@SunnydazeQ I’m 1dpo - stuck to SMEP and I’m exhausted lol. I hoped my positive opk would have been sooner this month after having the acupuncture and herb but I guess that’s still early days. Seems to be exactly the same as last month so at least there’s a pattern. I’m just wishing the days away already! How are you? X

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 09:25

@Dogmum13
3rd month this time. 2nd month in may which ended mc in Aug. Feeling very anxious about it. If you have been trying a while , give acupuncture a go with someone who specialises in fertility. I tried evening primrose oil this time x

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 09:26

@SunnydazeQ
No i didnt 🤣 he will be glad he can have a few more beers 🤪
I still cant get too excited cos last one ended in mc but its a positive step for us , just got everything crossed !! Xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 10/12/2020 10:12

Wooohoooo @MgW1 !!! Amazing news!! Be excited! Each pregnancy is new and no reason why this one should end in mc. So pleased for you 🤗🤗🤗xx

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 10:27

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Thank you , i shall keep trying to think that. Might arrange a private early reassurance scan providing i get that far , il try to relax and think positive 🙏🥰 xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 10/12/2020 10:32

@MgW1 exactly! Private scans are good for reassurance but in my experience I'd hold off until you're 8 weeks if poss, as I went at 6.5weeks and it was actually more concerning than reassuring. Then back at 7.5weeks to follow up and it wasn't until just over 8weeks that they could see everything clearly and that was with internal scan each time. Anyway see how you feel. And good luck for the rest of your pregnancy! Xx

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 10:36

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Thank you so much. Id recommend epo , worth a bash xx

TheHC · 10/12/2020 11:36

Huge congrats @MgW1 looks like a BFP to me! 🥳🥳

TTCbabytattie · 10/12/2020 11:36

I'm out.

Sunflowers81 · 10/12/2020 11:56

I'm sorry @TTCbabytattie, sending lots of hugs. Take some time to do something lovely for yourself today. Xx

Sunflowers81 · 10/12/2020 12:04

Hey @SunnydazeQ, how are you?
Thank you for checking in!
I’ve had big sore boobs too, a couple of headaches, and some cramps, which were slightly different to af cramps. More of a heavy full feeling in my lower abdomen, and sometimes a mild cramping stretching feeling.
I’m anxious that my lines don’t seem much darker as I’ve been testing every day 🙈.

@MgW1 which tests did you use? I saw you had two for £5, which were they and where from?

@Cienega how are you?

And @gracie2307, how are you?

@SRyellow don't worry, your TWW will fly by as it's the run up to Christmas xx I am off for an ultrasound shortly to see what's been causing my heavy periods. My GP thinks it could be fibroids so I'm hoping it's that and nothing more serious 🙈 Also could be what's been causing my miscarriages but we'll see. Apparently pregnancy hormones makes them worse so my theory is when I got pregnant in Sep this could have aggregated it/them as I've never experienced symptoms and the cramps, particularly last month were terrible.

SunnydazeQ · 10/12/2020 12:13

@MgW1 I totally agree with @BubsNumber2inTheMaking try not to think about the previous MC. I watched a video of a lady who suffered miscarriages and she said the one thing she learnt and advise anyone is to enjoy each pregnancy. Otherwise those anxieties steal your joy from you. I know it's easier said than done but try to focus on the future, your big round belly and a little bubba smiling at you after 9 months ❤ Maybe some meditation will help xx

@Sunflowers81
Go onto amazon and order the first response tests. They were £5.09 for 2 last night xx

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 12:14

@Sunflowers81
Id refrain from testing tomoz and wait for FRER to arrive. Also just test once using first morning urine xx

SunnydazeQ · 10/12/2020 12:17

@Sunflowers81 oh don't worry and don't forget HCG rises every 2 days so might be best to test every other day if you want to track your lines. Hooray for symptoms though, positive signs lovely and hope they are not too bad 🤗

Ladies just back from my ultrasound and I'm so happy I could cry! The sonographer said everything looks fine, my uterus is completely clear and my ovaries and follicles look normal 🙌

I do have 1 fibroid but it's outside my womb which is where you want it to be if you have one. She said it's small and is not an issue for TTC. It also had no impact on my miscarriage; however it is the reason for my recent painful period. She was so friendly, respectful and seemed like she genuinely care and when she heard I had the miscarriage, she suggested the transvaginal ultrasound. So now I know things look good on the inside and have a reason for the painful period, I'm so relieved and happy. 😄

Well today I'm 11dpo, negative test today and I have spotting. Thinking af will be here in a day or 2. Absolutely gutted :(

Sunflowers81 · 10/12/2020 14:40

@Dreamer30 I'm so sorry to hear that, sending you a big hug.
Do something lovely for yourself, and next month will be your month! A 2021 baby for you!

Sunflowers81 · 10/12/2020 14:42

@SunnydazeQ yippeee this is amazingggg!
I bet you are over the moon!
I have one fibroid too, in the muscle of my uterus, and I was over the moon when my specialist said it wouldn't impact a pregnancy!
I had one before which did but that's been removed now.
Yayyyyy, so excited for you! It's so good to know that everything looks great! 🎉 xx

Dreamer30 · 10/12/2020 14:54

@sunflowers81 thanks lovely x

Lottiebugz22 · 10/12/2020 14:55

I'm 5dpo ttc for number 2! Smile

SunnydazeQ · 10/12/2020 16:51

@Sunflowers81 such a relief!! Also when she said my ovaries and follicles looked good, I almost cried lol Does yours bother you at all?

MgW1 · 10/12/2020 20:05

@SunnydazeQ
Good news 😊 you will get there soon and this is the ressurance you need xx

Sunflowers81 · 10/12/2020 21:09

@SunnydazeQ it did a couple of years ago, I just constantly bled, but I was going through a mega stressful time and not looking after myself. As soon as that time was over, and I took good care of myself, it all settled down. I do have heavy painful periods on day 1 and 2, with clots, but that's all! You mentioned yours gives you painful periods? X
