Sorry miss Clarke hope you are ok. Take painkillers if you need them and hot water bottles. Get comfy with a nice book if you are able or Netflix xx

Thanks for the reply Bertie. I've just started bleeding so hopefully that will be it over with then.

BertieBotts · 29/05/2016 22:58

So sorry MissClarke :( I guess that is a chemical pregnancy? I would probably phone EPU and ask if you can. Or NHS direct might know maybe? Or GP.

I hate the waiting around with no idea what's happening either. I hope you get some answers soon.

MissClarke86 · 29/05/2016 22:24

I'm back again....BFP Wednesday, BFN four days later. Sad

Other than implantation bleeding, which was before my BFP, I guess I'm just waiting for a bleed now?

I'm so fed up. It sounds weird but I can cope with the loss, but I can't cope with the waiting and not knowing what's going on. How can I get a BFP and then my HCG drop low enough for a BFN before any bleeding?

If I don't bleed soon, do I need to go and have an ultrasound?

Ugh. The whole process is just utterly exhausting.

GirlOnABike · 29/05/2016 22:07

Hello there, I am ttc as well after miscarriage last year in December. I had retained products and had an awful time afterwards trying to cope with the loss emotionally.
This month I started ttc again, but no luck. Will try again! I really hope there is a BFP for all of us in the near future. All the best to everyone.

Rachwyso · 29/05/2016 21:43

I dont know if this is the right thread for me.

I have two DCs a dd 12 and a ds 6 (he has Down's syndrome, Adhd and autism) last sunday i had a mc at 9wks6days. Im totally heartbroken. This would have been Dps 1st child. I am 30 hes 28. We had been Ttc for 6months. I am eager to TTC again relatively soon but am terrified of mc again. I have been told that your more fertile and less likely to mc within 6months of a previous mc, is this true? I want to try again desperately but dont think i could go through this heartbreak again

purpleviolet1 · 29/05/2016 17:58

I thought a name change might bring me some luck! Lol

I'm sure your chances haven't been affected, I wouldn't worry about that.

Not sure if it's because I'm getting ready to ovulate or if it's because I just desperately want to be preg again. Also just want to feel close to DH ; I've been taking my stress out on him which isn't good for our relationship Sad

Relaxation is something I try and focus on. Before this pregnancy I changed my focus to weight loss and embarked on the 5:2 diet. I'll be getting back on it now. I had lost half a stone but think I've put it all back on now. I'm also going to try do a relaxing stretching DVD as my body feels so achey and tight.

Mrs I've had a name
Change (cheeky)

I don't drink so ignore my ignorance but does drinking affect ovulation? I didn't know that. For what it's worth I'm sure it did you more good than harm by allowing you to relax a little. I do think relaxation is key to conceiving.

I can't wait to have sex again. It feels like it's been too long. The bleeding is getting less now so hopefully not long..

Enjoy your trip hopeful xxx

HopefulKate1980 · 29/05/2016 13:45

Hi all.

How is everyone? We are off to the Cotswolds, still feeling sad but much much brighter than yday. Still waiting to bleed but looking forward to getting it over with & start trying again.

Xx

purpleviolet1 · 29/05/2016 12:40

Hi everyone. Feeling really flat today energy wise and mood wise. Just cannot be bothered with anything

Forcing myself to get dressed and go and visit my mum.

AmyB1986 · 29/05/2016 11:04

Hi everyone and welcome to anyone joining us.

Hope everyone is doing ok...

Kate I hope it is over quickly for you and I'm so sorry you have to go through this again.

Cd6 for me and I'm just spotting now. This af I've had only a few cramps cd1 with af but none the other days, it was really a good af. Manageable flow wise, heavy for two days but not overflowing. Still determined not to take any opk's this month again but with my weird temps we're going to dtd every day until it is sustained. We dtd last night despite af, it was lovely no pressure but then I couldn't sleep. DH was snoring had to roll him over but I still didn't manage to drop off until 2am.

We are now at the Santa pod raceway enjoying the noise of 300mph cars. Dd's have their ear defenders on sitting on the hill waiting for the ground shaking vibrations.

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

5tardusty · 29/05/2016 09:40

Hello all, haven't posted for a while and just catching up. Sorry to those of you going through a difficult time Flowers

CD7 (maybe?) Think my first 'period' is clearing up now, though it certainly wasn't a typical AF. Very brown and watery, never more than light. So we shall see if my hormones have settled down.

This month's plan is daily OPK from day 8, daily berocca, 2000mg Evening Primrose Oil, temping and Preseed.My normal cycle has me oving at CD17 ish so i'm really hoping it happens this month. I didn't ovulate last month.

Good luck to all of you. You deserve your BFPs

purpleviolet1 · 28/05/2016 22:07

Yes hopeful...! Sorry to ask again hopeful but can you remind me of your story? I know you were thinking of giving up TTC naturally but then you got your BFP and now again you mention that you will prob try IVF if you decide to TTC again (which I really hope you will!)

Pink - thank you. Yeah have been through the mill to say the least. It's funny how lonely it can feel.

Pinksx2016 · 28/05/2016 21:47

Oh wow you have been through so much for your age you sound asif you could do with something to look forward too,and I'm so glad I'm not the only one boob grabbing it's kind of a habit I wake up and they kill lol during the day they just hurt to touch do you get that too? I go back the 8th i hope I'm as lucky as a you to see a heart beat hoping it isn't a missed miscarriage again and no baby has even developed in sac as that was all that could be seen Wednesday I left with doubts in my mind, taken us a year to conceive I want this so much even more for my little girl shed love a little brother or sister, thank you for your kind words you seem a very brave and strong lady i wish you all the best xx

Nitnat10 · 28/05/2016 21:47

Hi all, been a bit quiet lately as I always feel like nothing is happening with me between AF and the eternal wait for 'o' but seems finally I 'o'ed on day Cd30 and am in my TWW. I don't want to read too much into things (but who am I kidding), but exactly 4 years ago I also 'o'ed on the 25th of May and on June 10th got my BFP which led to DD1. So have decided to wait until June 10th to test, if AF comes before then I'll have spared myself a BFN, and if I get a BFP on the 10th it would be a lovely anecdote....
Kate and Cheeky, am forever admiring your fortitude in the face of what life has decided to throw at you, hang in there. Welcome Alb and Pink, hope you'll feel supported here, and whatser, Mimi and pink keep posting, crossing everything to hear positive pregnancy news from all of you, gives everyone hope. But completely understand the anxiety. Brenna, hope you don't even read this because you are too busy being pampered!

HopefulKate1980 · 28/05/2016 21:44

Have you changed your name cheeky?! Maybe I should do the same to give me some luck! Xx

purpleviolet1 · 28/05/2016 21:33

Aw pinks I've been doing the whole grabbing boob thing too. There is no reason why this can't be a successful pregnancy though so the nurses could've been more upbeat. They say every pregnancy is different. Symptoms etc. I know it's incredibly hard but try take it one day at a time. Your pregnant today. You don't know what the future holds but you can only base it on what you know today and today you are pregnant.  really hope you are successful this time.

It was heartbreaking when I found out in Jan. I'm a cancer survivor and in my 20's and the pregnancy was really good news for us. It was our first cycle of trying and we were so excited. We saw a heartbeat at 6 weeks. I ended up in hospital with a nasty infection just before New Years and had to make all sorts of decisions about antibiotics and them harming the baby and then it transpired that the baby had already stopped growing. Had a two month recovery before starting to TTC again and fortunately fell pregnant second cycle. Just hope I manage to fall quickly again. If it's bad news again... at least after 3 miscarriages they investigate.

P.s I have nc.

Pinksx2016 · 28/05/2016 21:11

Really sorry to hear about that Hun it really is hard to get your head around how did you feel when you found out, and now? What are you doing to cope, I think a second loss would completely ruin me I dont think I could go through it again, and I lost my 2nd pregnancy 22nd may 2015 and found out im expecting 19th may sent urine sample of at doctors came back positive 23rd may so it's taken us a year wasn't expecting it this month at all was a big shock we kind of given up, dr refereed us to early pregnancy unit, we had a scan Wednesday the lady who did scan was very positive all looked well but nurses were negative and said it was 50/50 so come away feeling not one bit reassured just added to anxiety more got to go back the 8th June constantly grabbing boobs to see if they hurt still , i really do hope your ok xxx

HopefulKate1980 · 28/05/2016 21:07

Hope your takeaway is nice cheeky!!!

Xxx

HopefulKate1980 · 28/05/2016 21:04

Enjoy IC!

My cramps have started but feel strangely relieved - hopefully it can get started soon & over with as quickly as possible.

I'm drinking wine! But I'll catch up properly tomorrow too.
Xxx

redstrawberries101 · 28/05/2016 20:55
