My bleeding still hasn't turned into a full blown period. Nothing at all on the pad this morning, when I wiped it seemed quite a bit but for 8/9 hours worth it really wasn't. Suppose all I can do is wait and test in a few days!

I know by now normally I'd be quite heavy. Has anyone else had similar experiences and it's a been implantation bleed ? Xx

@dunkedbiscuit try and stay positive hun, it was @amyannx it happened to and other tests were quite positive, including blood. So there is still hope xx

@dunkedbiscuit Yeah it was @amyannx as Sam mentioned just.. All is okay at the moment I think? She did another FRER of an evening and it was so bold! She had a scan too - hopefully she sees this and can chat to you?

I'm ok thank you. Other then feeling pretty tired and sick on and off, I'm okay! Anxiously awaiting my private scan which is just over 3 weeks away so it feels like a lifetime!

@dunkedbiscuit yeah this happened to me! I went to the early pregnancy unit had a scan and it was to early to see anything so I go back Monday for a repeat scan, my hcg levels doubled though. I think I just had diluted urine as I did a test In the evening and it was the strongest I had! I held my urine for 4 hours, I never had any bleeding or cramping either, try not to stress! It's easier said then done as I was the same, this is my test the top was the day before the middles was the morning which was much lighter and then the bottom was that night! So hopefully your urine was just diluted x

@Confused678866 how are you doing? Im starting to feel more tired in the evenings now and bloated! Not really got lots of symptoms though! I keep worrying that I haven't got many but then I don't think I did with my ds either. I'm still waiting for my letter to come through with my appointment so when I get it will let you know what the date is, I'm thinking of doing a private scan too, how many weeks will you be when you have yours? X

@amyannx Hey, I'm okay thanks.. just tired in the evenings and feeling sick on and off but nothing too major. I get sore boobs on and off too! Thinking back to first pregnancy, I didn't even know I was pregnant at this point! I only tested because I kept feeling sick and boobs hurt so it's pretty similar in that sense. My exhaustion in my first pregnancy was insane but I'd say it was from around 7/8 weeks until about 14.
Don't worry though, lots of people don't get symptoms until later and it sounds very similar to your first pregnancy too. I haven't had an appointment through yet, I might call up next week to find out though because the receptionist definitely got it mixed up when I spoke to her! Let me know when you get your appointment through ☺️
Going from my LMP, I'll be 8+3 when I have my private scan which is on 8th June. I had one last time but I turned out I was further gone.
When would you think about doing one for? Xx

@amyannx Oh and very bloated in the evenings too!

@Confused678866 yeah we are similar then! Well I have a scan tomorrow to see if they can see anything now, I'm till worried incase they don't as they said they should at least be able to see a sac at 5 weeks but it will likely be empty, still worried as Im only 5 weeks today so I think it's still early to see anything, and then if they do I have to worry as it's most likely empty! I thinking of doing mine 6th June maybe when I'm 8 weeks, but all depends if everything is ok, hoping it is as got no bad symptoms or anything but can't help but worry x

@amyannx Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 I'm sure it will all be fine! Are you 5 weeks today?
I'm quite anxious about everything this time around whereas I wasn't in my first pregnancy... I think it's because it al happened so quickly last time and we weren't exactly trying for long, and I found out late so it was all a bit of a whirlwind!
I'm anxious for the scan as I just hope everything's okay, I'm like you, no bad symptoms etc but you can't help but worry can you.
I wanted to do mine at 8 weeks but our little boy would be with us, which they usually allow but due to covid he's not allowed.. and as we haven't told anyone, we can't really get him looked after xx

@Confused678866 yeah Im roughly 5 weeks today or a few days ago not exactly sure just going by my app, yeah that's the same with us I need to work out when to book as we haven't told anyone either, yeah I think because it took us longer I'm more worried as the waiting each month was getting to me, hopefully all is well, such a hard time waiting I remember with ds I had a 12 week scan then private 16 week as I couldn't wait until the 20 week scan x

@amyannx It's confusing isn't it because I've read things about going by your LMP but then people talk about if you ovulated very late, your not as far gone which obviously makes sense but I'm just sticking to LMP as I have pretty short cycles too anyway so hoping I'm pretty accurate with where I am!
You did well to wait until 12 weeks last time! I was around 10 weeks at my private one but I thought I was about 7! Had my 12 week one and then we had a couple of private ones in between 12 and 20, I was obsessed 🙈 x

@Confused678866 yeah I think it's hard to estimate due dates! Yeah that was like me I think because ds never started moving properly until 18 weeks I wanted scans but after that he moved a lot so I wasn't as worried as I could feel him x

@amyannx Yeah I've just got a rough date in my head but I know it will change at the private scan and then at the 12 week one!
I didn't feel my little one until I was at my 20 weeks scan! He properly kicked while I was being scanned and I was like ohhhh okay there he is 😂 I had a 4D scan at about 27 weeks and then that was it but I got sent for a couple of growth scans too so I was scanned quite late in pregnancy, I think I was about 34/35 weeks xx

@Confused678866 yeah I had a scan after my 20 week and then growth scans too, my placenta was at the front so when ever ds kicked they were never strong but I could feel it x

@Skl2021 It all feels so long ago when I was pregnant first time! How old is your little one? X

@amyannx thank you so much, that really helps actually, my tests look v similar, I will re test tomorrow and hope it looks stronger . I'm still getting completely negative results on anything other than a FRER so think I must be in really early days (despite AF being 2 days late) 🤔

Just can't help worrying it's going wrong, but no bleeding it cramps yet so 🤞

Let us know how the scan goes tomorrow, the fact HCG is doubling is amazingly positive news!

Good luck @dunkedbiscuit for a stronger line on the next test, I’m sure it would be the diluted urine and next one will be darker, fingers crossed xx
I finally got my peak after four days of flashing smileys, cycle day 18 hope that’s not too late in my cycle, I’m just grateful it came, was starting to get worried I would ovulate this month!!
I suppose next week I shall be driving myself crazy in the TWW!!xx

@dunkedbiscuit yeah it could just be that your urine was to diluted, I hope everything goes ok for you! I've learnt not to do line progressions now as it was to much stress, will update on how my scan goes tomorrow x

@Willow1982 thank you and good news about getting your peak, enjoy FW!!

Good luck @amyannx tomorrow 🤞
Now in the tww 😫 it's getting tougher. We definitely gave it a good go! Been using the clearblue monitor and glow app, had 3 days of high, 2 days of peak and another high. I'm now 1dpo and cannot wait to start poas again! 🙈
Anyone else around the same dpo?

I might be @emsjourney but I’m so confused about everything. Yesterday was theoretically probably ovulation and I’ve been bleeding today - much more heavily than i think an ovulation bleed (which I’ve never had) would be, but it seems to have finished... so don’t know?? Opks seem pretty useless to me, I’ve attached mine and they are all over the place but consistently pretty low. So frustrating! I’m not sure if I have enough detail to ask a gp if anything might be wrong, if this bleeding today had been a period starting at cd20 I think I would have enough. But it’s stopped.

@timeisnotaline so last month I had a similar issue with the cheap opks. I completely missed my LG surge/peak (if I even ovulated). But I was testing first thing in morning and only once a day. From what I understand you can completely miss it if you only test once a day. I did them this month alongside my clearblue monitor just out of curiosity and the best readings I got were late morning and matched my monitor. Interestingly I did a fmu with one opk and came up really weak and that was in fact the day I got my peak and a couple of hours later was a blaring positive on another cheap test.
As for the bleeding, I've never had that personally but have heard some women spot around ovulation. If it it's worrying definitely ask the Dr xx

@amyannx Sorry, tagged the wrong person earlier 🤦🏼‍♀️ ... this was meant for you 😂

It all feels so long ago when I was pregnant first time! How old is your little one? X

@Confused678866 haha that's ok, my ds will be four in December, how old is your little one x

@amyannx He's just turned 2, last month! Terrible twos are going strong 🥴😳😂 xx
