Oh god no@Aims1991 I only tested once with DD and twice before my chemical. The only reason why I'm being a bit of a POAS maniac is because of the chemical and losing it at around 5 days after AF was due. I'll feel better if I see that line getting darker as I know little nugget has stuck. If I hadn't had experience the chemical I would never test this much! Xx

hoola23 · 02/12/2021 19:46

@CShandy01 I'm exactly the same! I've been doing 3 tests a day which o know is so stupid but I just don't trust it at the moment! I got a 25 pack for £7 off Amazon

Morning. How is everyone today?

hoola23 · 03/12/2021 08:21

@Aims1991 hey have you managed to keep quiet?! I'm still feeling crap and now my teeth/gums are hurting. It's like they feel itchy. So odd! Today is the day AF was due so first milestone 🤣🤣 how are you? Still on cloud 9 I bet!!

@hoola23 haha no i didn't manage to stay quiet. I stopped at shop on way home and bought a baby vest saying 2022 miracle and left the tests on top of it on his side of the bed and he walked out the shower in utter shock and excitement. He hasn't stopped taking about it🤣 my whole body is sore and I still have cramp

hoola23 · 03/12/2021 08:28

@Aims1991 🤣🤣🤣 I don't blame you!! That's so cute! Bet he is elated! Cramps are normal at this time I think as long as you're not in serious pain I wouldn't worry too much x

@hoola23 he was asking when I phone the doctors 🙈

CShandy01 · 03/12/2021 10:08

@Aims1991 @hoola23 I caved and had to tell DH but for different reasons...

He noticed I wasn't drinking as much wine as I do on a Thursday night (I'm off on Fridays) and he was quizzing me asking me if I'm alright. Tried to fob him off with the whole "the eye drops can't be taken with alcohol" but he correctly pointed out that I had shared a bottle of red with him when I first started taking them....

So I shouted WELL YOU'RE CHRISTMAS SURPRISE IS RUINED and told him. He went quiet and said "oh well that would have been a lush present, you should have done that." So I threw the cushion at him 😂😂

CShandy01 · 03/12/2021 10:08

@newtolineofduty how are you doing chick? How far along are you now?

@GemB03 @MrsRosaline @plantbasedlondoner @Lilmisscatelin how are you all doing? Getting excited for the Christmas run up? Xx

Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 14:40

@CShandy01 Atleast he knows now. A little bit of morale support is great.

My OH has texted me all day asking if I'm ok. Could be a long 9 months🤣

MrsRosaline · 03/12/2021 17:08

I'm doing OK. Everyone at my school seems to be off with Covid. I've had a headache last week and honestly I probably had Covid but all my lateral flows were negative. Wondering whether to write this month off too, even though I feel well. I don't know if it's safe if you've had Covid a week ago!? I had to write off last month because DH was sick, and the month before because of the miscarriage. I dunno 😥

newtolineofduty · 03/12/2021 19:59

@Aims1991 and @CShandy01 you have lovely DHs!!!!!!!!!!

I'm good thank you @CShandy01! Almost 12 weeks eek! Got our nhs scan next week and I can't wait to be able to tell the kids and everyone else! Starting to feel ever so slightly better so need to start thinking about eating better and exercise at some point!

@MrsRosaline that sounds rough hun x are you still wondering whether to go ahead with TTC number 2? X

Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 20:11

@newtolineofduty he's that excited he's just booked a 6 week scan

newtolineofduty · 03/12/2021 20:20

@Aims1991 that'll be so reassuring hun x once you've heard a heartbeat your risk plummets! Xxx

Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 20:30

@newtolineofduty it's booked for the 18th when I would be 6 weeks 3 days. We want to tell our mums n dads only before Christmas. To prevent them trying to offer me drink🤣 I'm excited but also nervous it's too early for a scan🤷🏻‍♀️ I called midwife today and I won't get a call back until 14th. Then will have to make further blood tests then scans, so it'll be after new year before anything

newtolineofduty · 03/12/2021 20:34

@Aims1991 I think it's just being prepared for the potential of it being too early to hear/detect anything-I believe the nearer you are to 7 it's better. I had a scan at 6 with my first and they had to do it transvaginally to get anything but this time a normal ultrasound picked it up at 6+3 no probs so it all depends where baby is etc! X

Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 20:40

@newtolineofduty yeah very true. I'm nervous but excited too. How are doing just now

newtolineofduty · 03/12/2021 20:45

Getting there thanks @Aims1991! 12 weeks and got a massive bloody belly already! X

Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 20:46

@newtolineofduty 12 weeks already wow seems like that's flew in.

hoola23 · 03/12/2021 21:17

Urgh so annoyed! Pink tinged cm so this is over! I had such high hopes for this one as well. Back to square one! At least I can drink over Xmas and my birthday next week though!

OP posts:
Aims1991 · 03/12/2021 21:29

@hoola23 oh no are you sure? Can you not get light spotting and it's normal?

hoola23 · 03/12/2021 21:35

@Aims1991 yeah you can but this is how my last miscarriage started. Pink CM that went to red blood and quite clearly a period so I know what's coming next!

OP posts:
CShandy01 · 03/12/2021 21:37

@hoola23 oh bless chick!! Are you absolutely sure that it's not just a light bleed? Have you got a test to take to see what it says?

You honestly never know with these things. Make sure you put your feet up and relax and don't do anything too strenuous xx

CShandy01 · 03/12/2021 21:40

@MrsRosaline hope you feel better soon ❤️ there's been a few nasty bugs going around our school with staff, but luckily it's not covid this time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we get hit with it before Christmas though. How are you feeling about the TTC journey? Xx

CShandy01 · 03/12/2021 21:41

@newtolineofduty how has the time flown by so quickly?!!! How are you feeling? Any cravings?? Xx
