@Lou0811 oh my goodness amazing!! Any idea how far along you are? I guess probably not given the length of your cycle! With my son k was in track to have a 60 day cycle, so when I went for my 12 week scan I was actually only 7 weeks. That looks like a good positive though. Not knowing these tests, I’d assume you’re something like 14DPO based on that line. I’m 6 weeks now and I got a proper dye stealer at 20 DPO x

I’ve moved over to the August thread, however. Just wanted to update!

I had my internal ultrasound today at day 68 of my cycle and no AF since May…. I tested negative last week and today…. (See photo!)

during the interval ultrasound, it was to check the ovaries, womb and lining etc… I asked if she could see cysts, she said not yet.

the lady proceeded to tell me I was ovulating from my left ovary.

very thorough scan, she then done an external where my C Sec scar is… and off I hopped, flapping to get my knickers back on!

I have a touch of thrush, so wanted to grab something to sort it. Thought I was use up my last cheapie test (4.30 in afternoon)

Oh wow that’s amazing! Congratulations!!!!

Did they not pick it up or do a test at your appointment?

Such good news 😊 x

Hello!!
Not sure if I should be in the July or August thread?? Ovulated in July but testing in August!!

Currently at 8dpo, did a test this morning & afternoon (I know I shouldn’t but I can’t help it!!) think I see something but as usual it’s probs line eyes and it’s way too early to tell. Told myself I’d wait until 10dpo to test again but I know myself too well and I’ll be doing it again tomorrow morning! Praying this is our month!

Hey ladies,

how are we all?

I’ve had horrendous cramping since yesterday, terrible mood swings and incredible fatigue… I am on day 75 of my cycle and 47 day delay for AF…

tested negative last Friday/saturday, so not holding out any hope.

i have my internal scan on Wednesday, so hopefully a nice surprise too!

So sorry to hear you are still in cycle limbo! I hope the scan gives you some answers. Do you track ovulation?

Im pretty much out for a while now - July was our fifth month trying, I had some unfortunate job news at the end of the month so things look uncertain / like we may have to hold off a year or two now.

DS turns one on Wednesday so lots of cake and celebrations to soothe my heartbreak

@Blue2020 thank you ☺️ I’m 5 weeks and 1 day, so very early days! Still hasn’t sunk in. I’ll keep an eye on how you’re all doing on the August thread 🥰 best of luck with your TWW!

Blue2020 · 02/08/2024 15:54

@DaisyEM glad to see that you got a positive and that the bleeding has stopped for now. Hope it’s all going well.

Im now on the August thread, just started the tww.

CoolSummer89 · 30/07/2024 16:33

Great news @DaisyEM , have all my fingers and toes crossed for you

Great news @DaisyEM ! I moved to the August threat but keep checking here for your updates! Really hope it all goes the best possible way for you!

Hi everyone, just thought I would keep you updated :) after 5 days my bleeding has now stopped. Last test I did was yesterday and lines were looking much darker. I spoke to the GP yesterday who tried to contact EPU for me but couldn't get through. She said they won't do hcg bloods though which is what I was hoping for, but EPU may do an early scan (not until at least 6 weeks though, and I'm only 4+5!).

GP said that as the lines are getting darker it's all looking positive, so I'll just have to wait a few weeks for a scan now. I did have bloods taken today though to check my TSH as at my last bloods it was 2.8 and max for 1st trimester is 2.5. I'm feeling a bit better but still a bit uneasy, especially as I have next to no pregnancy symptoms, but I was near enough symptom-free with my son for much of my pregnancy anyway!

Wishing you all lots of luck and will keep checking back :)

Great news, hopefully you get some answers with your bloods and the scan comes through early ❤

@MrsB902 @S4mmyj90 i fell your ladies pain!

body has been playing tricks on me this TWW. Had such a painful boob (right one) since 8pm and since 9dpo have had really vivid blue veins on both breasts and into my cleavage, also AF type cramps.

tested this morning 10dpo and stark BFN. I know it’s too early to count myself out but thought if the breast pain was a symptom I would be testing positive right now. Ho hum.

S4mmyj90 · 30/07/2024 07:57

@MrsB902 I'm in the same boat. I've been having cramps, feeling a bit sick, having backache and feeling more tired. I'm at 8dpo.

MrsB902 · 30/07/2024 07:02

I’m only 5dpo but have been getting lots of little stomach cramps and feeling quite sickly this morning, why does the tww feel sooooo long?!

DaisyEM · 29/07/2024 10:25

@CoolSummer89 I’ll try and remain positive! How many DPO are you now?

@LucyCL i had to take aspirin in my first pregnancy due to being high risk for preeclampsia (family history), but this was prescribed by the midwife. I’ll do some more reading into whether it’s something that might be helpful this time around x

DaisyEM · 29/07/2024 09:51

Thanks @LucyCL @CoolSummer89 the bleeding has started again this morning 🙄 it stops and I start to believe it might all be ok, and then it starts again and I’m right back to thinking it’s not going to work out. It’s very unsettling/confusing 😖 I’m talking to the GP this afternoon so hopefully they can help me figure out what’s happening!

Please keep us updated!! I don't want to see another person who suffers from CP again! Fingers crossed to you! Lots of good luck to you!! Maybe try low dose aspirin at the same time? I have been taking it since CD12 and it helps to improve the chance of pregnancy based on the research. You could ask your GP about it and make sure if it is right for you.

CoolSummer89 · 29/07/2024 09:57

@DaisyEM the fact that it has been happening for a few days and your lines are progressing hopefully means there is nothing to worry about. Good that you are speaking to your GP this afternoon.

my husband just said my boobs look bigger and we then noticed some bumps on my nipples so now I am back to getting excited. Honestly, please put me in a coma each two week wait because I can not help myself clearly!

Thank you @worldwidetravel2017 @LucyCL @CoolSummer89
Think I will get the IVF ball rolling

Positive vibes to you guys

🤞

I wish I could help you but I haven’t had any experiences with IVF/stimulation/letrozole.
Because everything came back fine with the fertility tests, IVF seems like the best choice for you if you have the money. I say go for it.
Baby dust to you !

@spamOFtheDAY
Im on letrozole..

I have pcos

Letrozole has bought my ovulation
Fwd.
And therefore shortened lengths of pcos cycles

Apparently it can also help progsterone

My consultant told me theres 10 percent chance of multiples with it

LucyCL · 29/07/2024 09:26

Today is CD16 of the third cycle post CP, also my peak day. It looks like my cycle has gone back to its normal pattern before 2 MCs. That makes me really happy!😀I will enter 2WW soon when my BBT rises again.

@DaisyEM yay! This looks so great.

@spamOFtheDAY ah sorry to hear about the disappointment, 10dpo is still very early I think pregnancy tests are only 50% likely to work. I don’t know much about either but imagine that opting for IVF will make you feel more in control. Does the clinic have a clause that you can cancel planned treatment if you get pregnant before October?

I am 9dpo, my boobs were hurting something fierce yesterday so got a bit hopeful. No pain this morning and also negative test. I am going away for a few days so the next morning I can test is Thursday 12dpo. Going to try and not to think about it for next few days.

Already have a blood test booked for next week if period arrives on Saturday. So taking steps to find out if there are any issues.

LucyCL · 29/07/2024 09:21

DaisyEM · 29/07/2024 07:16

Morning, my FRER is much darker today! Here’s this mornings at 14DPO…

It is looking really good! 😊
