Ahh, huge congratulations @monsteramunch so glad you've got such a lovely BFP 💕

pangolin84 · 04/02/2023 12:22

That’s a great line @monsteramunch ! Big congratulations 🥳
We’re BFP buddies! Really hope both our little beans stick around.
going to do my last weeks indicator on Thursday, and pray for the 3+. This whole thing is so stressful! I go from feeling really hopeful, then telling myself off in case it goes wrong again. There’s nothing we can do to change the outcome though, trying to be more zen.

@MrsJGrealish That response from your DH made me laugh. He must be super worried, although not worried enough to give up his candle-lit baths 🧐😂

MrsJGrealish · 04/02/2023 13:14

@pangolin84 is his defence it was a really short bath, we are gutting are en-suite with the shower so at least he's clean 🤣 I gave him a massive list of housework today and no complaints. Hope you're feeling okay ❤️ I'm super tired I hate Saturday work 🙄

LuckyMoonstone · 04/02/2023 13:37

@MrsJGrealish omg I am loving this whole situation for you 😂 cleaning, cash and compliments 🤣 but on a serious note I do hope you have a good chat soon and he takes on board what you say

MrsJGrealish · 04/02/2023 13:57

@LuckyMoonstone yea I know.. it'll be done this weekend xx really didn't expect DS2 to make an appearance yesterday but lovely to see him ❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 04/02/2023 14:01

@MrsJGrealish Sounds like he's had a bit of a wake up call there! Long may it last 😂

@curliegirlie How are you doing?

@bringmearainbow How are you feeling today?

bringmearainbow · 04/02/2023 14:17

@MrsJGrealish bloody hell you're on to a winner there 😂

@TheBirdintheCave I'm all good nothing exciting to report sore boobs, cm is just creamy now and having a few twinges today it's getting to that point where I'm itching to poas though 🙄 which is obviously pointless because it's 6DPO 😂 gotta stay strong until Thursday 🙊 how you feeling?

TheBirdintheCave · 04/02/2023 14:44

@bringmearainbow You can do it! Not long to wait until you can test now :) I'm ok. 8dpo for me and I just feel totally normal at the moment. I had a bit of cramping before whilst I was at the park with the boy but other then that nada. I was expecting sore boobs at least by now 🤷🏻‍♀️

bringmearainbow · 04/02/2023 16:06

@TheBirdintheCave I know not long to wait I'll just make myself go for a wee in the morning then the opportunity is gone 😂 honestly I just torture myself 🙄 almost another day done though so that something at least! I'm trying to remember if I had any symptoms with ds and I really don't think I did other than the boobs 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was pretty normal until 6 weeks but maybe I just didn't read into every little thing 😂

TheBirdintheCave · 04/02/2023 16:32

@bringmearainbow Yeah I had nothing with my son at all. All the symptoms started after 14dpo as far as I can remember.

@Happinessandrainbows yes just the one. I have been thinking this as the others have said it's a borderline result, if it does come back as chromosomal we may try just for March, then have the treatment anyway and try again or go for IVF from June. I can't remember if I said but I find this time of year super stressful (it's my bday today but so many around this time) that I want to avoid pregnancy in certain months. It sounds crazy and I've contemplated just going for it, but mentally I know I'd struggle xxxx

@FfayeN Happy birthday lovely xx

Happinessandrainbows · 04/02/2023 18:36

@FfayeN yes, it's definitely very borderline and seems it's meant to be low at that stage of the cycle anyways, so if it's eg. 2% or so lower than what they would like, it seems to not necessarily be a major issue? Sorry, it's just my interpretation of it. I think on Monday you'll know in your heart what feels like that right plan for you ❤️
You've been less active here recently so I did worry that you were really struggling, which wouldn't be surprising at all considering everything you'd been through. We are all here for you, any time.
I know there's no advice to give because when you're dealing with something as awful as pregnancy loss, 'go for a run ' or 'read a good book ' is really not what you want to hear and not something that could necessarily help you feel better long term.
Happy Birthday and sorry if it's not been a good one given how much is going on 🌸❤️
Do you find that there are any activities that make you feel a bit better even if for a short period of time?

TheBirdintheCave · 04/02/2023 18:41

Happy birthday @FfayeN ! ❤️❤️

LuckyMoonstone · 04/02/2023 18:43

Happy birthday @FfayeN 😊

monsteramunch · 04/02/2023 18:47

Happy birthday to you @FfayeN! Flowers

Thank you ladies 🥰.

@Happinessandrainbows thank you for such a lovely message. I felt a bit in limbo and a bit unrelatable on here and work has been unbelievably busy so just watched from the sidelines 🥰. I agree, if it was super low I'd be worried, but it does look borderline. My NHS lady Monday may shed more light. I can't really say about activities, I don't feel like I have time other than trying to exercise a bit more but I feel a bit overwhelmed just with life at the mo, I'm working my way through Greys Anatomy as a bit of escapism.
My friend has just started IVF so it's easy to talk to her about stuff, but if she falls first time I'm definitely the one lagging behind so it's bittersweet even though I am so happy for her moving forward. That was a bit of a scrambled reply sorry 🫣. I'm ok, looking forward to having a plan xxx

Ahhh happy birthday for yesterday @FfayeN ❤️ hope you got spoilt xxx

2nd morning waking up with horrific dry mouth def not usual for me but was one of my second pregnancy symptoms. At this point it could be anything though so I'm not getting my hopes up 🙊 I've made it to halfway 🥳 7dpo

monsteramunch · 05/02/2023 08:08

@bringmearainbow

Yay! Half of the TWW is done for you - I've got a super dry mouth too, didn't realise that was a thing!

monsteramunch · 05/02/2023 08:12

FRER line not much darker than yesterday's but digital is less sensitive (I think) and seems on board with the whole 'yep you're finally pregnant' thing! Meant to do some work today but it's going to be really hard to concentrate 😂

POAS: Why use one when you can use twelve?! 🌈 💕
monsteramunch · 05/02/2023 08:15

Just did a comparison and it is a bit darker than yesterday (photo taken in the same spot / light) at the three minute mark exactly each time) I think?

TheBirdintheCave · 05/02/2023 08:17

@monsteramunch The digi's lower limit is 25miu so you have at least that amount but probably more. The upper limit on a FRER is 100miu I think before you start getting a dye stealer so likely you're somewhere in between 25-100 🤓

TheBirdintheCave · 05/02/2023 08:17

@monsteramunch Definitely darker :)

theblueflowers · 05/02/2023 08:21

@monsteramunch it's absolutely darker! That's looking like perfect progression. Congratulations, lovely x
