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

[Frazzlerock]

We can do this ladies.

We can take on anything

Ah great thanks @tigsyboo x

I just synced my ovusense this morning expecting a nice steady rise and got that 🤷‍♀️

Yay @Betty that's great! Well done to your DS. You must feel fab today.

I think a little dip is usual, wouldn't worry too much about it. Glad you had a rise this morning though.

I suppose the app will tell me in the coming days whether my temps indicate successful Ov. I think its algorithm uses the 3 temps following the rise and then confirms Ov if they are elevated enough. So if there is something awry I suppose it just won't confirm...

@ratherbeshowjumping how are you feeling?

@Pegase hope you’re doing ok

@edidxb fantastic news re the scan! So lovely to hear the heartbeat ❤️

@BettySwoll0cks great news re sleep, my boys both end up in bed with me still, I actually snuck out at 1am last night and took one of their beds so I got a few hours without being squashed to death!

I appear to have a line this morning 🤷🏻‍♀️ total headfuck and I’m not sure if I trust it or not yet!

Ugh I wish we had an edit button! I took the test out as it has a plastic casing which made a decent photo difficult

How many dpo @DartmoorDoughnut?

12dpo @BettySwoll0cks

@Dartmoor yay, tentative congrats... the line is definitely more pronounced today, although I can see it better on the actual test that on the one where you've taken it apart. Keep testing!
I'm still feeling a bit snotty... sore boobs and cramps which are usual for this time of the month, but my crampy legs which I get every single month without fail have vanished. I'm going to hold out until Saturday to test I think, that would put me at 10dpo. It's so unlikely to happen this month so I know I'm massively clutching at straws. How are you feeling in yourself?

Looking positive @Dartmoor... fx that lines gets darker as the days progress.
Fab news re the scan @edidxb. I have another doc appointment in the calendar (11th) but no hope of a scan (unless private) any time soon.

My sister’s car was broken into (on her driveway) on the weekend (took the dashcam I got her for Xmas) so I’ve been a bit preoccupied with that. It did give me chance to congratulate her re her pregnancy. What I hadn’t expected was two pics of baby scans by text. Really could have done without her rubbing it in. Thought she would have been more thoughtful of my feelings... should have known better though!

Definitely something there @DartmoorDoughnut, how long is your LP usually? I never get a decent line until the day AF is due. FRER maybe a day or 2 before but there's absolutely no point in testing early with an IC, I find. Fx!!

@Buggles1 that sucks that her car was broken into, but I'm sorry she upset you with the scans. That's a bit thoughtless really

@ratherbeshowjumping sorry you’re feeling awful, hope it’s the start of something rather than just a stinking cold! I feel totally fine, exhausted but 4yr old had a bad night and slept on my head so that’s to be expected!

@Buggles1 sorry about your Sis being insensitive

@BettySwoll0cks normally 28 day cycle (although was 26 last month) so due on the 8th I think

I would love to believe that line but I don’t, we’ll see what the next few days bring but I’m expecting AF

@Buggles that's awful, your poor sister. People are so horrid I am sorry about your sister though, that is really insensitive how many weeks are you now? Hopefully it won't be long until you can send some pics back x

@Dartmoor thank you. I'm keeping everything crossed for you that it is a sticky line. Have you got any more frer's left?

Hi Ladies, sorry for being quiet recently. I am still struggling with everything, in fact I think it’s fair to say that all of us who have not managed to conceive are struggling.
I think I am going to take myself away from here for a bit. I wish all of you so much luck and hopefully @Dartmoordoughnut that line will turn into a definite positive.

Please don't feel you have to leave @rose xxx

@Rose68 I'm sorry you feel so low :(
I'm sure it will happen for you. I don't know what else to say. Sending you love xx

@Betty that's great about your DS! Sorry I don't know anything about temps though.

@Buggles1 that is smoothing her car got broken into but she was a bit insensitive with the pix. I'd be really upset.

@Rose68 I feel exactly the same. I'm really struggling. Keeping fx you get your BFP very soon x

Seconding Tigsy and Rather... is such a shame both Frazzle and now Rose feel the need to step away. I still feel like this pregnancy isn’t going to last and having the bfp is pretty meaningless. I really would be struggling without this group to come back and forth to. Cause of that and our shared trials and tribulations it felt important to keep everyone onboard and all spirits as high as can be - whatever our stage within the ttc cycle.
Absolutely respect everyone’s decisions though and I really hope the outcome is a positive one for everyone - whatever pathway our journey takes us on!

What Buggles, Tigsy and Rather have said 💐 I feel like I’m about to come on and having had shadowy lines it’s going to make it even more ucky to handle

@Buggles1 you absolutely summed that up!
I don't trust my positive test.... I won't trust an early scan... and I don't know where I would be without the support here. X

My sister had her 20 week scan today. I got another picture. I also had to share her heartbreak at hearing there are 5 shadows on her baby girls heart that are soft markers for Down’s syndrome. She has to go back for a further scan with a consultant and perhaps have amniocentesis after that. I can’t believe how cruel this world can be.

Rose and InDreamland so sorry that you're struggling, I don't know what to say but it's shit. I really hope you both get your BFPs soon

Oh no Buggles, I hope everything is OK for your sister. What a rubbish few days she's had. Did she have the nuchal test at 12 weeks and all looked fine? In Malaysia its pretty standard to get the NIPT done at 10 weeks to look for chromosome abnormalities so if we get that far we'll do that.

I feel the same as you about this BFP. I'm trying to stay positive anyway because I don't want to spend the next 5 weeks miserable only for it to end badly again. Even if I try and not get excited or attached I'll still be devastated if it ends in MC again so may as well try and enjoy it while it lasts.

I did another FRER yesterday and the line is definitely darker. Going to wait till the weekend and do a CB digital to confirm (last pregnancy I got 2-3 weeks at 12 dpo i.e. today but given how the line was still fairly light on the FRER yesterday I think my HCG must be lower this time).

Knew I shouldn’t have believed that line. AF rocked up this morning. TTC sucks, one more try then DH has the snip booked in.

Oh and don’t buy Lloyd’s tests, this was this morning’s that I did, talk about false hope!

Oh Dartmoor, those tests looked to have such portential. How unfair. Guess it’s best to stick to FRER or CB. Fx for next month.

Yes Kinsters, she had the NIPT at the 12 wk scan and all looked clear and fine. Now at 20 wks they’ve picked up these ‘soft indicators’ in the scan. Apparently the consultant will have access to a more powerful ultrasound so they can investigate better. She should hear off them today for an appointment.
I read this article just last week so I’m still hopeful hat everything will be ok for her... www.bbc.co.uk/news/stories-47150878
