Hi @Gemlou81 sorry I don't have any advice but you are more than welcome here 🥰

@Lmac2018 before my BFP (only ever had one) I had no idea if I was or not. It's perfectly possible to not know - in my opinion anyway.

@FarmerWantsABaby haha what's he like! That's true though you'll get out of that one if all goes to plan! I'm sure you feel better now he knows

Ahh... well at least there is a chance.. I can't wait to be a mummy, sounds weird but it's just how I am, I've grown up with 8 siblings but still hasn't stopped me from wanting them. I have been a little over dramatic with my mood swings but I'm kinda always like that, I get mad easy

Pretty sure I have bloody line eyes 🙄 doing my head in, looks like a sold negative, such a idiot for even testing as I'm only 7dpo ..
Don't we all do this tho

@Gemlou81 welcome to the group, I would consider your partner learning meditation and relaxation techniques for day to day life. If things get really bad he can access CBT for free via the GP or most NHS services you can self refer via the website. It's called IAPT.

@hollywhooo @Lmac2018 @ welcome both, lovely supportive and knowledge women here ☺️

@whatsthecraic91 is it the TV scan you're having? If so you're fine to go ahead when bleeding, they said to me as long as I was comfy with it. It's the HSG you're not allowed to be bleeding.

@FarmerWantsABaby congrats on that strong line, from everything you've said it sounds like you have a BFP and it's one of those cases of bleeding early on (I know a woman it happened to whereby she had 'periods' for the first trimester). I can understand your fear and the Dr you spoke sounded bloody awful! I think unless you're in severe pain and it's an emergency case then all you can do is try to sit tight until you phone the EPU tomorrow.

@timswifey how are you today lovely? Are you going to work next week or taking some time off?

Looks like my body is trying to gear up for O for a third time now!!! I've never had this before and can only put it down to the HSG really stressing me out (which makes sense as I was crying and shaking and a right old mess 😆)

@Lmac2018 this was me yesterday morning I had my phone torch looking at it from all angles 😂😂

@Kiza yea it will be TV don't know if I'm getting it for sure this app but wouldn't want to be not allowed it if AF shows up! The HSG sounded bloody awful so no doubt that's the reason!!

@timswifey hope you're okay 

@FarmerWantsABaby how are you this morning

@Kiza I'm scared of getting my hopes up. DH and I are just in a weird stage now where we are happy but don't really want to be just incase! Day 9 "AF" and still some light bleeding.
Took a clear blue digital today as I'm curious about dates etc. Apparently I'm 2-3 weeks.
Have you tried pre-seed or conceive plus Kiza?

@whatsthecraic91 feeling scared to be honest! Didn't see your message before I sent my previous post.

@FarmerWantsABaby it's understandable, there's a few of us on here that have had mc and multiple mcs so that feeling of excitement can sometimes be hard to hang on to. It's really tough to try and allow yourself to be happy and also try to focus on other areas of your life too. Hope the phone all tomorrow to the EPU goes well for you

Yes thanks we've been trying for 18 months have tried everything on the market! I turn 40 this year so will be a referral for IVF if no joy soon and all our tests come back fine.

@whatsthecraic91 you could give them a ring beforehand just to confirm but I can't understand them saying no if other PCT says it's fine to be bleeding. Have you had one before? They're not painful at all and pretty straightforward

@Kiza no I've never had one before, if I'm bleeding and he wants to do it I'll just have it done I'm sure they've seen it all before 🙈

Absolutely no sign of AF, guessing I am 10DPO, my left boob is extremely sore this morning which is strange for me!

Thanks @Kiza and @whatsthecraic91 I'm feeling a little better today. Still getting pains but nothing like how it was before. I am crying a lot though.

I'm freelance and don't have a lot of work on at the moment. At first I was thankful because everyone says the first trimester is the hardest, but now I'm glad as it gives me time and space to start recovering from this. I do teach from home and have been very open with my students and said I'm going through a miscarriage and am not able to teach this week and they have been amazing and very understanding. I will lose income of course but my physical, mental and emotional health needs to come first right now.

@1990shopefulftm aww congratulations 😊

@FarmerWantsABaby oh dear, so strange that you got a feeling to do a test though. It's just like you knew! Hopefully the dr will give some answers. You do hear of people getting pregnant tho and bleeding and not realising as they think it's just af! Is your af usually as long?

@whatsthecraic91 it's in a few weeks so not long to wait 👏🏻👏🏻 even if af is here, your better just getting it done and it's a test out the way 😊 your right I'm sure they will have seen a lot more than that 🤣🤣

@Gemlou81 welcome, have you had tests etc done at the hospital? And @Kiza advice sounds fab for it reducing his stress etc!

@timswifey I'm sorry you're going through this. I'm sort of sitting on the fence atm too not knowing what's happening.
I'm a teacher with no permanent job (there's no work where I live it's terrible) so I understand how you feel about loss of income. However, despite it being hard to accept you're 100% right, your well-being is more important than any wage right now xxx

@Kiza hopefully if you end up going down IVF route it goes well for you, I'm 27 and been TTC for 2 years (on and off, we took a few breaks as we were getting stressed), I'm hoping and praying this isn't a loss and with me bleeding for 9 days I've convinced myself that this is ectopic. As you say, it's hard to hold on to excitement!

@Lottiepink without getting into it (don't want to sound like I'm crazy lol), I always get strange bunches and coincidences in my life. Apparently my great great gran was a "witch" 😂 I do angel cards for people and they're usually spot on. And I can tell when someone is pregnant. It's very strange. And now I sound cuckoo lol but yea I was sorting things out in the bathroom yesterday morning, on day 8 of AF and I just took a huge hunch about taking a PT, laughed at myself but did it anyways. AF usually lasts 5-6 days. Never goes over a week. I'm just spotting today, if anything.

Afternoon ladies!! Today woke up with the worst headache and feeling a bit sick. Don't know what to think, don't know if it's just a little bug or what but this headache kills.

{@1990shopefulftm brilliant. I was hoping we'd get some graduates this time and that is a brilliant line. No mistaking it for anything other than a bfp!!! So happy for you!!!

I did another one step today and got another faint line with no colour, so could've been an indent. Up to four of them now, all with no colour. Did a frer a few days ago which was negative. So I'm going to try waiting until a couple days after I'm due before testing again.

@Tocaden, thank you.

@Lmac2018 could be a good sign. Your immune system does lower if your body is trying to implant an egg. However, it could be normal illness. The two week wait really gets on your nerves, doesn't it. It's the ultimate test of patience.

Got my BFP this morning 16dpo and 2 days late for af!

Congratulations @Eatsleepbakerepeat 🥰

@Lmac2018 I was very ill all last week and got a positive yesterday. No idea how this will turn out right enough. But I think I'll keep testing every day to check just incase the bleeding has been an early MC and a negative eventually comes up.
@Eatsleepbakerepeat congrats!

@Eatsleepbakerepeat wow congratulations! How long have you been trying? What symptoms have you got?

Pretty excited now, headache has kinda subsided. Still feeling a bit bummed up but not too bad. My cat won't leave me alone, she has her own kittens to look after but she's following me around all the time so I'm currently cat sitting 😂

Hi ladies! 6dpo today, no symptoms obviously at the moment but I have nearly survived a week of the tww haha!

@whatsthecraic91 are you 10dpo? Any symptoms atm or do you have little hope this month because of the dates confusion? I had a TV scan whilst bleeding (miscarriage) and it was a bit messy...but fine haha! They just had me sit on a paper pad.

@Kiza ooh I really hope this is your ovulation!!

@Gemlou81 welcome lovely - have you seen a GP yet or just taking it as it comes?

@lottiepink sorry that AF arrived :(

@farmerwantsababy glad that you can share the confusion with your DH now xx

@eatsleepbakerepeat congrats:D

@Lmac2018 🤞 how many dpo are you?

@ToCaden fingers crossed it's a bfp 🤞🤞

@Anny27 well according to my new ovulation date I am 10DPO today! My left boob is killing me all day and I don't usually get sore boobs so I really don't know! Why is my right one okay? My left is my big one so unsure if that makes a difference 🤣 a tad crampy this afternoon and I just wiped before I jumped in the bath here and I have a tiny bit of pink CM. Feel like I could sleep for a week too but that's usually what I'm like before AF 😴 DP told me to get out of my mood too 😨 ooo 6DPO you'll be able to go crazy this week too then 😂😂 aww okay, I'm hoping she stays away to after Wednesday, I might not even get the scan that day but want to be prepared just incase!
