@MichT4 It could be a good sign it hasn't disappeared yet!

What dpo are you today? Do you think you could've ovulated later than thought??

I got my faint on a Wednesday and was bleeding by Friday night/Saturday morning but had awful cramps from the Thursday!

Are you tests similar or do you think there getting lighter?? Have you a pic?

I tested with so many brands the time of my chemical, I got my faints on CB, Sursign and Tesco. Nothing showed on One Step, FRER & Boots!

@Rebecca1992 I thought AF was due Friday or Saturday so I should be getting darker results. Unless I did ovulate later but temps didn't suggest that, and I'd still think they'd be darker.

They are as dark today as Thursday I think, here are a couple of pics. The pink dye ones yesterday (cheap Asda) I don't think snowed anything. Though when I looked later I thought I saw something but I think my eyes are etched with lines now xx

Morning ladies, sorry have been so quiet! Had a bit of a crazy day yesterday with everything.

First of all welcome @susiebluebell so sorry you have gone through a miscarriage this week, I really hope you are being kind to yourself. You will get lots of support here, feel free to vent whenever! xx

@Bl0ndi3 all those little milestones are so so hard and you never forget the dates. It is such a process to feel better over the MC and you won't ever really be over it, but you will get through them just let yourself be sad on those days. You might still ovulate around CD18, CBD is the most annoying thing, haha.

@Jazper how have you been hun? xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you lovely, hope you are ok?xx

@Tink20058 I also feel like your pregnancy is flying past! But also, so so happy for you that everything is progressing perfectly. How exciting that you will have a gender scan next week, that was my favourite.

@Rb486 I feel the same, this whole year has been a complete waste and it is so annoying because it is the last one of my 20s! Sigh, but what can you do? I hope Covid goes away soon, it really has destroyed so many things for so many people. Hope you are feeling better today xx

@HE88 thank you, yeah absolutely it was such an emotional day yesterday.

@Rainbowhope11 So glad to hear from you! Glad that you are okay, hope that work starts to slow down a little? Wow, already 11dpo, rising temps sounds hopeful though. Probably a good idea to not test until AF is late although maybe around 14/15dpo would be reliable enough to test? Great news about your appointment, I hope that they are helpful - although I am more hopeful that you won't need it!

I am doing okay, just waiting for AF really! I had a random temp rise over the last few days with no positive OPKs but no chance that I would have caught even if I did, haven't DTD much. I have actually enjoyed not having to this month - is that weird?

@HopeForRainbowbaby how are you doing? Did the bleeding progress? Sending you a big hug xx

@Pugprincess thank you for thinking of me, sorry I have been quiet. How are you? Has the spotting stopped now?xx

Little update from me - I had another higher temp this morning so FF has popped in possible ovulation, I'm not sure I have though although my skin has broken out which it normally does in the week before AF. Who knows, still haven't got my blood tests back yet either hoping they come through today! Will see if docs will do bloods again for next cycle.

Update on the pup - he has gone to a trainer for the foreseeable until we can possibly take him back. I was way too anxious and he was a bit young still to understand how to be around a toddler. OH is back home, all is well! xx

@MichT4 I know, I used to have to open my pink dies to see if there really was anything there!

It's so hard being in limbo! How many days is your cycle usually?

@MichT4 I'm sorry that you are still in limbo, I can see the line on the cb tests. Maybe it is just a case of ovulation later than you thought. When are you back from your holiday? I think I wouldn't buy anymore tests whilst you are there and then give the GP a call when you are home/ retest when you are back. What a difficult situation to get your heads around xx

@Firevie How did the wedding go? I hope you had a good time! Xx

@VP91x That's good that you've got things sorted with the pup and all is well with OH - you can do without the stress of it all! I agree with no pressure to dtd it becomes such a chore sometimes and also I feel like I become a sex pest 😂. DH knows full well it's for insemination purposes only half the time so I feel a bit guilty! I had second flashy this morning and my temp dropped quite a bit from 36.26 to 36.11 does this mean ovulation is pending do you think? I'm already thinking about when we need to dtd next 🤦🏽‍♀️ xx

@Rebecca1992 before MC they were long - 38 days ish. The last one when I fell PG was on course to be about 41 days. Today is CD37 based on first day of heavy bleeding from the MC.

@Northernsoul90 totally agree, I'm not buying any more. I've stocked up on alcohol free bubbles and gin so I'll just keep on with those and see what happens when I get back. Will be interested to see what the GP says if they do call me, but if I don't hear I'll call them next Monday. Of course by then I might have AF or a stark white negative and then I'll know for sure. Just wonder why AF isn't arriving and maybe there's a bigger issue.

How is everyone today? xx

@Northernsoul90 I would get one in a day while it’s flashing just incase. I know you might get flashies for awhile but that’s what I did. Then during peak twice a day 😅 I didn’t expect it to work cause I wondered if he would be producing less. Plus most the time it was quickies.

@MichT4 I can see lines still and I think they might be slightly more noticeable than the first time. Strange isn’t it. I hope you get some answers soon.

@VP91x so so glad the OH is back home and good the dogs gone for some training, hopefully he? Will return a different dog. Will always be scary having a big dog around little kids I think. But Bella will grow too. My MIL has a big female German shepherd and when she comes to my house I feel like I literally have a horse running around compared to my little dog 😂 my spotting yday was more beige in colour so fingers crossed it’s going away. Xx

@VP91x Thankyou it is flying past now going to give it few more weeks and start buying things 😕 I’m crazy and started Christmas shopping last month I hate the ques at shops now so dread to think what they will be like in December and when I’m really big so thought would make a start, so glad you got the pup sorted anyone would be the same with a little one around I remember first few weeks of having puppy and we all had to sit with our feet up because he used to randomly attack feet 🤣 he is only a little shihtzu too I’m really weary of bigger dogs xx

My biggest achievement today by far!!! That ladies is the bottom of my ironing basket 🤣🤣🤣 it’s a very rare sight in this house xx

@MichT4 I know it will be hard with things as they are but try and enjoy what's left of your holiday, have your bubbles and keep your mind busy ❤️ xx

@Pugprincess That was my plan to dtd every day I get a flashy! I wanted to try and get 2 in when I get a static but I'm not sure how realistic that is as DH leaves the house before 6 for work and is normally exhausted when he gets home. Just going to try and keep covered through fertile week xx

@Tink20058 What a nice sight! I can't stand ironing it's the worst xx

@MichT4 I am so sorry you're still in the unknown! AF alerted me to my CP so it all happened very quickly, I think if it was the case you'd know sooner rather than later! I think waiting to you get home to test is a good idea as you'll know for certain then. Fingers crossed it's just a slow show!x

@VP91x Glad to hear your pup is with a trainer! I am sure they're in good hands.x

I had my private scan today! I was dated 8+2 which is only a day off what we were expecting. We could see the heartbeat and all was looking healthy and on track!

After 2 losses over lockdown we are SO relieved, though now it feels real!

@fafi aww that’s lovely! Congratulations ❤️

@fafi congratulations that's lovely news, so glad little bean is growing nicely xx

Hey ladies hope everyone is well! I haven’t been on in a long time! A BFN on FRER 11dpo and BFN this morning on a CB digi. Really thought this was my month even tho I’ve only had some cramping 😂 I think because this will be my first AF since the MMC I just found it easier to tell myself it would happen.

Anyway I found this thread and thought it might help some of you. It’s all about implantation and hcg levels x

@fafi Congrats! X

My cheapie OPKs seem to be finally getting darker so I'll start CBD properly from tomorrow as only been doing it every other day and probably try and DTD every other day where I can. OH doesn't know I test so DTD has to happen "naturally" haha

Feeling better today been for a run with my friend and finally managed to stick to my diet 🤩😂 trying to just focus on my health and fitness. I quit vaping when I got pregnant and I've stayed off that because it was so difficult to give up!! I've stayed off caffeine and anything with aspartame in it too :)

@MichT4 They are long cycles! Try enjoy the rest of your holiday and test when you get back, no AF yet is still in the game!
Hopefully things will be clearer in the coming days!

@fafi Congrats 🥳 I hope you can start to enjoy now!

Yay @Bl0ndi3 & @Northernsoul90 that is fab regarding the OPKs showing fertile window is here for you both. That is where I am at now - CD16 & got our first flashy smiley 😊 Last month I got them for 10 days before the static, so it got a little exhausting haha. But I didn’t want to reduce to every other day, just in case I got the static much sooner. Tough balance haha. Xxx

@fafi congratulations on that scan, I love seeing them! Lovely bean!

To all you ladies that have flashing smiles, I'm sending you lots of baby dust xx

@fafi awww that so lovely to hear! I've got my scan this afternoon due to spotting hoping for a good outcome

@Northernsoul90 ah sorry you’ve such a ride of this year with loosing your grandma too 😭 they say things come in threes, hopefully that’s it now and you can continue on the up for the rest of the year! Sounded like you needed that time off to just get your head around everything and process it all. Take it easy won’t you and just do things one step at a time. I was thinking even though I’m missing a baby in my life atm, I am extremely grateful for other things. Lovely partner, lovely home, good job, friends, family etc. I guess we just have to think of the positives. So when we can get back up and travelling again.. where will everyone go? A dream destination?
@VP91x got to be somewhere big for the 30th 🥳 have you made any birthday plans? Xx

Hi everyone could I join into this chat?

I had a chemical around two weeks at approx 5 weeks. I'm on cycle day 11 ATM - got a peak opk today (normal for me as I have short cycles) so starting another tww and would love some support through it.

Does anyone on here take any supplements etc to try and prevent further miscarriages ? Can anyone advise me on anything I could take and also anything to help thicken the lining given my cycles are very short?

I hope everyone is doing well at their stage of cycle and congratulations to those that have their BFP!

Hi everyone. Does anyone have experience with ectopic or round ligament pain? I have had pain on my lower left side since last week when rolling over in bed. A sharp pain. The pain is a little sharper this week but I can feel it if I sneeze now or stand from sitting. If I press on the area its tender. It isn’t a constant pain. Should I be worried? X

@BEESY90 I had cramps mainly in my left side and turned out to be okay! But I'd go get it checked. When I was on the phone with them they said sharp pain is something we don't want! So go get it looked at
