I've had a stressful couple of days. Thought I'd test yesterday just to check it was negative so we could start trying again, but I tested clearly positive on multiple tests. Rang the Dr and they said I had to go to a&e because of the heavy bleeding, as they don't do direct referrals to the emergency pregnancy unit. Spent about 6 hours there yesterday, had a scan and they couldn't find anything so called it a "pregnancy of unknown location", and said they couldn't rule out ectopic which might require an operation. Had a blood test, then need to go back for a repeat blood test on Saturday to check HCG has gone down. All been a bit scary. Never thought I'd say it but fingers crossed it was a miscarriage (I don't think it could just be a small early pregnancy because I'm pretty sure of my dates, very regular cycle). So I think we might actually sit November out and wait for my next period.

Hope you get some answers!! Sorry to hear this!

I think I’m 8dpo, just got home and took a test and after five mins it looks like this. Last peed about 2.5 hours ago. Do we think this is finally it? 🤞🏻

I see a faint line! Congratulations!

@TTCjourney2025from this I would have said CD13 was ovulation.

I thought this could be it but my temperature hasn’t spiked and it’s CD18 now!

Orangeroses243 · 06/11/2025 20:15

@HansBanans im going to test shortly i am 11dpo now and feeling so hopeful I cant not 🙌 il of course share my test x

@Orangeroses243 I’ll definitely report back in the morning 🤞🏻

Orangeroses243 · 06/11/2025 18:18

@HansBanans well... I see a very faint line! Early testing at 8dpo so going to be very very faint-- which it is 😁
Keep testing everyday and let us know how you get on 🙌

Hi all!
second month TTC - last month I got my LH surge on CD18 and it’s currently CD18 and no sign of it coming… thought I was ovulating early due to the increased levels around CD13 but temp didn’t increase! Am I being impatient? I worry because my cycles are typically 28-29 days.

Congratulations summertime!

I was on these groups earlier in the year but took some months off to be chilled about TTC - obviously that didn't work so thought I'd rejoin! It's month 3 after an ectopic but it'll 1 year since starting if this month doesn't work so I'm feeling the pressure. We were "supposed" to have a baby by Christmas so I know I'll be devastated if I'm not even slightly pregnant.

Orangeroses243 · 05/11/2025 14:59

@ijustwantcake sorry to hear this! How many DPO are you? Is AF due today?

Its month 1 for me too and I felt like this the other day when I tested. It was 9dpo so I am hoping I still have a chance. I am trying to stay positive as you said its the 1st month.

Moosey898 · 05/11/2025 12:51

ijustwantcake · 05/11/2025 12:50

Caved and did a test early using the clear blue early detection, it was negative so just waiting for my period to arrive now:/ trying to not feel disappointed as its only month one

Sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is to not get disappointed, but as you say it's only month one and there's only a 20-25% chance of it happening each time. If it's not this month, fingers crossed for next time for you x

Ahh thank you @Orangeroses243im keeping my fingers crossed for you too 🤞

that's a good way to look at it :) so weird how it all
works out 😂 xxx

Orangeroses243 · 05/11/2025 06:52

@summertime94 ive had sharp pains left and right this morning and now feel like AF going to spring upon me any moment so going to wait for anymore testing. . Cant help but think im out this month. Which is ok, I was just very excited but if AF does show then il look at it positively as in I can track better to the exact day as its been hard to do that after stopping pill and missed pill a week prior.

When I was pregnant with my girl I didnt have any symptoms or even suspect i was pregnant. So its interesting you have been the same this time.
Again a massive congratulations to you ✨️♥️ xxx

summertime94 · 05/11/2025 00:15

@Littlegreenpebblesand @PessimysticMegthanks 😊

I would say this is the month where I've had no symptoms or indication I was pregnant so I was surprised to get the positive. In previous months where I've noted things like bloating etc and thought I could be pregnant I never was!

@Orangeroses243fingers crossed for you. Will you be testing again today?

Chesnutmare12 · 04/11/2025 23:25

Hi ladies I think I’m going to join you will be 2dpo tomorrow x

Orangeroses243 · 04/11/2025 21:50

@summertime94 @overwork given me hope after my test at 9dp today as too was negative

Hi I’m sorry if this the wrong thread to post in, I’m just a bit lost;

so basically we are wanting to start trying for baby 2 but I’ve just had no period at all since coming off the pill in September. I’m just wondering if anyone here had similar and how long it took to finally arrive? I can’t track properly until it happens 😊 TIA x and good luck all x

edited to add with DS I didn’t have to wait as I still had a monthly period on the same pill but since having him 20 months ago I haven’t really had 1 just the odd spotting x

Edited

I’m not sure what the general rule of thumb is but, I stopped the pill (pop) on the 31st of July and my first period came 12th of September so pretty much 6 weeks to the day after I stopped. I hope that helps you in any way !

PessimysticMeg · 04/11/2025 17:25

summertime94 · 04/11/2025 12:29

Just did a digital and I'm pregnant :)

Congratulations - that’s great!

I think I’m around the same stage of the 2 week wait as you but I’m too nervous to test. Do you have any symptoms would you say? I don’t feel any different to usual and not sure if that means I’m out.
