Amazing news heading into the weekend @LauraA31! Congrats!

Hello, I've been lurking, feeling increasing depressed about failing to conceive thus far. I'm 9DPO today- can I ask, those who have tested positive this early, did you ever have nausea? I have nausea today and so I'm obviously getting my hopes up but surely it's too early for nausea??!! Previously pregnancies (one 2.5yr old, one MMC) nausea only started at 6 weeks...

[LucyLoopyLu]

@Cegbee sorry I can't help as never been pregnant but hopefully that is a good sign for you 🤞

@Laura31 congratulations!

[Missgemini]

@Cegbee welcome! I don’t have any nausea yet. 10dpo today. Good luck!

Hello ladies,
I have been silent since last cycle, it was all becoming too much so really tried to just chill out. Stopped tracking until my fertile window just to confirm ovulation. Feeling a lot less obsessed now.
6dpo and no temptation to test which is great!!
Also started acupuncture this week and apparently I have weak (cold) kidneys does anyone have any experience with this?
I have had two miscarriages so potentially could be related as cold temperature doesn’t make for an optimal environment 😔. Taking the Chinese herbs to improve this also so let’s see…!
good luck to everyone this cycle and congrats on the bfps 😍

18 DPO and AF has arrived today :(

my previous cycle was 21 days this one has jumped to 35 days? I’ve been taking pregnacare pre conception this month so assuming that might be the cause of my cycle being longer than normal

[Derinsea12]

@LauraA31 a great line 😍congratulations!!

@Lollywhite sorry to hear that. Yes, It might be the pregnacare, although I don’t use it, I remember seeing it on other threads.

@ChickenT2b Thank you and good luck to you too! Not obsessing about testing must be a great feeling, as I have started that obsession straight on 6DPO, I am 8DPO today😂

[Tropicana1]

@LauraA31 congratulations ☺️

[Derinsea12]

I have done a test today at 8DPO, it’s BFN 😑

I will use the other frer tomorrow🤞

[LauraA31]

Evening ladies,
10DPO and got this result with evening urine 2 hour hold, is it common for this to show so early?

Boyfriend is terrified of twins as they run strong on my mums side of the family 😂
still trying to not get too excited as we are super early..

hope everybody is doing well tonight! @Derinsea12 aorry about your BFN, fingers crossed for tomorrow! Keep us updated 🙂
@Lollywhite sorry that AF has arrived!

[Missgemini]

@Derinsea12 8dpo is so so early haha! Crossing everything for tomorrows test xx

@LauraA31 ooooo that’s so lovely to see written down! I’m 11dpo today and the lines are getting darker. I’ll wait to official miss my period then I’ll get the clear blue digital.

[BellaTheDarkOverlord]

@LauraA31 Goodluck! My SIL had two sets of twins in her family, her dad was a twin and she has twin sisters. She's got 3 kids and no twins for her.

CD11 and DTD in a tent again😂Travelling home tomorrow evening so hopefully in time for ovulation.

Question for you ladies. Do any of you carry on using ovulation tests after you get your peak reading? Can it show your pregnant if it stays high instead of going down? And if it goes down does it stay down and not go back up and if it does go back up could that mean your pregnant? Xx

I usually test for 2 days after peak so I can be sure the line is getting fainter again.
I’m not sure whether ovulation strips can detect pregnancy seeing as ovulation is testing for LH whilst the pregnancy test is looking for HCG.
If I find a strip tomorrow morning I’ll do both tests and see what the line of the ovulation strip looks like.

[My2boysaremyworld]

@Missgemini thank you. I just seen something on someone's tik tok account and made me wonder xx

[My2boysaremyworld]

Iv got a pressure pain down below. No way it can be anything yet as only on cycle day 8. Wonder what it could be?

[Missgemini]

@My2boysaremyworld sorry to hear about the tummy ache. Just so annoying when there’s so many things going on in that area. Not just the womb. I hope you’re feeling better.

I just tested with an ovulation strip and it is very much negative this morning. Science experiment complete! Haha!

[LauraA31]

@Missgemini it’s lovely that your lines are getting darker 🙂 how are you feeling today?
I’m 11DPO today and my line this morning was darker than yesterday which has made me happier, it’s nice to see them getting darker.

@Derinsea12 how are you doing? Keeping everything crossed for you and your next tests 🙂

@BellaTheDarkOverlord ha that’s reassuring! Boyfriend has googled loads and he thinks he is a fountain of knowledge about HCG levels haha! Reality he doesn’t know much 😂

@My2boysaremyworld i continue to tests the days after my peak just to make sure my levels have gone back down and i don’t miss any little sneaky peak again!


Has anybody had an early scan? Boyfriend really wants one around 7 weeks which would be first week of September if the dates are right. He wants to make sure all is okay, but understands nothing much can be seen- is it worth getting one or waiting.. The place we looked at showed results and I feel that it would massively put my mind at ease and help with the work risk assessments. Any opinions welcome 🙂

[EdinburghGirl1]

@LauraA31 I think it's up to you guys and a personal choice. I think most people who get early scans it's for a reason like previous miscarriages etc. I never had one and don't know many people who have. if it puts your mind at ease and helps with work risk assessments etc then I don't see why not.

[EdinburghGirl1]

So I was sure I'd get a static this morning after my flashing yesterday but got another flashy so looks like I will ovulate a little later this month maybe CD12 which I'm quite happy about. I started taking pregnacare this month so don't know if that's helped lengthen my follicular phase a little. I was sure I'd get my peak same as last month so we DTD first thing 😂 now I kinda wish we hadn't as if it's peak tomorrow then that's going to be several days in a row. I should've tested first. My goodness trying to work out when you should dtd whilst ttc totally messes with your head doesn't it. The control freak in my doesn't like it. At least come mid next week it's back to whenever we want to 😆 the dramas us girls go through

[Missgemini]

@LauraA31 I’ve been testing every morning. Lines getting darker so far. Fingers crossed for us both!

For my last pregnancy (and baby), I had an early scan at 6 weeks. Saw the heartbeat and the sonographer said foetus was very well implanted. It was reassuring. I read somewhere that heart beat at 6 weeks means approx 95% chance of making it to term.
I’m having one this time round too. It was so exciting last time!
BTW, there is a pregnancy forum on mumsnet (not sure if you know). Lots of people over there on a thread of April 23 babies. I haven’t joined them yet as feel that might be tempting fate at 12dpo! Haha

[Missgemini]

@LauraA31 forgot to say that I have been bloated like crazy! Literally was on the sofa last night ordering my DH around. He wasn’t too impressed lol!

[BellaTheDarkOverlord]

@LauraA31 I had an early scan at 6 week and 7 weeks with my last pregnancy. I saw a sac and yoke at 6+2 weeks and at 7+1 weeks a small baby and a heartbeat. I found this on my previous notes. That was from 8 years ago! I had late implantation bleeding up to about 6 weeks which is why I wanted an early scan. A doctor had told me that bleeding was a miscarriage so I booked in for a scan.

[My2boysaremyworld]

@Missgemini thank you that answers my question lol xx

[My2boysaremyworld]

@LauraA31 I had a early scan with my last pregnancy to put my mind at ease. Unfortunately it didn't help me as I was measuring smaller and it made my anxiety terrible. The only positive from it was that I got a scan picture of our angel baby to keep. If I fall pregnant again I will have another early scan to hopefully reassure me.

Good luck with your pregnancy and if you want a scan then go for it 😘xx
