Are you in the 2 week wait? How are you doing/feeling? After my either early loss/chemical last cycle I was hoping to try again this cycle (most fertile first 3 months after loss) but sadly I have been super poorly and only managed to baby dance once around peak 🤦🏼♀️ So I am not too hopeful this cycle, but at least we did try 😂

SGChome20 · 20/01/2022 16:47

Well unfortunately I've had a bit more spotting today at 16dpo so that was spotting on Monday and then today. It is very light but I'm really worried about it as this is how my MC started. I've called EPU just there and begged for progesterone so I'm waiting to hear back. The midwife said she is going to speak to the consultant but it might be tomorrow before they call back 😢 I'm just praying I get no more bleeding before then. Or in fact at all.

I even looked at the private fertility clinic near me but they don't do private prescriptions.

I went a little researching mad after getting the line and there was overwhelming amount of forums with can you trust wondfo/easy@home tests and their vvfl, majority turned out to be nothing and there were a few that were genuine pregnancies.

So of course you hope your one of the few not the majority!

How are you getting on @SGChome20 any updates?

@beanchopper17 really sorry. I defo thought that was a line. These tests are messing with emotions. I've read on here FRER's are even a bit dodgy sometimes just now.

@beanchopper17

Well seems like a dodgy wondfo, as AF has arrived!

2 cycles in a row, 2 different brands, of vvvfl's and then af 🤦🏼‍♀️

Good job I didn't get my hopes up 😂

Oh no. I'm so so sorry to read this. 😔

Bellesjp · 19/01/2022 20:47

@beanchopper17 no way 😭 that was such a convincing line, sorry af showed up.

I can feel my af coming too, been having weird cramps all eve! X

@SGChome20 oh definitely. Poor OH is feeling a little used at this point AF unfortunately started

SGChome20 · 19/01/2022 14:13

@Salamander91 so sorry it is disheartening when you've been trying for a long time. Not to mention it completely takes the joy out of sex! I hope AF stays away for you.

Salamander91 · 19/01/2022 07:53

13dpo and bfn I tend to get AF around 12/13 dpo. I feel like it's going to start today. 2.5 years since we started trying. 2 years since my miscarriage. I don't know why I even bother trying anymore. My other children were conceived so easily. I think that spoiled me

Congratulations to everyone with a bfp and good luck to everyone still waiting xx

@SGChome20 I have an app just called 'checker' (on apple phone) however no matter what phone you have you can search picture inverter in apps you should be able to find one. To make it darker I just edit it in my photo album 😊

That's a bummer, but try to think positive, feb isn't that far away, maybe do a clear blue week predictor test next week and failing that just try to keep yourself occupied (I know easier said than done, cause I know I would be hyper focused too)

Keep us updated how you get on 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

SGChome20 · 18/01/2022 19:37

@beanchopper17 I definitely see a line! As an aside, how do you make the photo go dark? I've seen people on here talking about inverting photos but I don't know how to do it!

@justanotherlaura sorry it's a negative. I know how you feel re age. It's an added pressure that I wish wasn't there.

EPU got back to me re spotting and have booked me in for an early scan but not till February as they say that's when they'll be able to see something. They wouldn't take bloods or anything. Feel a wee bit bummed about it but keeping my fingers crossed that I don't get anymore spotting/bleeding and just taking it a day at a time.

Bellesjp · 18/01/2022 19:18

@beanchopper17 I can defo see a line on that!!

Bfn at 12dpo so think I'm probably out

handbagsandholidays · 18/01/2022 19:10

@beanchopper17

Thank you.

If I am honest I am going to try contain my excitement until I get a clear second line and/or a late period, not long to go 🤞🏻

That's what I'm trying to do too! As pleased as I am, I won't believe it until I'm much further along xx

@beanchopper17

Ok I want to take back what I said, I did a 5hour hold and did a cheeky test after posting a moment ago.

Please tell me this isn't me having line eyes?!? Ermmm 🥴

I definitely see something!!! 🤞🏽😱 I have everything crossed for us. ♥️♥️

MrsKey2020 · 18/01/2022 17:49

@handbagsandholidays wow congrats and good luck 🤞🏻

Negative for me! I am not feeling too hopeful, it was a very odd try this cycle so I know we didn't give it our all. Period is due thurs/Fri so we shall see

@MrsKey2020

Congratulations *@handbagsandholidays* !!

So that bleeding I had yesterday started around 2:30 pm and lasted until about 9pm really red but not heavy enough to go onto a pad , the cramps have stopped and the bleeding has stopped so I'm not sure if that was my period or ? This has never happened before 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you. @MrsKey2020

Last month, I had a similar thing in that I started with spotting and it was only when I wiped. I then had a couple of heavier bleeding instances where it was enough to fill a tissue but not a pad. Unfortunately I later found out it was a chemical/ early MC but when I was speaking to friends and medics along the way, they assured me that it could also be very normal so don't assume the worst unless it is confirmed. Sending lots of positivity your way ♥️♥️

justanotherlaura · 18/01/2022 14:35

Thanks, it was a FRER and a IC, tried both, it's ok, I'm just really feeling it with the CP last month and I'm going to be 38 in a couple of months, just feels like an uphill struggle right now

handbagsandholidays · 18/01/2022 14:22

@justanotherlaura

Convinced myself I was pregnant again after my chemical last month but tested this morning at 12dpo and absolutely nothing. I guess the good thing about WFH is you can sit and cry at your desk all morning and no one can see you

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending big hugs. Do you mind me asking which tests you used? I am also 12dpo and had negative tests on everything but FRER. I'm not trying to give you false hope but I genuinely believe that you shouldn't rule yourself out until AF arrives x

Coastaldreamer · 18/01/2022 14:22

@justanotherlaura oh I really feel for you. You're also not out till AF arrives so there is some hope yet

[quote SGChome20]@handbagsandholidays completely understand how you feel. At least if they could do bloods and it was higher than 25, that's all you'd need to know. Keep in mind your symptoms only started after ovulation as well so it's more likely to be a new pregnancy 🤞[/quote]
I hope so! I guess as humans we always consider the worst case scenario as a mechanism to protect ourselves from hurt. I will keep you all updated on how things go in terms of blood tests/whether it's a sticky. Thank you all for keeping me sane during this TWW so far. X
