1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

Oh that's good hopefully there is nothing further. I must admit I was very strongly warned off one of those from the midwife on Monday!
Just last year she told me that one of her ladies had listened using that when she wasn't sure on movement, on the 3rd day the heart beat was slower and sadly by the time she reached hospital the baby was lost. She basically said that if you are worried just go straight to hospital.

Thanks both - I did speak to EPU who just said to monitor and call them again if I bleed enough to fill a pad, which seems like a fairly typical response from browsing other threads. I've not had any other spotting apart from that bit on Tuesday, so hopefully all is ok.
I have ordered a foetal doppler thing for listening to the baby's heartbeat though, for my own reassurance - has anyone else got one of these?

@Mortima whilst it does sound normal I would still contact epu for a scan just to ease your mind, like you said no pain or red blood so it doesn't sound concerning at all but i know I'd want reassurance if I experienced the same

@Mortima I think if it worries you contact your GP/EPU, I personally think there is never a point to be too nervy and contact too much when you are pregnant.

On Sunday it all settled internally and haven't had as much, so of course I'm now worrying about the absence of the weird sensations. 😂 I have done pregnancy tests since then and as soon as I dip them in the urine they show the line as they fill so I hope this is still good. Roll on Friday!!!

@PPop It's such an anxious time, hopefully your scan will reassure you a bit. Are you still getting lots of aches/pains? Or any nausea yet?

@MillieKitty So glad to hear of the sunlit uplands that is the second trimester, I'm desperate to get there! I'm also going to try and resist finding out the sex, although Dh says he doesn't mind finding out or not.

I'm 10+1 today, and think the nausea is finally starting to improve a little. I had a pretty good day on Saturday, which coincided with an early scan for reassurance, and showed all is well.
It did also show a 9cm cyst on my left ovary, and I remembered your story @ScaredSally (congratulations on your boy!) - I'm sure this is what was causing my pain earlier this month, and not sure why the EPU scan didn't pick up on it. I've had a little pain since then but nothing like as severe, so hoping that it will resolve itself soon.

I did have a small amount of brown discharge yesterday afternoon, and then some light pink discharge just before bed, which has worried me. No red blood and no pain - if it does carry on for more than a day, would it be reasonable to seek advice from GP/EPU?

Ohh yes 100%! My personality type is that I get fixated so I need to know or I'll potentially fixate on the wrong flavour 😂

Nope we are resisting! Will you?

@MillieKitty ohhh how exciting!! 4 more weeks! You'll have to update! You going to find out what flavour?

Yeah I feel a lot more relaxed now, 20 week scan in four weeks! Time flys by once you've had the 12 week scan

@MillieKitty is it? 😂 I am okay just stressing about every single feeling, and then the lack of them like a good ol crazy! Can you now relax?

@PPop all good here! Second trimester is heavenly 😂 how you doing?

Hello!! How is everyone doing?

Thanks for your reply 😊

Thanks so much for your reply, fingers crossed! 😊

Congratulations @ScaredSally ! Sending you lots of luck for a continued healthy pregnancy. I am also hoping for a boy for various reasons! But have to wait til birth to find out 😆

@MrsSB2023 I think it can take up to 36 hours after peak smiley so you probably would have caught it doing the deed two days after! Especially if you had ewcm

I feel ok, started to feel little wiggles and pokes now
I'm only 16+4 but got the first set of chromosome results from my amniocentesis which told me it was a boy, he just has to keep growing and keeping everything crossed that the next set come back ok!

@MrsSB2023 hi! I have never used CB myself but the positive surge detection on the LH test strips usually indicated that ovulation will happen in the next 24hour. The egg then has 12 hours, so there is every chance you were in the window. Equally if you did the BD before ovulation there may have been sperm ready to meet the egg. Sorry I can’t be more helpful.

@ScaredSally congrats on your news. How lovely, are you 20 weeks?

Hi everyone

This is my first post ever on here but been lurking for a while.
We are TTC #6 (I have 3 DS’s & DH has 2 DS’s but non together) on cycle number 1
I’ve pretty much ruled us out this month as DH has been working away for 2 days right on my peak days :-( BUT wanted to ask a couple of things?
It’s my first time using OPKs, I used the CB digital one and this is my log-
I had the coil out in October last year and cycles have only just settled into a regular pattern. I normally have 31 day cycles.

CD 10-14 empty circle
CD 14 BD
CD 15 BD
CD 15 Flashing smiley
CD 16 Solid Smiley
CD 18 BD

The thing is I didn’t have any EWCM until CD 18 which was a lot, like hanging off the tissue and could stretch loads. Before that I was dry down there and other than sore nipples didn’t feel any ovulation symptoms. Also on CD 18 my libido was through the roof!
Today (CD 19) I’ve had some EWCM but feel like it’s drying up now and boobs aren’t as sore but I definitely feel like I ovulated yesterday.
My question is, can you ovulate 48 hours after you’ve got a peak reading on the CB tests? Is it possible it’s just caught the start of my LH surge as I only had one day flashing smiley?
just wondering if there’s a chance we’ve managed to catch the egg of so.
Sorry for the essay! 😂

@ScaredSally ohhh congratulations how exciting! How are you feeling?

I am having a rough day today, the poking is intense. Not crippling just making me feel weird!

I haven't told many peoplE im even pregnant yet but I had to share with someone... it's a BOY!

I actually did feel so excited sharing, but also weirdly nervous. My Dad made me cringe, my parents had to be told over the phone so my dad went you must congratulate DH name as I'm sure was there too! Oh heck! 😂 but it was received well on all sides, tbf some people have been waiting for us to announce for months!! It still doesn't feel real, I feel like one of those people having a fake pregnancy in a movie to get the guy 😂 I have done a pregnancy test nearly every day...

@PPop did you feel excited sharing? I’ve loved peoples reactions, so many people crying with happy tears. Not at all what I expected. We shared with family after I was in the hospital at 8 weeks with HG. It became impossible to hide that I was ill. It sounds like you’re being sensitive towards your sister’s history. I’ve heard some people prefer to find out over text so they have the space and time to process.

I’m excited for when baby is big enough that I can feel them move. I definitely don’t have a bump but my jeans are tight and my waist isn’t its usual shape!

@Wrenegade we have with close friends and immediate family (except my sister and brother because of my sisters history I am working that out)

Have you?

Yes I find the stretching quite intense it started last Tuesday, no spotting or anything this far just the sensations and they do feel odd 😂

@PPop not long to go, how exciting. Have you shared your news with anyone?

I had really intense cramping from ovulation through to 5 weeks-ish. Now I get stretching sensations in my womb and round ligament pain. My bladder also struggles to let go of urine despite being full 🙈. I had a scan at 8+2 at the EPU, seeing their heart beat for the first time was amazing. It was so big and strong 😍.

@Wrenegade I don't mind the symptoms so long as it's a real little baby! I am 5w + 2. Booked a peek scan for next Friday when I'll be 6w+5.

Ohhh I'm glad you got some respite! How have you found the sensations inside? It's super often!! Did you have an early scan? Hopefully a couple more weeks and you'll feel loads better!
