@Anya23 so sorry to hear that 😢 hope you’re as ok as can be x

I think I am now! I have to go back in a week, if no heavy bleeding by then.. I'm just upset that we're losing months because of this but oh well :( it wasn't meant to be this way.
Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi guys, just a quick update from me - unfortunately it seems like I'm going through an Mc. Suspected yolk sac at 5+5, yolk sac 4x4 mm suspected fetal pole and possible heart activity at 6+4. They told me all is good and come back in three weeks to measure crl, but I started spotting yesterday..really light, same as a week ago, but this time it didn't stop, I still have occasional light brown spotting today. No heart activity on scan at exactly seven weeks, so they gave me progesterone for the spotting but the lady wasn't very hopeful... Especially since I know my ovulation date. Maybe I'll be back in a few months on a different ttc thread :)

@HansBanans🤣🤣🤣 the struggle is real that’s currently our problem 🤣 DS is 9 so no car seat but Dd is 18 months so we need something that will fit 2 child seats and a 9year old in the back🤣🤣🤣

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks they 100% do!

@Ec2808 DP has just got to work and text me “we need a bigger car” 😂

@Ec2808 he’s relieved and a bit shocked I think 🤣

What a fab Sunday morning for him. My DD was completely unplanned and I was a a complete renegade to be honest and didn’t think too deeply about anything. This time we’ve been trying for 15 months so I’ve been over analysing everything!
I've just had to talk DH down about money- babies come exactly when they are intended to!

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks I completely get it. I had so many scans when I was pregnant with DS. With him we were pregnant the first month we tried and I was convinced he wouldn’t stick as we hadn’t tried hard enough 🫣

I decided to just tell DP this morning so that we can support each other if it doesn’t work out. Wasn’t even a fancy way of telling him, just lead him to my dressing table and showed him my drawer full of pregnancy tests 😂 I feel like a weight has lifted off my shoulders

HansBanans · 09/11/2025 07:53

@GiveTheGoblinsSnacks I think you’re right, I will try and chill out now I promise 🤣

It’s so difficult- we are going back and forth on if we should get a scan because I don’t want to become obsessive with them and ultimately I think at this point it’s a little bit of just weighing the pig but also I’m so desperate for something tangible!

This is yesterday morning’s and this morning’s for a side by side comparison. I think I can maybe breathe? Thank you for listening to my rambles @Ec2808 @Anya23

This latest is darker- I hope it gives you some reassurance. I know how hard is to clasp for concrete answers following a chemical pregnancy. I had one last month.maybe now is the time to stop testing and enjoy preparing to tell your husband. What a wonderful birthday gift for him.
Congratulations to you all!

Anya23 · 09/11/2025 07:33

@HansBanansThat seems actually darker!! Fingers crossed 😊

I’ve just come back to it and it’s dried like this. Maybe they’re just pants tests 😂 it’s much pinker in person

@Anya23 this gives me some hope, thank you 🤞🏻 I need to remind myself, with DS I had a good line on a Clearblue and 2 days later it was significantly lighter. Then 2 days after that it was so dark

Anya23 · 09/11/2025 06:59

{mention:HansBanans}Yes,@HansBanansIés, on some days it was lighter than the day before!
Fingers crossed it'll darken tomorrow!

HansBanans · 09/11/2025 06:52

@Anya23 do you mean the line was getting lighter? I’ve done Clearblue which show it getting darker but I’ve run out of those now. I’ve got one boots test left and I’m honestly terrified to use it in case it’s lighter. It’s taken us 6 months to get here 😢

@Ec2808 thanks, I’m keeping everything crossed. I actually feel sick 😩 if this is a chemical then I’ll need to confide in DP and know he’ll be disappointed too 😢

@Ec2808 I think I’ll just see what the tests say over the next couple of days. I’ll probably have a pretty definitive answer by Tuesday either way 😕

Anya23 · 09/11/2025 06:47

@HansBanansI was also checking progression on 2-3 different type of tests lol, because on one kind there was either no progression even after two days, or it showed the line getting darker which made me loose my mind... So you really do have to check every 2-3 days and maybe try another kind of test as well :)

HansBanans · 09/11/2025 06:46

@Ec2808 these have always been darker in the evenings but I feel like yesterday morning’s was darker than this morning 😕 my boots from yesterday is giving me hope as that was quite dark and ChatGPT is giving me some hope by saying cheaper test’s accuracy can fluctuate in the early days. If I was going to get bloods done Tuesday then I’d need to tell DP before his birthday as it’s rather pricey ☹️

@HansBanansbut i will add that my premoms took ages to get darker too…and were darker in the evenings and not morning..
