Finally realised that our previous thread was full 🤣 I hope no one minds me starting up a new one!

Can you believe it's been almost a year since this was all started up?!

@krissy12 that’s a really positive sign!! Lots of women do get spotting early on and go on to have healthy pregnancies. I had 2 chemicals before this pregnancy and both times I started spotting when I tested they had already gone negative/very faint.

SarahShorty · 11/07/2023 19:13

@krissy12 I have everything crossed tightly for you xx

LucyLoopyLu · 11/07/2023 21:33

@krissy12 tentative congratulations! I think spotting early on is really common. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, but hopefully this is your time! 🤞

krissy12 · 11/07/2023 22:23

thank you @LucyLoopyLu i really hope so to I've said to my DH I think this might be the last time regardless of the outcome I find ttc and bring pregnant so stressful and I think if this is a second miscarriage then I don't think I want to try again. I'm so lucky to have my ds and want to enjoy him rather than do this emotional roller coaster again

Im in shock, I think I’m pregnant? Did a digital test yesterday and it says I’m 1-2 weeks. Can’t believe it.
AF was due yesterday, was certain it was on the way, stomach ache and the usual symptoms. Got up and had some blood on a tissue when I went for a wee but didn’t look like usual period blood if that makes sense? Did a test on the off chance and it’s positive 🤯

Alwaystired2023 · 12/07/2023 11:22

I'm so sorry this is probably such an annoying question but is there anywhere that explains all of the abbreviations? I am ttc (I worked that one out!) but was is AF? DPO is days post ovulation??

SarahShorty · 12/07/2023 11:23

@Welshgal85 congratulations!! xx

Houseelf90 · 12/07/2023 12:02

@Welshgal85 thats lovely news!! Congratulations 💕

Welshgal85 · 12/07/2023 12:04

I can’t believe it, I keep thinking it must be a mistake…

SarahShorty · 12/07/2023 12:07

@Welshgal85 that's what TTC for so long with failure after failure does to you I guess. I'm so happy for you! xx

Alwaystired2023 · 12/07/2023 12:32

Thanks so much that's super useful, can't see DPO but am going to go on my assumption..

currently trying for baby number 2 with everything crossed (apart from my legs) xx

SarahShorty · 12/07/2023 12:42

@Alwaystired2023 DPO is 'days post ovulation' yep. It took me a while when I first got here, too 🙂I wish you all the best xx

SarahShorty · 12/07/2023 13:21

I'm CD19 today. DTD'd last night as I got a high LH reading, but honestly I have just given up. I'm literally just going through the motions at this point. Two new starters at my work have got pregnant, one has given birth and the other will be giving birth around October.

To think I was sticking myself with hormones around the time the first one gave birth and then I came off another failed transfer while the other woman was just entering the second trimester. 18 months. 18 fucking months with 3 chemicals (one via IVF) and a failed implantation via IVF.

If we get another recruit who is female, I'm going to assume they, too, will get pregnant in no time and then bugger off on leave. At this rate, the only leave I'll get is compassionate because I can't fucking get pregnant.

krissy12 · 12/07/2023 14:59

@Welshgal85 omg massive congratulations

@SarahShorty I'm so sorry you are feeling this way it really is shit when people around you are getting pregnant and you aren't. but please try not be so hard on yourself you also don't know what they gave gone through to get pregnant no one in my work knows it took us over a year to get pregnant with my ds and only my boss knows about my mmc in feb as I needed time off for the surgery I told everyone else I had a stomach bug and I am quite close to some of my colleagues

krissy12 · 12/07/2023 15:47

@Welshgal85 if all works out we will be due around the same time

@krissy12 how are you getting on? Have you had any more spotting/bleeding today?

@DesertSnow how are you? Hope baby girl is all tucked up cooking away still?

krissy12 · 12/07/2023 21:43

@Houseelf90 thanks for checking in no more spotting today thankfully how are you doing?

Houseelf90 · 12/07/2023 22:11

@krissy12 oh that’s fantastic to hear!! I’m ok thank you, baby has been a bit quiet the last few days so I went in for monitoring yesterday and they requested another scan for this week - couldn’t get me in until Friday so asked me to go back for more monitoring today - baby was completely still with no movement while I was in the monitor but a good heartbeat and seems to have just woken up in the last half hour!! So I’m looking forward to seeing them on Friday having not seen them since 20 weeks! God it’s such a worry but I am so grateful to be pregnant I try not to complain too much!! And I have to say the care I have received has been phenomenal, nothing is a waste of time for them and they just want to check baby is ok!!

krissy12 · 12/07/2023 22:26

@Houseelf90 I think it's totally normal to stress my little boy wasn't the most active and was always worrying now he's 2 and doesn't sit still ! it's good that they are keeping an eye on you

Welshgal85 · 13/07/2023 07:14

Thanks girls. I don’t know what’s going on, did a test this morning and it’s negative. Any ideas? Going to wait a few days and test again

krissy12 · 13/07/2023 11:04

@Welshgal85 could you try another brand ?

Welshgal85 · 13/07/2023 11:09

@krissy12 yea maybe. I’m going to give it a few days and test again I think. I feel very nauseous and just a bit off but not sure if that’s just stress!

krissy12 · 13/07/2023 11:48

i know it is so stressful I'm still testing everyday it's ridiculous
