All I want for Christmas is a BFP- TTC September baby 🍁

@Misspotterscat thanks, there really is nothing worse than not feeling well when it’s time to dtd is there? 🙄 And if you do end up managing an attempt you both know it is not for fun in the slightest! 😂

@MrsMotts i think those first 7 days of the cycle are the worst, once you’re back to ‘trying’ again it doesn’t feel so bad but then time slows down again for the tww 😂 it’s crazy, if I didn’t have MN I wouldn’t even know a chemical was a thing. I’d obviously know about a miscarriage but I wouldn’t think you could get a positive test for it just to go away! The blood initially started before 4pm, it’s now 1am and I’ve just woke up, most likely because I’m so on edge to go and check! There was still no more blood there. It sounds like implantation bleeding if someone else told me they had it but it really was quite a lot of blood when I first saw it 🤔 Such a rollercoaster when I was just thinking this afternoon how I would get my toddler a big brother thing to surprise my mum and dad soon, then thought ‘oh great, so I just need to keep this quiet and kid on nothings happened’ 🙄

Keeping everything crossed for you @BCxx
It’s so common! 1 in 2 I think!

i got good line progression on FRER and 1 - 2 on CB. But then I did another digital and hadn’t progressed and I just knew. When I did another FRER a few days later it had gotten lighter. Hoping yours is implantation 🤞🏼

I’m going into CD7 so starting tracking and getting back to DTD as much as possible 😂🤞🏼

Oh @BCxx I have everything crossed for you!

I am so run down and full of cold. Just as I need to be healthy to dtd. So annoying but I have a few days yet so hoping I’m feeling better in the time frame otherwise I’m a complete no go this month

@Mumbrava it seems like a frer and early Clearblues are set at the same minimum hcg to show it but it was strange I’ve had two positives on a frer but that digital was negative. I think all you can do is wait really but that’s just the hardest thing to do at times 😔 always just feeling like I want to fast forward time to be walking out of a healthy 12 week scan!

It’s so difficult. Probably one of the most demoralising things I’ve had to go through because it’s totally out of my control.

I always thought the digital tests were most accurate? I don’t know why but I always feel that if it was going to be a positive it would have showed regardless of which test I’m taking. I struggle to understand how different test brands can show two different results. It’s literally mind games and I also don't think I’m that lucky of a person to show a sudden positive with another test.

Yeah I've been in agony ever since ovulating. It's a really sharp dragging feeling. I am going to text next week and if nothing then I think I need to phone doctors! Reluctantly as I hate phoning the doctors!

Not for me it wasn't, they said it wasn't a issue but I miscarried at 8 weeks. Plenty of women go on to full-term and have healthy babies, just not me this time sadly. I didn't even know they were a thing but turns out they are quite common. Got my fingers crossed for you that it's implantation though

@Knov20 clinging onto the last bit of hope that it could be implantation but I didn’t get that with my little boy and it was more than I would of expected, it has completely stopped now though. Will know by the morning either way!

Its so hard to tell in terms of cramps etc isn’t it. I remember being in agony from about 5dpo with my son, was lying in bed and it hurt to sit up even, it stopped hurting after my BFP

@Sb86 so was that relatively harmless? I’m really hoping it was implantation, il know by the morning whether it is or not I’d think so I’ll get another test tomorrow if there’s no blood 🤞🏼

@Mumbrava sorry you’re not feeling hopeful this cycle, it’s so bloody hard! It is possible the digital just isn’t sensitive enough because I got a ‘not pregnant’ at the same time as getting a faint line on a frer 🤞🏼 (Now look where that’s got me 🤣)

I’m so sorry to hear this @BCxx I hope you take care yourself. Please try and stay positive. It will happen.

I think I’m out for this cycle. Did an early clear blue digital test today (6 days before period) and it was ‘not pregnant’. It’s heartbreaking and every month I’m trying to do something different to ‘improve’ my chances…or maybe to make myself feel better….but at least it keeps me sane and helps with my morale.

😔

Oh no @BCxx I'm hoping that there is a positive here! I've got everything crossed for you!

I'm currently 6dpo but I've been In agony since ovulating on Monday! Not sure what to make of that!?

@BCxx just maybe just do a test tomorrow again to see because I started bleeding after a test it was a week and a few days after but it was a subchorionic hematoma. It might be what you think but it also might not, our bodies love to play tricks on us 😔

@MrsMotts @Sb86 @Bananatoast123 it’s crazy how common it is, when I looked it up it said it could actually be 50% of pregnancies but most people just don’t know. I had a feeling when I saw today’s test and it wasn’t darker. The bleeding has stopped for now but was definitely bleeding rather than ‘spotting’. I’d almost rather AF just arrived at full force if that’s what’s going to happen but now clinging onto the tiniest bit of hope it’s some sort of heavy implantation bleeding 🙄

@BCxx so sorry to read this

@BCxx So sorry lovely. Same thing happened to me last month - I’ve also vowed to not test so early next time but I know I will still!
take care of yourself ❤️

@BCxx Oh no 😞 I’m so sorry!! I had this exact thing last month and my first test looked like yours and by the next day it was gone! Since that I’ve vowed to only test when I’m late 🫣 I hope you’re treating yourself to something to make yourself feel better. It’s heartbreaking isn’t it!

Can I join? AF isn’t due til the 20th & it’s already driving me mad waiting to test! I don’t want to speak to anyone IRL about it because I don’t want to have to have the ‘not this month’ conversation if it doesn’t happen.

So I’m coming here to vent my frustration at the days going by crazy slow. Christmas is my favourite time of year so I’m trying to distract myself with festive activities, wrapping presents etc but I swear 3 days go by when it’s only been 1 on the calendar!

Good luck everyone hoping for a Christmas BFP!

@Bananatoast123 we’re away for the weekend and I’ve just started bleeding 😭 test this morning should have been darker than yesterday’s and I just knew as soon as I saw it, it was darker each day with my little boy. They do say don’t test too early.. for this reason 🤦🏼‍♀️

@BCxx congrats cycle buddie!!

I’m 12dpo and not tested yet as been away. AF due tomorrow so will see if that comes and if not I’ll test! I don’t have anything pointing me either way at the moment!

okay but why did it take me SO long to find y'all?! back for month 4. i'm still waiting for o but it should happen by wednesday if the 14 day thing holds up

@BiscuitLover3678 I would agree with Lucyloopylu about the ultrasound - was totally fine. She looked at the shape and condition of the womb (which all looked fine) as well as the ovaries, in which she could even see that I had a good number of eggs in reserve (I’m 34 so was a little worried about that). However they can’t see/tell you anything about your tubes from the ultrasound so would need to have a hycosy for that, whereby they flush dye trough your tubes to see if there are any blockages. Apparently that is a bit more invasive so I’m going to make my OH have a semen analysis before I go down that route.

Congratulations @BCxx 🥰 lovely news… let there be many BFPs to follow for the rest of us ✨🤞🏼

@BCxx to be honest I feel like I am so desperate now I will put up with anything let alone a little probe 😂 I'm not a fan of needles but will even put up with them if I get to have a baby at the end of it

@LucyLoopyLu I had a low placenta in my last pregnancy and they couldn’t see it to get a good measurement with the normal ultrasound at the 20 week scan so I had to have the probe then. I was glad I’d done so much research in early pregnancy and thought I’d probably need it then but didn’t, as you say it was absolutely nothing though. I got it again at my next scan too.. so be warned the probe does not end after early pregnancy.. they can spring it on you at any time 🤣
