone of bricks at 6 weeks and that made it feel a lot more real!! Xxx

emmilyb · 13/12/2021 22:54

@WhatTheEll hey hun❤️ cd11 already! Your cycles seem to be so quickly because they're short, I've never heard of the bio you're talking about but am very curious now! Google here I come haha

I'm currently 10 days late on period and today got clear blue 3+ do not feel at all pregnant I felt more pregnant last month with the chemical. Feeling to book early scan because I'm too nervous about everything.

WhatTheEll · 13/12/2021 22:43

@StillJustWaiting So glad you've got the ball rolling and you're going for scans. In a weird way I hope you can relax a bit knowing its being investigated ♥️
I'm about CD11 just waiting to ovulate (again!). I bought a fertility cup thing that I might try this month. Anyone else tried one? I think it's called ferti-Lilly or something like that xx

emmilyb · 13/12/2021 17:52

Hey everyone ❤️
Hope you're all doing ok

@StillJustWaiting bless you babe I'm so glad the drs have finally seen you and getting the ball rolling hopefully you can find out what's going on soon xx

Stallsey · 13/12/2021 14:25

How is everyone doing?

Dr's sending me for scans before going forward she said something isn't right and we need to get to the bottom of it but she doesn't want to do anything without seeing if anything is visibly wrong first... so just a waiting game a guess xxx

@StillJustWaiting I'm so sorry that everything is so confusing for you at the minute ☹️ please let us know how the drs go tomorrow, hopefully you can get some answers ❤️

@WhatTheEll I have finally managed to get hold of my drs today and my GP has asked me to come in for a face to face appointment tomorrow!! :D
Hopefully I can get some answers at long last!
Thank you lovely, you girls are whats keeping me going at the moment, its nice to be able to chat and vent and not fee so alone with it all! ❤️
Thank you all ❤️❤️

@StillJustWaiting I'm so sorry!! I'm sending you huge hugs. You definitely need to get to the bottom of your cycles. Have you thought about going private? I know you should have to but GP's are a joke atm!
I know how you feel RE people falling pregnant asap. My best friend tried once for her first AND second. She's just had her second. So she was thinking about being pregnant, got pregnant then had the baby, all the same time I've been trying 🥺 it's heartbreaking xx

Spent my entire 25 minute lunch break calling my drs again today but still after 25 mins ringing got no answer... driving me insane this is... I just want to be able to have a baby of my own, I feel like a total failure at the moment!
I also feel really crappy about the fact that I am jealous that my sister is now pregnant with her 3rd and she wasn't even trying to fall pregnant :( don't get me wrong I am so happy for her and can not wait to have newborn cuddles 😍🥰 but I can't shift feeling jealous about it and that's making me feel worse for sure !
Xxx

I had a 37DC, then 34DC, then 52DC to a 14DC! What on earth is going on?! And what makes matters worse is I can't get hold of my drs for love or money!! 😩

Two weeks after period due IMO.

Get the cheap dip tests, pennies each.

WhatTheEll · 07/12/2021 16:28

@StillJustWaiting I haven't experienced that, no. How are you doing? X

StillJustWaiting · 06/12/2021 17:55

@WhatTheEll well it was just a little, when i wiped, yesterday when wrote that, however it's continued into a really really light flow 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️ I'm CD16.. so bazaar... have you ever had anything like this? Xxx

OP posts:
WhatTheEll · 06/12/2021 17:17

@StillJustWaiting Hey! Sorry to hear you're in a pickle. The spotting thing - some months I can have the smallest lightest streak of blood in my CM which can indicate ovulation. But it depends what the spotting is like? Is it like beginning of AF?

@emmilyb CONGRATULATIONS!!! Thats so exciting! Keep us up to date with your pregnancy journey!! 🥰❤️

@WhatTheEll how are you feeling ? Not long now till you can start trying again ay? :D

@Stallsey I'm so pleased everything is going well for you! How many weeks are you now? :D have you told anyone yet or are you keeping it on the dl for a while.? :)

I'm CD 15 today, flow predicts ovulation on CD23 and predicts a 37DC.
I have a feeling its going to be another long cycle this time round.... i have never before last cycle (other than implantation bleeding when i was pregnant) had spotting between periods, last cycle I had spotting on CD 13&14, which lead on to be a 52DC, as i said i am now CD15 and am spotting again!

Any ideas ?

Trying not to get overly excited as know it's still super early I'm 9dpo today going off opk unless I ovulated a bit earlier, af is still 5 days away, I did a clear blue digital and got 1-2 so will test again in few days to check on line progression ❤️ goodluck everyone else baby dust to you all!
