@MichT4 ooh, nice choice. Although I'm a sucker for a proper oreo biscuit though.. I may or may not go and buy some👀

I also love fruit & nut!

Xx

@MichT4 that is a pain all these multiple appointments! Oreo choc sounds divine and I would've done the same. I bought some FRER off Amazon and put them on a subscription thing which I forgot to turn off, hadn't even had flippin AF arrive and I've got 6 FRER to my name now lol watch how I become a prolific early tester now and I'll drag you all down with me!

@VP91x still no clouds or rain - had to resort to turning my video off for work calls so no one could see my boob sweat patches!

@chloedancer897 sorry AF arrived, sounds like you have some nice treats lined up and hopefully a mental reset for however you decide to pursue TTC going forwards xxx

VP91x · 12/08/2020 16:44

@HE88 lovely to hear from you, don't feel sorry for coming back and talking. It's what we are here for. Are you sure you feel out? The spotting could be IB especially if your RHR is rising which is apparently a thing when pregnant? How many dpo are you?

@chloedancer897 you will get through this ❤️ I'm glad you are both taking the right steps for you and its nice that as a family you have that honesty when things aren't so great. Before you know it you'll be at your appointments and having a more positive time xx

VP91x · 12/08/2020 16:45

@MrsK21 😂😂😂 not me! No TWW because my body can't even be bothered to try and ovulate 😩😂, next month 🤞xx

MichT4 · 12/08/2020 16:47

@VP91x I LOVE fruit and nut. No one ever gets it. OH nearly left me when I said it was one of the tops!

@chloedancer897 it's not surprising you are feeling like that. It must feel like a huge weight lifted talking to everyone about it. Bless your daughter 🥰.
I think that while it's not how you saw it, it's just a little bit of help to speed things along. I also wonder whether deciding that might make you relax about everything a bit, and you never know - it might happen.
We are all here for you and have everything crossed. Don't be hard on yourself and have a lovely few days before jumping back in

@HE88 lovely to hear from you. All your rant sounds very familiar! Your heart rate and spotting could mean something else though, especially spotting nearly a week before AF is due.

It's a good month because either you get a lovely positive, or you get to have some tests etc. So in a weird way, try and see the positive in it.
I have the same this month - if AF doesn't arrive I get the hormone tests and scan of my ovaries so I'm seeing it as a very bizarre WIN/win. Obviously one is much better 😂

xx

MichT4 · 12/08/2020 16:50

@MrsK21 😂😂 I literally now have these 5, and about 4 normal CB/weeks detectors upstairs. It's madness. So I'll be doing what I don't want to do and testing multiple times, just to get rid. Although so far I've needed my reserve 🙄

Literally LOL at your boob sweat. I always wear black to work 😂😂🥵🥵 xx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 16:50

@VP91x thanks 😊. I'm not sure how many dpo I am as I've not been tracking but I think I'm maybe 9/10dpo.
Well this is what is making me a bit confused I feel like I should just take a test just put myself out my misery!

How are you doing anyway I know you got diagnosed with PCOS have you started any treatment? Xx

Firevie · 12/08/2020 16:50

An update on my AF - sorry TMI - v light guess cos it’s the first day and it’s brownish so far... xxx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 16:54

@MichT4 I feel thrown off this cycle I had the last cycle with the spotting before af though but no rise in resting heart rate 🤦‍♀️.
But yes your right whatever happens I've still got a positive. Have you had any tests done yet? Xx

MichT4 · 12/08/2020 17:01

@Firevie no such thing as TMI here!

@HE88 no not yet. I asked for some after the first MC but she said not til 6 months. After the second I thought I'd have more of a fight on my hands but he said he would do them. So I'll have hormones and bloods/scans to check on my PCOS and if it's come back.
He kind of excluded the miscarriages when he counted how long we had been TTC so said these would be the first steps if we saw a fertility specialist so might as well get them done! Fine by me. Although obviously I hope we don't have to get to that point

Is yours the fertility clinic? Do you know what tests you'll have?

MrsK21 · 12/08/2020 17:02

@MichT4 yes my fear is I'll get one BFP and then go nuts obsessing over line progression or something!
I usually wear dark colours too but thought I'd try a cute blush pink number today - wrong decisions all round x

2020wish · 12/08/2020 17:07

@VP91x @MichT4 I actually thought the normal digital test that came in the triple check pack 6 weeks early picked up before the week’s indicator? it did for me, always got my positive 10/11dpo on the normal one in the triple pack. But frer don’t work on me so I’m probs just strange lol fingers crossed for tomorrow! I always with a few diff brands together

@Pugprincess lovely little ornament ❤️ The spotting can be completely normal

@Firevie sorry af arrived, Is it possible it’s spotting just?

@chloedancer897 sorry af came :( but glad u got speaking to ur children, how old is ur eldest? It might feel a feel bit of stress lifted trying to hide from them, but glad ur mindset seems more focused and u have a plan xx

@HE88 welcome back, fingers crossed for a BFP soon xx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 17:07

@MichT4 ah ok that's good they are going to do something for you.

Yeah the fertility clinic so I'm already a patient with them so this appointment will be classed as a follow up so I'm not really sure what they will do. They may want to take bloods and do a scan again. Xx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 17:09

@2020wish thank you how are you doing? Xx

Firevie · 12/08/2020 17:14

@2020wish who knows...will see what happens tmr but I think it is def af probably will get stronger flow over the next couple of days xx

2020wish · 12/08/2020 17:20

@HE88 I am good, just counting down to my next scan and taking one day at a time. Right now I’m lying on the sofa watching tv counting down to bed time

@Firevie whatever tomorrow brings make sure u treat urself to something nice xx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 17:22

@2020wish that's great how far along are you did you have an early scan? Xx

Lollol86 · 12/08/2020 17:23

@chloedancer897 sorry af has showed up, definitely treat yourself. Get the chocolate in xx

2020wish · 12/08/2020 17:27

@HE88 just 7 weeks. Yes had a scan last week at exactly 6 weeks all was good and seen a heart beat but still so early and afraid. Have another scan at 9 weeks so just counting down to that x

Firevie · 12/08/2020 17:28

@MrsK21 thank you! I’m trying to stay positive and will be but I’ve just had a little cry to myself as my parents have just stepped outside. DH will be here tmr lunchtime so that will help. And can’t wait for that well deserved drink at the wedding lol
@chloedancer897 sorry to hear af for you too! Lush bath bombs sound amazing! Guess we will be on the journey to next month together. Hello 👋 buddy! Xxx

HE88 · 12/08/2020 17:31

@2020wish I'll keep everything crossed for you 😊 are you being closely monitored then? Xx

fafi · 12/08/2020 17:34

@lollol86 omg how exciting! I've heard false positives are actually super rare so I'm very hopeful for you! Especially as you have two clear positives there! Can't wait to see it develop!

@Firevie aww I'm sorry AF has arrived but pleased your body has reset so quickly! And yes, enjoy that wine at the wedding! At least it'll be cooler in September for DTD! Fingers crossed for you!

@MichT4 ugh I know what you mean about the heat I've been so unproductive! I have driving lessons on Wednesdays and I was dreading it but the Aircon in the car was actually pretty wonderful and I had a good lesson!

@pugprincess aww I'm sorry you got sad in the garden centre! Don't worry about the spotting or sounds totally normal but I know what you mean about the milestones - it can be hard to relax but it does get better! Sickness can start from 6 weeks so you're not due it yet. I don't think my boobs started hurting until 5 weeks. But some people get neither symptoms so don't worry!

@HE88 Aww hun I'm sorry you're feeling rubbish.

@chloedancer897 I'm sorry you're still feeling down, it's not surprising so allow yourself time. Sounds like you've got a good plan in place and it's nice you've been able to open up to your kids.

@2020wish counting down to bedtime 😂 me too. I'm such a bore when pregnant!

HE88 · 12/08/2020 17:37

Thanks @fafi hope you are doing well. Xx

Firevie · 12/08/2020 17:37

Thanks @fafi it sucks so I’m moping now
So jealous of your fruit and nut and Oreo chat - we have no Chocolate here lol
Will have to wait for the bubbly on Friday but I’m driving there first after not having driven for quite a few years now so I’ve had couple of driving lessons with my dads friend yesterday and today. Today after I got my af so I’ve been holding the cries in since and just concentrated on the drive. Hopefully I can shake off the mopiness so I can drive properly on Friday and then indulge in bubbly xxx

2020wish · 12/08/2020 17:44

@HE88 yes thankfully, they are scanning me every 3 weeks for reassurance and even up prescribing me aspirin so I was lucky I put myself on it from after ovulation

@fafi I know right. I would happily go to bed now
