Hi,

Currently trying for DC 2, already have a 2 year old DS.

I should have ovulated today 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Anyone else entering the TWW? Due AF 7th Jan but will probably end up testing a couple days before 😄

@MrsL22 I think frer are 6.5 miu so even more sensitive? I’m trying one tomorrow I think 🙈
I will be 12dpo tomorrow. X

MrsL22 · 05/02/2023 21:39

@Mrsrobinsonx ahhh so you’re a couple days ahead of me! I imagine you will see a better line progression than me. I’ll be 10dpo tomorrow hence why I cannot trust the tests today. Although I did also do a clear blue early (can’t help myself 🙈) and that also has the faintest line so I guess that’s a tiny bit more reassurance.

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 05:32

Morning all!

Well this is me - up since 3:30 after poas (again) and can’t stop going over the possibility of a chemical in my brain. Line looks ever so slightly darker this morning but also was only about 18 hours after yesterdays and they say that HGV only doubles around every 48-72 hours so not sure what I was expecting to see.

I also know that the chances of losing a pregnancy is high (1 in 3) but I also know that the probability of losing two in a row is significantly lower (2%) - just can’t help feel as though I’m the 2% 🙈

Any advice welcome on how to stop my brain going on overdrive and driving me insane.

Sorry for the rant… just needed to offload and you guys have become my safe space.

@Mrsrobinsonx @DancingNancies @Tbark @30mummy how are all your positives coming on?? Here for some good news 🤞🏼

30mummy · 06/02/2023 05:41

Congratulations on all your BFPs!!

@MrsL22 I had to go to EPU, ive had 2 blood tests 1 at 12dpo which was 34 and 1 at 14dpo which was 41. I have to go back today 16dpo, but they think it may be ectopic.. never had a pregnancy before so I obviously googled and doesnt look good when they are not nearly doubling xx

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 06:12

@30mummy ah I’m so sorry!! I hope that todays levels are much better and it was just a slow start 🤞🏼

I've no idea what levels are normal or what tests should look like on each day! What made you go to EPU?

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/02/2023 06:29

@MrsL22 as long as the line is still there you’re still in the game - I think you probably want a darker line by the time AF is due (though for me this was true for clearblue and harder to see on IC until they’d dried). Thinking of you.

@30mummy sorry to hear you’re going through such a stressful time. Hope your appointment today is better and at least gives you more useful information xx

30mummy · 06/02/2023 06:31

@MrsL22 i was having pain in my shoulder and was told by my GP to call them, they booked me in straight away but i thought it may be to early for anything pregnancy related. I don't think it matters so much about the first number, i think its just needs to nearly double in 48 hours? Not had the pain in my shoulder since either! Xx

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 06:32

This is yesterday vs 3:30 this morning - sooooo faint but also slightly darker I feel today??

I’ve done an edited one with beta raised so it’s darker.

@MrsL22 it does look a little darker but I think you should be comparing every two days anyway (rather than every one). I barely had a line at all at 10dpo (and nothing really at 9dpo) so it looks promising to me xx

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 06:59

@Downtherabbithole83 that makes me feel better 🥹
I will try and wait until Wednesday to test again as I’m just going to wind myself up otherwise.

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/02/2023 07:15

@MrsL22 these are my (dry) internet cheapies from evening of 9dpo to morning of 13dpo. As you can see there is little change strip to strip but a clear one from first to last. Hopefully it helps to see it xx

Much as I’m anxious because of my last pregnancy, I’m a big believer in ‘what will be, will be’ and try to just go with it. I’ve tested loads because I needed to see the line was still there but yesterday I did run 7km and we dtd as I decided I wasn’t going to let the fear rule my life for the next 8 weeks! My last pregnancy was going really well until a problem was found at the scan and there was nothing I could do about it so I’ve decided to try and enjoy the excitement whilst it’s here 🤷‍♀️

@Downtherabbithole83 It’s a really good attitude to have! I’m hoping being at work will just keep me distracted.
I didn’t show at all one one of those IC but my saving grace is that I did also have a very faint positive on a clear blue so I know it’s not just the FRER having me on.

Mrsrobinsonx · 06/02/2023 07:44

@30mummy ahh I really hope everything is ok and your pregnancy is all good 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@MrsL22 I haven’t tested again yet but probably will later when kids are at school. I’m so scared as I had line progression with my last chemical so I can’t even trust that 🙈

@Downtherabbithole83 I’ll try take a leaf out of your book, I so badly want to be excited but also very much guarding myself. X

SimplyChic · 06/02/2023 08:32

Looks like another BFN and no AF this month. My body is just being mean now ☹️

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/02/2023 08:50

@SimplyChic I’m really sorry that it was a bfn. When was the last time you had AF?

@Mrsrobinsonx, let us know when you’ve tested and share a pic if you are worried about line eyes xx

SimplyChic · 06/02/2023 08:54

@Downtherabbithole83 the last time was the 11th of December and finished on the 16th. Really don't want to have to go to the doctors but at this rate I will probably need to.

Mrsrobinsonx · 06/02/2023 09:48

@SimplyChic I’d definitely ask for some advice hun!

Mrsrobinsonx · 06/02/2023 09:49

@Downtherabbithole83 thank you! 2 more faint lines today so that’s 4 in total 🙈
Still soooo faint though so I can’t get excited. I’m going to wait until Wednesday now to take another and hope it’s still good 🤞🏻

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 10:42

@Mrsrobinsonx thats like me mine are soooo faint!!
Have more FRERs arriving today so going to need to be in a straight jacket to resist testing 🙈

SimplyChic · 06/02/2023 10:46

@Mrsrobinsonx I have sent in an online request to my GP about it today. I have a feeling they will try and fob me off though as it's not 3 cycles missed yet

Mrsrobinsonx · 06/02/2023 10:49

@MrsL22 this is mine from this morning. I don’t think you can even see it on camera! I’m going to wait until AF is due Wednesday and test again then. X

MrsL22 · 06/02/2023 12:00

This is mine @Mrsrobinsonx so I think yours is more obvious than mine!

Pitstop1986 · 06/02/2023 12:18

@SimplyChic even if they try to fob you off, ask for some routine bloods so that they can rule out anything glaringly obvious such as a vitamin deficiency or thyroid levels slightly abnormal. You can pay to get private hormones levels done. I think it's usually £70 or £80 but if it puts your mind at ease it's worth the money

I did another test this morning after having a dream that I got a very faint positive. I got another negative. Hunger has subsided today and I don't need the loo every 5 minutes, so I think AF is on her way. I'm not out until she arrives, but I'm not getting my hopes up

SimplyChic · 06/02/2023 12:33

@Pitstop1986 they actually booked me in for an appointment on the 16th. It gives it some more time to appear, its supposed to be a 10 minute appointment, so not so sure what they will do. I suppose they think it's important enough so see me rather than a telephone call so hopefully if no changes by then, they will try to help 😊

Downtherabbithole83 · 06/02/2023 12:46

@SimplyChic I’m glad they’ve got you booked in for an appointment - hopefully knowing that’s coming up will help xx

@Pitstop1986 sorry that it was still bfn. Your appetite may have subsided a bit but I would still recommend copious amounts of chocolate as needed!
