🤞 September BFP 🌈

[Presently83]

Starting a new thread for a bit of hopefulness 🤞

I'm TTC #1 following a MMC in October and another one in June. Both around 10.5-11.5 weeks.

Really hoping this is our month. August conception worked last year, even though it ended a few months later 🥺

I'm CD8 now and tend to ovulate CD15/16 so will be testing or getting my period around 10/11 September.

Who's with me? 💕

@anotherscroller I am about 6dpo. I am holding out until the 16th September. Which will be about 14dpo. Well I am going to try and resist until then 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀

@MapleSyrup2112 I had bleeding in early pregnancy with my daughter. I though implantation bleeding was my period - although at the time I didn’t have regular period and a mix of light, heavy and anything in between.

But at the same time I know what you are going through, I have had a few losses too. It’s the unknown. Thinking of you. Keep us posted.

5 dpo and have GP for first time tonight as we’re nearing 14 month mark!

no idea what to expect but hoping for a miracle next week of course 🤣 I hate being a hassle and dread bad news…

stay strong everyone in TWW x

@B93 was the blood watery for you? Im getting nowhere with the EPU even after saying about the NICE guidelines. Im so fed up. I even made it sound worse than it is and they still won’t see me! I woke up for a wee at 4am which isn’t like me and then numpty I am decided to do a reassurance test at 8 but then realised it wasn’t FMU. I’ve just had enough. I keep telling them how worried I am and that it would be my 2nd miscarriage in a row and she just says sorry there’s nothing we can do 😭

@B93 that’s a good idea, I’m thinking about doing the same

@MapleSyrup2112 oh love I'm so sorry you're feeling like this.

Try not to worry, it could be as simple as implantation bleeding, or general spotting which lots of pregnancies have. Crossing everything for you.

EPU are generally useless and tell you not to come in because a) they don't want people to come in because they're busy and b) because they tend not to able to see anything on a scan for 6 weeks. You could pay to have your bloods tested privately but tbh I did that for the last pregnancy and it was fucking horrendous paying all that money waiting for calls only to be told I just had to wait when numbers started plateauing.

I did another test today (FRER - earlier ones were CB early response) and the line is so faint as to be barely there. It was at 4pm and I have drunk loads today so could be diluted, but still worried I'm having a chemical now. Ugh. Did have some mega light pink spotting two days ago, just once when I wiped, so just not sure what to think. It's all so hard. Hoping hard for all of us xxx

Hi everyone. I am 8dpo (ish) today and had bright pink spotting at 4dpo (ish). To me that seems super early for implantation but nit sure why else I would have had this?
This morning I woke up to nearly be sick at 5am and am off food, just have no appetite. I think it's all in my head because surely its still too early to have symptoms?

@MapleSyrup2112 with my daughter it wasn’t watery almost resembled a period. I didn’t actually test until a few weeks after when I could y stop being sick. I had light bleeding another 2-3 times before 12 weeks. I was in Spain with on bleed. Even with the language barrier I was scanned within 40 minutes. They were amazing. Printed me scan pictures and rather than wait to show proof of medical insurance told me not to worry and go back to the villa and rest. Also gave us a direct line to call back to them if we had any concerns.

With my last pregnancy which resulted in early miscarriage I was bleeding
lightly (pink in colour) but enough to wear a pad. This lasted two weeks before the GP became concerned - where I live you have to be referred to EPU by your GP. I had bloods two days apart. My first was low HCG levels so knew what was coming my second showed dropping. I then had a period type bleed and took a couple of weeks to get a negative pregnancy test. However when I had my ectopic I didn’t bleed at all.

There is no rhyme or reason to pregnancy. Some people bleed throughout. Ask your GP for repeat bloods to check levels are rising.

@Aimee1995 could you have ovulated earlier than you thought?

@B93 I could I suppose but I had a peak OPK that lasted 2 days 11 days ago so I don't think it could have been much earlier if they were correct. I don't temp though as it stresses me out!

@Aimee1995 Only time will tell. Hopefully you get your BFP. We seem to be having plenty of positive news on this thread so fingers crossed for you too.

@Presently83 sorry must have missed your last post. How many dpo are you now?

I had bloods done Tuesday. They called today to say I have good progesterone levels which means I ovulated. Just another week of my 2WW to go. It could be diluted like you said or just early still.

🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀

Hi everyone

I’m 10 Dpo today and tested this morning to get a BFN - feeling very disheartened.. I know it’s still early but can’t help but obsess over the next few days..

has anyone else went on to get a BFP after initially getting BFN? AF Due on wed so clinging to hope xx

Hi @Lollywhite, I'm in same boat as you today. Also feeling v disheartened. My last pregnancy though I tested negative at 10DPO and had faint positive at 11DPO. It ended in MC but that was chromosomal reasons so nothing to do with implantation etc good luck!

Aww @Cegbee im so sorry to hear that.. sending baby dust to you for this month xx

@B93 about 12DPO according to my app. Positive test for four days in a row but so pale. Line today still extremely faint. ☹️

Fingers crossed ladies!

@Presently83 Have they all been faint lines? Have you tried different brands? It is still a few days early… even some early detection tests say best results after missed period. Fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼🙏🏻🍀

@B93 the first and second were with CB early detection and ok but faint. Third and fourth (yesterday and today) were with FRERs and super faint. I'm now on CD29 so period was due yesterday or day before but have been taking progesterone so it will be a bit delayed. Don't feel very positive about this at all 😭 Really wanted the May baby I lost last year 😔

Can I join?

Just got a BFP this morning! 2nd cycle of trying, 2nd DC.

Havent told DH as we have a super busy weekend with our DC1 birthday party. Also going on holiday next week so I might wait to tell him then!

Im so happy to be pregnant again and according to my app baby will be due around my birthday next year.

@Presently83 so sorry for how stressful that must be. Is there anything you can do at the weekend to make you feel better? I suppose all you can do it just wait and keep testing. Crossing everything for you.

@Presently83 so sorry they’re not progressing! My sisters always stayed very pale until she was 2 weeks late!
but she repeated with cheapies every 2-3 days in the end as she was also concerned due to previous losses.

so you aren’t alone hold the faith. And maybe see if you can wait a further 48hrs before the next one?

my GP was epic (I feel a weight off and hope that does wonders for my TTC mind!) I have only booked bloods and some test for husband to get the ball rolling she said in the meantime, relax, don’t use ovulation kits just DTD every 2-3 days 😛
she had been in the same position and I just signed so much relief!

@anotherscroller @lottieb92 thanks girls, I'm going to try and forget about it, not test at all, and just wait for my period like I usually do but didn't this time. Never again!! Testing early is EVIL and so bad for my brain 😵‍💫

Sucks, but that's life ❤️

It’s hard. So bad for our brains! We need to look after ourselves. Hug.

@Presently83 how are you feeling today? I don’t know why we do it to ourselves. I am waiting until Friday when I will be about 13/14dpo. Although it’s so hard to resist the urge when you see people getting a BFP from 8dpo 🤪

It’s impossible @Presently83 but well done for looking after yourself.
we can get there it isn’t long! Yoga or a good podcast - bake a cake anything to get your mind off of the testing addiction 🤣

I am due next weekend so I have a little longer yet. 😘
hope you all had a good weekend

@Presently83 sorry to read of your situation. I was in your position last month, it’s so difficult. Be extra kind to yourself ❤️

I think I have a pesky indent, I only have cheap pound tests in that my mother buys me when she sees them! And only had one left…
I came home after a bad day at work and thought I’d POAS to get me through the evening (my sons bday today and the age gap blues got to the better of me also)

but …. Then I saw a small line, I couldn’t photograph it without a lot of effort, so it leans more towards an indent (as well I took the case off to avoid flashback when photographing, but I could see it with the casing!)

vent over sorry to over indulge … photos attached for any advice… after over a year I’m not getting hopes up … 🤪🤪
