Anyone want to keep each other company ?

I'm 3dpo and it feels like forever already!

@Hannabanana2021 of it’s just spotting and you’re that early dpo it could be implantation bleeding. I know the hope can be a bit paralysing. I would definitely consider even just ringing EPAU for a chat and see what they think. I have to everything crossed that you have a good outcome.

@Hannabanana2021

Haven't been able to sleep well. So I've taken the test only 12 hours apart exactly. Top test was yesterday (5pm) and bottom one this morning (5am) Can't see much difference but it's still positive. I know I'm going to drive myself crazy with this 🤯 11dpo
Forgot to mention still spotting this morning. Nothing in underwear only pink blood when I wipe

Hannabanana2021 · 16/12/2021 18:48

I am going to test again tomorrow and hope the lines darker. But I'm not feeling hopeful. Will post the results here x

SGChome20 · 16/12/2021 18:42

@Hannabanana2021 sorry to hear you’re bleeding. It’s awful and you don’t know what to think when it happens.

Hannabanana2021 · 16/12/2021 18:12

@Bubblegum093

I would be so scared too with the bleeding especially after your MC like you say, hope it’s nothing too serious for you hun. Sending you a big hug! Your test today definitely looks positive, congratulations! Fingers crossed it’s a sticky bean, can you speak to a Dr ASAP about the bleeding?
The EPAU said to come straight back if I fell pregnant again so they can monitor. But I think I'm going to leave it until after Christmas and just monitor myself. The 3 scans and 6 blood tests and mentioning of Ectopics and Molars are still raw in my head. As my HCG was rising slowly and the bleeding hadn't started they were also suggesting surgery with cameras to check the tubes Sad I believed I was emotionally ready to try again, but you can't predict your fear when you fall pregnant again 😰

@Hannabanana2021 I am certainly no expert here but fingers crossed for you that the positive result sticks! It seems entirely possible that it would have been negative yday still at 9DPO and positive today.

@Bubblegum093

Welcome *@ladycarlotta* ☺️ So sorry to hear of your miscarriages and chemicals, that must be so tough to deal with. It sounds positive about learning more about your cycle though and fingers crossed the cyclogest will help.

Will be thinking of you tomorrow @SGChome20 when you do your test. Let us know how you get on!

Oh no @Hannabanana2021 I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriage too. It’s just soo awful for anyone to go through! I started BBT this month & still wrapping my head around it but can be a useful insight into your cycle. I came off the pill in sept after being on it around 12yrs so get what you mean about body being all over the place!

I caved this morning at 9dpo to do a test - as suspected was a BFN. Too early but couldn’t help myself incase there was a very faint line. Its made me think this month is over for me now even though I know it’s still early days 😔

I've just had a positive test. It was completely negative yesterday and I am bleeding. After just mentally recovering from my miscarriage in my last cycle I'm going out of my mind. I'm so scared and just want to cry Sad

Hannabanana2021 · 16/12/2021 10:23

10DPO and started spotting and cramping today. I reckon I'm out and it's the start of AF. Negative test yesterday. This is the first cycle after early miscarriage so I don't think I was expecting much to happen :( this cycle I'm going to start charting BBT and being more on the ball with Premom OPKs. My body has been all over the place since Nexplanon removal in Sept Sad

HelloPippa · 16/12/2021 08:49

@SGChome20 keeping everything crossed for you. I’m on AF now so just waiting it out!

SGChome20 · 16/12/2021 08:39

@ladycarlotta hopefully being on progesterone will help and you’ll get a wee sticky bean soon. Must have been a really tough year.

How’s everyone getting on? I’m holding off till tomorrow to test again. I’ll be 15dpo so if I didn’t get a +ve then I think I’m definitely out. I’ve been getting diarrhoea (tmi!) which is really unusual for me and still no sign of AF so definitely classed as late now. I felt a b it nauseous last night as well but then I think it’s really too early for that so I think I’m reality I’ve just indulged in too many sugary xmas treats as I normally don’t really and it’s upset my stomach. Time will tell!

HelloPippa · 15/12/2021 18:59

I am the same! I didn’t realise it was a little on the late side until starting this process

ladycarlotta · 15/12/2021 17:46

@hellopippa around day 19 of a 30 day cycle

HelloPippa · 15/12/2021 15:35

Welcome @ladycarlotta, sorry to hear it’s taken so long so far. What day do you typically ovulate, if you don’t mind me asking?

ladycarlotta · 15/12/2021 11:39

hello all, please can I join you? I'm about 6dpo after a year of miscarriages and chemicals. Now I do OPKs I can see that I actually ovulate quite late in my cycle and have a short luteal phase so I'm hoping that knowing that might make a difference. I've started on cyclogest to hopefully help my uterus lining thicken faster.

Anyway, fingers crossed for us all! I hope this is our month x

SGChome20 · 15/12/2021 08:53

@Frida9 welcome! I posted this website before www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/ which I found useful. I’ve seen it posted on here a few times. It doesn’t stop you testing early right enough 😂😂

Frida9 · 14/12/2021 21:26

Thank you @HelloPippa will give that a read.
Trying not to obsess or get stressed but it's hard when my sister decided she wanted to get pregnant and then got pregnant first month trying, I'm really happy for her and I love my niece but it's easy to wish I had that for myself. Hopefully this month will be a bfp, af due on Christmas day!

Bubblegum093 · 14/12/2021 21:21

Sorry didn’t see your post with the link @HelloPippa - so handy! I’m gonna have a good read of it now aswell

Bubblegum093 · 14/12/2021 21:19

Me too I think I’m an addict now to taking it every morning 😂... and hoping it stays high for me now

Welcome @Frida9 - same as me I’m 7dpo too! I think for best results it’s best to wait for the day your period is due / 14dpo. I might test on 10 or 12dpo though I don’t think I can hold restraint for another week 😂

HelloPippa · 14/12/2021 21:16

Welcome @Frida9! I thought this was a good article www.avawomen.com/avaworld/how-soon-can-you-take-a-pregnancy-test/

Frida9 · 14/12/2021 20:50

Hi, hope I'm ok to join.

7 dpo for me, been getting cramps on and off for the last week but I don't know if it means anything as I tend to get that normally.

I'm quite new to TTC, how early can you usually test and get an accurate result? Different websites are giving different answers and there's so much to read! Smile
