Thank you! 🥰 I am 29 DH is 30, we've been TTC since December. I did get pregnant end of March but sadly suffered a miscarriage in April. My second loss (also had a second trimester loss in 2018). This will hopefully be our 3rd baby 🥰

Thank you! Not really apart from very sore boobs, which I get before my period anyway.

@DownWithCremeEggscongrstulations! Amazing line for 8dpo xx

Aww congratulations @DownWithCremeEggs ✨✨

Hi everyone

Just joining as 1dpo today. We've been TTC #1 for around 10 months with a MC at the beginning of April.

Congratulations to all those with positives and hope to see more soon 🎉🤞

9dp today and so proud of myself for not testing yet. I am in Cyprus and only brought one FRER with me. If I am going to get a BFP I will normally get it at 10dpo so I am thinking of testing tomorrow or whether to leave it a few more days

@DownWithCremeEggs congratulations!! Such a clear line, already! A good omen ❤️
Welcome @Purplerocket sorry about your loss, is this your first cycle back trying again?

Congrats @DownWithCremeEggs !!

We’ve had our NHS fertility referral accepted now, just picked the clinic. Went for the most local. Just waiting to see when our appointment will be, don’t know if we get given one now even if it’s ages away, or if we have to wait for the appointment date 😬 just hoping we fall pregnant and it sticks before then but we’ll see

@Mummysparrowpersonally I would just enjoy your holiday and test when home x

Ladies really need some advice.
I am booked in with GP tomorrow for bloods taken days 1-4 of cycle.
I was due AF tues/wed just gone. I had some blood when I went to the toilet Tuesday morning so thought it was the start! But notthing for rest of the day. The same thing happened yesterday morning then had a couple of clotted bits when I wiped lastnight (TMI sorry) again nothing all day today until I have just gone to the toilet this evening. There is nothing in my knickers all day. So it's definitely not like a full flow? I don't know if this will be classed as AF or spotting?
I'm really worried about going in for the bloods tomorrow incase I'm testing on the wrong day. Then its the weekend so cant get them done then! Agh any advice.
Last month I had full flow from day one. The month before I had two days of spotting before full flow.

@ChaE05can you ring them in the morning and see what they say??

I need advice too - do I test tomorrow morning (10 dpo) or wait until Sunday (12 dpo) - argh! I can’t decide which will be more/less sad if it’s a BFN (which it prob will be!) - if you remember I think I missed my peak this month! (I’ve kept testing once/twice a day and it’s still low so I reckon I did miss it!) - period is due on the 18th

I did my usual and caved and tested today. 10dpo, AF due Sunday.

BFN. Feel so gutted, it really does get harder each time!

@Muddysocks1that's great! I really hope the wait isn't too long !! Fingers crossed. Atleast you're in the system. And yes, sticky bean before then! X

@FlyHighSky72if you can hold out till 12dpo then test hen otherwise test at 10dpo? I mean if its negative you can test again at 12dpo

DHs shoulder popped out this morning work today & after several unsuccesful attempts hospital have managed to pop it back in but its painful. They have suggested surgery now to get pins put in, and we can go private with his work insurance so wont have to wait too long. i know its extremely selfish of me but all i can think about is considering the amount of pain he is in atm we wont be able to DTD (fertile window starts tomorrow), he was meant to be away for work which is cancelled now as he cant do the 4hr drive and is off sick and it seems like we will never have a baby, let alone with the option of recommended shoulder surgery (will be atleast a while for recovery).

I feel so deflated and disappointed, weve waited to long to ttc no.2 i just feel like the world is against us, espesh as we missed peak days due to his footy injury last month, i just want to cry atm

@Muddysocks1heard loads of stories about referrals going through followed by a natural bfp!

@ChaE05hoping that AF comes in full flow now, im pretty sure those tests are done days 1-4 because you know you arent pregnant then, so if youre testing negative i think you will be ok?

Me too! I was feeling quite down the last few days but feeling more hopeful today 🤞🏻

Oh no @peanutForeverpoor DH and poor you xx

Oh @peanutForever that sucks for both of you. It’s fine to be sad and frustrated you might not be able to have sex at the right time. Totally validated in those feelings.

Haven’t been able to get a digital or a weeks one yet as on holiday and haven’t found any! got some more normal tests and still showing positive so hoping for the best 🤞🏻

@peanutForeveryou're feelings are so valid. I completely sympathise. We wait so long each month for our one chance! These things really do test us. We just want everything to line up perfectly to give ourselves the best chance. If it was me I'd be dosing him up on pain relief and I'd just hop on 😅😆 but I know I just couldn't let it go. I had norovirus a couple of months back and still made my partner have sex with me haha. He didn't catch it either thank god x

@ChaE05unfortunately DH wants a baby 'out of love' which is hard for me as im a planner. I wouldnt ever push too much to BD in this situation purely because history tells me its not a good idea with his shoulder 😂 but the weather here is nice so walking around the house in shorts when wfh whilst DS is at school might tempt him just the once.

It is so hard as i dont want to pressure him but i feel so disappointed that weve lost a month, possibly more depending on surgery. Ive told him eventually we will have to proactively BD to ttc but as its only cycle 2 but hes very laid back about it all! I dont even have any ovulation tests either so if we do end up doing it at all i dont even know if il have done it in the time frame. Its weird as i went through the same negative emotions as when i got my BFN last month, just sadness really!

And thank you @EmPeEf@FlyHighSky72i felt a lot better coming here for support as my feelings have felt validated

Did a test at 10DPO stark white of course - boo
