I get knocked down, but I'll get knocked up again, cos you're never gonna keep me down... The big fat posifrickintivity thread for people TTC after MC.

I mean reminder .... Not remember! Lunchtime dtd - can't write - cant speak ... Ill just continue cooking stir fry for dh cxx

Cross post with sapphire - it's so difficult and so annoying that we all know the other side of when things go wrong - I'm sure all will be fine for them and you are happy for them but also there is a constant remember of what we are all missing xxxxx

Grat! now dh tells me he is off to Ireland at 5.30 am . Not back till late Wednesday .... Can I possiblywake him and me up early enough to dtd!!!! Not very fun ... Might have to leave it .... Is it worth doing it again tonight .... Then I'm on for 2WW agghhhh - not much hope for this month ...

On a more serious note, I had a call from my little brother yesterday who very nervously told me his wife was pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy for them, I just wish they had waited a couple of weeks. They've only had their first midwife appointment, and not the three month scan and all I can think about is that I had my midwife appointment and thought everything was going well, then started miscarrying the day before my scan. Bad memories, and I really hope they don't have to go through the same and untell people like we did.

I haven't braved lunchtime dtd since I was in my early twenties. I was dating someone from work at time and we decided to pop home for a quickie. Anyway, I think some air must have got trapped up there, because during the afternoon when I was in my bosses office I let off the loudest, longest fanny fart imaginable. We both tried to ignore it and continue talking, but it was excruciating. Never again!

Forgot to say sorry to hear AF here overanxious & hope 2ww flies by guff

Sorry missp rubbish news. Sorry also oltt that you're feeling down. It is probably just a wtf cycle & hopefully things will be better next time.
Rock sounds like you're about a wk ahead of me - we had our erpcs at similar times. Hope your symptom spotting turns out to be because a BFP is heading your way. When will you poas?
emki like the lunchtime dtd strategy hope it's successful.
4 more days & then a bank hol & only working 2 days next week.

Hi all,

Have been away a few days with no MN and was hoping to come back to a load of BFPs, but I'm sorry to see this thread is not having a good run at the moment.

Keep the faith ladies, hopefully it means the next few weeks will be particularly fruitful.

I'm now in the dreaded 2WW which makes me feel anxious and depressed at the lack of control we have over this whole thing. Am trying to keep positive though and planning nice things to do. Hopefully going to book up a nice weekend away with DH soon.

Hello to the newbies, sorry you are here. This thread is usually really positive (honest!).

overanxious we are now in sync. (It's CD1 for me as well). I'll keep you company at the back of the bus.

Hugs overanxious well done for trying to be positive - it's so hard but every month is another month closer to getting that bfp.

Yes it's nearly year for me when I miscarried the first time - 28th June - really thought I would be much further on by now .... Ggrrrr xxxxx. Treat yourself this week do something really nice for just you. Also up thread tins said she donated to a baby charity - I think I might do this to mark the time xxx

AF arrived for me this morning trying to stay positive and view it as a 'fresh start' but it is just so gutting to be at square one all over again. Getting ever so close to that 1 year mark since I last got pregnant and it's scaring me a bit.

Crossing my fingers for everybody else. We need some good news!

x

I'm back , I'm flushed, I can't stop giggling to myself!!! Nearly didn't happen as dh took a 'very important work call' so I sat in bed and read my book - thought ' ooh this is nice , maybe I shouldn't go back...' Anyway I'm now scoffing lunch down - good to share with you guys - knew you would understand and very glad I brought a smile to your faces xxx

emki you have cheered me up. Lunchtime DTD. Excellent work and dedication.

Lol at the thought of you running back to the office all flushed.

Rainbow, I often get ovulation pain (stabbing pains, mild cramping and backache) - I'm sure it's nothing to worry about.

OLTT, try not to worry too much about the short luteal phase. This is your WTF cycle, right? I expect things will take a while to settle down. And remember BBT is not infallible, especially if you're waking at random times, I'll, hot, stressed etc. You may well be worrying over nothing.

MissP, you are not silly. Please don't feel silly Been there, done that.

Daytime DTD sounds like a great start to the week too!

I've been there miss p even done it with lines on opk too!

Finally got 2 lines on opk stick this morning - luckily dh working at home today and I work locally I'm going to pop home at lunch to dtd! A bit obsessive I know - but just in case he conks out on sofa tonight .... Then we dtd tomorrow too -

We had a great date night - it surprised us both what a nice time we had - definitely going to do it once a month -we've had such a tough year and was good to have fun and relax.

My thing to look forward to is obviously dtd and also decided to drive to france for a few days on Saturday so can pack and plan this week

Looks like ill be POAS on 31st or there abouts .... Trying not to put much hope on this month as only 1st full cycle since mc but will be in a really bad mood if it doesn't happen even though I know it won't

I think we can all look forward to march/April babies ...

I like the fact that someone on here is having profiteroles for breakfast! What a great way to start the week xxxx hugs to everyone feeling rubbish xxxx

Really disappointing Missp but definitely not silly. Saggy is right, we've prob all been there. x

missp you are definitely not silly. I've done the stare too hard and a line appeared camp .

rainbow. I wouldn't worry Bout ovulation pain. Cysts generally sort themselves out too. Sounds like its all working.

Think my test was Evap line. Tried first response tidy and a BFN.
Feel really silly and stupid and sad.

Onwards and upwards.

Now rereading your post bakingtins you are saying it might take a couple of cycle to recover from BF. I hope it's the same with the MC then, and that I shouldn't worry too much until it's a problem after a couple of cycles. (Trying very very hard to keep positive).

amicable I don't know what's normal . I hope your body is just settling down.

help please.....I've only had one AF since my mmc in Feb - last one was 4 April - is this normal? Before i was on the pill so not really sure what my 'normal' is but so frustrated right now!

rainbow I'm sure we've all been down about the MCs. I guess the short luteal phase and the AF just triggered old wounds . bakingtins I'm no longer BF so I was expecting a normal luteal phase. But I haven't had a normal period since DD's birth because I was either BF or pregnant (twice, and both were MC). This AF is my cycle 0 so I should stay positive and just write it off as WTF? I couldn't have a luteal phase deficiency if I managed to get to 6 weeks and 12 weeks, can I? I know LP problems can cause miscarriages, and that's my worry.

As for ovulation pain rainbow I've heard on here that ovarian cysts could be a cause. But then it's probably nothing like this. And ovarian cysts won't stop you getting BFP and healthy babies. Just giving you pain! Fx it's all ok for you too.

Sorry you're so down OneLittleToddlerTerror. I hope work is OK.

Nice to read the happy Sunday thoughts. I'm having profiteroles for breakfast to kick off my week!

Fingers are crossed for you MissPositivity.

Anyone know if ovulation pain is ever something to be concerned about? I'd never had it before - only knew what it was from googling & positive OPK test. Was bent over with stabbing pains at some points yesterday - and some bleeding after DTD last night. Completely fine today so assuming OK.

Sorry I forgot to say grats to misspositivity. I am feeling really down atm so hoping work will keep me really busy. And I need a bit handful of positivity fairy dust!
