Thou shall not tell everyone to eat Yams

You’re welcome dude. Good luck with the results x

@TheGrumpySquirrel Thanks for posting what the doc said. I guess its in the normal range then. I had my son 19 years ago! so not sure if that makes a difference. Ive got until tuesday and ill get all my hormonal blood results. They've done progesterone, testosterone and thyroid and a couple of others i can't remember.
@Bubblegum89 the moon cup is great. It takes a while to get used to it but i would never go back to tampons now. I do a lot of heavy weight training in the gym and i can just forget about my period. I couldn't do that with tampons. Once its in it stays put.

It’s so heartbreaking and unfair @SoozC, take your time, look after yourself x

@SoozC Im so sorry to read your news. Theres no right way to get through it just do what feels right for you and get as many cuddles as possible and don't go back to work too quickly. Its so fucking sad and my heart really goes out to you. It does get easier after a little while but right now just be gentle with yourself and let your other half wrap you up in cotton wool for a bit xxxxx thinking of you.

@Bubblegum89 I would get a mooncup then you can see what is really happening in terms of amount and flow timing. Best of luck x

God sooz am so so sorry; take the time you need physically and mentally. I'm sorry it's such horrible timing, it must be really tough. Is there anyone else you can talk to in person? Take care of yourself xx

It's absolutely awful to go through Sooz but you will find the strength in you to get through this. With my first MC I didn't process what had happened to be right away, obviously I knew and understood but I didn't grieve or allow myself time to come to terms with it properly. This was partly intentional, returning to work and normal life less than a fortnight later and the other reason was that 6 weeks later my mom was diagnosed with Leukaemia. I don't think I really dealt with my loss emotionally until I'd lost my Mom, my mind was too busy with other things.
I wouldn't recommend this as a coping strategy! I'd suggest marking the important days like when you would have been due, maybe plant a rose or something in your garden to remember your little one by.

Thanks everyone. I am heartbroken but aware that we need to get back into ttc asap. Just hope my body gets rid of the little that's left fairly soon, doc said there's not enough for them to do anything, just have to wait.

It's going to be a pretty shit Christmas this year. To think I even bought a subtle pregnancy t-shirt to wear over the festive season. And we were supposed to have our 12-week scan on DH's birthday. We are both so sad. How do you cope?!

@SoozC so sorry to hear that ☹️ was hoping none of the BFPers on here would return.

Oh sooz that is so shit. I’m sorry to hear xx

Oh @SoozC I’m so so sorry, that’s utterly shitty for you

Oh Sooz I'm so so sorry to read this sad news

@sooz I'm so sorry, what sad news

Oh no Sooz I’m really sorry to hear that xx

Sooz, I am so, so sorry to hear that. Shit news, you are most entitled to rant and be fucked off, I so wish this wasn’t your news. Hugs.

That’s good about your periods grumpy I’ve had a baby too but 9 years ago. My blood doesn’t come out quickly though, it starts and stops and there’s no constant flow which is why I think something is wrong.

Oh sooz I’m so sorry :(

Oh Sooz

That’s fucking shit. I’m so sorry.

Shit Sooz

That’s fucking awful news.

I’d offer hugs, if it would help.

Thinking of you x

So sorry @SoozC

Hi guys, I'm back as I had a scan today that confirmed I've miscarried. If that doesn't allow me to be fucked off and have a good moan I don't know what will.

Hood to hear GP had been useful Grumpy. DH is not my DD’s Dad either so GP are testing him too!

Update post GP - he doesn’t think my periods are concerning as I’ve had a baby (okay 13 years ago!) so cervix is going to be more open which means the blood comes out faster (I suspect mooncup also opens things up a bit). The fact that I am getting a decent amount of red blood is good. Half a cup to a full cup on the heavy day then 1/4 to 1/2 a cup on second day - I think that’s normal (it appears much less in the cup than it would on pads/tampons). This month there was much less brown crap after day 2, which is good (this is my 7th period post MC).

I had been on the POP since dd until starting ttc and only had 2 periods after stopping pill before I got pregnant which ended in MMC in May. So I don’t really know what my post pill period normal is to be fair.

GP thinks I am ovulating fine but wants to confirm with day 24 progesterone bloods and they will also check thyroid function and a ton of other things. But the first thing we are doing is sperm analysis (DH is not dd dad) as this may well be the issue.

Ok so I had a peak opk on wednesday lunchtime. Dtd wedneday night.
Various sites suggest dtd daily on day of peak and the three days after.
We’re going to dtd last night but knackered and never managed it. Dh suggested we wake up early this morning instead. He woke and tried to wake me but as I’d been wide awake for no reason between 1.30 and 3.30am I wouldn’t wake up.

Do you reckon I’ve missed it? Or will tonight and tomorrow suffice?

I’m so pissed off with myself.

micro I’ve always liked the idea of my wee turning pink if I conceive so I could tell immediately!

I’m on day 3 of AF and have the opposite problem, super heavy for the first three days then starts to tail off. Only upside of no BFP this month is that my last three cycles have been the same length ( 27 days) which is nice - DH has also been coerced into zinc and Vit C supplements and is off for his GP apt on the 4th!
