I've created us all another thread as we filled the last one!

@mommybear05 I had no idea how long I'd feed for. I never thought I'm definitely going to bf, once he was born though, all I wanted was to get bf right. Every time he woke in the hospital i buzzed for the midwives to check we had got the latch right.

He's already asked more today than he did yesterday and has been difficult to distract!

@Mommybear05 yes if I'm lucky enough to get pg I'll just have to play it by ear, I didn't have any real symptoms apart from being tired this time but next time may be completely different. Also if gyms are all closed it will just be long walks and pregnancy yoga at home anyway I should think xx

@Hayleylou89 sorry to hear that... Another BFN for me too, no sign of af apart from crampy last night, day 29 today.

@Beehixs hello and welcome to the forum. Sorry for your loss. I mc the middle of March at nine weeks. It’s horrible. Good that your hcg has dropped now and you won’t need any further treatment. Regarding your opk I believe you will need the test line to be bolder than the control line for it to be positive. Just because there are two lines doesn’t mean it’s positive as they’re the rules on a pregnancy test of you know what I mean. I also had unprotected sex as soon as the bleeding stopped and feel desperate to try again! Some people wait but ultimately it’s up to you. You could ovulate and get pregnant before your period so if that’s what you want to try then go for it! I had my af 31 days post mc and am now waiting for my fertile window again. I didn’t have any luck with the opks as they never showed positive the month after mc for me. Because my hubby is home til the middle of May I’m not going to bother with the opks this month as we have a very active sex life anyway. We will see! I hope you see your bfp soon! X

@Hayleylou89 @francis05 sorry about your bfns girls. I’m thinking of you. And whatever happens we got this! Xx

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 08:57

@SmileyT I know I know still that teeny bit of hope!

@francis05 Mine little pains were almost like a stitch in my left side but its stopped now, normally AF is sort of dull ache but right across my lower tummy & not one sided ..we will see I just hope if i having caught this month that my cycles arnt getting longer ...they already seem so long being 38 days.

@renna ur so patient id 💯 be testing by now with cheapies but i dont see it like if i get a bfn ill be gutted i think it could just be too early but if i got a bfp its one less day wondering xxx

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:06

Omg @Donnat89 thats def BFP XXX

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:07

@Hayleylou89 I hope so I'm just holding it until tomorrow see if AF shows before I start getting excited I soo hope it's right and not some cruel trick ! X

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:10

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:14

@Hayleylou89 14 DPO AF is due tomorrow , I've had faint lines before but muchh fainter than this so realistically this is not faint for me .

I hope it's right we're Been trying for a year after a MC at 14 weeks last March.

So I think I'm may just be in shock

Xxxx

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:17

@Donnat89 aww uv had a long journey and deserve this so much! Congrats lovely! Xx test again tomorrow im pretty sure them lines will be blazing by then! Iv been doing cheapies and BFN all week (im 11dpo) AF due thursday at the latest (usually) if my cycles arnt messed up after my loss that is.

Is this the first time uv tested this cycle or have u been getting bfn so far? Xx

francis05 · 21/04/2020 09:18

@Donnat89 congrats!! So happy one of us have got there BfP!! Hope more of us can follow you! X

Mommybear05 · 21/04/2020 09:19

@Donnat89 I can definitely see it! Wow! Congratulations! Test again tomorrow to see if it’s any darker but I’m sure that’s a bfp!! Yay! 🌈😀

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:20

@Hayleylou89 I tested at 10 DPO I think using IC and FRER

FRER was BFN and I think I had faint line on IC , IC however was BFN this morning and FRER has the line so I'm not sure

I have heard mixed reviews on ICS someone I know in another thread had got her BFP but ICS Still showing BFN even though she's now confirmed and BFP using clear blue .

Xxxx

JenThommo · 21/04/2020 09:21

Hello ladies - I'm new to mumsnet and forums in general. I've been ttc for 8 months - had a chemical pregnancy in December Sad and I'm once again in the 2ww! I've been having intermittent mild cramps and lower back aches for quite a few days now (period due in approx 3/4 days) which feel the same as the ones in December. I terrified that it's my mind playing tricks or that it's not and I'll have another chemical! Such a rollercoaster. I need to chat to people who understand the heartache of the 2ww!!

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:22

Thank you ladies I so hope it's not a trick ! Or a faulty one or something like that .

The more I look at it the darker it seems , I'm
Gonna test again tomorrow that's if AF does not arrive as she's due then

I'm trying not to get too excited but I do hope it's true !

Xxx

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:33

@Donnat89 oh that give me some hope that ICs havnt show bfp for people who are pg ... im not using an frer until i know iv poss missed AF just dnt want to waste one and last month i took an frer and AF showed like an hour later so dont want the same to happen again- my cycle was a day longer last month so got all excited and then that happened 🙄 x d

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:36

@JenThommo welcome!! Sorry about ur CP! I would suggest testing with an frer if u thought u could be pg but then with CP previously i understand u may find it hard testing early but a frer would pick it up if ur less than 6 days from AF xxx

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:40

@Hayleylou89 yes it reassured me too , I wasn't going to test using FRER today either but it seems like my AF symptoms have disappeared today so thought why not .

I will test again tomorrow if no sign of AF and hopefully if I am pregnant line should hopefully be darker

I really hope you get your BFP soon

Xxx

francis05 · 21/04/2020 09:49

@Donnat89 @Hayleylou89 ahh this has made me want to test with a frer but flushed my pee away now!! 😲

Hayleylou89 · 21/04/2020 09:53

Thanks @Donnat89 ... what symptoms have you had so far? Xx

@francis05 I know me too i flush as soon as i see the bfn so i cant be tempted to test again like a maniac when its clearly a bfn 🙈😂 x

Donnat89 · 21/04/2020 09:54

@francis05 oh no lol !! I just hope it's not a trick and it is right ! I'm trying not to get my hopes up to much xx

Renna · 21/04/2020 10:05

Morning ladies xx
@Mommybear05 ummm not doing much to pass the time and it is going slow and I am driving myself made ... should I test .. shouldnt I test ... googling symptoms... never been this bad before at over thinking everything!! Feel like I want to switch off and just wait but I cant 😓 xx I have lots of work to get on with but just feel so distracted

@Hayleylou89 haha I dont feel.patient ... as above I'm being a crazy lady googling stuff last couple of days and looking up 10dpo BFP .. or 11 dpo BFP .. and when to test. Before MC I'd just wait for AF and whilst I would symptom spot I didnt feel this crazy. I nearly caved and tested this morning but I was up at like 4am for a wee so thought my fmu may not be decent enough . Wish I could think like you but I know if I see a BFN I'll just think that's it... kinda feel like I have more hope for longer if I dont test 🤣🤣 or I'll have more to Google if it's a very faint line and could be evap or not ... haha drive myself more mad . I can't see me waiting for AF to test tbf as every day I'm getting closer to just thinking screw it I'll do it so I'm sure I will test next couple days 🙄🙊 sorry you got BFN but still no sign of af Is brill and I deffo still have hope for you xxxx

@Donnat89 yesss wow congratulations hun xxx deffo a line there and I'm sure itll be darker for you tomorrow so you feel more assured!! So pleased for you xx so so deserved xxx 🌈💙 xx

francis05 · 21/04/2020 10:14

I'm not feeling as positive today, I think I'm atleast 14dpo if not more (and that's even I have ovulated) so would be seeing a positive test by now.
Praying that I don't have the same problems as when I came off the pill in September, had a over 100 day cycle but was getting pms symptoms throughout which was frustrating!!
