Hi girlies,
Hoping you can help, so I was late on my period last month, got it this month but nothing like the usual I'm normally a very heavy and prolonged bleeder and it hasn't been the same for a while. I tested last month and nothing had a few days (3 max) of sore breasts, I feel like I've been on an emotional rollercoaster the last two weeks, today I've started bloating very very largely and I never really bloat! No matter how much I eat 🤦🏻‍♀️😂, on top of that I have a haemorrhoid. Came out of no where and didn't even realise till earlier, thinking there's chances it could be a little one but worrying what it is!

Hope everyone's doing okay. If you've had a positive result then there's a September baby thread 💕

Similar happened to us, missed miscarriage baby’s heart stopped at 12 weeks, had surgery to remove baby, 2 days later I bled out, went back into hospital where we thought I would need more surgery, scan confirmed they had left tissue behind which had caused an infection, after lots of iv drips to stop the bleeding and antibiotics they got the bleeding under control, such a traumatising experience xx

I'm so sorry that happened to you. So frightening.

I believe the flashing smiley is just for an estrogen rise, peak is the LH high level to indicate ovulation could be happening soon

Thank you! Hopefully I'll get my solid smiley next month

TTCFC91 · 28/01/2025 16:58

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Such a scary experience!

I am trying to conceive after a misscarriage.I lost the baby in September. I ended up having a hemorrhage out of the blue in November because I hadn't passed everything and needed and emergency D and C. Traumatised does not even cover it. I am finally in the headspace to TTC again. I use clearblue ovulation sticks. I did in my last pregnancy also. This time round I am just getting flashy faces and no solid face. I have had flashy smiles for 5 days now. Can you get pregnant when you have sex when you have flashing smiles or do you need a solid? Thanks.

Hi I’d love to join, are people still posting in this thread or should I be looking for another? Currently CD 21 (my cycles are 25 days) bit of a back story, we had a missed miscarriage back in June 2023, babies heart stopped at 12 weeks, had no luck since, I had a scan on Monday to check my uterus/ ovaries etc as I am under the miscarriage clinic at the hospital, I had specific bloods taken etc, however Monday I was on cycle day 17 and she said it looked like I was about to ovulate (late for me as I usually ovulate cycle day 11) she didn’t seem concerned and said everything looked good and healthy, obviously I am concerned why I hadn’t ovulated already and thinking how can I ovulate so late when my cycles are only 25 days, I’ve been googling (shouldn’t have) it’s saying late ovulation could mean poor egg quality so now got myself in a bit of a flap, I havnt been tracking ovulation as this just stresses me out and I’m trying to stay as chill as possible, I won’t be early testing either as I have lost hope where its been so long trying since the missed miscarriage (over a year and a half) sorry I’m rambling now, lovely to see a few of you with positive tests, I really hope I do get one soon xx

I feel the same. I feel really fatigued and nauseous but I know a lot is going around at the moment. I've been reading about 10dpo being too early to test so 9 would be unlikely to show a BFP. 🤞

11DPO now and still BFN but symptoms are weird and wonderful. Must be in my head 😥very frustrating... I hope your nausea turns out more exciting than mine!!

blackberryhill · 22/01/2025 16:04

99% I'm out, 10DPO, BFN this morning, brown watery discharge.

Congrats to all the BFPs, I'll see some of my fellow BFNs on the Feb thread.

AmberARK · 22/01/2025 14:45

Hey! I'm on CD24 & 5DPO.

The wait is killing me. I've had symptoms that I wouldn't usually have this time in my cycle like sore achey boobs and a tingling/pulling on my left side, I'm also a little bloated. I have easy @ home tests and have done a few but I know its way to early to get results but its driving me crazy! But also trying not to overthink into anything, as I'm a massive over thinker.

Has anyone got any tips or advice. :)

Finally took a digital test today at 21DPO after not seeing much line progression with regular tests, got a nice 2-3 weeks. It was very reassuring to see the word ‘pregnant’ - makes it feel more real!

Amazing news! Congrats 👏🏻

littlefox90 · 21/01/2025 12:17

I'm out this month AF arrived this morning bang on time 😢 so will be over in the febuary thread on my 5th cycle ❤️ congratulations to everyone who got their BFP this month x

littlefox90 · 20/01/2025 16:29

I wish I could have that self control! I know it's too early to test but do it anyway. Kept telling myself I would not test until 14dpo this time after convincing myself i was last month with a squinter 💔

I don't have any tests in the house to completely avoid the temptation. I'm decided to pretend I'm living in the past, where you found out when AF didn't show and when doc did blood test.
I'm even going so far as (if/when it ever happens) not finding out baby's gender.
I'm a very impatient person and dislike surprises so curious to see if I'll last the full 40 weeks but still. Just removing the temptation entirely is the only solution.

TenaciousOne · 20/01/2025 17:09

AF arrived this morning for me. Annoyingly late.

littlefox90 · 20/01/2025 16:29

ImpatientlyTryingToConceive · 20/01/2025 13:13

I'm also due on tomorrow. So sure I will be there with you.
Sorry that you got a negative. I did a test once and that negative was heart breaking so refuse to test anymore. I just let AF tell me that it's time to start again.
Hope you can keep a positive mindset as we go into the next cycle.
Sending you a virtual hug🫂
