@mrslcw welcome, I’m so sorry for your loss and that you find yourself here but we are a friendly bunch. Sending hugs Flowers

MrsLCW · 16/05/2018 22:21

Hi ladies, I'm new to this site so hope I'm doing this right, but this is my first month of TTC after losing my little girly at 20 weeks back in Feb. This followed from an early MMC back in Aug too.

My hubby and I are both still completely heartbroken, but we now have some answers and plans in place for next time. I won't lie, I have my hopes up for falling pregnant quickly this time round, as it happened first cycle with both other pregnancies... but I'm most likely setting myself up for a fall!

I wish you all the best of luck, and look forward to chatting with you all x

Boboelephant · 16/05/2018 21:33

@dulwichdays you're only 5 days behind me. Hopefully it's our month!! Your chart looks great so far. Lovely high temps and very clear ovulation. 👍
@HidCat that's tough. Big penguin huddle for you too. 🐧
Thanks @strawberrye. #cheeseaway 🤣
@Anyday88 I use ff too. I've also used glow but I don't like it as much since they updated it.

L1zz13 · 16/05/2018 21:33

I like cheese. Bit of Davidstowe on a garlic cracker. 🧀
@Boboelephant ❤️ with a good bottle of red.
🐧's Cheese and Wine party anyone? Xx

😜@zarala - well I did get a bfp but not a real one. No worries babe.

dulwichdays · 16/05/2018 21:28

Thanks @Cakelaur - it’s good to have someone remind you of that
Glad you think the chart is looking like it should. It’s a relief to know that I’m ovulating and my cycles are back to normal. I’m not planning to test before AF, I personally can’t face the BFN and then not having AF to confirm! Have no FRER in the house so I can’t be tempted!

@dulwichdays you're only a couple days behind @BabynameEdie And @Boboelephant And @YellowDaffodils86 babe!!! Everyone's at different stages. And your chart looks great. Well placed BD!! And temps are on the rise!! I think it looks good so far! When are you testing? 🤞🏻

@Anyday88 I used fertility friend to track bbt temps. I like it cos it's simple and without frills and for £29 a year (ish) you get a complete analysis which I love!!!

@HidCat sorry about the pic and memory. But don't delete it. I always find its good to keep something. I have a little envelope in my bedside table with my scan pic (that had no heartbeat) and the notes from the scan. I also had a bump pic (or a bloat pic haha) and I printed it and put it in the envelope. I never look at it but I like having it there. My MC is very real still and I don't want that baby to be forgotten. But everyone is different.

strawberrye · 16/05/2018 21:04

@PassTheAfterEights oh I'm so sorry hun get to the centre of the huddle

@boboelephant you're not an old cheese in the fridge! I'm still here too! AF arrived a couple of days ago so no fertility cape for me first month after MC. I'm on holiday without DH over my next fertile week as well I think, so unlikely to get a BFP next month too! So I'll cheese away with you Smile

HidCat · 16/05/2018 21:00

@Anyday88 I use Ovia. I like the fact I can record lots in there but it's really simple to see the key info without over analysing everything.

Just been skimming through photos as it's DS's Birthday tomorrow and stumbled on a pic I took before my MC, labelled 11weeks. I'd felt confident enough at that point to start taking and recording pics but I had my first bleed of miscarriage less than 24 hrs later. Feels like forever ago now but still brings it all back. Forgot I even had the photo. I don't want to delete it as it's all I have left of the pregnancy but I know it's going to suck seeing that in future.

dulwichdays · 16/05/2018 20:59

Congratulations all the new BFP’s today. Best of luck to you all.

@Boboelephant I can totally relate to what you’ve said. I too feel that left behind feeling especially as the months tick by since my MC. I’m also out of sink with a lot of you, coming up to 7DPO and weirdly that makes me feel a little out the loop as well.

This is the first month of taking my BBT - would the chart experts mind taking a look for me? I’ll see if I can attach it....

Thanks @BabynameEdie. Was just saying to DH it's nice to have all your support whilst waiting to test!
@PassTheAfterEights get in the middle of the huddle hun! 🐧🐧🐧 I'm so sorry. Yep testing tomorrow. Not sure how I feel...

Anyday88 · 16/05/2018 20:41

Ladies, tell me which app you use to track your cycles please? and why you like them 😊

BabynameEdie · 16/05/2018 20:41

Come in to the huddle @PassTheAfterEights it's snug and safe in the middle 🐧🤗
Hugs to you xxx

HidCat · 16/05/2018 20:34

@PassTheAfterEights it's awful trying to protect others feelings when all you want to do is open up to them. I hope you're ok. Lots of 🐧 hugs for you!

PassTheAfterEights · 16/05/2018 20:21

Old cheese solidarity @boboelephant 💕 will test tomorrow. Feel I already know the outcome. Will you test?

90 mins on phone to bff who had 12 week scan yesterday (boy!) for a much much wanted and difficult IVF conception. Genuinely utterly over the moon for her but felt a wobble for the first time. Have prayed and prayed not to be very pregnant while she was going through IVF, not that she'd have begrudged it in any way. Had miscarriage a week after she did, didn't say anything as she was in much worse bits than me, now feel like a shit for shutting her out and know she'll be so angry when I tell her.

This whole fking thing is a bitch from hell. Tear stained rage filled waddle to centre of huddle please.

BabynameEdie · 16/05/2018 20:14

@YellowDaffodils86 oh sorry didn't catch up properly. I had stark white bfn at 10dpo too. Do not panic! Xxx

BabynameEdie · 16/05/2018 20:13

@YellowDaffodils86 thank you thank you 💕😍 am still very tentative about it. It doesn't feel strong enough and I don't feel like I have any symptoms at all. Just taking it a day (an hour?!) at a time and we'll see where it gets to. When are you testing? You're so strong willed, you and @Boboelephant ! Xx

BabynameEdie · 16/05/2018 20:11

@Boboelephant I meant to say earlier but got caught up at work, that my temp dropped yesterday too, at 11dpo. It rose a tiny bit today at 12dpo. You are still in the game for this month. Wish we could all be there with you to wait for that test tomorrow. It will happen for you, either tomorrow or if not then soon and no one thinks you're old cheese 😂🧀 xxx

Primrose16 · 16/05/2018 20:01

@BabynameEdie @Lilimum4 congrats on the bfp

Boboelephant · 16/05/2018 19:58

Haha @Cakelaur! 🤣😍🐧 Thanks love. Let's hope your kid isn't going off to school and I'm still holding up the thread! 🤞 for tomorrow!!!

Cakelaur · 16/05/2018 19:39

@Boboelephant you're not left behind! You can't bloody get rid of me!!! I'll be here til you get your BFP... which for the record is gonna be this month!! I just feel it! I'm so excited for you! Cannot wait to see the test! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@YellowDaffodils86 don't worry babe. 10dpo is mega early. Good luck for the weekend. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Boboelephant · 16/05/2018 19:32

@weasledee and @YellowDaffodils86 Oh I know guys! Just a bit tough when the familiar names start disappearing. @weasledee hopefully this is your month too!
@YellowDaffodils86 good luck for the weekend.
I keep getting pain in the top of my rib cage the last couple of days. It's so uncomfortable and gets me hopeful. Stupid body signs!

YellowDaffodils86 · 16/05/2018 19:15

@Boboelephant hey you wont be left behind.
Haha, iv cracked! Mainly because this morning i spent my first hour at work feeling really sick, i was thinking of going home and assumed a caught a bug, but then it started to fade and then i was fine. I also felt a little icky when i woke up, i put it all down to tiredness.
But with that and the bfps that have happened today i thought id just see.
Big fat stark negative of course, its only 10dpo so who knows. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦‍♀️
But i will not be testing now till sat/sun.

weasledee · 16/05/2018 19:04

Hey bobo you're not left behind!! I'm still here on day 2 of AF Grin

Boboelephant · 16/05/2018 18:58

@hayleyfx and @YellowDaffodils86 thankyou so much. I am terrified as usual. It doesn't get any easier each month and whilst I am so truly happy for everyone on here that has got their bfps I'm aware of being left behind and feeling a bit like the old cheese sitting at the back of the fridge! Are you still waiting until Sat @YellowDaffodils86?

KnitKitty · 16/05/2018 18:19

Congratulations BabynameEdie and Lilimum4 Best wishes for a healthy pregnancies.

I believe I'm in my fertile week now but we have guests over until Saturday so hoping there's some strong swimmers in there from Sunday's antics in case I ovulate early. I reckon I'll ovulate sometime between Sunday to Thursday though so hopefully we'll get some BDing done in time. My dreams have been telling me I'm having a really short cycle and am ovulating early, which could be true, but I'm hoping it's not happened yet.
