Oh you poor thing ! But hopefully will be a funny memory when the baby is here 🤞

Now I’m tempted to try the Premom test at 9dpo , since I got the preg tests with the ovulation strips… been trying to hold off 😂

That makes perfect sense @FigPig!!! So exciting

Congratulations 🥰

Thank you so much! I am trying not to get too excited but it’s basically impossible.

@FlyHighSky72 I think I’d recommend Premom because they’re cheap and sensitive! I saw a line and then confirmed with the FRER and a CB. Testing with so many varieties is obviously overkill but I just didn’t believe it and somehow seeing lines on about four different tests made it more real 😂

Amazing @FigPigcongrats!!! Which test would you recommend?

@FigPig amazing! You're not rambling. We want all the information 😂 delighted for you x

Just to add, the quality of those images has really gone down since uploading but very clear on my phone and in real life!

Oh I’m so glad @FlyHighSky72! Knew you’d get there.

Positive again today and on a digital on 9dpo. Posting in case anyone finds my lines or experience useful - literally no symptoms at all until I tested positive. All the other months, I’d be looking for cramps, twinges, exhaustion etc. My boobs are now pretty sore but they always are before a period so I wouldn’t have counted it had I not got a positive. I do now have a funny taste in my mouth and feel a bit spacey.

At 8dpo my lines were faint but clear to the eye - less clear on a photo. The CB early response was the weakest. FRER was instant but faint. Premom the same.

Anyway I’ll stop rambling!

@YKM2829 how many dpo are you now? What have your periods been like since your ectopic? Mine have been shorter since my MMC. It could be implantation bleeding also. Its so hard to know. Generally, it says it takes a couple of days to get a BFP after implantation bleeding but I got my BFPs on the same day as my implantation bleeding so everyone is different!

Oh but I did do a test earlier today and it was negative, however is it possible it wouldn't show up until maybe tomorrow as maybe now the bleeding has stopped, it's implanted now, maybe?? I dunno am I clutching at straws cos that's what it sounds like to me hahaha 😅😅🤣🤣🤣

Sooo. Started bleeding Thursday, and today its stopped and its been a very light period could tell with the pad I wore at work the first 2 days and I've only had in like the small light tampons (the yellow aldi ones if anyone knows 😅), last night and today. Changed them hourly as that's my usual routine with a normal period but defiantly didn't need to at all. However didn't actually need to. And the bleeding has stopped for a few hours now today I've been without anything in at all just good knickers just incase but nothing since about maybe 3 this afternoon.

Part of me is thinking is this implantation bleeding. It was significantly lighter than my usual period, but not just a few little drops. But then the ectopic I had in January was similar implantion to this however I was in signicant pain continuously as well with that, whereas I only had cramps the first day. Ive been fine since, again not like a usual period either....

But then the skeptic in me is also saying it could just be a light month 🤷🏽‍♀️😩.....

Sorry longwinded, I'm a gabber 😅

@ttcjourney20001 this will be a funny story to tell later! Hopefully to your January baby! I would definately be reassured by that - although I have had HG in both of my pregnancies so know how you feel with the sickness. It sucks, even if it’s strangely calming!

Good news @SureLook!

oh no @ttcjourney20001sounds horrid but good horrid if you know what I mean - keep us up to date, maybe it’s twins!!

@FlyHighSky72 thanks! Ah fantastic, nearly there. A bit of reassurance for you. Mine are getting darker and I have EWCM.

@ttcjourney20001 oh you poor thing! Sounds like you're a bit reassured even though it's crap to be getting sick.

It’s a good sign to me, I’m feeling grateful to be going sick and everything, but still shite spewing your guts up every night. I’m 5wks 2-3 days today. Midwife appt on the 28/5 if everything goes well

Oh my goodness, that’s nuts! And surely a good sign?!? Even though it’s horrible. How many soo are you now? In keeping everything crossed for you. It sounds promising 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi again everyone, still in Spain, but pink discharge is no longer. Only lasted a day. Nausea back in full swing, mood swings are awful the last couple of days. seems that every night my nausea kicks in at 5:30. Like clockwork, so crazy. Had a mocktail earlier, Berry Smash and was full of cranberries and raspberries etc, it was sour and really strong. As soon as the clock hit 5:30, I felt as though I needed to go sick, ran upstairs of a posh club in Marbella and went sick everywhere!!!!! No word of a lie, a cranberry shot out of my nose. Amongst all of the affluent people with their Louis Vuitton bags and Balenciaga trainers, I looked like an absolute lemon. 🤣🤣🤣

Sending love @SureLookand @Samsi17- this is todays OPK I know it’s not as dark as the control yet but progress!!

@Samsi17 Thank you, it really is awful. I'm the same, very keen to be pregnant again but I'm dreading the anxiety I'm going to feel. Like @Thomsonetthompson said, if you track ovulation then you can be sure of dates 😊

Thank you. I'm sorry you had a loss also. I didn't know much information until this week when I went through it tbh and it's just been awful. They said to do a test in 3 weeks but I think I'll ovulate before so going to try again in a few days.
I'm keen to get pregnant again soon but also think it'll be full of new anxiety now this has happened...

@Samsi17 I don't mind at all! I actually had a D&C so the hospital advised that I should be negative within two weeks and to contact them if not.

Thank you. Was it 2 weeks after the first day of bleeding do you mind me asking?

I'm only on my second month post-mc but didn't conceive that first cycle. Everything I read said it was just for dating purposes - I guess because not everyone tracks ovulation - surely dating a pregnancy when you know how many Dpo you are is simple?

@Samsi17I'm sorry to hear you’re going through this. No advice (sorry!) but sending sympathy.
@2Sugars2i think I may have misunderstood where we are cycle wise! I’m nowhere near anywhere DPO - AF still in the building!!
@FlyHighSky72i saw your earlier comment - don’t apologise! This is the place to get this all out!!!
@FigPig😬😬😬 tentative congrats!!

Anyone else joining me on CD6?
I'm thinking at least this next part is the more active part where there’s something to do!! 😂
I hate the waiting.
