@Angelselevenx fingers crossed for you, I hope they get back to you today and with good news x

Natty83 · 04/04/2023 08:24

@AlleycatMarie I hope all went well this morning but if you didn't ahem manage to deliver the package so to speak you're still in with a really good shout, you've dtd twice over the most fertile period - sending lots of baby dust your way x

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 08:25

@Natty83 I also did a digital test this morning and got pregnant 1-2 weeks which seems correct as I'm 14dpo. Done another FRER and an IC and lines still showing.

Spotting is normal, I should take my own advice but when period is due a lot of women get bleeding. I've been googling religiously 😅

Natty83 · 04/04/2023 08:33

@Angelselevenx same on taking my own advice 😂 apologies to everyone I've ever said "don't test for a few days and stop obsessing" to, I'm a massive hypocrite!

Moriquendi · 04/04/2023 08:41

@Cindy1802 Great line for 11 dpo!! Congratulations 🥳

@Natty83 Spotting is definitely normal for lots of people, especially around the time of your period. Try not to worry, much easier said than done, I know! 🤞for you

Natty83 · 04/04/2023 08:43

Random fun thought - anyone who's ovulated in the last few days/about to - could potentially get a due date of Christmas day!

bringmearainbow · 04/04/2023 09:32

@Natty83 think my due date would be about 22nd. Least it would get me out of cooking Christmas dinner 😂

Floralsandsmiles · 04/04/2023 09:38

Wow so many BFP! Congrats to @Cindy1802 @Natty83 @Angelselevenx ! Amazing! If I got my BFP end of next week, I'd be due on Xmas eve 😍 xxxx

After saying for years I’d hate a Xmas baby I’ve really come round to the idea (and I’m manifesting positive vibes this cycle).

Pros are everyone in a good mood, will be off work anyway, child not too young in the school year and you can hunker down for Jan, and once baby is about 3 months the weather is lovely!

Also if they’re born on Xmas day it gives them something to say in work ‘tell me a fact about you’.

Also selfishly hoping the hospital might be a bit quieter 😂

Mummyme87 · 04/04/2023 09:56

@Mushroo yes also been against Christmas babies but actually would quite like a couple of weeks before Christmas for the reasons you give. On the hospital front, I would say they aren’t any quieter on the whole, everything goes ahead as normal except no elective CS on the BH. Women are more keen to get out from PN ward but otherwise… our Christmas and new year 2022 was horrific.

4dpo. Not really thinking about it. Away in Edinburgh at friends house so fairly occupied.

bringmearainbow · 04/04/2023 10:01

I was due around Christmas Day last year the timing never bothered me I think you get to a point where you just don't care when they are born

Seasidegirll · 04/04/2023 10:36

Ah thanks for new thread @Floralsandsmiles!! ❤️

So many BFP! 🎉 what a great start to this new thread!

Im currently 8/9dpo and time is going weirdly quickly! I’ve tried really hard this cycle to block out any symptoms and just carry on as normal. I had SO many positive symptoms last cycle, I was convinced I was pregnant, so when AF finally arrived I was absolutely gutted. I don’t think I’m going to test early this time, I’m getting absolutely sick of seeing BFN all the time. AF is due either Sunday or Monday so I’m going to try and hold out until Monday 🤞🏻How’s everyone else getting on? Who’s next to test?

Aww I feel you darling @Seasidegirll ! I was convinced in my last cycle and was devasted. This time I'm trying to get along with things and put it out of my head... xxx

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 11:43

@Natty83 how you doing? are you still spotting?

Spoke to EPU earlier and they aren't concerned at this stage, because it came on my period due date and it's brown they aren't worried. Said they'd get me in for a scan but no point as they wouldn't see anything yet anyway and that would make me worry. Said to ring back next week and I can go in for a scan as I'd be 6 weeks x

Natty83 · 04/04/2023 12:03

@Angelselevenx oh that's great news, and a massive bonus if you can get a scan from them at 6 weeks. I had a private scan at 7 weeks with my DS and it helped so much with my anxiety over it (we were trying for years and I had it my head it would never happen).

I'm still spotting but it was brown just now whereas it was pink this morning so that seems good? My app said I was due Sunday but it does tend to just guess me at 22 days when in reality my cycle can be anywhere from 21-24 so maybe I was actually due to have a longer cycle (24) this time and was due today too x

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 12:05

@Natty83 same as me then, spotting when due on! Honestly I've non stopped googled but it's so so common, keep an eye on it though. Brown is just old blood coming out most of the time 🤞🏼 keep me updated x

bringmearainbow · 04/04/2023 12:11

@Angelselevenx ahhh that's great they will get you in for an early scan. Are you still spotting today?

@Seasidegirll I've been pregnant 3 times and it was only my 3rd one I had heartburn at 6DPO the rest of them I had no unusual symptoms at all. I think I'll test on Saturday even though it's very likely BFN because it will only be 8dpo 🙈

Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 12:13

@bringmearainbow I was this morning, but it seems to have stopped for a little bit 🤞🏼 so I'll see if it comes back tonight or if it's stopped completely now.

Floralsandsmiles · 04/04/2023 12:16

This is good that they said not to worry and will get you for a scan early @Angelselevenx !
You say your 14dpo? So it's definitely not implantation?

I'm getting all kinds of weird feeling today. I'm 4dpo and feeling like stretching and like a light stabbing feeling in my left side. This is normally the ovary I feel ovulation from and docs said my most functioning ovary... however its too early for implantation right? Xxx

OP posts:
Angelselevenx · 04/04/2023 12:18

@Floralsandsmiles they said it could be remanence of implantation bleeding as it's brown it's not new blood. Yeah I'm 14dpo today. It seems to have stopped for a little bit so fingers crossed it's stopped now, I'm peeing for England so no doubt I'll be going for another wee in half an hour so I'll check again then 🥲.

I had light stabbing/pinching feeling which I was convinced was implantation, I think that was 6dpo xx

bringmearainbow · 04/04/2023 12:22

@Angelselevenx ahh that's good glad it's stopped

@Floralsandsmiles I think implantation bleeding can still go on for a few days which is why some ladies mistake it for their period. I would say it's too early could just be some normal stretching like pushing that egg along a bit 🤔

Aww I'm sure it's completely fine darling @Angelselevenx 😘
Aww OK, so mine can't be implantation then as I'm too early and it's not 6dpo. Thats a shame, I was hoping that's what it was xxxx

@Floralsandsmiles thank you 🤍. It could be!! You may have ovulated earlier or maybe you're implanting earlier! Every ones different don't forget 😊 xxx

I don't know, I defiantly got the Ovulation at peak... and I havent heard of anyone implanting at 4dpo.. so I think it's wishful thinking. 😬 😑🙁 xxxx
