@DonnaWhat thanks for checking in. I’m doing ok thank you. Pregnancy after loss is so tough anxiety wise. I am very grateful though but every hour I am full of anxiety. I’m testing daily (bad I know) and they are getting darker and feel my symptoms are progressing too.

I hope everyone is doing ok. xx

I was like that with my twins and the first scan reassured me and I stopped. Totally normal after loss

Hi guys, sorry I've been pretty absent again!

Hubby and I gave it a good shot and DTD lots around right time at beginning of this month, though I wondered if I even O'd... I didn't do OPKs to take the stress off but hardly had any EECM etc.

Anyway period arrived as expected/predicted by Flo last Weds. I had done a hCG the day before (11DPO I guessed) and it was BFN. Anyway AF was different- woke up that morning to blood soaked PJs and a fairly heavy normal for me flow that day, next day a bit lighter, day 3 was v light and day 4 just spotting. Historically my periods have been 5 days (though have been more like 4 in a few recent cycles).
Since last Weds I have felt really nauseous. Put it down to maybe having a mild case of some bug but Haven't been sick. No diarrhoea. It's now day 5- felt sick all night, woke up feeling sick still.
I'm now CD12, pukey feeling started on CD8. Felt a bit groin-achy last 24 hours but super mild. Telling myself it's all in my head and can't possibly by PG because heavy bleeding- way way too much for implantation but then also can't help but read the "I had a full on period but was pregnant" stories. Don't have any tests but hubby and I think I'll pee on a cheapie just for sanity's sake to rule it out... so I'll have to do a surreptitious sneak to Tesco (we have guests this weekend!) today.
I'm telling myself I'm absolutely definitely getting a negative but can't help but hope . It plays with your head and emotions so much doesn't it?! My rational brain tells me it's far more likely some perimenopausal symptom of haywire hormones!

Very long rambling essay so thanks for sticking with it!

@RaisingCornishWildlings I'm thinking of you today. This is such a horrible journey to be on but you aren't alone xxx

@DonnaWhat im not sure. I’m going to wait until 6 weeks to complete the self referral as last time I had to cancel it all. I don’t think they’ll see me sooner. I hope I can book an early scan but it’s difficult as not sure on my dates. Thinking of booking one at 8/9 weeks if I can wait that long. Then if I am a week behind I’ll be 7/8 weeks so hopefully still able to see baby xx

Was going to add, don't go so early that you can't see anything but I've every hope that you'll be updating in 8 months with your good news

@RaisingCornishWildlings aw fingers crossed for you! You really never know, these things do happen to people! Keep us updated.

@Ella31 glad to hear your opks have darkened! What cd are you on? I'm on CD4 so I've got a while off for ovulation given last month it was CD20🙈

🤣 I was also every day sometimes twice 🤣

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 11:57

@Ella31 waheey!! Great news 🤩 we'll be roughly together in the TWW!

Ladyinpink1 · 28/04/2024 17:00

Hello ladies 👋! Wondering if I can join please? I see a few familiar names.

I am on cycle 9 ttc since a loss in August, it has never taken this long before so I have been a little obsessed with tracking bbt, opks and apps so I'm supposed to be doing a relaxed non tracking cycle this month but I have sneaked a few opks the past few days 😂 I am on cd11, been having a positive opk mostly on cd12 so hoping tomorrow to get it (then my plan is to stop testing... probably) x

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 17:03

@Ladyinpink1 hey! Nice to see you here 🥰 haha I know, I wasn't testing this month but did today randomly? Which of course tells me nothing....

Ladyinpink1 · 28/04/2024 17:14

@ThelastRolo20 hi! 🙂 I hope you had a lovely holiday and are back with a nice relaxed egg, i'm glad I'm not the only one cheating, let's just pretend it never happened.
Would ovulation normally be soonish? x

RaisingCornishWildlings · 28/04/2024 17:17

It was a BFN as I guessed. I just wish I knew why I was feeling so gross!!

I had a lot of slightly yellow creamy but stretchy CM today- I'm about a week of predicted OV so will just go with it this cycle and hope for the best!

Hoping at least someone in here has some good news soon! X

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 17:26

@Ladyinpink1 it's a bit hard to say, normally I'm CD 15 ovulation when tracked but that's been on a 28 day cycle. Last couple cycles have been 26 when taking coQ10 so don't know if I'm ovulating a day or two early, or a shorter luteal phase. But EWCM has gone a bit so I reckon early ovulation of yesterday or today, as opposed to tomorrow.

Basically, I don't know what I'm doing 😂😂

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 17:35

@RaisingCornishWildlings ah sorry about the BFN, sounds like you definitely have some weird symptoms but fingers crossed this cycle does it 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ladyinpink1 · 28/04/2024 18:06

I'm really sorry about your bfn @RaisingCornishWildlings I read your previous comment, that must of been a complete head melt having all of those symptoms and a weird period too, hoping you are ok and you don't have long to wait until ovulation x

@ThelastRolo20 what cd are you on now then? That makes sense to me lol. Ooh really, my cycles are now 26 days (positive opk on cd 12 so ov cd 13) but they were previously 28 day cycles and I take coq10 now! Never realised there was a correlation, just thought it was shorter cycles with age lol x

ThelastRolo20 · 28/04/2024 18:35

@Ladyinpink1 I'm CD15, and counting tomorrow as 1DPO, yeah I've heard some theories that for some people it's brought ovulation forwards a day or two but who knows!

I had weirdly stretchy cm at cd8 which is usually around a week before ov for me.
more convincing EWCM today which is a few days behind the usual.
good luck this cycle!

Welcome. Sorry about your loss. Hopefully this is your month. Fair play to you for trying to resist opks. I've a shelf full of them

OP posts:
Ladyinpink1 · 29/04/2024 07:53

I'm happy to have an earlier ovulation as it means a shorter cycle and so less time to wait until the next cycle each month 🙂 @ThelastRolo20 Did you feel more relaxed not tracking and after the break? x

Thank you for the welcome @Ella31 and lol at the shelf full of them, that's my problem too, I was well stocked up so felt it would be rude not to use them. Where are you in your cycle now? I got my peak opk this morning cd12 so ovulation should be tomorrow... so I will try to stop testing now 😇 x

ThelastRolo20 · 29/04/2024 09:59

@Ladyinpink1 hmm I think so? For some reason I'm already counting myself out as I don't know when or if I got a surge. Considering myself 1DPO today though so I guess time will tell. If no luck this month I'll go back to tracking next month.

Exciting you got your peak! You'll only be a few days behind me, although for all I know I haven't ovulated 😂

I'd say you missed your surge @ThelastRolo20 I'd go with 1dpo
