@Missgoldilocks I have to say the only noticeable difference the last 2 days is that I'm REALLY hungry. But don't fancy anything 😂 today I've already polished off some weetabix, 2 slices of toast, a big prawn cocktail salad and half of DS' pizza that he didn't finish from his lunch 😬😂😂 all within the last 4 hours hahaha, probs not preggo though just being a greedy bitch 😂

Thanks ladies x
I don’t really know what to think x I hope at least one will survive 🤞

Fredthespider · 24/05/2020 15:54

@Katie1109 did they do an internal scan?

Katie1109 · 24/05/2020 15:56

@Fredthespider yes it was internal hun x

Fredthespider · 24/05/2020 16:20

@Katie1109 :( I was hoping I could reassure you that they aren't as accurate at measuring abdominally. I really do hope that the bigger twin at least is going to be ok, if the little one catches up then that would be incredible (it's not surprising to not see a heartbeat on an embryo that small so it's still possible). You could be slightly off on your dates, certainly with twins your HcG will have been higher so you'd have got a positive earlier than normal.

I was told mine was 5-6 weeks at my scan, I was certain I was 6+4 ish at a minimum (physically impossible for it to be 5 weeks!) then at the 12 week I was 100% right that I was 6+4 for the first scan.

Catherinettc · 24/05/2020 17:13

@Katie1109

Don't lose heart. Im sure its usual for one twin to be smaller than the other. Especially if in 2 separate sacs. That means 2 eggs so could have been released on different days. Might just take a while for the wee one to catch up.

As said before hcg levels would be higher with twins so maybe ur a bit less than the dates u thought.

Will be keeping everything crossed for u regardless ❤

Quiffy · 24/05/2020 17:43

@Katie1109 I'm so sorry this is going to be a worrying time, a lady in my group is having twins and they were measuring small compared to dates but all okay now. Just try to take care of yourself and rest lots, I have everything crossed for you ❤️

Missgoldilocks · 25/05/2020 00:03

@katie1109 I have all my fingers crossed for you that you're measuring smaller and the little one will catch up, my friend recently went and had a scan and there was no heartbeat, she had to wait a week they scanned her again and there was a heartbeat there is hope so hang on in there stay positive as much as you can and take care of yourself xx

Missgoldilocks · 25/05/2020 00:04

@Mumofboys17 I'm the same, I'm just hungry because I'm hungover 😂 getting really bad cramps now, I seem to always get bad cramps a week before, even though I know that I still hope it's something else lol x

LV1987 · 25/05/2020 10:02

Oh @Katie1109 I'm so sorry your scan didn't give you the reassurance that you needed. It must be so difficult for you right now. All I can do is send you some big virtual hugs, and hope like the other ladies have said that both babies catch up. My brother and his partner conceived twins 9 years ago, with two separate sacs like you have. The smaller twin was measuring about 10 days behind, so I think it is normal for that to be the case. I really hope it works out for you xxx

CD11 here today, and still stark white OPKs. We're going to loosely give SMEP a try this month. I say loosely because it's hard to keep up the every other day momentum when you don't ovulate until day twenty something!

Missgoldilocks · 25/05/2020 10:26

Please stop my 2ww madness😩 I got cramps last night, pretty sure I always get cramps a week before af but then this morning my rhr was 60 when it never normally goes above 57 after ovulation and I'm now going crazy. Help help help it's nothing I'm not pregnant obviously 🙁 I don't want to get hopeful to be shot down I can't stand it xx

LV1987 · 25/05/2020 14:10

Mate, I don't think I can help... I'm symptom spotting before I've even ovulated 😂😂
Lovely weather outside though, why don't you nap in the sun? I forget about everything when I nap 😴☀️

Missgoldilocks · 25/05/2020 19:20

@LV1987 well I have tons of work on at the mo so that's kind of helping lol

Catherinettc · 25/05/2020 20:06

I think im around 6dpo

Today I had a type of ewcm but it was yellowish. Is this normal?

Bad backache and wee bit of nausea but not enough to be a symptom if I'm honest

LV1987 · 26/05/2020 07:53

@Missgoldilocks, remind me what you do for work?

Mumofboys17 · 26/05/2020 07:55

@Catherinettc yellowish discharge isn't uncommon, definitely isn't for me anyway so I'd say normal. Unless it's out of the ordinary for you x

@Missgoldilocks how are you?? Any positive symptoms?? My AF is due in 3 days and absolutely nothing going on as per 😭 hate being so pessimistic but my positivity is wearing SO thin xx

OP posts:
Mumofboys17 · 26/05/2020 07:56

@LV1987 if it makes you feel any better I also symptom spot before O day and even during AF sometimes 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 such is life!!

Danni2019 · 26/05/2020 09:08

@Mumofboys17 have you not been tempted to test early? X

Mumofboys17 · 26/05/2020 09:11

@Danni2019 Yeah!! Absolutely!! I'm only 9dpo though, plus been crampy on and off since yesterday so just feel like it would be unnecessary heartache now 🙁 my LP is 12 days so feel like AF is getting ready to make an appearance now xx

OP posts:
Missgoldilocks · 26/05/2020 09:46

@LV1987 me and my OH have our own property business, so things right now have been right up in the air but it's also a good opportunity.

@Mumofboys17 no symptoms whatsoever, I'm literally close to crying 🙄I git excited yesterday I got a 60rhr which is high fo rme and I told myself if its high today ill definitely get excited but it went back down to 58 ffs. We dtd so much bloody broke my back and I'm obvi not pregnant. The only thing that's kind of helping me is the fact that I can't go to the bloody doctor anyway so I have to wait it out! 😩😭 I think we are the last 2 left from the original gang 🥴 here's to hoping we get some good news soon 🤞 I hate this but though because for the next 5 days I'm just going to be upset x

Danni2019 · 26/05/2020 10:26

@Missgoldilocks and @mumofboys17 I know how hard it is to stay positive my positivity goes up and down like a rollercoaster. Now in my fertile week I'm like well this month could be the one and then a week in to the TWW I'm so down thinking it is never going to happen for me. Your not out until AF arrives and of course I have everything crossed for you as we all deserve some good news and it seems a while since there was any on this thread. ❤️

LV1987 · 26/05/2020 14:18

@missgoldilocks ooh I am property top, so super busy at the moment but also constantly worried that it will fall off the edge of a cliff. I'm a Leasehold Enfranchisement lawyer, so do lease extensions for flat owners etc... As my clients aren't moving house, the work has carried on, but there are so many people that are finding themselves in pretty uncertain financial positions that I don't think it can keep going. I would be devastated I love my job, and it took me so long to get to where I am... Scary times.

In the nicest possible way, I hope that you and @Mumofboys17 as the last of the original crew both sling your hook soon 😘

Mrslane2019 · 26/05/2020 14:23

Hi guys
Hope you guys are ok ?
now get back in swing of thing it all got confusing so had 2 opks positive on 2 different 5 day apart so last one was positive on day 20 of 28/30 cycle will this now make af later or stay the same
Thanks

Mumofboys17 · 26/05/2020 14:27

@Danni2019 bless you, thank you lovely x just don't want to lose my mind just yet!! Trying to concentrate on anything other than testing! X

@LV1987 hahaha I have always loved your no-nonsense approach and support 😂😘 your job sounds so cool! I've only ever worked in the NHS really so I don't know any different 😂

@Missgoldilocks I know 🙁 last cycle I was so devastated and I really don't want to be there again, so just trying to be level headed and wait it out this time. I'd love to POAS but I cba with the stress of staring and squinting at a BFN for hours 😂😩 plus it's still early... there's still time!! For both of us!! 🤞🏻❤️

Hello ladies x I see few of you are in your TWW x I’m keeping everything crossed for every single one of you x 😘 thank you for all the words of support x
I have spoken to my midwife, she is not worried about the bigger twin with heart beat, as far as she’s concerned it is a viable pregnancy and not to worry about measurements at this stage because they can be very inaccurate x she will try and organise NHS scan for me by the end of next week x as for the smaller twin she said it’s more and more common for early scans to show twin pregnancies and by the time NHS scans kick in at around 12 weeks there is only one baby x which I am fine with, nature has got its own ways x so I’m feeling a bit better after talking to her so roll on next scan so we can see what’s going on x
