[Skl2021]

New thread ladies 🌈🌈🌈

Good luck with your progesterone test @HoneyLemon29. I'm glad we've inspired you to do it. I think it just better informs us and arms us with knowledge if we need to go to the gp! X

@Passenger87 thanks 💞 glad IV got this group it can be real lonely especially when midwives don't help! X

@Tofu35 yes she didn't even say anything about my miscarriage just asked how many I had. It feels like years already 🙈🤦 x

@bunnykins123 I hate it when they say it's normal tho cos as we know it sometimes isn't 😩🤦 just hope it doesn't happen again xx

@speake I lived in a bubble for a good few weeks too nothing wrong with that. Glad u can get an early scan with epu! U will feel ready soon 💞 are u still testing or have u stopped? How many dpo are you now? X

@aesgriff my boobs hurt on n off and sometimes tingle 🙊 I'm sure Friday will be fine 💞 were all behind you! Yes early scans are so expensive one nearest to us is 70 and I don't really want to pay that but I don't know if I can last until 12 weeks! X

@calimc83 I'm doing ok still got backache and getting some stomach pains but not as bad as yesterday. I don't know if I trust there judgement after last time I had the same symptoms and they said it was normal but it led to miscarriage 🤦 xx

@arianasky I'm not doing to bad IV calmed down alot. I'm thinking about maybe having one I'm not quite sure yet x

What is all this talk of blood tests 🤣 🙊 Iv only been gone a couple of hours!! Xx

@Cruz86 I think I'll be jumping on the testing wagon tomorrow! In my head I know its too early but its playing on my mind all day and I have tonnes of cheapies there.

There's still plenty of time this cycle for both of us

@Cruz86 @calimc83 have I missed some testing?! Can't keep up! 🙊

@Skl2021 it turns out there's home blood tests that you can order (finger prick) tests that you send off again that can tell you all sorts fertility related. Medicheck it's called. Including HCG blood tests and 48 hour blood tests. This could be something good for you? To ease your mind with no scan? It's £39 and we have a discount code on the thread posted below x

@Cruz86 I'm so relieved to find this out 😁

Finally plucked up the courage to register with a midwife and make my booking appointment, they can’t get me in for it until 19th March, which by then ill be 10/11 weeks 🥴🥴

@Skl2021 sorry your midwife appointment wasn’t much help, seems like we just get left to it now 😢 x

@A2331 congratulations, all of us are in the same situation of either ttc, 2ww or pregnant after loss so hopefully you’ll find this group helpful 🌈🤍

@aesgriff I’m only 4.5 weeks so still super early, in Scotland (or my health board anyway) you just ring your GP for an appt so it can be 3/4 weeks before you manage to get one so I am conscious of leaving it late too. Can’t win! I’m keeping everything crossed for you on Friday, you could maybe ask the EPU for a follow up in a couple of weeks whilst you’re there? Worth a try to save yourself £80!

@Skl2021 I’m still testing, I’m 18 dpo now & 4.5 weeks pregnant, the lines have been progressing well so far 🙏🏼🤞🏼 although I have it in my head I want to do a cb digital to make sure it’s at 3+ weeks at the weekend. Never satisfied are we!

@calimc83 4dpo is amazing, imagine you’d got a positive that early you would’ve fallen of your chair haha. Looking forward to some good news from you soon 🙏🏼🤞🏼

Honestly what are we all like with these blood tests! Xxx

Oh no @Cindy974 that’s such a long time to wait, does that automatically mean your dating scan will be later too by the time they sort that? 😔 xx

A bit off topic but does anyone else get covered with spots during ovulation? I'll be 1DPO and finally in the 2WW tomorrow and between my boobs and on my face I'm having a breakout 🥴

@speake Im not sure 🤔 I did mention it and she said that if I will get ahead in the queue if I’m further along or something like that, I feel like I want to book another private one in a couple of weeks! How are you doing? X

@bunnykins123 @aesgriff why thank you! 😆😆😆 @arianasky I have another 49 to go...and it was the starkest white ever x

@Passenger87 please join us! 😆😆 how many DPO will u be? X

@speake 😆😆 I know! Fingers crossed eh xx how u getting on? X

@Skl2021 @Cruz86 yep! Nothing exciting to report from me...only I tested at 4DPO 😆😩 xx

@Skl2021 I'm glad 💕 you do what you feel is best 💕

@calimc83 😂😂

@calimc83 just out of interest which did you buy? I've spent an absolute fortune on FRERs 🤦‍♀️

@HoneyLemon29 🙋‍♀️ honestly, my skin is the worst it's been in years but I can't sort it out as nobody will touch you for treatments when TTC 🙄

@Cindy974 well done!! That must actually feel pretty good now you've done it!

@Passenger87 good luck tomorrow - keep us updated! How many DPO will you be?

@HoneyLemon29 thanks I have looked at them before for vitamin deficiency tests! Didn't know they did them too xx

@Cindy974 hope your ok! Scary move actually sorting the first appointment I didn't want to do it either 🙊 xx

@speake That's great news that your lines are progressing well 🙌 I stayed well away form the clearblue couldn't handle the anxiety if they don't move to the correct weeks! Xx

@calimc83 we on the daily testing train now 🚂🙊xx

@arianasky thanks 😘 xx

@calimc83 & @bunnykins123 I think I'll be 7 dpo. Still so early but just can't hold off. Will just use the cheapies and will hold off on frer until sat/Sun xx

@bunnykins123 it was the easy@home 50 for about £8 on Amazon 😂I have so many tests stashed away my DH would kill me if he found out..🙈😂 x

@bunnykins123 thank you lovely 💕 it was hard feeling like im jinxing myself but need to get sorted! Hope youre okay x

@Skl2021its strange isn’t it, abit out of the comfort zone and makes it too real! X

Evening all, just checking in- this thread has moved on fast!
Currently 12dpo and cannot get out of the habit of testing daily and obsessing over line progression. It doesn't even ease the anxiety so no idea why I do it!
I was thinking of waiting till I was 8 weeks to ring the GP for my booking appointment; is that crazy?! I just don't want to go through the heartbreak of having to cancel future appointments (and still get NHS reminder letters 🤨)
I also totally get what people were earlier saying about the fear of scans, I figure if I make it that far along then at least the wait to the scan is much shorter.

Hope you are all doing well! It's exciting that we have some tests coming up 🤞🏻

@theblueflowers not crazy atall, it’s absolutely heartbreaking having to phone and cancel the appt. Just do whatever you think is best for you & your little bean 🤍

@Cindy974 that’s reassuring that they would prioritise you for a scan based on gestation. Although can see why you’d want a private one in the meantime.

@Skl2021 thank you 🥰 I don’t know why im so set on doing a weeks indicator, I think because if it’s right I’d feel reassured but probably horrendous if it wasn’t.

@calimc83 hope your testing goes well, dh are better not knowing, they’d think we are mad 🙈

Just looking at the medicheck tests and think I’ve interpreted the hcg test wrong, wondering if it’s just one & if I needed to order two and send them 48 hours apart to do it properly. Has anyone else had a look? Xx

@Cindy974 the booking was pretty boring tbh so still doesn't feel real. Think I need to see a baby on the screen for it to sink in! X

@theblueflowers yes it doesn't ease anxietys but it doesn't stop us doing it 🙊 I totally understand the not wanting to do the booking yet I waited until after 6+ weeks for the same reasons! Xx
