@SKLM @PandaLife Oh my good god, I don’t know what came over me I was mid pee this evening after work and just stopped, grabbed the wee pot I use, collected the pee and did a test and have a line, I am in shock!!!! It came up straight away, I’m only 11 maybe 12 dpo so strong enough for evening urine. Keep everything crossed this last little chance bean sticks

so happy for you!!! @DmcinT

DmcinT · 08/05/2026 07:34

@DmcinT I am so happy for you. And to think this was your last month of trying before having a break.. the universe was listening to you! Have you told your husband yet? You must be so happy congratulations xx

DmcinT · 08/05/2026 12:45

Aw I’m just so delighted, it’s deff by far the most relaxed I’ve been in a cycle since we started. I think I was just so looking forward to the break from thinking about it either way

yeah showed him this morning when I did the digital, just felt like he needed to see it in words 😅

now onto worrying about the next stage lol

PandaLife · 08/05/2026 13:11

@DmcinT yey!! Im so happy for you 🥰 congratulations! Xx

Lookingtogrowthefamily · 08/05/2026 14:03

I’m ok thank you, just trying to keep myself busy and wishing time would speed up a little 🙈 9 weeks today x

DmcinT · 08/05/2026 15:04

@PandaLife thanks, think I’m in a little shock still. Feel like I’d completely written it off tbh. How are u getting on, did u test since?

@Lookingtogrowthefamily will u or have u had an early scan yet or Any word on ur official 12 week one? These weeks are gona crawl by I just know

PandaLife · 08/05/2026 17:16

It’s so lovely that the group is filling with positives :)

@DmcinT I am very much on a heavy af. They’ve been really light since I had my coil removed, this is the first heavy one. I hope that it’s a sign that my lining has built back up to normal, especially with my last ovulation being so strongly symptomatic too. Fingers crossed I’ll be joining you soon 🤞🏼

DmcinT · 08/05/2026 17:54

@PandaLife nice to know things are getting back to the way they should be, fingers crossed for this cycle for u❤️

Lookingtogrowthefamily · 08/05/2026 20:01

I had an early scan on Monday after having a wobble with symptoms completely dropping 🤦🏻‍♀️ baby was fine and heart beat detected so it reassured me at the time.
I didn’t plan on having any early scans this time round as I know it doesn’t change the outcome but I’m glad I went. I had my booking appointment yesterday so just waiting for the NHS dating scan to come through now.

@PandaLifekeeping positive for you for this next cycle xx

SKLM · 08/05/2026 20:48

@PandaLife staying positive for you. I'm glad you think things are returning to how they should be :) when I stopped progesterone only contraception it took a while for things to feel normal again and my periods weren't what they were for about 6 months. I hope you are okay x

@Lookingtogrowthefamily I know how you feel - I am somewhere between 6-7 weeks, I would like to know if everything is okay too. I assume it is as I started feeling very sick a few days ago. I have an early scan booked in just over two weeks time aswell. I had one with my son at that time. I had my booking appointment a few days ago, quite early! My NHS scan is booked for when I will be about 13 weeks. Apparently the majority of pregnancies survive to term where a heartbeat is detected at 8 weeks. I hope you are well X

@DmcinT yep all the fun and fear starts now 😅i am feeling exhausted and finding looking after my toddler rather demanding.

DmcinT · 08/05/2026 23:34

@Lookingtogrowthefamily ah lovely to hear all was good at the scan❤️ I do find it settles the worry for a day or 2 and then u just think.. but everything still ok now.

I was looking up a private scan today for around 7-8 weeks, I might book it in a week or so. I’ve to ring my gp, they’ll be referring me for early scans too to check for multiples (previous triplet pregnancy) so should prob wait to see when that is. That was my first thought, what if it’s triplets again!!!!

@SKLM sorry if you’ve said before but what age is ur toddler? I think that’s gona be the hardest bit of being pregnant this time round

SKLM · 09/05/2026 09:19

@DmcinT 19 months, quite a challenge in the last week! How old is yours? x

OP posts:
DmcinT · 09/05/2026 11:35

@SKLM shes just turned 2, in fairness she’s so good but I already feel so guilty that I won’t have the same energy or might be sick etc.. for playing with her over the next few months. We’re so blessed and lucky thou as really want a sibling for her 🙏🏽🤞🏽 and was losing hope it would ever happen

Bubs94 · 12/05/2026 17:58

Hi ladies, sorry I’ve been MIA, I’ve been trying not to get too obsessed with every TTC and trying a more relaxed approach (just to protect my feelings for my next negative month to be honest). Peak day for me today so we shall see what happens. Hope you’re all okay

SKLM · 12/05/2026 19:22

@Bubs94 that looks like a really strong peak, wishing you all the best of luck this month ❤

OP posts:
Bubs94 · 12/05/2026 19:24

thank you @SKLM It’s my second highest peak I’ve ever caught. But not getting my hopes up for this month.
how are you doing?

SKLM · 12/05/2026 20:24

@Bubs94 bless you.. it has been a really long and frustrating journey for you so far. I know you are scared to be hopeful - I am sure everyone on this thread will be hopeful for you though 😊

Very nauseous, vomiting most days and not sleeping well. Waking sick in the night. I had severe nausea and vomiting in my last pregnancy and let's just say it's amazing what you brain can make you forget when you want another baby! Struggling, tbh, and I think i'm only 8 weeks. It's hard looking after my toddler too and I feel upset as I was enjoying him so much.

OP posts:
Bubs94 · 12/05/2026 21:52

@SKLM thank you. Well in about 12 days I’ll let you know😂🤞🏼

Ahh, no. That sounds like the worst. It’s crazy like you say how your brain makes you only remember the good parts of pregnancy. You know it’s brutal but you don’t remember the extent to it! I hope it eases for you soon! At least you know it’s all positive signs x

SKLM · Yesterday 07:38

How is everyone doing? 😊

Bubs94 · Yesterday 18:05
