He's definitely sad about it. I'm not doing as well as I thought. Just spent a good 10 minutes bawling into the baby gro I got him. Need to put it away again. It's so very fucking cruel

Mentally I felt worse before I started bleeding. Now I'm just a bit miffed but in a pms kind of way.
Physically this hurts way more than a regular period.

All I can do is move on and start my next cycle, this one wasn't meant to be. I'm going to be heading back to the gym once the bleeding stops to try lose a bit of weight. Hopefully weight loss and a much healthier diet should make a difference to my cycle length

It's a lot. And it's bright red with clots so that's the end of that. Time to order inositol for this cycle.

If they said pcos or sumthin i could handle that i think but what if they say no reason we dnt know how to help u😞

It's always best to get the ball rolling when it comes to fertility I think.
Absolutely exhausted now. Think the sun has done me in.

I think if you're temping and taking opks then 3 months without any sign of ovulation and you can visit your gp and they'll take bloods.
You're not out yet though so fingers crossed you get it.

Haha nice day for the garden tho ive been out with my sister had a really nice day think i ll try n have a bbq later to keep me busy lol. Its driving me nuts ive had loads of ewcm tmi yest and today but my temps still went down no sign of ovulation on chart on ff and STILL no positive on an opk. I think my ovaries are officially fucked up! Lol

She's been distracting me with gardening. Climbing fences the whole 9 yards. Hard to think about possibly miscarrying when you're on top of a raised border pruning bushes.
My husband has been on edge watching me though. Haven't had to lift anything heavier than a weed.

How is the ovulation wait going? Any closer to working it out?

I'm one of many kids so she did manage to get her family. The two major miscarriages were inbetween me and my older sibling and she did tell me she didn't believe she would have me until I was almost here.
I think she does understand my panic but she's not letting me wallow at all. Half helpful half not. I'm ready to cry at a moments notice today

Thats soo sad..20 wow she mustve been soo happy when she eventually had u..the only gd thing from that is she ll understand how scared ur feeling. Everythings looking gd soo far try and not worry i hope the nxt few days go in as quick as they can for yous cause she ll be nervous aswell❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 12:11

I think she would have been pleased for me if I'd only said I was pregnant. As it is she's not the sort to get excited especially as she has had so many miscarriages and I mean more than 20. Plus two major ones at 16 and 20 weeks. So she's very cautious about pregnancies in general.

Ur emotions will b all over the place with ur hormones aswell❤

Yh its gd that uve told ppl its hard bottling all that up they can try and keep ur mind busy. I think that is why it was lighter it must be strong if u can still c a line on a 3hr hold☺once u get a positive on a digital it ll help u relax aswell. Was ur mum super excited?!

OP posts:
Aph413 · 07/05/2018 11:47

Made my.husband hide the tests as todays is lighter. I'm hoping its because I went to the bathroom at 5am and tested at 8am.
Told my mum today because I'm terrified it's not sticking, just went I've managed to get pregnant but I'm not sure I'm staying that way and burst into tears.
This is a ridiculous roller coaster. Feel like I could cry at the slightest thing right now.
Also my anxiety is sky high and I'm half convinced that 7 tests with lines on are all false positives and I'm not pregnant at all. I'll feel better if I get past this Saturday as that was my predicted period by averages on fertility friend.

@Aph413 ur the best example 😂 we dnt care if our cycles are long if we get pregnant haha ❤

OP posts:
Aph413 · 06/05/2018 22:22

It'll probably help it feel much more real too.
I still feel crampy down one side but google keeps telling me its normal and I'm not getting any spotting or bleeding so it must be ok.

I think I'm the most useless example for this thread lol. I didn't manage to shorten my cycles at all.

Usually seems to be 10 weeks for booking in appointment between 12 and 13 weeks for dating scan 20 for the anomaly scan and then nothing unless you need it.
I'm so worried so I'm having the viability scan as soon as I can. Still going to wait a week or so before I book that though
