@dmcint I replied initially to say congrats and sorry I was too busy to reply. If she was a good friend I would have been more honest but didn’t feel like opening up with her. I’ve sent a longer reply since asking how she’s doing.

Helloooooo!

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 10:11

Hey! I’m glad the tagging worked 😅
may have to go back to the old thread and make sure I didn’t miss anyone. Also didn’t want to tag anyone who isn’t taking part any more.

So I got the Boots tests and with a 2hr hold did a test. I could see a line whilst it was developing but dried to nothing. Yesterdays must have been evaps Sad I feel so low with it all, I've had so many evaps and although I know I'm probably 9/10DPO I bled for 3 days and should be showing as pregnant now if I was.

CurlyWurly1991 · 28/06/2023 10:36

Hi can I join? I’m 37 TTC#2 after a big gap. Second cycle and I’m 6dpo. Doing temping and OPKs and I’m on herbs including vitex as my periods were irregular. I’m holding out to test until at least 12dpo if my period doesn’t start by then, as I got a late hpt last time and hate the bfns.
@PollyDarton1 sorry to hear that, it’s so disappointing. Cruel the way that our bodies play tricks on us in the TWW.

PollyDarton1 · 28/06/2023 10:39

Hi @CurlyWurly1991! Lovely of you to join us ❤️

It is very brutal. The evaps are torture!

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 10:50

Oh @PollyDarton1 I’m sorry. You have had so many false starts, I can understand how you’re feeling low with it all.

Would it help to have a break from tests and “trying” for a while? I know I’ve found it easier this month since I told myself we aren’t “trying”, just not not-trying either.

Hi and welcome @CurlyWurly1991 yes the tests can be cruel. It can be so hard to wait when you feel desperate but you’re right it’s better if you can resist and spare yourself the heartbreak!

Hi ladies, really glad I found the new thread and I hope you don't mind me dipping back in, but unfortunately I think I'm having a chemical pregnancy 😔 I've had bleeding off and on and then today it feels like my actual period is here. I've spoken to my midwife and have an EPU scan booked for Tuesday as it's the earliest they can do it. You ladies are so supportive and it's really tough being on the due February threads x

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 10:56

Oh @Vic231 I am so sorry. I hadn’t tagged you as I thought you will have moved on. We are here for you whilst you wait for your scan. Big hugs

Vic231 · 28/06/2023 11:00

@HavinKittens thank you so much. And no worries at all, I'd been a silent observer to see how you were all getting on and then went to post on the old thread and saw it was full and hoped to track you down 😊 as the bleeding had been going on for a few days I think I've had some time to get my head round the outcome not being great but it's still an awful limbo time 😔 I'm hoping I'm in for the surprise of my life next week but I'm also going into the appointment thinking it's just a check and confirmation of a miscarriage.

DmcinT · 28/06/2023 11:14

@HavinKittens yeah I get ya, esp if ur not that close with her, it’s just through a wider group❤️

@PollyDarton1 I think it sounds like a wait and see, which is so hard I know. I’d just be unsure abt a 2hr hold this early on. When I didn’t have tests in I used to take a sample of fmu to use later when I got the test if that helps at all.

@Vic231 I’m sending all the positive vibes ur way, how far along would u be now? I know it can be so common to have some bleeding this early on but it deff makes u think the worst, please god that’s not the case here 🤞🏽❤️

my little update is I feel like symptoms have deff eased if not gone over yesterday and today so I’m worried that’s a bad sign 😕 I was very very sick/nausea around this stage last time (nearly 7 weeks) so it’s a worry 🙈

Vic231 · 28/06/2023 11:20

@DmcinT thank you lovely! I am 5+2 and will be 6+1 when they do the scan. It's so so early and so much blood that I'm just not very optimistic and I'm usually very optimistic, just being rational now I think 😔

LA7887 · 28/06/2023 11:32

Hello, is it OK to join?

TTC number 2 but not obsessively (yet 🤣) just at the fun stage but I have been tracking ovulation just to make sure its happening as I have suspected PCOS (not confirmed yet).

Looks like I ovulate day 9 according to the ovulation tests and on Day 16 currently.

CinderRosie · 28/06/2023 11:35

Thanks for the tag! Can't believe we filled that thread so quickly!

@Vic231 sorry to hear about your situation, being in limbo about anything is the worst.

I'm CD13 today, still getting flashing smileys so I'm predicting static for tomorrow. We DTD 3 days ago and 2 days ago but last night were just both too tired 😂 Need to make the effort tonight especially if O is on the way for tomorrow. Last two cycles we've only DTD on the day of the static and obviously not got pregnant.

PollyDarton1 · 28/06/2023 12:16

Oh @Vic231 I'm sorry. I'm hoping it's just an early bleed for you (I had one too at 5 weeks with my DS) and you'll get some good news at EPU.

Hey and welcome Flowers

Goldie1234 · 28/06/2023 12:30

Thanks for doing the new thread @HavinKittens !!

Hope you get a real answer soon @PollyDarton1 ! Your tests have been so confusing !!

So sorry @Vic231 will keep fingers crossed for you for the scan ! So hard having to wait until then !

Where is everyone in their cycle ?
I decided to track LH this month and had darkest line yesterday, so I'm guessing today (cd15)is O day 🤷🏽‍♀️👍🏽been having cramps on left side for over a month now.. last week's scan showed that's the side I'm ovulating this month. Also have progesterone bloods booked in for day 21 next week as my other bloods came back all normal.

Kellyaust · 28/06/2023 13:07

Hi, hope its OK to join? I'm 10dpo currently and thought I'd had symptoms but just realised I think I have a yeast infection 🤦‍♀️ I had an MMC beginning of may... Bled til 6th june, I had rpoc and infection and the antibiotics have given me a yeast infection now so looks like I actually don't have symptoms like I thought.

I ovulated 18th june and I was so excited I'd ovulated again coz I'm now 38 and was worried about ovulating etc...

Then I had what now seems to be an evap on an frer so now I'm just waiting for my period this weekend so I can start all over again 🤞

ttcthoughts · 28/06/2023 13:46

@HavinKittens thank you for doing a new thread (soph) just changed my name 😂

@Vic231 i keep my fingers crossed for you lovely! How are tou feeling?

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 14:48

Hey Soph! Glad you found us

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 14:53

Sorry I didn’t mean to reply so quickly. This new thread isn’t going to last long if I keep on double posting!

also wanted to say hello and welcome to @Kellyaust really sorry to hear about your MMC. Is this your first time ttc or do you already have dc? I find FRER are awful for evaps but they’re also the most sensitive tests so it’s hard to resist using them!

also welcome to @LA7887 when do you think you’ll test? Do you prefer to wait til after you’re due or can you not wait (like me!)

@Goldie1234 I am Cd14 so I am assuming I’ll ovulate soon as it was cd15 last cycle. We last DTD 4 days ago tho so would need to try soon if we have any hope this cycle. I’m trying to be less pressured about it though so won’t pester DH 😅

Hi can I join 🙋🏼‍♀️ ttc #2 just about to start cycle 2, have my pre-AF spotting today so will be CD1 soon, just wish it would hurry up and start already the cramps are bad enough 😅 had some really bad clearblue evaps last cycle so won't be using them again. Also had no EWCM past few cycles so I don't know what's going on there 🤷🏼‍♀️

HavinKittens · 28/06/2023 15:01

Hello and welcome @naggy095 hoping AF arrives soon and sending you positive vibes for cycle 2

how did ttc go with your first baby?

OP posts:
naggy095 · 28/06/2023 15:21

@HavinKittens I was very lucky ttc last time, I fell pregnant in cycle 3. I was very relaxed that cycle and didn't obsess over the TWW as the 2 cycles before I went a bit crazy 😂 also had no caffeine and drank lots of pomegranate juice so I intend to do the same this time around
