Calling all OPK-ers, Temp-ers, Clomid-ers, Femara-ers, IUI-ers, IVF-ers and anyone else on the TTC #1 Bus.

Happy New Year! It's 2017 and it's OUR year Star

We've been going a while now so the novelty has somewhat worn off and we're slightly battle scarred and bruised in the cervix area. We've ditched the Gregorian calendar in favour of the TTC Cycle Day calendar, and we don't get a lot of baby dust in these here parts, we just keep it legs spread and fingers crossed (LSFX). We love a baby bomb from a prior bus-mate but if we get told to 'just relax and enjoy it' ONE MORE TIME you will get a punch in the face!

We have a new Grad's Thread. We recently lost a whole load of ttc veterans to the good side and we're absolutely desperate to join in the fun! May 2017 lead us all to upduffed heaven and the Grad's thread, amen.

We don't have rules as such but expect to be talked down from the ledge with kind but firm words if you get too hysterical. But most importantly, don't convince yourself that you're pregnant in the tww. That is paramount!

Hop on board, post your stats and prepare to be dazzled by the wealth of TTC knowledge we long-timeys have to share...

So sorry pug and Alexia. There are no words, and only time and love can help to heal.

To everyone else, having a good day or a bad day, keep smiling.

Miranda234 · 12/01/2017 13:25

How are you doing sk1pper?

sk1pper · 12/01/2017 12:29

Just wanted to pop on to say how sorry I am Alexia and Pug. It seems terribly cruel and unfair, you both deserve this so much and I can't begin to imagine how devastating this feels. I know you'll both bounce back from this with time and you have my everlasting love and support xx

Londonjam · 12/01/2017 12:24

My heart is so bloody broken for you both 😔 there's particular joy for me seeing long time TTC ers get their BFP. Mc is just so cruel. I know you might not even be thinking it yet but I'm silently willing you both back to strength and pregnant again with lovely long healthy pregnancies, as soon as possible.

💐💐💐pyjamas love that pic

our bfp rush has come crashing down.... ah well my lovely ladies, we are fighters .

AlexiaB · 12/01/2017 10:44

I just wanted to say I'm absolutely overwhelmed by all the love and support you have given me. I'm so lucky to have each and every one of you ❤️ Your kind words have lifted me up this morning when I needed it most. Thank you all so much Flowers I'm CD1, started bleeding overnight. When I am feeling down I will come back to read your words and find the strength to carry on.

Pug I'm devastated to read your news this morning. I am so, so sorry lovely Sad The high of being pregnant after SO long, to then lose it is just unbearably cruel. Sending you the biggest hugs Flowers Let's hope our next time is not too far away. Take care ❤️ xx

Pyjamas sorry af might be here Flowers Wish she'd f off for life! That's pic did make me laugh lol

Flowers pyjamas

hope you plan a good fuck it day.

I'm on cd27 (of a 32+/-3 day cycle). boobs are mildly sore, so (PMA) my body is still doing sensible/regular things.

Pyjamas81 · 12/01/2017 10:16

Well I think I'm pretty definitely out today. Spotting this morning and although I don't usually spot, AF was due any day now, so I think I've got my answer. Although the spotting has now stopped which is strange, I'm still preparing for AF. Happened just before my PT session this morning and I cried about it in the gym loos - PT session was the longest hour ever. It's a couple of days earlier than expected but overnight plane travel threw my cycle off and meant I missed a couple of vital temp days around ov time. At least DH and I have an excellent fuck it weekend planned. Going to wait until AF puts in a proper appearance then make HSG appointment. It's all just so fucking tedious.

Pug Flowers
I'm so sorry. Take some time out but know we are here if you need us. Look after yourself

Alexia Flowers
Don't know if you're lurking still but be kind to yourself. Thinking of you- we are here if you want to talk

Tonks87 · 12/01/2017 09:39

I'm so very sorry pug. Take care of yourself. Flowers

MissyJones83 · 12/01/2017 09:37

pug gutted to hear your news sending lots of positive vibes please keep in touch and let us know how you are getting on and if you are uncomfortable I would try to get in and see your doc just to get things moving it must be such a worry Flowers

Pugmummy87 · 12/01/2017 09:22

I spoke with EPU, as I'm still so early on they won't offer a scan yet which I thought would be the case. They were very lovely but advised to monitor bleeding and call back if it gets worse/pain worsens. Call back next week if bleeding stays as it is and then they will investigate further.
I'm just starting to feel crampy so am preparing for it to get heavier now.

Wishing you all well, you all deserve to get your babies so much. Hopefully one day I will get mine. Xxx

kavanaughkj · 12/01/2017 09:14

I can only echo the others, Pug - I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. Take all the time you need - we're here when you need us.

Eva30 · 12/01/2017 09:06

So sorry pugFlowersCakeBrew

Miranda234 · 12/01/2017 08:41

So sorry pug Flowers thinking of you

kwick · 12/01/2017 08:24

jam Flowers it is good to get closure. It sounds like your Grannie had a good innings.
It does upset me that none of my grandparents will ever hold my baby... shit crying on the bus is not a good look!
I kinda wish I had got a wriggle on about 15 years ago!!!

pug Flowers I am so very sorry. Take all the time you need - we will be here for you when you are ready to return.
And what hep said - I had a MC last April. Take the time you need to grieve and rest.

Londonjam · 12/01/2017 08:02

So very sad to hear this pug 😞 sending you strength and hugs my love, please look after yourself 💐💐💐

HepKestrel · 12/01/2017 07:30

pug so sorry for you. Take a break. And come back when you are ready. You and Alexia are stronger than you may think you are. Flowers

Just want to add that some of grads have had MC in the past. So it's crap but it's just a stumble on your journey to being the fantastic mother's you both deserve to be.

We will be here if you need us.

Hippychic79 · 12/01/2017 07:24

Pug - I don't know what to say other than I echo what others are saying and that I'm sending you love and hugs xxx

Alexia - again I don't know what to say other than echo what others are saying and also sending you lots of love and hugs xxx

miwelaisjacydo · 12/01/2017 07:08

Pug hope you get answers soon. Fx for you xxxx

miwelaisjacydo · 12/01/2017 07:07

Alexia 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐 am so sorry.

FXSkip · 12/01/2017 07:05

Ouch pyjamas that's rough. I'm usually up at 5am but since my mc I have barely got up before 8 😭

pug I am so so sorry, it's such an awful feeling waiting for the inevitable, I know. Trust me when I say you will get through this and the experience will make you stronger. Take all the support you need, take time to grieve and rest.

Pugmummy87 · 12/01/2017 06:30

Thank you all for your kind words. I will be ringing the EPU when they open this morning. Bleeding has increased overnight and is a bit clotty, a frer this morning with fmu has a squinted of a bfp so I know deep down that it's all over.
I will let you all know what EPU say/do, but I think I will probably be taking a break from mn for a while. I am devastated.

Pyjamas81 · 11/01/2017 22:32

So sorry to hear about your worry pug - I hope you get answers soon and have all my fx for you 💐

Am on 12dpo and was still in bad mood this morning - although still not sure whether it's impending af or hating my job. Probably both. No other symptoms other than a slightly heavy feeling in uterus area, but that's probably af getting ready to drop kick me again. Wish Saturday would just hurry the fuck up so I can either celebrate with DH or try and enjoy our fuck it day.

Have personal training session at 6.30am tomorrow - brutal... 😫
