@Noodella18 is it heavy spotting? Do try and stay calm (easier said than done, I know) - spotting doesn’t necessarily mean anything bad. The line is quite dark for a cheapie stick, no? So try to have hope xxxxxx

Are you near an EPU? My local one is telephone triaging at the moment, so maybe call your local one and see what the midwife says over the phone?

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 02/06/2021 11:01

@Noodella18 it might just be a little breakthrough bleeding. I don't know if it's helpful, but the GP was worried about spotting AND cramping together for me last time. Do you have cramping? Otherwise a third of people have a little bleeding in early pregnancy. Blood betas might put your mind at rest - EPU can do them or where I am you can get them done privately for about £50. Hope you're okay. Very stressful x

Great to hear the bfp's are progressing well @Noodella18 @MgW1 @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 @VixFromThe6ix So please for you guys

@GuessHowMuch I hope the doc has some answers for you

@notyetamumbuttrying 10 Eggs is amazing! 8 fertilised is brilliant news too 🤞🏻 for Sunday!

@MgW1 glad your birthday went well!

@Noodella18 spotting isn't always a bad thing, your line looks great though!

A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 · 02/06/2021 11:02

@notyetamumbuttrying that sounds like a really great number! Can't believe you'll have them soon!

notyetamumbuttrying · 02/06/2021 11:37

Thank you both 😊 hope you're both well?

Hiya, can I join TTC #2 I am 36. I have been reading the page and @Noodella18 I bled weeks 5-9 in my last pregnancy. She's now a 3 year old.

Noodella18 · 02/06/2021 12:00

Thanks for the advice and reassurance ladies. @A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 no cramping so I guess that's good news. I don't typically cramp though. @ImpatientTTCer it's not heavy spotting just when I wipe, and it seems to have turned brown now. I did have spotting with my daughter but not this early. It tended to be worse when I did too much activity and actually I did a long walk yesterday and have been totally coughing my guts up, which would be putting pressure on my pelvic floor, so I wonder if it's that. Think I will get a digital for tomorrow morning.

@notyetamumbuttrying that's great news about the eggs, best of luck for Sunday!

MgW1 · 02/06/2021 13:08

@notyetamumbuttrying
Thats fantastic news about the fertilised eggs! Thats a lot!! X

Geriatric1234 · 02/06/2021 13:14

@Noodella18 with that line I think that could be implantation bleeding if just when wiping. Don’t stress yet! Xxx

Bundaberg84 · 02/06/2021 13:25

@Noodella18 I have the same since Saturday. Only when wiping though and I think only when I walked or did something like folding laundry. Nothing when I get up in the morning...

MgW1 · 02/06/2021 13:36

@Noodella18
How many dpo are you? I have had cramps ( no severe) but no spotting. I have had spotting with my son around week 5-7 and like you, when over exerting myself and walking too far. You may have to rest up a bit. When i had mc's I didnt get brown spotting just pink and then bright red. X

Geriatric1234 · 02/06/2021 13:40

Welcome @thingymaboob! X

VixFromThe6ix · 02/06/2021 14:24

@AnxiousWannabe you said it exactly right, no use in stressing over things that are out of our control. That's literally my mantra for life and I preach it to others but somehow when it comes to this I feel like I am forgetting it. I will put more effort into developing that kind of mentality where if I can't actually do anything to fix or change it then I need not stress over it. I gotta survive for 15 days till my ultrasound, let's see how it works 😂😂😂

@MgW1 we put ourselves on the IVF list earlier this year so if this goes wrong I hope we can do IVF by end of the year. That's gonna be my last hope. Symptoms are sore boobs, fairly strong cramps (usually over night), burps after everything I eat, bad sleep, tiredness. I had a weird experience with ground turkey. I make turkey and butternut squash chilly which we both really enjoy. The last one I made, the smell of turkey stood out so much I couldn't eat it. Hubby had no issues with it and ate the whole thing himself. But I'm cautious to attribute any of these to pregnancy tbh....

@noodella18 I asked some friends and they said they didn't really have any symptoms at all their first trimester. So I know it's not uncommon that I don't have nausea. Maybe like you said it will arrive later. Your test looks good, girl! Little spotting is normal. Even my fertility clinic sent me some information for first trimester and it mentions light spotting as normal. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@bundaberg84 haha I hear those stories but never understood how they didn't know sooner. I had a coworker who went to see a doctor cause she thought she had an ulcer. That's when she found out she was 7.5 months pregnant. I guess cause we track ovulation and plan when we have sex we are more likely to find out earlier if we are pregnant than those who didn't plan for it. 😊

[quote notyetamumbuttrying]@Noodella18 thanks all went well and 10 eggs collected. 8 fertilised and transfer is booked for Sunday. No more updates tho so I could get there and they tell me that only 4 made it! 😳
That does look a strong test! Have everything crossed for you!![/quote]
So exciting!! That's a good number. 🤞🤞🤞 For Sunday

Hi @thingymaboob!! Welcome.

How long have you been ttc #2? Are your tracking ovulation?

GuessHowMuch · 02/06/2021 14:40

@notyetamumbuttrying I’ve got all my fingers and toes crossed for Sunday! You must be super excited (and a million other feelings I imagine!).

Yep @MgW1 my lines literally didn’t get any darker at all from the first test. Fingers crossed you’ll be great - I think all the extra testing can drive us crazy 😅

GP was totally brutal this morning. My test at the surgery was negative so she said nothing to do other than wait to bleed and come back again in two weeks if I haven’t. It was totally in/out unemotional weirdness!

VixFromThe6ix · 02/06/2021 14:47

@GuessHowMuch I hate going to the doctor's now that I've been ttc. It always feels like no one cares. Sorry you had to go through it today. How much does it cost to show some compassion for someone going through something difficult?? What happens if you don't bleed?

Last time I found out I had a miscarriage, I was in the room with a doctor doing ultrasound. She told me it's an empty sac again. Then she got a phone call and left me on the table for 40 mins. It really was brutal. We are just a number to them...our feelings mean nothing.
Don't let it get you down, keep strong. E-hugs your way 🤗

Omg I have been having vivid dreams !!! No burps but a windy bottom 🤣 sounds good for syptoms. I started feeling sickly around 7 weeks in previous pregnancies ( not last 2 mc because didnt make it that far , infact I don't think I had sore boobs either ) x

MgW1 · 02/06/2021 15:17

@GuessHowMuch
Omg that sounds awful ☹ i hope your ok. So is this your first chemical? X

I always had sore boobs and tiredness with my previous mcs, so that's why I'm so paranoid about hoping to feel more with this one just to differentiate it from previous ones... Gahhhh
And the worst is I can't have any wine to make me feel better 😜

@GuessHowMuch That's horrific :-( Are you okay? xx

AnxiousWannabe · 02/06/2021 16:58

@VixFromThe6ix
It's always easier to preach to others lol

Do ppl here get stressed during ovulation period ? I keep testing and I think I'm overly anxious. I tell myself I can't control what my body does anyway but it doesn't work on me lol
