Some of you may recognize my username from the pregnancy and miscarriage boards. DH and I have been TTC since September 2016 and I had a MMC in January followed by an early MC in May. We took a break but got back on the wagon last month and this is our second month of TTC again.

I think I ovulated yesterday and we have DTD three times in the last four days, so I'm hopeful this might be the month for us! AF is due on 3rd September and I know it's going to be a long wait. Anyone want to join for some 2ww support? Smile

My bleeding has stopped! Two days of spotting and one and a half days of bleeding. Seems too light to have been af. Doctors appointment today should hopefully get advice.

PointeShoesAndTutus · 30/08/2017 09:13

Thanks @Fia, I shall head to Boots in my lunch break!

Good luck today @Dragon, everything crossed for you!

Mrsjones17 · 30/08/2017 09:14

@bubble AF is due Monday for me and I'm trying to hold out till then. We can be strong together!

Yet another BFP dream last night for me. Driving myself mad!!

DragonsandDungeons · 30/08/2017 09:16

Thanks PointeShoesandTutus. I'm praying this is a miracle, every medical person I've spoken to sounds confused.

I also have been taking aspirin to prevent miscarriage and I've read that can make the bleeding worse Shock

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 09:28

oh no, ladies can I take anti diarrhoea medication? Due to test Friday, having a mare this morning!

EsmeGNU · 30/08/2017 09:29

@Cinnamonstoothbrush, @bubble04, @Opensesame1, @Mrsjones17 I'm due on Monday, trying to hold out testing til at least then, if not Tuesday. We can be strong ladies!

@DragonsandDungeons Hope today gives you some good news!

gerriberry · 30/08/2017 09:35

@dragons Good luck for today xxx

Hi everyone

Congratulations to everyone with a BFP!

@DragonsandDungeons hope it goes well for you today.

Thought I'd actually join up and say hi as I've been following the thread for a few days now.

Suspect I'm out though as AF due on 1st but had spotting last couple of days and BFN this morning so AF must be coming early.

Is there a page on here where you can find out what some of the abbreviations mean? I'm new to this so not understanding all the shorthand lol!

DragonsandDungeons · 30/08/2017 10:21

Thanks! So. Did a pregnancy test at the doctors and it was negative. She was very good and said she thinks the first negative test I got was a false negative and that these faint positives are left over hormones. So while I'm not pregnant, she doesn't think I've had another miscarriage.

She thinks the bleed was light because of the D&C. She also agreed with me that I should have my progesterone tested because of my history of bleeding while pregnant and spotting generally.

I feel relieved as I was worried I'd lost another one. She still wants me to have the scan next week but says that there's very little to worry about.

PabloEscobarlo · 30/08/2017 10:48

I'm glad your feeling a little more reassured @DragonsandDungeons, can you rest today?

Thanks @Fia256 boots it is!

DragonsandDungeons · 30/08/2017 11:04

Pablo yes, going to take it easy today. Thank you all for all the support(:

Bubble04 · 30/08/2017 11:15

@DragonsandDungeons glad they had some reassurance for you. Try to get some time to relax and rest. Look after yourself x

I hate this symptom spotting, particularly when it's probably too early to get symptoms, but I just don't feel right. Snappy, nauseous, and now I'm crying for nothing. It's probably all just stress of not knowing. I literally cried because hubby said the only girl name he likes is Victoria. What on earth is wrong with me!

DragonsandDungeons · 30/08/2017 11:21

I hate symptom spotting too, it's horrible!

I'm starting a new job soon so I'm hoping I'll be focused on that and not symptom spot soon!

HolyShmoly · 30/08/2017 11:22

And I'm out before the bus even leaves!
I'll start the October bus tonight if it hasn't already been started (or is there an etiquette for it?)
Before I go though, does anyone have any suggestions for which thermometer to use?

EsmeGNU · 30/08/2017 12:14

Welcome @OrchardLily, there is an acronym page that I find really useful here www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms

Glad the Doctor was helpful @DragonsandDungeons, hopeful you are feeling a bit better.

I'm so on board with hating the symptom spotting, but not being able to stop myself @Bubble04, so frustrating

PointeShoesAndTutus · 30/08/2017 13:04

Ohh noooo! I just went to the toilet and on wiping had the tiniest speck of pink cm! I'm 11dpo, I'm so out aren't I?! I've had this before AF in previous months.

Anyone had this and gone on to get a BFP?

Piewraith · 30/08/2017 13:05

I did an internet cheapie test this morning and BFN.

AF due on Saturday.

Went shopping and saw FRERs on sale at the supermarket. Well how could I say no to that. Anyway bought one and tested, BFP!

Funnily enough I have no symptoms at all, which I now realise is a sign because normally I have a lot of AF related symptoms by now. All these months I was thinking sore breasts, bloating, etc were signs and actually the sign is nothing!

Fia256 · 30/08/2017 13:07

Wow @Piewraith congratulations!!! That's brilliant news 😄

@PointeShoesAndTutus yes me! My last pregnancy I got a streak of pink cm/blood around implantation. This time I got a spot of brown xx

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 13:55

Firstly I'm very very sorry, I caved. My frer delivery arrived and it said 99% accuracy 4 days before missed period so I lost my cool and poas.
Secondly OMG

Happy for you Alex Grin

Bubble04 · 30/08/2017 14:06

@AlexsMum89 congratulations! That's brilliant news! A dark line too GrinGrin

EsmeGNU · 30/08/2017 14:07

Fab news @AlexsMum89! How many dpo are you?

I'm rapidly losing my cool. I've made a symptom spotting spreadsheet as a distraction technique but I have three FRER at home and I'm 10dpo tomorrow.

AlexsMum89 · 30/08/2017 14:17

Thank you everyone! Ahhh!!! I took that picture really quickly too, the line is almost as dark as the control line now!

I'm 11dpo today (I think). I'm sorry, I feel that I'm contributing to the group loss of control!

PabloEscobarlo · 30/08/2017 14:35

Oh my gosh @AlexsMum89 congratulations!!!!!!

gerriberry · 30/08/2017 14:39

@Alexsmum89 Congratulations!!! 😘
