Anybody else in the same boat??

I'm 5dpo and I've had an ache on my right side through yesterday evening and all today
It's not painful but can't ignore it 🤣

Wondering if anyone has similar or is waiting like me 😊

@Hannah4850 ahhhh that's a GREAT line! How are you feeling? How far along are you now?

@GSD2024 let us know!! How far along would you be?

I think I am definitely pregnant (for now...) - I haven't taken any tests today, going to hold out and do a digi on Saturday - but my boobs have suddenly got MASSIVE, my husband was like 'wooooaaaahhh' and I'm feeling soooo sick today....

GSD2024 · 16/05/2024 10:01

@LoulouM12 congratulations lovely 💕 so I think I’m 4 + 4 today, but will go for a scan in a few weeks to find out. I don’t feel pregnant at all 😂

GSD2024 · 17/05/2024 06:58

Morning ladies, how are you all?

I didn’t get a digi yesterday, but did another cheapie and the line was still really faint so who knows! I’m going to stop testing until next week and will then just do one digi.

Hope everyone else is ok.

LoulouM12 · 17/05/2024 08:49

Hi all!

@GSD2024 you had a really strong line before tho right? Sorry to hear it's now faint. Maybe you just had diluted pee...?

I have never had a strong line, now had four days of v faint lines on FRERs and Easy@homes. This morning did a Clear Blue line test and it's barely visible. Did a digi yesterday which said 'not pregnant' but the realised it's not an 'early' one. So I'm defo thinking this is chemical for me and feeling really sad... AF due on Sunday and just kinda want it to hurry up now!

GSD2024 · 18/05/2024 09:12

Hi @LoulouM12 how are you today? I’m sorry to hear you think it’s a chemical, have you done anymore tests?

I haven’t, I have decided just to wait until next week.

@GSD2024
@LoulouM12
Heya ladies only just seen these messages, so sorry you are both feeling this way! 😔
But honestly it's a rollercoaster I had a CB digi Bfp then negatives all the next day then another cb digi Bfp so don't count yourselves out until af comes
The downside to early testing is we do end up catching chemicals that we don't couldn't even know about otherwise 😫
Sending love and got all my toes and fingers crossed for you both 💖

Hi @Hannah4850 your post is well timed! I’ve just caved and done another test, albeit without any hold etc. it’s still faint but no af and it’s still there. Just not sure what to make of it all.

how are you doing?

I also hope @JM1997 and @LoulouM12 are ok x

Haha I was going to ask if you tested again but didn't want to push it, I find personally from 7 miscarriages that when it's a very early one the test goes negative almost instantly because there's not much hcg anyways so the fact it's still there is good it could just be a slow grower and in a few days will be thriving 💖

Omg that's not so faint haha! Don't count yourself out for sure!!
Mine were like that 3 days after my af was due then 3 days later they're DARK 🤣💖

GSD2024 · 18/05/2024 20:13

Thanks @Hannah4850, it just seems to be lighter than before, I would have expected it to be a lot more visible, but maybe I need to try a different brand. I’ve not done any clear blue etc.

how are you feeling? X

GSD2024 · 18/05/2024 20:42

I’ve now had some brown spotting, so will keep an eye on it overnight 😔

LoulouM12 · 18/05/2024 23:23

Thanks for the check ins ladies. @GSD2024 crossing alllllll my fingers and toes for you... that line you just posted was honestly a really good one... keep us posted!!

I haven't tested since yesterday morning, I am too scared to! I had 3 days or so of v faint lines but definitely there so don't know what to think... AF was either due today or tomorrow and no sign yet... I might test tomorrow or Monday just because I fly to Mallorca Monday for work and really want to know what's what before I go!!

LoulouM12 · 18/05/2024 23:56

Also just got a pinky bit of spotting when wiping so reckon it's AF 😭😭😭

GSD2024 · 19/05/2024 07:26

Morning, @Hannah4850 thank you. I had some pink blood last night when I wiped and a tiny bit this morning too. I’m 5 weeks today, I’m pretty sure I will start to bleed soon.

@LoulouM12 im sorry to hear that you think af is coming, how are you feeling?

LoulouM12 · 19/05/2024 08:18

Hi I'm so sorry to hear @GSD2024 ... keep us posted... how are you feeling?

I'm 4 weeks today. No more sign of any bleeding, but barely visible line on test again this morning - 5 days of that now, today's line fainter than Fridays... plus BBT dropped down below the cover line today, so likewise anticipating bleeding to start today or tomorrow...

Feeling pretty sad to know I did conceive and it hasn't stuck. Just want AF to hurry up now so I can start tracking the next cycle!

Weirdly my LH test was quite high this morning... I can't be about to ovulate again til I've bled right?!??

Hannah4850 · 19/05/2024 10:02

Morning ladies! I'm so sorry to read these 😔
How are yous feeling?? Has anything progressed??
I'm a little panicked today I've had sharp pains yesterday and today I've work up with quite constant sharp pains on my right side I'm thinking ovary area, it's not immense but enough to hurt 😫 💖

GSD2024 · 19/05/2024 11:42

Hi @Hannah4850 and @LoulouM12

Hannah, can you call the EPU or are you still too early? Are you ok?

I’ve had more blood so pretty sure I’ve had a chemical miscarriage. I’ve put a pad on and will just see now but it’s more red and thick. 😢

@LoulouM12 how are you holding up hun? X

LoulouM12 · 19/05/2024 12:24

Hi girls, poor you @Hannah4850 - are you ok? If you can't call EPU and you're worried call 111 and if you need an urgent appointment they're usually pretty good... have the pains eased since you msged?

I have also started properly bleeding. Period is only a day late or so (depending which app I believe) but I'm feeling unbelievably sad, and very tearful, so stupid! I know it's probably just the hormone crash....

@GSD2024 how are you feeling? I'm so sorry to hear you're having the same, hope you're holding up, sending huge hugs... are you with friends and family today?

GSD2024 · 19/05/2024 13:31

Hi @LoulouM12 thank you for checking in. It’s not silly AT ALL how you are feeling. It’s so natural.

I’m with my family but tbh I just want to be on my own as I’ve got no time to think or process if, just putting a brave face on.

I’m properly bleeding now, will do a test Tuesday as I would expect it to have gone by then and should be negative 😔

GSD2024 · 19/05/2024 20:23

Hi @LoulouM12 and @Hannah4850 how are you both?

I’ve not stopped all day! I’ve just had a hot shower and am in bed chilling. I’ve been bleeding all day, but it seems to be stopping which is odd. It’s been heavy-ish and definitely red, but I would have thought with a miscarriage it would have been a lot heavier and lasted for longer than a day? I am pretty sure the pregnancy has gone though.

I hope you’re both doing ok. Xx

Hiya lovely!
How strange, maybe it's af slowly coming or maybe it's just a blip?? I don't know what it could be
I'm okay I've had a busy day but the aches and pains only seem to be when I'm standing so I think it's just the insides stretching etc
I did another digi and it's now 3+ weeks so I know it's progressing as it should I think 🤞🏻💖

Hi @Hannah4850 I’m still bleeding so haven’t tested. I’m counting this as CD2, I know I was still so early but I still feel quite sad! how are you? X

Hannah4850 · 20/05/2024 14:18
