Trying for a November baby 🎇🍁🥮

@Sarahmayo I think when you're pregnant the cervix gets more blood to it and irritates more easily? I'm not a doctor or midwife though and if it's a lot of blood I'd defo get it checked xx

@MrsGrealish sorry to hear you have Covid btw, hope your not too unwell with it

@MrsGrealish Thanks for your reply. When I was pregnant last year we were scared to DTD, then when we did I started spotting on and off from that point until I miscarried. I'm not thinking that DTD caused the miscarriage but maybe your right I have an easily irritated cervix. It's just such a rollercoaster, I thought I was all back on track to go for it this month, now I'm doubting again and worrying my hormones are still a mess and I'm not even ovulating

@Sarahmayo could it be ovulation spotting? Or irritation of the cervix when you are DTD. This cervix irritation happened to me about a week ago (haven't let him near me since and now I've got covid I have a valid reason 😂)

Hi ladies,
Congratulations on all with BFPs and 🤞🏻 for those waiting. I am hoping some of you could give me a bit of advise and support please. I sadly had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in Dec 21, which passed naturally. I had a very light bleed when my AF was due in Jan and in Feb had my normal expected AF. I am now meant to be in my ovulation stage, I had signs of ovulation and we have been DTD everyday. Today I have had some brown spotting. I'm so confused, my hormones and brain is all over the place. Any advise would be much appreciated. Thank you x

Hi all,
I’ve been watching from afar.
Congratulations to everyone who has had BFP’s in the recent days!
A bit confused and hoping for some advice 😵‍💫
This is our second month of TTC baby number 2. DS is 10 months old (we want them close together). I breastfed for 4 months before stopping. My periods came back straight away and they basically went back to ‘pre-baby’, always 28 days and always regular as clockwork.

We DTD loads this month, including the run up, on ovulation day and then for a few days after. Then we did a final try, not to miss out.

I am 17 DPO and AF was due on Saturday. I have had 2 negative tests…
Any ideas? Do I just keep waiting for AF or do I call doctors? 🤷‍♀️

@MrsGrealish yes that’s why I’m not seeing it as I’m pregnant for now, although there is hope! I had retained products 5 days after miscarriage, seen on the scan. They took a blood test to measure HCG, it was around 900. That night I passed tissue and the bleeding stopped the next day. Went back for 48 hr bloods and HCG had dropped to 400. Did a FRER a week later and the line was fainter but still very positive, then I switched to cheapie dip tests from Amazon which showed negative. So now of course, I’m wondering if the HCG never actually went down and the cheapie tests were faulty 😵‍💫 The positive is that I’m almost certain I ovulated… I’ll retest on Thursday @DM1720

@Nik84 I would test again tomorrow and you will know if it’s eve a small bit darker. I can’t imagine you’d have enough hcg in your system to have such a positive 4 weeks later! Esp if you had a negative a couple of weeks ago!! I would imagine this is a new positive! Best of luck!!

@MrsGrealish oh no! I hope you’re doing ok! Are you sick? Nice clear line today on the pregnancy test though… that’s nice to see I’m sure!
@Charl881 9dpo is extremely early! I would consider 10dpo early too!
Thanks all for the well wishes on my positive. I’m not letting myself get too carried away in case it all goes wrong again. But I am very hopeful of course ☺️

@Nik84 when I miscarried I had retained products (I hate that term) only found out by a massive bleed 2 weeks after I thought miscarriage was over so my hcg stayed up for a while. So totally different situation. Not helpful I know

@MrsGrealish oh no, not the second line you wanted to see! Fingers crossed you don’t get it too badly.

And I just tested positive for covid. Lovely
@Bubblesandballoons hold off as long as you can xx

@MrsGrealish a much stronger line! How many dpo are you now? Congrats!

@Bubblesandballoons I know, I was determined to wait until at least Wednesday but couldn’t help myself with all these BFPs.

@MrsGrealish that’s a fab line congrats

@Nik84 hoping this is a new bfp for you 🤞🏻
@Coastaldreamer @Charl881 there’s still time, 9dpo is very early still.
@MadamMaltesers I’d still dtd as you can ovulate up to 36 hours after your peak.
@DM1720 congrats on your bfp

8dpo and seeing everyone testing is tempting me to test 😂. Trying to hold out till Friday.

@MrsGrealish that's a great line!

@Nik84 I'm trying to think back to April. What kind of IC did you use?

I got a better line last night😊

@Nik84 tentative congrats 🥳

@Charl881 I know what you mean. Keep thinking I'm out :(

@MadamMaltesers definitely worth giving it a go today! You can’t be sure you will 100% ovulate, or how long the egg will live for.

@Coastaldreamer BFN on a IC at 9dpo for me as well today. Keep telling myself it’s too early but feeling pretty sure it’s not happened this month.

@Nik84 I’m clueless about how long HGC would stay in your blood for but if you do another test in two days then the line should get stronger if it’s a new pregnancy. You could always contact the doctor to see if they would do bloods as well for peace for mind. Hopefully it is a new one and all goes well for you .

Also, from yesterday I’ve had brown discharge 😵‍💫

I’ve just had a BFP! But I can’t bring myself to believe it yet. I tested positive for 2 weeks after miscarriage, waited a few days and tested with IC and was negative. I’ve just used a FRER 4 weeks post miscarriage and there is a faint positive. Now wondering if the IC weren’t showing but it’s still a positive from the miscarriage! Hope this makes sense?

BFN today on a IC. I think... I saw maybe the tiniest hint of a line but I also just think it was my eyes so I binned it. 9/10 DPO so could just be too early

congratulations @DM1720 a line is a line, pray its a sticky one for you.

its ovulation day today hardly did anything leading up to it, another wasted cycle. Is it worth giving it a shot today or would it be too late?

Tentative congratulations @DM1720 that's a good line on a IC for 9dpo 🎉
