1 dpo today - anyone with me??

[weathervane123]

Title says it all really! 1 dpo today and feeling a bit down and tired already! Not looking forward to the next two weeks. Have had three losses in six months this year so getting a bfp is only the first hurdle. Trying to stay positive but for some reason I feel like this month we didn’t have sex enough.

[weathervane123]

@MaybeBabyAli I’m so sorry thats happening. It’s super unnerving and stressful. The fact you’re five days early though could suggest it’s a pregnancy-related bleed rather than AF, but I see why you’re concerned. Here’s a virtual cupcake: 🧁 (no eclair emoji!) I really hope you’re okay. Do let us know how you get on xx

[ExcitedtoTry]

Fingers crossed for you @MaybeBabyAli

I’m not feeling so great about this month now. I’ve got PMT symptoms today. Very emotional & blue.

[Cruz86]

I don't think 31 days is a long cycle @FlyOnTheWall89. That's how long my cycle was with my first and I tended to ovulate around day 21! How are you feeling this evening?

[Cruz86]

PMT symptoms are pretty much the same as pregnancy symptoms @ExcitedtoTry! Are you going to test or see if af arrives?

I was thinking about getting some early test kits tomorrow. I’m in a serious funk and get like this every month. Proper woe is me feeling so I think it is genuine PMT. Damn it.

What day did you test? I saw your positive result above - congratulations!

[Cruz86]

Ah man, that's really frustrating @ExcitedtoTry. When is af due?

Thank you! I tested yesterday at 10dpo 😊

Halloween! Hmm ok, I’m going to follow your lead and hopefully have the same outcome! Will test on Monday. Thanks for the info! I’m so new to this.

I imagine we’re all going to be working from home again v.soon and I would love to see out the first trimester completely at home. I can wear joggers all day for starters

[Cruz86]

Oh you've still got a little while then @ExcitedtoTry! Do you know when you ovulated? Give it take a couple of days x

[MaybeBabyAli]

I tested this morning with FMU and got nothing at all. I kind of expected this as I am still bleeding. I guess this means I either had a false positive yesterday or it was a chemical. Feeling a bit sorry for myself but if it was a chemical at least it means that we can conceive… Onto the next cycle!

Good luck with your testing @ExcitedtoTry!

Morning ladies.
So a little update. I'm 11 dpo , and I don't wanna shout it out, but I think I've got the faintest line. Yesterday at my bday dinner had 2 cocktails , but after that felt like I wanna throw up 🤢 before we went I did a test but was negative, so was like it's my birthday I will have a drink or 2.
Today morning I again did a test. And I can't believe my eyes. Boots own brand within the time frame came up a 2.line

[Bell024]

Is it really there?? 🥺🥺🥺 I've been in tears 😢 🥰😍🥺🥺🥺

[FlyOnTheWall89]

@Bell024 there is something for sure but it’s very faint rn so hard to tell if it’s an indent. Be patient and try to wait a bit. Fingers crossed for you!

[MaybeBabyAli]

@Bell024 I can definitely see something. I would test again tomorrow and see if it’s stronger 🤞🏼

[Cruz86]

Oh I'm really sorry @MaybeBabyAli 😔 I really hope you get your bfp soon. Look after yourself ❤️

[Cruz86]

Hope you had a lovely birthday dinner @Bell024, even if you did feel sick afterwards!! I can definitely see a line. Is it a blue or pink dye test? X

[Bell024]

@Cruz86 it's a pink dye test. And it has pinkish colour . Unfortunately the camera doesn't show it back. Birthday dinner was lovely, my husband really did his best 👌 😍

[Bell024]

I'm going to get more tests 😅😁😁😁

[Cruz86]

If it has a pinkish colour that's a good sign!! Glad you have a lovely dinner. Update us when you've done another @Bell024!

[Peonies94]

Congratulations @MaybeBabyAli @weathervane123 .. how long have you both been trying? How many DPO are you?
I was presented with AF this morning 😭! This means my LF is only 10 days too this month! Really short compared to my usual range! So happy for you guys though! @Cruz86 hope your feeling okay!

[Cruz86]

Oh no, sorry to hear af arrived @Peonies94!! My lp is 9-10 days as well so try not to worry too much about that. Easier said than done, I know, but I Googled so much and became a little obsessive thinking I'd never be able to fall pregnant because of it 🤦🏼‍♀️ even though it was about that when I conceived my son too haha!

[weathervane123]

Morning ladies!

@ExcitedtoTry Fingers crossed that PMT is a good sign! I'm with you on the wfh joggers situation. At the moment I'm only travelling in one day a week and I'd prefer not to, especially if this pregnancy progresses! Hoping for my current wfh arrangement to be made permanent but HR are quibbling. Grr.

@MaybeBabyAli I'm so sorry. That's rough. How are you feeling today? It did look to me like a genuine positive not an indent - if so, it's very good news you can conceive. I really hope that next cycle is your time.

@Bell024 I see a line. Didn't even need to click on your photo! If it's pinky, looking good! Definitely test in a couple of days and keep us posted. Exciting! Glad you had a good birthday dinner!

@Peonies94 I started after a period in late feb. Been pregnant three times this year - one mmc, one ectopic, one mc. This is number four. I'm a bit anxious and am trying to manage expectations. I tested at yesterday at 10dpo, so 11dpo today. AF supposedly due tomorrow, but cycles are a bit of a mess thanks to the losses. Sorry to hear AF arrived! Have a chat with your GP about short LP. It's not necessarily an issue but it can help to put your mind at rest.

@Cruz86 How are you today? I started my progesterone suppositories last night so am feeling a bit more pregnant now (tightness in tummy, mildly tender boobs). It's such a red herring because of the hormone, I kind of wish I could know whether I actually need them or not so I can stop taking them if it's totally unnecessary!

[Cruz86]

Morning @weathervane123! My last bit of spotting was yesterday morning, touch wood. Did your gp sort out the suppositories? My gp said it's not something they do so I didn't have much luck yesterday 😩 fancy posting some to me? 😂 I don't really have any symptoms to be honest which is quite worrying.

[weathervane123]

@Cruz86 I've got them because of the losses. My consultant pulled rank and made my GP give them to me. Lol. I'm actually running out so I have to run that gauntlet again. Sigh.

I don't think I'd have any symptoms either were it not for the dose of progesterone last night. Have you tested again since Thurs? I don't think lack of symptoms is a necessarily bad sign (this is what Google tells me anyway!). It's when you've had them and lost them all, AND your lines are lighter, that it's maybe concerning.

[Cruz86]

Well done to your consultant!! I wonder if they'll test your progesterone or just keep you on them regardless @weathervane123? I hope that is the case! I am very tired but I'm also just getting over Covid so who knows 🤷🏼‍♀️

[weathervane123]

Who knows! I keep getting pregnant so there hasn't been much opportunity to test me, but even the recurrent miscarriage clinic hasn't bothered to do anything but do a thrombophilia screen (clotting disorders). I'm waiting on the results of follow up tests now, but everything there was fine first time.

It sounds like good news that your spotting has eased up. I wonder if Covid wasn't to blame there a bit there? Illness can definitely mess with cycles I think. I'd say put your feet up and treat yourself!
