@PamelaDoov oh no how strange maybe just your body is gearing up for O 🤞🏻

PamelaDoov · 28/02/2022 15:42

@arianasky I hope so but you’d think I’d have better opks! Decided I’m gonna DTD tonight, was gonna start tomorrow but I don’t want to risk missing ovulation, even if I’m 99% sure it’s not ovulation 😅

HoneyLemon29 · 28/02/2022 15:51

Thank you @ArcEnCiel2022 and I'm really sorry about your loss and that you wasn't taken seriously as well. Any pregnancy from me will now be high risk with a 10% increase of more Ectopics so I think I'll be straight in 🤞

3x first response tests have been ordered ready for testing in a couple of days.
Had to order them online because does anyone else get bad anxiety walking into shops getting them just incase you're seen? 😅 costs a bit more but o well 😂 x

Sparklesurprise29 · 28/02/2022 15:51

Thanks @aesgriff! Sendings hugs to you, such a worrying time but hopefully the bleeding will stop soon, could be some irritation from your cervix or something 💕 so worrying though, you just want it to stop 😪

@skl2021 Yep did a test last night at 9DPO, was a BFN😔 but still early hoping I can hold off till wednesday and use FMU, that will make me 12 dpo💕 yep sore boobs and bloated, getting more creamy cm too but might just be symptoms that AF will start soon🙈 amazing!! 8 weeks😍 keeping my fingers crossed that the rest of your 1st trimester is smooth sailing💕

Skl2021 · 28/02/2022 15:54

@Sparklesurprise29 your still early I didn't get a hint of a line until 11 dpo and that was with a frer. Just looked like a shadow. So 🤞 your symptoms sound promising! Yes now it's going slow though I had my miscarriage at ten weeks so as I'm approaching that point I'm getting more nervous. Might be able to breathe a little if I get past that point! 🤞 X

@aesgriff did you hear back? Xx

MangoLipstick · 28/02/2022 16:03

Just catching up from last few days, I hope everyone is feeling ok.

@Skl2021 I’m glad you saw wee baby’s heartbeat ❤️ I know you will be anxious no matter what anyone says, so I will say no more.

I got my peak on Sat morning according to opks (CD21) pretty sure I ovulated later that day too, judging from symptoms. Managed to dtd Fri eve, Sat and Sun so think we should have covered it! Officially in the 2WW now.
Wish me luck 🍀

Cruz86 · 28/02/2022 16:10

Thank you all. My little one has been given antibiotics and I'm curled up under the duvet with honey and lemon because I can't have much else 😩 My whole body aches but it's worrying me because my lower back and hips are so sore. Just hoping it's the illness and nothing else.

On the plus side, I'm getting my progesterone checked tomorrow so I'll be armed with info ready for my appointment at epu next week!

The spotting is on and off at the moment @bunnykins123 and @aesgriff. And it's a mixture of brown, pink and red, but always mixed with cm. How's yours been today @aesgriff? Have you had any luck with epu?

Good luck to all in the TWW! I'm rooting for you ☺️

arianasky · 28/02/2022 16:10

@PamelaDoov good idea, always best to cover it 😂

@MangoLipstick ooh exciting, good luck for this cycle 🙏🏻

aesgriff · 28/02/2022 16:21

Wow ladies two whole pages to catch up on 🤩

@HoneyLemon29 I frequently want to snap at my partner. I’ll say ‘just tell me everything’s going to be okay’ so he’ll say ‘it’s all going to be okay’… to which I usually then say ‘but how do you know that’ 🤣🤣 let us know how you get on with your taking your blood test xx

@Skl2021 it’s so rubbish isn’t it!! I feel they just judge you and are sooo condescending. I haven’t heard back from that at all! They closed at 5pm. If j haven’t heard I suppose I just have to leave another voicemail tomorrow 🤷🏻‍♀️ xx

@speake it’s so hard isn’t it 😫 I’m still taking MyOva and metformin but not aspirin. Still no word from EPU. How are you feeling since this mornings results? Xx

@Ganesh2022 nope, I’m within a LA. I feel like I have imposter syndrome 99.9% of the time.. feel like someone’s going to out me! Xx

@Sparklesurprise29 here’s hoping it’s just irritation 🤞🏻 Your symptoms sound promising! Xx

@Cruz86 my spotting has turned my brown blood tinged mucus this afternoon. I think it’s tapering off so 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Really hope you get well soon ♥️♥️ Xx

bunnykins123 · 28/02/2022 16:46

@Cruz86 it's good news it's not progressed and seems to be the same. I'm sure it's just implantation - which is a good sign, as the beanie is really burrowing in! Awh you poor thing, being sick whilst pregnant is no fun. Hope you and DS feel better soon!

@MangoLipstick good luck! I'm in the TWW now - planning to use a progesterone pellet tonight. Who knows if it'll help 🤷‍♀️

@HoneyLemon29 🙋‍♀️ I'm on boots so frequently that the staff have seen me alternate between FRER, CB sticks and conception vits. Maybe they will celebrate with me when I get a sticky bean?!

@Bridgey8 im sorry to hear that. Hopefully the antibiotics clear it up 🤞

@ArcEnCiel2022 im so sorry that happened to you. It's so frustrating that so many ladies on here seem to really battle to be seen by the EPU. I hope you're doing okay 💕

@arianasky it's so annoying! I get really anxious that DH might not be around during that period too (which often happens!) with the CB tests - just checking your using the purple tipped ones and not the pink ones? The pink don't give you a flashy face (I did 3 months using these wondering why the heck mine always went from nothing to smiley!) I use the purple now but have had 8 flashies in the past 🥴

speake · 28/02/2022 16:51

@aesgriff I’m so sorry that you haven’t heard back from them, it’s so shocking how low on their priority list early pregnancy / early miscarriage is. Although really positive that the spotting has gone back to brown, hopefully that’s it stopping and you’ll have no more 🤞🏼

I’m feeling ok, my issues haven’t started until I’ve been 8 weeks and 10 weeks gestation previously so I keep telling myself that everything would’ve been ok this time on the last two as well so all these tests aren’t as much comfort as I had hoped 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m also so guilty of snapping at my husband, he doesn’t appreciate the medical degree that I have from the university of Google & how well read we all are on every little thing. He also doesn’t understand (despite this being our 4th pregnancy) that gestation is calculated from the first day of your last period so when we tell people how far along we are he says “or so you say” “doubtful” or something like that and it makes me want to punch him in the face 😂😂 it’s a known fact that, that is how you date a pregnancy!!

Hope you all have a lovely evening ladies xxx

aesgriff · 28/02/2022 16:54

@speake yes!!! I feel you!! Medical degree from the university of Google 🤣🤣 agreed! Feel I know more than EPU at this point although that’s not hard 🙄 I’ll call again in the morning.
My other half said to me earlier ‘stressing yourself out isn’t going to help the bleeding’. I literally think my head turned a full 360° and I just glared at him and told him to not say anything so stupid in his life again and he quickly left for work.
The ‘or so you say so’ 😩🤣 Honestly what are they like!! Xx

arianasky · 28/02/2022 17:27

@bunnykins123 regarding you popping into boots and them celebrating with you that had me laughing then 😂😂 well the last three times I've had the pink one so that's why it went straight to static I only realised that last month aswell 😂 but I have a purple one this month and that is still a blank circle at the moment hopefully I'll get a flashy tomorrow 🤞🏻

HoneyLemon29 · 28/02/2022 17:38

@speake you've just reminded me of a situation in hospital I got really fucked off over in the EPAU (the dating pregnancies part) after my chemical I got pregnant straight away, I classed my miscarriage bleeding as AF bleeding. So 2 weeks after the start of bleeding I got a positive OPK, Then 2 weeks later my test turned positive before I had a natural AF after chemical. I went in and told the doctor I was 4 weeks. And he legit said (how can you be 4 weeks if your chemical bleeding started 4 weeks ago) I flew into an emotional wreck.
I said well technically I'm 2 weeks since ovulation! And you add 2 on don't you!
He continued to say well your miscarriage wasn't a period so it can't be correct.
Then he proceeded to say this could be hormones from the chemical...
and then lost it even more and said excuse me. My HCG levels went from 86 to 8 in less than a week in this very room 4 weeks ago! And I made sure I had a negative FRER after I ovulated incase the LH surge was HCG. I wish I could see that doctor again I really do so I can tell him I was indeed correct with my dates. 🥴🥴 had to let that out 🤭😂

@aesgriff I will let you know, it's coming tomorrow 🎉

@bunnykins123
I used to switch between different boots stores so I didn't look crazy to them 🤣 now I'm just getting home deliveries 🤭

HoneyLemon29 · 28/02/2022 17:39

And @aesgriff it's when my partner says "I'll agree to disagree"
Omg I could give him blue balls 🤭🤣

aesgriff · 28/02/2022 17:43

So sorry for the picture, and so, so sorry if it triggers anyone, but I think it’s all over. Waiting for my partner to come home then we’re gonna call 111. EPU never called back and I tried ringing my GP who said they’re fully booked tonight 😞 xx

🌈Ttc after miscarriage thread 5 💕✨🤞🌈
arianasky · 28/02/2022 18:00

@aesgriff oh no I'm so sorry, I've got everything crossed that it's just bleeding and not worse 😞 I hope you're ok? Im thinking of you and praying all will be ok 🙏🏻❤️

Skl2021 · 28/02/2022 18:01

@MangoLipstick thankyou 💞 good luck with the tww Keepimg everything crossed for you 💞🙌 xx

@Cruz86 hope you and little one are better soon take it easy 💞 hope your progesterone results come back ok 🤞🙌 xx

@aesgriff I'm so sorry this is happening to you and no one is offering to help you 😥 definitely ring 111 or even go to a+e u need to be seen 💞 keep strong were all here for you xxx

HoneyLemon29 · 28/02/2022 18:02

@aesgriff I'm so so sorry this is happening to you I really am 💜 all my love to you 🥺

I have just went to the toilet and have spots of blood in my underwear..
I've wiped but kind of stuck the tissue in a little if that makes sense. And it's extremely light pink and minimal 😖 6DPO

ArcEnCiel2022 · 28/02/2022 18:05

@aesgriff I'm so sorry this is happening to you, I hope you can be seen really soon. Thinking of you 💞

bunnykins123 · 28/02/2022 18:38

@HoneyLemon29 I know, I really really should but I'm so disorganised (and also very impatient!) so when I want to test, it's like I've got to test NOW!

@arianasky haha, I honestly think they might give me a little 'whoop' if I finally can get one to stick 😂 ah you made the same mistake as me then! I literally didn't realise there was a difference until I bought the wrong one, then the penny dropped...😂

bunnykins123 · 28/02/2022 18:40

@aesgriff oh no, hun I'm so so sorry this is happening. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to panic just yet. Women do bleed red in successful pregnancies and this pregnancy could just be one of them 🤞. Perhaps it's the pessaries? Are you taking any other medication, as I know aspirin can cause bleeding? I'm thinking if you right now, big hugs 😂

Ganesh2022 · 28/02/2022 18:42

@aesgriff I'm sorry, you must be terrified. I am hoping this is a case of benign "one of those things" bleeding for you.
