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.

@Boboelephant what parallel universe is this where we pray for nausea and sore boobs and spotty faces 🤦🏼‍♀️

Just a noticed some v. Lbcm this morning at cd22 prob 5/6 dpo - new for me fx implantation...

Also feeling so so positive lately, so even if it's not good news it's best to keep that chin up!

^ovulating today/tomorrow Blush

KeefBurtain · 10/06/2018 10:03

I’m not getting anywhere with opks. Ovia and ff both say I should be fertile today/tomorrow but still a negative test plus no Cm or other signs at all.

My first period came 28 days post mc, and I got a +tive opk on day 14. It started with brown spotting then just a normal light/medium 5 day period so I think I was lulled into thinking things were back to normal in that department, but I guess not 😢
So frustrating

Blondcat · 10/06/2018 09:53

I am not sure when I ovulated but probably Friday /yesterday based on ewcm and usual pattern just trying to stay relaxed and not tracking so assuming now in tww.

Boboelephant · 10/06/2018 09:45

@RedRobin7 yep it makes the tww a bit quicker which is good but sucks on the other end when everyone else is finished af and then bang fw and I'm just sitting around waiting!
Tuesday 19th sounds like a good idea. 🤞

RedRobin7 · 10/06/2018 09:14

@littleemma1 Final wedding prep is definitely a good distraction! I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

@Boboelephant That's good you don't have as long to wait! I just realised it would be Wednesday 20th that's 13dpo but I don't like the number 20 any more... found out I was pregnant 20th Jan and found out about my MMC on 20th March so I think it's time for a different number and hopefully better luck! I'll try to wait until Tuesday 19th! I definitely overthink these things 🙄

Boboelephant · 10/06/2018 09:07

@zarala 😂😂😂 Your post cracked me up!! 😴😴 the drop is very often right before ovulation and if it spikes tomorrow, today will be counted as ovulation day. So defi try and JKS. Maybe you can all have a 'nap' between parties. My DH always says a quickie helps him sleep!

Boboelephant · 10/06/2018 09:03

@Murderino hopefully they are!!!
@littleemma1 good luck with the chilling! Wedding prep is definitely a good distraction! So exciting. I loved my wedding so much- wish we were getting married again!
@RedRobin7 when is 13dpo for you? I have a 12 day luteal phase so my af is due next Sunday. I would like to pretend that I will wait until then but I'm pretty sure I'll end up joining POAS Friday at 11dpo.

zarala · 10/06/2018 09:02

I'm not sure if I have ovulated yet...
I had a sharp drop in bbt this morning - am I right to believe this is an indicator that ovulation is imminent?
My digital CB OPK didn't work this morning - 🙄 but was flashing smile yesterday- so not sure if I'm at peak yet... I'm expecting ovulation today or tomorrow I think
Then will start the TWW!
Didn't manage to JKS yesterday (I had a cheeky toke on a spliff last night thinking it would be fun for JKS but that just knocked me out! 🤦🏻‍♀️ silly me! Haha) so need to somehow manage some daytime JKS today - we have 2 2-yr old birthday parties to attend so not sure how we going to manage) haha

littleemma1 · 10/06/2018 08:42

Yep I have too much going on with the wedding now so I have to focus on that which I think will be a good distraction from TWW!

Keeping everything crossed for everyone, old and new on this thread ❤️🤞🏼

I’ll be lurking so I can send all my congratulations when we get our BFP’s.
Baby dust to everyone ✨💐

RedRobin7 · 10/06/2018 08:36

@littleemma1 I'm determined to chill too... I was obsessed first time. I was testing early and my IC were faint positive and then negative before my actual BFP so don't want to drive myself insane again! Will try to wait until 13 dpo. I have the dentist on 13 dpo so want to check I'm not pregnant as they always want to do X-rays!

@Boboelephant When do you plan to test?

littleemma1 · 10/06/2018 08:33

2nd July that is xxx

littleemma1 · 10/06/2018 08:32

@Boboelephant think I’m in the TWW but depends on if my body actually OV’d.
Plan is to wait until 2nd POAS (probably before then!) and if -ve and no AF then to start pills to keep AF away until at least 17th July as I don’t want to bleed onto my white wedding dress, worry about not being able to go in the pool/wear swimsuit, and I want to enjoy honeymoon sex even if it’s not fertile sex!
Going to take a dive off here for the TWW and just lurk 🧐 as I don’t want to obsess over anything, I’m determined to chill xxx

Just realised we've moved - I've been a lurker for a while but not said anything!

Age: 32

Mc at 6 weeks last September
Cycle - who knows I think 8

Currently in the midst of the TWW convinced the flurry of spots on my chin is pregnancy related...

Boboelephant · 10/06/2018 08:13

@Funkyemzie ooh when will you test again?
@UnicornsandRainbows1 thanks hun. That's lovely. ❤
@hayleyfx haha yep that's what all the obsessive googling gets you! 😂
@Lovewinemorethanhusband not sure if it's the same as I use the website but on my phone. I just press on named and copy and paste.
@DaisyMay25 hope you feel better soon. Welcome to the tww!

Who else is in the tww???

@PassTheAfterEights where are you? Are you near testing time?

@Pancakes7 hope you can dtd this morning!

RedRobin7 · 10/06/2018 07:48

@Pancakes7 Sorry just realised it was negative on 8th not positive! I haven't slept yet 🙈 I find I only get accurate results with my FMU. I could have positive AM, negative PM and an obvious line the next AM. I found this with OPKs and same with my pregnancy tests in Jan. I do drink about 8 pints of water a day so that's probably why! JKS as much as possible.

RedRobin7 · 10/06/2018 07:41

Morning @Pancakes7 How's your DHs hangover? I think you said you had dark lines around 8th June? Mine was on the 7th and we DTD on the 8th but I think that was too late! I get the ovulation pains (same day as the static) so for me I think the static smiley is approx a 12 hour warning. So I'm keeping everything crossed for the BDing we did 36hrs before the static! Fx for us both!

Pancakes7 · 09/06/2018 23:48

Dh is still out with his friends. I went to a friends for dinner but got back about an hour ago. Can't sleep. Really hope he's not too hungover as it's 2 days without dtd now. 3 successful days before that. Hopefully its enough to get a bfp. Fx

Martydog · 09/06/2018 22:35

Sorry I don’t post often at the moment I’m a teacher and it’s very busy at the momoment so I can only check the boards just before bed.

DaisyMay25 · 09/06/2018 21:16

@Lovewinemorethanhusband I just cross it and the message is still there to continue when I go back

I'm ovulating today and I woke up so poorly, my throat is agony! Gotta soldier on though!

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 09/06/2018 19:56

4dpo and symptom spotting, got sore boobs, sharp Pains like fanny daggers, hoping that these are good things
Also on a mobile app other than writing names down how can I see people's details to write back to ? I start replying and then forget everyone's names !

hayleyfx · 09/06/2018 19:11

@Boboelephant thank you! Hopefully good news for both of us soon 🤞 you’ve literally done everything that can be done I think. You’re like a TTC guru! 🤣 it has got to be your month - feeling so hopeful for you, fingers crossed 🤞

@Anyday88 thank you, hope you’re doing alright and are out of limbo soon!

@L1zz13 sending hugs to you hun. I hope you’re okay Flowers

UnicornsandRainbows1 · 09/06/2018 18:18

@Boboelephant 😮 It's crazy how fast this thread moves! I'll definitely try my best to not do that again. I hope you can join, even if it's not on the other thread, I want a PM with lovely news (from all of you!). I actually hate this separation because I want us all to be in a good place together, and when you're still TTC it just feels like such a leap away. No one deserves to feel like that. Ever. ❤❤

Pearcrumble · 09/06/2018 18:07

Thank you so much for your words @hidcat that really made me feel better and more at ease. I feel supported today.

@strawberrye really sorry to hear of your two losses and completely understandable fears over how they will be treated. Thank you for sharing, it made me feel less alone.

@pampl3m0usse when the midwife rang me to tell me to go for an emergency scan because of the heavy bleeding she ended the call by saying 'happy biiiiiirthday' in a cheerful tone...Hmm had to laugh (later) can't imagine how difficult it is to have sadness on top of sadness, with your mum's death and your miscarriage and the goddamn birthday kicker, you've had such a lot to cope with. That you still took time and thought to wish me well with my own lesser things shows what an amazing person you must be. In fact that really goes for everyone on here, what an amazing supportive group.

Well, I am just waiting for my first period after MC, hoping it will be next week. Then we will start TTC again.

Thanks everyone
