Well here we are again, day 1 of new cycle. It’s been over a year now (I’d ducked out of these threads for ages). Finally going to start with some private investigations. But not for a few weeks.

Anyone got any fun ideas for this month?

Hey! So a little back story... I was invited out with some friends a few weeks ago and wasn't sure whether to go as if I went and then later found out I was pregnant I would really regret going but also if I didn't go and I wasnt actually pregnant then be missing out for not really any reason besides the fact of ttc. Anyway... I Decided after all to go out last night after debating it and had a negative test yesterday morning and last night before I went.
This morning at 11dpo I think I have a vf line😁
Can anyone see it? Just really worrying now because I had a few drinks last night thinking this wasn't my month as this is a lot later getting a positive than my last pregnancy.

My last pregnancy was ectopic and I had the surgery to remove my tube, what do I do now? Should I be contacting the hospital for an early scan?? Xx

Sorry @Hummusanddipdip and see you on the November board ❀️ I hope this is your cycle x

VictoriaBlossom · 17/02/2023 22:44

@elarcoiris well, you definitely knew didn't you! Hope you had a good holiday!

Hummusanddipdip · 17/02/2023 19:24

I'm out (again)
Congratulations to everyone who has had their bfp, those that haven't, see you on the November boards! Baby dust to you all!!!!

JD90 · 17/02/2023 16:10

@elarcoiris will maternity where you are not scan you from 6 due to your history of PUL? I was hoping my gp would do a couple of blood tests over the next week if I'm honest but I'm just gonna trust the process... and no doubt keep testing lots 🀣 got a faint positive on a 'standard' pregnancy test this morning so that was reassuring. Weirdly the 10 and 25miu had identical darkness/colour in the test lines from the same FMU sample πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

elarcoiris · 17/02/2023 15:44

@JD90 Thanks! I’ve already booked a private scan for 6 weeks… Last time I had a scan at 8.5 weeks (just before Christmas so we could tell family) and they diagnosed me with β€œpregnancy of unknown location” - don’t think I can face waiting that long to find out it hasn’t worked again so just want a scan as soon as they will do it!

Totally understand the feeling of loss overshadowing everything - my first pregnancy ended in miscarriage at around 10 weeks so feel like I’ve never really got that experience of just assuming all will be well, which is a shame.

JD90 · 17/02/2023 15:36

@elarcoiris that's amazing news, and tentative congratulations to you! My amazing gp got in contact pretty much bang on 8am when she started work as I'd left a message for her that I'd had a positive test (previously agreed plan in place) and she contacted epau and I've got a scan booked in for 27th. I'm still struggling to feel any kind of positivity about it at this point but I'm sure it will settle in time. Loss overshadows everything doesn't it! I feel I should be able to accept it and just continue day to day but it just isn't happening.

elarcoiris · 17/02/2023 13:10

Ended up coming straight home after our holiday rather than going to my mum’s for the weekend as my husband was ill and didn’t want to pass it on, which mean I managed to do this a couple of days earlier than expected…

13dpo and not with FMU so I’ll take that line! Trying not to get too excited after two consecutive miscarriages at the end of last year, but holding out the teeniest bit of hope for this one and will 100% be booking an early scan.

Congrats to those who’ve had their BFPs - hopefully see you over on the October board! Keeping fingers crossed for those still waiting and sending lots of love to those who are out for this month xxx

@JD90 Thanks for checking in! I haven’t managed to get hold of a test so just decided if AF hasn’t arrived by the time I’m home, I’ll do one then (have a FRER waiting for me!) At least the line should be pretty decisive by Monday AM as will be 17dpo!

Jealousofchiliheeler · 16/02/2023 12:29

@JD90 so far so good 🀞. No pain yesterday, this morning an occasional twinge but only very briefly, and that seems heavily associated with wind 😳. If it comes back I'll call GP or go to the hospital but at the moment I'd rather wait and see because it's too early to show anything on a scan.

JD90 · 16/02/2023 12:08

@Jealousofchiliheeler how you feeling today??

@elarcoiris how you getting on? Any luck with getting a test or were you able to just switch off and enjoy your holiday?

JD90 · 16/02/2023 11:42

@Lulou92 yup, first hint of a positive at 12dpo, but a proper I think I'm seeing things, then v faint at 12, slightly better at 13 and pretty similar at 14dpo. Lines are light, but no disputing that they are there and have colour to them. I figure as low as hcg starts out for the first week you're not likely to go from faint to dye stealer in a couple of days. Just being patient is hard though 🀣

Lulou92 · 16/02/2023 11:36

11dpo today bfn on 10miu Internet cheapies. @JD90 looks like you had a bfn 11dpo but then a faint bfp on 12dpo and stronger ever since? Your story is giving me hope πŸ˜… Congratulations and wishing you a healthy pregnancy.

hopeandpray1988 · 16/02/2023 06:41

Morning,
I'm currently in the tww and think AF is round the corner.
I've been temping and had a big drop below cover line yesterday followed by cramping on and off through the day. But this morning temp has gone right back up again. Not sure if it's just random or if it means anything. Did a easy@home pt and it's negative but will keep testing tomorrow depending on if AF shows up.

@elarcoiris is deffo try and get another test to see or if you wait I suppose you'd get a very strong line if you're pregnant. Good luck and enjoy you holiday!

@VictoriaBlossom fingers crossed your line progresses 🀞🏻🀞🏻

JD90 · 15/02/2023 22:38

@B93 boo πŸ‘Ž good luck next month, as I said before just keep swimming

VictoriaBlossom · 15/02/2023 21:56

@DSP21 mate tell me about it. I've got so much stuff going on at work and very high stress levels, along with my underactive thyroid going mental for the last month and my hairs falling out.
I'm praying for a sticky bean with the drama I'm having. Along with buying a house soon as our offer was accepted yesterday, Valentine's Day BFP to remember eh!

DSP21 · 15/02/2023 21:33

@VictoriaBlossom @Hankthehonk I have no more frers!! I’m away working tomorrow and won’t be back till late (midnight) but hopefully Amazon would’ve left me a box to pee on as soon as i get home. Seems a bit too good to be true, and unexpected so early!

VictoriaBlossom · 15/02/2023 21:24

@DSP21 yes it is my lovely. I got my really faint frer at 10dpo yesterday. I have no symptoms currently apart from being emotional. AF due at the weekend
im whispering congratulations

Hankthehonk · 15/02/2023 21:20

@DSP21 Tentative congratulations, that's sounding good! Have you got more tests? I'd definitely be doing a frer first thing in the morning

DSP21 · 15/02/2023 20:52

Hey guys! So i had a vvvv faint almost evap line on a frer, could’ve easily been a negative. But then i got a Pregnant 1-2weeks on a CB digital. I’m only 10dpo, is that even possible with a CB digital? I don’t want to get my hopes up!

B93 · 15/02/2023 15:53

I’m out AF has arrived πŸ˜”

Jealousofchiliheeler · 15/02/2023 10:45

@JD90 no I know, I definitely will contact GP if it's still there today, but so far it hasn't happened. Honestly, I was a bit constipated yesterday and I really wonder if it was that. A+E is literally 10 minutes drive down the road so if it got bad I would go straight there and they can fast track me, but I'd rather avoid that hell if I possibly can! I'm also conscious that I'm only 4+1 so I doubt they would be able to see on a scan yet and I think that would cause me more stress.

elarcoiris · 15/02/2023 09:26

@VictoriaBlossom Yeah, this is what I’m thinking so may just wait until I’m home (and try not to obsess over it for the rest of the break!)

@JD90 That’s a good idea actually - will ask.

At least we’re actually quite busy with various activities and spending half of every day in the pool with our amphibious child, so time is going pretty quickly!

JD90 · 15/02/2023 09:19

@elarcoiris urgh that sounds a bit stressful. I doubt they would have any in the supermarket but you could check? Or maybe ask a member of staff in guest services if its possible to have an amazon delivery to there??

VictoriaBlossom · 15/02/2023 09:19

@elarcoiris

Sorry fat fingers!

Go get a test but I bet they will only have the 25miu ones

So be aware it still may say neg
