@BH1926 how you feeling today xx

BoyMum18 · 13/10/2021 20:13

Right ladies! Has anyone had lower back pain/pain that goes down bum into leg?
I'm trying not to get my hopes up but had this pain when I fell pregnant with my son! 🀞🏻

positiveovernegative · 13/10/2021 20:29

@BoyMum18 yes, sounds like sciatic pain I had this with my first pregnancy but not had it in any of my pregnancies since x

Yeah I had it with my son, don't know if it was implantation that caused it or what. But I've had abdomen cramps on and off since weekend and now this so you never know

positiveovernegative · 13/10/2021 20:50

@BoyMum18 fingers crossed for you xx

Hi ladies! I love how there is a second thread already! I have really struggled with TTC since my miscarriage in January. I often feel very lonely but being able to chat in these threads help like I would never have imagined! ❀️

AF due Monday and every. single. day. is. dragging 🀣
I feel bad for wishing my life away ha ha but the tww is so intense x

Squiff70 · 13/10/2021 22:04

@Missy95 thank you so much for your kind words on the previous thread and I am truly sorry for your loss also. Loneliness is a huge issue, isn't it? I feel the same. My dad said things like "never mind, try again" which is as unhelpful as anyone can be IMO. He meant well but had no idea how much those words hurt, and still do.

I know what you mean about every day dragging! I've cracked twice in the last day or two and tested twicee even though I know it's too early really and the ICs I have are out of date anyway. The urge to POAS is real Blush

Stay strong. Do you plan to test over the weekend or leave it until next week?

misstickhill · 13/10/2021 22:23

Hi everyone. Just on the topic of supplements, I’ve been speaking to a homeopath who said that lots of her clients have reported messed up cycles with Pregnacare and instead recommended these www.fertilityfamily.co.uk/impryl/

LNS19 · 13/10/2021 22:33

Hi all, may I join? Long term lurker here πŸ€ͺ

Congratulations to all with their BFP, this has been such a lucky thread (well the previous one!)

You are all such a lovely supportive group. How is everyone doing?

Now on month 8 of TTC number 2. Already have a DD who is 2.5.

AF due tomorrow or Friday, I’ve been testing this week and just getting BFN sadly. I’ve been using the cheap strip ones (I’ve spent faaar too much on FRER this year!) Have had some usual PMS symptoms so had sort of ruled this month out. That was until today when I had the most random brown spotting in my knickers (sorry TMI) but nothing when I wiped and nothing since which is so unusual for me. I didn’t get implantation bleeding with my first pregnancy so unsure if it’s that but after some Googling it’s given me a little bit of hope that maybe I’m not out just yet!

Has anyone else had spotting before their BFP?!

BH1926 · 13/10/2021 22:56

@positiveovernegative I was sick this morning and nauseous the rest of the day. Been getting a pulling sensation in lower abdomen too. Praying it's not AF! How are you? xx

Firsttimetrier · 13/10/2021 23:05

Hey gals, as if we are on thread two and mid way into October πŸ˜‚

I think the ship has sailed for me, my work do overran so didn’t we won’t capture tonight, but I’m kind of okay with that.

I don’t expect a BFP for me this month but keeping my fingers crossed you all get yours 🀞🏽🀞🏽🀞🏽

Leibee87 · 14/10/2021 00:28

Hi ladies,

Question, I'm using the digital clear blue ovulation sticks and had circles all week and today a static smiley. Shouldn't I have flashing ones before the static? I test with my fmw. It says once you get the static smiley not to test anymore? Not due to ovulate till Sunday so confused. This evening I started getting pain in my left side so I think it is probably right but I don't know? Dtd yesterday and tonight just incase. Confused and kinda wasn't prepared for the tww so quick πŸ˜‚ I did a cheap opk strip tonight though and don't think it was positive? Surely the surge lasts? Also looked at my btt chart and my temp had gone down last two days not up?Idk. Anyway can't dtd tomorrow so done all I can for this month. Do I do a cheap test in the morning and carry on or do I call it?

positiveovernegative · 14/10/2021 05:58

@Leibee87 Hey
The cheap opk tend to pick up the surfer a day later than the digital ones.
Dtd the next 48 hours and you should catch your ovulation. Sounds positive πŸ‘πŸ½ good luck x

positiveovernegative · 14/10/2021 06:00

@BH1926 that sounds hopeful.
Yesterday was very optimistic very nauseous and tender boobs but 4:30am woke up with severe abdominal pain and bleeding so looks like another chemical for me. That's 4 since we've been trying 😫
Still waiting to hear back from consultant as was referred last cycle (was hoping I wouldn't need them) but looks like I definitely do 😭

Mummybearto3bg · 14/10/2021 07:15

I took this test this morning. Can you see it? I can clearly see but the camera isn't picking it up very well! I genuinely thought no chance this month so now I'm going to have to spend my entire Bank balance on more tests?! Ahh

@Mummybearto3bg definitely see a faint line there 🀞🏽 hope it all works out for you 😘

Missy95 · 14/10/2021 07:23

@Squiff70 yes im totally with you there! I often get 'oh at least you know you can get pregnant' which does not help as is now proving to not be so correct, we are on cycle 9 or 10 of ttc now! Im actually losing count haha. I tested yesterday morning and got a BFP so ideally I should wait until next week but I have a frer left in the cupboard so its very tempting haha!

@Mummybearto3bg I think I can just about see something there! Fingers crossed ✨

Mummytobe93 · 14/10/2021 07:24

Morning

I’m sorry to hear that @positiveovernegative ! If it is indeed another chemical, it’s definitely worth getting the consultant on the case to find out what’s causing them. There’s so many ways the medicine can support fertility , I’m sure you’ll get your sticky bean very soon! Sending lots of love πŸ’•

7DPO for me, I woke up with an on and off pinching feeling on my left side, feels more like where the ovary is than the uterus…
Also, I’m not sure if I wee more frequently than usual, but my ability to hold has definitely decreased - when I need to go I need to go ASAP, even when my bladder isn’t that full. A bit like UTI but without the pain & discomfort.

How’s everyone else doing? πŸ€

Mummybearto3bg · 14/10/2021 07:24

@positiveovernegative I'm shaking Blush only thing I'm wondering is that I was due on sunday/Monday just gone so would of thought it would be blazing bright by now. App said I ovulated on the 23/09 but I had ovulation bleeding on the 26th so that would be 18dpo! Seems far too light. Hopefully it's not a horrible evap. X

Missy95 · 14/10/2021 07:24

@positiveovernegative sorry to hear you think you may be having another chemical pregnancy. I have everything crossed that this isn't true. Take care xx

Mummybearto3bg · 14/10/2021 07:28

@positiveovernegative sorry to hear you think you may be having a chemical. Sorry to sound so insensitive with my test, I should of looked at previous messages. Hope you're ok x

Ahhh morning! So much to catch up on!

@positiveovernegative, I am so sorry lovely! I wish I had something to say that will make you feel better…I hope you get your dr appointment quickly so they can look into this for you and get you on the right path! Just know that we are all rooting for you! Things are going to happen for you! Trust! ❀️

@Mummybearto3bg I think I could see a smidge of something on that test! You know the advice, give it 48 h before retesting. Fingers crossed it’s the beginning of a BFP! 🀞🏻

@Mummytobe93 every day I read your update and think β€œYup, pregnant!”! The pulling pinching sensation, are you kidding me? Such a great sign!!! Ahhh I’m so excited for you to test on the weekend! I can feel the good news coming!!! πŸ€žπŸ»πŸ€
