Lucky thread for all those around 7dpo...

[mamabear05]

Hi girls

Thought it might be useful to start a thread to get all those of us who are down to our last week of the tww together and who are going to start testing soon!

Let the symptom sharing etc begin and let's pour all our best wishes in for plenty of bfps this coming week!

Who's with me?

@mamabear05 stop torturing yourself and stay positive!! Test again in a few days xxx

@Owlpatrol when you've seen them before have they turned out as good news or bad? (I'm sorry I don't know whether you mean you've seen them personally or on other people's posts).

@wishfulthinker81 I know I am torturing myself lol but I can't help it 😂 After my miscarriage I'm so anxious and just have a bad feeling that those lines are too light. Fingers crossed they'll be darker in a day or so though. I really do hope so. Please let this be a sticky bean....we really do need some good news in this household 🙏❤️🙏❤️🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@mamabear05 been there myself and totally understand, that's why I said to try to hold off.

Yeah on other people's posts and always turned out fine because basically every test can be slightly different and it takes 48 hours for the hcg to raise again to be noticeably different so fxxxxx and lots of baby dust xxx

Aww Mamma fx for you.
Still no af here yet, I'm going to try and wait until Monday morning before I test and officially class af as late, was due yesterday but I've been caught out with her turning up a couple of days late before and also cramping coming and going so suspect she's on her way.
I lept out of bed as soon as I woke this morning and went for a wee so i couldn't talk myself into testing with fmu

@mamabear05 fingers and toes and everything crossed for you lovely! Xxx

Any updates mama?

Woke this morning to really sore boobs I was going to test this morning but fairly certain I'm out anyway. Af due anytime today or tomorrow x I feel ok though but my 30th is looming and I said I'd go to the doctors when that comes and goes so I don't want to face up to thay reality

Went shopping yesterday and saw the most gorgeous independent yummy mummy shop in the world I felt so odd and a bit numb but oddly I was like "my time will come" almost like an ephany really weird! But I often listen to my instincts so fx for next month would be amazing birthday present x

@Owlpatrol you're still not out yet but even if AF does show her ugly face that would be an amazing birthday next month...maybe that's what bubs is waiting for!

I am 99.9% sure I'm having a chemical :( Whilst I appreciate these things are common in starting to worry that this, along with my miscarriage last month, means something is wrong with me. Obviously I can get pregnant quickly which is fab news but my body obviously keeps rejecting them which is not so fab news.

I did another test this morning, FRER again and it was about the same if not a little fainter than the bfp on Thursday. I have read somewhere though that fmu is not great for some people though so clinging onto that thought (thurs/fri where evening urine) but I'm sure if it was going to be successful they would have got darker anyway with it being 3 days since the first test.

Nevermind eh, onwards and upwards!
Fingers crossed next month will be our month instead xx

Just had an ultrasound for painful periods and been told he couldn’t find my left ovary at all! :( completely terrified that it’s never going to happen and there’s something wrong.

Yes definitely and sending big virtual hugs honey. Take it easy today. Still nothing for me....decided to start spring cleaning to take my mind off things! Xx

@Mollydog88 just read your message about your ultrasound scan. Try not to worry- I'm a radiologist so do a lot of pelvic Uss scans and we frequently can't find ovaries- they have a tendency to tuck themselves behind bowel loops which can't be scanned through! Also would be exceedingly rare for there not to actually be an ovary there unless you've had an op down there in the past!
Also you can't see any pregnancy sac on abdominal ultrasound until like 5 weeks at least if you're in 2WW! Try not to worry!

@jessabean thank you so much for this. I wasn’t too worried until he kept saying it was ‘very unusual’ to not see it! He also said I had a small cyst on my right ovary which was normal but obviously I’ve gone away thinking I’m completely broken 😂

Pretty sure I’m out this month anyway, due af in two days, still bfn and cramps and a bit of spotting over the last couple of days - roll on the next one!

@Mollydog88 you're not out yet. I have my fingers crossed for you but if she does show then it's onwards and upwards for next month. I got another v.v.faint bfp this morning but I know in my heart its a chemical and will be bfn tomorrow. Just want AF to start now so we can start trying again.

@mamabear05 wishing you all the luck in the world - really hope your instincts are wrong and it’s just taking its time to show.

I can’t quite get my head around how all-consuming ttc is - I feel like the rest of my life’s on hold until it happens!

Sorry @mamabear05. Same thing happened to me this month - it's horrid. But try not to worry - they are so common. It's a good thing you can get pg easily - all it needs now is a stickier bean.

I'm on day 3 of AF now - it's a lot heavier than usual and more painful but glad it's here and hoping my cycle carries on as normal so we can try next month.

@Celebelly thank you and im sorry to hear this has happened to you too. I'm just starting to panic a little that this means there might be something wrong with me since it's happened straight after an early miscarriage last month too. I never had any problems with the children I have now though I was a lot younger then. Interestingly enough my excema has kicked off big time since I got my first bfp this time around so I'm going to my GP this week and going to plead with him to do blood tests to check my thyroid etc incase it's an autoimmune thing. He's already advised me to take baby aspirin from bfp since I miscarried last month which I have done but it doesn't seem to be making much difference!

Fingers crossed it's still just all early days but I highly doubt it x

@Mollydog88 thank you and yes I agree! I'm trying to be mature and not let it consume me but it's soooo hard!

So I've started spotting 😢😢😢 Nevermind, was nice for the 3 exciting days it lasted. At least it was quicker this time. 4 weeks 4 days.

Has anyone had back to back early losses and still gone onto succeed without medical help? Xx

@mamabear05 oh I’m so so sorry lovely 🙁. I really wish you all the luck in the world on your next cycle lovely ! Big hugs xxxxxxxxx

It's not much help but I had 8 miscarriages before I had my son 2 after and one after my daughter all unexplained and all just as hearbreaking as the first and I'm not having much luck ttc no3 thanks to the bloody depo injection sending you virtual hugs @mamabear05 x

Thank you @JLamb89 and @ontono3 for your kind words. I am very lucky as I already having living children however my husband and I very much hoped for one last baby to complete our family. I had no problems conceiving my others so I'm now panicking about secondary infertility etc. It's hard to find people to talk to about the emotions you go through when struggling to conceive when you already have living children too as it seems almost selfish and ungrateful to show any pain and boy there are people out there who most definitely know how to make one feel guilty about it too.

Thank you to everyone for your support on this thread. It would be nice to keep it going.

Congratulations again to everyone who's had their bfps and to those still waiting I wish you all the very best of luck x

You can message me anytime you want @mamabear05 ino how hard it is and you have no reason to feel selfish at all people can't make you feel guilty for hurting everyone had the right to grieve they don't no your struggle or your journey I was you all the luck in the world

Thank you @ontono3 it is very much appreciated. Hopefully next month will be our month and yours!!! X

Let's hope so babe dust to all the crazy thing is I was 100% sure I didn't want anymore children then I had a pregnancy scare welst on the injection and I was sad when I wasn't so now I've done a complete 360 and it's all systems go for baby no3 😂

Haha nature has a funny way of showing you the way eh! I'm off to the GP this week hoping to sweet talk her for thyroid and progesterone tests! There HAS to be a reason why this is happening all of a sudden. Once I could put down to chance but twice after healthy pregnancies years before I'm struggling to accept. At least I know I can get pregnant...all systems go for next cycle lol x
