THE DINO CLUB #1

[Lila34830]

Follow up of the two following threads of TTC Baby number 1 🦕🦖

Thank you @Gemmaemilyx @KT199 dinos support is the best 🩷
I went back to my app and actually ovulated on 2nd December, cause I remember the ovulation pain all day on my right side ! I had my peak on 1/12 as well so would make sense.
So it means I'm only 8 dpo then .... hence why it potentially would be negative.
Plan is to test on Friday because I would then be 11 dpo. There wouldn't be any doubt if bfn. What do you think ?

@KT199 definitely try and stop testing, I can't imagine the anxiety, but because I've seen your lines and they are pretty strong I am confident that it wouldn't be a CP at all, you are past that point ! 🩷

@Gemmaemilyx so happy for your blazing positive ! This is such a reward after your CPs 🩷

@Lila34830 Yeah I think 11DPO is good to test at, but still some people don’t get their BFP until after period is late so try not to worry too much if it’s negative, still time.

@Gemmaemilyx My wondfo cheapies seem to be stuck at almost equal colour levels now. But it’s taken me a week to get there. I got a 2-3 weeks on a clear blue also which is reassuring. Glad you’re starting to get really strong positives now!

@KT199 oh that’s amazing!!! I think I will test with a digi in a few days! When I was pregnant with my daughter I found this chart on the clear blue website, I’m unsure if it’s still there but it’s a good indicator!!! Xxx

Morning ladies, how are you all ?
Dino mamas and regular dinos ?
did a clear blue ultra early, the one with the 2 lines if positive : I'm cursed, a faint line appeared ... horizontally 🤣🤣🤣 now on my way to work so will re test tomorrow .....

@Lila34830 oh that happened to me once! I realised it was the backing of the test coming through as I was looking too hard 🤣 I have found that my first morning wee tests are SO light compared to my evening (which is weird but I found some others on Google say the same) do you have any easy at homes to try tonight? 🥰🥰 xx

No I know there's a plastic line at the back 😂 this is like a blue line, quite clear, so it's just a defective test. And no I don't even have pre mom tests I really need to order some !! I will do now for next cycle as I think this one isn't mine ! I'm probably out.

@Lila34830 ooooh how weird! Deffo do one in the morning 🥰🥰 hopefully you won’t need to order any and this month if your month 🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏 for you xx

Omg there’s a thread on here where people have posted these tests, it’s more common than you think!! SO annoying it was defective!

Still got my fingers crossed for you tomorrow 🤞

Thank you girls 🩷 pre mom tests ordered for next cycle 😅

Yes, Clear Blues do seem to be rubbish, especially for early testing. They just seem to rely on brand recognition to keep them going I reckon. I'd stick to red dye tests...Good luck, what DPO are you now?

They truly are, it's annoying that they are the only early detection ones!
I am 9 dpo today (I think) x

I’ve had brown spotting today when wiping urgh 😔 trying to keep calm but easier said than done. I’ve had a little cramping too but nothing really painful. Feeling so anxious even though it could be normal and regardless it’s completely out of my control x

@KT199 oh no! Hopefully it’s just some old implantation blood if it’s brown!! Keep us updated and rest up 🩷🩷

Keep us updated @KT199 ! Sending you love, deep breath, brown blood is often nothing. Might be the egg burrying itself a little deeper xxx

@KT199 oh dear, you would think that the bfp is the end of the roller coaster, sadly it's not, i know from experience the anxiety doenst leave, but as terrifying as it is, there s absolutely nothing you can do about it. Stressing will only make it worse, only time will tell. I know for sure that brown spotting isn't always a bad sign, many women have healthy pregnancies after spotting, as long as it s not red, dont worry. Listen to your body and seek help maybe a scan will reassure you. Wishing it all works out for you.

@Lila34830 first LH tests and now hcg test trolling u 😆 im exited for you really, you are obviously still early on ur dpo, hopefully u get you bfp soon so u can go and creat the dino mum club already 🥰

@KT199 how are you doing now? Hopefully the brown blood is the last you’ll see of it 🤞🏼🩷 xxx

@Heartypandaa omg it doesn't even stop there. I had ONE test left yesterday, it was a clear blue digital ultra early, and guess what - THE BATTERY WAS DEAD 😂 it never lit up no matter how long I put it in urine.
This is it now, receiving my premom today thankfully but I feel like this month just isn't it 🤣

@KT199 I hope you're ok 🩶

Girl the universe is conspiring against you haha. Or maybe telling you to wait a little bit longer 😇

@Lila34830 oh wow you’ve had bad luck with tests this month 😂😂 it least there’s still hope as you’ve not been given an answer yet!!

@Heartypandaa Thank you doing my best to try not to get too caught up in it.

@Lila34830 @Gemmaemilyx thanks ladies, I haven’t had anymore but rang my GP and expected him to just be like “it’s normal stop worrying” instead I had to go in and he has referred me to EPU for a scan to check the location (even though I’ve tried to explain I’m too early for a scan) and he also gave me a mild heart attack as he made me do a pregnancy test and said it was negative. Brought it over to me and I was like I can see a line coming through, so he blamed the lighting when he just hadn’t left it long enough. I was looking for some reassurance and all he could say to me was “misscarriage is really common this early on” so my head is a little fried but what will be will be and only time will tell!

Oh my god I'm so sorry you had to deal with such an incompetent human being. This is absolutely unacceptable, but on the + side, you will have an early scan and be taken care of by people who actually know things about pregnancy. I noticed you said him, so I guess your GP is a man. I have recently asked to be taken care of by women only, just because of this type of uneducated / uninterested doctors who aren't bothered / not knowledgeable about women conditions.
Let us know how you get on. From what I read spotting is usually very normal at this stage, try and not panic too much 🩷 sending you love and support darling x

My darling dinos I’m so sorry….you have been so amazingly supportive and I just disappeared! Battling internal trauma and cannot believe it itis 😂😂😂

So I was in my TWW
then I was going out last Saturday so I thought I’d do a FRER as just felt a bit different….Got one of my tests below, told my gorgeous hubby straight away (but he was like you can’t tell anyone! So I didn’t 😂 — not sure he understands Dino club anyway) then I really freaked out and ended up going for 30 mins

then I went and bought 3 more tests
I’ve done 2 more
AF was due on Tuesday so it’s still early days
just done another one this morning
trying to wait 7 days late to do the clear blue weeks one

also been offered a new job (in my company!) so I was sat there in meetings all week worrying about that as it’s all a bit conflicted! I can see my boss texting me whilst writing this! So that’s my only thing but I’m 37, always prioritised my career and I can’t put it off any longer. We really want a family and this is so special!

I’am still a bit nervous that it might go away as it’s AF due week! So I’m going to lurk here for a bit longer whilst I process it! It is very much wanted and I am beyond excited just conflicted and also always worry things go wrong.

@Lila34830 you deserve this so much sis, you are the most supportive ever

@KT199 sooooooo pleased for you!!!!!!

sending every good vibe I have to you guys this week for the stickiness for them to stay 🩷🩷🩷🩷🩷

@KT199 oh no what an idiot! I had a scan for my daughter due to blood & cramping. I was 5w 2 days from LMP but actually only 4 weeks 5 days from ovulation. Went for my scan and deemed it as pregnancy with unknown location. They sent me for bloods and said to come back in a week for another scan.

the bloods came back with hcg and progesterone and they told me my hcg fits with the scan and it was only early days and my progesterone levels showed my progesterone was supporting the pregnancy well. I then went back 2 days later for repeats to ensure a double in hcg and then back for a scan where they saw a little baby.

So from my experience don’t panic if they don’t see anything I’m sure they will suggest bloods and get you to come back and the bloods really helped me relax 🥰🥰 good luck I hope all goes well!! Has the bleeding stopped? Xxx

@Toppstileslover OMGOMGOMG ! So happy to read this in between two work emails.
Couldn't be happier for you !!!
These are such strong lines ! How many dpo were you when you found out ?
Massive congratulations, the Dino club is getting smaller and smaller but the Dino mum club is getting bigger !
And thanks so much for your nice wishes, I'm sure it will be my turn at some point ! 🩷

@KT199 and I feel your pain with the comment. My GP asked me to ring her when I had another positive test so I did and she asked why I was ringing… because you told me to 🤣🤣 I went on to say my tests are getting darker and this didn’t happen with my CPs so I’m optimistic. Her reply was ‘yes but remember it’s still reeeeeallly early’ 🙄

sorry just seen your comment before of no more bleeding! That’s amazing news!! My friend had brown spotting about 5/6weeks and she’s now 14 weeks and all good!! Xx

@Toppstileslover AHHHH amazing news!!! Congratulations 🩷🩷🩷 so happy for you! Xxx

@Lila34830 did you test this morning ?! 👀 xx

My notifications arent working on here so I keep missing things but sounds like some exciting times for some of you dinos.

@Lila34830 got everything crossed for you this month, you’re not out until your period arrives don’t forget! Xx
