@Worryant sorry to hear you've had a scare, encouraging you've seen a heartbeat though!

@FourOclock sorry you're feeling so nauseous! I had bad sickness with my first pregnancy and it was horrible!

@alwaysseeingstars congratulations! What's your due date and I'll add you to the pregnant list!!!

Congratulations @alwaysseeingstars ☺️

Worryant · 24/03/2022 17:17

I was 13th November but scan measurements put me back to 18th November. X

dearhummingbirds · 24/03/2022 17:36

@alwaysseeingstars congratulations! Grin
Interesting symptoms, especially with the not wanting coffee!

Dreamingof3 · 24/03/2022 17:47

@alwaysseeingstars congratulations 🎊 so lovely to have another bfp 😍

@Worryant how worrying for you! So glad they found a lovely little heartbeat and measuring with your dates is fab too, sending lots of love ❤️

@FourOclock I really feel for you, I had relentless nausea with you 2nd and found it much harder to deal with than actual sickness, hope you can get some rest x

Sunshine0987 · 24/03/2022 18:12

@alwaysseeingstars huge congratulations!! 😁

alwaysseeingstars · 24/03/2022 18:35

Thank you so much everyone 💛 @WingingIt09 due date is 3rd December 🥰
@dearhummingbirdsYeah the coffee thing is odd - you can’t normally stop me guzzling the stuff!!

LucyLoopyLu · 24/03/2022 18:53

@Worryant- sorry to hear about your scare! Hope the scan has put your mind at rest
@FourOclock - hope the nausea passes for you soon, it sounds exhausting!

@alwaysseeingstars - congrats on your BFP! Hope this means we are a lucky thread
@babyjellyfish - welcome to the April club!

OCM19 · 24/03/2022 18:55

lj2022 · 24/03/2022 19:47

@alwaysseeingstars congratulations it's amazing seeing another BFP in the group! Hopefully that's the ball rolling now we have a few and hopefully the BFPs continue

HeathenPlayingHouse · 24/03/2022 20:01

@alwaysseeingstars Congratulations! Those symptoms sound great, I remember the gassy feeling- that's what tipped me off on my BFP cycle!

Congratulations stars!

Beautyangel1 · 25/03/2022 07:22

Hi all,

Hope everyone is safe and well.

It's been 7 weeks since my erpc for a missed miscarriage. This week I have started to track ovulation using the clear blue advanced digital.
I have had 3 low days followed by 3 high days. When can I expect my peak fertility? Thank you all x

alwaysseeingstars · 25/03/2022 08:05

Thanks for the messages everyone! Bit of a downer this morning... had two negative tests. Any idea how this is possible, which I should believe etc?! Am now 14DPO so AF should be due around now but am irregular so hard to tell.. Could the CB digital be a false positive and the other 2 evaps?! Can easily believe the evaps but not sure how the digital could be wrong Sad (for info it was a CB digital again this morning that said not pregnant, 24 hours after the first). No bleeding yet, if it were a chemical would the HCG drop that quickly?

@Beautyangel1 peak should be on it's way in the next few days Smile

NarnieJoy · 25/03/2022 13:15

@alwaysseeingstars so sorry to hear this morning that it was negative, I really hope you are ok. could you get hold of a different brand? Lots of hugs

alwaysseeingstars · 25/03/2022 13:36

@NarnieJoy thanks, really kind of you. Definitely was a bit of a shock!! I assumed with a chemical that a bleed would happen before the test showed negative.. but admittedly I don't know much about them! Typically now feeling more 'pregnant' than I did yesterday as woke up with sore boobs and nausea!! So that's a v cruel trick if it's no longer viable.
Am going to pop into the pharmacy after work and hope they have something else, just to put my mind at rest!
Where are you in your cycle currently? :)

lj2022 · 25/03/2022 13:41

@alwaysseeingstars so sorry to hear that! How many DPO are you? Can only imagine how disheartened you must feel especially if you have symptoms still

alwaysseeingstars · 25/03/2022 14:09

@lj2022 thank you, am only 14DPO currently - I would say this will be a reminder to me not to test early but I'm sure I'll still do it anyway!! It's really tough knowing when to test to be honest with irregular cycles. Feeling v down today as you can't help but let your mind run away with things.
Whereabouts are you in your cycle? :)

lj2022 · 25/03/2022 14:14

@alwaysseeingstars must be so hard having irregular cycles how are you tracking ? I'm CD 7 in my cycle but I have been ovulating late around CD19/20 which is frustrating. We spend all these years preventing then it turns out not to be that easy. As you said hard to know when to test especially if you're irregular

alwaysseeingstars · 25/03/2022 14:20

@lj2022 I've been using CB ovulation tests, think I'll have to switch to the cheap OPK's that people on here recommend otherwise this TTC lark is going to be V expensive! I just get stressed out deciphering lines so the CB ones have been easy & less stressful so far haha.
Ah that is annoying.. I've heard B6 can be good for helping ovulation/luteal phase, not looked into it though... ?

lj2022 · 25/03/2022 14:35

@alwaysseeingstars yea I have cheap opks but not used them yet. I'm using natural cycles to do my BBT each morning because it's the only way to fully confirm ovulation apart from blood tests so gives me peace of mind that I'm definitely ovulating. I've read that too b6 and vitamin c so I started b6 this month along with a conception vitamin and will add in Vit C if I feel there's no difference in the next 2 months so 🤞 you're right though this TTC thing can become pricey

PinkButtercups · 26/03/2022 06:19

Hey everyone.

Congratulations to the new BFP's since I've last been on.

I took a bit of a break as I just felt really down and AF is due today. Still no PFB. I haven't tested since 2 days ago and have no more tests. Might get some today depending on if AF shows.
