The July 19ers - The rollercoaster continues, scream if you wanna go faster

[Frazzlerock]

We can do this ladies.

We can take on anything

Hope it's just nothing @tigsyboo

Do you have a scan booked at 6 weeks?

Temp dropped today to under 36.5...you're not supposed to be able to tell so early from your chart I don't think but tbh I'm pretty sure now that this isn't my month. I really hope that my luteal phase is long again this cycle so it pushes my next o date back late enough that DH might be back from his work trip.

How worrying Tigsy. I was told that as long as the blood isn't red and there are no clots or pain then its probably OK. With my bleeding last time I had light brown spotting like you described and my Dr said it was just my cervix. When I started to have bleeding related to the miscarriage it was totally different (small clots and painful - I could feel my cervix cramping).

I don't think you can tell unfortunately. I only had v v light barely there spotting with my mmc and bright red bleeding with my successful pregnancy. Keeping everything crossed for you Tigsy

I'm going to need temping 101 after AF returns - have no idea how to do it!

From what I can gather most people have some sort o& bleeding during pregnancy @tigsyboo I thought my period had started with DS, so hopefully it's nothing at all. How are you this morning?

Oh tigsy I am so so sorry. If there is a bleed though I think it will show up on a scan? So even if its just the sac etc as you'd expect they'd be able to see if there's a bleed in your uterus or your cervix.

Thanks ladies
Absolutely nothing else *touches everything wood she can find)
Went to bed in white knickers so it clear if an discharge of colour and nothing. Trying to keep finger scrossed.

Can't call gp for referral till 6 weeks so hopefully a sca will be around 7 weeks (I'm 6 weeks next Thursday)

Time goes so slowly during the first trimester eh @tigsyboo?

@Rose68 the coQ10 was 'prescribed' by the private consultant. We will get another appointment in a few weeks though so will ask about ubiquinol. I'm still not comfortable doing any iui but will consider it still.

@Kinsters he has finally gone for his second sample, should get results in 3 weeks - DNA fragmentation takes longer. Not cheap but I'm willing to pay it. One less handbag for me. I just want answers, there has to be a reason for 5 years of infertility then followed by 2 losses in quick succession.

@tigsyboo fx there isn't anymore and it was just baby getting more comfortable and dislodging a little old blood.

I had more CB OPKs delivered this morning. Now off to meet a friend for afternoon tea and eat my body weight in cake.

@Frazzlerock ..... are you ok?
You haven't been on for a while x

Yeah it's been quite quiet on here. I guess this thread is a bit different from some of the others because we won't get new people joining.

I did a test today at 8dpo and got the squintiest of squinters. It did come up in the time frame but it's impossible to tell whether there's any colour. I don't totally trust these test because they gave me an evap last cycle but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't hopeful about this!

Morning.
@kinsters - that sounds promising. I couldn't really see the line myself but it is 610 and I'm not sure I am fully awake. let's hope it's the start of a proper line!
@Indreamland - how was the cake?
@tigsy - I am pleased that things seems to have settled down and there has been no more brown.
@frazzlerock - how was acupuncture? How often are you going to have it?

It is quiet on here. It's a tricky one as I have spent the last 2 weeks or so feeling so unwell I can barely lift my head to type anything and I don't want to wax lyrical about my pregnancy symptoms. I'm also massively cautious so I don't really want to talk about them much in general. I am just kind of head down, try and get through each week and hope that nothing happens and that everything is OK.

It is back to work today for me today, and man I am finding work tough at the moment.

Yeah it's super faint edidxb! I can only just see it myself and I know where I'm looking 😂

Sorry to hear you've been feeling rough. It's totally understandable to not want to talk about it too much and just try and get through the first trimester. Hope your DH is being supportive?

@Kinsters
I really wouldn't trust the cheapies..... this was a cheapie and a frer on the same day for me.....
I didn't get a line in a cheapie until 4 days later!!
FX tho!!!!! Xx

@edidxb how far are you now hun? Have you got an early scan on the cards? X

@Kinsters fingers crossed, hope you can get a good line on a FRER soon!

I’m not feeling pregnant, sounds daft I know but I have always known in the past so I don’t hold out much hope for this cycle, doesn’t stop me POAS mind you! 9dpo today. If I’m not I don’t think there is much hope for next cycle as I think ovulation would be at the start of the week/mid week and getting DH to DTD then will be bloody impossible

How is everyone doing? @tigsyboo hope everything is quiet

@DartmoorDoughnut touch wood nothing else.... but I'm hideously constipated and scared to strain as that's how bleeding started last time
Had lactulose for 2 days and nothing yet.... a Costa black coffee always helped in my non pg state so seeing as I've been on decaf everything since pre-bfp I'm sending DH out to get me one to go with breakfast.

I'm worried about @Frazzle
She said she would slip off quietly if DH pulled the plug and she's not been on here since weds. X

Morning all, hope everyone's doing ok. Super busy here but all ok. Am planning for a pot luck dinner next Fri, then Easter Sunday lunch for 14 plus 4 kids then DS's 3rd bday party so I have quite a lot to organise. And DH is working this wknd so I'm solo parenting.

Am generally trying to be more relaxed about ttc tho. I am still charting with OvuSense but then last night I had most of a bottle of Prosecco which has sent my temp whizzing up at CD15, just about exactly when I'd normally expect a temp rise for Ov, so I can't trust my chart at all. Whoops. Anyway the important bit is that we DTD for the next few night and just see what happens.

Fx for a result in the next few days @Kinsters 😀

Morning Ladies!
@Kinsters why don’t you try a frer? There’s a good chance it would show as positive by now.
@Indreamland I love going out for afternoon tea!
@edidxb that is such good news that you have been feeling so unwell! I know that sounds really weird, but I think you know what I mean.
@Dartmoordoughnut hope isn’t lost yet, I have had bfp’s when I have had absolutely no clue at 10dpo.

Afternoon tea is my favourite thing to do for mother’s day, but no chance of that this year as we have DS2’s party the day before Mother’s Day, so we will be doing homework on Mother’s Day as well as swimming lessons.
We dropped our house price late on Friday and had someone come round yesterday lunchtime, so I had a manic day cleaning and tidying followed by homework. My life seems to revolve around homework!

@tigsyboo hope the lactulose kicks in soon and everything gets moving!

@Rose68 I don’t tend to get +ves until the day before AF at the earliest but I’m feeling desperate to know! I had a shadowy line this morning so everything crossed it turns into a proper line ASAP! I am NOT looking forward to the homework, maths is a total foreign language now, no idea how they do long division!

Wow that's a big difference Tigsy! I know what you mean about the worry going to the loo. I was so scared to poo when I first got my BFP cause I didn't want to push the embryo out!

Rose I only have six FRERs to last me until Christmas so I'm allowing myself 1 per cycle where we've dtd at the right time. Gonna give it a couple of days so my one for this cycle isn't wasted! Fx on the house!

DH agrees he can see the lines on the two ics I did this morning but thinks its probably because my pee was really concentrated and so the tests a bit yellow (sorry tmi!) and that's making it look like there's a line or causing some kind of evap line. Idk how accurate his assessment is.

Also hoping you're OK Frazzle and I hope that if you're taking a break it's for your own sake rather than because you think you don't have anything positive to contribute. You absolutely do! You're so sweet and welcoming and have supported everyone so much these past few months. If posting here helps you then please carry on.

@Dartmoordoughnut I’m not sure if I see something or not. I have found with frers you can sometimes see a shadow where the line should be. Maybe try again tomorrow? x

Can anyone see the shadowy line or am I going line crazy again

I can definitely see a shadow on the FRER DartmoorDoughnut so it must look even darker in person. Fx it's stronger in a couple of days!

I may have line eyes though... Spent so long staring at my own tests!
