A thread for all those who have suffered the loss of a much wanted baby. Affectionately know as the penguin huddle.

We'll start with a roll call as there have been so many new members lately and so many success stories that I think we've all lost track.

Congratulations rdm10!!! So happy for you, I really hope it goes smoothly. Fingers crossed for a sticky one.
Thank goodness too, I felt we all were in need of another ray of hope! Keep them coming ladies!!!

Woo hoo @rdm10 congratulations fx for a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Hopefully the start of another run of bfp's this month.

I didn’t know wether to post this or not as I know some people are having a hard time at the moment and I didn’t want to be insensitive but @KnitKitty mentioned anymore BFPs so hopefully this is the start of lots of BFPs for the group 🤞

So I was absolutely convinced af was coming due to af pain Monday-Thursday and when it still hadn’t arrived on Friday (when af was due) I thought I must be having some sort of bloodless period (mad I know but the cramps were exactly the same as af pain) still nothing this morning so took a test and was totally shocked to get a BFP!! Over the moon and terrified in equal measure.

Fx this is just the start of many more BFPs x

@boboelephant sorry this wasn’t your month. Like the others have said, take some time to wallow and feel fed up. Fx very tightly that next month is your month!
And thank you if thinking of me when I’d been a bit quiet after my moan last week.

@PumpkinPatch000 so sorry you find yourself back here. There’s nothing I can say but know we are thinking of you at this horrible time x

@Lovewinemorethanhusband af came early for me last month and without the usual warning signs. Isn’t even more of a kick in the teeth!

@Lovemysparkle hope you had the most amazing wedding day.

Hugs for those having a hard time and fx for anyone testing soon x

MrsGS76 · 17/06/2018 17:20

@Lilimum4 fingers crossed for you this month. You seem like you're really prepared! I also used the fertility gel this month - from Boots - but it's a bit of a passion killer , although we did have a laugh inserting it and the tube made a funny 'fanny farty' noise!!
I tracked my bbt but not sure how successful that was as I've not been sleeping well, wake up loads of times during night and so by the time I took my temp I hadn't slept for many hours. I tracked my temp with DD years ago but I don't remember being so specific with time and it worked!?!? Good luck and happy baby dancing 🕺 💃
@KnitKitty I'm 7DPO so I may be tempted to test sometime this week..... that's if I get signs like sore boobs etc 🤔
@Lovewinemorethanhusband Sending you a big hug!! AF sucks!! X
@Pancakes7 I am symptom spotting too, analysing everything! I think we should be the white knickers brigade as I'm looking out for implementation bleed as it should be around 8DPO? (So I've googled). Fx for you x

Claire138 · 17/06/2018 12:12

Aw @boboelephant I keep checking back on this thread to see how you’re all doing and I’m so gutted for you! I still have everything crossed for you! I actually had a think about it, because I know you tried everything this month, but why don’t you try JKS every other day? I only say this because I have heard that dtd everyday for some couples isn’t a good idea as it can almost dilute the sperm as it doesn’t have enough time to replenish. Sorry don’t mean to be prying, your DH may be totally a.ok in that department but I just had a thought seem that you have tried other ways. But most importantly just keep doing what you guys are most comfortable with and try and keep positive 💪 you can do it!!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 17/06/2018 10:32

@boboelephant fingers crossed for us for next fw !, Glad you went out and enjoyed yourself sometimes just need to let your hair down I had a few gins also !
@lilmum our bobies like to trick us I think !
Fingers crossed there will be some bfp this month !!

RedRobin7 · 17/06/2018 10:08

@Boboelephant Glad you had a good time last night! It was just what you needed.

My signs of a cold have disappeared so not sure what that was. Yesterday I did feel very achey with slight cramps but I wonder if it was just in my head. I've never had that before so far away from AF so I'm getting my hopes up. I tested this morning with an IC but of course it was too early and didn't show anything. I've got one more of those left which I'll use tomorrow. Saving my two FRERs for Tuesday and one more if needed later on!

We found out yesterday that our local Guide Dog training centre is looking for volunteers to look after a dog in the evenings and on the weekends. Trying to convince my DH we should do this as it will be a welcome distraction for us both. I've always wanted a dog and this way it's not at home on its own all day and it's only temporary for as long as the dog is in training! I also think it'll help me every time I get a BFN or if I have another MC. I know dogs are so loving and proven to reduce stress!

zarala · 17/06/2018 10:06

@PumpkinPatch000 I am so sorry to read this - it's just awful- especially after seeing a heartbeat. 😔 it is the worst. Sending lots of hugs 🐧❤️

@Boboelephant glad you went out and enjoyed yourself - you have such a strong spirit! And don't ever lose that hope! It will happen 💕

@Murderino when will you test?? Did you already? Sorry not managing to keep up with everyone !

@Lovemysparkle I hope you had the most wonderful magical day yesterday! Congratulations!!!

So my FF just pushed my ovulation date out so now i am dpo3 again! 🙄
I also now think we didn't dtd in the right times - even tho we were trying to JKS we stopped at the most crucial moments! Haha and my temps look like they've already dropped? Hmm...
Oh well time will tell! (Testing one week from today)

Boboelephant · 17/06/2018 09:58

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!! I went to a party last night and took your advice and enjoyed some fizz and my head is a bit fuzzy today! But I had fun and didn't think about my evil af so that was great!
So sorry af has come early for both of you @Limum4 and @Lovewinemorethanhusband. Onto next month for us!! 🤞🤞🤞
I feel there definitely has to be some bfps this month so good luck to all the ladies testing in the next few days! @Murderino, @RedRobin7 and @YellowDaffodils86 are you guys feeling positive?
My temp still hasn't gone below the coverline so of course a small part of me is still hoping that I'm one of those pregnant women who bleeds! Haha such an idiot. 🤦‍♀️

Pancakes7 · 17/06/2018 09:27

@Pumpkinpatch000 I am so sorry to read you've had to go through this twice. Big hugs. I really hope you're ok. Most women who have 2 mc's still go on to have a successful pregnancy. So try and keep positive.

I am symptom spotting which I know I shouldn't. It's a week since I think I ovulated. So one more well till I test (unless af comes) I am trying to think positive. I'm just hoping that I get that BFP next week. But if I get af atleast I can start tracking my cycles.

Still feel a bit wobbly today. It doesn't help that it is Fathers day today and would be my Dad's birthday on Tuesday.

Murderino · 17/06/2018 09:07

Best friend told me she's pregnant last night,

Is it ridiculous to think I'm out now as we couldn't both be in? Af due tomorrow and I'm going crackers.

strawberrye · 17/06/2018 06:13

@boboelephant sorry to hear the witch turned up, especially after you threw everything at TTC this month. Be kind to yourself hun xx

@PumpkinPatch000 so so sorry to hear your news, that's all of our worst nightmare and I'm so sad to hear it's happened to you again. Straight into the middle of the huddle for you.

hayleyfx · 16/06/2018 22:25

@Boboelephant I’m sorry to read your update, I can’t wait to see you get your BFP hopefully soon! Hope you’re enjoying some wine and a treat tonight. Sending hugs, I just hope next month brings you better news 💕

@PumpkinPatch000 I’m so sorry you find yourself back here, how awful for you. I don’t have any words that could make you feel better right now but just want to let you know we’re all here for you and thinking of you. I hope you’re okay. Sending love hun 💕

weasledee · 16/06/2018 22:16

Oh pumpkin so sorry to hear that. Look after yourself x

sweetpea0318 · 16/06/2018 22:12

Ladies I’m so sorry to hear all this sad news. @bobo this really sucks - I hope you’re doing something nice for yourself this weekend - you seem like a very strong person so please keep that strength going to carry on despite this crappiness. @pumpkin im so very sorry you find yourself here again. As others have said, words can’t change anything but we are all here for you. Hugs to you all xxx

Lilimum4 · 16/06/2018 22:07

What is with all us ladies getting AF early this time

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 16/06/2018 21:14

Well started period today 4days early ! I'm just confused with my body in general at the moment ! It all just sucks ! Big hugs to everyone one else who needs one as well

Lilimum4 · 16/06/2018 19:58

@Boboelephant hugs hun I'm sorry about AF she really is a ***
@PumpkinPatch000 I'm so sorry to hear your news sending you healing thoughts and a massive hug

KnitKitty · 16/06/2018 19:50

PumpkinPatch000 I am so, so sorry that this has happened again. Hugs. Climb right into the huddle, we're here for you. Are you getting the support you need from friends/family/healthcare staff? Please let out your feelings here if you need to, we all understand how you must be feeling and it's so unfair and awful that this has happened twice now. xxx

RedRobin7 You could use an IC on Monday just to ease the POAS need. Good luck for Tuesday, I have my fingers crossed for you.

I think we're over-due a few BFPs ladies. We need some happy news. Who is testing soon?

Lilimum4 · 16/06/2018 19:46

@MrsGS76 hi I've got some ready for this month I'm gonna give it everything this month I've got the bbt and app, digi opks and progesterone cream, preseed in the draw and DH has been made aware that he's in for a very busy 12 days and then I plan to do the pineapple when its time. ( I think I might be a little obsessed). I've done the bbt and ff the last two days but I don't think I'm getting it right because I am in the habit of stretching when I wake up but your not ment to do that lol

MrsGS76 · 16/06/2018 19:19
