TTC chat thread 4

[Tropicana1]

New thread ladies as were nearly at 1000 and I don't want to lose you guys 😂

@MrsCristiano really hope you're having an amazing holiday and have had a stronger line now! Can't wait to hear! 😃

@MamaSJ15 definitely agree, it can't hurt that they're keeping a close eye I suppose! Also have had an appointment through from the specialty cardiology team, it's amazing how much faster they jump when you say you're pregnant - I've been waiting over a year for a follow up cardiology appt 😂First injection done today and not as bad as I feared!
Keeping fingers crossed for you, when do you think you'll test?
@MrsCristiano hope you're having an amazing hols 😊
@Hjudge56 how are you doing? where are you in your cycle?

@alwaysseeingstars im good thank you! How are you? ☺️

I’m CD19 atm! Managed to DTD CD12, 14 & 15 and I think I ovulated CD 16 or 17. So we shall see! Trying to take the pressure off now we’re back up and running haha! At the time you think ‘yeah I’ve covered this’ but once ovulation passes it’s always a case of ‘I should have done more’ !!!

@Hjudge56 honestly please don't stress, it sounds like you've more than covered it!! In the cycle I had a CP we only DTD once, and this time only twice in the FW. Keeping fingers crossed for you!
I'm panicking now as my bloating has gone, still no sickness, even my boobs are less sore. Good things but worried about it being a bad thing!

@alwaysseeingstars yeah technically I have covered it I’m sure but it comes down to fate If something progresses end of the day!

Try not to panic <3 I know it’s easier said than done! How far along are you now? Many, many, many woman don’t have any of the symptoms that we hear of as ‘normal’! A lot of my friends have been one way (alllll the symptoms) or the other (nothing at all) and still had healthy pregnancies! It’s a weird thought thinking there’s something in there, but there is!!! And until bump really starts to show it can be hard to hold onto the fact that it is all going okay in there!!

@alwaysseeingstars that's good that you've got the appointment now! Ah good, I think I'd struggle with injecting myself!
Well the thought of testing has already started to cross my mind so I'm trying not to! Haha hoping to just wait it out this time, if AF doesn't arrive Friday then I think I'll test Saturday but it'll still only be 11dpo so still early really.

@Hjudge56 I'm roughly 8+5 today. Thanks, hopefully I'm worrying about nothing! Everybody on the pregnancy forum is having an early scan but we've decided not to (mostly for money reasons, but also as DH has OCD and we think getting one 'extra' scan would end up being a lot more than one 😂) so I think that makes it a bit harder, just the not knowing. Like you say, once there's a bump and then some movement hopefully it'll be a lot easier to believe!!
@MamaSJ15 I thought I would too, but DH has a bad phobia of needles so there's no way he'd be helping me 😂Ah that'll be great if you can wait till Sat, if you have a short LP you'd imagine implantation would be relatively early? I admit I have no real idea though haha! When do you move? 😊

@alwaysseeingstars how incredibly exciting for you ❤️ Yeah you haven’t got too long to go for your first scan! Exactly once your at a point where you can feel those things you may settle your mind! Embrace every second xx

@alwaysseeingstars oh no that's not very helpful is it 😂 Im really not sure. I'd assume if implantation were to occur then it would stop AF from arriving. But I know implantation can sometimes be as late as 12dpo so no idea how that works!
We move next weekend, so this weekend will be a full on packing weekend!

@alwaysseeingstars everyone seems to be getting early ones don't they!! I had no idea so many would. My nausea has lessened a lot today and I'm semi panicked about that so I'm right with you there - early pregnancy is a big old stress isn't it!

I was debating whether to go for an early scan at 7 weeks just to check if all's ok and the devil must have heard me as i started having bad cramps and bleeding so had to rush to the A&E and was scanned at the EPU right away. Luckily nothing bad has happened then but it is such a worry! I got the Dawn results today and all's good too. I am nearly 15 weeks and it is just now that i start feeling i can rest my brain lol early pregnancy is no fun!

@Kitty901 oh wow that must have been scary! But glad all is okay 😊 it's such a shame that early pregnancy is such a worry. My first pregnancy I was in such ignorance about it all, I'd never experienced any early losses or anything at that point so I thought nothing of it. I've since had two so definitely a lot more anxious about it!

@Tropicana1 they really do, I definitely feel like the odd one out 😂Oh that's good, but agree with you on it making you worry! My bloating returned with a vengeance last night so hopefully I was worrying about nothing. 12 weeks just seems such a long time to not have a clue what's going on!
@Kitty901 oh I completely understand getting a scan if you have cramps/bleeding, glad all was OK though! And glad the downs results came back ok too, that must be a worry off your mind.
@MamaSJ15 I'm keeping everything crossed for you with both the testing and the moving, stressful times!
@Hjudge56 3 weeks and 5 days till the scan (not that I'm counting) but I've got a fortnight it France between now and then so hopefully that'll stop me overthinking everything 😆

@alwaysseeingstars thank you 😊 trying my hardest not to test yet! I keep thinking about it but so far my willpower is staying strong 👍😂

I keep getting a metallic taste in my mouth today, and my joints (knees mainly) have been hurting yesterday/today. The mouth ulcer is still there but fading 👍 and I had a short spell of lower back ache. I'm sure all these things can just mean AF is on the way but it does feel a little different to usual 🤷🏼‍♀️ guess we'll find out soon.

@MamaSJ15 ah, I really hope this is good news for you!!

Hi everyone. I got my BFP Monday. I’ve had brown spotting everyday since. Today I have red spotting and mild cramping. I have phoned EPU and they’ve said it’s sounds okay. But I had what I thought was a period around 2 weeks ago and I’m nervous that this was a miscarriage. Has anyone had anything similar and been through a healthy pregnancy. I’ve had a miscarriage a year ago tomorrow and I can’t do it again 😭😭

Hi @MapleSyrup2112 have you done any more tests since your first? Id be worried if the line was getting lighter but if not I'd say it's okay hopefully 😊

they had been getting darker

@MapleSyrup2112 that's promising that the EPU don't sound concerned, my midwife told me unless I had severe cramping and some bleeding then not to be worried. I know that's an impossible task though!! Sorry about your miscarriage 😥

@alwaysseeingstars thanks lovely. It’s just so unnerving and I don’t want to tell my partner about it cos he’ll worry more than me ! I just want to be out of the dark once I see my baby on the scan I’ll feel so much better ✨✨

@MapleSyrup2112 definitely a good sign that the tests are getting darker! Hope you can get a scan or something soon to put your mind at ease 😊 it's not easy is it! Will this be your first baby? Sorry if you've already said x

What do we think? I'm sure I can see a faint line. I don't usually see things on these. Did a FRER too when I saw this but I don't see anything on that.

@MamaSJ15 it's hard to tell, I feel like my eyes are drawn to something there though! Those cheapies are reaalllly hard to get a photo of though I find, I think even 3 days after my clear FRER I couldn't get a good pic of one. Did you use FMU for both tests? Really hope this is a bfp!! ❤️

@alwaysseeingstars I could definitely see something in person and that's not like me! Yeah both fmu. I caved and tested early anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️ AF due today but still only 10/11dpo today
