@alwaysseeingstars I'm ok. I think once the bleeding started I knew it was over

So I want happy news on this thread til I depress you all on Sunday..

@Tropicana1 did you do an OPK today to see if u made the peak higher?!

@RMS0209 so glad you got good news with the scans and bloods😊

@Catred4 congratulations again 🥰 clear blue have always been my preferred pregnancy test xx

Hi 👋🏼 I'm new here - can I join? I've been silently watching for a couple of weeks and wow you ladies have taught me a lot.

I'm 30 on cycle #1 TTC #1

I had my coil removed last month (the waiting list for appointments is soooo long) which had been in place for my endometriosis so I have no idea how my body is going to now react. But the nurse said "oh good luck you can be very fertile after the first month of having it out" let's see...

Decided to give OPK's a go and peaked on Sunday (I think) so currently 4dpo according to the app. Perfect timing with the DH coming back from a deployment overseas. At how many days is it suggested I test?

Just logged back in to check how @MrsGrealish is doing, I'm so sorry lovely. Must be so difficult going through all that and not just having a simple yes or no.
Hope everyone else is ok I briefly saw a few more BFPs on here👀

@MrsGrealish a very low opk today so my peak is definitely over, temp went up to 36.4 this morning so both apps have yesterday as ovulation day. Didn't manage to DTD again though 😭 so just the day before ovulation. Got more EWCM today though so might give it a crack tonight just in case 😂

Welcome @db91 - really the later you test the more definitive but I can't stop myself testing stupidly early! There is a website that has percentages of positive tests against how many DPO you are let me see if I can remember it

@Tropicana1 I think the day before is the best time! Into the TWW you go..good luck!!

@Changingdirections I'm ok (atm) I've a feeling it'll hit me later this week because I'm still full of pregnancy symptoms. I hope you're doing ok?? The one thing I have learnt from this is to take care of your newly pregnant (online) friends, sometimes we aren't ok

@db91 welcome! I'd say 10dpo but I can't help testing early I think it's an addiction 🙈

Hey everyone! Sorry I took some time off mumsnet after getting AF at 11/12 DPO as I think my chemical the previous month through off my cycle. I’m now CD8 and decided this month I’m not going to use any OPK or track! I will potentially keep note of EWCM BUT generally going to just enjoy DTD this month! I’m currently on holiday and could ovulate at any point over the next week. We have family and friends joining us from tomorrow and going to be quite boozy so I’m just going to DTD when and if we feel like it and see! In some ways ‘a month off’ but more like a month off of obsession and just carrying on enjoying life and enjoying holiday!

@MrsGrealish i just want to send a massive hug and really praise your strength throughout this recent journey of yours. I really hope you have a positive outcome xxxxx

@Hjudge56 that sounds like a wonderful, healthy idea - enjoy!!

@MrsGrealish I'm fine, morning sickness has started but not too bad. Next week all being well I will contact midwives to get booked in, I feel like as soon as I do it'll go downhill but I know that's just in my head not based in reality. I really hope you will have good news soon x

My period tracker app has now moved my ovulation day from Thursday to yesterday because my temp has continued to rise a little bit higher, but Premom still has it as Thursday so who bloody knows. Already feeling like I'm definitely not getting pregnant this month because we've only managed to DTD twice in the fertile week 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well maybe that will stop me obsessing so much this month and testing at 8dpo!

@MrsGrealish hope the second blood test goes ok today

@Tropicana1 thanks lovely xx leaving shortly

Good luck @MrsGrealish, thinking of you xx

Thinking of you today @MrsGrealish xx

Thanks for thinking of me today 🥰

Back home. Bloods levels have slightly decreased but not enough. Back again to repeat the whole sorry saga in one week

Midwife asked me if I felt pregnant. What kinda random question is that. You have my blood levels in front of you 🙄 but yes I feel exhausted, sore boobs, bloated and can't eat (which can all be explained by high progesterone levels.

Oh I'm sorry it's all still dragging on @MrsGrealish - are they thinking incomplete MC or are they worried it's ectopic at all?
That is such an odd question from the midwife.
Hope you're doing ok xx

@Tropicana1 isn't it just She rang half an hour ago the doctor looked at my notes and wants to see me in 48 hours. I think they are worried about ectopic xx

@MrsGrealish I've been off Mumsnet for a while but just wanted to pop on and say I'm really sorry to read your news, thinking of you a lot and hoping you get some answers soon. X

Oh no so much backwards and forwards @MrsGrealish - probably better to go back in 48hrs rather than a week though. Hope it's not an ectopic

@RMS0209 how many DPO are you now I think you're ahead of me aren't you? I'm only 3DPO

@MrsGrealish so glad they are seeing you in 48 hours and not a weeks time.
Please keep us updated, really hope you are ok.

@Tropicana1 hello! Yes I am 6DPO today, 1 week of the dreaded wait nearly over. How are you x

How are we all today?

@RMS0209 hey! I'm doing good thanks, CD4 today - has been very light for me and seems to be mostly gone already! How are you doing - must be a few days into the TWW now??

How's everybody else today? 😊

@RMS0209 ah that's good one week down only 1 to go! Not driving yourself too mad with symptom spotting yet?

@alwaysseeingstars glad af is away quickly!

Im 4DPO today and after telling myself I wasn't going to symptom spot this month etc I've had loads of creamy CM today which even though I know is just normal cycle / far too early to be a real symptom I'm now firmly counting as one anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi Ladies, I've just got my first AF after mmc... weird emotions as it's deffo the end of that chapter, but also quite excited as it gives us the chance to try again... such a mind fuck!

@Chellooo glad you're feeling positive about the arrival of AF and getting back to trying, sorry about the MC

@MrsGrealish just seen your post on the jan thread about the pains - hope you're ok to last it out until your EPU appointment tomorrow morning but please do go to your a&e if it stays bad! X

@Tropicana1 oh I will. I was in agony at work I'm not leaving till they sort this tomorrow. Sit in at epu😂. I'm stuck to a hot water bottle 2 of my hubbys painkillers deep watching love island scared to move. I've had back pain labours in the past never really get abdominal pain labour or even period pain at the front
