Do you see what I see?

[DoraBella88]

5 days late, had slight blood the day after I was due when wiping then spend last night in tears as had some brown when I wiped.

woke up this morning and decided to test again as no actual period yet.

i did 3 tests 🙈 husband can see them too but says we should just stay calm and relax 😂 we’ve been ttc for over 10yrs so we’re both extremely cautious

I know it’s tempting, but put your pennies to one side for a few days! Have you got nice things planned for the weekend to help distract you a little bit?

Congratulations!

After many years on MN in the ttc community, I would just warn you that the weeks indicators aren't very accurate and lots of women have worried unnecessarily about the weeks indicators not going up.

If you possibly possibly can... step away from the sticks!

Also... Pregnacare is definitely puke making! Seven Seas pregnancy vitamins were better for me.

I’m working today, the football tonight then de-cluttering the house tomorrow. So nothing exciting lol.

thank you I will try and stop as it’s causing me more stress 🙈

@Tadpole10
thank you, that’s good to know. I’m going to try and step away from the tests completely then. I don’t want to cause unnecessary worry and stress.

I am a massive baby with taking tablets and as soon as I saw the size of the pregnacare I knew I wouldn’t be able to swollen them 🙈

so I’m actually taking chewy ones. Has all the same stuff in it as the others but I can chew them without gagging.

I agree with @Tadpole10 - these weeks indicators are not 100% accurate so don’t worry if you don’t get the results you were expecting, it doesn’t mean anything is wrong 😊

Good luck to you all in England tonight!

I didn’t know that so appreciate you telling me that as I would of done it and freaked out if it hadn’t changed 🙈

thank you. Let’s hope they sort themselves out. They’ve not exactly done that well so far 🙈⚽️

I would stop testing all together. You are definitely pregnant so now it's about eating healthy, taking vitamins and staying relaxed. 😊 take it day by day and hope for the best.

I think that’s what I’m going to try and do now.

thank you. I eat a healthy diet and take my vitamins, it’s just the relaxing part I’m struggling with 🙈😂 I think after more than 10yrs finally getting here it’s hard to completely relax 🤪

This is amazing news @DoraBella88 - wishing you all the best ❤️

Perhaps you could try some YouTube pregnancy yoga or meditation videos. I found them very relaxing and took my mind off worrying about things.

@Olika
that’s a good idea. I will look in to it when I get home tonight

Firstly - chewable vitamins!? I think you may have just put me onto something! The Pregnacare ones are huge though, and I'm really not a fan of tablets at the best of times 😖

Secondly - don't let progression lines get into your head. Mine didn't start to look 'dark' until about a week or so after getting a positive and with my first baby, I didn't test positive at all until a week after my period was due! You're doing great 😊

@2BabyOrNot2Baby I know. As soon as I saw the chewable ones I knew they were the ones for me. I have an awful gag reflex at the best of times 🙈😂 they’re Bassett vitamins during pregnancy. Apparently strawberry and orange flavour but not like eating sweets. But a lot better than the massive pills so I’m sticking with them lol.

yes I think im going to step away from the tests and just go with the flow now

Hi OP - how have things been this week?

I lost the baby 😢 I started bleeding on Monday and miscarried on Tuesday. So it’s all a bit shit 😢

I'm so sorry OP. Look after yourself.

Oh Dora, I’m so, so sorry. You have my deepest sympathies

Thank you. I’m just so heartbroken. I literally have no words as seeing my husbands heart break has just been so devastating. I just thought we’d finally get our dream and it just wasn’t to be xx

I’m so sorry - I know nothing anyone says helps - but sending you loads of sympathy x

I was just reading through this thread and then saw your update. I said "no no no no no" out loud. I'm so very sorry OP. So sorry

Thank you. My heart is so broken right now

I'm so sorry OP. Life can be very unfair.

It will be Dora, and there’s nothing anyone can say at this time to mend it sadly, I just wish there was x

Thank you. Honestly my heart is so broken. But we’re trying to look at the positives. Woke up Monday morning and felt something was wrong, as odd as that sounds. I went in to work and luckily work with a small team, although they didn’t expect me to come from the toilet hysterical. And I’m fed up of people saying “at least you can get pregnant”. That’s not helping right now 😢
