I hope @littlebee1990 doesn't mind me starting a new thread as our old one was full...

Congratulations to @SK2970 who had just posted a positive test!

(Point me in the right direction if I've missed a new thread)

@1992EM I think you have to go private for an early scan unless there is some medical reason for it (bleeding, IVF etc). But could be wrong! If/when I get a bfp I plan to book one around 9/10 weeks and find one that allows partners just in case dp is still not allowed in the NHS one. I am a planner though... I’ve been researching hospitals already.

Dinosaurus86 · 22/07/2020 22:43

Also picking out maternity stuff I want and now my adverts are entirely Seraphine. Not that I can afford much of it!

1992EM · 22/07/2020 23:06

@fran2020 fingers crossed for you. Thanks that is good to know.

@dinosaurus86 I think partners are now allowed in to appointments. Fingers crossed. I love looking at Pinterest and nurseries etc . Never thought to research hospitals though. An early scan sounds good to give peace of mind.

How is everyone this morning?

11dpo here and feeling a bit disheartened. I slept badly and woke feeling hot, crampy and with a terrible headache. I have online meetings most of the day Sad. CM also has a slight pinkish tinge. Am hoping it is a sign of implantation but I suspect it’s more likely to be the beginnings of AF.

1992EM · 23/07/2020 09:09

@Dinosaurus86 Fingers crossed it is implantation . It can happen up until 12dpo.
I am 8dpo today and when I got up earlier felt nauseous, so went back to sleep and feeling better now. AF due a week today so only half way through the tww. Not had any spotting, only slight cramps so not sure if implantation has happened . Will just have to wait until AF I suppose to see.

Dinosaurus86 · 23/07/2020 09:38

Thanks @1992EM - it’s such a long wait!

DoctorBambino · 23/07/2020 09:51

I'm feeling similar to you today @Dinosaurus86 I have a banging headache and a bit crampy which are usual symptoms for me before AF 😖

Held back from testing this morning as only 10dpo. Going to test tomorrow morning as my parents are coming on Saturday and want to know whether I can drown my sorrows in wine!!

Fingers crossed for all of us over the next few days 🤞

Kalecat · 23/07/2020 17:06

@Dinosaurus86 sorry to hear you're not feeling great, hopefully it's not AF.
I'm 8dpo today - FINALLY got a pretty good sleep last night. Between yesterday and today, I've been having loads of creamy but very watery CM. like so much that I had to go check it wasnt AF coming early lol. Aren't we supposed to dry up after ov?

Dinosaurus86 · 23/07/2020 18:04

Thanks all and sorry you’re not feeling well either @DoctorBambino. Sounds like good signs @1992EM and @Kalecat!

Gar! I feel so crampy right now. Really quite painful! Things had seemed relatively positive until today!

Fran2020 · 23/07/2020 18:09

@Dinosaurus86 awww sorry you're feeling crampy!

@DoctorBambino sorry you've got a headache and cramps too, hope it's not AF coming either.

@Kalecat that's good you got a good nights sleep! It make things so much harder when you don't sleep well!

Things were all quite positive for me up to today too... I have been spotting a bit today. I always spot before AF and trying to decide if this is different or if my brain is playing tricks on me! 😩 Think I will take an IC in the morning whatever is happening.

Dinosaurus86 · 23/07/2020 18:16

@Fran2020 let’s hope all of our spotting and cramping today is pregnancy related rather than AF. It seems like there’s a lot of crossover...

1992EM · 23/07/2020 18:39

@dinosaurus86 and @doctorbamino Sorry you are both feeling do rubbish today. Have everything crossed for you both 💕
@kalecat Glad you got a good night's sleep, finally 😴
@Fran2020 sorry to hear you are spotting, I have everything crossed that it is pregnancy related and not AF 💕

I am so tired today , to the point I have slept for 2 hours this afternoon and still feel exhausted. I normally feel like this if my B12 is low but it is definitely not that as only had the jag 2 weeks ago. Also had to order sports bras as my boobs are so sensitive and hurt in my normal bras. 🙈. Too early to be pregnancy so hoping it is implantation trying to take place.

Kalecat · 23/07/2020 18:44

@1992EM I love reading your symptoms, because we are the same dpo 😂.
I'm so proud of myself for not testing yet 🤣. Last cycle at 8dpo I got 2 false positives on different tests, so I definitely learned my lesson! However, I think I will definitely be testing on Sunday/11dpo 🙈

1992EM · 23/07/2020 19:19

@kalecat I am the same . Especially when they are similar 👍. I looked at the first response website and earliest I can test is Saturday . Going to try and hold of until Thursday though 🙈

Gymbelle · 23/07/2020 21:20

@Dinosaurus86 @doctorbamino fingers crossed for you.

After my spotting on 6/7 DPO I had nothing but starter spotting again now, I don’t usually spot before AF but I’m CD 28 so think it’s more likely to be AF. On the plus side I have my HSG test next week, has anyone else had one? I have heard people get pregnant more easily after?

Nottherealslimshady · 23/07/2020 21:47

Sorry to hear everyone's feeling a it crappy today. Hope it gets better. No sign of AF but I did have slightly orangey coloured discharge earlier, no other usual symptoms though. Have been feeling mardy but thats DHs fault 😂

Fran2020 · 23/07/2020 21:53

@Dinosaurus86 @1992EM Thank you! Really hope everyone's cramping and spotting relates to pregnancy too 🤞🏼 There is too much cross over!

1992EM · 23/07/2020 22:46

@gymbelle hopefully that is just old blood and a sign of pregnancy. fingers crossed . 💕
@fran2020 there is too much crossover which makes it much harder. Especially when it gets your hopes up .
@nottherealslimshady oh I can so related. Have been so grumpy but that is due to the oh 🤣

Kalecat · 24/07/2020 03:05

I'm having lots of cramping in my abdomen, especially in the left area which is the ovary I know I ovulated from. I just became overwhelmed with a "I think I'm pregnant" feeling, which I've never had before. Hopefully I'm not wrong... still don't have a ton of symptoms. can't wait to test.

1992EM · 24/07/2020 05:52

@kalecat have everything crossed for you. I am sure I ovulated from my left side too. That is where I am getting the twinges so assume that is the case. 9dpo, nearly at double figures 🤣 I am now wide awake, having been up 3 times to pee since 11pm 🙈.

Dinosaurus86 · 24/07/2020 08:41

Morning! Is anyone testing today?

I slept much better last night and feel brighter generally today, although not about my chances of pregnancy! Still cramping a little but not as bad as yesterday. And more pinkish cm this morning. This is typically a sign of af for me - not usually until a bit later but perhaps it’ll be early.

DoctorBambino · 24/07/2020 08:44

BFN for me and AF on the way 😭 devastated but trying to be realistic and remind myself that it just takes time and will happen when its meant to happen. Good luck to everyone else xx

Fran2020 · 24/07/2020 08:44

Morning. So I am 99% sure AF has started but I tested anyway and got a BFN on an IC and the CBFM. 😭 Cycle 14 here we come! Feeling awful today too: headache, nausea and cramps as well as emotional. 😢 I have rang the doctors to get the ball rolling on the next steps there and waiting for a call back.

DoctorBambino · 24/07/2020 08:49

Sorry to hear that @Fran2020, its such a shitter 😭 I hope the doctors can move quickly for you 🙏

1992EM · 24/07/2020 08:59

@dinosaurus86 Glad you are feeling better. I still have everything crossed it is implantation and not AF 💕
@doctorbambino So sorry that AF is on her way and your BFN. Take care and make sure to treat yourself 💕
@Fran2020 So sorry AF has arrived . Hopefully the doctors phone back soon and you feel a bit better. The doctor situation definitely seems to have improved. Take care and look after yourself 😔💕
