SQUARE ONE'RS TO GRADUATES! Morale & energy is low, but we will not be beaten, BFPs WILL be achieved in this here thread!

Brilliant news @physicskate so happy for you. I found no matter what you find out you're having you feel a momentary disappoint that you're not having the opposite sex then it goes .. I was a little disappointed I wasn't having a girl but ecstatic having a boy at same time... very strange feeling. When they're here it makes no difference does it

This is all you deserve. I'm not surprised you're emotional. What a long journey you have been on xx

So we've just found out that we're having a little girl!!! Not sure my husband isn't a teeny weeny bit disappointed - but thrilled she's healthy!!! I keep getting weirdly emotional!

@physicskate , good to hear everything is going well for you! Really pleased!
@radderss , how are you getting on? Thanks for asking. In my 2 cycle post MC. And in 2ww now. Still doing acupuncture and reflexology, every week! Reflexologist gave me rose crystal yesterday to put beside my bed. I read about it last night and apparently rose crystals enhance fertility. And I ordered a crystal fertility bracelet. I'm throwing everything and anything into this and hopefully soon enough will have my BFP!

I'm good. Had my 16 week appointment yesterday and heard the heartbeat... I've told my new (part time) job and they've been really good about it. Most of my friends know now.

I really want a massive bump. I feel like I worked so so so hard for so long for this that I want that badge. Not quite showing yet - just look a bit fatter round the middle. Need to figure out maternity clothes in the near future as very little fits!!

Awww a little boy, they are so cuddly.

Congratulations.

@physicskate how are you getting on?

We are all good at this end. My daughter is almost 6 now and has just started year 2 at school (her last year in this school as they have a junior school) and J is almost 1! I can't believe it is almost a year since he came into our lives, I cannot remember a time without him. He almost makes me feel broody for number 3!!!

Hi @Tee4me sorry about the massive delay.

I've been ok thank you - I'm currently in my first proper cycle and thing I'm ovulating today. So we shall see what this months rings.

How many weeks are you now ? How exciting that you're having another boy

@physicskate how are you doing ??

@Russkispy hope you're ok too lovely

@Tee4me that's fantastic! And congratulations on another boy! Glad all is going well!
As fo me , Been using clearblue advanced digital OPK, got static face on CD18 (stayed for 48 hours). Never had it that late in a cycle. But maybe with MC, my cycle is messed up this time? Our first TTC after MC. So not sure how long this cycle will be then?! Around 3-4dpo now. Never been a POAS girl and will just wait for AF. Fingers crossed it never arrives!

Sorry to hear your story radderss.
Just awful especially when you feel sick like that. The highs and lows are just awful being a woman ttc. Just not fair. Lots of love 💕

Physics - I'm so pleased to see scan with bubba. Waves like the queen 😂 your Royal baby. You must be so pleased 😁

I was at a hen do the weekend and I felt rubbish, was being sick, tired, nausea... so how I felt last time being pregnant. Have been for past couple of weeks. So I did not expect to wake up bleeding on Tuesday morning.
Anyway went a and e, they eventually scanned me in radiology not epu after 4 hours of being there. They still wouldn't confirm it was a definite miscarriage - threatened miscarriage they said - as they don't take the fact you've seen the heartbeat on a none nhs scan as fact. So they still send you home thinking maybe you've got your dates wrong. I said to the gynaecologist, we saw a heartbeat now we don't, it's 3 weeks behind on growth, I'm bleeding and you're still actually telling me there's a chance here. Stupid nhs protocol.

Thankfully later that day I started to bleed very heavily and think I passed the baby. I had to go hospital though as I was bleeding ridiculously.
They want to scan me a week today to check that I've passed everything.

I woke up last night in excruciating pain so was awake 3-6.
Be glad when it's all over !

Regards falling quickly, yes I seem to but it doesn't give me comfort as such in some ways I feel I put more pressure on myself to fall quick again. Just need to try and not get stressed over it. It doesn't mean it's going to happen quick again. I would hope so but we shall see.
I generally feel ok in myself about the whole thing but I don't know if it's going to hit me when I have to get on with life back at work etc I've been in a little bubble at home, sleeping, being with my little boy. When you have to go back to normal activities but no Baby I think that will be difficult x

I feel as ok as I can about it. It was a bit of a whirlwind when it happened I had to go to hospital twice and lost any dignity I had left!
We caught the month we decided to try so it all happened quicker than we ever expected anyway. Maybe it was too good to be true.

Do you know if the nhs offer reassurance scans if fall pregnant again and have miscarried ?
I'm going to ask at my scan next week.

I think the hardest thing for me is to think that this future that we had planned and this little Baby has been flushed down the toilet. It's so mad how quick things can change.

Key is not to think about it too much I suppose. What's meant to be will be and we move on !

It has also helped having been on this thread and obviously all your stories we see how common this is what can happen how it could be worse etc etc it makes you not take anything for granted xx

@radderss , so sorry to hear it! It's rubbish feeling now but it will get better. I was in the same situation but getting stronger each day 💐💐

Very sorry to hear about that @radderss. Be kind to yourself.

Aw physics that's beautiful !! So happy for you.

I went in hospital yesterday with a miscarriage. Was 9 weeks but baby measuring 6 with no heartbeat. Been feeling rubbish with pregnancy symptoms for 3 weeks so obviously my body didn't click the baby had died. We had an early scan at 7 weeks which showed 6 weeks and heartbeat. So Baby must have died not long after that scan.

@physicskate , beautiful! So so pleased for you!!

@Tee4me and @physicskate such wonderful posts to read. Absolutely delighted for you both!

So I cried tears of joy (like a big hormonal baby) when we saw this today. It's measuring slightly ahead at the moment. It waves like the queen and heartbeat seen again.

I'm honestly thinking of investing in one of these machines to see the little thing every day.

So pleased to hear from everyone. kate, so pleased with the scan and sickness. Also Tee! Such good news at last.

Sorry to hear about you Russ, spoilt your holiday too. Hopefully you are on road to recovery and that good news is just around the corner for you. Xx

Wow parney! Two babies 🤩
Glad you are doing well.xx

@Tee4me thank you for sharing your scan picture! Good to hear all is progressing well!!
@physicskate good luck with the scan on Monday!!

Oh @Tee4me that scan is just amazing!!!

I've got a scan Monday at 9 + 3. I feel awful. And it's fantastic.
