@mamazac oh I hope it's good news for you šŸ¤žšŸ»
I'm ok felt a bit nauseous this morning before work but don't think it's anything. I'm 8DPO today xx

mamazac · 29/08/2022 20:02

@EdinburghGirl1 @My2boysaremyworld @BellaTheDarkOverlord how are you all doing? What CD are you on now? X

mamazac · 29/08/2022 20:00

Hey everyone, sorry I've been so quiet on here I've been trying to distance myself from it all for a little bit.

Took a clear blue test this afternoon as woke up in the night vomiting with no real explanation, and this happened when I fell pregnant with my first. Extremely faint line (expected at 9dpo with a 2 hour hold) so waiting to test again in the morning. Unfortunately don't have any FRER as most shops near me closed due to bank holiday. So we'll see what happens in the morning.

Going to catch up on all the messages I've missed x

@EdinburghGirl1 Hoping it doesn't arrive for us x

@Ballygowenwater Don't worry if you can't keep up. Thread's here for as and when anyone needs support or advice x Glad you found some time to DTD x

@BirdIsland Sorry to hear that. Treat yourself to something nice x Hopefully next cycle will be yours x

Sorry to hear about the AF's turning up, sending lots of hugs xx

BirdIsland · 29/08/2022 14:20

AF arrived this morning for me too, a bit later than I was expecting but I knew it was on the way. Sorry for those who've also had AF arrive xx

Ballygowenwater · 29/08/2022 14:20

Iā€™m back, I keep joining these threads for support but I struggle to keep up and havenā€™t checked in in a few weeks.

Finally managed to get my shit together and take some ovulation tests regularly this month. Came up positive yesterday so DTD twice. Donā€™t think weā€™ll manage today as weā€™re on opposite shifts this week.

@kizzy97 Hope it happens for you next month, weā€™ll have been trying a year in October too so next steps will be seeking additional medical help, which I donā€™t relish the idea of, our GP is useless.

EdinburghGirl1 · 29/08/2022 13:36

@TTCourfirst congratulations

@BellaTheDarkOverlord sorry to hear this. I'm just waiting for AF too. Really hoping it doesn't come for you though.

@UserL95 and @kizzy sorry to hear this and totally understand how your feeling. AF due in 2 days for me too. I was feeling pretty rubbish at the weekend but trying to just focus on the next cycle when it comes

@UserL95 @kizzy97 Sorry both x it's deflating isn't it. I don't want to test as I'm scared of seeing BFN but I also struggle wait to AF. Due Wednesday. I picked up a FRER today. Don't want to use it.

kizzy97 · 29/08/2022 11:12

Woke up to full af this morning šŸ˜­ going to have a few days to mope and then onto September I guess, will be a year ttc in October

UserL95 · 29/08/2022 10:39

I think Iā€™m also outā€¦ 12DPO and 2 bfn in lead up days. AF due in 2 more days, anything could happen but Iā€™m not hopeful. So frustrating and heart wrenching. Hate doing early tests but also canā€™t wait until AF is due to test either

@TTCourfirst Congrats!

@Salpforyou Sorry for your loss x I take folic acid.

@anotherpotoftea I don't think it's too late. I know a few people had children in their 40s. Goodluck!

I had the slightest bit of spotting last night at 11DPO. Felt so down as that means AF on way. Due 31st. It's hard as last month spotting started 7DPO and this month took all the way to evening of 11DPO to start. I was really hoping I'd gotten away with it this month šŸ˜”Just waiting for AF now.

Hi all Iā€™m new to this thread (but on the TTC June baby one). Iā€™m 41 and thought TTC would never be possible for health reasons (long story) but now it is and Iā€™m hoping itā€™s not too late for us.

@Salpforyou I was already taking folic acid and vitamin D due to a deficiency I had years ago. I mentioned TTC to my GP who has prescribed higher dose folic acid. Pregnacare also contains it so you could take that.

Purple29 · 29/08/2022 07:32

@Salpforyou so sorry for your loss. Yes I take folic acid, I made sure I was taking it from before we started trying. You want to have some in your system for when you first concieve. It helps with the development of the nueral tube and brain, which all develop in early pregnancy x

EdinburghGirl1 · 29/08/2022 06:15

@Salpforyou I'm so sorry about your CP

EdinburghGirl1 · 29/08/2022 06:15

@Salpforyou yes I take folic acid. I now take pregnacare which has it in it. It's recommended to take folic acid when ttc before you are pregnant

Salpforyou · 29/08/2022 03:05

Hi ladies. I had been quiet since the previous thread because I had a CP and needed a break. I wanted to ask though.. are any of you taking folic acid while ttc or you wait until bfp?

My2boysaremyworld · 28/08/2022 15:51

Congratulations @TTCourfirst . Sorry about your loss, we had a loss in April too. Wishing you a happy healthy 9 months xx

BirdIsland · 28/08/2022 14:34

Congratulations @TTCourfirst!!

TTCourfirst · 28/08/2022 13:57

Missgemini · 28/08/2022 10:25

@TTCourfirst that looks positive to me! I hope they start to get darker :)

Thank you! Just took some more expensive tests!

I lost twins in April so Iā€™m excited but so nervous for another loss

Hoping for BFP August/September
kizzy97 · 28/08/2022 11:53

Still no af 4 days late and another BFN yesterday evening šŸ˜­ had some blood when I wiped last night so put a pad on and then nothing since...so fed up...

Lollywhite · 28/08/2022 10:27

CD16 today and finally had my static face on clear blue.. however easy@home tests has logged the same sample as 0.56, does anyone know if clear blue is more sensitive?

also just flapping abit (lol) we DTD yesterday, but today with peak we wonā€™t actually see eachother due to work schedules till I finish work at 1am this morning do you think this will matter? Iā€™m panicking trying to follow smep but itā€™s so hard to stick to something when you have other commitments xx

Missgemini · 28/08/2022 10:25

@TTCourfirst that looks positive to me! I hope they start to get darker :)

TTCourfirst · 28/08/2022 10:10

BirdIsland · 28/08/2022 09:02

@TTCourfirst how quickly did the line come up? I've had similar evaps on those tests, but they all appeared way out of the set timeframe you're meant to check. Although even if it's an evap, 8DPO is super early. Fingers crossed for a BFP!

Thank you! Straight away, within a minute. I am going to buy a FRER and take that tomorrow!
