Tww starts tomorrow!

[Birdtable]

Anyone else?? Ovulation yesterday and today and been dtd lots!! Ttc #2 2cycle. Let's hope we get our bfp!!

Congratulations Terry! We are all very pleased for you.

Ladyflower, don't know about dpo but AF is prob due around next Monday. I'm going to crack Wednesday next week, or possibly Monday .

RedBunny, defo go and see the doctor. Ask about tranexamic acid - it's an antiinflammatory that can help stop crazy bleeding, if it is just that your hormones and womb have got confused and keep flushing everything out above and beyond the call of duty. You take it just for the heavy days of your period (so no issues about TTC afterwards). I had it a couple of months ago because I was losing pints for 4 days every month, and one load did the job and reset me nicely (was prescribed 3 months worth but I haven't needed them). Obviously the GP will have their own ideas, but might be worth asking about it.

Congratulations Terry!!! I had a sneaky feeling that might be what was happening. I guess that bleed was not a period but a breakthrough bleed (or implantation?). I can understand that you are very shocked when you thought you were gearing up for ov and it turns out you are pregnant. I was hoping that was going to happen to me when I got 3.5 days of positive OPKs, but knew it was unlikely after 6 days of bleeding! Anyway congrats again, I hope the news sinks in soon and I'm glad it's happened nice and quickly for you. Don't feel bad, we always love to see a BFP on here. Gives us hope that it is possible! Of course we will now all be thinking we might still be pregnant even when we get our period
Ooh OK pinpan, can't wait for more POAS action!

My doctor was not very helpful. I think maybe she was too much older and is in the old thinking on miscarriages, because she said to me she was pleased I hadn't gotten pregnant yet because she thinks it's bad for your body to get pregnant before six months after your miscarriage. And she didn't seem to think spotting was a problem. Apparently the only thing that matters is that I ovulate.
Also though I saw someone who was at toddler group with me and was pregnant and I remember we had a conversation where she asked if I wanted another. I'd said yes I did but my husband wanted to wait a few more months and shed told me to just talk him into it then if I really wanted it. So today it was all "never talked your husband into it then" I came home and cried.

Congratulations to terry though!! That's really good news for you. Ttc is hard and you've like skipped it. Woohoo!!!

You should have given that toddler-group-mum a punch, RedBunny! So insensitive. People are idiots. (Other people, obv. Not this group. Oh no.)

On the "ridiculous symptoms that might not be symptoms" front, my face is bright red and hot like I have sunburn. I haven't even been outside today (well, barely, and it was cloudy and cold). What does it meeeeeeeaaaaan? It must mean something, right?

It made me have a huge argument with my husband though. It reminded me of I really wanted a baby and he kept saying no. And now it's not happening. I know I shouldn't but I feel so resentful that he made me wait so long.

Oh god Redbunny, why are people to STUPID?!!! Does it not cross their tiny minds that there might be more going on. I really think of TTC as a personal thing and if someone doesn't offer information, then you shouldn't ask!
Wonder how much docs really know about TTC. WHat you really want is a fertility doctor to speak to, but don't know how you would get that without being referred. At what DPO is the spotting starting?
Redface pinpan, could defo be a symptom, have you googled? So far I haven't got any symptoms, which is definitely a symptom!

It's at 10dpo it starts.
I have to say pinpan I haven't heard of that symptom, sounds interesting though!!! I agree, ask dr google!!

Dr Google says it could be hormones... I have had it for 2 or 3 days but it's much worse today than it has been. Cool moisturiser helping a bit. Interesting!

So that's still long enough for implantation before spotting starts. Hmmm, I don't know. Have you looked at natural alternatives for balancing hormones? Evening Primrose meant to help with that.

Red I want to kiss you... I'm so glad it's not just me who is resentful of being made to wait. I love OH dearly but I wanted this ages ago and he wouldn't even agree to me coming off the pill. In my worst moments I often think I should have just done it and dread him making me wait for subsequent children. I know that makes me a total bitch but men have no idea how hard this is for women!!

One night when having a particularly bad time my husband told me if id really wanted a baby so badly I'd have made sure to get one. Yes it's all my fault because I didn't become a deceitful wife and lie and steal your sperm
I don't know. It's just very hard. It's very hard he kept saying no and then expecting me to look after his son half the time. That was very insulting. Of course he says he didn't know Id have miscarriages so it's not his fault. And I know that isn't. But he did know how badly I wanted to start trying and I wasn't good enough for him to give me a baby then but I was good enough to keep caring for his child with his ex whenever he didn't want to do it. It's very hard.
Yes I think I should have just stopped taking the pill. I might still have had miscarriages but as this was 18 months ago I'd at least have answers by now.

That said I do love my husband very much. I know miscarriage is very very hard on relationships and lots do end as a result, so I try and keep it in mind that it's just another storm to weather. A really really bad one, but still, if we get through it, our marriage will be really strong. Aren't you getting married soon Sarah?

OOh pinpan, that sounds promising!
Well Sarah and Redbunny, you are both lovely ladies for not secretly stopping, a lot of people do (so I hear) and it is very wrong to trick someone into giving you a baby. Even if there is a problem somewhere, a lot of them can be fixed these days (once you get your GP to listen), so I am very sure you will both (and me hopefully) get your sticky BFPs at some point xx

Thanks Ladyflower. You are right. I think it's very easy to lose perspective sometimes.
I'm quite interested in this symptom pinpan has you know. It's much more exciting than the regular ones!!

Congrats Terry!

Well I stupidly POAS today with a cheapie internet one and got a line, then did a FRER and got a BFN so v depressed! Think I'm either 8 or 9 dpo though so no idea why I'm depressed, my AF is not as regular anymore either so it tends to be anything from 27 to 29 days so I might have been too early for FRER?

Not testing again till Friday, promise!!!

Good luck everyone! I also thought if I'm not preggars I'm obviously also getting an acne problem to add to my woes!!

Yes pinpans new symptom is very exciting. Something else for us to look out for!! Oh no newbie!! Sounds like the addict in you has taken control! I reckon you need to be giving those tests to dh to hide away till the weekend

Ha ha lady flower, no point as he is as bad as me!!

Congrats Terry! Hope this positive news is a hood omen for the rest of us..! Been for my blood test to check ovulation today, fingers crossed they can detect good hormone levels.

In the meantime, I am about 7dpo today, holding off poas until sat 12th (day before AF due). Aahhh! No symptoms except slight back ache which usually means AF is on the way sigh

that's the problem with pregnancy symptoms right, they're usually the same as AF ones!

I have an appointment at the Early Pregnancy Unit tomorrow so fingers crossed for some answers. The CB digi test tells me 2-3 weeks (post conception) which is mathematically impossible unless it's immaculate conception (DTD on 10 June and then not until 27 June... we've been married 7 years ) so I'm worried I've either had a MC, an ectopic or its not developing properly. Has anyone got anything else depressing I've left off the list/couldn't find on Google

Terry, could be just that you have an awesome hcg rate and a 27 June conception is just more powerful than the average value that the digi test will be working off. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, my face is less red today and I feel crampy like AF is due, but it shouldn't be along for at least 4 days (and that my minimum good grief I can't possibly drop to an even shorter cycle estimate). Could just be that my newly washed jeans were too tight though!

Hey everyone just dropping in,

Have you seen this website?

www.countdowntopregnancy.com/pregnancy-test/dpo-chart.php?dpo=12

Great if your a POAS addict, it gives you pictures and percentages of what other peoples sticks look like at the various DPO.

Terry I have read before that midwives don't really like those clearblue digital conception indicator things because they can make people worry unnecessarily. It's entirely possible it is from your 10th June DTD. If you google the range your hcg can be at that many weeks and compare it to the range of hcg clearblue test for for each week you will understand why it can be misleading.

Or yes like pinpan said your hcg is higher than they set their weeks at. With my first miscarriage I suspected something was wrong because my tests never went up from 2-3 weeks. But at the same time with my daughter who was a successful pregnancy it only said 1-2 weeks when I was meant to get 3+.

thanks for the reassurance all, as I'm slowly getting used to the idea I'm getting more scared of it not happening!
