@Tropicana1 yay, I can see that!! Congratulations 🥰

I feel absolutely horrendous 🤢 but good sign?

@MrsCristiano I hope so!!

Any of you ladies able to help me without me getting lost down a Google hole? Wasted too much time already looking at things!
But took my last frer this morning (I know I said I wouldn't buy more but I caved) and I'm not sure if it worked? I did a cheapie to confirm I'm still pregnant as was panicking but am confused!

@alwaysseeingstars why are you confused? That's the elusive dye stealer 😘

@MrsCristiano good sign I say! I feel pretty normal really, I'd say had much less "symptoms" this tww and very little cm compared to a normal cycle.

@alwaysseeingstars I'd think it's because you're so strongly pregnant that your test line has accumulated so much of the dye there's not much left for the control line. A "dye stealer" as they say

@alwaysseeingstars congratulations 🥳

@MamaSJ15 I'm 29 my little one turned 1 just over a week ago! We didn't want a massive gap between them so here we are

Ah thank you ladies, I've not heard of that! OK good I just assumed the test had gone wrong 😆Other than one more weeks test for next week and a few cheapies I am going to stop testing, I have an appointment with an obstetrician on the 22nd (booked before finding out due to existing health issues) so the GP said to just keep that appointment & tell them I'm pregnant rather than refer to the midwife. I'm not particularly clear on how these things work but will see in a couple of weeks!
@MrsCristiano are you waiting until AF is missed to test next?

@alwaysseeingstars yes I am!! Or I'll drive myself nuts 🤯

Just caught up on this thread
congratulations @Tropicana1 @MrsCristiano !!

I stopped spotting a few weeks ago, so must have been an implantation bleed and now 6 weeks today 😄

@alwaysseeingstars wow that's a strong one!!

@Pika93 aw lovely 😊

@Chocolat lovely news! All going strong then 😀

@MamaSJ15 fingers crossed this one sticks 😊
@Chocolat glad things are going well for you! how are you feeling?

Thanks @Chocolat 😊🤞🏻

Glad to hear all is well, how's the nausea etc?

So I'm CD26 today, used to be a 28 day cycle but apparently started ovulating later since having the miscarriage so I expect AF to be early next week, only 8dpo today

@MamaSJ15 thank you, it is so far but early days still 😬

@alwaysseeingstars thanks, I’m feeling ok, boobs pretty sore and growing 😂 feeling tired but everyone around me seems to be so not sure if that’s pregnancy related or not lol How are you feeling??

@Tropicana1 thanks! Occasional nausea but nothing major yet, no smell change or appetite change. I just turned 6 weeks today and I know a lot of people say it can just start suddenly around now, so waiting for it to hit me, do you have any symptoms yet?

@MamaSJ15 that's not ideal 😥when was the miscarriage? Hopefully they'll settle down soon (actually no, I don't want you to have a cycle for a long time 😂) how are you doing in the TWW?
@Chocolat I expect the tiredness probably is more to do with the pregnancy than anything else! I've been exhausted since the weekend, all of a sudden Friday night I just felt wrecked. Other than insomnia last night when I just couldn't fall asleep 🙄

@MamaSJ15 ah getting closer to testing though - when do you think you will?

@Chocolat just very hot and a sore throat! Feels like more than just the weather because it's all the time 🤣

@alwaysseeingstars it was in June I think. Had some weird cycles since then, period started 2 weeks early the first time then next cycle was 31 days but had about 4-5 days of spotting before AF arrived. I actually tracked ovulation using opk for the first time this cycle and it was much later than usual! Definitely hoping for no more cycles for a while 😂

@Tropicana1 I'm gonna try hold out as long as possible 🤞 if Monday is 14dpo then will test Tuesday but that's so far away haha. Not sure I'll make it past the weekend!

Couldn't help myself!! There it is in words with late evening 3hr hold!

@Tropicana1 omg congratulations 🥳 Xx

@MrsCristiano willpower of zero percent 😂

@Tropicana1 that's brilliant!! 🥳

@Tropicana1 oh my gosh, yay! Congrats, so lovely to see it in words 😊

@MrsCristiano when is your AF due, must be v soon?

@alwaysseeingstars well Friday but an app is saying Sunday but it usually wrong 🤷‍♀️

@alwaysseeingstars I've been torturing myself with cheap tests and getting dodgy faint lines. A swear a FRER would be worth it to save me losing my mind 🤯
