Anyone testing around April 19th? My 2ww is just starting.

[GoT1904]

Hi all! I'm currently 1dpo.. so officially in the last stage of this cycle! I should be due AF around April 19th, which happens to be my birthday! So I'm going to try really hard not to test until then. Anyone else around the same?!

@MrsGrealish exactly 😂 when are you planning to test?

@Graceybaby aw that sounds lovely!

@MrsGrealish how old are your DC? Mine are 12, 8 and 6. So quite a gap for me. DP's two are 6 and 3.

Every single time my labour hasn't progressed. My waters go and then I need the drip, so I'm fully expecting that to happen again.

@ArcEnCiel2022 we're playing some board games tonight and having a night in. :) I've got a murdery thing that comes with 'police files' etc and you've got to work out who's done it lol.

Haha which one are you going to go with?!? I'm 4dpo but would like to believe I'm 5 from my +opk lol. But I'm gonna try really hard to not test until Thursday! :D

@GoT1904 wait for it DS20, DS19 and DD15. Honestly thought I was done til I miscarried an unplanned pregnancy this time last year at 8 weeks. Absolutely nearly ruined me. Took me the rest of the year to talk DH into trying again and here we are!

@ArcEnCiel2022 I've absolutely no idea when to test. I'm thinking no earlier than 10 dpo but is that the pretend 10dpo or the actual 10dpo😅

@GoT1904 that sounds fun! 😊 Your house must be so animated when you have all the children! I bet it will be nice to enjoy a quiet night!

@Graceybaby Nice plan for tonight as well! 😊

Tonight I think we will have a meal out as well with our friends. I don't think I'll last too long though, I feel exhausted and tomorrow we are off to spend the weekend in London with them (it's their first time visiting the UK!)

@MrsGrealish 😂😂 when I started my cycle I was like this time I don't test before 12dpo (last month I started at 8...), but now I'm debating between 8 and 9 😅 and I don't know which of the pretending or actual dpo I'll choose 😂
I'm sorry for your loss, I had 2 miscarriages last year at 7 and 11 weeks, it was devastating, one of the worst moment of my life...

@ArcEnCiel2022 oh I started testing at 8dpo too and have so many negative tests saved to my phone. Once I start there's no going back😂

I'm sorry about your losses too ❤️ ❤️because mine was unplanned I didn't expect to feel the way I did. But when it was over my heart actually ached. Like physical pain. I had a scan at 6 weeks with a heartbeat so I must have grown attached.

Anyway not meaning to bring the thread down (sorry) but fx this is the month we get our rainbows 🌈 💕

Aww talk of loss isn't bringing the tone of the thread down at all! It's a safe little space we have here. So don't worry about that:)

I'll be keeping the both of you in my thoughts.

@GoT1904 my boobs ache today! At 4/5 dpo I know this is just progesterone 😅

@MrsGrealish haha well your brain is behaving better than mine!! Wish I could fast forward a little. Xx

@MrsGrealish I didn't even take pictures of my negatives as there was no doubt, they were so white. I tried to look at them under different lights, etc. 😂 Even coming back to them a bit later to see if maybe I could have missed the line (even though I knew that if there was something it would have been an indent...)

I completely understand what you mean about the physical pain 😔 it must be such a shock after seeing a heartbeat. I never saw any heartbeat as I didn't have an early scan (next time I definitely will, my GP told me they will offer it to me if I want). The first one I miscarried before I even arrived to the hospital, when they scanned me and said "I'm sorry I don't see anything" I couldn't believe what was happening, I was not prepared at all for that (you can never been prepared anyway), but I never thought it would happen to me. The worse was that I understood that they were considering 3 possibilities: miscarriage, ectopic, or the 3rd was that I had never been pregnant and was inventing/lying!!! Hopefully when they had the blood test result they could see I had some HCG and had been pregnant. I couldn't believe they even considered that, so awful! Second time was even worse because I was so confident that everything was ok as I had really really strong symptoms from the beginning. They suddenly stopped around 11 weeks and I started bleeding. I still hear the voice of the doctor telling me "I'm sorry there is no heartbeat"...

Anyway, I hope we get our rainbows very soon 😊🌈

@GoT1904 I feel nauseous too at the moment after my lunch, and I'm thinking "what if..." It's way too early, I know, probably something was not too fresh in my sandwich 😂😅

Since this morning I have a kind of feeling, like I know I'm pregnant. Please don't remind me I said that when I show you my negative tests next week 😂

Oh Arc, I can't even imagine how sad that was and is for you. I've got goosebumps reading it. What an awful time. :( I hope with everything I have you get your rainbow baby this month! Can't wait till you start testing!

Hahaha I keep thinking I'm pregnant. But because I'm freshly off the pill its like either ramping up my regular hormones, or I'm just noticing them more. Xx

@ArcEnCiel2022 I love a good negative picture mmm if I edit this and make it brighter there might be a line😂 not a good habit 😅

Absolutely disgusting treatment from that hospital btw

welcome @AmyD54321 and @Sarahmayo

How is everyone doing today? I'm 5dpo and just had tiny spots blood when I wiped. I've got a LOT of work to try and get done before the end of the day and now my brain is in hyper mode thinking about concieving. Surely this is too early for implantation spotting?? Maybe there's something wrong, my luteal phase has been short recently so I wondering if I am spotting due to hormonal imbalance, or maybe I have polyps again?.

Also. Weird dreams last night- I didn't know until last night I heard music in my dreams before but I was definitely dancing a long to an orchestra at a very weird party, sort of Bridgerton-esk (and I've never watched an episode) I'm clearly cracking up. :D

@GoT1904 I feel the same, the pill masks a lot of your normal cycle symptoms so everything feels like a pregnancy symptom to me atm! 😅

Would love to know what's going on in my uterus right now!! .According to Dr.Google at 5DPO, if the egg has been fertilised it's now likely a blastocyst waiting to implant!!... This may be a silly question but I have always wondered whether the egg just floats around your uterus and it's just luck whether It implants or does it stick to the uterus wall prior to implanting?.. I mean would doing anything over athletic cause the egg to dislodge before it implanted?

x

@GeraniumCedarwood Hmm.. I imagine it takes time for the blood to show too which would mean if it were implantation it would have had to have occurred even earlier? I've researched it quite a bit as I had sharp pains yesterday and it is very very unlikely and even if it did it would most likely be not fully developed blastocyst or implanted in the wrong place.

But stranger things have happened! Was your ovulation date spot on, could you have ovulated earlier than you thought?

xx

@GoT1904 thank you! 💞

@MrsGrealish 😂 I don't think even editing the pictures I could have seen anything, it was so white! 2 months ago I had bad indents on FRER... I decided to don't use them anymore unless I see first a shadow on a cheapie.

Yes the treatment from that hospital was awful. That was not in the UK by the way, I was visiting my family in France and it happened there. I think in the UK they would have been more delicate, if they thought I was inventing, they wouldn't have tell me 😅 but maybe I'm wrong. But except the total insensitivity of that doctor, at least they scanned me straight away and did blood tests, etc. (While I can understand that here sometime the EPU won't see you the same day if they consider it's not urgent)

@GeraniumCedarwood I'm sorry I don't know what could be the spotting at 5dpo, are you sure about your ovulation date?
Your dream sounds funny 😂

@MrsGrealish @Graceybaby

My positive OPK was Saturday, ,my temps suggested I ovulated on Sunday.... butso maybe I could be 6dpo? but isn't that still too early?

@GeraniumCedarwood I think I've read that implantation can happen at 6dpo?

@Graceybaby I would love to know as well what is happening there! I have no idea about all that, I don't know if something we do could dislodge the egg before implantation... I wouldn't think so? But no idea honestly

@GeraniumCedarwood nope you can defo implant at 6dpo. What length are your cycles?

On another note watch the first season of bridgerton it's like soft porn😂😂 I only just watched it and was like omg

@MrsGrealish haha might had to watch that next cycle then if I need an extra help in the fertile window!

My cycles can vary-- I'm currently CD 25 and ovulated around day 20.
Last 8 cycles have been 31, 32, 40, 40, 30, 26, 34, 26

I think i might have just got my faint BFP at 10DPO 🤞🏽 good luck to you all lovely's ❤️

@TTCBABYNO2xx ahh congratulations!! ❤️❤️
