Hey ladies,
An update for you! Things just didn't feel right when I ovulated in feb and I didn't have a good feeling about it but then last Saturday 9dpo I had just a few spots of bleeding and that made me wonder, so I looked on the internet and 9 days is the average for implantation bleeding. So I did a test the next day and got a very very faint positive. I waited and then tested again on Tuesday and it was strong positive on both a clearblue digital and a first response. I decided to try and not think about it because I was still 4 days away from my period due date and know the risks of testing early. Then on Wednesday I was travelling back from Chester and was hit by another car in the fast lane of the M56!!!! I had an ambulance for whiplash and I was also being sick and had abdominal pains but I think that was just the shock. The paramedics said they would take me to hospital but because I was only 3 1/2 weeks at that point, there was absolutely nothing they could do if I was going to lose the pregnancy. So I chose just to go home. So I've been signed off sick for 1 week with whiplash injury and the abdominal pains have stopped and everything feels normal again, I think I was just stressed, I have had no bleeding at all and I was also due my period yesterday, which I didn't get! So I did another test and still got a positive.
I think the fact that I was so early and didn't even have an embryo yet was very very lucky as implantation had happened only 5 days before the accident. I also drive a mitsubish shogun warrior, which is a massive 4x4 and was hit only by a corsa, which was a total write off! Thank god for big safe cars, even the police were blown away at how well my car stood up to the impact.
So I feel very thankful that I am safe and so is my pregnancy. I am booked in for HCGs on Monday and Thursday this week with the doctor and have a scan booked for late March as I am going on holiday until then. Plus I will be 7 weeks then so maybe something to see on the scan.
I am so over the moon that I caught in my first month of trying and know how unusual and fortunate I am to have done so. We used the clearblue fertility monitor and also pre-seed. We timed our efforts to do it only within 12 hours of ovulation and not before as we did the Shettles method in the hope for team blue, but actually my own preference is a girl, we just thought it might be nice to try for a first born boy, but truthfully we don’t care- just a healthy baby would be wonderful (understatement of the year) . So we did it 3 times during my ovulation day and that’s all.
So I have to confess whilst I am amongst the happiest people in the world right now it is a slightly bitter sweet moment as big sis lost hers and had a tube removed on the very weekend mine implanted. We would have been only a number of weeks apart. I told her and she is over the moon for us of course and plans to TTC again herself from April/May.
Yey baby dust to us all and I hope you all get your positives very very soon!!!! I also hope mine sticks!!!
