Morning! How is everyone feeling?
AF was due yesterday and even though I had 4 positive tests it was nice to have that extra confirmation of her not coming! My son is super poorly though so that’s put paid to me going back to work today.

@Klyla. I'm doing pretty good today. The weekend was very rough and emotional for me; lots of crying. Today seems to be a better day but the day isn't over yet. Is this ypur first day back to work? Glad AF stayed away and to have that extra confirmation. Does your hubby know?

@Hberry. Hey girl. I hope you guys were able to catch the egg this cycle and you gwt your BFP in a couple weeks. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@E. How are you feeling? Has your lines gotten darker?

@Alex. Try not to be so hard on yourself if AF shows her ugly face. Your time will come when you least expect it.

Thanks dragonfly. Tomorrow is Ovulation. Today I've been feeling lots of twinges. Im keeping fingers crossed myself.

@dragonfly yes he made me take a test on Wednesday that was positive. He finally believed it when I took the clear blue and then the digital the next day.
Yes back to work now! Being super careful and only having a couple of clients a day. I’m exhausted and the sickness is getting worse by the day. I had none with my son until 6-7weeks but this time it’s hit me like a brick wall!

Sorry to hear you’ve felt so emotional. Every day is a new day. Tomorrow will be a good day!

Help! I had two vvfp last wed.(9dpo) and thurs. (10dpo)
Friday (11dpo) the line was darker but when I wiped I was bleeding. The line looked the same Sat. (12dpo) and Sun. (13dpo) This morning, Monday (14dpo) it is clearly darker but I am still bleeding! I have only been using dollar store tests and internet cheapies (ran out and they're sold out now ugh). I haven't called my doctor yet as the lines were still quite faint and it is so early that it could be a chemical and of course covid ugh. 
If I wasn't testing I would have assumed my period came early and wouldn't have tested at all. Started bleeding Friday and my af is due today, monday. 

@Klyla. Your son got so used to you being home that I definately feel what you are going through. I never felt like this with my other two pregnancies. Never even got morning sickness. This go around, it is the complete opposite. Even though I had my first ultrasound without getting the vaginal done; my daughter still says two babies inside mommys tummy. Sure can't wait till July 23 to finally find out if it is one or two and that could explain why I am feeling like this and how fast I ballooned so early.

@LiaAnne. I don't know much about strips but I hope that what you experienced was implantation bleeding. Hoping your tests get darker as each day passes.

So this mornings test was vvvvvfl, and for 12 dpo that wasnt good. My thoughts on a chemical were confirmed this morning when AF showed up a day early.

So. @erin pointed out that at least we know that things work and I can get pregnant and thats made me feel a lot better. I've felt pretty calm about it (sad and disappointed obviously). I had been waiting to tell DH until I knew for sure. But once I knew it was a chemical I told DH about it, and he was very supportive and made me an extra special supper.

@Hpenney. So sorry to hear that hun. I used to spot before AF as well before I got pregnant with my second child and never did before my first pregnancy. I didn't go see the doctor (last resort) about it as I just wanted to see if it would work or not. I Googled low progesterone and symptons and had lots of symptoms. Then I Googled progesterone cream and bought a tube off Amazon to try. I got pregnant that month (tracking/temping/OPKs). I'm taking progesterone cream with this pregnancy as well and will continue to take it until the placenta takes over then ween off. I know I probably mentioned it a lot (lol) as it worked for me both times, but doesn't mean it will work for anyone else. Worth looking into if you don't want to spend a whole lot of money if the doctor prescribes medication that is out of your price range.

Morning ladies. So I’m 15dpo today and two days late with all my tests super negative. My PMS is bad and I’m grampy like never before. I’m not used to be late and at this point I just want things to get over so I can move to the next cycle. So yea.. sorry if I was MIA but I’m not the best company atm. Sending hugs to all!

@hpenney I'm so sorry for your loss! Fingers crossed for next time, and maybe look into progesterone studies. My name is Emily by the way, though I'm not sure I've ever used my first name here! I don't mind if anyone here wants to call me by my first name for the record, y'all can call me anything.

Thank you guys for your enquiries about me! I finally got DH to get more tests for me and I tested after dinner just now and got a dye stealer on frer. Check out my profile to have a look!

I had my first beta hcg done at 14 dpo/4weeks and it was 160. Repeating betas in a couple days. My fertility specialist had me come straight in when I called the office yesterday to tell them I was pregnant, and because of my history and the fact that I was having a lot of cramping, he gave me a progesterone injection, and is having me get progesterone pessaries moving forward just to be safe. No more cramping today so I reckon the progesterone helped! My first scan will be at 7 weeks.
