its all sounding promising!!! Fingers crossed for you. When was your last period?

 

[Oasis717]

I thought it was a Superdrug early but that def dies have colour to it, I couldn't even pick my line up on camera the first positive I got so I'm really hoping for you, can't wait to see your next test xxx
Afm the new worry of the day is.......Braxton hicks, I asked my mw if I could be having Braxton hicks very early with my first loss last year and she said it's possible due to the amount of pregnancies I had, well that pregnancy ended in mc and now today the very mild painless tightenings have started again leaving me now worried, as if I don't have enough to worry about! I've googled it and many women with 3+ children can feel them this early but it's of small comfort, gunna have a load of water as dehydration can be the cause, life's never dull at this end that's for sure! Xxx

 

[dancareoi]

Becks I felt that as well, just very very mild. I thought they felt like BH and thought couldn't be a this stage! Sometimes I put it down to the baby moving around as well.

Fiona, thinking about it that line is darker than my first line, I had to pull me test apart to try and see it!

 

[Oasis717]

Oh really Lisa? That makes me feel so much better thank you xxxxxx

 

[dancareoi]

Morning all. How are you all this morning. My chart now has a line on and saying 8 dpo. DH got new sample pot from hosp. Had to book new appt to take it in and the only one he could get was 28 mar. When he is working. How is that going to work lol. He is going to see if he can swap his day off. If not it will be trip to toilet me collecting it and dropping it off at hosp! Sorry if tmi lol. Romantic eh?

Jo, sometimes FF is a bit random and outs cross hairs in wrong place, you can override it and put in the cycle date you think it was. I think your OV date was CD20 which puts you 5dpo!

 

[dancareoi]

Oh really Lisa? That makes me feel so much better thank you xxxxxx

Maybe some of its is down to baby moving around, I know it is a little early, but you never know.

How is your sickness now?

Happy 10 weeks - double figures!

 

[Oasis717]

Lol thank you Lisa, I know can't believe I've got here pretty much unscathed so far! Well I felt ds at 14 weeks so you never know I was feeling better the last couple of days then today awful again! I seem to be getting some breaks between feeling so bad but I have to say I've felt terrible today which dh is pleased about, not that I'm suffering but with first loss last year my symptoms diminished by now completely, so I'd rather feel bad than good xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Happy double figures Becks and so glad your feeling awful today Garfie I too can see the faint line and I never see them lol.. Good luck for poas tommrow . Me I'm starting to panic DPO 11 , went to the chemist and picked up frer but chickened out and put them back . Not ready to see a bfn yet , will wait till Sunday . Meanwhile as for SS my list is endless lol.... Tiredness ( others commenting how wreaked I look ) , headaches , cramping, mild nauceous feeling on and off since Dpo4 , starving today the empty hunger feeling , burping , wet down below thinking AF arriving any second , emotional , vivid dream ....... Everything but a bump lol........

I hate going to the loo now , its like playing Russian roulette . If no Af by Sunday ill test I think .

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks hunni, goodness all those symptoms sound so promising! I don't blame you for not wanting to see a bfn but I was testing at 5dpo! Couldn't help myself, then lo and behold faint line at 6 dpo which I dismissed as an evap til I got another line the next day and tested with a Superdrug early test and got a line, I'm still stressing over these tightenings, they've been pretty much constant all night, you're only supposed to get a few Braxton hicks so I don't know what's going on but cause I had them last year I don't like it, might ring the mw tomorrow, see what she says xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh god everyone I'm freaking out ! Last night before bed I wiped and there was the tiniest amount of blood ( more of a streak but tiny ) my heart sank and I thought here we go the witch has got me again , went to bed fully expecting AF to be here this morning . Well no sign , even checked my cervix to see if she was here but nope watery cm with some creamy , nothing else not even a hint of anything . The streak ( if I can even call it that it was so small ) looked like I had wiped a very small cut , it was very faint also . I'm thinking could I have had a small cut on my vagina lol ????

Anyway this morning I really do feel sick but not as a symptom from nerves !!!!!
I have such a dread of the witch turning up this month ....... I'll test Sunday if I don't die from nerves first !!!!!

 

[Left wonderin]

Sorry beck , I didn't even say hi I'm so consumed by me , the feelings could be normal, poor you must be hyper sensitive to ever twinge, sensation and everything it must be a nightmare ! I'm so hoping I can join you in that anxiety soon xxxxxx its good to call the mw even if it is to put your mind a ease . I think we should all get a home scanning machine so you can see baby every day )))

 

[garfie]

Well Ladies

Must have been a dodgy one - I POAS and it was negative - so sad and now when I enter my temp FF has me at 4DPO

I'm sorry I didn't get back on here last night - not only did I loose the lappy to hubby but I then lost my phone to the eldest - he likes that game 4 pics 1 word

Becks - I'm sure everything is fine hun - but I would also contact your mw just to maybe have a reassuring chat

Left - Oh I hope it is IB - do you normally spot before AF

Josie - Any new symptoms yet?

Lisa - How are you feeling - when do you plan to tell your children

Crazy - Hope you are well

AFM - after being on yesterday I have now fallen through the floor - my temps are still overly high and I still have sore boobs - now according to FF I am 4DPO - I don't know what to think or do

[josie1234]

Hello all, sorry I haven't been on much, I have been busy with work and only been catching up on the phone.

Garfie - sorry to hear about the AFN but you never know, if you are 4 DPO like FF says then there is hope. My DH loves that 4 pics and 1 word but I haven't got the patience.

Becks - hope things go ok with the mw, it is always best to check to put your mind at rest. Must be putting you on edge. Good luck with the mw and let me know how you get on.

Left - sounds interesting, may be IB fingers crossed.

Lisa and Crazy, hope you are both well.

My temp is the same as yest so not gone down so hopefully that is a good sign. I am ringing docs today to check on my progesterone results. Don't know what numbers I need to see if I've ovulated. Had cramps and backache last couple of days, sore boobs, bit of nausea. Well not long to wait until my AF is due so fingers crossed. Hope you are all ok anyway xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Regina could it be a bit of implantation bleeding? Oh i so so hope so!!! Two more days and we shall know, how exciting! I'm rooting for you xxxxx
Fiona I'm so sorry I can't believe that was an evap it was so clear I've never had an evap as clear as that that's hugely disappointing but if ff has you at 4dpo you're not out yet hunni there's still every chance xxxx
Lisa hope you are feeling ok today, how's those flutters going?xxx
Afm I'm struggling to work out if what I'm feeling are Braxton hicks, or, just that I can feel my uterus now when I lay down, it feels like a heavy firm ball it's quite hard to explain, the feelings go away when I walk around so I'm wondering if this is what I'm feeling? All these knew sensations and ds pregnancy was 5 yrs ago so it's hard to remember but I do know that at some point I was very aware of this heavy feeling. Xxxxx

 

[Oasis717]

Thanks Jo, pregnancy is fraught with worries, getting pregnant is only the first step then after that it's non stop. Really good your temp is still up, that's brillxxxxxx

 

[josie1234]

Yeh it is a worry Becks for such a long time too. But you will get there hunny. Just got my results from my prog blood test. As follows:

I ovulated - yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serum progesterone - 21.1
Days 19-25 normal cycle 10.6-81.3
Day 20 of cycle

Not sure what the numbers mean but I will look into it. I went for the blood test on 12 Mar which is day 23 of my cycle so I am not sure what the day 20 means. Oh well at least I ovulated which is a bonus as the doctor said I wasn't ovulating.

 

[josie1234]

Oooooh, just looked at this website, getting slightly excited.

[Oasis717]

Jo as soon as I saw the 21.1 I thought that's high, when I had my blood test at 5 weeks plus 1 I was praying for between 16-18 which is what the docs like for a healthy pregnancy and I got a 72.5! But your 21.1 is high for not being pregnant so I don't blame you for being excited!! Xxx

I have read up on week 10 and it would seem I'm just feeling my uterus which by this week can be felt as a firm grapefruit size ball, also pressure and stretching is completely normal both of which I'm having, also my boobs have started to be very much more painful and I'm weeing so so much all of which are due to the increase in progesterone in week 10 so looks like what I'm feeling is normal, phew!! Xxx
