Thanks ladies. I'm just about to enter 'the danger zone' so I'm going to take a break from MN and try and keep myself distracted.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas - catch up soon xx

Merry Christmas @daffodil21 Xmas Smile

Bramleyapples13 · 21/12/2020 17:24

@Daffodil21 Merry Christmas! Have a good one!

Daffodil21 · 21/12/2020 18:05

I've just started to bleed 🤬🤬🤬

Noooo @Daffodil21 I'm so so sorry. Hopefully it won't be what you think it is? Are you able to get any scans or tests?

Daffodil21 · 21/12/2020 18:43

@acaciabluebell I think it's exactly what I think it is. I've been avoiding looking at the loo roll since I had my promising blood results back, but I've had a feeling that there has been some there. It was bright red in my underwear this evening. Usually it starts brown then goes red, but nope gone straight to red. I intentionally haven't been keeping an eye though so I could have just missed the brown.

Yeah I could almost definitely get a scan, but to be honest I just can't be bothered. If there's no heartbeat they'll say I've got my dates wrong, and if there is then in past experience that doesn't mean anything either so I'm just going to wait for it to happen at home. They didn't end up doing proper testing for the last pregnancy either so I'm not even going to waste my time taking this one to the hospital

I'm so sorry @Daffodil21. I can't imagine how you must feel. Be kind to yourself ❤️️ Maybe see how you feel tomorrow r.e getting any scans? So the hospital know at least. They have to start testing this properly! Gosh. I'm so upset and angry on your behalf.

Tofu35 · 22/12/2020 17:09

Oh daffodil, I won't tag you in case you're taking a break from MN. If you do see this, I hope you and your partner are doing okay and, while this will be a different Christmas to normal, I hope the two of you have a lovely time and you can recover from this unwelcome news xx

Here's to next year, 2020 has been a pile of shite!

Daffodil21 · 22/12/2020 17:34

@Tofu35 thank you ❤️ yeah my MN break hasn't quite worked out! I was hoping to sail through the danger zone but here we are again.

@acaciabluebell thanks ❤️ we've firmly decided against a scan. Time will tell but I'm pretty sure this is going the same way as the others. The bleeding has stopped for today, but it always starts then stops for a bit just to fuck with me some more.

The second I got my bfp I knew this was likely to happen over Christmas, so we'll just have to make the best of it.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas, even though as you say it's a little different this year 🎄

Bramleyapples13 · 22/12/2020 21:58

Oh god @Daffodil21 I hope it isn't. I really can't find the right words. What are the next steps?

Christmas is just another day. I've always happily worked Christmas day, being off is a novelty. And a different Christmas to normal for everyone won't hurt and may be something they do again!

Tabbycat92 · 23/12/2020 07:39

Ladies, have I got line eyes? Am I going mad? 10dpo (I know I said id wait...) on a clear blue (frers don't arrive until later)

Ya know what, I've realised there's nothing there haha ignore that

Daffodil21 · 23/12/2020 12:17

@Bramleyapples13 I'm just going to wait it out. I'm not going to bother with a scan as I've never had any answers from one. If it's going to happen it'll happen soonish so for now I'll just wait.

@Tabbycat92 hope it turns into a bfp for you

Tofu35 · 26/12/2020 09:21

Merry Christmas, gang! Hope whatever you managed to do yesterday, you had a lovely time 🎅

acaciabluebell · 26/12/2020 14:32

@Tofu35, right back at you lovely!

I had a nice day with my DH yesterday but he's gone back to work today so I'm home alone with my emotions and hormones (bad mix). I'm 10dpo today and I got a BFN as always :( Sigh. AF is due on Monday. I have strong lower back aches and my boobs have been incredibly sore for a week and a half now. Same thing every month. I dunno if I can hack this any longer tbh

Tabbycat92 · 26/12/2020 16:08

Merry christmas back at ya @tofu35.

I tested yesterday at 12dpo hoping to gift DH with a Christmas BFP, but it was negative Sad
Had so many symptoms too...

Ah well, AF is due tomorrow so we'll see

Daffodil21 · 26/12/2020 16:36

Merry Christmas to you all too - I hope you all managed to have a nice time still. I'm so sorry to read about those bfns, but you've still got time - you're not out until you're out!

My bleeding has so far eased up... I'm by no means counting my chickens but I'm glad it's stopped for now at least...

OP posts:
Tofu35 · 26/12/2020 19:04

Its my FW this week, pigs in blankets describes what's on the menu, and our general activity level this week 😂

Glad the bleeding has eased up for you dafodil!

Sorry to hear about the BFNs this week, as @daffodil21 said, it's not over until it's over. And if it isn't your month, I hope there's some unprocessed/mould ripened cheese with your name on it!

Daffodil21 · 26/12/2020 19:23

I spoke too soon - just had a little blood when wiping after a little yelllowish discharge (tmi, sorry), so wondering if that was the beginnings of my mucus plug coming out. Fuck saaaake

OP posts:
Daffodil21 · 26/12/2020 19:23

@Tofu35 love the pigs in blankets reference 😂😂😂

OP posts:
Tabbycat92 · 27/12/2020 17:50

So I'm one day late ladies, but not letting myself get too hopeful as feel AF is imminent.
How's everyone else doing?

acaciabluebell · 29/12/2020 12:10

I'm 13dpo today, AF one day late. BFNs on 10dpo and 12dpo. TMI but I've been having weird brown stringy discharge the past few days which is unusual for me. Also had strong pains in my lower back but only one side.
I think AF is starting soon though because I'm getting slight red spotting.

Tabbycat92 · 29/12/2020 12:49

16dpo today, 3 days late for AF... Bfn on 8,10,12dpo... No tests left haha.
I feel like AF is on the way, but it's so strange for me to be so late

Daffodil21 · 29/12/2020 13:02

@acaciabluebell this does sound promising! Absolutely everything crossed for you! What tests are you using?

@Tabbycat92 how frustrating! Do you know for sure you're 16dpo?

OP posts:
Tabbycat92 · 29/12/2020 13:17

@daffodil21 I believe so. Have been tracking with opk's for the last 6 months now. Including this month when I had my usual peak on time
