I tested early on my two pregnancies before and had two successful pregnancies then I had an early miscarriage and a chemical miscarriage last year and I was trying my hardest not to test early because of the heartbreak I experienced from the last two times. I’ve been trying this month and hoping I get a positive next month but I don’t know how I am going to stop myself from testing early, I worry so much after having the miscarriages anyone else finding it hard not to test so early x

Ah I tested 8 dpo and knew it was gonna be negative basically wasting my own time and money 🙃If I’m not pregnant this month I am gonna skip next month because they way I ovulate I would end up giving birth around Christmas and I do not want that 😅Not being nosey but what do you mean by your daughter is particular? My 3 year old daughter is more than likely on the spectrum but not officially diagnosed. I’m good, think the good weather lifts the mood🙂how about you ? X

Just cracking on dusting the whole house and cleaning all the nooks with a toothbrush. As you do 😅

I can't decide if I think she is more adhd with aspects of autism or if she is just somewhere on the spectrum. I've had a feeling since she was about 2 and a bit also.
But I don't know what it is lately, she's just turned vile to everybody in the house.
This morning she had a whole thing because she wanted to be alone. In the livingroom. Where we live. 6yo, and me are totally over it, hubby always takes her side or then turns it on me which is so super helpful! 🙄

What makes you think your 3yo is too?

Laria19 · 28/02/2025 11:47

well my little was speech delayed and also had no focus,like she had so much energy it was crazy 😅She likes to squeeze things like toys and stuff sometimes but would never squeeze a person. She weeks sensations so that’s why she loves so much and has so much energy. Have you looked into occupational therapy? Maybe your little girl just doesn’t know how to process her emotions? Xx

Oh for sure she doesn't amongst many other issues she displays.
Have been thinking about therapy for her, but hubby is a bit of an old school thinker so need to work on teaching him it's not a bad thing first. Then I'll have to get over the language barrier where we live 😅
First thing first though, trying to get preggo 😂

Laria19 · 28/02/2025 13:41

No, therapy is great it can also help you both understand her more, No doubt that you both are great parents 😊Ah yes the pregnant thing and the struggle of waiting 😭

Laria19 · 01/03/2025 00:01

How's everything going for everybody else today?
Any sign of af or a bfp @Orangelover?

Laria19 · 01/03/2025 15:01

Orangelover · 02/03/2025 07:17

Nope no joy. Did one more test yesterday morning just to be sure as I had a day of drinking lined up Grin not a whiff of a line.

AF definitely on the way today, can feel my pains starting. And I also have a hangover Confused. Roll on the next go!

Laria19 · 02/03/2025 09:32

You may be out this month but next month will be a fresh month so you never know 😁🤞Oh not a hangover, lots of munch and relax in bed 😊

Laria19 · 02/03/2025 10:48

Ok that’s a positive girls 😭💜my period isn’t due for another day or so. I’m gonna wait a few more days to tell my husband as I didn’t have the best experience with the previous losses x

This is so exciting @Laria19!
Totally understand your hesitation though, I'm waiting for my period to not turn up before u admit to anything 🙈🙈
How far did you get with your early loss? If you don't mind me asking

@Orangelover bummer! But at least you had a day of drinking as some sort of semi silver lining. Even though I dont envy your hang over. What's your go to hangover meal?
Get the freezer ready for next month though! 🧪❄️😜😜

Laria19 · 02/03/2025 13:09

@LaTable i got just past five weeks before the early miscarriage so I don’t want to celebrate anything to soon yet. I get to have an early 6 week scan so please god I get to make it to that point 🙏When is your period due again x

OP posts:
LaTable · 02/03/2025 13:14

Wednesday! But I've had chemicals and mcs ranging from week 6-9 so I dont think I'll relax until I'm in my second trimester this time around 😅

Thank goodness for an early scan! It's such a relief seeing it as opposed to having having to hope all is well. I don't know how they managed years ago 🙈
At least the NHS is doing something right with the epus , unless you're going private?

Laria19 · 02/03/2025 13:16

Ah do your the same you wanna wait to celebrate 🎉 I’m from Ireland so when you have a miscarriage the hospital offer a early scan so it gives you a little relief x

OP posts:
LaTable · 02/03/2025 13:25

I'm living in france and have literally no idea how it works over here, its going to be one hecknof an adventure 🙈🙈

Massive congratulations xx

Laria19 · 02/03/2025 13:46

@LaTable Wow France where abouts? I’ve only been to France once. Bordeaux was amazing 🤩 maybe do some research and see how they deal with pregnancies in France, I know Ireland have similar healthcare policies to England.

OP posts:
Laria19 · 02/03/2025 13:47

@LucyLou0527 Thank you 😊 I couldn’t believe my eyes when I seen the line, the test said wait five minutes but the mine started showing up around 2 🙈🙈how are you today x

OP posts:
LaTable · 02/03/2025 13:57

Couple hours from bordeaux 🤣
It's not my favourite place. I'm more a fields and forest kinda girl and no people near me haha

@LucyLou0527 you're about 7dpo correct? Are you trying to hold out till af also? (Unlike us lot who all failed to 🙈)

curliegirlie · 02/03/2025 14:22
