@Hdujsjdjdbru Congratulations lovely!! How exciting!! Hopefully some more of us can join you on this journey ☺️☺️

TheDots · 09/06/2021 10:40

@LeeTTCRainbow thank you - keeping everything crossed for us 🤞🏼 I'm only 3 DPO today and have had sore boobs since ovulation but nothing else - this is pretty normal for me though so not reading too much into this.

@Hdujsjdjdbru CONGRATULATIONS!! This is the best news!! How many DPO were you when you tested? I am absolutely thrilled for you!!

justwant2beamum · 09/06/2021 10:41

@Hdujsjdjdbru omg yay congrats!! 🥳✨ what are you today? About 10dpo? Amazing! How many cycles is that for you? Xxxx

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 12:22

Thank you sorry for your loss too.

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 12:24

@Hdujsjdjdbru oh that’s such a amazing news, congratulations, how many DPO are you? X

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 12:28

@Danni744 Annoyingly I can’t remember anything obvious from my previous positives just AF cramps were non existent and I always get bad cramps day before and day of, I took test night before Af was due and that was it. I really hope this is our month. 🤞🌈 xx

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 12:29

@TheDots I get tingly sore nipples during and just after ovulation but have gone now, I’m now 6DPO when do you normally test? Xx

Hdujsjdjdbru · 09/06/2021 12:33

Thank you all 🥰 I'm anxious and nervous - terrified of having a chemical as I know so many women do.

@Danni744 thank you! It's actually his birthday tomorrow so planning on telling him then...not sure how yet though!

@LeeTTCRainbow
@TheDots according to the apps I am 9dpo but I think I'm 10!

@justwant2beamum I've been so lucky and this is my first cycle off the pill.

TheDots · 09/06/2021 13:32

@LeeTTCRainbow that's good that you have a sign over ovulation! I test at 10DPO - it's when I got my BFP last time so I can't help myself 😂 how about you? I'm wishing away this week!!

@Hdujsjdjdbru ah that's brilliant! Absolutely thrilled for you and what lovely timing to tell your partner!

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 14:58

@Hdujsjdjdbru wow thats amazing to get a strong positive at 10dpo how lovely being able to share the good news for his birthday, deep down i really hope i can share some good news fathers day also. so how many weeks are you, 3/4 weeks im guessing? x

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 15:04

@TheDots Yeah also once i was pregnant i had such sore boobs from week 5 so clearly my boobs are sensitive to hormone changes, so my AF cycle is still slightly all over, last month was 13th and this month I got positive ovulation on 3rd so puts my AF around 17th so think will test few days after maybe Saturday then hopefully i can surprise my fiance on fathers day if get our positive. oh tell me about it this week is dragging. how many dpo are you now? xx

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 15:06

@TheDots oh jus looked back and saw you put 3dpo so I'm just a couple days in front if my AF sticks to its cycle. x

TheDots · 09/06/2021 19:39

@LeeTTCRainbow yeah I'm the same - I had sore boobs too and I was absolutely exhausted and very bloated all the time. Ah that would be so nice for Father's Day! I don't think I could keep it to myself for an hour, let alone a few days 😂 I'm 3 DPO today, I had later ovulation though randomly and ovulated on CD24 so it's going to be a looooong cycle!!😩

LeeTTCRainbow · 09/06/2021 20:04

@TheDots oh I know what you mean the bloat was real I was grateful was winter as could wear baggy jumpers as if now I don’t think I will be able to hide it I bloat so bad and already have a slight pouch left from previous pregnancy so people will know, amazing how quickly your body changes even so early on, if don’t mind me asking how far along we’re you when you miscarried?

Well tbh that’s the plan but excitement may take over but I do plan on telling him with a rainbow baby grow I have saved 🤞 I’m so nervous already and still got just over a week to go. At least have weekend coming up that always helps the days pass it’s the work days that are harder. Xx

TheDots · 10/06/2021 08:48

@LeeTTCRainbow right!! I lived in baggy jumpers - plus we were in lockdown for the majority of it so I could hide myself away 😂 I was 13 weeks when I miscarried, how about you? Oh the baby grow sounds so cute! That's such a lovely idea. Yeah the weekend will make it go faster for sure - just need to get there first, this week is draaaagging!

LeeTTCRainbow · 10/06/2021 09:11

@TheDots I was at work so was doing my best to hide my bloated belly and my snacks lol I couldn’t stop snacking otherwise would feel so sick fruit was my go to luckily couldn’t get enough.

I’m so sorry I was 12.5 weeks when found out via my scan but 13 weeks by time had my emergency d&c, had you had your scan by then and everything was ok? Honestly my heart breaks for you and anyone who has been through a loss so hard to process. X

LeeTTCRainbow · 10/06/2021 10:16

Hi girls, one week down another to go, officially 7dpo today, definitely have some mild cramps under belly button and lower back pain but could well be PMS only time will tell. how are you all doing? xx

TheDots · 10/06/2021 10:31

@LeeTTCRainbow lol fruit is the best craving to have! You can just say you're on a health kick - I'm hoping that's what happens to me next time round! There were times I'd be up at 2am eating tuc biscuits 😂

I had had an early scan at 7 weeks and everything was fine - saw a heartbeat and all looked good. I hadn't had my 12 week scan though, it was booked in for a few days after my MC started - it happened naturally but very quickly so I was in hospital for the majority of it. It's been really tough - I go through waves, every TWW I feel quite positive and then get feel really low when it doesn't work out.

I'm so sorry to hear your experience - it's heartbreaking. I'm keeping everything crossed that this is our month x

LeeTTCRainbow · 10/06/2021 10:59

@TheDots yeah that's a good idea, i know was lucky no none suspected done my best to hide even the trips to loo to chuck up haha no one caught on, doubt this time will be so lucky as know had two losses now, oh one night i really wanted humus so just got the tub and sat in bed eating in at like 1 in morning. did you suffer with much morning sickness?

oh im so sorry, glad you've had a positive scan experience at least, we never had a early scan will do this time though even if have to pay private, scans seem to be my trigger of anxiety as not had a positive experience....yet, yes why they say its like a bad period i dont know i was prepared for that, not the painful contractions, huge clots, vomiting etc.. then the emotional side hits and hard to get yourself back on top when grieving.
oh yeah the TWW is the worst days seem to drag, fingers crossed this is our month. x

LeeTTCRainbow · 10/06/2021 11:00

@Hdujsjdjdbru how are you feeling? have you told your partner now? so excited for you. x

Danni744 · 10/06/2021 13:16

I need to see some BFP’s to keep me going so I’m looking forward to seeing more from you lovely lot! I really feel a bit down tbh because I know this is going to be a bit of an emotional journey and not expecting it to be quick or easy. If I’m being completely honest, I can’t really see it happening again for me but I am so so SO blessed to have my beautiful boys and any extra addition will be another blessing, I’m not giving up without a fight lol. All I’m feeling are my usual twinges/aches/pains for this time of the month. Sounds silly but straight away with my others I just knew…..I don’t know how… it’s really weird, but I just knew. Except for my little boy, I never knew at all even though the signs were their. I know that it’s very unlikely to fall pregnant first time, never happened like that for me before, but now because I’m trying to get pregnant, the pressure and the wait feels unbearable! When you want something so badly it’s hard not to let it take over your mind xx I’m so sorry to hear of your losses so late on ladies, all till now my partner and I have mentioned our little ones that never made it and how old they’d be. But the idea of making it to the ‘safe zone’ then receiving that news 💔❤️‍🩹🌈….

Has anyone seen Stacey Solomons news on Instagram? So beautiful! She’s speaking about the joy and fear of now confirming pregnancy after experiencing losses xx

LeeTTCRainbow · 10/06/2021 14:20

@Danni744 oh lovely im sorry your having a down day and tough time, just remember its early days and your not out until AF shows.

Yes i saw stacey solomons announcement i cried through it, so glad she mentioned about her miscarriages, more women should be more open about them its not all clouds and rainbows, i actually suspected she was few weeks back she had been acting different, was so tired kept having naps and couldnt stop eating callipos haha, i love stacey such a positive, honest person she seems. xx

Catipepo · 10/06/2021 18:40

@Danni744 Sorry to hear it's not been a great day. Have been feeling similar, I hate this wait, it's such a rollercoaster. I've been having some cramps but not feeling hugely optimistic. It's all-consuming isn't it?! Feel like I need someone to come and give me a good shake and tell me to snap out of it 😂

TheDots · 10/06/2021 20:38

@LeeTTCRainbow haha!! I don't think I could be that subtle with chucking up! I didn't actually throw up but I was nauseous the whole time I just wanted to be sick! Lol love the humus 😂 I totally get that about the scans - I know I'm going to be so nervous at my next one. Totally agree about MC - my first one at 13 weeks was nothing like a bad period, it was more like what I imagine the start of labour is like!! My second at 5+2 was more period like but still not the same. Guess it just depends on how far along you are at the time.

@Danni744 so sorry to hear you're going through a rough day. You don't sound silly at all - I just knew too, it's a feeling you can't describe to anyone else. I knew it was going to consume me and I became quite stressed about it so I turned it into an educational piece for me - whenever I'm googling something I try to turn it into learning something about the process, women's body, hormones etc etc. That way I'm still allowing myself to think about it, google etc but without the additional pressure I'm putting on myself. Hope that makes sense?! Lol. I saw Stacey Solomons announcement too, I love how honest she is, makes it so much more relatable.
