Thank you @Lozzlepop 💕 I've had a night of extreme pain and no sleep but I think I'm starting to come out the other side now.

Anny27 · 22/02/2020 10:59

Awwh that's rubbish @whatsthecraic91 :(
Theres still a small chances you still DTD twice at start of fertile window but as you day, next time continue going for a few days longer 🤞🤞

@whatsthecraic91 I honestly feel like I have a cold with a tiny bit of bloating.

FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 12:11

Ladies, I don't know why but I felt an urge to POAS today, and this is what I got...

I honestly don't know how I'm feeling. I'm crying but I don't want to get my hopes up as I am currently on day 6 of my period???
Also had d21 progesterone last month and was told I'm not ovulating?
I thought I had a bug all week as I've been throwing up etc...
I know I should ring a dr but I'm sitting here on the bathroom floor shaking.
I'm an emotional wreck right now.....

I'm assuming it's a chemical....

Anny27 · 22/02/2020 12:28

@FarmerWantsABaby if it was a chemical the tests usually go negative after any bleeding.... so I think it might be a bfp but just with some early pregnancy bleeding.

I would make a GP appointment and they can advise on next steps.

Congratulations if it is bfp :D

@Anny27 AF was very heavy a few days ago. Very crampy and leaked through my tampon (sorry TMI just trying to give an idea).
I'm so confused. Rang out of hours and expecting a call back within the next hour.
I honestly don't know why I thought about POAS whilst on my AF. It was as if someone was telling me inside my head.
Rang my BFF to let her know, she's calling up to see me. DH is farming and is like an utter pishmire today so I'll speak to him later. I'm an awful wife aren't I 😬

timswifey · 22/02/2020 14:49

@Anny27 I think I must have, there were some large pieces that passed a few hours ago and I've definitely turned a corner since then. My husband, mum and friends have all been incredibly caring and supportive so I am very thankful for that.

@FarmerWantsABaby wow! Definitely report back what the Doctor says. Our bodies like to confuse us sometimes.

Keeping everything crossed for you x

whatsthecraic91 · 22/02/2020 17:20

@FarmerWantsABaby wow that's a very strong positive you have there! Let us know what the doctor says! I hope it's good news 🤞🏼 Oh I know all about farmers myself - nothing will take them away from their work 🙄

Lottiepink · 22/02/2020 17:44

Hi everyone,

Sorry been a crazy few days!

Thanks @anny27 for the new thread!

Af did arrive on Thursday, but never mind, least we have our app soon with the fertility clinic.

@FarmerWantsABaby wow what a line, fingers crossed for you, hope you get the answer next week 🤞🏻your friend having that feeling too, how strange, but they obviously knew ha!

@timswifey so sorry that's so sad, sending my love!

@Lmac2018 @hollywhooo @Eatsleepbakerepeat welcome 😊

@1990shopefulftm congratulations to you too, that's defo positive! You done anymore tests?

1990shopefulftm · 22/02/2020 17:51

@Lottiepink yes I've taken 3 cheapies and then did a clearblue digital this afternoon that came up as 2-3 weeks.

Lmac2018 · 22/02/2020 18:24

I'm not feeling anything at all which is making me feel that I have conceived this month. Only 7dpo but just dont feel like I am...

Eatsleepbakerepeat · 22/02/2020 18:29

@FarmerWantsABaby 🤞 that looks like such a strong bfp hopefully the drs come back with good news!!!

In that awkward wait af due yesterday normally clockwork no signs of it but had some weird tugging behind my belly button which I've never had and some pretty intense stomach twinges earlier in the week also so so tired today said if af doesnt arrive by tomorrow going to poas but did one 1 day before af due and bfn so not feeling awfully positive and a bit nervous about doing it too does that sound mad?

FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 18:45

Hi ladies
Thanks for all your replies. Still haven't told DH. He will get his hopes up so much and I don't want to disappoint him incase this isn't going to work out 😬
DR rang me within the hour. She was nice but didn't really provide me with any useful information. Told me it was strange and that she can't speak for the reliability of the test. I took a second and it was another strong BFP. She told me to ring GP on Monday for a chat as this didn't classify as an emergency due to the fact that I'm not in any pain. She also told me I should t be testing so much and questioned why I POAS today as I'm on my period. I left the phone call feeling very vexed and lost if I'm honest.
AF is still here. Bled lightly today. I'm so confused.

Anny27 · 22/02/2020 19:07

@FarmerWantsABaby when speaking to your next doctor k wouldnt say period I would say "ihave positive test but I am bleeding" because for all you know it could have been positive before your "period"

Theh may want to scan to check for ectopic/ pregnancy progression.

But bleeding in early pregnancy is more common than you think

Xx

OP posts:
FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 19:13

@Anny27 I never thought of that thank you 🙈
The dr questioned why I took a test on D8 of my AF and I felt so stupid 😫 I just told her because I had a hunch due to the fact I've been very sick all week. She seemed confused about the whole thing. As am I 😫 I don't know if it's worth waiting until Monday to ring GP or go to local A&E tomorrow? Aghhhhh 😓

Anny27 · 22/02/2020 19:25

@farmerwantsababy that's not cool for her to dismiss you like that! From experience, a&e wont do anything unless you are bleeding too much. The EPU (early pregnancy unit) wont serve you untill 6 weeks usually so I imagine you are 5 weeks now (based on your last period not your current bleed)

So the GP will be able to refer you to the EPU hopefully xx

OP posts:
whatsthecraic91 · 22/02/2020 19:43

@FarmerWantsABaby the doctor you spoke to sounds like a twat. Hopefully the bleeding stops and you get somewhere on Monday with your own GP.

@Lottiepink sorry about AF, when is your appointment?

FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 19:50

Thanks so much ladies. I have a CB digital test that gives the weeks and I'm tempted to take one tomorrow to feed my curiosity. My D21 progesterone was on 31st Jan and the results were low. I've no idea if it would flag up pregnancy or not.
Why are the services so shit!! Literally no one professional to turn to for some advice apart from a useless out of hours dr who washed her hands off me! 😐
Still haven't had the heart to tell DH yet.

whatsthecraic91 · 22/02/2020 20:00

@FarmerWantsABaby I personally couldn't keep it from my DP, why don't you tell him then you have some real life support? I know you're trying to protect him incase it doesn't work out but why should you go through it alone?

FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 20:04

@whatsthecraic91 I've spent most of the day with my best friend (she's basically a sister) as DH was farming all day with his dad. He's only in the door now currently showering. He's a bigger worrier than me and he'll not sleep a wink tonight if I tell him. He does deserve to know. I feel like I'm going to let him down 😬 you're right though I do need to tell him 😓

whatsthecraic91 · 22/02/2020 20:20

@FarmerWantsABaby you're not letting him down! You'll hardly sleep tonight either so be in it together! For all you know it's a viable pregnancy & everything could work out perfect 😊 try and be positive 🤞🏼

FarmerWantsABaby · 22/02/2020 20:57

I told him. He was very confused 😂 he didn't know what to say. He then worries over the fact that I'll not be able to help with the lambing if things work out 😂 I told him that no matter the outcome, at least we know that I have definitely ovulated! Which was a concern last month!!

Gemlou81 · 22/02/2020 21:03

Hi. Am I ok to join? Have been TTC for years. Am 38, have PCOS and now my hubby is having 'performance anxiety' that stems.from him putting too much pressure on himself. How can we ease this? So far he's been silly and turned to getting sedenofil (blood pressure medication) over the internet. We just seem doomed to not have any children. 😥

Lmac2018 · 22/02/2020 21:39

Any of you ladies didn't feel any symptoms but actually ended with BFPs...
