@calimc83 ah yes that reminds me of the EWCM chat earlier! I forgot to say I have always had the smallest amount of it (only ever after a bowel movement sorry tmi 🤪). We use preseed and it replicates your EWCM! Xx

@Skl2021 I’m going with some fire in my belly and a screenshot of the NICE recommendation 💪🏻💪🏻 One for all and all for one and all that 🤭
Gosh they like to keep us waiting don’t they! Just take out the five days and then we wouldn’t be waiting for the call 🙄 xx

calimc83 · 13/02/2022 21:03

@aesgriff yeah I get that! I'm ok...trying not to get tooo obsessed this cycle ( easier said than done 😂) I've used easy@home before and liked them..gonna try step away from them this cycle though! X

Skl2021 · 13/02/2022 21:01

@aesgriff yes IV heard people still having to fight for progesterone even though they should be having it! Hope you get somewhere with them 🤞🤞we shouldn't have to fight so hard for something little that might help us 😩. Yes I know what u mean I was still getting strong positives after I miscarried. Hopefully the spotting stops soon and it's just baby getting comfy! Nope not heard anything back must have forgot about me 🤣 🤦 said up to 5 working days so will have to wait until then xx

@Skl2021 thank you me too 🤞🏻🤞🏻 I’m going to ask for progesterone and quote the Tommy’s PRISM at them. I imagine they’ll send me through to EPU who just aren’t always helpful 🙄
I’m the same I found out at 8 weeks so 2 weeks without knowing. It was the worst feeling in the world. Not sure I can do a MMC again.. deffo no cramping other then those weird twisty tight sensations.
Not gonna test in the morning will probs only test again if the bleeding gets heavier or towards the end of the week. I don’t feel like seeing the lines makes me feel any better as they were there even when the baby had died so I don’t feel like I can trust them yknow?
Have you heard from the midwife? Xx

Skl2021 · 13/02/2022 20:48

@aesgriff will you be testing again in the morning? Yes I bled with my MMC from around 5 weeks too but lost baby at ten weeks found out at 12. I never bled with my previous pregnancies so knew something was wrong. Lots of people do bleed and it can be normal so try not to worry 🤞 as long as it's not bright red and your cramping. Brown usually means old which is good news. I'm keeping everything crossed for you anyway 🤞🙌✨ xx

@Ganesh2022 wishing you a happy time away! Are you anywhere nice?

@Skl2021 thank you so much ♥️♥️ Will update in the morning. I had spotting with my MMC but at around 5 weeks. Lost baby at 6 weeks sadly but think I am just a bleeder 😩 how are you?

@MO22 I’d say it’s been pretty consistent over the last few days. Not much on a pantyliner and a watery light brown. I feel like it may be slowing down but there’s no cramping or anything 🤞🏻 Good luck 🤞🏻 with your FRER. Sending you soooooo much baby dust and just please please please let it be positive. If it’s not then we’re here to listen to the offload and don’t feel bad for doing so! What symptoms do you have?

@PamelaDoov hoping time speeds up as it’s always the slowest during the TWW!

@calimc83 thank you! In all honesty it just doesn’t feel real. I’m just acting like I’m not pregnant if that makes sense? Probs just a protective mechanism my brain is trying to do. How are you doing? I meant to say what OPKs are you using? I used OneStep and found them rubbish. I changed to Easy@Home and found them soooo much easier to read and there were a lot clearer lines too.

@bunnykins123 thank you!! Everything crossed 🤞🏻 Please please pleaseeeee!! How are things for you?

Xxxxx

calimc83 · 13/02/2022 20:05

@Ganesh2022 I have it in my head I'll call it a day if I get to 40 and it hasn't happened ( mainly because I want to go away for my 40th 😂) x

bunnykins123 · 13/02/2022 20:04

@MO22 I hear peeing on a cat is a very reliable way to tell if your pregnant 😉 good luck testing tomorrow! The 'test fear' is real, at least you should have a pretty good indicator tomorrow at 12dpo 🤞

@aesgriff that's amazing! Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you and a sticky bean 🤞

@Ganesh2022 so glad I'm not the only person checking out the age of other mums-to-be!

Skl2021 · 13/02/2022 20:04

@MO22 haha that's a new one 🤣 poor cat better stay out of your way!! I used to pee on opks if I had no tests or I would buy lots of Ic's but there so unreliable 🤦 lots of evaps! Xx

@Ganesh2022 I know! I think she was v v shocked but yes super happy x

calimc83 · 13/02/2022 20:03

@MO22 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

MO22 · 13/02/2022 19:54

@Skl2021 I don't think I'm far off a small breakdown and peeing on anything that's left, including the cat

MO22 · 13/02/2022 19:53

@Ganesh2022 I think more terror than restraint at this point but thank you. I think next cycle I need to buy some internet cheapies HPTs as I have just have scary FRER and a CB digital in the drawer now!

Ganesh2022 · 13/02/2022 19:50

@calimc83 yeahhh despite my worries about it I think it used to be pretty standard to have babies into women's 40's, just that it was usually baby number 10 or something...amazing she didn't find out for that long, I hope it was a happy surprise!

Ganesh2022 · 13/02/2022 19:48

@PamelaDoov So hoping you get a nice birthday surprise. And very jealous of your restraint; @MO22, too .

Skl2021 · 13/02/2022 19:46

@PamelaDoov definitely will! Soon be testing time 🤞 you will be too preoccupied with birthday plans 💃🎂 xx

@MO22 hope you get good news in the morning 🤞🤞🤞🤞 haha that's why I used my tests as I was sick of getting negatives and wanted to get rid of them all and wait for af 🤣🤦 xx

@aesgriff ahh that's good news re the darker line! How are u feeling about everything? Xx

calimc83 · 13/02/2022 19:44

@Ganesh2022 You crack me up! 😆 I remember someone I used to work with found out she was pregnant for the first time at 43 and didn't realise till she was 18 weeks....😅 went on to have a healthy pregnancy! X

MO22 · 13/02/2022 19:40

*a loon!

MO22 · 13/02/2022 19:40

@Ganesh2022 hope you have an amazing holiday, pissing on money made me lol, we all do it! I've not bled at all today now despite frantically checking every ten mins. I've become loon.

MO22 · 13/02/2022 19:39

@aesgriff amazing news re a darker line! How heavy is the spotting? Everything I read said spotting is pretty normal in early pregnancy but what do I know bar what Dr Google tells me.

I'm too scared to do my FRER tonight, I tried to hold my wee in and could only manage two hours, so chickened out and used a OPK lol, which had a faint line which tells me sweet FA.

I shall wait until tomorrow when I'm 12 DPO... Really feeling the stress of this, I want to know either way now, symptom spotting has me convinced it's AF one second and I'm pregnant the next, it's a rollercoaster.

@PamelaDoov 🤞🏼 hope it flies by and you have an amazing birthday gift!

PamelaDoov · 13/02/2022 19:30

Right. I’ve just gotta get through 3 days at work this week. Then Friday and all weekend I have fun birthday plans. Then Monday, also known as 13dpo, is my birthday. Then I can test. That sounds like it’ll go by pretty quick!

Skl2021 · 13/02/2022 18:26

@Ganesh2022 enjoy your holiday 🎉 xx

@aesgriff lovely news hope the spotting stops soon 🤞 yes definitely get onto the gp! Keeping everything crossed for you 💞🤞 x

Ganesh2022 · 13/02/2022 18:12

@MO22 Ha, I was just going nuts testing. I'm only 4 dpo. May as well piss on money, I took a test the other day at 2 dpo lol. We are away as well and I think I may have my husband hide the tests so that we don't end the holiday on a downer. Let's see if I have that kind of restraint. I've had the kind of bleeding you're describing if sex was...rougher...than usual, and also last year had it due to a benign polyp (but had it for like months in a row). I'm hopeful for you that you're not out!

@arianasky f* this. Sometimes those are the only words for a situation :(

@calimc83, @bunnykins123 Suddenly I'm becoming so much more conscious of how old anyone who's pregnant is, always looking for people my age or older lol. Amazing I don't yell "HOW OLD ARE YOU" to everyone on the street.

Hope everyone is doing as ok as possible, haven't had an in-depth read in deference to my husband saying "tone it down while we're away", but wanted to check in as really, really like feeling the support on here.
Sending peaceful vibes to everyone.
