Jesus Christ someone tape my hands together - Prego Tests

Oh muggle I am so so sorry you poor thing it is so awful hope you are getting loads of love and support at home xxxx

Hi all.. looks like I’m back (no offence to you guys). Found out on Tuesday that I’m in the process of miscarrying which is the worst feeling considering that today I’d have been 12 weeks. Trying not to be too down about it all and be positive that I can get pregnant, and don’t want to wait too long before we try again or else I will talk myself out of it!

How are you all? Has there been any more BFP’s?

I hate being back after time off - everything seems so much harder.

I am liking the chilled vibes pink I am back at work tomorrow too after taking a few days off will be a shock to the system! X

I still have ten days of the 2WW to go ticktockticktock. Any useful tips to keep me distracted?

Thus far I have been relying on MN and The Big Bang Theory to get me through, but ten days sounds like a looooong time.

On a more positive note, back to work after half term on Monday, and I usually don't even have time to pee never mind think about TTC.

I'm still lurking.. but I am trying my hardest not to stress too much over tracking etc as I'm fed up enough as it is!

Have my second reflexology session next week.. which is good. Dont even know what CD im on.. I "think" its 9? trying not to be so on the ball with it and just DTD every other day, haha

Today is CD35. But my last cycle was 43 days, and luteal phase was 17 days. Today is 17DPO.

I mean this is all in theory. It could all be bollocks, I might not even be ovulating, but my charts tend to make it look like I might do. I kind of have to do things on that basis and try and be optimistic about it.

Well keep us posted even if it is no news hopefully we can distract you through the dreaded 2WW, what CD does that make you jem?xx

Same on the no news front! Same niggles down below but no flow.

I've kept that deal with myself so far and haven't done that second test.

Mostly feeling like it's just a late period/long cycle.

I'm still hanging about cookie but haven't been posting because I have nothing to report - unfortunately!

2 days dpo, so just starting 2WW on cycle #3. How you getting on?

How is everybody doing? This thread has gone so quiet hope you all ok x

I think you're allowed to do reassurance tests. Especially as you know you've got something to look for. :)

It's still a little early but I managed to hold out until this morning. FRER says no. Bought a pack of two so made a deal with myself that I could do one early, but I've got to try and save the second one until Saturday. If AF hasn't arrived by then.

Well we aren't renowned for our will power on this thread are we?! I managed not to test again today (I may have done 7 so far but just feeling quite anxious)x

Not yet. Had the same pains and sensations most of yesterday and it's still there this morning. But then my temp dropped a little again this morning.

Not gonna lie, I told myself I'd wait until I was late, but I'm itching to test.

jem did the bitch, I mean witch arrive?x

Am good thanks did a digital and got 2-3 this morning I was so worried it would go back to not pregnant like last time so feeling a bit more confident and booked a midwife appt for when I will be 7 weeks. Boobs a bit sore and not sure if I am imagining some fleeting Nausea or not but eating as normal (plus some)
How are you all doing? Hope you are planning to drink my share of the wine for me xx

cookie how are you feeling? Any early pregnancy symptoms?

cookie how are you feeling? Any early pregnancy symptoms?

No worries, its not a downer. You're right. Especially as I took it harder than I previously have last time. I'm not getting my hopes up too high, honest.

I'm 10DPO so yeah, AF isn't that far away.

I read on another thread that it's the same hormones that cause both early pregnancy symptoms and PMS. So if it's not my month and it is just PMS, then I'm taking it as consolation that at least my hormones must be doing something.

Was it one of those glasses that can fit a whole bottle x

@JemDoughnut thanks for the words of encouragement. it’s difficult because in reality I know full well that it “can” take up to a year… but there is the stubborn part of me which is fighting this and basically going.. WHY NOT NOW?! I WANT IT NOW! I need to learn the power of patience.. and having faith that my body will eventually do as it is told. Someone told me the other day that if you surround yourself with negative thinking (like I’m never going to get pregnant or maybe my body is barren) then we are actually self-sabotaging ourselves. The body wont grow something in the womb if it feels threatened. So now im thinking.. great.. I’m screwed! Haha

@ Cookie1831 Oh don’t worry! I have the biggest glass of white wine possible last night in a moment of “screw it! I’m having wine!” haha

I have just booked myself in for a reflexology session on Saturday. I am a little nervous as can be funny about people touching my feet.. but Im not as scared of it as I am of needles.. which is why I thought about this over acupuncture.

I then have another session booked on Tuesday at a different place to see if they have any options for me too. (If im not careful, most of my wages will be going on holistic treatments to boost fertility!!)

Not to put a downer on things @JemDoughnut but I don’t want you falling into the same trap as I did this month. I had lots of different symptoms such as weird cramps a few days before expected period due date.. my lower back was killing me for about 4 days. Me being me… I assumed it was pregnant related.. If it wasn’t for my BBT just dropping.. I would have felt even more upset about my cycle starting. I guess my BBT kinda warned me…

Saying that It depends where you are in your cycle? When is your period due?

Temp went back up by another 0.2, not as high as it was but above the coverline.

Other than that I don't know what's going on. All sorts of random pains coming and going, some pretty PMS-like unfortunately. And the worst lower back pain...the combination is making it impossible to sit comfortably at my desk. Part of me is expecting to see AF by the end of the day.

Ah pink my lovely am so sorry, it is so so shit and it isn't fair at all but like jem said with her very good words of encouragement actually, hopefully you are now statistically more likely to falling pregnant in the next few months. Give yourself time to have a really good cry and hen do something you couldn't have done if preggo (mine usually involves wine and soft cheese). I don't know you but you all seem so lovely that bloody stork better have some absolutely amazing babies lined up for you xxx

You're right, you shouldn't, and you're not.

You've been given disappointing news at a time when you're emotionally sensitive,. Give yourself a break, grab that stereotypical bar of chocolate, and have your other half take care of you.

They say it can take the average couple up to a year to conceive, right? Well it sucks to not be one of the lucky ones that it happens for straightaway, but if it's going to take a year then you're halfway there, and if it happens before then it's an early bonus!

Can you tell that providing words of encouragement is not one of my stronger skills?

Temp dipped yesterday morning but I thought, one temp, whatevs, it'll go back up tomorrow. Tomorrow is here and it only went back up by 0.1, to what my temp was mostly at before ovulating. So I've wasted my lunch break Googling '2 day implantation dip' and 'temp drop still pregnant' so I can stay in denial a little longer.

day 35.. and AF arrived in full force this morning. I knew it was coming because I had so many signs.. but actually seeing it here just made me sob. My other half found me in the bathroom.

onto month 7 we go... :(

I know i shouldnt.. but really feeling like a failure right now.
