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

Anyone else that would also like to join please do, we are a supportive bunch💜xx

@Jazper I'm sorry for you too. It seems incredibly difficult :(
@MSG92 me too! That sounds ideal...
@Chickoletta thank you.
I am just frustrated because as a healthy 21 year old... I shouldn't be having issues

@chloedancer897 I haven't bothered to do a pregnancy test. I haven't had bright red blood and no clots so I know I still am, I just feel like the levels are falling. Does anyone know how long it takes at my gestation for the levels to fall enough to illicit a miscarriage. This slow progression is just agony, both emotionally and mentally.
@Tink20058 thank you. Was yours a slow progression? Clutching at straws here that someone will just say 'it will happen in X number of days' 😣

@Jazper it might be nothing. Would your GP even do hcg bloods?

@Jazper mine started like a period then started passing clots it lasted around 5 or 6 days all together, I did have bleeding early with my current pregnancy it was around the time my period would have been due and everything is ok so keep positive 🤞🤞🤞 xxx

@chloedancer897 the GP has booked me in for bloods tomorrow, but only booked me in for one lot? Won't I need a repeat appointment two days later? Or Monday seeing as it will be over the weekend?

Thanks @Tink20058 , mines on and off, wiping completely clean sometimes. I've started with lower back pain today though. Nothing of it feels right. Thanks for sharing what happened with you though x

Guys. Just as I thought I was done for this month and was in for my tww... My opks gave a surprise.. Static smiley on CB and true LH surge. Weirdly enough my bbt dropped from my usual last night and I was googling if that happens post ovulation..
Guess me and DH aren't relaxing yet!!! 😳

Ah that’s more like it @Furbsies i am so glad you carried on testing! Xx

@HappyVibes I'm excited for this. Although DH is absolutely exhausted already.. 😂

@Furbsies that’s probably the darkest LH line I’ve ever seen! Keep going with the BDing 😆 x

@Jazper so sorry ur going through this :( oh it brings back to many memories of epu refusing to see me at all through my loses unless I was haemorrhaging:( but lockdown isn’t a tight atm... so many just show up and as @VP91x says exaggerate a bit and make them see u. Living in limbo is horrible

@MichT4 glad Ava has picking up ur changes I’m still on looking every now and again hoping for ur big BFP!

@chloedancer897 draw a line under it and try and enjoy life again. Don’t use contraception and have sex whenever without trying. You never know.. our bodies are so strange and stress and cortisol levels can be a big part in fertility issues especially if ur not getting any other answers

@Pugprincess are u going to find out? I have been using a Doppler at home just to hear his heart beat to keep me reassured until I feel his proper kicks. I’ve an anterior placenta so it’s kicks are masked a bit

Oh my daughter wasn’t too happy to begin with hahha I could see it on her face but she’s happy now and we got a teddy made with baby’s heart beat in it so she brings it to bed with her

Hi all,I had my appointment at the clinic Monday my ultrasound scan has come back fine no fibroids/cysts etc. Ovaries look healthy too, my husbands sperm analysis has come back as normal too. So that’s positive news. My progesterone results for last month were negative so hasn’t confirmed ovulation. I’m 100% it was the vitamins I took and think they messed with my cycle. I’m on CD7 now so this is going to be the first month we start TTC again. Anyone else on a similar CD? Ooh also thought I’d mention my GP has said the cheap ovulation tests work just as well as the clearblue ovulation tests/ the more expensive ones. I won’t stop me from using both though 😂 x

@2020wish please please please don't use a Doppler for reassurance. If you're ever worried, call your obstetric unit. Those Dopplers can pick up a maternal heart beat and double it because it mistakes the maternal heartbeat for a fetal one. They also pick up placental noises and mistake them for a heart beat.

I'm glad she came round to the idea of having a brother. My daughter was the same at first but they're inseparable and have been since day one ❤️

@Furbsies you use the same tests as me, I got my peak today too, but it still says ovulation yesterday, which it wasn't as I'm way higher today than yesterday, can you change it manually?

@RichmondLady1981 haha I felt the same. As soon as I had dipped it, it was so bright within seconds

@msg92 you can manually change it, if you swipe towards left on the actual test you can mark it as high or peak etc. You can even change the actual shade markers yourself.

I let the app decide for me. I'll test tomorrow again and if levels go down I'll let you know if it automatically picks it up for me

Thanks @Furbsies I just thought mine wouldn't say 1DPO seeing as my levels are nearly double today than what they were yesterday, threw me off!

@msg92 I'd say keep dtding every other day in that case. And hopefully it works out. I didn't get a peak before this one so I decided to continue dtding every other day just in case opks missed it

@Furbsies we must be same place in cycles! Both had peaks today hopefully. I get what you mean, I am so fed up with DTD- 6 times in the last 7 days, got to again tonight and tomorrow as well, eeeeergh

@chloedancer897 thank you for the advice but don’t worry I’m a nurse and also trained in dopplers :) so I know the difference between me and baby and placenta and movement xx

@2020wish were having a surprise! My nephew didn’t take the news well either! He says he doesn’t want to be a big cousin 😅😩 hes the only child in the family though. I started feeling flutters that last a few seconds but I haven’t today so now I’m scared, I’ve felt odd bits but I like the longer ones as I know that’s def baby and not muscles twitching, although I don’t think my muscles ordinarily twitch this often in the same area I’ve felt flutters. I know it’s early for me so trying to tell myself not to expect it all the time yet but still I’m freaking out as I lady I work with has just lost hers at 17 weeks after attending a scan due to concern as she hadn’t felt baby move for awhile. It had stopped developing at 15 weeks 😔

Hello everyone 👋 sorry I’ve been completely awol these last couple of weeks for a couple of reasons: work has been manic, working 16hrs every day and on weekends, sleeping 3/4hours every day so no temping, no time for dtd, had my birthday getaway for a weekend which was lovely, have been eating crap, no gym or running and drinking wine lol! On top of that my mum fell backwards last weekend when attempting to take off curtains, she’s now in hospital with broken ribs 🙈 so there’s been a lot going on. I haven’t caught up properly but thought I’d say hi! How are you all @VP91x @HappyVibes @MichT4 @Northernsoul90 @chloedancer897
Congrats to @2020wish and @familybythesea great news about your BFPs 💖
I’m cd17 today and did OPKS last two days. I’m hoping / expecting peak any day now as it’s usually cd17/18/19. Dtd for the first time in ages yesterday and will continue for the next four days. Hubby is going to see his family in India but I told him he’s not allowed to go before he’s impregnated me lol! So he’ll go after FW and come back after my TWW lol xxx

Ah wow that does sound like a very busy time @Firevie I feel like I need to breath just after reading all you’ve been up to. At least it’s been keeping you occupied away from TTC for a while which is good.

Ah that’s exciting that you’re heading into your FW & will be all covered in that before your partner travels.

I’m currently 5DPO so just waiting out now for us at this end.

💓💓💓

@HappyVibes yay to your TWW! Fingers crossed!!! Only couple more days!! Remind me are you waiting for your first baby? Xxx

@Firevie
I’m going to try and wait out until next Saturday where I’ll be 15DPO - I say try obvs haha.

Aww that’s so lovely of you to ask. Yes we are TTC bambino numero uno. It fills my heart with so much happiness & beautiful feelings at the thought of being pregnant again, and the thought of actually holding and caring for our baby just absolutely melts me.

Hoping that this is our month for our lil magical joy. My husband saw a double rainbow the other day & took a photo and it just feels like such a sign. I’ve also seen double or repetitive numbers consistently for a few weeks - like literally so much; laptop, emails, clock, TV, timers. Which is meant to be a sign of guardian angels which brings lots of comfort. We shall see. 😊

How about you lovely; are you already a Mamma or are you TTC your first baby? 💙💓

@Firevie wow that sounds exhausting!!! At least you've been keeping busy, must help take your mind off TTC a little. We DTD last night, 6 days out of 7, last time tonight hopefully. I said the DH last night it feels like a chore, he took offence initially until I explained its because we HAVE to do it not because we want to, I think my legs were starting to complain last night as well haha. I'm CD10 today, ovulated 2 days later this month than normal.

I don't know why but I've been feeling super positive about this month, but I keep telling myself to stop so it isn't as hard if AF arrives :/

@HappyVibes ah what a beautiful sentiment and seeing so many signs! I’ve not noticed anything this time round because I’ve had my nose up in work haha! It’s our first as well so I’m obv super eager to finally be a mama! After I posted this morning I did a cb test and got my static smiley on cd17 which is a day or so earlier than usual! Yay! We will dtd today maybe this afternoon and we did last night and we will keep going for the next three days so hopefully should be covered.
@MSG92 lol totally fell you I’m tired already and it’s only one day after dtd lol! Totally agree with you I feel this will be a good month for us! Have you got kids already or are you trying for your first? Xxx
