@Missy95 Oh okay! So that might be normal then to have it around then? I've just had a quick google and it does say booking appointment between 8-10 weeks as there are some tests you can have before 10 weeks. My first one was done in such a hurry as I was further long than I thought so it was all a bit rushed! I think I was nearly 13 weeks at my 12 week scan.
Sorry to hear about your MC, keeping everything crossed for you this cycle 🤞🏻🤞🏻 xx

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 20:37

@Confused678866 it will soon come around for you. How exciting 🥰

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 20:39

@Fiep Ahh so this seems like a common theme then!
I was about 11.5 weeks at my booking appointment with my son but that's because I was much further on than I thought and found this out a private scan! So then my 12 scan was booked for just over a week later and I think I was nearly 13 weeks for that.

I hope your cycles get back ok track 🤞🏻 I'm not familiar with the coil, I've never had it! Keeping fingers crossed for you though xx

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 20:40

@Missy95 Thank you ☺️ xx

Lexber · 10/05/2021 20:41

Hi all,

Currently 9dpo 1st cycle TTC (2 previous children both surprises so all new to me!!)

crampy and feeling meh. AF due Sat so trying so hard not to test early any tips to distract me lol

Missy95 · 10/05/2021 20:47

@Lexber fingers crossed for you! I could do with some tips too. I haven't bought any tests so I cant be tempted to test too early.. Im trying to keep busy and not think about it but its so hard not to symptom spot. Trying to keep busy is also tricky when I feel so tired, I can barely stay awake, but I have a feeling thats likely down to stress 🤦🏿‍♀️ im around 12dpo but thats just going off an app more than anything else. AF due on Thursday so just the waiting game now x

amyannx · 10/05/2021 20:51

@Confused678866 with my son I had a appointment at around 8 weeks, they did my bloods and weight and blood pressure then i went round to book my 12 week scan in, maybe hospitals vary? I will let you know the date I'm given for my first appointment when I receive it x

BabyFeet92 · 10/05/2021 20:52

@ShoeGal2710 I am so sorry for your struggle! I can't say that Iunderstandfrom personalexperience, but a very close friend is going through the same and I have seen the very real physical and emotional toll of struggling to conceive. I know that it is exceptionally hard, especially when the doctors cannot find anything to "fix". I hope you have someone to talk to and to hold on to on the difficult days Flowers

Quinn26 · 10/05/2021 20:56

@amyannx so glad your bloods came back positive. It all sounds like it's going in the right direction x

amyannx · 10/05/2021 20:56

@Quinn26 thank you, I'm so hoping it is X

Confused678866 · 10/05/2021 21:15

@amyannx Yeah that sounds about right from what I've been reading on the internet! The NHS website says 8-10 weeks for a booking appointment. Hopefully it's 8! I'll call up my GP again or I'll find a contact number for the midwife dept and I'll ask them. I just couldn't really compare to my last pregnancy because of having my dates so wrong!
Yes let me know when you get your appointment for please ☺️ xx

ShoeGal2710 · 10/05/2021 21:24

Thank you so much @BabyFeet92 ♥️

Lollipop25 · 10/05/2021 22:06

Best of luck tomorrow @ShoeGal2710 hope af stays well away🤞
@Jessdani hopefully that back pain is a good sign for you, so hard to be optimistic when you've been disappointed before, distract distract distract, it's out of your hands now😌
@Lexber I wish I had tips to distract, think the early testing gets most of us in the end🙈😂

This does seem to be fairly lucky thread in the last few weeks so 🤞for a few more BFP's 🤗

Twinkles18 · 10/05/2021 22:13

This really does seem a lucky thread @Lollipop25 I'm keeping everything crossed for us all!

Peak turned out to be yesterday according to Premom app so am I right in saying ovulation is probably today? Im using Natural Cycles app which says today then "high fertility" tomorrow but maybe that's just incase? Feeling hopeful this month, trying to give out positivity 😅

ShoeGal2710 · 10/05/2021 22:15

Thank you @Lollipop25 but AF arrived at lunch time today 💔😥 We go again..... xxx

Lexber · 10/05/2021 22:20

Well this evening i seem to have acid reflux (if that's what it's called) I keep burping sick in my mouth - nice I know!

amyannx · 10/05/2021 22:29

@Confused678866 yeah I hope we don't have to wait ages! Not nice being in limbo and hoping everything is ok, and also having questions to ask, yeah I will let you know my letter can take up to 2 weeks to come x

Lollipop25 · 10/05/2021 22:45

@Twinkles18 these apps are driving me crazy🤣keep changing my ovulation day as opks are not peaking🤷🏼‍♀️ and now even with blank opk my Femometer app is telling me I ovulated today. Glow app is saying I'll ovulated in 2 day. It's like holding chocolate in front of me and taking a step back when I reach for it🤣🤣
Have had EWCM for a few days and DTD every other day but f*ck me I don't know what's goin on🤷🏼‍♀️🤣

@Lexber 🤣 love your honestly.
@ShoeGal2710 so sorry AF appeared 👊 baby dust for this cycle

@amyannx @Confused678866
You would think conceiving is the hard bit but unfortunately the worrying never stops💓

OP posts:
amyannx · 10/05/2021 22:47

@Lollipop25 yeah the worrying never seems to stop! Have you tried the pre mom app? I used that the last few cycles and it worked for me! You upload your opk each day and it reads it and do your temp (if you want to) and it helps find when you ovulate and worked for me last month x

Lexber · 10/05/2021 22:55

@Lollipop25 I feel so sick and warm it's unreal but refusing to symptoms spot so blaming the 2 rice crispy bars I've had... I was thinking about testing tomorrow morning at 10dpo but resisting the urge telling myself it's too early but if I end up throwing up then I POAS tomorrow...

Lollipop25 · 10/05/2021 23:09

Thanks @amyannx I'll check out the premom app👍

@Lexber 🤞it's not just the two rice crispy bars😂

Twochews78 · 10/05/2021 23:23

Currently trying to settle 21 month old who woke unexpectedly, when I should be doing the deed! It’s ovulation day baby don’t you know?? Get to sleep 🤣🤣

Lexber · 10/05/2021 23:24

@Lollipop25

Thanks *@amyannx* I'll check out the premom app👍

@Lexber 🤞it's not just the two rice crispy bars😂

I've just realised I now have a massive dilemma...

I am booked in for my micro blading top up Wednesday lunch time and if I am preg I can't have it - I will be 12dpo. Ffs

Looks like I will need to test earlier than planned as it is not recommended when preg/breastfeeding 🤦🏽‍♀️

Lollipop25 · 10/05/2021 23:44

👏👏best of luck @Lexber
If it has to be done, it has to be done !!
