I don't think I have everyone tagged so please pop yourselves in xx

Congratulations on the bfp’s such lovely news. I’m still in limbo no af and bfn x

Thank you @Bl0ndi3 @daisyorange and @Runnergirl1!

FYI, only thing we did different this month was PreSeed 🤔 Apart from folic acid and vitamin D I'm not on any particular diet and ate mostly a load of crap this month...so, so much cake 😆

@Runnergirl1aw no, how many DPO are you?

@scrambledeggy congratulations!! What a nice surprise!

@Pugprincess Sorry meant to message before. So glad your scan went ok. So will you be likely to have bleeding throughout the pregnancy?

Just had my cd2 bt results back. All lady on the phone said was that they were satisfactory. I don’t know what I was expecting, maybe a little more info but at least it means hormone levels are ok I guess? Got my internal scan on 15th Oct so will see what they say from that.

Had some pain and was sent for an early scan and I’m so worried. I’m measuring between 5.5-6 weeks (as expected) and they found a yolk sak and a baby however she told me that the heartbeat is lower than they’d like to see, could MC in next 2 weeks.. want me back for another scan in 2 weeks. I’m petrified 😩

Hi!

I've found the latest thread...I've just posted on an aug thread as I thought that was the latest!!Ignore that post of you see it, I can't work out how to delete it!

Lovely to see this group still going! Congrats on all the BFP's!! And good luck to all those trying.

Been away for a whole, lots going on. I'll have to try abs catch up with the thread too. Hope everyone is ok.

I got a BFP end of July, but for the 4th time, miscarried very beginning of August. This process is exhausting isn't it.

Spoke to the doctor again who changed our referral to Tommy's recurrent miscarriage clinic in Birmingham (obviously there is quite a wait with covid etc) but was hoping for something in October. The doctor also put me on 75mg aspirin and told us to just keep trying.

Beginning of September, low and behold, BFP! Quite clearly getting pregnant isn't our issue, just me keeping hold of it is :(

I was referred to EPU last week and the scan showed I was possibly 5-6 weeks rather 6+ as dates were showing (obviously with a loss the month before it's not as accurate on dates) had bloods and that was as nerve wrecking as before! Bloods were 8000 which the nurse thought were high for where I was showing, bloods 48 hours later showed over 18000! Finally bloods that are going the right way instead of decreasing. Have another scan tomorrow morning and I'm so nervous, just hope everything is ok.

It's been a long year trying and hopefully this is a case of 5th time lucky! X

@Littlebee1990 and @Sjk89 Congrats on being pregnant and sorry to hear about your rollercoaster rides! Try to hold onto the fact that for now, you ARE pregnant, and nobody can take that away from you until you (possibly) hear otherwise. Positive and strong mindset!

And @scrambledeggy yay! Well done and congratulations! 🤰

I'm in the boring gap between AF and FW, and faced with having to be in self-isolation from my OH during this month's FW. Yay 🙄 Yesterday out shopping, we saw a beautiful pregnant lady who looked fit to burst and it made that longing all the worse!

@scrambledeggy congratulations and thank you so much for posting. It’s lovely to hear such fabulous news but even better to hear the success stories. Keep us posted on your journey!

@Littlebee1990 you must be terrified. The same things happened to me with my DS (who is now a healthy bouncing 16 month old) we were also told to go back in 2 weeks where only then could they tell us whether it would be a viable pregnancy -5 7,5 weeks. I have to say it was the LONGEST and hardest two weeks of my life. It ended with good news but I wanted to share my same experience which could be the same for you. Be kind to yourself over the next couple of weeks and try to find a distraction- hard I know but you have to try. Sending you hugs. X

@Sjk89 congratulations and good luck with your pregnancy! X

@scrambledeggy currently 19dpo x

@Runnergirl1 so you’re 19 DPO - when is/was AF due? Have you tested? Xxx

@HappyVibes about a week ago. I know it may not sound long to some but the period after the Mmc was only a 33day cycle. This one had already passed that. Plus it’s my birthday on Monday and should of been in fertile window by then so maybe it’s that that’s stressing me, plus ewcm and a peak opk just seems strange x

Ah confusing. So have you tested recently? @Runnergirl1xxxx

@RichmondLady1981 so if you get a peak on CB but no peak on OPKs you haven't ovulated? Surely that can't be right. OPKs are so specific. It depends how much you've drunk, when you're testing etc. Surely one or the other is enough to go by?

Thank you @Wishingfornumber2 and @susiebluebell and @RichmondLady1981. I promise to keep you in the loop! Currently terrified that AF is coming after all, going to try and keep busy to distract myself.

I know what you mean about the very pregnant ladies @susiebluebell, I've ended up muting a lady I know on Facebook last week because she's really late on and looks so well and it was making me feel really unhealthily jealous!

Sorry to hear about all your past losses @Sjk89j , good luck with your scan. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and some relief from the anxiety.

Keeping you in my thoughts @Littlebee1990 , I think @RichmondLady1981 's advice to try and do nice things for yourself to occupy your mind sounds very wise.

@Runnergirl1 have you spoken to a GP? My cycles have recently been 66 and 42 days, so I really sympathise.

@haopy vibes. Yeah tested most days with the ic ones and did a cb yesterday and clear white x

@scrambledeggy no haven’t got that far yet. Might wait until Friday and give them a ring. I know miscarriage can throw them off but was really hoping not c

Ah @Runnergirl1 Maybe keep an eye on it until the end of the week & if no AF or BFP, then definitely ring the GP as they will then do bloods for you. Is this your first cycle post MC? Xxx

@chloedancer897 it’s confusing isn’t it ha? I’ve never had reason to doubt my CBD at all, always worked like clockwork for me. So I’m now so confused. Reading OPKs is helping me but my evening ones are so light, even after not drinking for 3 hours. Think it’s because I drank so much this morning/early afternoon as opposed to it being a low result. That’s why I like CBD for the FMU. Xxxx

@HappyVibes the month I got pregnant I used CBD. I DTD that day and for the next two days. So that's what I'm hoping for now 🤞🤞

@HappyVibes this is the first full one. So I had the bleed with mmc and and classed that as day 1. Then af arrived cd33. So this is the one after that x

Ah yeah @Runnergirl1 I Would deffo keep an eye on it & if no AF or BFP, then speak to GP babe. Remember that some of the women respond to blue/pink dye and not the others, so may be worth checking a diff style of test.

Yeah me too @chloedancer897 they worked a treat for us all the times we caught. Just this one month that’s thrown me.

Xxx

Literally my evening ones are rubbish ha I give up with the evening ones now ha.

I’m guessing my peak may come tomorrow morning...gunna ignore my CBD static as that would be over by now. Xx

@HappyVibes yeah thank you I will have to wait and see. It’s the creamy Cm that’s throwing me off too, I thought I would have been dry by now. Well I’ve tried clear blue and not a sniff of a second line and the cheap ic, so only frer left and they are so expensive to get a negative x

@chloedancer897 @HappyVibes yep that’s what happened. I’ll show you an example. And this is the month I fell pregnant just before the mmc. I fell pregnant in April this year and had the mmc end of June. If you look at the attached for my CB you will see that I went from a circle to a static smiley on Sunday 5th April. No flashes, straight to static. So the CB as you can see from the attachment told me I’d ovulated. I was using cheap OPKs at the time alongside the CB. I could see on the cheapie that it didn’t look dark enough so carried on using them. This was only cycle day 11 which I knew was early for me. The cheapies stayed faint and Then on Sat 11th April I got a peak on my cheap OPKs which was unmistakable. This was more like my usual time for my ovulation. As you can see we DTD on both dates just in case. I fell pregnant and tested positive 10DPO and interestingly, when my pregnancy was dated, it confirmed that ovulation must have been around 13th April. CB was definitely wrong on measuring my peak on this occasion, as the cheap strips were nowhere near dark enough. My temp didn’t go up over my cover line until 14.

It doesn’t happen often but it is possible for CB to get it wrong. If I’d have taken CBS word for alone, it I’d have missed the window. Always do a cheapie alongside and temp. 👍

Thank you so much for sharing that @RichmondLady1981 I am sure that this is literally what’s happening this cycle for us. So weird, but so thankful I’ve been using OPK alongside. Just now a question of when to DTD...we’ve done 3nights in a row at the moment & I think I’m coming down with something so could really do with an early night ha. Xxx
