Hello! I am 4dpo and already starting to look for preggo signs.. i know i know!..
This cycle I had again tender breasts during/after ovulation, but today at 4dpo I noticed that they are not that “full” anymore (I confess it left me a bit worried!).
Okp positive on 31st Oct and ovulation on 1st Nov. Temperature raised on 2nd Nov and kept high (had a small drop but today even higher than before). All good (I think??) but the breasts don’t seem tender anymore (Although progesterone levels seems good). It is the first month I am checking temperature. We are trying to conceive since July/August. September had a chemical pregnancy.
Whomever is out there in the same boat - please share your symptoms! Also, if anyone had experience with losing breast symptoms after ovulation.. please share your experience! Thanks!

@rhirhibumblebee love to you to!
Hopefully you had some good news yesterday? Yes I had a scan to confirm
@ElsaTam thank you, I'm starting to come to terms with it now I think

I am currently 6dpo and in such stress/problems at work.. they plotted the situation that I should quit. Not being well there for a long time with a terrorising boss.. I am relieved in a way, but they way they are doing is disgusting. So in fact I have not been paying too much attention to symptoms etc. Let's see how it goes, but I am feeling very much for you both (@rhirhibumblebee let us know how is it).

@NewUsername0123 @ElsaTam Thank you! I have to scan in two hours time. I thought I was coping really well but today the bleeding has turned into a horror movie and I'm in pain 😓. I'm not sure whether they will continue with an internal scan with this much blood 😓. Plus no one to look after my 23 month old so my partner may have to wait outside the scan room with him (children aren't allowed) . Not looking forward to it!

@ElsaTam Fingers crossed!! Sorry to hear about work. How long until you leave ? Xx

@rhirhibumblebee OMG! I am crossing my fingers for you 🤞🏻🍀 I am so wishing all to be ok with the baby. Lots if strength and live for you all ❤️
(I quit on Friday and they told me I should just leave Monday/Tuesday.. I feel free, I am relieved)

Scan confirmed a miscarriage ! 😓 Because a pregnancy test still showed positive at the hospital, they want to repeat bloods on Thursday to make sure levels go down. I have read that tests can be positive for a while after though. I'm feeling ok, just disappointed! Another woman at the EPU was (I over heard) also 6-7 weeks and she was crying her eyes out. But I just didn't feel the urge to cry there. Maybe it will catch me later in the bath in private 😓.

Lots of love to you all, and for a positive year 💕💕xxx

@rhirhibumblebee my dear, lots of love and strength for you ❤️❤️❤️ I feel you. The only thing I can say is (but doesn't make you feel any better): it is better now than when the pregnancy is well advanced, or when the baby is born... the attachment grows with time as well. But it is so so so hard in any of the cases and also this depends for each person. For example imagine if that lady is trying for endless years.. I also cannot imagine that. Each case is each case, each pain is for the person alone to feel with the knowledge they have. I never lost a pregnancy with 6/7 weeks, but for me was already hard to see a fade line back in September and then see it disappearing... but then I remembered my Oliver and I thought it's better this way, it's because the baby wouldn't be ok here. it's so hard, so many expectations and visions of future just fading... I am really sorry for your loss. Embrace it and accept it and your rainbow will arrive soon ❤️❤️❤️ We are together on this!

I am 7dpo... I have ZERO symptoms. No swollen breasts, no bloating.. nothing.
Feeling very empty and sad due to have ended the job so suddenly. Reminds me the time when i was unemployed and just lost my baby boy when he was 3months. I was so lost and so empty. Feeling the same now and reviving those sad moments I went through. I pray to God/to the Universe to send me my healthy rainbow baby, but I know the right time and the right thing happens when it has to happen ❤️
I am very sad for the moms who are going through difficult times at the moment and shared here. I wish us all beautiful moments in the near future with healthy babies and lots of love and peace ❤️

Had cramps today.. not really trying to spot any symptoms. Because I feel the stress at work. Once again stress at work most likely didn't help and I have missed the ovulation day itself.. but i never felt this sharp cramps in my lower belly. From my pregnancies before didn't pay attention to that.. do you think this is a positive sign? Nothing else i felt this month (strangely, because it has been a norm I think after ovulation, to feel swolen breasts and very bloated) - I am confused, but not thinking too much on it

@ElsaTam im sorry to hear about trouble in work that sound like a lot of stress . But if you had to put up with shity boss or crap atmosphere in work is not worth it !!!! we are old to be putting up with that crap ! its a job and we spend more of our time in work why then feel bad and be surranded by toxic people . you deserve moreeeeeee!!! You did right !! and about your cramps ..after ovulation (still not sure which day it was ) i had on and off cramps and bloated for 3 days as hell than went away ..some day fuller breasts but nothing major really. lets wait and see !! of course i wish you the best !!

Im going to have a scan tomorow in the private clinic !

Aggie53 · 06/12/2019 09:45

@Aggie53 you made me laugh! Yes, old enough to not accept certain things! That's for sure! I'm free now and relaxed to be able to just get pregnant or try to go through ivf.. I know some people want me back, but now I want to focus on myself and family. Afternoon/Evening of 7dpo was when I had those sharp cramps, I don't remember those before, but never paid too much attention. On that night we BD :) and when i wiped pinkish something was there, but so little. Not sure what it means, not putting too much thoughts on it. I also had a dip in the temperature on that day in the morning of 7dpo. Don't want to put too much thoughts on this because I am really not convinced and guess I am trying to protect myself for the BFN's.. it's too frustrating. I'm 9dpo today but see? No major symptoms, breasts are not that full as other months, neither I have been bloated.. So it's hard to believe that something is on.
Not sure when or if I will test...
I hope you are alright? Hope no major problems! Thank you so much for you message!

@ElsaTam my little advice is try stop yourself from testing early leave it until you due period !! i know is hard but you will be better off trust me !! you can prepare yourself better for whatever might be !!

Im 5,5 weeks now so need to see if im still pregnant as i dont experience any symptoms ..and just want confrimation !! i ve known for 12 days its killing me because i havnt told my partner yet he is coming back this sunday late i think xxim nervous

Ladies.. here I am. Decided to check by 10dpo with a very sensitive test, knowing if it would be negative I was basically out, because the signs of implantation was 7dpo.
I got a very faint line. Not sure if in the pic is visible, but in reality I have no doubts it's there. In September the live did not darken, so I know this doesn't mean much by 10dpo. Let's see how it goes, I have hopes of course, but also afraid... 🤞🏻❤️

Hi thank you @NewUsername0123 and @ElsaTam I'm doing okay! All tests are still positive so not out my system yet. I have an appointment again at emergency gynae on Monday to assess! As you can see from my pic, HCG is still very much present!! 😓. Hoping it fades really soon so we can try again!

Looks promising @ElsaTam ! Fingers crossed it continues to darken for you!! Look forward to your update 🤞🥰.
