5 days late, had slight blood the day after I was due when wiping then spend last night in tears as had some brown when I wiped.

woke up this morning and decided to test again as no actual period yet.

i did 3 tests 🙈 husband can see them too but says we should just stay calm and relax 😂 we’ve been ttc for over 10yrs so we’re both extremely cautious

Thank you. I’m just so heartbroken. I literally have no words as seeing my husbands heart break has just been so devastating. I just thought we’d finally get our dream and it just wasn’t to be xx

Hi OP - how have things been this week?

I lost the baby 😢 I started bleeding on Monday and miscarried on Tuesday. So it’s all a bit shit 😢

@2BabyOrNot2Baby I know. As soon as I saw the chewable ones I knew they were the ones for me. I have an awful gag reflex at the best of times 🙈😂 they’re Bassett vitamins during pregnancy. Apparently strawberry and orange flavour but not like eating sweets. But a lot better than the massive pills so I’m sticking with them lol.

yes I think im going to step away from the tests and just go with the flow now

Firstly - chewable vitamins!? I think you may have just put me onto something! The Pregnacare ones are huge though, and I'm really not a fan of tablets at the best of times 😖

Secondly - don't let progression lines get into your head. Mine didn't start to look 'dark' until about a week or so after getting a positive and with my first baby, I didn't test positive at all until a week after my period was due! You're doing great 😊

@Olika
that’s a good idea. I will look in to it when I get home tonight

Perhaps you could try some YouTube pregnancy yoga or meditation videos. I found them very relaxing and took my mind off worrying about things.

This is amazing news @DoraBella88 - wishing you all the best ❤️

I think that’s what I’m going to try and do now.

thank you. I eat a healthy diet and take my vitamins, it’s just the relaxing part I’m struggling with 🙈😂 I think after more than 10yrs finally getting here it’s hard to completely relax 🤪

OP posts:
Olika · 06/07/2024 10:33

I would stop testing all together. You are definitely pregnant so now it's about eating healthy, taking vitamins and staying relaxed. 😊 take it day by day and hope for the best.

I didn’t know that so appreciate you telling me that as I would of done it and freaked out if it hadn’t changed 🙈

thank you. Let’s hope they sort themselves out. They’ve not exactly done that well so far 🙈⚽️

I agree with @Tadpole10 - these weeks indicators are not 100% accurate so don’t worry if you don’t get the results you were expecting, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong 😊

Good luck to you all in England tonight!

@Tadpole10
thank you, that’s good to know. I’m going to try and step away from the tests completely then. I don’t want to cause unnecessary worry and stress.

I am a massive baby with taking tablets and as soon as I saw the size of the pregnacare I knew I wouldn’t be able to swollen them 🙈

so I’m actually taking chewy ones. Has all the same stuff in it as the others but I can chew them without gagging.

I know it’s tempting, but put your pennies to one side for a few days! Have you got nice things planned for the weekend to help distract you a little bit?

I’m working today, the football tonight then de-cluttering the house tomorrow. So nothing exciting lol.

thank you I will try and stop as it’s causing me more stress 🙈

OP posts:
Tadpole10 · 06/07/2024 10:21

Also... Pregnacare is definitely puke making! Seven Seas pregnancy vitamins were better for me.

Tadpole10 · 06/07/2024 10:20

Congratulations!

After many years on MN in the ttc community, I would just warn you that the weeks indicators aren't very accurate and lots of women have worried unnecessarily about the weeks indicators not going up.

If you possibly possibly can... step away from the sticks!

They look ok to me! The bottom one definitely looks darker than the top one but they’re both pretty conclusive 😀

Thank you. I did the top one first and when I didn’t see the line coming up that quick I dipped the second one 🙈😂 the bottom one definitely looks better.

I’m going to try and hold out testing again until Tuesday now so a week after the original BFP and do a digital again which will hopefully show 2-3 weeks then

I’m can’t stop peeing on sticks 😂

I think they’re getting slightly darker but not as dark as I was hoping

this was this morning so a week after AF was due and 4 days after original tests

Do you see what I see?

I couldn’t be happier for you. Really! I’m on the other side of the world and in another time of life and I am filled with excitement for you.

Thank you so much. Honestly the kindness I’ve been shown has been overwhelming and such a support when you really need it.

I appreciate all of the comments. Makes me feel less alone
