Hi ladies, just thought I'd create a new thread for anybody that wants to continue.

@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

@Westy22 I've started spotting abit today so I'm taking it as af pending. My boobs r still really sore!

@Sez281 yeh for that so why the hell am going for diabetes I duno but we will see when I go like @Supertrooper101 said I'm taking a list of all the things I've been feeling and what I want from them. I've been trying since November last year so it's time for me to sort this fertility out. Speaking of do I have to make another ap with the Dr or do I see these first in the hospital? Xx

@xxcxdonxx I I really hope so xx

@Jadeypie meant dr google lol i would have your ap with the hospital first. If your drs are like mune, tgey will just fob u off saying see the hospital for so and so... they shud know why your going and it clearly isnt just for a sugar test lol just go prepared. And make it clear its been 13mths. You could do with a fertility referral too or has your dr done that and the hormone ap is extra?

@Supertrooper101 I went the Dr in September and they didn't mention anything about fertility but I will bring it up in the ozzy hopefully they will just get me seen to. Af has fully arrived for me and ong its painful I feel I've given birth! This will be my 3rd 20 day cycle aswell I just don't get why it's dropped from 36 to 20 like this it's madness xx

Morning ladies, Happy New Year!

Pelvic scan looked normal 🙌 no fibroids etc they didn't give me detail but said my GP will get full report. Least that's something I suppose lol cd29 no af yet but do think she's coming just have a feeling. Next stop is day 21 bloods and get my OH in to his GP x

Happy new year, ladies! Hope you all had a great time 🥳

Great news @Westy22 on your scan, another thing you can be confident in that’s all clear and hopefully your GP can give you more details.

Morning all, hope everyone is doing ok now back to post Christmas reality!

@Westy22 that's great that scan looked clear, any sign of AF?

@Jadeypie sorry to hear it came and it was so heavy 😣 That's definitely a massive change in cycle days, hopefullly they'll find out what's going on soon 🤞When is your appointment?

9DPO here, tests all negative apart from a few obvious evaps, I don't think I'll ever trust a test until it's blazing to be honest! AF is due in 2 days and I feel like it's on the way. I'll be a bit disappointed as we threw the kitchen sink at it this cycle😕. Have appointment with consultant next week though so hopefully she can discuss meds etc to try before we have to go down ivf route 🤞

@xxcxdonxx and @Supertrooper101 hope you're both doing ok too xx

@SnookyPook I know you have your scan soon so can't wait to hear update 🙏 xx

Nothing as of yet but I do feel a bit rough and a bit crampy so I think she's on her way, I've not tested for the last 3 days because the negatives were annoying lol its very disheartening isnt it when you feel like you really really tried, its good that youve got some apps coming up though as i think it helps knowing things are still happening.

I randomly did an opk stick today tho which stops the urge to spend loads on tests and it's quite high but not positive and now I'm reading way too much into that 🤣 I've had a surge before AF before tho so telling myself it's that.

Randomly ordered a thermometer to start tracking temps instead, never done it before but my LH is so bloody crazy I figured I'd see what my temps do instead 🤣

Decided to try and get away for my next fertile window, looking at a log cabin for a week to just hide away 🙏

@xxcxdonxx happy new year! How are u getting on?

@Sez281 I no I'm covinced I'm heading towards menopause that's what rabbit hole I've been down on google lately. I'm 31 so I know it's too soon but if your body wants to then it wants to. My aps 31st so a bit away but I'm sure we will get to the bottom of things. Seriously this af is dreadful the pains the flow feels like a teenager af! Aww it's still early days you never no u could still get that bfp!! It's even more disheartening when you've done all you possibly could aswell.

@Westy22 sounds like a lovely idea I done that for my birthday it was lovely just horses roaming round outside in the middle of nowhere the stars where amazing pf a night!!

@SnookyPook how are you doing? Xx

Thanks for checking in ladies @Sez281 @Jadeypie . I'm actually super nervous. Had some spotting last night and right now waiting to go in for a scan. Feeling a bit faint and bleurgh. Should be 9+1 today.

What experience do you guys have with clear blue test evaps? I bought one before and threw it in my bag as I assumed it was negative, can't of been more than 5 mins that I waited. Just had a look in my bag and it's got a blue line and now I'm like is it an evap 👀 I have one more that I'll do tomorrow morning for clarity with fmu as this wasnt and I really don't feel like I can trust it tbh?

Thinking of you @SnookyPook 🤞🙏🌈 xxxx

Oh I hope it went ok @SnookyPook I don't blame you for being nervous. I've read stuff about a little spotting being quite normal so hopefully that is the case 🙏 xx

@Westy22 Ugh I hate Clearblue 😣 I had one the other day that I'll attach. I'm sure mine was an evap as have had stark white on cheapies since. Yours was only 5 mins though so hopefully it's a sign of something 🤞xx

@Jadeypie I really doubt it's early menopause, hopefully it's just some weird hormone thing that can be fixed. It's awful when it's so heavy and painful though 😔 xx

Ooh @Sez281 @Westy22 it’s hard not to get your hopes up with those. I don’t know too much about evap lines but as you say, the only thing to confirm is another test.

Thinking of you @SnookyPook

@Jadeypie that’s horrible for it it to be so painful. Hopefully your appointment at the end of the month can give you some answers.

Nothing to report from me, just gearing myself up to start the LH tests in a few days. It’s my little boys bday this month so I’ll have lots to keep me busy at least 😊

Thanks so much everyone! There is still a little bean in there with a good heartbeat 💕🙏🏼 Still measuring a week behind my dates but consistent with the previous scan (so I'm measuring 8weeks). They weren't worried at all - said consistent growth since last scan is promising and most likely I ovulated/implanted late which fits with that I thought. They couldn't find any obvious cause for the spotting - everything looked healthy around baby. I'd had an area of pain too but that wasn't near the baby and they didn't se bothered. They've prescribed progesterone pessaries which I'll start this evening.

I'm absolutely exhausted now. Think I was completely emotionally drained. But it's just sinking in that this pregnancy has now officially gone further than all 3 losses last year, including the gestation when the MMC stopped developing. So that feels like quite a milestone. Still a chunk of first trimester to go... Moreso now I've gone back a week, but I am feeling tentatively hopeful. They've booked me another scan in a couple of weeks, and then I guess it will be the 12wk one! This trimester is dragging somewhat but it's slowly beginning to feel a bit more real 🤞🏻

I was absolutely convinced it was going to be bad news today but have just remembered stopping to take this photo on my way to the hospital which did give me a glimmer of hope!

@SnookyPook delighted to see this update! I'm so glad all was OK and beans nice and snug. I think this will feel like the longest pregnancy for you because all the innocence has been robbed but just enjoy each day as it comes. Love that you took that picture a little sign from above for some reassurance xx

@Westy22 It could be a evap it could not be. I've seen lots of threads with tests that are evaps that unfortunately look like yours but then some that looks like yours and it is a bfp. It's just a constant mind fuck!! Am really hoping it's a bfp for you tho and @Sez281 I hope yours is too xx

@xxcxdonxx my little ones three next month I just dint no where the years have gone!! I hate those bloody ovulation sticks with vengeance hahaja xx

@Jadeypie thank you so much and yes your comment about the innocence being robbed is spot on. I think part of me is still in a bit of denial that I'm pregnant tbh!

@Westy22 @Sez281 I agree with jadey.... So hard to tell with those CBs!! Really hope they are positives though! Any plans for retesting/using another brand? Xx

So delighted to see this @SnookyPook and consistent growth since your last scan is very positive. The 12 week scan must seem so far away but it’s great that you have another before that for reassurance. You will be exhausted, all that worry and then the relief will have drained you. Hopefully you can relax tonight.

@SnookyPook over the moon to see your update! Hope you can savour the relief a while longer even though I know just how hard it is.
@Westy22 that could be a possible positive or an evap, I always preferred pink dye tests. If I were you I'd definitely be doing more tests (I was a poas addict...) - keep us updated in the morning!

Aww @SnookyPook that's amazing 🥹 Such a massive milestone. I'm not surprised you're shattered, the emotional toll it's taken must be immense. So glad they've given you progesterone too, it's a little bit more reassurance. Enjoy the rest now ☺️ xx

@xxcxdonxx @Jadeypie Aw that's lovely that you guys have DCs birthdays to keep you occupied. So nice to celebrate something after Christmas.

@Westy22 keep us updated with your test tomorrow. Hopefully fmu is clearer. I think I'm going to wait until Friday as I'll be 11DPO then (AF due Saturday as I've short LP) so I'll get a boots pink dye (keep getting evaps on the easy@homes 😒) Fingers crossed for you tomorrow 🤞 xx

Well patience isn't my strong point and I did one last night and it looked negative and interestingly no line came up after. Still not sure so maybe I'll try a different brand if AF doesn't show. First time I've used clear blue and I won't be going back 🤣 I can't believe how bad they are.

I'm 14dpo today and feel rough, was convinced AF would arrive first thing but nothing so far. I keep getting really weird pinches/electric shock feelings and I feel so tired 😫 reckon AF is going to be awful when it shows. I did an opk for fun today tho (as you do) and it's strong so I'm either getting a massive surge before AF or something is happening. I'm telling myself surely I would have a solid positive by now if I was pregnant so I dont feel I am.

I'm so so happy for you @SnookyPook I can imagine how mentally draining it is, but celebrate this milestone 🤞🌈

Hope your all okay xxx
