Tink20058 · 16/08/2020 18:23

@VP91x thanks for the new thread hope everyone is well xxx

chloedancer897 · 16/08/2020 18:42

@MichT4 I'm so sorry you're going through this. When is AF due? Try testing with FMU in the morning. I have completely gone off early testing now. I think it's awful! We all saw lines so please don't think you imagined it xx

susiebluebell · 16/08/2020 18:52

Hello all, hope I can join in. I've just this week miscarried my first pregnancy at 5 weeks 2 days, which I and my partner are understandably sad about. I've been lurking on these TTC threads for some weeks and following you ladies' journeys has been such a help, even before I knew I was miscarrying myself. Smile Wine

MichT4 · 16/08/2020 18:53

@Lollol86 @Pugprincess @Runnergirl1 @chloedancer897 thank you ladies. AF was due Friday or yesterday I think, unless I didn't ovulate when I thought I did.

How are you all?

@chloedancer897 agree on early testing. I just wanted to know before I came away and thought I was almost 14dpo so didn't think it would be so confusing. Testing early is the devils work.

It makes me feel better it wasn't just me. And OH saw them too, on CB and cheapies. Just one of those things. The one I did today was pink dye so unless they just hate me 😂

How are you getting on? When is Ava arriving?

I'm also now really annoyed I left my Ava at home because now I want to know what's going on with my temps 🙄 xx

Bl0ndi3 · 16/08/2020 18:56

Hi ladies sorry I've been awol just been enjoying the weekend.

I've had a rough afternoon. Step son was video calling with his baby brother earlier and it was so hard seeing him interacting with a baby so sweetly. Then I go on Facebook and see two back to back ultrasound posts from friends. I'd be going to my booking in appointment Tuesday and my private scan on Saturday ☹️

I've been okay the last few days too thinking I was over the worst of it and this afternoon I feel the same despair about it all and having to do it all again TTC wise.

OPKs are still negative and CBD is still giving me a O. CD13 and I normally ovulate around CD18 so I'm thinking I'll be ovulating a lot later this first cycle post MC which is just frustrating too!

Urgh sorry for the rant

Jazper · 16/08/2020 19:02

Thank you for the new thread @VP91x ❤️

Hayley19835 · 16/08/2020 19:08

@VP91x thanks for new thread hope everyone is doing ok. Been working all weekend and too top it off my dodgy disk in my back has decided after 8 months of no pain now is the time to flare up!
Got my follow up fertility apt Tuesday on the phone as not doing face to face feeling a bit nervous as get OH's scan results and his genetic bloods also so may finally get some answers to his poor SA!

Northernsoul90 · 16/08/2020 19:16

Thanks for the new thread @VP91x Sorry that you have had a rough day! Xx

@MichT4 Please don't feel like an idiot! We all saw the lines too. I hope you are doing okay xx

@Bl0ndi3 Sorry that you have had one of those days it's really hard seeing others posts about pregnancy 😔 sending hugs xx

@Hayley19835 Oh no 😩 wishing you lots of luck for your app on Tuesday!! Xx

Tink20058 · 16/08/2020 19:39

@MichT4 sorry it’s all confusing for you, really hope you get some clarity in next few days I did get positive cb at 8 dpo then 2-3 days of negatives which I thought I was going mad then first response ones started showing positive again xx

MichT4 · 16/08/2020 19:57

@Bl0ndi3 this is the place to rant. Sorry you're having a rough day, it's hard isn't it. I do hope that you get your static smiley soon and that your cycle isn't affected too much.

@Northernsoul90 thank you. I'm ok, just didn't think it would hit me as I didn't really believe it anyway. And I think I'm just letting the emotion out now before I most likely see it in stark white tomorrow morning. At least I'm prepared then!

I'm still getting loads of creamy CM. Maybe getting ready for AF?

@Tink20058 thank you! That's so strange about your tests. Were you still using CB/FRER? I'd lobe to think this is the same, but I'm not confident.

How's the bump progressing?

xx

Tink20058 · 16/08/2020 20:04

@MichT4 I think I used every test I could get my hands on 🤣 I used clear blues first one was a digital and was positive then used all brands but was negative until 3 days after then had only really faint line one first response but then started progressing I dread to think how much I spent on them lol it’s all good growing nicely now and nerves have eased we have gender scan next Monday time seems to be going so fast xx

MichT4 · 16/08/2020 20:06

@Tink20058 it's terrifying how much we spend on tests. Every time I'm out I want to buy more! Guess it's worth it once you have the bfp though.

How exciting with your scan. Do you have any inclination as to what it might be? xx

Rb486 · 16/08/2020 20:16

@VP91x thanks for a new thread 🧵😘
@MichT4 sorry to hear things are messing about, being in limbo is the worst when all you wanna see is those two lines. Just stay positive. Good things come to those who wait! Try and enjoy your holiday and use the time to unwind and relax!

Why is this year so shitty? I don’t have any children and my last pregnancy/m/c was a complete surprise. Now I know I want children ASAP but haven’t had any luck yet it would be nice to use the time wisely to go on nice holidays etc but we can’t even do that due to bloody Covid. Feel like this time is being wasted 😭 anyone else feel like this?

Northernsoul90 · 16/08/2020 20:19

@MichT4 Yes maybe? Whatever the outcome is tomorrow we are all here for you. Let yourself feel sad, any loss is a loss no matter how early on or how briefly we knew. I still have everything crossed for you xx

@Tink20058 Aww lovely that you have your gender scan soon! Glad you are getting on okay!

@Tink20058 @MichT4 POAS is so addictive I am ridiculous with it I must have spent a fortune on tests this past year 🥴 xx

chloedancer897 · 16/08/2020 20:24

@MichT4 I dread to think how much I've spent on tests but it's for peace of mind and we would all pay anything for those BFPs! I hope you get answers soon xx

I haven't even got a confirmation email from my Ava yet. Do you like yours? can you take it off during the day? I work in a hospital so I can't wear a watch.

Northernsoul90 · 16/08/2020 20:24

@Rb486 I definitely feel like this 2020 has been awful for me - and so many other people. I have anxiety and depression and came off my medication at the end of last year in the hopes of being off it for when I got pregnant but that massively backfired and I had a bad bout of it resulting in me not ovulating. Then I lost my grandma in February, had to go back on the meds, COVID and lockdown happened got pregnant in April and mc in June. My hormones and nerves have been shot at I ended up having 6 weeks off work after the mc it was all too much but you feel like your time off has been a bit wasted as well. I really hope things look up for us all and we can end a shitty year with our rainbow babies and bfps 🤞🏼🙏🏼 Sorry I feel like I went on a bit of a rant there 🤣 xx

HappyVibes · 16/08/2020 20:26

@Bl0ndi3 I am the exact same with ovulating being later now than it used to be pre-MC. It’s frustrating but still blessed that we are ovulating lady. Are you using cheapies & CBD? What makes you think you’re going to ovulated later xxx

MichT4 · 16/08/2020 21:07

Thanks @Rb486 @Northernsoul90. Will foolishly keep fingers crossed and hope I get a clear answer either way.

@chloedancer897 I like the Ava for ease, because I wouldn't get up and temp every morning at the same time. If I could, I would do that. But I am confused by the temps sometimes and how much they would differ if I used an oral one. But I do hope it's giving me the same trend as an oral one would. It's difficult to know so far as my first month I got pg, then this month I've stopped wearing it, so I've not had a solid collection of data yet.
You only wear it at night, so it's nice and convenient xx

2020wish · 16/08/2020 21:14

@MichT4 please don’t feel stupid. U have positive tests and more than one, so if this ends up being a chemical then it’s important your doctor knows so they can take u more seriously and get u answers, so please don’t feel bad about the early testing, it’s good that you know what’s been going on in the long run, I know it’s hard now but it will help you get proper answers and tests and referrals if anything... that said.. you are still way too early for afternoon wee with a cheapie. So with af still being MIA and no spotting, please try and stay positive. Fingers crossed for that CB test tomorrow, make sure u don’t drink before bed and don’t get up and pee during the night xx
