🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

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.

Blondcat · 16/06/2018 18:23

@pumpkinpatch000 🐧🐧🐧 huddle hugs and sorry you are going through it all again.

DaisyMay25 · 16/06/2018 17:31

I'm so so sorry @PumpkinPatch000 I hope you're taking care of yourself Thanks

ek78 · 16/06/2018 17:13

@pumpkinpatch000 I am so so sorry. It is devastating news. I know how it feels to leave this thread and have to come back and start over but we are here for you. 🐧🐧🐧

RedRobin7 · 16/06/2018 16:57

@Lovemysparkle I hope you're having an amazing day!!

@DaisyMay25 Same here, TTC is taking over my life too. I'm constantly thinking about it! I wish I wasn't though as it's so unhealthy. Trying to keep busy whilst I'm in the TWW.

@Newbie21 I'm so sorry for your loss. Welcome to the group. I hope you find some comfort here.

@HidCat Glad you're feeling optimistic. It does help when you're in the right frame of mind. I totally understand why you want to be pregnant by August. My due date was September and I too hope to be pregnant by then. To be honest, I really hope to get a positive next week to help me deal with my sister having her baby who is due in two weeks time. I'm so scared I'm going to hold my nephew and cry. I'm going to love him so so much but worried my feelings will make me look bad.

@Boboelephant I'm so so sorry. It's been such a rollercoaster and an emotional week for you. I hope your DH is looking after you and understands how you're feeling right now. As @KnitKitty said, allow yourself time to feel shitty and drown your sorrows but then you have to keep going, even though it feels like you can't right now.

@TedLife Sorry to hear you have cystitis - hope that clears up quickly for you. Fx for you now you're in the TWW! I'm testing on Tuesday with a FRER but I am tempted to test with an IC on Monday... although, previously, on the day I had a positive digital CB the IC was negative so I'm not sure there's much logic to using one of those anyway but I'll probably still do it.

@PumpkinPatch000 I recognise your name but I'm not sure from what board. I really don't know what to say other than I'm so sorry for the pain you're in right now, it's absolutely heartbreaking. I've only had one MMC but I understand what it's like to see that little heart beating. Life is so cruel and unfair and leaves you asking so many questions. I hope you've got an amazing OH and family and friends who are supporting you again. We are all here for you too. 🐧❤️

YellowDaffodils86 · 16/06/2018 16:11

@Lovemysparkle gappy wedding day, take time to drink it in, its goes by in a blur!

@PumpkinPatch000 im devastated for you, its just unfair and cruel. I could say a thousand words but they probably wouldn't help that much right now. Thinking of you and sending hugs. Xx

@Boboelephant AF nasty old bitch. Yet another month down but down feel down, doesn't mean it wont happen! By Christmas you could be fat and glowing!!
Keep going, we are all behind you. Sending you hugs. Xx

Cakelaur · 16/06/2018 16:02

@Boboelephant I'm totally gutted for you babe! AF is such a bitch! To tease you like that!! Massive hugs your way.

@PumpkinPatch000 I'm so sorry. Like the others have all said it's just heartbreaking. And to have seen a heartbeat at 6 weeks. Such a tragedy. Words can't fix it, but my thoughts are with you. Xx

HidCat · 16/06/2018 14:52

@Boboelephant I'm so sorry Hun. Hope you're ok.

@PumpkinPatch000 I am so, so sorry you're having to go through this again. I don't even know what to say. Lots of love to you. 🐧🐧🐧 Give yourself time to grieve.

@Boboelephant I'm gutted for you :-( cheese and fizz is a great idea - be kind to yourself

@PumpkinPatch000 that's the most awful experience, didn't know you from before but so sorry you find yourself back on this thread

@Lovemysparkle happy wedding day - enjoy every second x

@HidCat so glad you're feeling positive 🤞🏻for you and enjoy JKS!

maxiflump1 · 16/06/2018 13:12

@PumpkinPatch000 so so sorry to see you back here. So unfair that it's happened to you twice. Sending you lots of love and positive thoughts.

Boboelephant · 16/06/2018 13:00

Oh @PumpkinPatch000 I'm so so sorry. I just don't know what to say. It's so terribly unfair. We try so hard to get pregnant and when this happens it's so awful. Sending you so much love and I hope you and DH can lean on each other. We're always here for you too.

@L1zz13 thankyou lovely ❤

L1zz13 · 16/06/2018 12:45

@Boboelephant ❤️

Thinking of you lovely lady. Xx

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/06/2018 12:41

@PumpkinPatch000 I don't even know what to say! Fuck that's terrible. It sounds a bit like mine, saw a good hb a couple of weeks before and the last private scan measured them at 8+2 when we got our crappy news. It's so hard when you think maybe you can relax this time and it all goes to shit anyway. I really hope you guys are taking care of each other. This whole thing is just so, so fucking tough

PumpkinPatch000 · 16/06/2018 12:31

Hello Ladies,

In the nicest possible way I thought I’d never have to come back to this thread but the worst has happened and I am broken all over again.

We went for a private scan on Tuesday at 8 weeks 2 days and were told there was no heart beat and it had stopped that same day. It was a huge shock as two weeks previously it was there.

I’m finding it much harder to deal with this time after it being the second time and from seeing a very clear picture on the scan.

I don’t know what to do really.

So sorry if this is upsetting for anyone to read, that isn’t my intention x

Boboelephant · 16/06/2018 12:09

Thanks @KnitKitty, @DaisyMay25 and @UnicornsandRainbows1. It's a totally crap feeling but I know I'll feel better in a few days. I will be enjoying some wine and cheese don't you worry! 🥂🧀 xx

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 16/06/2018 11:09

@Boboelephant Oh no I was so hoping this was it for you! Absolutely gutted.

@lovemysparkle Have a beautiful day, lovely. I hope it's everything you want it to be ❤

DaisyMay25 · 16/06/2018 10:06

@Boboelephant oh no! Eat lots of tasty soft cheese with lots of wine! I also look forward to my Brie when AF starts haha

KnitKitty · 16/06/2018 09:55

Hugs Boboelephant. Give yourself a day or two to feel crap and then dust yourself off again. Make sure you do nice things for the next few days and focus on everything good in your life if you can. It will happen when the time is right. xxx

Boboelephant · 16/06/2018 09:44

Afraid it's not a good update from me ladies. My body was just getting my hopes up one last time but af arrived properly today. 🙁 Thankyou so much for all your support!!

@Cakelaur i wish it was a better outcome but hopefully I'll join you one day!
@YellowDaffodils86 I liked your analogy! Things are sounding positive for you so hope Tuesday brings you some good news.
@zarala thankyou. I hope today goes well. These things can be very bittersweet.
@Pancakes7 I'm glad to hear you've signed up for it. Hope it helps!
@BabynameEdie and @weasledee thanks for the support!!
@KnitKitty thanks hun. Hope if there is anything left your body let's go asap so you can start afresh.
@TedLife sorry about the cystitis! 😣
@Lovemysparkle have the most beautiful day today!!!! ❤❤❤ Thankyou for your beautiful words, you've really touched me.
@DaisyMay25 I hope it's your month hun!!
@Daffodil77 thankyou so much for coming back to say those beautiful words. That has really helped me today ❤❤ I hope you are doing well and all is great with bubs!!
@Jessabean thankyou.
@Newbie21 Thankyou and I'm so sorry for your loss.
@HidCat hope this is your month too. Glad you are feeling more positive and DH is on board.
@Blondcat fingers crossed for you too!

Blondcat · 16/06/2018 09:19

Morning ladies

@newbie21 welcome to the group and sorry for your loss.

@lovemysparkle have a lovely wedding day.

@hidcat glad you are feeling positive that is really hard some days so great to embrace when you do. Fx for your bfp soon.

Approx 7/8dpo here and not feeling a thing no sore boobs, no twinges just nothing. Oh well at least I am not symptom spotting Grin.

HidCat · 16/06/2018 08:37

@Newbie21 welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss. We're all here for you to support you and get you through TTC again.

@Lovemysparkle have an amazing day today! 🤞 for a honeymoon baby!

Feeling optimistic this month. Hubby is well and truly on board and we're enjoying the extra sex 😆. Hopefully we can keep this going until we get our bfp. Would really love to be pregnant again by my original August due date which ironically I think would be the period /bfp due date if we aren't successful this month. I realise now that my MC was 5 months ago. It's gone so fast. Makes me a little sad but at the same time I've made peace with it and I'm looking forward to the future.

Hello new joiners!

Sparkle have the best day!

Newbie21 · 16/06/2018 07:55

I should also say that this seems an amazingly supportive group. Good luck to you all and I will try and keep up with what is going on. The TTC rollercoaster is so hard and especially after a MC.

I feel like I obsess about my cycle, about getting pregnant. When I see pregnant ladies I'm so happy for them but have that pang that it should be me with the bump now. It's lovely to know that there is a place we can all go to talk about our progress, our highs and lows.

@boboelephant - wishing you all the luck. Fingers crossed this is your month.

sweetpea0318 · 16/06/2018 07:42

@daffodil77 what lovely words!
@lovemysparkle enjoy your day! Hope it's as amazing as you hope it will be!
@newbie21 welcome and sorry for your loss

Newbie21 · 16/06/2018 07:35

Can I join this group

Age 37
TTC #2
DS 22 months
MMC April - 11 weeks 5 days - D&C 12 weeks

I'm now on cycle day 22 following first period since D&C. I didn't track anything as surgeon advised preferably to wait 2 cycles but didn't matter too much if I did get pregnant. I have dull cramps and cycle usually 28 days so wishful thinking that this is early pregnancy cramps.

@jessabean - is that true the Hyperfertile thing? I have never heard that but could be applicable to me as fell pregnant immediately with my son and it was the first time of trying with #2 and I fell straight away but had the MMC.
