Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

@gizmo167 fantastic news, congratulations. Hope you are feeling okay? Fingers crossed this one is your sticky little one 🙏

Fantastic @gizmo167 really pleased for you, just take one day at a time 💕

@SamBass I agree with @susiebluebell just relax and have a good time, nothing could be absorbed by any new embryo due to no umbilical cord 😊

Thanks all i will re test and try to relax although i have a-lot of cramps today, had them all week but slightly worse today so expecting AF in next few days!
@gizmo167 i have everything crossed for you.

Congratulations @gizmo167!!! @SamBass are you testing again this morning? Everything crossed for you! Is anyone else testing this weekend? I am trying to hold out til my AF is late but it’s so difficult and I’m symptom spotting like mad!

@Loulou237. AF was due any point between Monday and today. Was going to hold out until Saturday but I’m sooo tempted to test early! I’ve had cramps from Saturday that keep coming and then completely disappearing which is unusual for me when AF is on its way. I usually get cramps pretty constant for a day or two before AF so making me optimistic. Probably overly so which isn’t always a good thing. Only problem is that the test wouldn’t be with fmu so now not sure whether it’s best to wait until tomorrow? Symptom spotting is driving me crazy at the moment as well! Good luck when you decide to test x

@bubblybrit oh that all sounds like a good sign! I really hate that all the symptoms are the same as AF symptoms. Have you had many cycles since your MC? This is my first cycle since so haven’t even had an AF yet. Makes it even more annoying as don’t know when to expect it really! I’ve also had cramps on and off but as I had a D&C and not had one before I can’t trust them to be one or the other if that makes sense. If I were you I’d wait til tomorrow or if you really can’t wait I guess you could hold it for a few hours and not drink much?! Good luck and let me know how you get on!

@Loulou237. This is my 4th cycle after my mmc although we took a little break TTC so technically only cycle 2 of actively trying. I will try and hold off until tomorrow. Super busy at work today so might be a good distraction? I’m holding on to the thought of being pregnant so will either be an extreme high or extreme low....think I’d just rather know one way or the other so part of me wants to hold and test later this morning. So confused! I’ve no experience of d&c but I hope all your symptoms results in a BFP 😀

@bubblybrit yes distraction is definitely the way to go! I know what you mean I hate the waiting game and not knowing for sure. Thanks, you too, fingers crossed! Xxx

@Loulou237 yeah i tested again this morning there is a faint positive again but I can't tell if its any lighter than Mondays i don't think its any darker though. Im so confused. Ive had really bad cramps all week and back pain too
Got everything crossed for your testing please let us know how you get on.

Well I caved and tested this morning given AF due today but getting BFN. Didn’t use fmu but would have thought that I’d at least have gotten a squinter if I was pregnant. Still getting twinges which is unusual for me when AF is on the way but guess I need to get used to the fact that AF is likely around the corner!

@SamBass have you got pics of the two next to each other?
Nooooo @bubblybrit it doesn’t necessarily mean you’re out at all, say you implanted late you might have a small amount of hcg and not using fmu will have a massive effect on it! You’re not out til AF shows

@Loulou237 i obviously threw Mondays away but ive managed to put both pictures together. Top one is Mondays

@SamBass it definitely looks darker to me

@SamBass what about if u just got a normal test (like an Asda one u got ur negative) and then if u get a positive on that then u know it's defo a new pregnancy?

@Loulou237 you really think so? Sometimes im like yeah its darker than other times im like no its not. I just keep thinking shouldn't it be darker by now if its a new pregnancy ??

@elsimo I've thought about that but think im scared of it showing negative again 😞 i think its the best thing to do though so i might get one at weekend

@SamBass yeah the negative tests are hard to take but at least u would know. I'm pretty sure it's a new pregnancy.

I'm 9dpo here - get my 21 day bloods back tommorow. Feeling very tired and very grumpy which is standard each month really.
I have no tests in the house and not going to bother as my cycle has been all over the place so not sure when my period should actually come 🙈
Maybe will test in June if I don't have a period by then lol.

@Loulou237. I knew I shouldn’t have tested today. Especially in the absence of fmu! I’ll test again at the weekend if AF doesn’t appear x

@SamBass theres def a line, I would try another test too, just to see!

@bubblybrit this is why I don’t keep tests in the house! see how long you can leave it definitely. What kind of test did you use too?

@Loulou237. I don’t know what got into me this morning as I used Acutest which was from local convenience store. I always use a FRER and have always waited for fmu...no idea what possessed me today. Think I’m having a stressful week at work with a poorly 2 year old and just wanted some good news lol 😂 x

@bubblybrit Ah bless you, at least you know you’re still in the running! Fingers crossed for you tomorrow let me know how you get on xx

Yes hope you also receive some good news 😀 xx @Loulou237 xx

Thank you @elsimo @gizmo167

Its just whether its old or new hormones!
If it was lighter id be like its old! But because it slightly darker im questioning if its new! But then im like surely it should be darker than that though by now 🤷🏽‍♀️

@bubblybrit did you test?!

No I’m going to hold off until tomorrow @Loulou237. Needed the loo at 5am this morning and didn’t have a test in the bathroom. Didn’t want to test next time I visited the bathroom as wouldn’t be using fmu again! I was convinced AF was coming yesterday due to the types of cramps I was getting but nothing at all so far and cramps are gone again! How are you getting on? X
