Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

@Piggieperson I'm so sorry. Thinking of you x

@Piggieperson I'm so sorry 😢 sending you love ❤️

So sorry @Piggieperson 😞💔

I’ve got cramps and bleeding like a period so I assume it’s a miscarriage

Hi @Piggieperson just to let you know I'm thinking of you. Xxx

Sorry @Piggieperson, the not knowing is horrible.. I hope everything's ok 😘Private scans are very expensive, I've paid £80 for mine and just for 5 minutes of total scanning time.. it's crazy but I contacted my local maternity services weeks ago and still yet to hear so feel like the scan is all I have right now..

Not much of an update here. Still got spotting. Did a clear blue digital and it says 1-2 weeks which puts it a bit behind if it’s accurate. GP says to contact epau, epau say that due to covid they don’t offer any reassurance or any early dating scans, so I don’t know what to do except wait. I’d be about 5 weeks now. Can’t afford a private scan, locally they start at £69.

@Piggieperson I see, it's a shame they can't be more helpful 😟
I hope this is going to stop and everything will be fine for you 🤞

@ArcEnCiel2022 epau won’t do anything until 7/8 weeks. There’s no slots for a set of blood tests for a week.

@Piggieperson I'm sorry you are going through this, it can be nothing to worry and quite common in early pregnancy, but I know it's very scary especially when you have experienced miscarriage. Have you tried to call your EPU?

i hope so, but my previous miscarriages have all started with brown discharge. I just feel helpless, all I can do is wait to see what happens over the next few days/weeks.

@Piggieperson Stay Positive! I also had some brown discharge right after I got my BFP.. I had it for about a day every time I wiped... but nothing since.. it may be old implantation blood?

Think positive @Piggieperson. It can be totally normal in early pregnancy. FX for you xx

I’m a bit (a lot) worried as I’ve had some brown discharge today. Been trying a few years for this and really don’t want to lose it, wish there was something I could do.

Thanks for your wishes @GoT1904 I’ve been feeling super sad about the loss. I think had I not been tracking and not taken a test I’d have just thought this was a particular heavy and emotional period but getting that positive result has really affected me but working towards a positive mindset and we can just try and have fun practicing more. Just at the tail end of it now and hopefully I’ll be more fertile. Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone still waiting for their BFP and those who have their BFP, are on track abs doing ok 👌 xx

@dinoparadise that sounds incredibly frustrating. Maybe call the GP and schedule a blood test as it may be that the HCG is still too low to be picked up? FX for you x

Hi all, my body is driving my up the wall.

The implantation bleeding I thought I had is now 2 and a half weeks ago, I'm still testing negative and my period is nowhere to be seen on CD41. Going by previous months, I should have started spotting last Friday with AF on Monday.

Last night my OH told me that he's noticed my breath has been a bit 'rusty' the past week and my mouth does taste like a scrap yard which was my number 1 pregnancy symptom the last 3 times.

I guess I can't be pregnant if I'm getting negative tests still, but what is going on?!

@GoT1904 It's great that you had a nice break and birthday! Hopefully this cycle will be more normal for you! 🤞

@Ginfizz90 Congratulations for your BFP! ❤️

@41andtryingforfirst That's a good approach! Maybe being more relaxed will make a difference 🤞

@Graceybaby of course, it will be nice to still have you around 😊

CD11 for me, I'm expecting ovulation CD14 or 15 based on my previous cycles, so I think I've entered in my fertile window!

Hi everyone! I'm back after sulking for a few days and now ready to take on the next cycle! Currently CD6 and expecting to ovulate on CD 12. That coincides with a weekend away in Cardiff so planning on letting my hair down and not stressing too much. I WILL be drinking and enjoying myself. I've been so strict with myself and nothing has happened yet so thought I'd try a different approach!! X

Also hope you don't all mind me still lurking.. really want to stay in contact and see you ladies get your bfps!

xxxx

@GoT1904 So glad your feeling better after your little break, it's good to step away sometimes.. if I'm honest I'm already feeling the same about the December babies chat I'm apart of.. it's quite overwhelming!

But as far as how I'm feeling, I'm all good, zero symptoms still.. and I mean literally nothing.. it was the same with my son so got me thinking it's another boy? But maybe this is just how my bodies deals with pregnancy 😅

Really hoping this is your month!! 💜

@Ginfizz90 Congratulations 🎉 My EDD is Christmas Eve! 😱

Xxx

Hi all!

I've been lurking and wanted to just say hello 👋🏻

I just got my BFP and EDD is Xmas day!🫢

Wishing you all luck with your BFPs, would love to have some other mums in the same boat I could chat to.

Xx

@ArcEnCiel2022 Thanks for replying! Ah that makes sense! I’m not using those sticks, I have a little monitor where you put those sticks in, if that makes sense 😂 But I’d also stopped using them last month as they were expensive!! So it just says low, high or peak. It says it had detected estrogen rise this morning so you’re right! I think I’m just freaked out because I thought I had a few more days and I’ve literally only just stopped AF? 😳 perhaps things are all over the place after coming off the pill! Hopefully I don’t peak for a few more days! Xx

@TSunshine Do you mean you had a flashing smiley? If that's the case it's normal to have that before a positive OPK, because the clearblue one is detecting first the oestrogens which are rising a few days before ovulation and then when you get the static smiley it's the LH peak. The OPK are detecting only the LH, which is rising only just before ovulation. I have been using the clearblue during 2 cycles, and then decided to stop them because I was getting 9 days of flashing smileys before my peak, and they are so expensive! But that said, if I were you I would dtd just in case because your reading at 0.48 is not that low so maybe you are already approaching your peak! I'm CD10 and my reading is only 0.15.
