@LacedBouquet I’m still feeding my 2 year old and I can just tell 🙈🙈 and I feel
like my bra is getting too small too

LacedBouquet · 29/08/2023 08:30

@ttcthoughts Congrats on the stronger line today 😊

Oh that’s good, how can you tell they’re bigger? I think I’m not sure what I’m looking for! Maybe bigger within a bra?

ttcthoughts · 29/08/2023 08:25

@laced yes it’s normally 11 days so not as short 😊

Oo have you that’s defo a good sign.

with boobs my boobs are bigger but not sore at all.

lines progressing well today 😊

LacedBouquet · 29/08/2023 08:22

@ttcthoughts Ugh that’s frustrating she wouldn’t give it to you! Do you know if you have a short luteal phase? My luteal phase is only 8 days which is why I definitely needed the progesterone to extend that for implantation.

Haha I’m the same with needing to pee all the time 🤣 TMI but I have had a sore upset tummy since the morning of my first faint positive and it’s continued all the way through. I’ve also had bouts of nausea including being sick yesterday unexpectedly but could be unrelated.

I think my main worry is my boobs are not sore and not bigger in the slightest. I always thought that happened super quickly?

ttcthoughts · 29/08/2023 06:04

@LacedBouquet my GP told me she wouldn’t prescribe me anything until we had 3 losses, 😳

yes I actually can not stop weeing, I can’t stop being thirsty, sooo tired I think that’s all. Do you have any?

LacedBouquet · 28/08/2023 21:25

@ttcthoughts No problem at all 😊 I would definitely recommend trying to get prescribed progesterone in that case, hopefully GP will be able to help!

Do you have any symptoms yet? I swear I’m so paranoid 🤣 Feeling better but I’m getting all the twinges & pulling sensations on BOTH sides this evening 🙊

ttcthoughts · 28/08/2023 21:14

@LacedBouquet thank you for sharing I really do appreciate it. I think I will book an appointment with the GP. Both of mine have also been just before the 5W mark. I’m technically 4 weeks now but oh is late so the two weeks is Wednesday. I will defiantly look into this though xx

LacedBouquet · 28/08/2023 21:08

@ttcthoughts No, I hadn’t been to see my GP yet but got a private appointment with Nova Fertility via zoom and they were able to prescribe me progesterone which I’m pretty sure is what I needed. I’ve also had two confirmed losses and one suspected loss (I was on my honeymoon and bled for 10 days but didn’t bring any tests with me to check). All have been by the 5W marks so I’m absolutely terrified. So sorry about your losses too. It just takes the shine off of this early pregnancy experience, I am riddled with anxiety. But you can self refer to the Early Pregnancy Unit and if you’ve had two losses before you’ll be able to get an early scan at 8 weeks. I’m in Scotland though so could be slightly different in other parts of UK xx

ttcthoughts · 28/08/2023 18:57

@LacedBouquet was you referred by your doctor before this pregnancy?. I hope you don’t mind me asking how many losses have you had before? I have had two and I’m serious worried about something going wrong again ☹️

LacedBouquet · 28/08/2023 18:54

@ttcthoughts totally understandable! I ordered a 2 pack on Amazon for £14 and will use these maybe in a week or so? The EPU said I need to test at 6w and then phone them if positive for an early 8 week scan due to my previous losses so might hold on until then xx

ttcthoughts · 28/08/2023 18:32

@LacedBouquet I don’t want to end up spending a fortune on them 🙈🙈 last time with my mc I bought loads 🙈🙈🙈

LacedBouquet · 28/08/2023 18:28

@ttcthoughts i didn't realise you were only a day behind me!
You probably will get a BFP in digital either now or in tomorrow mornings urine- I got it on morning urine of 11DPO with a similar strip test darkness to yours 😊

ttcthoughts · 28/08/2023 18:03

@LacedBouquet im 12DPO today. That’s great news. I’m going to test until I get my BFP or a digital 😂😂

LacedBouquet · 28/08/2023 17:59

@ttcthoughts omg yay!!!! Congratulations 😍 So excited to see a BFP from you!

I’m 4W today/ 13DPO and have stopped testing after last night. The bleeding has almost stopped and I’ve been sick this afternoon so I think that’s a good sign 🤞🏻

@missmae I bet it feels slow 😫 This will for sure be the longest 8 weeks of my life.

@tedmarie ohhh it’s so hard to know with the clear blue tests. When did the line show? Was it within 5 minutes?

tedmarie · 28/08/2023 17:22

Evap line or v positive?

ttcthoughts · 28/08/2023 16:40

@missmae @LacedBouquet thought I would send in a update. My tests are defo getting darker 😊😊

@LacedBouquet i think it’s dragged personally😂 I just wanna get the first 12 weeks out the way 🥹. But your lines look good, they’re progressing nicely!🙏🏼I feel like mine took a while to get darker from 10dpo, but when I got to 16dpo I was finally getting dye stealers!

Tes004 · 27/08/2023 21:14

@LacedBouquet I think it looks fab !! Try and relax -
mine are now pretty much bfn 😢
ovulation is now showing positive … I just don’t know what to think tbh , x

LacedBouquet · 27/08/2023 16:39

@missmae thats so exciting that you’re that far along! It goes quickly 😊

I’ve still been bleeding but mainly only on wiping. I’m just looking for a bit of reassurance.

I took a Premom cheapie yesterday morning in FMU with the same urine I got my digital result in, at 11DPO.

I then have taken another Premom cheapie this afternoon on a 10 minute hold as I’d convinced myself I’d lost the pregnancy at 12DPO.

Top test is yesterday morning and bottom test is this afternoon. Do you guys think it’s gotten darker and appropriately darker for 1.5 days later? 🙏

missmae · 27/08/2023 11:53

@LacedBouquet ah bless you yeah that makes sense I’m hoping it progresses for you 🥺🤞🏼.
I am 6+2 now I have a scan next Saturday I’ll be 7+1 if I have my dates right! Currently fighting the sickness, it wants to come up so badly in this current moment!😂

@ttcthoughts yes it’s understandable, especially when testing so early it adds more anxiety when you do get that bfp! 🌺aw I do hope this one sticks!!🤞🏼

@cosymama2020 just an update started bleeding this morning meaning my cycle length was 35 days which is not uncommon for people I think. Putting it down to the fact I came off the pill in may so still only 3 months from that, just a little sad as we were so consistent with dtd, fingers crossed it happens for me this next cycle. Hoping you have better luck!

so happy for the other positives in this group too, thank you all for the lovely community

Period started today after xx a bloody show 3 days ago so no idea what is going on. Latest I’ve ever been, 37 day cycle! Glad I’m on now though so can start again next month and also that everything is okay. Hope you’re okay.

LacedBouquet · 27/08/2023 09:34

@2022ttc ill be exactly 4 weeks tomorrow so still very early days. I guess I thought it was super encouraging that my HCG seems to have quadrupled in a couple of days? Just this light bleeding is throwing me now 🙃

@Tes004 Oh yes I forgot you had that bleed! I did an ic at the same time as long as an OPK and both were darker than the night before.

I would keep testing if I were you because when so early you can get positives then negatives then positives again.

I’ve been reading so much about bleeding and it happens to 25% of early pregnancies which is high!

BlossomTree123 · 27/08/2023 09:15

@Tes004 how many DPO are you? And when did your bleed happen, could it have been implantation?

I read online that it doesn’t matter if sometimes your lines get fainter than darker than fainter etc..: as this is common and as long as it’s positive?

Tes004 · 27/08/2023 09:05

@BlossomTree123 i always use a pot ,, I’m just so annoyed with it all .. pray for a line then worry about the line , for it to go faint, then darker then still in limbo . I think I’m going to assume bleed was a period and my tests are rubbish and just re check with another brand in a week … xx

Tes004 · 27/08/2023 09:02

@LacedBouquet I have no idea how many days P.O. I am as I’ve had strange bleeding mid cycle which I’m unsure if was period or something else but was heavier than I would expect . Did you do any more ic before your digital with lighter lines ?? X
massive congratulations for your result xxx
