Hey all, 4po tomorrow! Would love company to make the days go quicker 😁

Cycle 2 TTC after an early MC last month! DP works nights so trying this month wasn't great timing wise. We managed to BD 5 and 2 days before ovulation so I'm hoping it's enough.

Xx

Thanks so much @lockdownbabyx and @OverthinkingBrain

I just have to be patient and wait…. I feel like such a fraud?! I’ll keep you posted xx

AmberM223 · 17/10/2024 15:48

So today i have had really low down cramping, then had pinky blood when i wiped this morning 😭 nothing since but cramps still there. I’m 15DPO today and period would have been due today. I’m feeling really deflated after having positive tests all week, i don’t even know what to think

MyGardenDaisies · 17/10/2024 21:53

Oh @AmberM223 , hang in there ❤️ did you have a positive digital ?

AmberM223 · 18/10/2024 07:32

@MyGardenDaisies thank you so much! I’m trying so hard to stay positive but i just find it hard not to think the worst! I didn’t end up buying a digital and wish i had of now! I am going to buy one today so i can test i think it should say 2-3 weeks at this point!
I rang EPU who did offer me a scan, but i had one this early with my first and obvs there’s nothing but a sac and i found it really hard the 2 week wait for the next scan! So i opted to just wait it out a little and see what happens! She told me to test everyday for a week and make sure the lines get stronger / darker. I did this one this morning, but for the day after a missed period do we think this looks dark enough??

4dpo tomorrow! Anyone else? :)
Marie1990x · 18/10/2024 09:00

@AmberM223 so sorry you’re going through this, it’s such a anxious time. I believe a bit of bleeding and cramping can be normal though? 🤞🏻.
That line looks good to me. Do you have another to compare it to?

AF arrived for me this morning

AmberM223 · 18/10/2024 09:21

@Marie1990x i have this one from Wednesday eve but it’s a different brand.

Oh no! well i hope AF is over for you asap so you can start again and lots of baby dust xxx

4dpo tomorrow! Anyone else? :)
MyGardenDaisies · 18/10/2024 10:22

@AmberM223 your line looks spot on! Here’s my line progression with baby nr 1 from day 10 or 11. So day 15 was 03/07 and looks similar to yours xx

4dpo tomorrow! Anyone else? :)
AmberM223 · 18/10/2024 11:35

@MyGardenDaisies oh thanks so much for that! it really does help to look at others!
Just been to the loo and had some dark brown MC 🫣😭 Don’t know if that’s a bad sign…

I've been spotting since 6dpo and today's like day 16. I had dark brown originally for a good 6 days and then over the last 4 days its gone red, on a liner and pink when I wipe. Also got cramps. Took another test yesterday and the line was darker. I feel your pain and anxiousness.

MyGardenDaisies · 18/10/2024 11:38

@AmberM223 it could be implantation bleeding from the DPO and colours x

AmberM223 · 18/10/2024 11:42

@MyGardenDaisies im keeping everything crossed it’s that!! thank you so much for being so reassuring xx

@OverthinkingBrain Oh really! i’m 16DPO today! it’s absolutely awful isn’t it, i feel for you too. I’m so anxious i can not even think of anything else!! im just praying my tests carry on getting darker. I just keep fearing the worst 😢xxx

I've read online loads of people have spotting. I'm going give it a week as I was due on Wednesday, so I'm hoping it's just because my period is due. I actually know a girl who had normal periods up until she was 16 weeks pregnant and didn't have a clue she was expecting! I'm just holding on to the positives.

Sugarcube84 · 18/10/2024 11:57

I’m a day late according to prelim or due today by my dates and still testing negative. If nothing shows today tomorrow I’ll test again Sunday

Yeah I know the feeling!!

Marie1990x · 18/10/2024 18:30

@AmberM223 i think those lines are absolutely fine. But completely understand the anxiety of it all.

@Sugarcube84 sorry about af arriving 😔. Looks like we’re on the same countdown for next month along with @lockdownbabyx so at least we have company!

AmberM223 · 18/10/2024 18:35

@Marie1990x thank you, the lines are not concerning me as much as these pains and spotting, it seems to be getting much worse now since dinner today😭

MyGardenDaisies · 18/10/2024 18:54

I’m on CD5 now, so about to have that sweet spot of about 5 days of no period and also not feeling like we have to try.

I’ve tried to distract myself from TTC by being more productive in other areas of life and also just enjoying the stuff that pregnancy doesn’t allow, like a rare cocktail and raw fish 😄 on sushi.

JKDcot · 19/10/2024 19:16

@OverthinkingBrain and @lockdownbabyx hope you lovely ladies are both well. Just thought I should update I got my period earlier than expected today. I assume my weird “symptoms”
during this time was just a stomach bug. An odd one to feel nauseous on and off for 5 days, but still just a bug and totally not pregnancy related. Thank you both for your kindness and advice and DAMN those clear blue tests for their evaporation lines. I just let my heart go down a path and was wrong

Awh no I'm so sorry! Got everything crossed for you for next month 🤞 I stick to the cheap tests and clear blue digital. I don't trust them line ones at all. Good luck for next month x

How are you doing?

AmberM223 · 19/10/2024 20:51

@OverthinkingBrain im still having cramps, like they absolutely feel like the start of a period cramp! all in my back too. Still testing positive but no idea what to think, still spotting too.

EPU did offer a scan but i declined right now because you don’t see anything and it causes me anxiety in the 2 week wait for the next one, i asked for bloods but they said they no longer do just bloods without a scan… they said to ring back in a week if things are still the same 😔😔😔
