TTC July 2024 ✨♥️

@DaisyEM I definitely think it's got darker!

@Lovedatforme congratulations on clear blue test!

@Lovedatforme yay on the clear blue! Bleeding has started again for me this morning 😔 if my tests were fading I would put it down to a chemical, but if anything they are getting slightly darker, but maybe the line progression isn’t good enough. Who knows! It’s not great being in limbo like this 😭

It must be so hard not knowing what is going on you poor thing. Hoping it doesn’t start again for you today 🤞

ive been feeling super tired, a bit sick the last 2/3 days and quite emotional.

just hoping it sticks now.

@Lovedatforme I’m not going to get too excited as it was the same yesterday - no bleeding overnight but started again mid morning.

oh those look like great lines!! How are you feeing?

I think it’s slightly darker? Good sign that’s you’ve stopped bleeding too.

im 10DPO and had positives this morning 🥹

Yesterday’s

Morning everyone, it’s me again with another test 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ve had no bleeding overnight and none when I went to the loo first thing. Here’s my test from today, can someone have a look and see if they think it’s darker than yesterday’s please? I’ll post yesterdays below

Had a little bleeding on my knickers last night - 12 dpo I think unless I ovulated late. AF was due today but unless I had a late implantation and my period still isn't here. Maybe I'm just being too hopeful. I stared at my test this morning for so long I swear I saw a shadow but maybe I just wanna see the line so much I'm putting it into my head

I've had no bleeding since. Had cramps all day though. Taking it as a sign my AF is on its way. I remember I got so excited last time I got pregnant, I was in the shower doing an "everything shave" and I saw little strings of blood come out. Then, and only then, did I feel the true meaning of heartbreak. My boyfriend was in Thailand and I was all on my own. I sat there crying my eyes out begging god not to take my baby from me, never have I felt more vulnerable and scared in my life. I had the most precious thing and it got taken from me. Since then I've tried to conceive again but it's just not happening for us

AF due tomorrow so went out today and bought pregnancy tests just incase. I just took one and it was BFN! Stared at it for so long and definitely just the one line! I didn't get a positive test until 2 days after AF was late so clinging onto that hope

@Kiwiburgh thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me :) I've had spotting for two days now and it doesn't seem to be getting any heavier. It started yesterday, but today my test was slightly darker, and of course the CB digital. It was one of the 'weeks' ones, so I don't know if they aren't as sensitive? The positive CB and darker line today is what's throwing me and making hold onto hope that it's not a chemical.

@LucyCL so sorry to hear that you experienced a chemical too. As my lines weren't that dark I wasn't even sure I was pregnant and the bleeding started before I got clearer lines and a positive CB today, so I never really had the chance to believe I was really pregnant which I think has helped with making it less upsetting. If this had happened first time around when I was expecting my son I would have been absolutely devastated as as soon as I saw that second line I was so invested.

I think I’m losing my mind, can anyone else see it? I’m going to try again with flu anyways.

@DaisyEM Thanks for the reassuring words :)
Sorry to hear your in limbo land, it's truly stressful.
Both chemicals were similar, I'm a serial tester so I could see my lines weren't progressing enough. With the first I started having light pink blood when I wiped and then Af appeared. The second was similar but no pink blood, just straight to AF.

I've attatched a picture of what my chemical looked like.
I also fo a "pregnant" on the digital CB early detect ( not the weeks indicator one)

@Kiwiburgh so sorry to hear it’s a BFN for you. I get where you’re coming from as I had a positive with my son at 9DPO and 10DPO with this current pregnancy (if I can even say that), but there is of course a possibility of implanting a day or two later than previous pregnancies and so a BFP wouldn’t be for a few more days.

Do you mind me asking you what happened with your chemicals? I had a positive test yesterday at 10DPO, but then brown spotting. This morning I got a positive on a digital and FRER and spotting had stopped, but then a few hours later pink/red spotting started. It’s only when I wipe so isn’t like AF but it’s still going now and I’m not really sure what to expect 😔

10dpo and a bfn, I know you're still in to af appears but with my 2 children and previous chemicals I've always had a line at 10dpo on a frer. Feeling exhausted 😩

@ttcjourney20001 I read it can take 3-4 days after implantation for hgc to build up enough to be detectable by tests. I have heard of some women not getting their BFP until a fair while after af was due. Have you had any more bleeding since? I’m over here with the opposite issue, bleeding with a BFP!

So sorry @Lisa3192 but I’m not sure I can see a line on either x

Hi everyone - feels like I'm asking such a silly question
But last night (1 day before period was due) I had a little blood in my knickers so checked cervix etc and no period. Was due on today, still no period. If that was implantation last night that would've been about 11-12dpo. Due period today and tested and still nothing. How long does it take to be able to detect hCG in tests? Or shall I just take it that my period is just late and not to get excited. Below are attached photos of tests taken today (day of period). Im not holding out much hope this cycle.

@CoolSummer89 that should have said ‘kind’ message, I really should double check before I hit post 🤦🏻‍♀️

@CoolSummer89 thanks so much for your lovely kid message 🥰 you’re totally right, there’s nothing I can do now so I’ll just have to wait and see. I’m feeling more positive now and accepting it may just be a chemical x

@DaisyEM Sorry didn't see that you had done a digital, I think we must have posted at exactly the same time.

The good and the bad news is that it is out of your hands. The bleeding may be nothing to worry about, or it may be the start of a chemical. There is nothing you can do that will change the outcome, however looking after yourself and focusing on good things will hopefully make this unsettling time a ton better.

I can already tell that you are doing a lot of this already, so probably don't need me to tell you! You have already been focusing on the positives (you're ovulating and fertile!), the body performs amazing quality control at this point, so if something is not quite right with the embryo it is protecting you from heartbreak later down the line.

We'll be here for you whenever you need 💕

You could have ovulated late maybe? Feel like I see one on the cheapie but not the CB

Been silently reading your story - I'm so sorry that happened to you. I suffered a MMC in December last year, went to the hospital they said everything is okay, next day I went to Window to the Womb and they found a little flickering heartbeat - said everything was okay, but I just knew something was wrong. Went back to the hospital and they couldn't find the heartbeat anymore and baby was measuring smaller than it was the week before. told me to prepare for the worst. The worst happened. Ttc again now after that loss but nothing seems to be happening. Took us nearly two years to conceive and it resulted in a loss. I don't have much hope
