Hi everyone.
I suffered an ectopic pregnancy at the start of june at 6/7 weeks pregnant. I was devastated.
The time has come again to TTC and it feels surreal to have to go through all this again.
I'm on CD1 today so this is my first cycle TTC.
Just hoping it doesn't take too long to fall pregnant again

stickytoffeepud1991 · 14/08/2020 23:11

Evening ladies how is everyone??
Sorry to hear of AF and BFN @whambam89 @Boc86 and @LeopardLover TTC is so bloody cruel and stressful!!
I think I’m coming on as I’ve had such bad wind today and I usually get the bad farts before 🙈 sorry that’s tmi does anyone else get like that?
Xx

LeopardLover · 14/08/2020 23:53

@Tigger1987 Oh how weird!? This is exactly me. I've always been really regular! I wonder if it's stress? So weird. Apparently I'm still ovulating at the same point, but today is 30 days so 17 DPO (soon to be 18 DPO). I feel very periody - it's all just delayed! X

LeopardLover · 14/08/2020 23:55

@stickytoffeepud1991 Honestly my tummy does somersaults before AF 🤣

@Hopefulmummie Welcome! So sorry for your loss. Hoping this is your cycle! X

Sansa87 · 15/08/2020 05:51

One of the cats woke me up so I begrudgingly got up and poas

HELLO PEAK!!! I’m hoping this is a 34 day cycle and af isn’t due 27th still, that can’t be long enough.

Need oh to wake up so we can bd!

Ahhhh

LeopardLover · 15/08/2020 06:17

@Sansa87 Yay!! It's here. 😊 Go get him 😉

@whambam89 I'm almost tempted to test but this happened last month and I kicked myself! I haven't used my precious FMU yet, but feel super AFy - yet my temp did rise a little overnight! I think my body is just messing with me 😅

whambam89 · 15/08/2020 06:26

@LeopardLover test test test! 🤞

Boc86 · 15/08/2020 06:30

Thank you @Tigger1987 and @stickytoffeepud1991 ❤️

Congratulations @bh2210 ❤️

Boc86 · 15/08/2020 06:31

Oh exciting @LeopardLover!! Really hoping for bfp for you x

Tigger1987 · 15/08/2020 07:42

@LeopardLover It is so strange isn't it. Wow that sounds so promising especially as you have not tested yet. 16DPO/17DPO!! Have you had 16 temps above cover line? I have everything tightly crossed for your BFP. 🙂🙂

@Hopefulmummie Welcome to the group! I am very sorry to hear of your ectopic.

@Sansa87 Great news!! 🎉

I tested and still BFN. Maybe a shadow of a line (if I tilt it and filter it 🙈😂) so not looking too promising!

Sansa87 · 15/08/2020 08:02

Oooh @LeopardLover I’m so excited for you! I totally understand the poas fear though. At least now you can still be Pg regardless of if you are or not. It does sound promising though!

Take it easy with diy today! Xx

BuckleUp · 15/08/2020 08:38

@LeopardLover Keeping everything crossed for you! Test when you're ready too, totally understandable you want to wait a bit longer after last cycle. Saying that, I'm impressed with your restraint! I'd have definitely tested as soon as AF was late 😂

Sansa87 · 15/08/2020 08:51

Update: oh is still asleep 😩 he never sleeps in this late 🙄

LeopardLover · 15/08/2020 08:55

Oh lordy! Okay. I have succumbed to peer pressure and now I'm freaking out because of all my cramping! I also had shoulder pain last night so now I'm terrified (I didn't realise that was a bad thing) - but it wasn't shoulder tip pain, it felt like normal I've been at the gym pain!? I was lifting a huge kitchen unit last night...

Boc86 · 15/08/2020 09:04

Woah look at that line @LeopardLover congratulations!! Maybe ring EPU for advice if you’re worried? Might scan you 🙊 X

LeopardLover · 15/08/2020 09:13

@Boc86 Thank you! Online my EPU says they only take you from 6+ weeks? Hmmm... I've also determined it's not shoulder tip pain - so hopefully it's just from heavy moving! The pain hasn't been intense enough to take tablets or anything, just like normal AF pains but it was the worst on Thursday night. I'll keep you updated and see how I feel over the coming days!

whambam89 · 15/08/2020 09:15

@LeopardLover omg congratulations! Such a strong line as well, so happy for you!

Sansa87 · 15/08/2020 09:29

Yay @LeopardLover I’m so happy for you!!!!! What a good line!!! I had cramping when I had my bfp and was told it’s the uterus stretching, so it’s a GOOD sign!

I didn’t think shoulder pain being a bad thing came into play until a couple of weeks later. You do do (hehe she said dodo) a lot of diy shiz atm, so would more likely put it down to that.

Ahhhhh! Congrats!

Tigger1987 · 15/08/2020 09:55

Omg @LeopardLover such an amazing line!!! I am so happy for you!!! Cramping is very common in early pregnancy. Lots of posts of people thinking their period was going to come and didn't. What a great way to start a Saturday. Have you told your OH?

duckii · 15/08/2020 12:12

Omg amazing news @LeopardLover congratulations! How did your OH take the news? Xx

LeopardLover · 15/08/2020 12:17

@whambam89 @Sansa87 @Tigger1987 Thank you all!! It's slowly starting to sink in, although now I want to buy more tests - can anyone recommend what one I should try next? I know the CB weeks one isn't great?

Thank you @Sansa87 for putting my mind at ease re cramping and shoulder aches!! I have been going hard on the DIY this week but now I have an excuse not to. Also I get the impression I can request massages when I want moving forward 😉 I hope you managed to DTD!

It's so weird because I still feel like I might come on my period, also feeling a little wet like AF will show 🙈 @Tigger1987 I absolutely messed up the reveal as I was worried about the shoulder thing... OJ was half asleep so I just plonked it on the bed and started talking about my shoulder pain, he was trying to follow and couldn't work out if there was one line or 2 🤣 We're heading to stay with one of his sister's for the weekend so need to play it cool. We're both quietly excited 😊 So no AF for you and perhaps a squinter? Fingers crossed!!

claireb707 · 15/08/2020 12:51

Oh wow congratulations @LeopardLover that's a good strong line

claireb707 · 15/08/2020 12:57

So today is our 12 month mark 😢

Partner did his repeat SA yesterday so now waiting for the results. I'm cd6 today so about to start the opk testing again

OP posts:
Sansa87 · 15/08/2020 14:18

Oh had overthinking issues this morning 😩 I shouldn’t have told him I’d peaked. I had a lovely time, but no ahem finish.

Gonna ply him with disarrano later and try again 😂

Tigger1987 · 15/08/2020 14:41

@LeopardLover I bet your OH was so confused initially. Ahhh have a lovely time away. Bet you are both so excited. It will be like a special secret between the both of you. I can't really help test wise as when I was pregnant with my son I did a few more FRERs then the CB digital but this was 3 years ago. You have such a good line already but I know what that itch is like to test. Maybe some form of digital would be nice just to see the words "pregnant".

AF still not here so 1 day late. I am spending most of the day thinking it is coming as quite wet (sorry for overshare) and googling every symptom!!! I have spent way too much on tests so going to try and wait till tomorrow to test again.

@claireb707
Hope you don't have to wait to long for the results of the SA. Which opks do you use? Really hope this is your cycle 🤞

@Sansa87 plying with alcohol seems like a good way forward. May help to make him more relaxed too!
