@FfoxRedN I knew I knew I knew you'd get a positive this month!!! Knew it!!! (Tears of joy) How are you feeling?❣️

@MrsJGrealish Def a positive 💗
@Indianna2006 in my experience and opinions, e@h is the most reliable brand out there ☺️

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 07:26

@FfoxRedN good luck at hospital..just tell them you're newly pregnant 😁 (fab line btw ) so they don't give you anything that's contraindicated.

My cats hate me I hate them. We ignore each other 🤣

FfoxRedN · 15/03/2023 07:28

@MrsJGrealish I will do thanks lovely 💕

@Happinessandrainbows I feel all out of sorts and nervous as hell! xx

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 07:34

@Happinessandrainbows I always did like that brand until I got a pack that always flooded. Probably user error 😅 got a new pack though and they were better xx feeling shit today so hopefully a good thing, my CM is intense 🙈

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 07:36

@FfoxRedN my gp tried to give me trimethoprim. I'm like no mate it's cefalexin or nothing

bunnykins123 · 15/03/2023 07:39

@FfoxRedN that's not a faint line! Got everything crossed this is your stickie bean - I'm so pleased for you! Is this the first month after taking the new meds? Sorry about your hand, looks painful 😖

@MrsJGrealish I see it too! Are you late now? I had loads of cm when AF was due so that could be a really good sign 🤞

FfoxRedN · 15/03/2023 07:42

@bunnykins123 I couldn't get the meds in time so this is a pure punt on odds and luck being on my side. If it ends, which I am 99% sure it will, I'll take the meds for 3 months and have IVF. xx

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 08:01

@bunnykins123 yes I'm officially late today. Im in work with a test and a night time pad. It's nigh on impossible to test at work though. One toilet many woman 🙄 busy shop.

bunnykins123 · 15/03/2023 08:02

@FfoxRedN nooo you don't know that. I know it's bloody hard, but try to stay positive. Remember this is a different egg, different sperm, different pregnancy. There is every chance this will be your little rainbow baby 🌈💕

bunnykins123 · 15/03/2023 08:03

@MrsJGrealish oh I know what you mean, we have that same at our work too. Thankfully I can get to more toilets but it means I have to shove the tests down my bra to hide from everyone! The fact you're late is really promising, keep us updated! Will keep checking to see updated 🤞🤞

Indianna2006 · 15/03/2023 08:11

@FfoxRedN yes I see I see. Literally everything crossed this one is a healthy bean. Otherwise feel like you really having given it all a natural whirl and like you said otherwise you know the plan forward.
but let this be it 🥰🥰🤞🏼

@MrsJGrealish deffo take another test. Do another easy at home this morning to compare 🥰🥰

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 08:24

I've such a bad feeling that this might be ectopic but no bleeding and the pain comes and goes 🤷‍♀️ I'll do one at home for a full 24 hours between them I think. But I have one with me if I lose my focus @Indianna2006

@FfoxRedN let us know how you get on at hospital xx

Happinessandrainbows · 15/03/2023 08:38

@FfoxRedN because all you have known from previous pregnancies is loss, it is totally normal to feel like this pregnancy would end in the same way BUT it's a feeling, it's not a fact.
I think it would be so symbolic for you to have your rainbow baby from this pregnancy which was your last try before starting meds.
I think your bad luck must surely have run out now! Feel so positive about this ❤️

bunnykins123 · 15/03/2023 12:54

@MrsJGrealish I had a lot of pains around AF. Genuinely thought AF was on its way, the pains have continued on and off throughout the first trimester. I think even if it was ectopic, the chances of feeling anything at this stage would be slim. I had one sided pain which was the corpus luteum - so could be that? Have you tested again?

curliegirlie · 15/03/2023 13:06

@FfoxRedN a tentative congratulations on a lovely line and @MrsJGrealish I hope yours continue to get less squinty....

I've had a huge amount of EWCM for the last couple of days and I'm only CD9, it's really odd...

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 13:09

@bunnykins123 I think you're 💯 right. Haven't tested yet. It's shit because I'm up at 6am for work, exhausted and can't bloody leave the shop and am now feeling paranoid. I keep running to the loo and feel like everyone is watching 😂😂

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 13:11

@curliegirlie I am also hoping for that😭 xx

FfoxRedN · 15/03/2023 13:17

@curliegirlie I had a LOT of CM, when will you test do you think?

@MrsJGrealish so I walked to St Bart's only to find out their minor injuries was shut due to the strikes so on the advise of 111 I am now on my way to my local hospital! How is the back ache now? I've had what felt like ovulation pains, but again, totally different every single time! I have had pregnancies where I've had terrible cramps, hopefully it's just that little bean implanting properly 🙏🏼 xxx

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 13:46

@FfoxRedN thing is I don't feel period cramps it's so weird. This is the non crampiest I've ever been. My back/hip aches when I'm laying down at night. Weirdest cycle EVER

So you're on your way to hospital? How's the hand?

FfoxRedN · 15/03/2023 13:48

@MrsJGrealish that is so strange, but strange could be a good change from the norm 🤞🏼. I have everything crossed for you and am sure there will be a darker line if you can get some FMU. xxx
Yeah on the way there now, it's slightly worse, just hoping the antibiotics will kick in quick and make it look less deformed 😂🤣. xx

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 14:01

@FfoxRedN I'm so bored of even thinking about me 😭 are the junior drs striking today?

FfoxRedN · 15/03/2023 14:02

@MrsJGrealish Yeah I think for the week?! I mean, I did read that you can get paid more in Pret so I don't blame them 😳 xx

curliegirlie · 15/03/2023 14:31

I'm CD9 (with a usual ov day of CD15-17), not 9DPO! Luckily we're off on holiday to Malta in 10 days time (for 10 days) so that should keep me occupied this cycle, as I'm due on the day we return on 4th April!

MrsJGrealish · 15/03/2023 14:39

@curliegirlie 'remembering fondly the times I ovulated early' that's brilliant! So jealous!!

@FfoxRedN great line btw j don't even know if I commented 😘

curliegirlie · 15/03/2023 14:53

@MrsJGrealish dunno about that. A quick Google seems to indicate not much correlation between early EWCM and early ovulation, so who knows....and I haven't got any OPKs to check....
