@Jadeypie I'm so sorry to hear your update. Ttc can be such a cruel journey. Sending you a big hug. Glad you have your little miracle to cuddle tight 💗

@Paws4thought hope you get some clarity soon so you're not in limbo too long. 🩷

@xxcxdonxx congrats on the house. Good you've had your official diagnosis now too. Hopefully means appropriate measures can be put in place if you decide to go again. 💕

Jadeypie · 16/08/2024 16:42

We always said after the ectopic that we would give it one more go so that's it for me now I admire women who can go through this multiple times but I have my little miracle and I feel like he's all I need now I tried for him twice and I just couldn't go through this again x

Supertrooper101 · 16/08/2024 15:08

@Jadeypie sorry to hear that. Are you able to re book your appointments, at least get back on the the track you were on?
@Paws4thought how you getting on?

Paws4thought · 16/08/2024 14:49

@Jadeypie I'm so sorry!! Ttc is so cruel, hopefully this one will have your body prepared for next month and a sticky bean xx

@Sez281 yeah i hope if I'm not pregnant my body doesn't keep me waiting around, I'll test tomo morn if no show by then :)

Sez281 · 16/08/2024 14:43

Jadeypie · 16/08/2024 14:41

So unfortunately my levels have dropped right down so this little bean wasn't ready to stick around . I'm gutted xx

Oh @Jadeypie I'm so sorry I think I posted at the same time. That's so shit I'm so sorry 😔 xx

@Paws4thought hope you're ok.. if it does turn out that the test was a false positive hopefully AF arrives for you soon so you can move on to next cycle x

@Paws4thought yeh only took them a hour on wed, suppose just have to wait and see. Going to take myself off to the shops to take my mind off waiting for the call spend some money haha xx

Paws4thought · 16/08/2024 11:43

@Jadeypie will they give you results straight away? Oh no, if it was only a little hopefully all OK 🤞

Jadeypie · 16/08/2024 11:21

@Paws4thought off to get them done soon not feeling hopeful. Had a bit of blood before after going for a bowel movement so it's freaked me out xx

Ohhh I'm keeping my fingers crossed xxx

Sorry for tmi xxx

Paws4thought · 16/08/2024 11:09

@Jadeypie I hope your bloods go well today, keeping everything crossed!

No AF yet for me but I've had a stressful week so it'll prob be late just to add to the stress 🙃 haha.

Jadeypie · 15/08/2024 17:43

@Paws4thought this ttc journey just never gets easier and likes to be cruel with evap lines. I second with @Sez281 the next few days could tell a different story xx

@Sez281 oh I'm fully in my head because I've been on google but tomorrow will let me know how things r going. Xx

Hi @Happysoul111 I don't think folic acid would do that tbh @Supertrooper101 might have a better answer she's like the pharmacist with vitimins ect in this group haha 😄 xx

Happysoul111 · 15/08/2024 17:25

Hi all, symptom spotting is at the worst this month but I wondered if anyone could help, I have started taking folic acid capsules on and off this month and have only had about 7 as I kept forgetting to take them and I was due on this week but I have just had lots of brown blood/discharge, cramps, lower back pain and no actual period. Would this be the folic acid causing this does anyone think?

Sez281 · 15/08/2024 17:23

Paws4thought · 15/08/2024 17:20

@Sez281 yeah I've still got a little hope but trying to be realistic, It hasn't helped that I felt like I had some symptoms different to last few months too, think I was wanting it more this month as it's a year since my first pregnancy.

Oh I totally get it.. and if it was an evap it's just cruel 😢 wait and see what happens in the next day or so. I do really think it's going to happen for you soon no matter what though! X

OP posts:
Sez281 · 15/08/2024 17:21

@Supertrooper101 it really does never go away! 🤯 Although I do think maybe you should start looking at prams! 😂

@xxcxdonxx wow you've been busy! Congratulations on the house that's amazing! Such exciting times ahead ☺️ That's really interesting about the bloods too (although I think it's just confirmed what you already knew) I totally get being a bit hesitant to start actively trying but maybe see what happens first 🤷‍♀️

@SnookyPook hope you're enjoying the new family bubble but also managing to get some rest xx

Sez281 · 15/08/2024 17:17

@Paws4thought ugh I'm sorry to hear that. You're still not out until AF arrives...unfortunately I had a lot of really proper looking evaps on easy@homes, I still continued to buy them but would in my trust any lines I got when I'd confirmed with another test. Hopefully things will be clearer in a day or two 👌

@Jadeypie Aww I totally get it but try not to worry too much just yet. It's not about the first bloods reading (and 22 sounds about right for 15dpo) it's about what happens with your next ones. I totally get it when coupled with strange pains too but they could also be normal too Xx

OP posts:
Paws4thought · 15/08/2024 16:53

@Jadeypie so sorry to hear that, it's so horrible feeling like it's repeating itself, as you said no bleeding tho so will be sending positive thoughts your way xx

Jadeypie · 15/08/2024 14:33

@Paws4thought sorry it really did look like mine. Xx

I'm having a nightmare! I was having a productive day yesterday thought cancle that's hycosy ap and thought Al ring the epu just to let them no anyway they wanted me to have bloods which I didn't want to start so early because I'm only 15dpo today. Anyway got the bloods done and it's only 22 got to get more tomorrow see if it doubles so now I'm in full blown stress mode. Found yesterday so triggering like last time repeating its self only positive I can keep hold of is I've had no bleeding I am getting pains now and again but not in one area just randomly dotted about anyway all I done was cry yesterday and I'm dreading tomorrow xx

Paws4thought · 15/08/2024 13:29

@Supertrooper101 I tried not to buy anymore but caved and git the boots 5bdsy early and it was negative so I'll be expecting AF tomorrow.... annoying that the easy @ home had a line, wish I'd had a couple more of those to compare, I'll stock up for next month!

Supertrooper101 · 15/08/2024 09:20

@Sez281 am trying to figure out what kind of pjs and stuff for your baby bag that cost 300€ 🤣... ive not had no nesting and still got a pram to get essentials, wash the stuff etc etc etc lol your not the only one thinking something will.go wrong. It never stops does it 🙁.
@Westy22 youve so much going on 🤯 gota be flying by for you lol
@Paws4thought did you get the other tests then 🙂
@xxcxdonxx congrats on the house 🙂 least with that positive result you have something to work with now too.

Paws4thought · 15/08/2024 00:33

@xxcxdonxx congratulations on the house purchase/ sale, hope it all goes through quickly, great distraction from ttc too! That's good that you've got a potential reason for why you've not been successful though, maybe once you've moved you'll feel more motivated to try again, hopefully good news will continue on this thread 🤞

xxcxdonxx · 14/08/2024 22:45

Hey everyone, I’ve missed loads!

@Jadeypie huge congratulations, what amazing news to catch up on! Totally get your head being all over the place right now but just take each day as it comes 🥰

@Paws4thought oooh I’ll keep everything crossed for you over the next few days with tests.

Hope you guys are all doing ok, @Sez281 @Westy22 @Supertrooper101 @SnookyPook I’ll need to have a read through and catch up properly.

I’ve not been on much recently, life has been pretty hectic. We decided to put an offer in on a house which was accepted and then had a mad panic to get our house ready for going up for sale. That happened and it sold last week so now in the process of agreeing dates etc. My wee boy also had his first day at school today so that was an emotional rollercoaster and there’s been lots of getting organised for that. He had a great day, I’m so proud how he took it all on his stride. 🥰

Then to add to the mix I got my blood results back from my second sticky blood test which was positive. It just means that if we do try again then I’ve to be on aspirin when TTC and then aspirin and injections from a positive result. So I’ll see what happens. I honestly don’t know if I have it in me to try again, all the amazing news on this thread should be my inspiration but just difficult not to assume it will all go wrong again.

Paws4thought · 14/08/2024 19:49

@Sez281 yeah it is the strips, I didn't realise they were so much less sensitive 🙈
Oh wow you sound really organised!
@Westy22 when do you think your decorating will be done? Everything all fresh will be great though so worth the wait to buy baby stuff :)

Westy22 · 14/08/2024 19:00

Ah have you @Sez281 I can't wait to start nesting but don't think that will happen till the decorating is done and new carpet has been fitted. Ordered a highchair yesterday with a newborn attachment lol I tend to order random things 😂 but felt like this will come in handy when cooking/eating. I'm excited for the nursery to come together though 🥰 haven't even thought about hospital bag yet lol confirmed my mat leave stuff today and it suddenly made everything very real so totally get what your saying!! Xx

@Paws4thought still keeping everything crossed for you ❤️
