@SunnyFlover @Kiza @lozzlepop @MIW01 @Anny27

@whatsthecraic91 that's good to know. I must give them a call tomorrow and see if they can tell me anything. Did you just ring reception?
@MIW01 regarding the whole meat thing, I don't eat a lot of it unfortunately 😭 I just really try to bring more meat into my diet!
I'm currently taking omega 3, co-q10 and folic acid supplements and have been for a year now.

@whatsthecraic91 decided to test today. I've been peeing every three hours. Sometimes less so it's not as concentrated.

Got what might be a faint line on a one step, but equally well might be a evap.

Guess I'll test again in a day or so. See what happens.

That picture is terrible looking at it, but there is a clear faint line in person. But not clear enough to see if it has any colour.

@ToCaden there's something there but can't say if there's any colour to it. I've got the same tests, it's tricky to see with them sometimes, maybe retest today and you could try a different brand if you still have doubts.

@FarmerWantsABaby google the number for RFC Belfast that's where I rang. Let us know how you get on!

@ToCaden I'm really sorry but I don't see anything. Maybe try again in the morning and try not to pee during the night. I always pee in the night so tonight I will not drink a couple of hours before bed so I can get a good concentration for testing in the morning! I'll be using the one step test too. I have clearblues locked away only to use if I get a line on a cheapy

@whatsthecraic91 no problem. I used my best phone camera and I agree the picture looks like nothing. In person there's definitely a line but it could just be an evap or a strong indent.

Did do another this morning after managing to hold for four hours and there seemed to be something in the same position as the previous one, but that was fainter so might've just been line eyes.

I'll try your trick of not drinking a couple hours before bedtime. I didn't sleep at all last night so should hopefully sleep at least six or more hours straight tonight and be able to get a better idea.

I was peeing every one to three hours all yesterday and yesterday night which wouldn't help the tests.

Good luck with your testing tomorrow. Hoping you get a line.

Morning:D 4dpo today. I hate the first week of the tww as theres nothing to do haha. Cant symptom spot as implantation wouldnt have happened and also canr proactively do anything e.g. DTD before ovulation feels like you are doing something vs just waiting

@Tocaden I cant see anything sorry lovely, but I know how hard it is to pick up faint lines on camera! Maybe try a first response test!

@whatsthecraic91 so exciting that you are testing tomorrow :D any more symptoms?

@Lottiepink did AF arrive? :(

@Lozzlepop that makes sense, might be a great distraction for you to put all your energy into the wedding anyway! :D

@MIW01 well hopefully march comes along quickly, your op goes well and than you can start ttc properly again :D

@orangeloo how are you lovely?

@ToCaden hopefully if that's the start of something it will show up for you better in the morning! 🤞🏼

@Anny27 I am so excited too as my hopes are building 😓 higher than usual temps the past 2 days and I have woke up the last 3/4 mornings sweating 😅 also the shooting pains in my boobs have got a bit more frequent. But I do feel a bit AF like down below 🤔 will see what the morning brings! I hate the first week of the TWW too, time seems to stand still! Have you anything nice planned to get the time in?

@ToCaden sorry I can't see anything but if you can see a faint line on both tests that sounds promising! Fingers crossed it gets darker as the days go by.
@whatsthecraic91 good luck for tomorrow, some interesting symptoms you got there so hopefully they're for a BFP rather than AF

@Anny27 hahaha you make it sound like you enjoy the symptom spotting? 😆

This is frustrating, I think my body has tried to gear up for O twice but it's not happened. I normally get a strong peak line after I get a 40-50 high mark and I've never O this late before! The HSG must've put so much stress on my body it's not able to O 😢

Hi all,

@1990shopefulftm Hahaha I like your style, now if only the same applies for biccies 😂

@MIW01 oh definitely, I think we have a pretty varied diet - we do eat fish and chicken I am just not personally a fan of red meat (unless its a really good steak but I cant cook steak to save my life)

@Kiza OMG Clamps?!?! I would be gone haha! I am the same, has to be a pretty intense pain for me to reach for the pills- I did have to take cocodymol during the last miscarriage as the pain was so bad so hoping I will be able to get through- I usually find the speculum the worst part!

@rathernotshare DF and I are 35 and 36 and are in a similar place to @MIW01 and her DF out of my group of friends I am the last to be properly settled down and they are starting to get round to seconds kids. Less of DFs friends have kids but starting to now.

@whatsthecraic91 its just rubbish with condoms huh 😂hopefully in a few cycles once i gauge if things will be regular we can relax a little after FW. For me the red meat thing is just something I dont really enjoy the taste of.

@ToCaden I cant see anything but know how crappy phone cameras can be at picking them up, how many DPO are you?

@Anny27 have you got lots of distractions for the TWW? I can assign you some wedding tasks if you like 🤣

AF is being an absolute BITCH, cant wait to get home and relax- pass me the chocolate! DF has his SA next week and i have a pelvic transabodminal scan the following week. Still seems like an age to wait for the blood clotting test though 😬@ValidUser did you have to wait 12 weeks for your test for antiphopsholipid syndrome?

@whatsthecraic91 good luck with testing!
I rang today, thanks for your help. I'm looking at 4 months. I know it's actually pretty decent but the wait will kill me 😔
Was very sick last night. Have been ill all week with v & d. Throwing up every time I sip water. Annoying because people are throwing pregnancy jokes about and I'm genuinely very ill.
Had a tough week in work. Wish I was well enough for some wine and chocolate tonight!

@Kiza those strips drove me crazy!

Also I know I shouldn't have went to work. But I don't get paid for sick days 😭 the beauty of my line of work 😭

@Lozzlepop oh no, hope you feel better soon, get your jammies on, a hot water bottle, blanket and a truck load of chocolate and wine 🍷

@FarmerWantsABaby 4 months that's brilliant I would have been happy with that! How long have you been on the list? Hopefully they have gave you the worst case scenario and it will end up being quicker! What hospital are you going to? Oh no that sounds horrible hope you feel better soon. I HATE when people come out with shit like that, you take a day off work sick and people are like oh have you something to tell us! Yea I'll tell you something alright 🖕🏼🤛🏼

Good evening ladies,

I've had a bad day. I should be 9+2 but started bleeding a couple of days ago so was sent in for an early scan.

Turns out there is an amniotic sac but nothing visible inside, so it never really got off the ground. Laying low for a while to come to terms with this as me and hubby have been so excited to follow its progress since my BFP on 18th Jan. There were so many things we have been excited about. I've met my midwife, have been reading all the books, making plans etc. and now I just feel numb.

Heartbroken, this is (or was) my first pregnancy.

What's the news round here?

@timswifey awwh lovely I am so sorry :( a similar thing happened to me in November so please feel free to PM me if you would like to chat 💗 I was just wondering a few days ago how you were getting on xxx

I have set up a new thread because this one only has a few messages remaining

Hello, really sorry I joined and then went AWOL and now have come back with a question.... but how long did people wait for a period after stopping the pill? I stopped at the end of my pack, had a period and nothing since (5 weeks), is this normal?!
