It so is monkey I'm still getting the occasional twinges bizarreConfused.. I've got a holiday coming up in 6 weeks time so I'm going to focus on getting some more exercise and cut out sugar and focus less on ttc (who am I kidding?)Grin

Welcome Atat sorry about AF Sad.
Welcome Poco I hope you get a healthy pg soon, what a bad run you have had.
Congratulations mummy that's just the kind of good news we needed around here!!
Sakura we really are cycle twins, I had brown spotting last night then red blood this afternoon but very light. It's such a headfuck isn't it?

Sakura03 · 25/07/2015 17:40

mummy I tested this morning and got a bfnSad

MamaLazarou · 25/07/2015 17:12

OMG mummy!! Flowers

Mummyofonesofar · 25/07/2015 16:13

sakura thanks. Can you be sure it's been AF?

Sakura03 · 25/07/2015 15:46

Should be - you guys

Sakura03 · 25/07/2015 15:45

Congratulations mummyFlowers that's fabulous news!!! I'm definitely out this monthSad it's been a weird one... spotting on cd 26 and 27 (Monday and Tuesday). Then nothing until the evening of cd28 (Thursday) and since then it's been fairly light... so which day would guys call cd1? Never had af like this before very odd...

Mummyofonesofar · 25/07/2015 15:21

Fruit get a frer. That should be definitive.

I've had big heavy boobs and a heavy feeling in the uterus and a 'feeling' that I was pregnant on Thursday but not yesterday. Used an IC this morning and though I had a "not sure what colour it is but there is a line of I stare at it for ages it sort of appears". So went and got a frer (because I'm meant to be out drinking tonight)

Thanks carrot, but lo and behold, I came on this morning Sad Feeling crap now, really thought this might be it.

CarrotVan · 25/07/2015 08:27

Fx crossed for youpoco

It's always worth leaving 48 hours atat because that's how long it should take hcg to double

fruit Superdrug tests are very good too, and half the price of FR

Oh bless you, I'm sorry fruit, I didn't know you didn't have children either! I also have fur babies (hence my user name) I have three! A 14 yr old black and white moggy who I got at age 13, a 6 year old apricot Siamese who keeps me on my toes, and a 1 year old HUGE ginger tom who is scared of his own shadow!
I find mumsnet has offered me so much support over the last 5 months, so I try to give some back when I can...i popped back onto the 'head wreck mc' thread for a while to try and offer some words of comfort for those who were in our position. Haven't been on there for a while now, I see it as a cycle, each lady who gets support from one thread should return that support before moving on....and we all have to move on at some point for our own sanity, just as when I hopefully move on from here, I will pop back over to try and offer some reassurance for those ttc after mc.
I hope we get our baby soon xxx

AtAt · 24/07/2015 19:46

Evening all, hope I can ask for some advice here. I had a mmc in March, and help excellent support on here.

We are TTC. My period is currently 4 days late, but I get a bfn when I did a test this morning. It was a Boots own brand one.
I'm thinking of testing again Sunday if nothing happens. Does that sound a good length of time to leave? I keep getting what I think are period pains, so it may still arrive, but the fact I am late is building my hopes up...

pocopearl · 24/07/2015 19:39

Hey ladies, Im after a little hand holding if thats ok. Currently in 2ww, have had 4 miscarriages since September. We weren't trying this month we were going to wait until after we had been seen in hospital but one too many malibu's and homemade cocktails... rather frustratingly we got a date for the hospital finally, and we move next week completely out of the area so will have to reschedule everything again, but am hoping we don't have to. Sorry I just am so anxious as clearly I have a problem with carrying (have a ds) but am just so desperate that if a bean is made its a super sticky one with the grip of a thousand strong men.

fruitlovingmonkey · 24/07/2015 19:00

Thanks for the support, what you are going through is just terrible. I'm amazed you are able to offer such help to others in this time and very grateful for it too.Hope things start looking up and you get a healthy pg in time for your due date. It does add a bit of pressure, doesn't it? I also don't have any children yet, only my fur baby! I only actually got one attempt to get to 3 months before my due date, because of mc related health problems. Hopefully can at least get a BFP before October. Hope someone on here gets their BFP soon. Anyone got symptoms to report?

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 24/07/2015 18:40

No worries fruit. I'm sorry you didn't get the result you were hoping for, I understand that desperation and need to be pregnant by your due date. I was so happy only 17 days ago (pregnant after mmc in April) would have been 6 months pregnant by my due date 5th Nov, then I lost that one too...now the race seems like it's getting harder, and I'm terrified by the idea of not being pregnant (healthily pregnant) by my due date.
Fc we've been successful this month with a sticky one...i think one more mc may take what little hope I have left in having children. Not having any children to be thankful for whilst going through consecutive pregnancy loss is just horrible.
PHEW! Sorry for the rant, I just wanted you to know I sympathise with you with regards to the 'race against the clock'
I remember you saying this was your last attempt that, if successful, would have been in time for your due date? I'm so sorry you haven't had better news hun xxx

fruitlovingmonkey · 24/07/2015 17:45

I'm guessing it will be around 34 days, it was 25 pre MC and 37 last cycle. Today is day 30. I'm getting a few cramps now so maybe AF is coming. Think I will wait and see but thanks for the tip, will stock up on First Response for the future xx

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 24/07/2015 17:02

How long is your cycle, are you due AF soon? X

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 24/07/2015 16:59

Well I'm not trying to give false hope, but with clear blue digital I didn't get a 1-2wks result until 13dpo, first response are much more sensitive and I was getting positives from 11dpo with them. Perhaps try a first response? I'm pretty certain the result would be accurate with one of those at 14dpo X

fruitlovingmonkey · 24/07/2015 15:23

No worries Paws my username is confusing. I don't mind which you call me! My body is playing tricks on me. After the BFN I drank a coffee and it made me feel really sick, could just be because I haven't had one for a while. Also my boobs are big and heavy but I used a Clearblue and at 14dpo it should be accurate, right? Pretty sure I'm out.
Thanks Mummy x

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 24/07/2015 14:47

fruit, I've been calling you monkey!
Sorry bfn hun, which brand did you use? Did you have any pg symptoms? X
mummy I'm having so much rest im actually bored now! Still enjoy it while it lasts ay? I'm sure a rest will do me good x

Mummyofonesofar · 24/07/2015 09:03

Morgan sounds like good reasons lovely.

paws glad you’ve felt strong enough to get back on the horse – I hope you are resting too though!! Good luck for this tww hun.

Reebok to be honest, mine went away before I mcd after my natural, they baby had stopped growing at 6+5 and I found out at 7+5 and my breasts were already normal and I naturally mcd at 8 +1, but I did suffer from a breakout of achne straight afterwards which I think is the hormones settling. As soon as you get a – preg test then they are gone.

fruit sorry for BFN hun xx

fruitlovingmonkey · 24/07/2015 07:03

BFN for me this morning Sad

Allmychildrenhavepaws · 23/07/2015 23:38

Thanks monkey, I hope you get your bfp! X
Reebok I think with natural mc it can take longer, it all depends on how quickly your hcg levels drop...can take a few weeks. I had a mmc and lost all pg symptoms around week 8-9, then passed the pregnancy at 10&6 .... So I was loosing my pregnancy very slowly, wasn't until I lost my symptoms that my body realised what was going on, took 2-3 weeks to mc naturally, a month after that ended up with erpc due to retained products! Everyone and every pregnancy is different my lovely, I'm sorry I can't offer any definitive answer. X
