@dippyegg32 remind me how many dpo you are and when AF is due? Xx

@dippyegg32 I agree the bottom one looks much stronger xx

@dippyegg32 I’d be over the moon with that positive test!

Sorry just caught up been having some time away from my phone. Welcome and sorry to those who've sadly had to join.

@dippyegg32 I think your most recent test looks way darker than previous and I think that's excellent progression - I'd be chuffed with that!! Your lines are just getting better and better every time you post! I've got everything crossed for you!

I've deactivated my Facebook and Instagram due to too many pregnancies/babies/announcements and adverts so I really hope you ladies will still post updates here too as I have found you all invaluable support! 🤍

I spoke to gp on Monday, was back to work snd struggling massively. Not helped by the fact I hate my job and so am signed off again this week (this will be week 2 - I worry I'm being unreasonable but I don't think I am?!) Sunday was tough with Mother's Day. This Friday 19th should have been our 12 week scan. DP off Friday too so planning a long early morning walk.

I had ERPC Friday 5th March. Bled from then until just about yesterday/today ish. It's now more pink cm when I wipe rather than actual blood. DTD for the first time this morning as we were feeling like it. Not doing anything to prevent even though won't have had a proper period. I'm still waiting for a negative test (and feeling a bit reckless by dtd with no protection in case I then wouldn't know if it's new positive) but I think I'm not going to prevent something I want so what will be will be! Bit of an odd request as I know we're always wanting the other way round, but would you say these tests are looking a good bit lighter, from Sunday to today? I just want the old hcg to bugger off now so i know my body is going back to normal.

Hoping to see some BFPs on this thread this month ☺️

I'm either 2 days late or due on tomorrow as cycles are 24-28 days

@dippyegg32 same as other people the latest test is way way darker and looks like good progression! When is AF due? Lots of cm is a good sign!

@dippyegg32 bottom one definitely looks darker xxx

I've started bleeding guys.

Oh @dippyegg32 I'm so sorry, I was so hopeful for you 💔

Sending tons of hugs x

@dippyegg32 oh I’m so sorry lovely 😢 those tests look so promising I think you can’t rule anything out right now - our bodies are doing all sorts of strange things! Can you ask your EPU for a blood test? So you know for sure what’s going on? Really rooting for you xx

@justwant2beamum I think the test on the right looks much lighter!! It’s a weird one - first desperate for a negative test then absolutely dying for a positive! What a headf**k!! X

Oh @dippyegg32 I'm sorry you've started bleeding, I don't want to get your hopes up because it might well be AF, but remember what happened to me last week... Positive tests... Bled for a day and a bit.. Convinced it was AF and then my tests continued to get darker! Xx

@dippyegg32 ❤❤❤❤

@Pettylamby when do you have your EPU appointment lovely?

Sorry I've been quiet I've been dipping in and out. Did anyone see Louise from Made in Chelsea's Instagram post? And Binky too! Amazing how many ladies are now talking about it more and more. It's great xx

@dippyegg32 sending you a massive hug xxxx

@AMS19 I saw an article in the daily mail about a couple who suffered a miscarriage early on and I thought the same how lovely of them to open up about it. I didn’t know who they were though but assumed they were famous as they were in the paper xx

@DMT1982 it's great. More and more "celebrities" are opening up about it and making it all feel more normal. Which we knew anyway but nice to get the reassurance. Especially when they've had successful pregnancies since xx

@AMS19 hey love, was wondering where you were and if you’re okay! I’ve not seen those posts I’ll have a look.

@dippyegg32 oh lovely, I really hope it’s not AF for you. It could be a similar situation to @Pettylamby But we are are here for you whatever the outcome xxx

@dippyegg32 sending you lots of love 💕

@AMS19 1st of April! Two weeks tomorrow! Still just taking it a day at a time! Tests have continued to show progression and I've got one final digital so hoping I get my 3+ weeks soon!

Remind me where you are in your cycle again? I'm so bad at keeping up!

Yeah saw both binky and Louise Thompson posts - I'm so glad they are bringing a bit more awareness to it! 💕

@Mellous I'm okay thanks lovely just trying to keep the mind in check a bit

@Pettylamby eeek not too long. How are you feeling? Got everything crossed for your 3+!!! When are you testing??

Oh @dippyegg32 I’m so sorry lovely. Keeping everything crossed that it’s just harmless bleeding. Please keep posting on here and keep us updated, don’t struggle alone. We are here for you. Sending you so much love and positivity.

@AMS19 I'm trying to hold out till the weekend! Saturday or Sunday I think! I'm feeling okay, mild nausea, boobs have grown and I'm cramping on and off along with pelvic pressure occasionally!

I decided to get back to my regular exercise today so went on a wee run/jog and did some weights in the garden! Figured that I totally stopped last time and I miscarried anyway so decided to give it a go for my sanity this time!

Sorry I’ve been a bit AWOL guys I’ve been trying to keep distracted in all honesty. It’s bloody tough this, isn’t it. I had a call at work today with a client (big lingerie manufacturer, I write scripts for e-learning) and we spent 20 minutes discussing maternity bras. I keep feeling all hot and anxious and then when I got off the call I just burst into tears. It honestly hits you so unexpectedly doesn’t it.

Anyway. I actually was in a great mood up until that point as I got a flashing smiley on a Clearblue digital ovulation test! I start taking it 2 days ago on CD11 as figured there are 20 tests in the box so couldn’t hurt really. Got 2 days of blank circles and then to my absolute shock a flashing smiley today, CD13! Bear in mind my last ovulation day was CD44! And the earliest I’d had before then was CD26! I was honestly so happy I could have cried! I ran downstairs and showed DH and told him we need to BD for the next however many days now ha! He’s over the moon haha but I’m just hoping he won’t feel under pressure now! Ideally I wouldn’t have told him but I was so happy I had to, and he also said he would have noticed if I instigated BD for like 7 days in a row. So that’s where I’m at. Not sure how many flashing days I’ll have but hopefully it means ovulation is on it’s way. Just can’t believe it after having such long cycles. Hopefully this means my B6 and agnus castus is doing it’s job.

Hi all... can I join please? Feeling a bit lost. I've just had another miscarriage (my first after having my rainbow baby a year ago). My DD is a miracle baby and I am so grateful, I didn't expect we'd get another BFP.... but I did. Last week - I think I was 6 weeks gone, I was still in shock about getting pregnant and then on Monday I mentioned cramps to my doctor so was referred for a scan on the Tuesday. Shortly after the phone call I started bleeding - I just knew, but I had to go to EPU. They scanned me and showed me I'd already passed the baby ☹️ so traumatic, I was sat in a room crying by myself in a horrible stupid mask all snotty and teary and alone. Bloods and urine came back negative, and that was it. Discharged, heartbroken, traumatised and my body had so quickly got rid of the baby I've so longed for?
I really don't want to offend anyone because I know I'm so so lucky to have a DD, but she came after 7 MC's, a traumatic pregnancy and labour - and I've wanted another since I gave birth!

I feel so traumatised from the scan. From doing it alone, from seeing where my baby would've been, being sat crying by myself.... but I also want to start TTC again. I'm determined not to waste any time but I am so scared of it happening again or taking 1.5 years like with my daughter 😓
