Tagged everyone I can find/think of.

A very new tag list from the last one I did in February, a lot of ladies got BFPs 🤰 Hopefully some good news for us in the coming months... 🤞🏼

Any recaps on journey so far welcome...

@davidrosejumper thank you, it would make far more sense if they tested after one, I have signed the petition already. I've no idea at all why we have had losses, I was just told it's one of those things! May be worth a test (I think I've had every other blood test going recently) I thought they may put you on aspirin, I've seen a few people get their bfp then go on it recently so that's good they have a plan now.

@Canadadarlingg I think it was £5 something originally, the Tesco I was in was selling it all off half price so I bought like 5 boxes as it had quite a few months date on it lol

To anyone that asked it happened because of the stress of my abusive ex partner, but you know, onwards and upwards

Glad he's an EX @subbysammiexoxo 💓💓 Rainbow baby just waiting for you out there😘🌈👶🏻

Hi Ladies

Yesterday we had confirmation that the pregnancy is not another Ectopic. Such good news. Measuring a couple of days smaller but hopefully given I am only 6 weeks the little one will catch up 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. Thank you for all your support.

It is amazing how the mind can play tricks on you because I was so convinced I had right sided twinges/pain. All have disappeared since the confirmation the little one is in the correct place.

@elsimo congratulations on your wedding. Sounds so lovely 💕

@Canadadarlingg I was really against lubricant as I worried it would have a negative impact but actually I conceived both times I used preseed and with the ectopic we used KY which I would not recommend.

I would recommend Pre Seed though. TMI but I think now I am a bit older I am probably a bit drier so must help move everything along a bit.

Xxx

That's fabulous news @Mustkeepgoing2 👏😊 it must put your mind at ease a bit. Onwards to a happy healthy pregnancy for you and your little one👶🏻💓

@Mustkeepgoing2 I'm so happy for you!! Xxx

@Mustkeepgoing2 that's bloody fantastic! I bet that's an immense relief for you. Now you can chill and cook that little one 👶

@Mustkeepgoing2 such good news, hoping you can relax now that you know your little one is doing fine ☺️ I agree about how your mind can play tricks on you it's so strange, but I'm glad there's nothing wrong!
Thank you for the suggestion I have ordered some now so I will try it for the next few cycles and 🤞🏻it works

@Mustkeepgoing2 yay congratulations lovely so so pleased for you! You must feel a little better now?

@Mustkeepgoing2, congratulations, what a relief!

@Mustkeepgoing2 So so pleased for you. Glad you can try to rest a little more now . sending lots of love.

Ovulation question.for you all..what's the latest in your cycle you have ovulated?

So im cd23 not had a line as dark as/darker than the opk control line. So frustrating. Although I did have one day where it was pretty dark but not as dark as..I'm wondering if f that was it and it just didn't quite go as dark. Not sure if I'm just being hopeful there. but I feel like.i do usually Ov mid cycle so this is strange and the lines arent really getting any darker. Or maybe I just won't this month. Tbh if that was it before then not hopeful as only.managed to dtd once a couple of days before that. Oh has been feeling ropey after his jab and we've been away sharing a room with LO for the past week too.

Congratulations @Mustkeepgoing2, such lovely news 😊

@MammaJ21 I would be confused too, lol, but I would probably try to find an opportunity to get this peak ‘covered’ too just invase this is the ovulation peak, good luck 🤞🏻

2 days ago, 11DPO, I had pinkish diachatge on wiping for a few hours, loads of cramps with a particular sharp stabbing pain on the right side 🤷🏼‍♀️

Has anyone ever had this?
Also, do any of you ladies experience cramping throughout the entire 2nd half of your cycle?

@SLCxxx they sound like implantation symptoms!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Have you had any other symptoms? Xxx

@SLCxxx this same thing happened to me, I actually thought it was AF coming but there'd been no more spotting since 3 days ago so I'm confused! Tested yesterday but was bfn..think I'm just going to admit defeat this month and hope if AF is coming that she comes sooner rather than later!

@SLCxxx I've actually had on-off cramping in second half of my cycle ever since my MC. It's just one of those things that has changed since then. Mind you, I've also had irregular cycles ever since - don't know if you've said whether your cycles are regular?

@Mustkeepgoing2 I'm so pleased for you and baby bean! Didn't we say it would be OK? Wishing you a smooth rest of the pregnancy x

@MammaJ21 Is this your first cycle post miscarriage? I was on here earlier moaning that I hadn’t got my peak by CD25, however I had a small LH surge on CD17 that I thought was just variation. I definitely ovulated then as I got my positive pregnancy test a week and a half after, that got stronger, but ended in a chemical pregnancy.
Premiscarriage, my LH surge was really strong(1.9-2.0), this time it didn’t even recognise as high on my premom app (0.77).

I've had one Af after a CP this time.

That is interesting to hear...really thinking the darkish line I had before must have been it...but it wasnt as dark as the control line so I assumed it'd get darker and must be coming in the next few days, but it never did.

Managed to dtd cd 12 and the so called potential peak on opk was cd14..so think it's written off as only time we dtd around then!
Annoyed that I've missed my chance this cycle.

Hoping things are clearer the next one!

@Mustkeepgoing2 thats wonderful news hun x

@Loulou237 aww thank you, nope no other symptoms, had more pinkish discharge today, I now have zero breast tenderness or nausea.. so I’m doubting it’s implantation although that would be amazing!

@Twinkles18 how strange that we both had it, are you 13DPO too? Hopefully you just tested too early

@susiebluebell, oh wow, mine are really irregular too, maybe the cramping has something to do with that 🤔

@MammaJ21 They are very similar times to me, I had dtd on CD16, and got the peak overnight on CD17-18, from experience I ovulate about 12 hours after the LH surge, so only DTD the once before I ovulated. I conceived, but had a chemical pregnancy so keep your fingers crossed! I had read somewhere that lower LH surges can mean you took less of a hormone surge to ovulate that time, so not always a bad thing. That was on some deep obsessive TTC googling though so not sure how accurate it is.

I'm trying so hard not to symptom spot but it's hard seeing as I've never been off the pill since I was 15 until January this year. I'm not entirely sure what PMS symptoms are as still learning about my body.

I keep getting stretching sensations in my pelvic area, particularly on one side. They were quite painful yesterday.

I have endometriosis so it could be that, but it doesn't feel like endo pain.

I woke up really stuffy nosed this morning too.

I'm currently 5/6 DPO.

Hope all of you are having a good weekend xx

@susiebluebell did you get to speak to your go btw?

@Canadadarlingg I think you, @Twinkles18 and I were/are in the TWW together, did you test? I’m so desperately trying to hold out! I was 4 days late last time and was convinced I was pregnant (even though I had bfn on due on date) so I’m trying not to do that to myself again lol.

@Capricorn8990 sometimes I think symptom spotting is done unconsciously, we literally can’t help it. 🤞🏻 It turns out to be more than just stretching

@SLCxxx I tested at 11dpo but then AF showed up which is typical ! Onwards and upwards to a new cycle though. AF must be due for you soon? Fingers crossed it doesn't show

@SLCXXX I filled out the consult form on the GP website, they promised a phone call, and no phone call has been forthcoming 🙄

Funny about your cycles being irregular too + the cramping. Might be related. I'm 80% convinced I have PCOS as my sister has it and we have many of the same symptoms.
