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.

Thanks everyone. So glad I have this thread. You're all so supportive. Feeling a bit better uti wise. But have my low moments of I'm not pregnant anymore... seems I see pregnant women everywhere now! Still no af... 🙁 Congratulations @Cobaltrose I hope I join you soon! Well I hope we all do.

Boboelephant · 27/06/2018 18:17

@Blondcat glad af is over and you're feeling more positive. Fx for this month.
@GPS76 Haha. My friend told me I should be a doula!! That's a sign I now know too much about this subject! 🤦‍♀️
@Laney79 when I had the ERPC the nurse told me to drink cranberry juice and said all women should drink it during af to counteract blood loss. Maybe worth a shot?
@Cakelaur I miss you too. As soon as I type the @ symbol my phone always pops up your name as a prediction. I can't wait to be on the same thread as you again! I'm so happy baby cake is baking well. (Haha couldn't help the pun!) xx
@CobaltRose congratulations!
@TedLife fx for tomorrow!
@YellowDaffodils86 I feel like you've been on the thread longer. Must be because we've been cycle twins a few times. Sorry af got you but glad you're having a proper one at least after last month. It is possible you ovulated later. On my long cycle a few months ago I had a very nearly positive on day 15 I think followed by negatives and kept testing and ended up with a glaring positive at day 21 and ovulated cd22. Your body can almost get there but not quite. Although apps are designed for people with 'average' cycles and sometimes can't handle it if things go haywire especially after MC. Usually though it is your follicular phase that changes not your luteal. I am ok thanks. CD12 so just starting fw. I ovulate somewhere between day 16-18 and got my first ewcm today so fingers crossed!!!
Fx for everyone in tww!!

Having pregnant work colleagues is tough, especially if they're complaining a lot about their pregnancy.

I've just sat down to do some period maths and realised I should be due by the end of this week (29th-1st). My relaxedness this month has me totally caught off-guard.
I don't feel pregnant in the slightest though and am actually looking forward to next cycle so I can get down to trying properly again.

DaisyMay25 · 27/06/2018 13:54

Congrats @CobaltRose quite strong lines for 9dpo too!

TedLife · 27/06/2018 13:44

Sorry @TinyPaws I know the feeling. I'm also away for work and here with a colleague who just announced she was pregnant - she would have been similar due date to me and it's really hard to see.
Trying to console myself by thinking I don't know what difficulties she faced or how long it took her to get there.
Sadly it's a hard thing to learn but people who've never experienced mc just don't really think about it, I'm sure your colleague doesn't mean anything bad by it. Can you split up from her for a bit to try get some space?

TinyPaws · 27/06/2018 13:34

Congrats @CobaltRose!

Sorry I've not replied to everyone else, I'm on my phone and struggling to keep track of the thread.

I'm at a work conference and one of my colleagues is constantly (like, CONSTANTLY) moaning about being pregnant. I'm finding it really hard.

HidCat · 27/06/2018 13:12

@dreaminofholidays wait as long as you can before testing. Ideally the day of AF. If you can't wait that long then definitely not before 10dpo and only with an early result test. I found an ic in the cupboard so will probably use that Sunday then wait til AF due.

@dreaminofholidays welcome!

I think aim to test when you think AF is due but if you can't wait you can test early. I'm going to try tonight which will be 12dpo but if it's too diluted I might wait til the morning. I think 14dpo is pretty optimal.

dreaminofholidays · 27/06/2018 11:43

@tedlife @hidcat I am in the window with you.
anyone else in the window?

I think my AF is due 4th July, not sure when to test. I am still trying to work out my cycle so just going on guess work for now. Any recommendations on when to test? x

YellowDaffodils86 · 27/06/2018 09:22

Thanks everyone, yeah holiday hd been good. Last day today, having some spa time later.

@zarala this is my 3rd cycle since MC. Before that i went from having the coil and no periods, to pregnancy within a month or so following removal and the MC. So i guess its going to be a little unsettled.

AF is truly here this morning. Belly is so crampy and heavy flow. Glad she is here at least and is 'normal' as the days went on i was pretty sure pregnancy wasn't the reason for her not showing.

I updated my app today and it moved my last ovulation day a week later then what I originally logged it at. Obviously to make it 14 days between this af and ovulation.
Do you think i got ovulation wrong and infact had a longer cycle and af was never really late? I got a very near positive opk followed by a neg, so assumed ovulation was at that point.

@Pancakes7 Uti sucks. Hope the ABs work for you and you feel better.

@weasledee Nice opk! ➕➕➕➕

@Cakelaur Glad all is going well with bubba.

@Lilimum4 good luck with tww crazyness

@CobaltRose ahh congratulations, nice line for 9dpo!

@Boboelephant How are you? Where in your cycle are you? Close to ov surely?
Might try SMEP too next cycle.

OK ladies I'm officially 1dpo let the madness begin

Cakelaur · 26/06/2018 23:11

@zarala I'm good babe. Thanks for asking. I'm trying to keep up with the thread. Still no AF for you?? Maybe a temp rise tomorrow?!

I'm now just over 15weeks. Sickness is dying down and bump is starting to appear. Not much to report from my end. Just waiting to welcome all of your guys onto the bfp thread. I miss you all. Xx

GPS76 · 26/06/2018 21:46

@Laney79 oh dear! Poor you! Floradix definitely helps, good luck to you xx

Laney79 · 26/06/2018 21:38

@GPS76 I'd take light right now...been having to go to the loo every 45mins/hour for fear of bleeding through pads...bloomin pouring! It's horrid! Been like that all day. I'm exhausted! And a bit wobbly...more floradix for me I think!

GPS76 · 26/06/2018 21:31
