THE DINO CLUB #1

Morning 🥰 I’ve got different tests so can’t really track progression but I have a good line on the easy at home, a VERY faint line on the clear blue, but it’s the 25 sensitivity instead of 10 early however ….

a positive on the clear blue digital!! I was apprehensive to use as I thought I ordered the early clear blue but didn’t. Still picked it up though!

quietly excited without trying to end up getting hurt if it goes tits up again🤣🤣 however it’s very different this time to CP

In my experience even though you’re 6DPO and know it’s gonna be negative I think it’s better in my head to get it out of my system 🤣🤣 I really hope this is your month 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 @Lila34830 xxx

@Lila34830 it’s so hard isn’t it!! Try wait it out as long as you can but don’t beat yourself up if you want to test!

it’s so hard to not over think symptoms too! I’ve everything crossed for you. When are you aiming of waiting until to test?

Aww that’s reassuring to know about your son! It could be a boy/girl thing too I suppose but I do think every child is different and I’m hoping the birthday/age wouldn’t make too much difference.
theres still quite some time until September so you never know, your daughter could be more than ready by then! Xx

@HE93C it’s funny you ask as I’ve been speaking to my mum and husband about it a lot recently. My son is 12 (12/8) and I knew he was absolutely ready for school, he went in and smashed it! He’s chill and does whatever he’s asked.

My daughter is 3 (4/8) so will be starting in September and she’s a little more sensitive and wilful and I’m a bit unsure how she’s going to cope to be honest!but maybe because I’m older (I was 18 when I had my son) I’m a bit more precious with her being older, and she will be fine and smash it🤣🤣

@KT199 I wouldn’t worry about it being as strong as long as there is still progression though, also when I had the MC it was twins so you never know, this could be twins too! So then it might be darker cos of that haha.

I think we are going to book a private scan for NYE which would be 7w6d I think but we are with friends New Year’s Eve and would be easier to be able to tell them and not try lie/hide not drinking and eating everything haha. Scared of jinxing it though so probably won’t book it till the week before in case anything happens between now and then!

I don’t know how people wait till 12 weeks, I’m so impatient and worry too much haha.

@Gemmaemilyx how old are your August babies, have they struggled at all being behind at school with them being the youngest in the year? That’s always been a worry of mine with if I had august babies xx

@curliegirlie totally agree with @Heartypandaa i didn’t read the title properly and everyone has welcomed me with open arms even though I have children already. (As they will you) And these girls have been the most supportive people ever 🥰🩷 It’s a truly lovely thread where you feel heard and there’s great advice, hope you get you bfp soon, keep us updated on how you’re doing!! Xx

Hey there, you are welcome to stay even if it's a thread for first baby, everyone here is so lovely and supportive. we love to have some dinos with experience, i think u are just like @Gemmaemilyx here with us, who has DC also, bless all your children.

Your journey sound though, only shows how strong you are, but keep in mind nothing is impossible, we are all trying here, wishing for the best. There's nothing more beautiful than the feeling of being a mom. I wish we all can experience that soon/again🥰.

Thank you for the kind words for all dinos

@Lila34830 so sorry, just read the thread name rather than full description. I will bow out of here then. I know it must sound grating when I've already got 2 DDs, but those two were quite the journey too, at 16 and 12 months TTC respectively (even when I was at a less dinosaury age) so sadly I'm far too seasoned at this game, but equally sadly, existing DCs doesn't make the process much easier (even though I know I need to be so grateful for what I have). I wish you all good luck, and wishes for sticky beans for those of you who have recently had BFPs.

Top tip: once you're past AF due date and have fairly decent lines, try to wean yourself off the tests - the ICs in particular can be a bit variable with dye so don't panic if you don't get dye stealers. And if you do, remember it's a snapshot of that particular day and can't necessarily predict the future. Book in an early scan if that's reassuring, but other than that you just kinda have to wait and see how the rest of the pregnancy goes. Symptoms can mean everything and nothing, as can comparisons with past experiences. The best of luck dino girls. I hope your BFPs come soon 💕

@KT199 @HE93C i wouldn’t worry about line progression when it’s that dark as @Lila34830 says. I had days where my tests were lighter than others with my daughter and it panicked me. Infact, at 8 weeks or so they started to go SO light, the ‘hook effect’ which some people don’t believe in. However, in my experience my test was super light so I diluted the same urine with water and came out super dark.

but I totally understand it’s hard when you see a test which you think may be lighter than the last it’s worrying!! Also, hopefully nothing comes of the pink 🤞🏼 my friend who I have spoken about a few times has had pink and brown spotting at 5/6 and 8/9 weeks and now 13 weeks with no issues 😊 xx

You will get one soon, then we can get our dinos mum club thread going 🤞

I have no doubt I will be booking an early viability scan for a few weeks time, just to check it’s in the right place and has a heartbeat. I don’t know how people last until 12 weeks, because I’ve known for 4 days and time feels like it’s stood still since and all I’ve done is worry 😂

It is reassuring thank you🫶🏻! I don’t like being hung up on it and I wish I could stop testing tbh!

No I’ve never watched that program, maybe it’s because I’m a younger dino 😂

Aw this looks really good progression!! 🫶🏻 fingers crossed the bit of pink is nothing and just little bean burrowing deep in.

I’ve been tracking progression too, but mine doesn’t seem as strong as yours! I’m trying not to get caught up in it, but easier said than done 😳

@Lila34830 thank you!! I’m sorry if it sounds dramatic, I’ve never done multiple tests I just did one last time so I don’t know what’s good or bad etc and I just started to panic when I saw the tiny pink tinge in the tissue

@Gemmaemilyx @Lila34830 got my fingers crossed for you both.

I’ve had line progression almost every day but today it was pretty similar to yesterday (possibly tiny tiny bit lighter) - not had a dye stealer yet! did have the faintest bit of pink when I wiped earlier so now I’m super nervous. It was so faint I almost didn’t see it and now I wish I didn’t! Will test again tomorrow and see what it looks like but that’s my last test that I’ve currently got then.

LMP was 6/11 so should be 4and a bit weeks so we will see.

Cycle 36 here of TTC #3 at the Dino age of 42. I'm in a highly annoying limbo now, as I'd not been taking OPKs this cycle, partly as I was trying to wind down and partly from complacency as I've been a lot more regular since my last stint at TTC, and I'm now a day later than expected, no AF as yet, but BFNs and spotting in the last few days, so I'm sure she's on her way. I promised myself this this would be my last cycle so I just want to reach the end of it now....

@Lila34830 absolutely!! My son and daughter are both August babies, and if this goes well this one will be too🤣

ooooh how exciting!! I have no willpower and I’d still be testing 5dpo knowing implantation hasn’t happened 🤣🤣

@KT199 I really rate them!! Not bad price too! I can only get my hands on first response on Amazon which is a pain!!

good luck girls - bfp for Christmas for us all 💫
