@Eka94 god I'm so sorry. I saw this post this morning when I was half sleeping and thought defo test for pregnancy but looked at your CDs and thought it was weird. Then forgot to reply 😕

Eka94 · 17/12/2022 18:50

Well I’ve found out what was going on. I was pregnant, I got a BFP at about 12pm. I started bleeding and having cramps at 1pm and have spent all afternoon in a&e as advised by maternity unit. They didn’t do much other than confirm a positive pregnancy test and say they’ll book me for a scan next week. So I’ve pretty much concluded I’ve lost the baby. That was a nice hour when I was happily pregnant ☹️

Hey just checking in to ask if this is normal? Had very high LH for 4 days now which indicates ovulation still hasn’t happened as it’s not dropping, I’ve never had a result this strong before and the surge has only ever lasted a day for me?!

@Tropicana1 thank you 😊 aww that's so lovely! How are you doing?

@Tropicana1 he's more than made up for it since. So happy for you 😍

@monsteramunch was it an IC ? I know they are hugely reliable but even so. Gutted for you 😢

Thank you. Got to keep hoping it might just have been too early a test. Will wait until the weekend now to test, once AF is due.

It was a co-op test, an early detection one.

MrsCristianoX · 06/12/2022 17:18

@Tropicana1 another month then I'm calling it a day. Eggs must be ancient by now and can't deal with another miscarriage xx

@Hjudge56 we paid £5 for an online nub theory with our 12 week scan 🤣 which did actually say boy so I was thinking more boy but only because of that haha even though it's not at all fully accurate!

@MrsCristianoX oh no stop! Men can be so bloody dense sometimes can't they!!
Sorry to hear you've had another chemical, you've really been put through it with this TTC journey.
Husband is super excited for a boy obviously!

@Tropicana1 thank you!! So glad to hear your baby boy is healthy and well! Did you have a feeling it was a boy ?

@monsteramunch youre not out yet!! It is still early days!

monsteramunch · 06/12/2022 16:45

Caved. Not even a smidge of a line I'm afraid 😞

Fucking hell this is all so hard.

MrsCristianoX · 06/12/2022 16:41

@Tropicana1 you know that saying 'if it doesn't bring you joy then throw it away?' DH said that to me a few months ago about the scan when I was clearing an ottoman. I swear to god I've never hated him more than that day. Absolute knob 😡

MrsCristianoX · 06/12/2022 16:37

@Tropicana1 awww little boy!! I love my boys 💙 congratulations 🎉

I had a chemical last month and I'm not ovulating yet CD15 but I'm good. This was my first miscarriage due date and I've been thinking about that a lot. Still can't bring myself to look at the scan but maybe one day xx

Hi ladies! Been off mumsnet for aaages, but popped on today and lovely to see the bfps @Hjudge56 @MamaSJ15
Had our 20 week scan yesterday and found out it's a boy and all looking good ☺️
@MrsCristianoX nice to see you back on the TTC bandwagon I think last time I was on mumsnet you were having to take a short break from it!

@monsteramunch I got my first faint line at 12DPO! All negative before that!

MrsCristianoX · 06/12/2022 15:56

@monsteramunch 12 dpo is a good time for a reliable positive. Good luck 🤞 ❤️

monsteramunch · 06/12/2022 15:53

Excited for you @Hjudge56 let us know how it goes Flowers

I'm caving and doing a test earlier than AF is due. Today I'm 12DPO and have four days til AF due.

Shall I try my best to wait until tomorrow or is the difference in accuracy negligible at this point?

Been feeling sick, grumpy and horrible headache for the last few days. Shit sleep too which is relatively unusual for me.

But as we are all painfully aware, early pregnancy symptoms and AF upcoming arrival symptoms are the same!

Hjudge56 · 06/12/2022 15:28

@MrsCristianoX how lovely.. have the best weekend and I hope all the DTD vibes are flowing!!!

MrsCristianoX · 06/12/2022 14:28

@Hjudge56 awww keep me updated lovely xx it would have been too early coz you implanted late..try not to worry ❤️

my last cp pushed my ov back 4 days so we are on a romantic weekend away this Saturday..wouldn't it be amazing if it happened then? It won't but i can dream

Hjudge56 · 06/12/2022 13:22

@MrsCristianoX oh really! My CP earlier on in the year pushed mine back from usually CD11-13 to CD18 which I didn’t realise! Hopefully you feel up for DTD soon!

all good my end thank you! I’ve got a private scan tomorrow which should be around the 7 week mark but maybe just under! Interestingly, I had a private scan at what I thought was 6+1 according to the first day of my last period however they thought I was just over 5 weeks! They saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac but couldn’t see the embryo or heartbeat because I was too early! Hopefully tomorrow I will see the heartbeat!

MrsCristianoX · 05/12/2022 20:04

@Hjudge56 absolutely very little😂 cp pushed ovulation back or maybe stopped it ??Who knows..CD14 and still waiting for a peak🤷‍♀️ plenty of EWCM but I've no desire to DTD

Hope you are doing well? Xx

Hjudge56 · 05/12/2022 17:17

How are you getting on @MrsCristianoX ?

Eka94 · 04/12/2022 08:00

@monsteramunch how are you doing? Looks like AF is here for me today 😟

monsteramunch · 24/11/2022 00:36

Eka94 · 23/11/2022 23:12

@monsteramunch just got my smiley face and positive OPK too! Are we in sync?! 🤣 partner is at work tonight 🙄 will have to go for it tomorrow, it’s his birthday 😂 if you recall I conceived my LB on his birthday in 2019 🤣

Ah hopefully it's a lucky date for you again!

Nice to have a buddy in sync.

At this end I think we'll DTD again tomorrow and the next day which I think should be my most fertile ones covered, assuming I ovulate in the next 24 hours after today's static smiley.

Been doing this so many months now and still feel like so much of it is just luck!
