@sunshine1987 @Delilah7 my DH initiated last night too!! Totally out of the blue!! I think they can sense our conversations you know...!!

I'm really pleased after having a really open and honest convo with DH last night too. I told him I want a baby and I want to start trying properly i.e. sex all the time, and I want to know where he is at. He is happy either way and said he is happy to have more sex, I also told him I can't be the one initiating all the time. So guess what. He initiated! Woop!

Sorry, I started this reply aaaages ago, before my last post, but never got round to finishing it cos I've been busy all day at work, and I really can't keep up with the speed of the convo now!

Anyways after 4 cycles of "not trying, but not trying not to", I now feel really happy that we have finally agreed to start actively trying and I don't have to be sneaky any more!

@Delilah7 you never know... until then though, treat it as if you don't know when you're ovulating and just DTD whenever you can this month? Xx

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 21:21

@cupcakesandglitter oh wouldn't it be wonderful! but I doubt it... I wonder if my ovulation dates have been different to what I though. But we only started having sex again 4 day's after the bleeding stopped so I doubt I've caught it. I hope it's that but I doubt it. It was exactly two weeks yesterday since I started miscarrying x x

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 21:17

@Delilah7 I read a thread today about women that got pregnant two weeks after a MC... do you think there's any chance you could be? Sorry if this is a long shot xx

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 21:11

Guys. I'm seriously bloated and my tummy feels so weird :( it's even worse than the 2WW when I first started! 2WW after a miscarriage is AWFUL!!!!!!
My left side feels awfully tender!

cupcakesandglitter · 16/08/2018 21:06

@Chivari ooh whereabouts?! X

Delilah7 · 16/08/2018 20:37

@Chivari I spoke to a midwife today and that was lovely.... my AF is not supposed to be here for another 12 day's :/ which sucks x

MrsR16 · 16/08/2018 20:36

@Chivari ah, see such a small world! 😂

Chivari · 16/08/2018 20:27

East Midlands over here! Although used to live in Peterborough @MrsR16 

@Delilah7 sending you a big hug lovely! Your AF is still isn't due so there is time! Like I said, I took a test the day before AF was due and it was BFN but then took one 2 days after and it was BFP. Don't be fooled by early tests, they don't work for everyone. Have you thought of trying out some counselling just to have someone to chat to?

South west here!

@Delilah7

Completely understandable to have moments where you feel sad again. I hope you're ok. Just make sure you take it easy when you do feel a bit low and give yourself time.
With regards to the cramping, I think everyone is different but I start cramping the day of ovulation on and off until AF.
I thought you'd already ov'd ? If so surely you're not fertile now and so it doesn't matter if you skip a day? I could be wrong?

@gjchapman it's so great to have this isn't it, I think it saves our DHs from a lot of rants too! 😂

@ttcat32 😂 I love it! Taking control.
