@LucyLoopyLu yeah it could be! I used a FRER so I’d have thought it would’ve picked it up? I’ve been quite sicky today but I could be overthinking it, and also feel like mood isn’t the usual PMS mood I have, but then BFN hmmm!!

Skylark1990 · 25/07/2022 20:22

Thank you @BellaTheDarkOverlord , sending luck you're way too! I'm also 5dpo today. 🤞🤞🤞 We can be day buddies.

@Angie2018 best of luck, we are apparently more fertile after a chemical / miscarriage 🤷‍♀️🤞 I have a DD who is nearly 2 and we conceived her straight away, when we started TTC for no 2 I conceived on second cycle but it was a chemical, then again on third cycle trying after the loss but it was another chemical, then we didn't try for a month just to have a break and then we conceived straight away the following month when we tried again. So I'm lucky in that I seem to get pregnant quickly but for some reason they aren't sticking ATM 😞💔 it's so so hard, I wouldn't wish a miscarriage let alone multiple on my worst enemy. I'm still breastfeeding my DD a little bit, which could be having an affect on my progesterone but it's not clear as nearly everyone I ask in the medical world say it should t be an issue. So it'll be good to get the more extensive tests done. Also just a bit rundown this year which doesn't help.

I am hopeful for a BFP this month but equally having some tests and taking a break may be good for us so trying to be zen about it...mostly failing ofc haha 😂 x

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 25/07/2022 20:39

@Bananatoast123 Welcome! It could either be that hcg isn't high enough to detect on a test or maybe you ovulated later than you thought as AF is later than normal? Goodluck for the BFP! Have you got a stronger/different brand of test to try?

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 25/07/2022 20:44

@Skylark1990 Day buddies xx I'm due on 3rd Aug. It feels ages away but it's actually only next week I suppose!

@Ballygowenwater we're due on same day for AF. When are you looking to test? I'll hold off until at least Sunday 11DPO I think!

Ballygowenwater · 25/07/2022 21:19

@BellaTheDarkOverlord ill hold off as late as I can to test. I’m only after ovulating the last few days I think, I’ve long cycles 30-34 days normally.

My2boysaremyworld · 25/07/2022 21:52

Ladies I keep getting weird crampy pains, back is killing me and I'm so dizzy!! Xx

BellaTheDarkOverlord · 25/07/2022 22:19

@Ballygowenwater Well done you for having the restraints hold off x Goodluck for your BFP this cycle x

@My2boysaremyworld Are you about 12DPO now? Have you tested yet?

My2boysaremyworld · 25/07/2022 22:25

@BellaTheDarkOverlord I'm 10DPO and no not tested, I like to AF to be late xx

Lollywhite · 25/07/2022 22:31

Can anyone help me with these OPK results please I’ve been testing on the strips as well as the clear blue ones and had constant flashy faces since Tuesday last week.. however I’ve uploaded me strip ones to Premom and looking at it states my peak is the test from this morning.. however I think the one from yesterday dinner time looks more positive?

As mentioned previously I did have some pink/brown spotting yesterday and today I’ve also had streak of blood in EWCM (sorry TMI)

thinking this could be it so hoping to BD again tonight and tomorrow! Xx

Well after an incredibly long day in A&E I’ve been told the levels in my blood and urine are so low that I could have never been pregnant. They can’t explain why I got so many positive pregnancy tests though and told me to feel free to take another at home. WTAF???

My2boysaremyworld · 26/07/2022 00:12

@Baby3herewego that's crazy!! How many tests did you do? Are you still bleeding? I hope your ok I bet your exhausted xx

Crazycatlady19 · 26/07/2022 06:01

@Baby3herewego I’m so sorry, you must be so disappointed. Did they offer any explanation regarding the tests? Sending hugs. Hope you can get some rest today.xx

Crazycatlady19 · 26/07/2022 06:03

AF due tomorrow so just holding off until I’m late now. It’s also my Grandma’s funeral tomorrow and my first day back at work today after holiday so not going to be a fun couple of days. 🙁

EdinburghGirl1 · 26/07/2022 07:00

@Lollywhite I would say the one the app says is peak was your peak but they are close. Hope you managed to BD last night and baby dust to you for this cycle

@Crazycatlady19 sorry to hear you've got a tough couple days ahead but fingers crossed for a bfp for you this week

Bananatoast123 · 26/07/2022 07:25

@BellaTheDarkOverlord maybe I did ovulate later… I did test out my peak and didn’t go high again! Last 4 cycles I’ve managed to predict my AF dead on! So strange!

I’ve only tested with FRER to be fair… I’m not clued up on which brands to try! If it doesn’t come today I’ll order some others!

Baby3herewego · 26/07/2022 08:05

@My2boysaremyworld Still bleeding very heavy. It still pours out when I sit on the loo or stand up for too long.

@Crazycatlady19 disappointed, confused, you name it, i’m feeling it all right now. It just doesn’t make sense. I even had to go as far as showing them photos of my positive tests!

hatethetwoweekwait · 26/07/2022 08:20

AF (due today) is making her entrance slowly but surely and still BFN but my breasts are still so heavy and sore and have been for a week and I've been nauseous too and having a bit of trouble with the smell and taste of my usual coffee. Emotional wreck too, so many mood swings.

95% sure I'm not pregnant now, but why the symptoms otherwise? The only other time I've had sore breasts consistently for so long was when I was pregnant. Body is messing with me! I think I just want it so much.

So strange! I hope you're ok. Must be feeling a rollercoaster of emotions right now hugs

Tropicana1 · 26/07/2022 08:24

Hey @Skylark1990 how are you doing? Really sorry to see about your MC, hope you're doing ok ❤️

Hey @LucyLoopyLu I'm in my fertile week now, got my first flashing smiley today and DTD last night so just going to keep trying every other day now!

Baby3herewego · 26/07/2022 08:35

@hatethetwoweekwait that is definitely one way of putting it! Just want to know exactly what’s happening but they can’t tell me so I guess I just have to wait it out and see what happens with this bleeding.

Skylark1990 · 26/07/2022 08:37

Hey @Tropicana1 , thank you. I'm doing ok. Just trying to not obsess over everything, and looking out for early symptoms as if I get a whiff that I'm pregnant I'll start the progesterone. Was scared to start it too early in case it had any risks although I'm sure it probably doesnt... How are you?? X

Angie2018 · 26/07/2022 08:43

Morning ladies hope you are ok.

@Baby3herewego so sorry to here what you've just gone through! I think they are pretty insensitive to question if you were pregnant or not. You must have been? Anyway I hope you are feeling ok.

How's everyone feeling? Symptoms?

My temp started dropping today as normal so I am for certain out out 🤣

I feel fine I've accepted this TTC malarkey os a marathon and not a sprint and my baby will come so I feel ok. It's excited for the weekend for my week off work and my period 🤣

Is it weird that I actually KNOW pretty much after ovulation whether I've got a chance or not and most certainly from 6dpo I can feel my body changing gearing up for AF at 15dpo?! For the last two months I've been so tuned into my body I have known from 6dpo that I've not been successful!!

Baby dust to all x

Skylark1990 · 26/07/2022 08:46

@Baby3herewego I'm so sorry you're going through this. I think with a chemical pregnancy, the HCG can rise then fall very quickly as it never fully takes hold (although you most definitely were pregnant) but it's such a short time so doesn't take long for it to fall back down again. So this prob explains why the HCG is low now but you did have the positive tests before. I'm so sorry! I've been there too.

It's a real loss and considered an early miscarriage so don't let them down play it - it's horrible and I hope you're ok. Everyone deals with these things differently so however you are feeling, it's all valid.

Baby3herewego · 26/07/2022 08:56

@Skylark1990 that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking. Of course it will drop off early at this stage. You’d think the doctor would know and say that too though!

I know how I’m feeling about the loss. Even so early it’s sad. Thinking that I was pregnant even just for a week. I know our time will come when it sticks but now I just don’t know what to do with me.

They didn’t say anything about what might happen next. If this bleed is now classed as a period or if I will get my period soon after. How long I’m supposed to wait if it keeps being this heavy. When we can try again.

She literally just said “you can go now”

Any information from your side would be wonderful in terms of all those things I wasn’t given then time of day for.

xx
