Morning all ☺️. Was waiting to join a thread until I was post ovulation. Currently 2dpo on our 3rd cycle TTC, first cycle we had an early miscarriage. I already have 2 DC and now we're trying for our last ☺️

Would love some company to help each other get through the next few days xx

@pcbrb I've only used the clearblue digital in the past which helped to conceive my 1st. I've not tried bbt as my 2nd wakes me up and has only recently started to sleep longer stretches without needing breastmilk so knew that the temps would be inaccurate. We tried smep to conceive my 2nd but kind of took the fun out of dtd, though it worked.
Good luck with the opks, got my fingers crossed for you 😍

@lockdownbabyx how are you? I'm already nauseous in the evenings and have no appetite, which is total opposite as I'm an absolute foodie usually. I didn't think I'd get nausea this quick.

@Tryingfor3rd I'm good thank you! I get mild nausea as soon as I get into bed at night time, which is odd haha. I never suffered with it with my other 2. Did you? Other than that I'm ok, sore boobs, the usual haha. Xx

Really sorry about the nausea. I didn't have it with my 2 either but this time I'm having really strong nausea in evening and just don't feel like eating in general. Literally just ate toast and butter for dinner today. I don't have sore boots funny enough, I had more nipple soreness during the early dpo days. Hope you manage to get some rest x

Hey all, had my bloods done this morning and my levels are 440. Obviously doesn't mean much until I have the next draw on Friday. But it's higher than i expecting! How are we all?

@Tryingfor3rd how is your nausea now? I've not had any since x

OP posts:
Tryingfor3rd · 20/11/2024 19:19

Hi @lockdownbabyx and everyone. How are you all doing? I'm still getting the evening nausea. It starts usually on my way home from work around 4ish and stays quite strong throughout the evening. Was able to eat dinner today though and had a bit more appetite than usual but I think that was more out of hunger. I've not had nausea this early with my other 2, really don't want it to worsen.

@lockdownbabyx that's great news about the hcg. I've never done bloods before during my previous pregnancies but self referred to my local maternity unit last night. Won't get an appt until 6 to 8 weeks though. I definitely think I ovulated late in my cycle based on cm so like with my 2nd I think I'll be early for my 12 week scan and be asked to do repeat. What's your LMP date? Mine is 11th Oct so was a long cycle. Let me know how Friday goes please xx

Tryingfor3rd · 20/11/2024 19:20

@lockdownbabyx sorry I meant I hadn't done bloods with GP before seeing the maternity unit. Obviously had bloods done during the pregnancy!

My hCG will be more telling tomorrow, il keep you updated. They've only offered me bloods because I've had a few miscarriages I believe. Hope the nausea settles for you soon! I had quite a bad lower back ache last night, worried me a little but it's gone now! Other than that I still have sore boobs and I'm hungry all the time 😂 xx

Hi @lockdownbabyx thinking of you as get your hcg results tmrw. I had tiny pinkish cm this morning but nothing else throughout the day. Really worried and spoke to epu. They advised that it's quite normal and to call them if it gets heavy or causes severe cramps but really freaked me out this morning. Hope your back is OK today x

Aw bless you it does make you worry doesn't it! Even when your told it totally normal, our brains think the worst. Has it stopped now?

I just took another test (because I have tons😂) and I took an LH strip too out of curiosity. Look how dark that ovulation strip is! Higher than I have ever got then when ovulating 😂

2dpo today, company welcome :)

Tryingfor3rd · 21/11/2024 21:19

@lockdownbabyx omg that is a dark lh strip! And the hcg strip also looks really good! I've ran out of pregnancy tests so ordered some more! 😂

No pinkish cm since the first one this morning so hoping it's nothing to worry about. Getting cramps here and there but they're not strong but nausea has calmed today. I'm trying not to think too much into it all and trusting that whatever will happen will be for the best reason. Even when it's easier said than done!

lockdownbabyx · 22/11/2024 11:28

@Tryingfor3rd glad the pink cm has stopped :). How are you feeling today?

I just got my bloods back, they have more than doubled which is good ☺️. I also have a scan booked for next Thursday xx

Tryingfor3rd · 22/11/2024 12:27

@lockdownbabyx that's fantastic news, I'm so pleased for you!! 🤗 I'm good thanks, nausea comes and goes but other than that I have no idea if little bean is OK. My pregnancy tests will be delivered tmrw so will have to wait until then to see if line has darkened more xx

lockdownbabyx · 28/11/2024 17:17

So.. had a scan today to rule out ectopic because of my history etc but they couldn't see much. I am only 5+2 so I was expecting this.

I'm concerned about my bloods though, as these were my levels last week l..

20th nov - 440 / 4+1 weeks
22nd nov - 1047 / 4+3 weeks

Today (6 days later) they were only 3021. If they were doubling every 48 hours they should have been over 8000. I'm being rescanned on the 9th dec but I've lost hope now 🥺

OP posts:
Tryingfor3rd · 28/11/2024 23:13

@lockdownbabyx I'm so sorry you're going through this. Will they repeat bloods or will you have to wait until the scan? I really hope all is ok. Sending you a big hug from here.

lockdownbabyx · 29/11/2024 08:23

@Tryingfor3rd no they're not even repeating my bloods, just got to wait for a scans.
They wanted to scan me next week but I'm on holiday, so got to wait until the 9th dec :(.
I took another test this morning and swear it's getting lighter. I'm not feeling positive 😔

Just started bleeding aswell. Knew it was coming. It's so unfair 😔

@lockdownbabyx oh no I'm so sorry! Would you be able to see someone from epu? Absolutely gutted to hear this. It's heartbreaking, do have someone supporting you at home today? X

Tryingfor3rd · 01/12/2024 12:23

@lockdownbabyx how are you? I hope you're ok.

lockdownbabyx · 01/12/2024 21:17

@Tryingfor3rd thank you for checking in ☺️.
I'm ok at the minute, I only had a tiny bit of bleeding/spotting when I said before and not had any since. And my pregnancy tests are dark again, so who knows what is going on. I'm still not confident everything is ok though x

OP posts:
Tryingfor3rd · 01/12/2024 21:36

@lockdownbabyx that's really good! Thank you for taking time to update me. I'm praying all is good with your little bean. When are you going on your holiday? Hope you manage to have a nice time x
