@Bringonbaby3 That’s amazing for 11dpo. With my son my cheapies were still blank even at 12dpo so I wouldn’t worry about it :)

Bringonbaby3 · 13/02/2022 07:46

Don’t want to waste money on frer/clear blue until after my period due (wed-fri) as prone to chemicals!

TheBirdintheCave · 13/02/2022 07:45

Sorry to hear that @Nico89 :( Hopefully it’s nothing.

Bringonbaby3 · 13/02/2022 07:44

Sorry to hear it @Nico89 lots of people get bleeding in early pregnancy so fingers crossed for you.

I did a repeat test today…11dpo. Disappointed it’s not darker but appreciate it’s still early. What do you guys think?

Oh I’m sorry @Nico89. Another thing that causes lots of anxiety isn’t it? I’ve been spotting (and had some actual bleeding) every day since last Saturday. Totally panicked at first, now between calm and panic. I’m still getting BFPs, my boobs are big and tender which I try to keep reminding myself of. The problem with spotting/bleeding (as far as I know) is it can mean miscarriage or it can mean nothing. It’s all so anxiety provoking! I spoke to EPU yesterday; she said wait about a week and take another test (as if I’d wait that long 🤣), then contact them again. Unless of course bleeding becomes heavier and there’s pain in which case contact them/A&E. So sorry you’re having to experience this, sending hugs xx

@Nico89 aw I really hope it doesn't come to much. Such a worry 😔 hope your okay ❤️ xx

Nico89 · 13/02/2022 01:06

Experiencing spotting now 😢 I really hope it's mild and not cause for concern

Nico89 · 12/02/2022 22:04

@Bringonbaby3 I'm horribly anxious too. I worked out that based on likely ovulation dates I'm not as far along as I thought so only just coming up 5 weeks tomorrow so I'm terrified of this not being viable. But worrying won't change anything like @DancinOnTheCeiling said x
We're all in this together ❤️

BH1926 · 12/02/2022 20:53

@Bringonbaby3 I totally feel the same. With having CPs last year now just worrying this one will go the same way! I keep trying to remind myself of that too @DancinOnTheCeiling worry won't change anything. Xx

MrsSamRowley · 12/02/2022 20:25

This TTC business makes you go crazy...I was just sitting with my husband and had a sudden sharp pain and I'm thinking IMPLANTATION! I'm only 4dpo... 🙈

TheBirdintheCave · 12/02/2022 18:22

Thanks for the positive stories guys! :) I just feel utterly wretched right now. I’ve spent all day sleeping and my toddler seems very confused as to why mummy can’t play with him :( I can’t wait until I can eat again. I’m so hungry.

Forgot to send xx for @Natalie2304 😊.

Also @Bringonbaby3, it’s so hard not to feel anxious isn’t it? I too feel very anxious. It’s just more uncertainty and what ifs: is this pregnancy viable, when will I know for sure etc. I try to keep reminding myself that worrying isn’t going to change the outcome of the pregnancy. Don’t know if that’s helpful at all xx

Congratulations 🥳🥳 @Bringonbaby3, great news. Wishing you a sticky bean xx

Sorry @everyone who has had BFNs and no AF. That must be so confusing and frustrating. I hope hope hope it means you’re still to get your BFPs 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx

Really chuffed for you @Natalie2304 that your LP has extended.

@TheBirdintheCave I agree with everyone else, don’t rule yourself out based on being poorly.. when I fell pregnant with DC1 I had a huge flare up of my health condition and was on tons of meds and still fell... this time just before the BFP I had a tooth infection and was on antibiotics plus had thrush/BV and was miserable/poorly and still got my BFP. Fingers crossed for you xx

It’s hard to explain but almost like I want to fast forward 2 weeks and just know if I’m actually pregnant or not!

Bringonbaby3 · 12/02/2022 17:20

Thanks for all the congratulations!

It’s kind of a weird feeling getting the BfP. It was happiness at first but quickly turned to more anxiety than I had during 2WW! I’ve had a few chemicals so getting past the next 2 weeks will be a bigger challenge yet I think! I think I’ve looked back at the positive test about 50 times today! Not sure what I’m expecting to happen by keeping checking it !!

Jellysweet · 12/02/2022 16:49

Congratulations! @Bringonbaby3!

I'm 1dpo now, not looking forward to the next 2 weeks of symptom-spotting Sad

oldermam · 12/02/2022 14:46

13dpo. No af and a bfn. No idea what's going on. I normally have af by now!

Congrats the to bfps!

Natalie2304 · 12/02/2022 13:26

@Bringonbaby3 congratulations!

I've finally got AF! 3 days late but that means my LP has extended to 13days! 🥳 so really happy about that.

Is there a thread yet for March testers? Guess it's time to hop over to there 😒

BH1926 · 12/02/2022 11:33

@Bringonbaby3 aw exciting! Let us know when you tell him 😁 I told DH same day as had CPs before so incase this one doesn't stick he knows why I'm upset if that makes sense xx

BH1926 · 12/02/2022 11:30

@TheBirdintheCave I had covid during FW and after O this cycle and got my BFP 10DPO so definitely don't rule yourself out xx

Bringonbaby3 · 12/02/2022 09:34

@TheBirdintheCave don’t rule yourself out yet! I’ve had a horrible flu like illness for past 6 days with fevers. Still got my BFP today! Not optimistic it’ll stick so staying on here but it can still happen!

My husbands away at a work rugby event today so haven’t told him yet! Don’t know whether to tell him tomorrow or wait until the following weekend when I’ll feel more confident about it? With my daughter I didn’t tell him for a week!

kizzy97 · 12/02/2022 09:32

Congrats @Bringonbaby3 hoping for a sticky bean for you! xx

@Nico89 I had cramps when pregnant with DS for the first few weeks and then combined with when I had spotting as well sent me into overdrive! It's normal as it's meant to be your uterus stretching and accommodating I was told xx

Chickened out of testing this morning, now kicking myself as I'm obviously meant to be out for drinks tonight!

Purple29 · 12/02/2022 09:21

Congrats @BringOnBaby3!!!

@TheBirdintheCave don't think that when I fell with DS i was so ill with the flu from like ovulation day for about 10 days after. Like really ill!!! I had never had a BFP in 2 years so I was so so shocked. Our bodies are capable of so much!!!

BH1926 · 12/02/2022 09:13

Congratulations @Bringonbaby3 xx

TheBirdintheCave · 12/02/2022 07:55

Congrats @Bringonbaby3! :)

3dpo here and I managed to give myself food poisoning like an idiot. I’m guessing that’s me out now as I don’t think an embryo will implant in a sick body :(
