And others!

Hi, I have been following this thread to keep me distracted during the tww but haven’t posted yet. Wishing you all lots of baby dust!! I have had two miscarriages in the last seven months, one at 11 weeks and one at 6 weeks. We are ttc again. I have no idea what DPO I am as all OPKs have been negative. Took this test, I feel like I can see a faint vertical line but convinced it’s an indent line? I took the photo 3mins after taking the test. Any thoughts? I have some cramping this evening so feeling very hopeless right now :(

@H2689 hey there, I hope you are okay this hot evening. I can see a vertical line, it is faint but it's the same width as the control line whereas evaporation lines and so on seem to be very thin. I'm really sorry to hear about what you have been through and I hope this month works out for you x

@SKLM i keep reading of so many women getting negatives at 12/13dpo then positives after that. But anyway, like I always say to myself…no point getting my hopes up

What does this mean? Pains in my ovaries/uterus, like spotting but only when I wipe, still no period😭

@Bubs94 hey there. Have you tested again today?

Any chance you ovulated a bit later?

Any updates @Bubs94 ? X

@SKLM @PandaLife hey ladies! Cycle day 4 today unfortunately. Took 2 days into my cycle for my temp to actually drop but the weather probably played a part in that. Gutted but it is what it is. We should be exchanging and completing on our new house in a few weeks time so just focusing on that. I won’t be tracking this cycle either x

@SKLM @PandaLife unfortunately I found out today that baby stopped developing. Waiting to start bleeding, feel totally devastated 💔 I was so hopeful this was it

@DmcinT I’m so sorry to hear this. Thinking of you. Take care of yourself xxx

@Bubs94 also sorry to hear this isn’t your month. It’s so frustrating when our bodies give us all the right signals .. but they turn out to be false. I hope the house move goes well. I know that in itself is stressful, but I hope it gives you some mental breathing space away from TTC x

Aw @DmcinT im so sorry! Take time and be kind to yourself xx

@Bubs94 @PandaLife thanks so much, hard just waiting for it to happen now💔

@DmcinT i'm so sorry, what a horrible thing for you to have to go through ❤all my thoughts are with you. I hope you can take a bit of time away from work for yourself to heal xx

Hi ladies! How’s everyone getting on?

@Bubs94 hey there. 11 weeks 5 days according to my dating scan yesterday. Everything looked okay just waiting for the anomaly bloods to come back which is a bit nerve wracking. Still feeling very sick and being sick most days which is draining.

How are you? How is this cycle going?

@SKLM oh amazing! That’s gone quick!
always nerving waiting for anything like that, but I’m sure everything is all fine!
hopefully the sickness subsides for you.
all good, hoping to move in the next few weeks so focusing on that. Been chilled this cycle, still waiting to ovulate so yeah, nothing to report😂

Hey girls, I was thinking of you and was planning on popping a message on here.

@SKLM I can’t believe you’re almost 12 weeks already. How quickly has time gone. Although, I imagine with your sickness, you’re probably feeling like it’s dragging 🙈 I hope that begins to subside for you soon.

@Bubs94 I’m pretty much the same as you. I finished my period a few days ago, so I’m at the start of a new cycle. Just taking it one month at a time .. xx

@SKLM @Bubs94 @PandaLife hey girls. Wow I can’t believe ur at the 12 week mark already, lovely little milestone to be at ❤️

the distraction of having things on and being busy is great. I’ve been tracking opks the last few days and think I got peak on Wednesday CD12 (since start of miscarriage) but continuing to monitor as I know it can be a bit all over the place after that. We only dtd Wednesday night thou so if I ovulated Thursday I don’t know if that gives us much of a chance 🤞🏽
I kinda can’t believe I’m back to ttc, it’s one of the things I was just so delighted about when we got our BFP in April (never having to ttc again). It’s such a hard journey to be on and the trying to pretend all is well and normal when all u can think about is ovulation, CM, opks, how many dpo u are, symptoms, doing tests etc and then the disappointment each month, it’s exhausting 😞
sorry I didn’t mean to go down that path with this comment 😅🫣

@DmcinT your feelings are totally valid. I know none of us know each other on this thread, but it has been a great support to me and I was thinking of you and wondering how you were getting on. TTC must feel bitter sweet for you now and I can imagine going back to all the tracking feels really hard. I really hope you are successful this month and it sticks but if not I'll keep quietly holding some hope for you x

Hi ladies, hope you’re all okay.
@DmcinT totally understand how you’re feeling, I think that’s why this cycle I have just taken a massive step back, been really stressed with work and everything house, so much so that I don’t think I have ovulated this month, either that or I’ve missed it but also we have hard dtd too. I just haven’t had the energy or umph to want to. I don’t even think I’m going to buy tests to test early, just going to wait for my period as I already know I wouldn’t have conceived this cycle x

Cycle day 28…said in my app from my predicted ovulation day that I’m 11dpo but didn’t catch ovulation, until today, LH strip has gone up to 1.45 which is the highest it’s ever gone too so I’m guessing I’m ovulating 11 days late. I’m still getting over a virus and moving a week on Tuesday so I’m not surprised

@Bubs94 sounds like you have been under strain physically and mentally. Moving house causes the most insidious stress, it can really build up. Is it this Tuesday you are moving? Good luck with it I hope it goes as smoothly as it can (in the heat!!).

How is everyone doing?

I'm not having a great pregnancy so far, still feeling very sick, being sick most days and getting a lot of stomach pain like indigestion from 3pm every day without fail. Very uncomfortable. I am grateful though.. all okay at the dating scan, and low risk on the abnormality blood tests. I'd just love to be a bit more comfortable soon.

@DmcinTits so exhausting mentally and physically, you end up counting your life away. Sending you lots of positivity.

@Bubs94house moving is soul destroying- it’s all worth it when it’s done but the doing it but is so stressful!!

@SKLMthat’s grim that you’ve been so sick- have you asked the doctors for anything? I’m 11 weeks next Friday and I’ve been pretty nauseous but my doc gave me Cariban a few weeks ago (think it’s called Xonvea in uk?). I thought it wasn’t doing much as still had a pretty constant level of nausea so I stopped taking it and was bed ridden with the nausea within a day! So I restarted and it has defo made a big difference- I’m still feeling a bit sorry for myself but not bed ridden anymore. I had my NIPT last week so should have the results in a few days which is all a bit stressful so I’m looking forward to getting those back and hopefully starting to feel a bit more human in the next few weeks!

Finally the week is here when I'm going to remove my patch! I spoke to my doctor who advised me to keep taking my antidepressants but go on a lower dose.

I'll be removing my patch tomorrow night and start opk testing straight away to see my levels and DTD EVERY SINGLE DAY even though it is bloody hot in England 🥵🤣 ❤️

Good luck everyone ✨️

@leanbhnua good luck with your blood test results 🤗
