@firsttimemummy321 Keeping everything crossed for you! 🤞🏻🙏🏻❤️ xx

Hi all, thought I would also jump on the bus 🚌
Congratulations to all those with BFPs this month, its looking like a lucky thread 🥰

Approaching cycle 4 and TTC 4 after a miscarriage in January at 16 weeks (baby #1). AF due 13th May. Last few months after MC my cycles have been awful and making me feel very poorly, although they have been regular. This month has been a bit different, headaches mostly and a bit if nausea but no strong symptoms like previous months (although this week i’ve been very tired, hungry and strong sense of smell!) Trying to hold off testing until after AF is due. Its so hard not to symptom spot as thinking symptoms could be so different from the first time, so I don’t want to get hopes up or down too much! 🤞🏿 fingers crossed for everyone this month x

Confused678866 · 09/05/2021 18:48

@Missy95 It sounds like you've had a pretty rough ride these last few months. Sending you positive vibes and keeping fingers crossed for you this cycle 🤞🏻 xx

carlsi6 · 09/05/2021 18:48

@Missy95 sorry to here about the MC and so far along. Sending you positive vibes and baby dust for this cycle xx

Missy95 · 09/05/2021 19:06

@Confused678866 @carlsi6 thank you both. Its been somewhat of a rollercoaster but im feeling positive this month 🥰 although the TWW is difficult x

carlsi6 · 09/05/2021 19:19

@Missy95 it really is. AF is due on 17th for
Me and I'm really trying not to think about it or symptom spot etc but it's so hard xx

firsttimemummy321 · 09/05/2021 19:22

Thanks @amyannx and @Confused678866 after a nearly 7 hour hold (no idea how?!) it's either completely negative or a shadow. Can see a faint line on the ic but it's lighter than yesterday's so guessing another chemical :( think it's time to contact the dr about them

@Missy95 sorry to hear about your miscarriage 🤞🏻 for this cycle! Not too long to wait :)

amyannx · 09/05/2021 19:26

@firsttimemummy321 sorry to hear this, could it just be that your very early on and maybe fmu might show better? X

Confused678866 · 09/05/2021 19:32

@firsttimemummy321 Sorry to hear this 🙁 but maybe try FMU tomorrow just to be sure?? Xx

SouthwestSis · 09/05/2021 19:49

Welcome @Missy95 and wishing you all the best for this month!

I'm 13 DPO and still yet to get my period, although I have long/irregular cycles anyway, my Clue app is telling my period is due tomorrow but really, who knows!?
I've resisted any testing since it's only cycle 1 TTC for me but it is so hard not to get excited! I have 1 test in my bathroom and I could swear it is whispering my name! But it's only a cheapy one so not accurate until day of missed period anyway.

Twinkles18 · 09/05/2021 20:44

Sorry about your MC @missy95 same happened to me in Jan at 12 weeks so I know the rollercoaster! This is my 2nd cycle after the MC so I'm trying to keep it cool but emotions are all over the show! Almost bought another dog to distract myself 😂
Fingers crossed for you that AF doesn't show! I'm now officially in the TWW, AF due 22nd May..fingers crossed for us all 🤍

carlsi6 · 09/05/2021 20:51

Really trying my hardest not to symptom spot, I think I'm about 3/4DPO although can't be exactly sure on dates. I've been cramping on and off now for the last 2 days very slight & tonight I've got slight heartburn which I never ever get which is odd, still think it's far too early though xx

Missy95 · 09/05/2021 20:54

Fingers crossed for you @SouthwestSis @firsttimemummy321 🤞🏿🤞🏿 @firsttimemummy321 hopefully your negative/shadow is just a test taken too early, maybe try again in a few days. Wishing you the best x

Sorry to hear of your mc as well @Twinkles18
I don't think id have made it through the past few months without my dog 🐶 I was off work for nearly 4 months and we just spent our days walking! He's been a saviour so I can totally see why you would want another! Although my dog is a bit of a nutter so I don't think I could cope with another 😂 fingers crossed this month is your month x

Missy95 · 09/05/2021 20:57

@carlsi6 I have been symptom spotting like mad the past few months and then feeling miserable when AF shows but this months 'symptoms' seem so different. I also have had heartburn the past few days! I don't test for ovulation but I track it with Flo so that reckons im about 11dpo. Its so hard not to get hopes up isn't it! X

carlsi6 · 09/05/2021 20:59

@Missy95 I know I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up! I'm going to be really busy at work this week so hopefully I'll just forget about it 🙈🙈 xx

Missy95 · 09/05/2021 21:00

I know the feeling well. Super busy at work and finalising last assignment of my Bachelors. Lets hope for some quick passing days (not to wish my life away 🤦🏿‍♀️) I feel like a crazy woman ha x

Twochews78 · 09/05/2021 21:11

Thank you @Willow1982!! My app is saying that I’m ovulating tomorrow, but my opks confuse me! They seemed to be building up to a positive, a darker line last night and now they’re light again, who knows! You’ll be starting your week and I’ll be finishing! xx

CTMcG · 09/05/2021 22:02

Hi everyone! New here! I can’t tell you how many times I have googled abbreviations today but getting there with all the lingo😊

Hubby and I decided to start trying Wednesday past! So not long at all and it so happens to be the week of my fertile window so we have dtd 4 times since🙈 today is supposedly ovulation day. I have been off the pill since Dec but were using condoms up until this week.

I know the chances of getting pregnant in the first month is verrry low but its so hard not to get excited! This will be our first pregnancy!

firsttimemummy321 · 09/05/2021 22:23

@amyannx @Confused678866 @Missy95 thank you. I did with fmu this morning and was the same :( assuming chemical will do one more tomorrow but I'm not getting my hopes up

Confused678866 · 09/05/2021 22:27

@firsttimemummy321 Can you post pics? Maybe it would help you if we had a look? Xx

Confused678866 · 09/05/2021 22:35

@amyannx Sorry, I didn't see you last post to me! Yes, I'm sure all will be fine. Is it tomorrow you have your blood test? Xx

amyannx · 09/05/2021 22:37

@firsttimemummy321 so sorry hun, fingers are crossed for you xx

amyannx · 09/05/2021 22:41

@Confused678866 hey! Yeah I go tomorrow it's a case of sitting around until they can fit me in, not sure if I get the results there and then or if I have to wait a few days, wish I didn't have the scan as I know it's normal to not see anything at 4 weeks but I'm now worried and keep stressing about it, read online that people have a thickened uterus on some 4 weeks scans and she didn't even mention that either x

Confused678866 · 09/05/2021 22:44

@amyannx Hopefully they can give you the results the same day 🤞🏻🙏🏻
I know what you mean, but I wouldn't read into that bit too much (easier said than done, I know). Xx

amyannx · 09/05/2021 22:46

@Confused678866 yeah I hope so! I should know not to worry with my ds I had a scan at 6 weeks and only saw the sac! Wasn't until 2 weeks later I saw him on the screen, I'm not doing anymore test now, maybe cb digital to see if I get a 3+ in a week or so if everything goes well tomorrow but not more FRER they drive me mad comparing lines! Are you testing still or using a digital? X
