TTC after pregnancy loss. Thread 17. New Year, new hope for all!

Hey @weasledee. No I haven't done another test since yesterday morning. I was expecting AF today or tomorrow so might do one Sunday if she hasn't arrived. Have you tested again? Hopefully you're not out yet!
Thanks @NoCatsHere!! I have everything crossed for you too that everything goes well.
It's crazy isn't it. We spend every secoknd wanting to happen but then are so scared when it does. I miss the blissfully ignorant days of my pregnancy with DS.
I'm so glad for this thread though. I've been obsessively googling lately (I know, I know!!) and keep coming across another thread where if anyone asks a question they all jump down their throat and tell them off. So mean!! Glad everyone here on MN is so nice!

@NoCatsHere i know, we have such a desire to get pregnant but that is when pure anxiety starts, im wakened most of night these nights with knot in stomach of something going wrong. 3 m/c's in a row so why should this one be any different ☹️

primrose sorry you have all this worry. so glad the spotting has stopped.

I am still in shock to be honest, but already every single twinge is putting me on edge. I haven't even told my OH yet...i can't quite bring myself to say it outloud in case it all goes wrong. I need to settle it in my brain first and then will tell him over the weekend.

bobo i have everything crossed for you still.

Bobo was thinking of you, have u done a test? I've had really bad cramps all night by no AF which is worse as I wish it would just start so I can move on

@Primrose16 and @keepinghopeful I have everything crossed for you. 🤞🤞 I think its a good idea to talk to your sister @Primrose. We need all the support we can get! Although hopefully it'll just be happy support this time for you.
I'm still trying to be stupidly optimistic over here and hoping I can join you this month! Having cramps today so probably not but you can hope!

@Primrose16 i know i want to feel sick as well, i had been but think im not as bad yesterday or today. Too terrified to take another test in case line has got lighter! Hopefully sickness will hit us with a whoosh soon 🤞

@Primrose16 how are you today?

@Cakelaur ugh 18 hour days!! You must be shattered. Hope you get some rest before your sexathon starts! 😉🤣

Sorry ladies...madness has struck at work and I'm on 18hr days til next week. How is everyone.
Congrats on the bfp @NoCatsHere
@Primrose16 spotting can be normal. Especially if it's around AF time as well. Easier said than done... but try not to worry yourself silly, cos that little bean needs a nice relaxed mama. I have every thing crossed for you.

Sorry to those who got shitty BFN come join me on the Xmas baby train!! We're giving it all we've got this month. We're going full pelt even if it kills us!! Haha xx

@Primrose16 I’m sorry you feel so worried, I totally understand. I would feel the exact same way. Try to stay positive though, spotting is normal especially pink or brown. I have my fingers crossed for you 💕

Thankyou @Primrose16. I'm sorry this is so stressful for you. I do hear some spotting is normal and unless it's bright red and heavy you don't need to worry. I hope it all settles down for you soon.

@primrose16 I know it’s hard to stay positive after all the shit we have been through but it’s good you haven’t had anymore and they do say it’s very common to get a bit of spotting when the egg is getting nice and cosy in your uterus.

Oh @Primrose16 are you Ok? Have you called the EPU? I think you are defo on the right thread here. I'm keeping everything crossed for you it's just a one off. ❤

Haha @Eastend2015 I hear you!!

Fingers x’d you are still in with a chance!!

Yes absolutely but tbh neither of us has felt like sexy time!! Both too knackered, grouchy and busy bitching at each other!

Thankyou @Eastend2015! I really was hopeful for a nice line today! Slap in the face when the more you squint the whiter it gets! 😦
I'm sorry to hear you are having a tough time. It's so tough when DC doesn't sleep isn't it!! Also DH with man flu! 😣
I'm sure it's so tough but I think it'll be a good idea in the end to get the tests done. Can you have a bit of protected DTD so you can still have some intimacy but without worrying about TTC?

Haha @Claire138! Probably true! I have always gotten my bfps when I'm just doing whatever and not paying attention. Wish it was that easy to switch off now! I put my pineapple in the freezer to keep it longer and turns out defrosted fresh pineapple goes a bit soggy. So the core is not a problem but the texture is a bit squidgy! 😭
Fingers crossed it's all worth it for you!
Nah my symptoms seem to have died down a bit today although my boobs are still killing me and I still have alot of cm. I've been thinking and it's possible my dates are off. I usually have a 32/33 day cycle ovulate around day 20. This month (I think due to seed cycling for the past two months) I ovulated day 17. So I just assumed I'd have the same length luteal phase but I suppose if the follicular phase shortened maybe it could change too? So actually who knows when my period is due!? Possibly a long shot but maybe I'll get lucky after all. 🤞

Congratulations nocats I’m so pleased for you and really hope everything goes well.

So sorry it’s not been your month this month bobo, I was really rooting for you.

I got ewcm yesterday and it feels wierd not to be ttc this month. We really need to go through the process with the RMC properly and no just hoping for the best next time. It’s been a tough couple of weeks tbh, DH was away for work last week and DS hasn’t been sleeping. DH is tired, full of cold and snappy now he is back- I almost preferred it when he was away (shhh!). We’ve been rowing a lot this week, I’m sure it’s because we haven’t DTD for ages. I just feel stuck in limbo but equally so scared of TTC again given our history
