New thread ladies - please add anyone I've missed 💕

@Margo34 prolactin is basically what makes you lactate. Anything below 600 is normal but mines around 900. The tests involve a mri of the brain (as that's where prolactin is excreted) to rule out benign growth which also causes high prolactin (google tess Daley) I think stress also can make it high. So even if it is high, it's not necessarily a quick fix as they will do more tests. Personally I don't think breastfeeding causes miscarriages. Do you still leak?

Has anyone tested again today? 🤞

@bunnykins123 I'm waiting until tomorrow or maybe Thurs if I can hold off until then. I have two frers in the drawer and even though I know I'm positive it's bugging the hell out of me that my line is still a faint pink one 😂🙄 once they are gone though they are gone I'm not buying anymore I'll have to satisfy myself with crap sticks 😆

@bunnykins123 I haven't tested but am not feeling great so hoping that's a good sign 🤞

@bunnykins123 no test here as AF arrived (1st after MC) so hoping thats my body getting back to normal... Didn't get a positive opk, is that typical!? Had a weekend away when i didn't test so maybe missed it, who knows 🤔x

@bunnykins123 Not me - I’m going to use my last FRER in the morning and hope the line is darker. Like @mummatara the ghostliness of my lines is bugging me.
I did have a nice high temperature this morning though so felt slightly reassured.
This is a good reminder of why I gave up early testing and waited for my period to be late when we were TTC before I had my son.

@pangolin84 keeping my fingers crossed for you that you get a much darker line in the morning.

@MrsCristiano hope you manage to hold on and not test as well.

Tbh I never realised how much anxiety and difficulty worrying about faint tests and then fading out can be. I’d never had that until my chemical after the pregnancy. I’d always got lines then darkened very quickly. So now I feel like I’ll be just as bad.

hence why I wanna hold out. But also it’s a mix of waiting for period and not knowing if you did conceive and it didn’t stick. Or just thinking why am I not getting pregnant. Does this make sense to anyone. I don’t know what one drives me mad more.

safe to say at 5DPO and ages away until I can test I am prob losing the plot 😂😂

@Indianna2006 makes total sense I think the days of blissful pregnancy ignorance are long gone. I've never been so obsessed with tests I think it's just you want it so so badly you can't help yourself ❤️

@Indianna2006 I'm so stressed out am never testing early again. Haven't done today..yet

Well I’m bleeding. And I really don’t think it’s implantation bleeding. And I’m only 8dpo, shortest LP ever 😔 wish I’d been able to record my temp this morning, seems crazy for temps to be so high for days and then AF comes 😕

@LuckyMoonstone oh god I'm sorry lovely 🥲 is it heavy? This is so hard.

@MrsCristiano no it’s light but I just don’t think it’s implantation. I had that last time and it was literally just a streak of pink. This is red.

@LuckyMoonstone I mean I don't even know? Could that still not be implantation? Obv if it carries on it's not but its shit. Things aren't brilliant here either I did a cheapie there and it was zero progression. @Indianna2006 sorry it was melting my head ☹️

@LuckyMoonstone oh no hun! Some peoples implantation bleeds are heavier tho! An sometimes can get random cycle spotting. Doesn’t mean AF is properly coming yet. See if it gets any heavier. What a head fuck.

@MrsCristiano oh no. What was it on tho? As if it’s a cheap IC do they really show any lines early ish? Did it show anything?

@Indianna2006 it looked more grey than anything ☹️ I'll still save the FRER for Friday if of course I don't start bleeding first. Some cheapie Amazon one. But it says early detection. I HATE this

@LuckyMoonstone oh lovely hopefully it will be ok 🤞🏼 I'm keeping everything crossed for you

@MrsCristiano my cheap strips didn't show anything until yesterday 12dpo what are you today?

@MrsCristiano we’ll see how it goes tonight but I’m not hopeful ☹️ Oh shit I’m sorry, what dpo are you? Maybe it was a crappy test if it wasn’t one of the big brands

@mummatara thank you, I’ll keep an eye on it

@mummatara like 11/12 ? (Weird long lh peak) it is what it is, until it isn't... Jaysus im quoting love island now. Please shoot me 🙏

@LuckyMoonstone really hoping the bleed stops asap hun xx

@MrsCristiano 😂 love island I've never got around to watching it 😳 hmmmm is it stark white? Did you do a longer hold than 1 hour?

@MrsCristiano im not sure what to think. It’s not like coming out of me, it’s just there when I wipe. If I wipe myself before I have a wee, it’s totally dry, nothing there, but when I wipe after a wee it’s like the wet tissue picks up the blood. I don’t feel particularly period-y. I had lower back ache earlier, but not my usual AF squeezy feelings, and I still have breast/nipple tenderness. And now I’m gonna make myself feel even worse by daring to hope it’s implantation 😕 I’ve got my ovusense in tonight so we’ll see what temp is in the morning

@mummatara no it's not stark white but not positive either. If I can bring myself round to posting it I will

@MrsCristiano post it if you feel up to it we can be your line eyes. Will you do another with FMU?

@LuckyMoonstone do your periods normally start like that? Mine are always just a period from the get go I never spot

@mummatara yeah they used to be heavy right from the start, the last few I’ve had have started a little lighter, but this is probably the lightest start to a period I’ve had since my MC, if that’s what it is. I have some cramps now, but it still feels different to AF.. I don’t know I’m so confused and feeling really crap and now I’ve got to try to sleep with all this going through my head 😞

Oh guys I’m sorry everyone is having such a shit evening. ☹️

@mummatara if I said yes would you judge me 🙈
