@MrsK21 okie dokie, thanks I will order both I think. Xx

@MichT4 Please dont panic, that’s a very positive test and as @SmileyT said the only way to judge from that test would be to do the same one in another couple of days. You’ve got some positive signs, the pains are normal as well during early pregnancy could just be your uterus expanding. Keep reading those commandments 😊💕

@Tink20058 Your comment about your Amazon history made me laugh 😂 I’m pretty embarrassed about mine too honestly the amount of pregnancy tests and opks ordered over the last few months 🤣

@DBTJ I hope all your results come back clear. Sorry that you are having a rough time 😔 xx

@KatB259 Sorry for your loss ❤️ you are in the right place here and your feelings are definitely normal xxx

Northernsoul90 · 09/07/2020 08:26

Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 @VP91x hopefully only a few days of the annoying flashy and you will get your static xx

MichT4 · 09/07/2020 09:04

@VP91x @Northernsoul90 thank you both. I am trying to just distract myself but to be honest it feels like a weight is sitting on top of my pelvis, so it’s tricky to think of anything else 😂

I think I’ll do that @VP91x, think it’s my only option. I might wait to test on Saturday now as I think anything will show as positive tomorrow. Not sure, as I also can’t sleep so maybe doing it tomorrow will help. Who knows 🙄

I really hope you aren’t flashed at for too long this month. Stupid smug bastard

@northernsoul90 I’m reading the commandments and remembering all these things could be fine. To be honest, seeing @Tink20058’s cheapie at 13 weeks has almost made me ignore that. Just annoying now I have these pains on the same day. Typical.

How are you both today? xx

VP91x · 09/07/2020 09:09

@MichT4 is it just the heaviness or an actual pain? If it is better for you to do it tomorrow then go for it then 🥰 yeah definitely booking the scan is the only way to get certainty. Lines etc fluctuate.

Thank you @Northernsoul90 Me too!! I'll be happy with four 😂xx

Morning all, congratulations to those with BFP lovely news! ♥️

Went for medical management yesterday at the hospital took it at around 12:30. By the time I’d got home I started bleeding... and then it stopped about 5 minutes later and I’ve had nothing since 😩. Why can’t anything be straightforward? Thinking I’ll have to ring the hospital today and see what they say 🙄

Diorissimo1985 · 09/07/2020 09:16

@VP91x are you doing cheapie opks as well as the CB digital? I got a flashy smiley yesterday on cd9 which I thought was early but my cheapie opk was very negative! Confused about reliability of the CB digis...

1990EM · 09/07/2020 09:22

@MichT4 agree with the others, for a cheapie that is a good strong line! I did a cheapie at 6 weeks pregnant and it was not as strong as that line you got. Panicked me a bit too but I waited a week and did a digital and was reassured when the right number of weeks showed. For the cheapies any line is positive!! Also made me doubt the usefulness of the opks in the same pack lol

1990EM · 09/07/2020 09:23

@DBTJ sorry you're going through this extra stress! Prayers that everything comes back clear 💓

KatB259 · 09/07/2020 09:25

@SmileyT yes I have my flo app on my phone, so I'll be marking down what happens day to day and seeing what happens. I've not done the ovulation sticks etc. Before, just been going by my app, I work like clock work so should be easy to follow.
I'm ovulating today actually, so maybe a possibility but don't want to get hopes up or get too excited. Gonna hate my period turning up from now on haha. 😊

KatB259 · 09/07/2020 09:30

You ladies all sound like you've gone through so much, but been so strong, your all doing amazing. Having these forums defintely are the best thing 😘😘

Rb486 · 09/07/2020 09:32

I’m on CD ten of clear blue and still getting the round empty circle. Think maybe it will be a bit later because my cycle was never the standard 28 days since coming off the pill so I’ll just keep doing it once a morning and see what happens! Hoping to see some sort of flashing smiley soon. Lol! Xx

MichT4 · 09/07/2020 09:32

@VP91x it’s more like a dull heaviness but it’s uncomfy. Making me feel sick.

Love that you’ve settled on a number you are happy with 😂

@1990EM think I need to ignore that test then. Thank you. How are you getting on? xx

VP91x · 09/07/2020 09:39

@Sophj19 god, sorry that the pill medical management might not have worked. Definitely ring them as soon as you can and get them to see you again xx

@Diorissimo1985 did you start testing on the right day? But the CB digi are dual hormone so it will start flashing when it detects a rise in estrogen. Whereas the OPKs will only detect LH surge so when it goes static that is when your OPKs should darken also from what I understand xx

@Rb486 you've had ten days of blank circles??

@MichT4 that heaviness is definitely normal I would say xxx

OP posts:
Northernsoul90 · 09/07/2020 09:58

@MichT4 I’m good today thank you going to do another amazon order 😂 and get supplements etc. Weather over here is terrible so not up to much really today apart from boring jobs like remortgaging the house 😴.

@Sophj19 Yes I would give them a ring and see what they advise. I know nothing ever seems straightforward, I hope you are okay. Is someone at home with you? Hopefully the bleeding will start again soon so that you can begin to recover xx

@KatB259 wishing you luck for this cycle! X

SmileyT · 09/07/2020 10:00

@Northernsoul90 I'm a mortgage advisor and I swear everyone is remortgaging at the moment 😂 hope it's quite straight forward for you x

@MichT4 just remember that dull heaviness is a good sign of pregnancy in general... the whole w

Diorissimo1985 · 09/07/2020 10:02

@VP91x yep I started testing cd7 which was day after my period finished. Might do two cheapies a day and just do one digi per day 🤷🏻‍♀️
Hope you get fewer flashies this month!!

SmileyT · 09/07/2020 10:08

@MichT4 oops accidentally pressed it getting off the tube 🙈 but yeah I'd say that it's normal and I've definitely got that heavy feeling . Also have you read about the hook theory? After a certain point in pregnancy the type of hcg you produce changes and can also flood tests x

@KatB259 ooh nearly in the TWW good luck this month x

@Sophj19 I'm so sorry you are having to go back to them, sending you so many virtual hugs x

@VP91x @Jazper I'm strangely calm I feel like I've been wanting this BFP for so long (not compared to some but feels like it) so I'm just going to enjoy it even if it doesn't last. My due date would be the day exactly one year on from the date my last MC was confirmed so feel like my little bean is looking over me ☺️ xx

So who is testing this weekend? So excited for more BFPs xx

SmileyT · 09/07/2020 10:08

@VP91x and also yay to flashing 👌🏾 you hungover today? xx

IWM20 · 09/07/2020 10:12

@Sophj19 I'm so sorry about your loss and that medical management may not be working. I just can't believe how much women go through and it's not really spoken about. I too am going through my 2nd MC at the moment and the bleeding doesn't seem to be progressing like my last MC. I've got an appointment on Monday at the EPU and I'm thinking I may need some help with this one. Why is this so hard? At least if its going to go it could just hurry up and actually go! 🙄😂

@MichT4 your line looks good to me ☺️. I did a CB 11 DPO on the 17th and got 1-2, then I did another 5 days later and got 2-3, then I waited another 5 days and still got 2-3, then i waited another 2 days and got 2-3 again so mine didn't progress to 3+ which looking back was probably a sign but I read so many stories of women that also didn't get 3+ until quite late on and the jump is big between 2-3 and 3+ in hormone levels so I tried not to worry to much xxx

AC2020 · 09/07/2020 10:23

Congratulations to everyone with BFP!! Thrilled for you all ❤️

Sophj19 · 09/07/2020 10:42

@VP91x @Northernsoul90 I’ve rang them- they’ve told me to wait until tomorrow and they will ring me and we will go from there. My husband is with me as he’s working from home luckily. Next week is the last week of school before summer so was hoping to go in and see the children before they go off. Doubt that will happen now 😩🙄

@SmileyT thank you 😊

@IWM20 I agree with you, it’s not spoken about enough, this is my 3rd miscarriage and like you my others happened naturally ( in between the week wait if the nhs scans) so I didn’t have to even think about treatment. I think I’ll give the tablets another go and if they don’t work the only other option is surgery and I really wanted to avoid that. Do you know what treatment you are looking to have? ♥️ Xx

VP91x · 09/07/2020 10:48

@SmileyT no luckily, prosecco normally gives me a headache next day but I had some water/paracetamol before bed so that seems to have nipped it in the bud. Yes, definitely enjoy this time. Bet your google time is going to sky rocket even more now when you get looking for little bits here and there. How lovely your dates will coincide, this was the right time❤️

Ps. Going to have to pick your brains at some point for mortgage advice cause I have NO idea 😂

@Diorissimo1985 yes definitely do more than one cheapie, I'm doing my digi in the morning then cheapies 2/3 times a day. If it goes dark at any point the next few days I'll dip another digi in 🤞

@IWM20 I hope things progress for you over the weekend or the EPU is able to help you move things along. It is such a shitty experience. Sending you a big hug xx

@SmileyT 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 wow!!!!! Absolutely excellent news!!!!!!
Over the moon for you! So lovely to see the picture of you holding that test. And such a strong line! Massive congratulations for you and your OH. You are SO supportive to everyone on this thread! You deserve this so much. I’m over the moon for you!! Here’s to a healthy happy nine months and your beautiful March baby xxxxxxxx

MichT4 · 09/07/2020 11:59

@SmileyT no I haven’t heard of that, I’ll add it to my reading list. How would you describe the heaviness?

@IWM20 how are you feeling today?

@VP91x all these things that could be fine but could also mean something - you think they’d have made them easily distinguishable. As I said before, I kind of just want to know either way now. I do hope all is fine, but it’s been a real coaster of a week, didn’t help myself this morning with that test 🙄

@KatB259 this group is a godsend, honestly!

@Sophj19 sorry to hear what you’re going through. I’m glad they appear to be being slightly helpful, hope you get some answers soon

xx

Rb486 · 09/07/2020 12:50

@VP91x I’m on cycle day 10 and have a blank circle still. I have no idea what my cycles will be doing. I think maybe I’ll see a flashy next week. According to glow app I’m due to ovulate on the 16th but who knows.
Prosecco always gives me a headache too, glad you managed to avoid it this morning 😘
