Update on me - there is no update 😂 CD20, not even a sniff of a positive OPK and no temp rise. Will have bloods done in the next couple of days. Gynae appt on 16th Sept is the plan xx

@VP91x same!! Been together 13 years now!

@Scrambledeggy Yeah, it's a bloody minefield. I would never have thought I'd be in this position. Also, I had a much bigger, longer bleed with my daughter at 8 weeks than I did with the MC. Go figure! 🙄 Xx

@scrambledeggy my daughter was a very shocking surprise. I was on the pill and on the rebound after ending a 4 year relationship, 21 and in party mode. She’s now 9. Been ttc number 2 since last year and have had 3 losses in that time frame and now 7 weeks with pregnancy number 5 xx

@chloedancer897 I forget sometimes! At least it's handy for anniversary dates and timings, haha xx

@2020wish @Rb486 😂😂 thanks ladies.
@VP91x no pressure at all 🤣

Like @MrsK21 my concern is I could be less than I think and what if it's negative and too early. I'm already making excuses 🙄 urgh

@Diorissimo1985 that's a pain about DH being away - what are the chances. But you might not need him by then. Keeping everything crossed for a birthday BFP.

@BEESY90 I really want to know you are ok, I'm worried about you. Please talk to someone and get support from family. It's a lot to deal with, without the baby and the seizure on top.

@Northernsoul90 good idea to stick with CB. Think I might try them next cycle, but will keep the cheapies too as I have no real idea what my cycles are up to.

@scrambledeggy im glad I don't sound like a total lunatic. I'd love for it to mean something, but I'm sure this is just another trick. Am still remaining hopeful for you and your boobs

@Firevie totally jealous of your streamline body! And such a lovely evening reading and relaxing. Sounds like you're having a great time at home

😂😂😂😂😂 @VP91x @Lollol86 the vagina/annoyed OH and bagins has had me laughing 🤣🤣

xx

@MichT4 I know, but honestly just test whenever you feel most ready.

Argh, so I think my opks might still be a tad darker. I've got my bloods booked for tomorrow but don't know whether to hold off in case something happens!? What to do... Xx

@VP91x what time are your bloods? Do you have time to do one first to see if it's darker? Then maybe hold off a few days?
Got a pic?

I think I'll hang on til Thursday, but I think the temptation will be there. I'm at work so will be our the door early so that might stop me xx

@MichT4 ah I didn't take one and they are downstairs, cba 😂 they are at 8.30 but can call and rebook it wouldn't be an issue. I just don't want to prolong it if not necessary.

Eep, exciting either way for you xx

@VP91x I guess the point is that you are going to see if you ovulated at the normal time. So worst case is you ovulate just after but it will only make them assume you need the meds to help ovulation - not a bad thing. So I'd stick with it. You could always call if you think you did ovulate after and ask for another, but might as well keep the process going xx

I really need to try and kick my caffeine habit as I know it's not great when ttc - my weakness is tea! And Diet Coke which is terrible for you anyway. I couldn't drink either when I was pregnant last time due to aversions and sickness but I need to cut down definitely. I'm going to try and have one normal tea in a morning and then drink decaf and just cut the Diet Coke out... I don't know why I'm finding it so hard as I've done it before!

@Northernsoul90 caffeine really worries me to as it’s meant to increase risk of mc too. I’ve not touched Diet Coke since and since I found out this time I haven’t had a decaf tea either cause there’s still a small amount of caffeine I think. Also being careful not to have much chocolate as that has it too x

Hey ladies, hope it’s ok to join. I had an early MC in June and just waiting to see if anything took this month - should have DTD more but was too hot 🤣 AF due 22/23 Aug and feels like forever! x

@pugprincess that is good to know. I actually had a really strong coffee which gave me palpitations before I found out I was PG last time. I ended up having an early MC - may not be related but I think will avoid Caffeine now Just in case x

@2020wish I can't believe you're 7 weeks already!❤️❤️❤️

I’m worried reading all this :( chocolate and Diet Coke can cause miscarriage?? Really OMG I’ve had so much. I never knew this. I’ve been drinking Diet Coke in between water as it keeps the sickness at bay and people have been buying me chocolate

@chloedancer897 I know although it feels like every day is dragging trying to make it to my 9 week scan

@2020wish sorry I didn’t mean to panic you 😩😔 it’s probably ok. But they do say to not go over 200mg of caffeine a day when preg. Not sure how much is in a glass of Diet Coke or a chocolate bar...I know when I was preg last time obviously the first two weeks I didn’t know I was pregnant so I was drinking caffeine tea and coke all the time. Once I knew I went into decaf tea and only had two a day. And one glass of coke a day because I thought I was under the 200mg. But after what happened I’m being probably ‘over the top’ about things so that if something happened again I know it wasn’t that. Also trying hard to reduce the risk of things happening again. You have had your scan so please be assured you are ok. Just maybe cut back or find an alternative to help? Check with the doctor? Xx

@2020wish honey don't worry, I didn't immediately quit coffee when I got pregnant I still had one cup a day for a few days before going decaf. In terms of the caffeine you've been having in fairly sure it would only matter once the placenta has developed and also chocolate has tiny amounts of caffeine. 200mg is the equivalent of 5/6 cans of coke or 8 chocolate bars.

This is what I used I just have 2 coffees at work in a morning then have fruit tea in an afternoon xx

So I finally felt like DTD yesterday and it was way too bloody hot for it! It's forecast to be pretty hot all week 🥵😩

I tried to prep and put fans on all day and had the windows and doors open even tho I hate insects getting in so normally keep them shut 😂 but still felt like I might spontaneously combust without adding vigorous movement into the mix 🙄

@Northernsoul90 @Pugprincess @2020wish please try not to worry, obviously we all know that excessive caffeine isn't ideal, just like excess of everything. But, even on the NHS website it shows that this recommendation is only based on a tiny study of 1,000 women and it wasn't a diverse representation or did they take into account other factors that could have contributed. Anyway, I only say this because we carry enough guilt around with us about our miscarriages and I would hate for any of you feeling responsible for anything based on an extra cup of coffee or can of drink if it gets rid of nausea etc.

❤️❤️

@MichT4 you are so right, will get them done this morning! How are you this morning? Xx

@2020wish I wouldn't worry about it too much if that's the only thing keeping your sickness at bay. When I was pg my diet was awful as I couldn't keep anything down including vitamins, folic acid etc I had every intention of having this really clean diet but in reality you feel that awful you just eat what you can stomach. Diet Coke and chocolate have far lower caffeine compared to tea and coffee (especially chocolate) but if you are worried you can get a caffeine calculator up on google and input what you've had for each day. Those things alone though don't cause miscarriage and some studies have actually shown to reduce the risk but I think NHS guidelines is about 200mg per day when pregnant. I'm just trying to cut it atm because some days I can have up to 6 cups of tea a day and then Diet Coke on top of that isn't good in general but especially when ttc xx

@VP91x Yes I had read that as well - a lot of studies into pregnancy related issues seem to similar in the fact that they don't take into account other factors. We can only do our best, I'm just a bit of an obsessive tea drinker 😂 but I wouldn't begrudge myself a few bars of chocolate!

How are you? Is it your blood test today? Xx

@TJM123 Welcome 😊 I'm really sorry for your loss. Fingers crossed for a bfp for you! Xx

@Northernsoul90 yeah exactly, and it is so damaging to our mental health. You feel shit as it is without thinking oh was it that extra coffee I had just to get through the day at work because you felt so crap or chocolate etc. I suppose they would rather be over cautious.

I'm okay! Yeah getting them done in an hour. Should get the results pretty quickly my last bloods I got them the next day 😯. How are you? Xx

Welcome @TJM123 🥰sorry about the recent loss, I hope you are lucky this month 🤞🤞

@Bl0ndi3 😂😂 the that made me laugh, maybe cold shower sex is the solution 👀💦 xx

@VP91x hahaha not gonna lie we do like shower sex but it's not the best for TTC really is it 😭😭😭 I need to invest in air con in the name of TTC 😂
