February 2018 TTC & 2ww thread

HGMama - Glad the bleeding has stopped and your lines still look great!! And glad you are getting blood work done!!!! I had bleeding in both of my pregnancies with my boys - with DS1 it was spotting off and on from like, weeks 5-8. With DS to it was heavier bleeding off and on for a several weeks late in my 2nd tri. TERRIFYING. They never found the cause and both babies were (and still are!) perfect! So I know how scary it is but I do hope things work out for you!!

Girlsway YUP I'd say that's official!!!! That's a great line on a FRER too. Yea my due date would be Oct 16th - a day before my birthday! Very close to yours! So hoping both our little babies are healthy and that they STICK!

strawberrybella - Good luck!! Hope it goes well!!

I go back in for my 2nd blood draw today and I'm terrified!!

Girlsway!! Look at your line progression!! ❤️

Girlswaylondon IC's aren't good for early testing progression but once it starts darkening it will progress quickly [emoji4] your frer lines are beautiful [emoji108]

My FRER this morning (17 dpo) with FMU was waaaaay lighter. Kinda panicking. I shouldn't have tested with FMU b/c I KNOW my lines are always lighter with FMU than with SMU or TMU. I think this may be b/c I tend to drink more liquids in the evening before bed. But there wasn't a ton of pee this morning and it looked pretty concentrated so I decided why not. And it was way light & now I'm freaking out :( The line yesterday (with maybe TMU, it was late morning I think) was pretty good - just a hair lighter than the control line and that was with pretty pale/diluted pee. Not much darker than the previous 2 days though. But why is my FMU this morning so light? I'm waiting to hear from the doc about 2nd betas that I had done yesterday, but I may not hear from him today as he's usually out on Fridays. I'm trying to hold for a few hours and then will try again but I'm feeling like it's not going to be good.

Anyone have any good stories about their FMU tests being terrible and still have rising/high betas? I'm seriously on the verge of tears right now b/c of a stupid test!!

Abc I notice my test was darker in the afternoon than the morning is so confusing!! I hope you hear back soon xo

I don't have experience in this area. I'm sorry. Stay confident that this is youre stupid urine playing tricks. I hope you get the phone call today. And then stop worrying until your first appt. Easier said than done.

ABC I had things like this happen when the test line got almost as dark as the control line. The tests were just randomly getting a bit darker or lighter from that point on. Maybe the tests are saturated now and the colour of the test line just depends on the amount of dye in each test which at least for my cheapie tests seems to vary a lot from test to test. Keeping my fingers crossed so much for you!

[emoji170] 08/2014 [emoji170] 04/2016

The top test is from yesterday's late morning, pale/diluted looking pee and the bottom test is from this morning's comcentrated, FMU. What the heck??!!! Also the line yesterday took 10-15 seconds to show up and today's took like 45!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...92727f0a8b.jpg

ABC don’t think anything of it. My lines with Emmalyn were always darker with smu and even tmu. She’s just fine. My urine was diluted with fmu for some reason!

ABC fmu on my second day after my positive test, said not pregnant barely any lines on the ones from 4:30 in the morning, then I held my pee until 8:30 thy morning because I wasn’t having That and the lines were much darker.

Thanks ladies. This is TMU, so I feel better now. My FMU sucks apparently - I guess I don't build up hcg overnight. I need to calm down, I know. Just so completely paranoid after two early m/c's. I just wish the doctor would call and tell me my 2nd beta was ok!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9196de8c51.jpg

I knew it abc! Those lines are perfect!


Has anyone ever had little sharp pains on he right side in early pregnancy? I’m having little stabbing pains on the right, not constant, comes and goes and isn’t what I’d call painful but enough to notice?

Yes girlsway.

Girlsway it’s probably ligament pain, it starts sooner with subsequent pregnancies. This being my third baby, the RLP started very early and happens a lot more frequently. Very normal!

Greydore that makes sense I don’t remember having it with ds! Also have you had your 12 week scan yet? :)

Abc my fmu also sucks! The bottom is smu! Look at the difference!

Attachment 38790

Praying for all of those little beans to stick! X

Hi ladies, wow so many bfps!! Huge congratulations to girlsway, abc and hgmama! I'm so pleased for you all.
I went back to the hospital for my last blood test on Thursday and it came back less than 5 so everything has resolved naturally which I'm pleased about. Anyway last miscarriage I didn't ovulate at all the next cycle and it lasted about 40 days so I'm expecting the same this time. However I really feel like I'm about to ovulate, could this be possible? I'm on cd 14 and stopped bleeding about a week ago. What do you all reckon?!

Mummy so good to hear from you!!!! And thanks :) I'm terrified beyond belief about my BFP but hoping this one goes well. I'm glad that everything has resolved now naturally. I hope you are doing well - emotionally and physically - with the healing process!!

With both of my miscarriages, I ovulated about two weeks after the bleeding started (the first was exactly 14 days after, the 2nd I don't know the exact day but I know it was around the two week mark). Now, that said, my m/c's were both very early (I was 5 weeks - I think you were a bit further along?) AND my hormone levels were super low, especially with the 2nd one. The m/c bleeding with my 2nd one was crazy light - lighter than a normal period! So that may be why I ovulated so quickly after, plus my body is pretty much like clock work when it comes to my cycles. BUT - that being said, I would say it's definitely possible!!! Are you doing OPKs or seeing a bunch of EWCM that makes you think you might ovulate soon? Are you wanting to try again on the first O?

Hi abc!! I am so, so pleased you've got your bfp! I've got everything crossed that this baby sticks for you 🤞 Have you had any more betas?
My first loss I was only 5 weeks but I was 6 and a half this time and the bleeding was much heavier and much more painful.
I have done some opks and they are quite dark but not positive yet, am feeling very wet down there (sorry tmi!) and I'm usually pretty in tune with my body and can tell when o is approaching by how I feel. But maybe my body is messed up from the loss still. Yeah I want to try again straight away, I'm 41 so haven't got much time to play with [emoji33]

Mummy! Just said a prayer that this baby when you are ready is your healthy baby girl! So many hugs to you! Is time for us all to be happy with our rainbow babies!!

Mummy2boys so sorry for your losses, got all my fingers crossed you catch the next egg and it’s a sticky bean xo

Hello ladies! Happy to see so many BFPs! I swayed 3 years away and failed, but I'm a proud mommy of two beautiful boys. I swayed this time again, had an unintentional 5 day cut-off, so don't know if it's going to happen this month or not. Weird thing, I got a low fever on Monday that that's lasted this long. I know you're supposed to do Bbt, but my little one wakes up throughout the night so I don't. I wasn't feeling well on Monday, took my temp and it was at 99.7, from then, everyday it has fluctuated between 99.1-99.6, which is not normal for me. Yesterday i had major pain by my left ovary, it throbbed for a while and now it's gone. I a POAS addict, so I've been testing and nothing so far, I'm at 8 dpo. I am also feeling a little bad because I have completely let go of my sway this 2WW. I was exercising everyday and I am not feeling well so completely stopped, and have been eating breakfast and pretty much everything in sight because I think I was starving myself and I've been feeling so tired. It's going to be really hard to get back into it, really hope I get a BFP! Good luck to all!

Mummy - Sounds like you could def be ovulating soon!! Do you think you guys will go ahead and get an attempt(s) in?? I had betas done again on Thursday but my doc is usually out on Fridays so I didn't hear yesterday - will probably hear first thing Monday.

Tania - Welcome & good luck! I had a lot of what you are experiencing during my recent tww... Super hungry and tired, temperature running a lot higher than normal (which I believe is because of the progesterone, since my first blood work showed it's pretty high).

Attempt already done abc [emoji23][emoji23] And will prob go again tomorrow [emoji23] may as well give it a go just in case I am ovulating.
Will be looking out for your post on Monday when you hear from your doctor! 🤞
Welcome Tania [emoji112]
