Thank you so much @SantiagoSister & @WorriedD93 Xxx love to you ladies.
I really really want to be pregnant and am quite worried about the alternative - if there’s tissue left in having to have another erpc or taking tablets to bring on a bleed will not be enjoyable! What will be will be I suppose. Going out for a big brunch now to take my mind off things for a while!

WorriedD93 · 20/11/2021 09:57

Good luck @gvs97 keep us updated ❤️❤️❤️ Or @Cruzxo that is so confusing! Hope you get answers soon maybe book bloods at the doctors if you can xxxx

SantiagoSister · 20/11/2021 08:50

@gvs97 that’s so true, definitely that time of year where there’s lots of things to do all the time so it will definitely help take our minds off things for a bit. So sorry to hear that you’re still in the dark with things, it must be so frustrating 😔 I’m pleased that they’re re-doing your bloods today, fingers crossed you will know what’s going on by the end of today and you can move forward either way, hopefully it is a new pregnancy and I will be keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼

@Essexnewbie same! I find myself thinking about it every few hours too. Not helpful! Yes you’re definitely right there, they can hang around for days so I’m sure you’ve done enough this month to be in with a chance 🤞🏼 Really hoping this is our month!

@Cruzxo that’s so confusing for you 😩 it just doesn’t make sense does it, I would never dream that many tests could’ve been faulty!? But so odd how the FRER is negative. Maybe you could get hold of a few different brands of tests to see what they say, I see lots of people using the easy@home tests from Amazon which you could get hold of pretty quickly. Good luck! ✨

Cruzxo · 20/11/2021 08:31

Aww thank you I just have a gut feeling those tests are just s**t! Especially now I’ve done an FRER and also a digital and both of those were negative ☹️Xx

Essexnewbie · 20/11/2021 08:11

@Curlywurly3 @SantiagoSister I feel you on the worry of not doing enough and also the time going slowly!! I just can’t seem to take my mind off it all for longer than a few hours? I definitely need a new hobby 🙈 Natural Cycles told me I could have ovulated on day 14 or 15 (I thought 14 originally) so now I’m like eek did we BD late enough too!? But as you say, the swimmers can survive a few days so hopefully it’s okay. We just need to try and relax and enjoy our weekends (easier said than done ha!) X

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 08:07

@SantiagoSister good idea keep busy! It’s getting to the time of year where there’s a million things to do every weekend which will help!
I’m still none the wiser if I’m pregnant or not. At the hospital Thursday they could see something in my womb but it’s very very small so could be the start of a new pregnancy or a whole number of things including left over tissue from miscarriage. They did bloods and will be doing more bloods today to see hcg levels so fingers crossed by the end of today I will have a clearer picture.

SantiagoSister · 20/11/2021 07:47

@Curlywurly3 aw try not to worry too much, you’ve absolutely done enough! When I conceived last time we never DTD on O day either, and we still fell 😊 we’ve done the same this month, we started trying too early in my cycle as I wasn’t sure when I would ovulate, so we’d burned out by the time O day was here lol try not to worry, you’ve definitely covered all bases, I’ve read the day before O is your most fertile time and you DTD on that day. I’m still feeling very impatient 😂 3DPO now, I’d forgotten how long the TWW feels. Going to be busy today so I hope that passes some time! How’s everyone else doing?

gvs97 · 20/11/2021 07:43

@Cruzxo digital takes higher hcg levels to pick up so may still be positive but you are not far along enough yet x

Cruzxo · 20/11/2021 07:42

@Curlywurly3 thank you but I’ve just done a CB digital and it says not pregnant 🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess they are all evap lines 🥴xx

Curlywurly3 · 20/11/2021 07:40

@Cruzxo if they’re not positive then I don’t know what is! Those lines are nice and blue. 🤞🏻 for your positive on a FRER!

@Essexnewbie @SantiagoSister @ajayelbee so I’m now 1DPO and I’m worried we haven’t covered all bases. DTD 5 days, 2 days and 1 day before O but not yesterday (O day) I know the little swimmers can last a few days but I just wish we had done it yesterday too, frustrating!

How is everyone feeling?

WorriedD93 · 19/11/2021 21:40

Good luck @CrumchyLeafs sounds very promising if you had implantation bleeding! 🥰

CrumchyLeafs · 19/11/2021 20:31

@Cruzxo Congratulations!!! Definitely positive!

I am going to be 10DPO tomorrow and gonna break open the first FRER. I only have 3 of them but I can't wait any longer! Trying really hard not to get my hopes up too much and not to be disheartened if it is negative. I had pink and brown spotting on CD 7&8 and I read somewhere you can't get a positive until 4 days after implantation?

WorriedD93 · 19/11/2021 19:58

@Cmacq32 defiantly going to try not to test again till next week when I’m 13/14dpo xxxx

Cmacq32 · 19/11/2021 19:08

Don't lose hope, I was negative 10, 11 & 12 DPO(yup I took them each day 😅) when I conceived my DD and day 13 got my positive! 🤞❤️🤞

Cmacq32 · 19/11/2021 18:34

Hey can you please give me some thoughts as I'm a bit confused with what's happening and a bit concerned something is 'wrong'.

11/12dpo had a small bleed yesterday (100% not AF)
I've had ALOT of cramping front and my back has been twingy (not normal for AF in anyway).
I assumed AF would arrive through the night. But nope.
Today-put on a pad expecting AF. Cramping. Very thirsty, sore head, sore back. A few pink and red bits when I wipe again this 100% not AF...yet. If it was my body doesn't belong to me because this is not my usual responce to AF. I feel really off.
But the cramping isn't stopping. It's been off/on since 8dpo

Tested negative today with quick responce test.

Any advice 😩 this doesn't feel right or normal!

WorriedD93 · 19/11/2021 18:32

@Cruzxo they’re the sensitive ones I used so god knows, I’m only on cycle day 23 so I guess but I’m defiantly not testing till next week now! Aww 🥰 massive congratulations to you xxxx
@Natalie2304 I felt nausea the yesterday morning mid sleep but didn’t know if I was over thinking it or not. So potentially l. I hope we both get our BFP xxxx

Natalie2304 · 19/11/2021 18:32

When did you do your FRER? They definitely are getting darker but if I was you I would call the doctors and just ask for some bloods doing to put your mind at rest. Xx

Cruzxo · 19/11/2021 18:26

@Natalie2304 they are in order yes. I have had nausea and backache for about 2 weeks. About a week before my bleed. Also had groin pain and some headaches. Xx

Natalie2304 · 19/11/2021 18:23

Girls who have got their BFP did you experience any nausea in your TWW?
I'm 9DPO and I woke up at 5am feeling so sick...I eventually got back to sleep for half hour before DD woke up and it had gone off. But it's just started again now. I've been fine the rest of the day! Xx

Natalie2304 · 19/11/2021 18:21

How the tests are laid out, are they the order you've done them in? Because they seem to get darker which would make me think it is right sweetie xxx

Cruzxo · 19/11/2021 18:14

@WorriedD93 thank you and if I am I would actually be over the moon, I haven’t been actively TTC but have spoke with my partner and we agreed to just let it be natural and happen when it happens. If I am pregnant, I wouldn’t say you’re out yet at 10dpo because I’m pretty sure I am past that but not sure how far! Xx

WorriedD93 · 19/11/2021 18:13

@Cruzxo defiantly a positive! ❤️❤️

@Natalie2304 I caved again, negative 10dpo cd l23 I’m losing hope xxxx

Cruzxo · 19/11/2021 18:09

@Natalie2304 thank you but they all come up about 10 mins after and they are fully there within about 30 mins so I really do not know? 🥴 I have a digital to take tomorrow but I’m scared it will be negative 😞. My situation is slightly different. I’m sorry I haven’t responded to how many DPO I am but the reason is I have noooo idea. My period was 4 days late and only lasted 3 days and very off and on. I called my doctor and she said to do a pregnancy test. Now I’m so confused! 😣xx

Natalie2304 · 19/11/2021 18:05

@Cruzxo I don't think you need to worry about your FRER! That is most definitely positive! Congratulations xx
