TTC APRIL/MAY THREAD 2

[RMS0209]

Hi Ladies!
2nd thread for this chatty lot...
Cycle 4 (May) TTC baby #1
The chat of no TMI or silly questions

@MrsGrealish how unbelievably confusing for you. Sending you so much love. Let us know how you get on with the doctor xxx

Oh @MrsGrealish how confusing! I hope you get some answers today xx

@PeanuttyButter yep there's something not right. Unfortunately the worlds worst gp is the only doctor working at my practice today. And apparently he's under pressure and phone appointments are all gone. My fault I fell asleep after being up all night.

So pleased for you xx and bless your DH beaming with pride! Totally understand why you want to wait xx

Hello, my first time posting as a long time lurker sorry if this comes up twice, I posted and it disappeared!

Recently started trying for DC1 - do you think these are likely to be evap lines?? The 9DPO was with fmu this morning

They look quite pink on my screen! Have if it’s showing on the strips maybe try a FRER? Fingers crossed for you. 😊

Sorry, thought I’d quoted you @personallyvictimisedbyreginageorge!

@personallyvictimisedbyreginageorge they look very strong to me! Confirm with a digital. No guessing with lines!

@personallyvictimisedbyreginageorge they look very good for 9dpo! Fingers crossed for you 😊

Tested again this morning with a FRER and a line came up straight away! Thrilled but terrified

Excuse my dusty window sill

@personallyvictimisedbyreginageorge wow, congratulations!! Such a strong line 😍

@MrsGrealish how are you doing? Did you get to speak to a doctor in the end??

@alwaysseeingstars rang epu directly and spoke to a midwife. She booked me in for a scan next week. But I bled A LOT yesterday and midwife said just keep doing pregnancy tests in the meantime obviously if they go negative just cancel the scan.
I got the usual "if u fill a pad in an hour or are in severe pain go to a@e'

There could literally be nothing left up there now. I'll maybe test tomorrow and see if the tests have started fading xx

@MrsGrealish glad that you are now on their radar. It's rubbish but all you can do now is watch and wait. The situation is similar to mine in that as I was only getting 2-3 on a digital it meant there wasn't enough to be seen on a scan at that point. Do you have any pain? I'm surprised they haven't decided to do serial HCG blood tests because that would give them a lot of information at this point.

@PeanuttyButter honestly I think she believes I'm in the middle of a miscarriage and I think she's right. I'm in a good bit of pain but it's like the worst period pain ever. And maybe a bit like really mild contractions. Tummy keeps going tight then relaxing. No one mentioned doing blood hcg levels but I'm in Northern Ireland and I don't know if their policy is different 🤷‍♀️ at one point yesterday I was sitting on the toilet and blood was just continually dripping ( sorry tmi) I felt like a rag doll last night.

@PeanuttyButter I entered all the data on my iPhone yesterday and I've been bleeding heavily for a week now. Though yesterday was much worse than any other day, Surprised there's much blood left. Then my stupid watch pinged at me that my fertile window was in 3 days..😂😂 I don't think so watch

@MrsGrealish with my natural miscarriage I bled heavy for about 9 days then it almost completely stopped overnight to just light. I know exact how you feel, if you want to chat I'm just a DM away x

@PeanuttyButter that's really kind xx Thank you 😊

Hi all, very new to this page so please bare with.
Can anyone give some advice on whether you think these are accurate positive tests / share your experience with testing early.

It's hard to tell but the 27th of may one has the faintest line.
Then everything 10 DPO shows some faint line.
The clear blue digital was done on the 27th as well (9DPO). I have heard others say the digital ones don't show early.

Let me know what you guys think!
I'm really praying they are positive.

Did anyone have any signs of a chemical pregnancy I should look out for?

@MrsGrealish so sorry you're going through all this, hopefully you'll know one way or the other soon.

@Grech2000 to be honest I think you'll drive yourself crazy doing that many tests on the same day! They are unlikely to change over the course of the day other than the line might be lighter if your urine is more dilute. All you can do at this early stage is test once a day (or every other day if you have that level of restraint!) and see if the faint line gets darker in the run up to your period being due.

Just been trying to do a little catch up how is everyone doing?

I did another weeks indicator test on Thursday and it had gone up a week, I've had no further bleeding so cautiously optimistic but until I see a bean on a scan I think I'll always be worried! Will do an early scan at 9 weeks, I think I'm nearly 5 weeks now. Haven't booked in with midwives or told anyone other than husband yet but if all still well at the end of next week I will get booked in, I told myself I'd wait til 6 weeks this time to book in because I found it so hard to ring and cancel when I lost the last one.

@MrsGrealish I'm so sorry to read everything you are going through, it must be horrible being in limbo for so long😞i hope you have some good news soon xx

@Grech2000 That's alot of tests! I would just test with FMU you'll drive yourself mad otherwise and it is the strongest urine of the day.

@MrsGrealish I am so sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. Thinking of you x

I feel guilty bringing the tone of the ttc thread down.

But @Changingdirections that is such positive news!! I totally understand why you're waiting to 6 weeks..wishing you all the luck with your tiny bean ❤️

@QueenBee22 @Tropicana1 good luck with you current cycles 🤞 hoping to see more bfps💕

@MrsGrealish thank you I am 8DPO today but not feeling hopeful at all this month. I think seeing negative after negative is starting to affect me a bit but I am trying to be more positive.

Do not feel one bit guilty that you are bringing the tone of the thread down. That is not the case at all. We are all here to support each other whether we have good or bad news.

@QueenBee22 ❤️ eek you could start testing really soon! I got a faint positive on 10dpo with a clear blue ultra early. FRERs were not showing positive til 12dpo

I hear you on the negative after negative. I've been trying since January and I feel you. Really didn't help that I tested so early ever month 😂 but I never learn 🙄.

@MrsGrealish don't feel guilty at all - we're all in this together & I get really invested in all of our TTC journeys not just the good but all of it - here for you!

Typically think I'm going to ovulate ridiculously early this month because DH has been away all week obviously. I'm CD 9 and got loads of backache and my opk this morning was starting to increase, whereas usually I only get any colour in it the day of or day before ovulation, normally CD14-16. 🤦🏼‍♀️ can't make it up can you!
