@Sunflowers81
Hi , i have had v.mild spotting last night. How are you doing? Any more spotting ? Trying to keep calm! Easier said than done! X

Sunflowers81 · 15/12/2020 09:56

Hey @MgW1 has it stopped now?

I know exactly how you feel, yes I have spotting too, light pink when I wipe, so I put a pantry liner in and it's sometimes a bit orangish on there.
When I see it I panic, but there is nothing we can do at all. It is most likely the little pregnancy settling in to it's new home, and our bodies are adjusting.
The cramps have stopped for me now mostly, but my boobs are sore and bigger.
I've also been having some anxiety and nausea! Surely 4.5 weeks is far too early for nausea? I think it's just anxiety causing it!
How are you feeling? Xx

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 09:59

@Sunflowers81
Im not great , I think mine is more than spotting, its like the start of my period 😔 xx

Sandiesands · 15/12/2020 10:13

Hey all

Can i jump on your festive bus, im currently on cycle 6 TTC for 1st. Currently 9dpo havent tested yet, the longest I've ever gone lol 😆

I have no symtoms at all beside from a lower abdomen discomfort more like pressure. So hoping to have an early xmas present xx ❤

I hope the spotting in IB finger's crossed and lots of baby dust xx 😘

Lottiebugz22 · 15/12/2020 10:17

I've got an addiction to taking pregnancy tests 😂 I took one this morning 10DPO negative! I felt a tugging feeling right behind my previous c section scar in the middle yesterday mid morning and I feel nauseous this morning. Thats why I tested again.

Sunflowers81 · 15/12/2020 11:46

Hey @MgW1, some bleeding can happen, my friend didn't realise she was pregnant as she thought she had had her period, then a couple of weeks later wasn't feeling well so did a test, which was positive! Her son is 16 months old now.
Sending you really big hugs, you need all the strength and calmness right now.

TheHC · 15/12/2020 12:02

Hi All, I’m out for this round AF reared it’s head 2 days earlier than usual this morn 😢 at least I can relax now over Xmas! can anyone recommend a good OPK?

SparkyLauz · 15/12/2020 13:50

Hi girls I'm off the Festive Bus unfortunately AF came at the weekend so I guess that's me hopping onto the January 2021 Bus 😢

TheHC · 15/12/2020 14:28

@SparkyLauz I’ll see you on the Jan bus! 😊 and now we can have a relaxing Christmas!

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 15/12/2020 16:37

Hope you're ok @MgW1 xx

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 18:18

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Hi yes I am fine. G.P has referred me for a scan and I have to have a blood test just to check everything is ok. I think I will get preg again its just whether it will stick!! Had heavy bleeding and horrific cramps today 😔. Going to try again this month but only 2 -3 times when the time is right cos want to just relax , enjoy xmas with the children we have , i have a lot to be greatful for. It is disappointing though but onwards and upwards xxx how are you? Are you officially late yet? Xx

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 15/12/2020 18:29

@MgW1 oh I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you've absolutely got the right attitude and are doing all the right things. Hopefully a scan will put your mind at rest and you'll get a sticky bean on the next cycle. 🤞🤞🤞 Have you had bloods done before? I read that if progesterone levels are low it can cause early pregnancies to fail, so it's great you're getting that checked as very easily treated if so. Or it may simply be your body is still recovering. My cycles have been weird since my mc and I've no idea if this bean will be a sticky. I haven't even missed my period yet - due Friday 😬 What a fucker of a year 2020 is. Looking forward to seeing the back of it, that's for sure. Xxx

Katiecorn · 15/12/2020 18:31

@MgW1 I'm sorry to hear what you're going through, I hope you are ok. Xx

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 18:39

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
I think I was still recovering tbh. I will see when the scan is and how I get on with that. It obviously wasnt meant to be and glad its happened now after what I went through last time!
Maybe a few wines over xmas may help i think !! I was intoxicated when I conceived my 2 children and I think wine did it for you this month too 😬 my kids have turned out fine!! Il cut right down post ovulation but for tonight .... im having a large glass of prosecco 😘

Great attitude. Hope you feel better soon x

BubsNumber2inTheMaking · 15/12/2020 18:49

YES to that @MgW1 Blimin enjoy it. Life is far too short. And although I'm obviously not pro-drinking once pregs, a few glasses whilst ttc is absolutely fine! It even probably helps as it can make you relaxed and happy 🙌 I also read that until there is a placenta, food and drink won't really effect bubs (no idea if this is true but I like it and makes sense in my head!). Xxx

Lottiebugz22 · 15/12/2020 19:07

I'm so sorry to keep posting on this thread but me and my DP are having a debate over this pregnancy test result. He sees a 'faint line' but I only see 1 line a negative result. I don't know what he's seeing. What do you lot think?

Sunflowers81 · 15/12/2020 19:16

@Lottiebugz22 I can't see a second line yet, how many days post ovulation are you? Is your period late? You don't need to apologise for posting again, that's what we are here for!

Oh @MgW1 I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending you a big hug. You have an amazing attitude. Keep us posted with what your doctor says (if you want to). Xx

Katiecorn · 15/12/2020 19:17

So guys i must have jinxed myself AF has literally just reared her ugly head 😒. Hopefully better luck next time xx

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 19:18

@BubsNumber2inTheMaking
Yes I have read that too and its a good thing because some people dont realise they are preg til they are a couple of weeks late. I am going to try and hold off testing early in future although i know it is ridiculously hard im going to try xx

Thank you sunflowers81 😊
Only 10DPO but lot's of period symptoms! Keep feeling like my period is about to begin.

Awww Katiecorn 💐 hope you're okay. It's so disappointing isn't it.

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 19:22

@Sunflowers81
The doc has referred me for a pelvic scan to make sure its all clear ,.no polyps or fibroids etc and then a blood test to check thyroid as I have had 2 mc in a row now. I hope all is ok and it just one of those things that happens more to older mums, bound to catch a good egg eventually?! 🤔 xx

MgW1 · 15/12/2020 19:26

@Katiecorn
Enjoy some xmas booze. We may be cycle buddies now 🤣 xx

Tara1711 · 15/12/2020 19:49

Ladies I am just looking for some advice as I really don’t have a great deal of knowledge on the ttc subject! If I ovulated late does it mean my period would be due later? On average my cycles are 31 days, if ovulation was on CD 27 would it be expected that AF won’t be due yet? Hope that makes sense, I’m driving myself crazy here! Xx

Dogmum13 · 15/12/2020 20:08

@Tara1711 yes if I ovulate later than normal, I usually have a longer cycle.

That's me out for this month. Onto cycle #14 🤦‍♀️
