Hope it’s not too early to start this! For anyone trying in May, and “out” for April.

By some miracle I did fall pregnant this month after over a year TTC but it ended in a chemical just before 5 weeks. I’d tried some new things last cycle (inc baby aspirin and L’arginine, using preseed and doing a daily morning walk!) so going to try all of that again this month and keep my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 don’t know when I’ll ovulate yet but I imagine it’ll be right at the end of April…

Hi again everyone, still in Spain, but pink discharge is no longer. Only lasted a day. Nausea back in full swing, mood swings are awful the last couple of days. seems that every night my nausea kicks in at 5:30. Like clockwork, so crazy. Had a mocktail earlier, Berry Smash and was full of cranberries and raspberries etc, it was sour and really strong. As soon as the clock hit 5:30, I felt as though I needed to go sick, ran upstairs of a posh club in Marbella and went sick everywhere!!!!! No word of a lie, a cranberry shot out of my nose. Amongst all of the affluent people with their Louis Vuitton bags and Balenciaga trainers, I looked like an absolute lemon. 🤣🤣🤣

Oh my goodness, that’s nuts! And surely a good sign?!? Even though it’s horrible. How many soo are you now? In keeping everything crossed for you. It sounds promising 🙏🙏🙏🙏

ttcjourney20001 · 03/05/2025 20:46

It’s a good sign to me, I’m feeling grateful to be going sick and everything, but still shite spewing your guts up every night. I’m 5wks 2-3 days today. Midwife appt on the 28/5 if everything goes well

SureLook · 03/05/2025 21:28

@FlyHighSky72 thanks! Ah fantastic, nearly there. A bit of reassurance for you. Mine are getting darker and I have EWCM.

@ttcjourney20001 oh you poor thing! Sounds like you're a bit reassured even though it's crap to be getting sick.

FlyHighSky72 · 03/05/2025 21:38

Good news @SureLook!

oh no @ttcjourney20001sounds horrid but good horrid if you know what I mean - keep us up to date, maybe it’s twins!!

Bas27 · 03/05/2025 21:52

@ttcjourney20001 this will be a funny story to tell later! Hopefully to your January baby! I would definately be reassured by that - although I have had HG in both of my pregnancies so know how you feel with the sickness. It sucks, even if it’s strangely calming!

YKM2829 · 03/05/2025 22:11

Sooo. Started bleeding Thursday, and today its stopped and its been a very light period could tell with the pad I wore at work the first 2 days and I've only had in like the small light tampons (the yellow aldi ones if anyone knows 😅), last night and today. Changed them hourly as that's my usual routine with a normal period but defiantly didn't need to at all. However didn't actually need to. And the bleeding has stopped for a few hours now today I've been without anything in at all just good knickers just incase but nothing since about maybe 3 this afternoon.

Part of me is thinking is this implantation bleeding. It was significantly lighter than my usual period, but not just a few little drops. But then the ectopic I had in January was similar implantion to this however I was in signicant pain continuously as well with that, whereas I only had cramps the first day. Ive been fine since, again not like a usual period either....

But then the skeptic in me is also saying it could just be a light month 🤷🏽‍♀️😩.....

Sorry longwinded, I'm a gabber 😅

YKM2829 · 03/05/2025 22:12

Oh but I did do a test earlier today and it was negative, however is it possible it wouldn't show up until maybe tomorrow as maybe now the bleeding has stopped, it's implanted now, maybe?? I dunno am I clutching at straws cos that's what it sounds like to me hahaha 😅😅🤣🤣🤣

SureLook · 03/05/2025 23:11

@YKM2829 how many dpo are you now? What have your periods been like since your ectopic? Mine have been shorter since my MMC. It could be implantation bleeding also. Its so hard to know. Generally, it says it takes a couple of days to get a BFP after implantation bleeding but I got my BFPs on the same day as my implantation bleeding so everyone is different!

FigPig · 04/05/2025 06:58

Oh I’m so glad @FlyHighSky72! Knew you’d get there.

Positive again today and on a digital on 9dpo. Posting in case anyone finds my lines or experience useful - literally no symptoms at all until I tested positive. All the other months, I’d be looking for cramps, twinges, exhaustion etc. My boobs are now pretty sore but they always are before a period so I wouldn’t have counted it had I not got a positive. I do now have a funny taste in my mouth and feel a bit spacey.

At 8dpo my lines were faint but clear to the eye - less clear on a photo. The CB early response was the weakest. FRER was instant but faint. Premom the same.

Anyway I’ll stop rambling!

Just to add, the quality of those images has really gone down since uploading but very clear on my phone and in real life!

SureLook · 04/05/2025 07:34

@FigPig amazing! You're not rambling. We want all the information 😂 delighted for you x

FlyHighSky72 · 04/05/2025 07:55

Amazing @FigPigcongrats!!! Which test would you recommend?

FigPig · 04/05/2025 08:09

Thank you so much! I am trying not to get too excited but it’s basically impossible.

@FlyHighSky72 I think I’d recommend Premom because they’re cheap and sensitive! I saw a line and then confirmed with the FRER and a CB. Testing with so many varieties is obviously overkill but I just didn’t believe it and somehow seeing lines on about four different tests made it more real 😂

Now I’m tempted to try the Premom test at 9dpo , since I got the preg tests with the ovulation strips… been trying to hold off 😂

New Year’s Day, what a birthday to have. My birthday was on April 9th, got lucky with the other half, 2 weeks later, BFP. Another story to tell the little one 🤣🤣🙈

Hi ladies ❤️

Hope your all ok ❤️

@ttcjourney20001 I had some bleeding with my first and everything was fine, she is 6 now. It’s normal to get some bleeding so please try to enjoy your holiday. I’m sorry but I did laugh at your story in the toilets in Marbella 🤣

@FigPig congratulations lovely 🥰

This cycle we only managed to BD 4 days before ovulation and peak day. Wanted to BD last night and other half had bad stomach and we tried this morning as DD at my Mums and he couldn’t finish 😳😩 this never happens. Think it’s the pressure 😩

Im worried I’m out already!

It was very humbling to say the least, was amongst Ferraris and rolls Royce’s parked at the marina, then there was me choking on raspberries in the toilet🤣🤣💀
