Magical Maypoles ~*May testing thread*~

Bfns so far but it’s still early. Every smell is killing me but we also had stress at work this week so it could be a sensory thing. I did have the private gynae appointment yesterday. He disagreed with all the previous things the GP said (I knew it was dodgy and inadequate anyway). He is sending me a prescription for medication to induce ovulation in future as there is enough there to suggest I am likely having issues with consistently ovulating. He also did some minor other changes with my pcos related meds
 
The site format is really throwing me. Tried to post a check in but it’s deleting as I type. Will check in with you all soon and update! Sending baby dust to all TTC this month. Thinking about you!
 
Ahhhh what the heck is going on its all gone weird on here and hard to use on phone now.
 
@LuluRose sorry af got you. I did the exact same as you before dh agreed to this baby. I didn’t want to be on any birth control so we were using condoms and then he decided to just start using pull out method. He knew how desperately I wanted a baby and he was adamant no more but then it messed with my head because I was constantly frustrated that he was absolutely certain he wouldn’t be changing his mind but then he was willing to take the small risk I could get pregnant. I also secretly tested every month hoping for a miracle but he’s so controlled at it. Every month I would be devastated and cry. This went on for a year. Eventually I got in such a dark place and we finally had a long talk about it all and he finally understood how desperately I wanted one last baby and how much it meant to me that we started trying properly. I fell first time, I was so shocked because it’s always taken me at least a year. Unfortunately when I went for my 12 week scan baby had passed away at 8 weeks. It’s great that you now have him to share the emotional side of it all with. Hope it happens for you quickly. Best of luck for this new cycle

@RedRose19 symptoms sound promising. Good luck for your next test

@ChibiLena good luck. Hope you’ve caught that egg
Sorry for my delayed response, I checked out of this thread for a few days whilst I had my period. Thanks for sharing, it's nice to know I'm not the only one who has secretly tested and driven themselves crazy. Sounds like we're both on the right path now though, good luck with getting your bfp. I'm feeling hopeful again :dust:
 
Quick update from me. It is Mother's day today and it is a little bitter sweet for me. Can't help but think of Tallulah.
I haven't bought more tests as yet, I don't know that I want that disappointment if it is negative today. I did do an OPK just to satisfy me and it is really dark which is a little odd given I am suppose to start AF in 3 days.
Happy Mothers Day to everyone that celebrates it today <3

I am so hopeful for you. I had a dark OPK at 8 dpo, and then at 9 dpo my faint BFP. Best of luck to you

:hugs::hugs:
 
@WantingababyF oh wow what a fab line, totally understandable to be scared and nervous a pregnancy after a loss is hard I no I wasn't as far as you were but I'm still scared and nervous even now sending you massive :hugs: xx

Happy mothers day to all you US ladies xxx
 
Been a super busy week for my family. Can't wait to finish this move tomorrow. At least it's kept me distracted!

8dpo today I think. Nothing too unusual to report, except that my nipples are a little sore, usually it's tender breasts at this point. I did take one test 2 days ago, but it was way early and not first morning urine, so of course it was negative. Also still gassy. My temps keep going up and down even though I'm waking up around the same time wirh similar sleeping conditions so not sure what's up with that.

Not feeling like this was my month either, especially with the misleading OPK and only getting one baby dance in around when I probably actually ovulated. All it takes is one though, so I'm trying to stay hopeful!

Best of luck for when you test

@WantingababyF I hope that’s the real thing and not an indent!

Good luck to everyone waiting to test :)

We actually managed to try this month so will be joining you!

Welcome back. Hope you and your partner are well. Good luck for this cycle

Officially 1dpo, can you put me down for testing on 21st please

Good luck hun. Hope you caught that egg

OMG!!! YAY CONGRATULATIONS!! oh hun, i'm so happy for you. Praying this is your super healthy little rainbow. I'm also feeling terrified, its impossible to relax after a loss. I'm just trying to take each day as it comes at the moment.

Afm, my cramps finally seem to have eased to what they were. Had one more small amount of spotting. I'm scared to take any tests in case of the hook effect because i would just freak if they look fainter. I'm finally feeling some nausea and have sore boobs so having some symptoms now but i'm still worried that its all started late again like it did last time. With my son my nausea started quite strong by 5 weeks. I'm scared now its an indication the baby won't be healthy again. There would have been no point in me going to a&e because i don't think they would have done anything with be being so early. I have my first face to face midwife appointment on Wednesday so i'm holding out for that. Was so convinced on Friday i was going to miscarry because the cramps were so strong. They haven't gone completely but they've eased the last couple of days. I really hope they'll offer me an early scan because i can't stand waiting weeks and weeks after what happened last time. I just can't relax at all. Just dreading another loss, it's terrifying
Also i hope the layout sorts itself out quickly. I'm having to use my laptop because its so tiny on my phone and can't open any photos. Hate not being able to use my phone
 
Congratulations @WantingababyF


Ladies im finding this new format too hard on my phone. Ill be back properly when it goes back to normal.
