@jec1983 the photo was taken about 8 mins after but it came up within about 3/4 mins I’m just so bloody anxious !! It’s definitely a progression from yesterday (my there not really there line 😂) xx

@Hopefulmummie
My period was usually a bag on 29 days cycle and my period was a week late after my mc.
I had loads of cramping etc but it never arrived then I just woke up one morning and it was there!

Me and my oh where talking about the "baby making plan" in January last night and his reply "we will just do it every day until we get pregnant" ConfusedConfusedConfusedConfused! Hmmm....maybe not.....we have been ttc for 18months so I am so fed up of sex.

Big love to anyone whose struggling today....Xxxx

bez91 · 01/01/2021 11:02

@SophW194 I can see a super faint line too 😊

@elsimo men's rationales aren't as complex as women's are they 🤦🏼‍♀️ I hope you get your BFP soon 🤞🏼

lillg · 01/01/2021 11:32

Happy new year all. I hope 2021 brings us all what we want.
@SophW194 you can't blame yourself for last time. There is no way vaccuming can cause a miscarriage. I do see a very faint line!

PumpkinEverything · 01/01/2021 11:37

I see the faint line @SophW194 😊😊😊😊 super exciting start to 2021 for you! Keep testing and I’ve all fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Happy new year everyone! I hope this year is filled with lots of babies ❤️

bubblybrit · 01/01/2021 11:54

Happy New Year everyone 😀!

I’m due to do a pregnancy test this weekend as it will have been three weeks since my miscarriage. Hoping it shows negative but it seems from PP that it may take longer than 3 weeks.

Then the next hurdle is waiting on AF showing up.

I’m finding today a little tough as it isn’t the start to the new year that I planned. However, I’m trying to remain positive....onwards and upwards!

NatNoo96 · 01/01/2021 12:03

@SophW194 I can definitely see a faint line there! How exciting!

Hanbanxx · 01/01/2021 12:10

@Hopefulmummie I had my miscarriage on 29th November and still waiting on my period. I ovulated on 24th December so I'm currently 8DPO, period estimated for 7th January xx

@elsimo when we got the letter through for oh to do his sperm analysis, it said to have had sex within the last 7 days - but not 3days before giving the sample (which made me think that maybe that yeilds the best swimmers?) I also read a study from Switzerland that was fairly extensive (over 12,000 samples) and they found the samples that were given from men between 5am and 7:30am had the most swimmers/best shape although motility wasn’t affected. So this fertile week my poor oh will be woken up very early 😂

PumpkinEverything · 01/01/2021 13:33

Hope you get a negative @bubblybrit 😊 I still had a faint line yesterday at 3 weeks two days. Going to try another on Sunday or Monday and I’m really hoping it’s negative as I don’t want to go back to the hospital 😔
Not the year we wanted, but let’s just take each month at a time and our time will hopefully come soon!

Very interesting @Bellabubble I suppose it’s not a bad way for them to be woken up 😂

bubblybrit · 01/01/2021 14:00

@PumpkinEverything. Fingers crossed you get a negative over the next few days and that a hospital visit isn’t needed. Yes I’m trying to stay positive but feel a bit low today. Hopefully it will be our time soon like you say 😀

SophW194 · 01/01/2021 14:23

Thanks @lillg, I find it’s so hard not to blame yourself, like I keep thinking I also stretched up to get some plates down from above my head and feel guilty about that too but I keep telling myself these things usually happen cos the baby is too poorly ☹️. That’s why I’d rather know sooner so I can make sure I’m super super safe like last night my 6 year old asked me to carry him but I said he’s too heavy ☹️. But then I’m panicking that if I’m testing too early there’s a big chance things could go wrong again at this early stage 😣.

I did a 5 hour hold and a supermarket sweep (didn’t realise quite how many shops are shut on New Year’s Day so couldn’t get a frer) and these are the results..xx

@SophW194 eeeeek can definitely see one on the Clear Blue! Xx

PumpkinEverything · 01/01/2021 15:31

Can definitely see a line on the clear blue @SophW194 😊😊

Mumof1ttc · 01/01/2021 15:32

@SophW194 definitely see a line on the clear blue and the bottom pink one 🤞

SophW194 · 01/01/2021 15:40

Eeek !! Now I’m just really nervous that either my eyes were tricking me and I never saw a negative pt before ovulation oorrr that something might go wrong again 😣☹️😕 just have to see how things go over the next few days. Not going to tell hubby for a few days yet I think !

How’s everyone else doing ? Anyone due to test soon ? Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone !! Xx

RS2609 · 01/01/2021 15:57

I’ve started my two week wait today so keeping everything crossed!

M4v3r1ck · 01/01/2021 18:00

Happy new year ladies!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘

Congratulations to those with BFPs!!! 😍😍😍 Here's hoping for lots more healthy and happy pregnancies this year!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Here's hoping AF arrives soon for those of us waiting so we can get back TTC!!! This is probs TMI, but anyone else frustrated as hell with MC bleeding and not being able to DTD! 🙈🙈🙈 I think that's also contributing to my moments of negativity/panic/anxiety about the future! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also, anyone use pregnacare, either for themselves and their partner, or both? I usually take folic acid and sometimes vitamin D separately, but wondering if anyone would recommend those? 🤔

susiebluebell · 01/01/2021 18:32

@M4v3r1ck I'm sure you know this already, but if your MC bleeding has stopped then you're free to dtd. I understand the frustration 😉

@RS2609 I'm in my tww too! Good luck!

@SophW194 Like the others, I can see faint lines on your tests, which is brilliant news! I know I can't really talk because I'm going to be an anxious wreck when it eventually happens for me, but you really really really can't trigger a miscarriage by doing normal life stuff, even housework or exercise. I've read up about it a lot because I want to keep exercising during TTC and pregnancy, and you're completely right about most miscarriages being due to problems with the embryo. Honestly unless you're getting tackled by a rugby team and having blunt force trauma directly to your womb then it's not going to be that! Babies are tucked way up inside us with loads of protection from our bodies. Hope this helps xx completely understand the worry

Hanbanxx · 01/01/2021 19:53

@RS2609 @susiebluebell I'm in the two week wait too! My period is estimated on 7th and this will be my first since my miscarriage at the end of November. I'm really worried that I won't be pregnant but that my period won't come and there'll be a longer delay! I've seen too many people have this issue lately that I'm scaring myself! Xx

RS2609 · 01/01/2021 19:57

@Hanbanxx @susiebluebell I’ll be thinking of you both. This is also my first since miscarrying in December. I think I should be due around 13/14th but who knows what my body will decide to do for this first cycle. Would so love to get a BFP but don’t want to get my hopes up! x

susiebluebell · 01/01/2021 20:05

@Hanbanxx @RS2609 Yep I'm due on Fri 8th and it can't come soon enough! My stupid last cycle has put me right off my 'wait and see' attitude - this time I'm testing as soon as I'm due! Everything crossed for my tww buddies xx

PumpkinEverything · 01/01/2021 20:24

I was the same @M4v3r1ck it took 2.5 weeks or so before my bleeding stopped. And it wasn’t even proper bleeding, just stupid brown spotting or very very small brownish gushes. Very frustrating but it finally stopped on Christmas Day! (I had my surgery on the 8th dec) and it just stopped completely and that was it.
I’m taking pregnacare just for myself. I took it before and then felt like it was giving me brain fog so swapped to seven seas mid cycle. That was the cycle I got pregnant (after a 45 day cycle) so could have been because of that but I’m not sure. It gets great reviews but mentions of peoples cycle being longer so I have no idea if mine is because of that. I’m taking it again now anyway, since I found out I would miscarry because I have 3 boxes of it and it’s not that cheap!

SophW194 · 01/01/2021 20:25

@susiebluebell ah I just meant dinner plates from the cupboard above my head but that does actually really help cos like you say, people can exercise safely so surely me doing the housework or whatever is safe enough..just need to convince myself that ☺️🙃

Good luck everybody in their tww- it is agonisingly long isn’t it ! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Xx
