TWW Buddies..

@Mrsrobinsonx you absolutely do not sound ridiculous. I had that today so I’ve been on edge. But I know I am pregnant because my tests tell me so!

And of course you don’t sound ridiculous!

@Mrsrobinsonx if it’s useful to know, when I first took those I barely had a line at all - so if you decide to take one and can see it clearly then I think that’s a good sign 🤞

@Downtherabbithole83 umm the early detection ones with the one line instead of cross.
I might take one tomorrow if no sign of bleeding but 15dpo is where it all ended last time and my chest genuinely feels tight about tomorrow already.
I probably sound ridiculous 🤷‍♀️

@Mrsrobinsonx which clearblue ones did you get? Clearblue were the tests that made me feel better after weak lines on the cheapies.

@Downtherabbithole83 just some off Amazon I got months ago cheap ones, and frer. Did try the strips but they are showing basically nothing so gave up with them. Got some clearblue ones today but haven’t used any yet. X

@Mrsrobinsonx what brands have you peed on?

@Pitstop1986 yay for another chance to poas. I hope you get answers one way or another soon - the limbo at the end of the month is the worst xx

@MrsL22 I’m eating everything in sight too but to be honest, that’s just normal for me!

I figure I’m now past my AF due date and got a positive on a normal test so I figure that’s a good reason to stop testing!

During my pregnancy in September, my boobs went up two cup sizes by 8 or 9 weeks and I was throwing up nearly every day from about 7 weeks so I guess I just wait and see… though seeing how horribly that pregnancy ended, it’s probably good that I don’t have exactly the same symptoms this time!

AF still isn't here for me...

I guess that it gives me an extra chance to poas tomorrow morning!

@Downtherabbithole83 This is another thing I’m worried about not having any symptoms! I had sharp pains/twinges and cramps Friday/Saturday but nothing since! Apart from backache the past 2 days. strange that we want to feel sick for reassurance 🙈

@MrsL22 its just such a weird limbo to be in, not sure if I’m pregnant or not. With my others as soon as I saw pregnant or a line I didn’t even question it, it’s so different after a loss x

@Mrsrobinsonx it’s great that you still have a line and ‘hardly darker’ is still darker. I have everything crossed for you.

@DancingNancies your crossed our comment made me chuckle! I feel your pain on that one… though mine are now 6 and 4 - I’m afraid they still cause just as much stress!

@Downtherabbithole83 honestly I’m eating everything in sight 🫣

I really want to stop testing tbh because I do think that’s also stressing me out! As for symptoms… my nipples are definitely still changing and I seem to get a bit of nausea on and off which I’ve noticed is kept at bay when I eat little and often. 🤞🏼 this doesn’t progress to full blown sickness 😂🙈

DH has been the same as yours but he’s coming round to the idea of being able to get this early scan and then using that to tell his family 🤷🏻‍♀️

@DancingNancies 😂 I love that!!!!

@Mrsrobinsonx I wouldn’t go off the cheapies. My ICs haven’t really progressed at all other than nothing on Sunday to a line on Monday night. But after that they really are still basically the same.
I’ve seen progression on both frer and clear blue so that’s what I’m going off. I’ve ran out of clear blue now other than digital but frer will be re-stocked and I’ll probably keep peeing on those every day 🙈

Evening @MrsL22 . Glad they checked you over and it sounds like things are okay. Also that your other half is coming round to it - mine said he can’t get properly excited until after the 12 week scan but he keeps talking about it so I think his heart is winning over his head.

I’ve decided to stop testing… I know I’m pregnant and testing all the time won’t help anything so I might as well just wait and see what happens. The testing was stressing me out. If I get my period at some point, I’ll know it wasn’t meant to be this time and if I stay pregnant then… yay! 🤷‍♀️ I do wish I had some symptoms though (you can remind me of saying that if I end up with sickness again).

I’ve decided to stick to my normal routine of running 2-3 times a week but the eating healthily is a little harder… I really love chocolate!

@DancingNancies oh goodness 😆
It’s so worrying being a parent even before you’ve conceived them!

@Mrsrobinsonx my stark white, absolutely 100% negative pregnancy test at (retrospectively) 7 weeks pregnant is now 2.5 and has caused me stress every day since conception! - you're not out yet! Keeping my fingers crossed for some line progression ❤️

@MrsL22 I think that’s a good amount for 12dpo! Good luck for Friday and great news about the reassurance scan.

@Downtherabbithole83 I did another test today and it’s still positive but hardly darker than a few days ago, although these were the cheaper kind of tests and a few people have said they aren’t as good early on. I have ran out of frer’s to check though.
however AF is due tomorrow or Friday I think based on my usual luteal length.
I’m just not convinced it’s progressing as it should x

Just following on from my chemical in November they told me to call if I fell pregnant so they could reassure.
I’ve also had some shoulder pain which has been worse the past two days. This is apparently a symptom of ectopic but the dr didn’t think this was likely as it’s old pain.
will keep you all updated how I get on on Friday.

Trying to make a really conscious effort to look after myself now - eat healthy and a little walk each day. I’ll do anything to make this work 😂

DH is finally coming round to the idea after refusing to accept it following last time.

How are you @Downtherabbithole83? Any progress??

@SimplyChic I noticed you’ve been quiet for a few days… hope you’re okay.

@Pitstop1986 and @Mrsrobinsonx how are you both doing? Any changes?

Are you okay @MrsL22 ? How did you end up at EPU? Sending plenty of positive thoughts your way xx

Little update from me. Ended up at EPU today having bloods drawn. I’m 12dpo and I’m definitely pregnant with a HCG level of 68. Not sure what that means in the grand scheme of things but I have to go back on Friday for more bloods where hopefully they see a significant rise.
They are happy to offer an early reassurance scan when levels rise above 1000 so 🤞🏼 for that.

@MrsL22 your line progression is much clearer than I have on anything. I imagine you’ll be fine with a normal level test now… I forget how many dpo you are. I took a normal clearblue at 13dpo and it was a decent line. I haven’t bothered with a digital though as they are expensive and I’m tight!

@MrsL22 thank you! Your lines are amazing, congratulations 🎉
Unfortunately I’ve compared a test from Sunday and today and they are basically the same. I’m just preparing myself for it now x

@MrsL22 I think that you've got a strong enough line for a digital test there. That way, you'll get to see the word "pregnant", hopefully it'll ease your anxiety a little and make it feel much more real for you!

Another day, another negative for me. I even pulled yesterday's test out of the bin first thing this morning to see if it had dried with a line... it hadn't.

AF hasn't shown up just yet either, so looks like today will be a day of frequent trips to the loo to check if I've come on yet!

The joys of womanhood!
