@Danani I’m in shock feel nervous lol I need to go buy the frer today as the early ones I’m using just from eBay- I also have cb digital but I no they won’t show anything yet xx

Cruz86 · 18/10/2021 08:56

Sorry to hear about your situation @Mummybearto3bg. I have no advice to give I'm afraid but if it were me, I'd probably be ringing the drs to find out what's going on. Thinking of you.

@Elsols93 a lovely line! Congratulations and hope this is a sticky on for you.

@Danani you've got some great symptoms!! I really have my fingers crossed for a bfp for you!! You're so good waiting til Friday to test. And love your words of encouragement to @Firsttimetrier - of which I wholeheartedly agree 😊

@HRHXO happy DTD week! Wooo.

Bubblyunicorn · 18/10/2021 09:00

[quote BH1926]@Nailingnow I'm so sorry 😒 hope you are okay. I'm currently going through a chemical too.

@Bubblyunicorn can I ask how long you bled for with chemical? I started spotting on Sat and then heavy bleeding Sunday with clots (sorry tmi) but as day went on very little. I was expecting it to be more like period as I'm normally heavy first few days.

Be grateful for any info on experience with chemical pregnancies as everything I've read totally differs. Do I test again to see if it's negative or just leave it? Will my cycle be changed now? Sorry I'm just confused with it all. Xx[/quote]
I was spotting for 4 days then heavy for 7 days with mine and my test was faint then completely negative when I was spotting Sad big hugs n love hun it's horrible really is xx

Squiff70 · 18/10/2021 09:02

Morning ladies.

I'm 12 DPO today and just got a big fat negative on a FRER. Gutted. DH said last night after I had a shower he thought I was pregnant. My boobs are massive, swollen and very painful.

I just want AF to come now 😭

Elsols93 · 18/10/2021 09:40

Sorry to hear about your chemical @BH1926 & @Bubblyunicorn sending lots of love ❀️

And the BFNS will hopefully be BFPS very soon

Xxx

Elsols93 · 18/10/2021 09:41

@Cruz86 thank you really hope it is glad you can all see it thought I was going crazy at first xxx

Mummybearto3bg · 18/10/2021 09:43

@Mummytobe93 like clock work! Thank you. Good luck for your bfp on weds :-) xx

Firsttimetrier · 18/10/2021 09:51

@Danani haha, we did DTD plenty from CD5 to CD14 when I had a flashy smiley but then ran out of tests, so didn’t continue testing. I’m guessing that ovulation was either CD15 or CD16 based on EWCM and ovulation pain.

So just hoping there was plenty lurkers ready and awaiting for the egg.

Cruz86 · 18/10/2021 09:54

Sorry to hear about the negative @Squiff70 😩 I really hope AF doesn't turn up and it's just taking a bit longer to get your bfp.

@Firsttimetrier I don't think you need to worry! And if it's any consolation, we DTD every single night for a good couple of weeks, but I'm out this month and have already started spotting at 6dpo.

Firsttimetrier · 18/10/2021 09:57

@Cruz86 I hope you aren’t out! Do you think the spotting could be due to Covid or even implantation bleeding?

misstickhill · 18/10/2021 09:59

Morning everyone.
I caved and did a FRER this morning at 9dpo and it was BFN. I knew it would be. Looking at the stats, most women get a positive at 9dpo so I’m counting myself out this month. Onto cycle #3

Leibee87 · 18/10/2021 10:04

Morning ladies. Sorry to hear about the Bfn and AFs.

Currently 4/5dpo but my temp dipped this morning so I don't think this is the month.. Still one half of my brain is like "this is the month" and bloody symptom spotting for example, more tearful, shattered like knackered is an understatement and sore boobs and twingey abdomen but am sure I had that last month too. Af isn't due for 11 more days though so got a long wait.

Cruz86 · 18/10/2021 10:10

I wish it was @Firsttimetrier but I get it every month so it's no different to normal 😩

You're not out yet @misstickhill! It is still early.

BH1926 · 18/10/2021 10:11

@Elsols93 good line! Fingers crossed you've a sticky one ❀️

Thanks ladies for info on CP. I was expecting heavy bleeding for at least a few days however only bled heavy yesterday AM and eased off during afternoon and today light again but brown now. Test still showing positive (same line as before not lighter yet) but I know it will take a few days for HCG to go down so will retest in a few days to just make sure everything going back normal xx

Effram · 18/10/2021 10:33

Have just caught up with everyone from Friday onwards, it's been a rollercoaster of a thread.Sending lots of love to @Nailingnow and @BH1926 (and keeping fingers crossed for you in case)

huge congrats to @Elsols93 and @Emsjourney

@Danani a huge increase in CM was one of my main pregnancy symptoms! it sounds promising!

I am 6DPO I think and continue to feel nauseous, have ordered some one steps that are due to arrive on Thursday so will probably crack and test Friday, I'm due on Sunday I think. Have had the busiest weekend ever which was quite good really as had no time to think about things, and this week should be busy too so just trying to stay occupied!

Good luck to the other testers this week!

Effram · 18/10/2021 12:55

oh and @SammiStap I am SO sorry, I was so convinced this was your time!

Effram · 18/10/2021 12:56

oh bugger, my one steps just arrived. I'm not going to have the resolve I need here!

lemons44 · 18/10/2021 13:51

So sorry for those who are going through CPs ☹️ I'm sending you big hugs.

lemons44 · 18/10/2021 13:53

Hi girls,

I am still on this thread (although in the background as I'm only on CD5 so not much going on).

Just wondered if anybody else is on mental health medication whilst TTC? I'm currently on citalopram.

Xx

Squiff70 · 18/10/2021 14:56

How is everyone?

Hi @lemons44. I'm on an anti depressant but it cannot be taken at all during pregnancy. Even though I'm not pregnant I'm weaning off it. How are you finding the Citalopram?

I had a small amount of pink spotting earlier this morning when I wiped but nothing since. It's probably AF teasing me and starting very slowly as I'm very bloated and crampy. No idea what's doing on though.

Do it @Effram! You know you wanna...!

Cruz86 · 18/10/2021 15:04

Afternoon!

I would definitely test in a couple of days @Effram 😬

My light brown spotting has now turned into full on bright red blood. Definitely not my normal first day flow which is typically very heavy and very painful. So still classing it as spotting, but weird that it's bright red!

HRHXO · 18/10/2021 15:09

@lemons44 I take propranolol for anxiety and I have sertraline but I've never taken it as I've heard the side effects (not TTC related) can be quite intense and I bottled it haha. I feel a lot better recently anyway. Hope you are doing okay.

Elsols93 · 18/10/2021 15:28

So I couldn’t resist and went out to by the frer...

Please let this baby be healthy and all go smoothly ❀️

Xxx

Hi everyone
I have been passively following this thread but have only just gotten access to my account to be able to post (for some reason it wasn't working). Hope it isn't too late to join in!
I am 12 DPO today and feeling like AF is about to arrive sadly - bad cramps yesterday and today, plus I track my temps and it dropped today so I think it's a waiting game now. We are only on month 3 of TTC baby number 2 but feeling a little deflated today and first time round it all happened very quickly!

Squiff70 · 18/10/2021 15:30

WOO HOO @Elsols93 what a beautiful BFP! Congratulations! Flowers
