[quote Lollol86]@ladysamee you may have implanted late, there's definitely a line there. Try leave it 2 days and test again. Is af due tomorrow? Xx[/quote]
AF due between today - Saturday.. I have irregular cycles so can't pin point a day xx

MichT4 · 18/08/2020 09:26

@ladysamee I'd say that's a positive test 🤞🏼. You can implant up to 12dpo so it just might not be such a strong line yet. If you can, I'd wait til maybe Thursday/Friday and do another. Looking good though!

@Pugprincess im sure that's what it is, but don't worry about being intimate. It doesn't hurt the baby so if you want to do it then you should. Just maybe one of those things that might cause some spotting xx

MichT4 · 18/08/2020 09:27

Let's have a look @Diorissimo1985 👀👀 xx

Rebecca1992 · 18/08/2020 09:28

@ladysamee Definitely a line! Test again in 2 days or so, hopefully you'll have a good progression x

Tink20058 · 18/08/2020 09:28

@Pugprincess we have dtd 3 times In 20 weeks 😱 twice I have spotted/ bled one was fairly bad bleeding, epu told me it’s because of your increased blood flow making the blood vessels enlarged that they can easily rupture and bleed /spot and not to worry unless passing clots and having pain it was too traumatic after that so agreed we would wait for a while xx

Pugprincess · 18/08/2020 09:30

Thank you for the reassurance @HappyVibes and @Lollol86 🤞🏻 It goes away again. Yes I did google a bit and even no penetration and just nip stimulation can cause contractions and stuff 🙈 feel stupid now cause I was so happy it was gone and my (trying to becareful) actions have probably put me back a step. Me and hubby feel like we are forbidden fruit to cause we said we wouldn’t do it 🙈 makes it worse 😅

@lollol86 my symptoms are up and down too. I’m not getting sickness or anything. I’ve either got used to heartburn or that’s lessened. My boobs are bigger and nips hurt a little but not loads. Bloated and get twitches, odd stabby pain. Still eating more like I feel some hunger. I dunno it is scary. How far are you now?

@ladysamee defo a line, try again tomorrow it’s still early mine were faint at 13dpo.

@Diorissimo1985 oooo good luck 🤞🏻

Pugprincess · 18/08/2020 09:33

@Tink20058 Ooya ok, thanks for that, I think we will wait too now until we feel ready to try again, see how things go. I’d like to see that baby is there and growing ok as last one stopped around 6+4 and my scan this time is around 6+5. We just hoped that not doing the full penetration would avoid the cervix and therefore avoid this spotting but clearly it doesn’t matter what you do 😕😩 xx

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 09:45

@Pugprincess I'm really tired but other than that nothing. I'm 4 weeks 3 days and most stuff says 6 weeks is when it generally all starts. With my 2 healthy pregnancies I had sickness and with my 2 mc I didn't. So I literally need the sickness to start xx

MrsK21 · 18/08/2020 09:46

@SmileyT @Northernsoul90 @VP91x @Pugprincess @MichT4 Thank you for reassurance and helping me feel better. Spotting seems to have lessened to "old blood" so I think it's just everything from the last 3 months working its way out. The cramps have died down too but still getting odd twinge so fingers crossed it's a proper new cycle.

@pugprincess sounds like maybe you've just irritated yourself down there after the fooling around and like someone else said, there's increased blood flow and it's more sensitive so set it off easier.
I shouldn't giggle but you had me giggling at "forbidden fruit" lol xxx

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 09:53

@HE88 Yes coQ10 is for egg and sperm quality, I got some but had a reaction to it but DH is taking 200mg a day. Xx

@Bl0ndi3 Sorry that this happened, something similar happened to me and quite a lot of other ladies on here it's so insensitive 😔.

I think the CB should be okay with smu - is there no way you could do the CB at 5? Or keep the fmu and dip it later? (Not sure how long you can leave it to stand for). I've always done FMU for CB but it does say once you get a flashy you can do them more regularly throughout the day I think. I never normally do because I drink loads and holding and doing opks starts to rule your life especially when ive had cycles with 10+ flashys. I do worry though in case I miss peak, why is it all so hard 😂🥴 xx

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 09:58

@ladysamee definitely a faint line - could be late implantation 🤞🏼🤞🏼 retest in a day or two xx

@Pugprincess Yes I agree with the other ladies, it will just be a case of increased blood flow/irritation but nothing to worry about it's fine to dtd during pregnancy. It's all such a worry isn't it xx

HE88 · 18/08/2020 09:59

@Northernsoul90 ah that's not great you took a reaction. What one is hubby using? Xx

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 10:05

So I am cd13 today and 3rd flashy this morning. I am starting to think have I missed picking ovulation up on opks because my temp dropped down to 36.11 yesterday from 36.27 the previous day and is now at 36.30 🤔. It could just be due to temperature changes or restless sleep though and usually I would get ovulation twinges which I haven't felt. Normally I ovulate on cd19/20 so to ovulate on cd12 would be really early for me - who knows though what's going on after mc.

I've been using cb opks and the lines look to be getting fainter on the stick to me not darker - anyone any experience of this? I know you're not supposed to read the lines technically. It's just hard knowing when to dtd - really hope I don't get loads of flashys poor DH will be exhausted 🤣 I'm scared to not do it on a flashy day though in case we get peak the next morning.

Pugprincess · 18/08/2020 10:07

@Lollol86 Yh I’m tired too. Dreading going back to school/work next week! I nap and laze around ALOT at the moment. I would like sickness too. I never got it last time either. I don’t think it’s full proof though, I googled and every preg diff and some women don’t get it. My friends sis in law has 2 girls and she didn’t get any symptoms throughout her pregnancies, just breezed on through. Girls are meant to make sickness worse too although that’s debated and some say it’s a myth. I swear I get brief moments of nausea but I feel like it’s cause I want it. I need to be throwing up a bit 😂

@MrsK21 😂 🍇 🍉 🍈🍆❌🚫
Glad you are feeling better too ❤️

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 10:08

@HE88 This is the one we got - the coQ10 supplements are very expensive, somebody else on here told me they were using these ones so I did the same as they are a cheaper option! They are 100mg so he just takes 2 a day.

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 10:11

@Pugprincess I know every pregnancy can be different but from my 4 pregnancies they have been very similar in regards to sickness b no sickness so I think of sickness comes it will help ease my mind xx

Pugprincess · 18/08/2020 10:12

@Northernsoul90 thanks 😊 I doubt you missed your peak yet, cause you get peak for a couple of days I think? Cause of the whole 12-36 hours egg released time. It’s probably mucking about. I’m not sure how reliable the temps are as I haven’t done them for a long time and didn’t stick with it cause I found it hard work. How’s your cm looking? X

ladysamee · 18/08/2020 10:14

Thanks ladies ☺️ I really do think that it may be an evap line though because I can't see any colour to the faint line xx

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 10:17

@Pugprincess @Lollol86 Hope you are both getting on okay and looking after yourselves! Try not to worry about the sickness I know people says it's a good sign but everyone really is different. With my last pregnancy I was horrendously sick, I couldn't get out of bed or stomach pretty much anything. My mc was a blighted ovum so baby had stopped developing way before any of my pregnancy symptoms started - it was the placenta still developing that was creating the sickness. I know it's hard not to panic and symptom spot but no one symptom can be a marker of a healthy pregnancy. My friend is also 8 weeks pregnant through IVF and has no symptoms at all and baby is developing perfectly - she's had a few scans through her fertility clinic. It's such an anxious time isn't it, I bet you both can't wait for your scans. Try and be kind to yourselves and focus on the positives - there's no reason to think that baby isn't safely tucked up and developing nicely ❤️

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 10:21

@Lollol86 Just read your message about your other pregnancies, it is still very early yet as well you may start to develop sickness around the 6/7 week mark xx

@Pugprincess CM is quite milky, wet but no EWCM yet. This might be a really stupid question but how do you find your cervix, as in know what it feels like? I've never checked my cervix before xx

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 10:22

@Northernsoul90 I know you are right it's just so hard isn't it. Im trying to stay positive and I am still so early but I don't even have sore boobs which I have at this stage before. I just want to be at 12 weeks already 😂. I just need to think my rainbow baby is going to be here in 8 months time 🌈🤞🏻 xx

Lollol86 · 18/08/2020 10:23

@Northernsoul90 that's the other problem I can't remember when I started feeling and being sick with last pregnancies so it may well have been 6-8 weeks xx

Hayley19835 · 18/08/2020 10:23

Morning all hope everyone is well 😊

So today's the day we get OH further test results looking into his low count 😬 counting down the hours until we get our phone consult!

Northernsoul90 · 18/08/2020 10:33

@Lollol86 It really is, I would be exactly the same even with my last experience. You just desperately want to be at that 12 week mark. It will come though and you will have your rainbow baby in your arms 🌈💖 pma all the way xx

kittycat581 · 18/08/2020 10:34

Hi, I’m new to this so bear with me-this is my story.....

Got married in August 2019 (1st Anniversary next Monday) and we started trying to get pregnant as soon as we got back from honeymoon. I’m 38 so didn’t expect it to be quick! Got a positive test result in June and we were over the moon!! At the end of July I went along (on my own, stupid coronavirus 🤬) got the 12 week scan and was told I was only 6 weeks. I knew we hadn’t got the dates wrong as we’d been so careful. A week later I went back again for another scan to see if anything had changed - it hadn’t. I’d had a missed miscarriage. Home again for another week to see if my body would catch up and expel the ‘product’. It didn’t. So yesterday I had the medical intervention and this morning I am trying to get my head around it all been over.

I’m kinda done with the tears and all that and now I just want to move forward and start trying again! But it’s hard to work out when we can and what we should wait for etc!

Anyway, hoping to get some insight from this so thanks for the thread! x
