The July '19ers - knocked down, but never beaten

@Rachyrach83 thank you. TTC is tough. I was naive too when wee started TTC, a year later I started getting realising it's not easy then when we got to 5 years gave up all hope then bam pregnant but lost that and the next one. I am so jealous of those who just have to sneeze and they're pregnant. You're not too old though! Ladies have babies into their 40's.

@ratherbeshowjumping thank you too. Hope you find more time for DTD.

@Frazzlerock thank you. I know that feeling of being pregnant after mc is such an anxious time. As soon as I got my BFP in November I started worrying about another mc and was on 24 hour knicker watch. DH also was worried we'd lose that baby too.

@Bettyswoll0cks thanks. I hope you get a BFN so you can reset and start again.

@ProseccoBee thanks too.I counted first day of bleeding from mc as CD1, not sure if I'm supposed to.

@Twittlebee that sounds positive. Fx for you!

My body is doing weird stuff. Mentioned this on another thread. I never used to get spots apart from the occasional one when AF shows but would disappear in 24 hours. Since first pregnancy last year I've had spots - big ugly uncomfortable ones. They won't go. Also ever since first pregnancy I've had weird feelings in my lower abdomen. Think my body is confused.

Welcome back @ProseccoBee! I’m glad you managed to have a good time.

@TwittleBee... do you think you could just nip out and get a frer? I can’t handle the suspense 😁😘

Looking good @twittle! Don’t know how you’ve got the willpower to wait to test again until the weekend

@twittle I’m so excited for you!!

Welcome back Prosecco ! Glad your festive period was okay in the end. Got to love Bailey's. Good resolution, tempted to do the same for coffee but DH bought me a lovely coffee maker....

My mouth is full of ulcers... had this with previous pregnancies, only time I get them... Really getting hopeful now

@Rachy I am also thinking i was very naive about the whole pregnancy thing since the mc. I just honestly never thought it would happen and since it has happened i can't stop reading about it and realising how common it is and i feel very silly. I also looked at the Ava bracelet ad would love one although it only took us 3 months to conceive the last time so i think it is probably a non essential item at the minute but oh how i want it!

Hi all, back after a hectic Christmas and New Year although I must admit the reality of them both wasn't as bad as what i had been dreaming up in my head and I managed to enjoy myself. Also drank tonnes of Prosecco, gin and baileys to drown my sorrow. I'm having my last blow out this weekend and then no more drink, I'm also giving up caffiene as my New Year's resolution, so hopefully should be in prime health to conceive next time.
I'm starting to wonder when Af will be due I felt like it could be starting this morning but nothing. Do I count the first day of bleeding from the miscarriage as Cd1? i ended up bleeding for 11 days in total and then directly after that I had absolutely loads of EWCM so does that mean I would have ovulated after that? arghh so confused. I'm now on Cd 24 and usually my cycles would be anywhere between 31-36 days so didn't think i would get Af for at least another week but I definately feel like it's on the way. I do'nt think I have ever willed it to come as much as I am now, but I just want to get back on the ttc horse.

So excited for us all to get our next BFP! and also congratulations @frazzle on the engagement that is so lovely ad very exciting! I hope it helps to keep your mind off all the horrible things you've had to endure I absolutely loved planning my wedding and just wish i could do it all again.

@Ratherbeshowjuming sorry you've had such a horrible time with hubby, I definitely think it will be the stress of everything and really hope you guys manage to work everything out.

@Dreamland. welcome but so sorry you've had to join our club!

Hope everyone else is well.

More BD?! I feel like everyone else in the world is at it the whole time as it is 😂 but I guess that's always how it feels when you've got a bit of a complex about something 😕

I'm still getting bfp's. It's going to be ages until I can think about ttc again.

Welcome @InDreamland and sorry to hear of your mc history xx

Hi @Dreamland, I'm so sorry to see you here. What a horrific time you've had. This is a great group and I hope brings you some comfort x

I can't believe how naive I was about it all either. And seeing as I pg so quickly last time, DH is still fairly naive about it.
Also wish our life was less hectic so we could fit in much more BD (that actually came out as one of my frustrations with DH in our talk on Monday).

Hi dreamland
Sorry you're here but it's s great group!

I know that's what my DH says about ovusense etc and I've already got the clearblue monitor, it's just scared me how complicated it all is trying to have a baby! I was SO naive!!!!!
I'm 36 in April and am panicking it's all getting too late. I think I'll feel better when I see I'm Oing but until then I'm on edge.

@smerlin please keep me updated with your cbfm as it's good to see how it's working for others. X

Thanks @Kinsters.

Funny how you mention vivid dreams and night sweats. I had loads when pregnant with first.

Thank you @TwittleBee @Rose68 @edidxb

Hopefully we'll all concieve quickly.

edidxb I've been very hot as well! I was so sweaty last night I had to get a towel and flip my pillow over 🤢

Frazzle that's just a double whammy of frustrations. Hopefully they can both be easily resolved.

InDreamland that sounds like a rubbish time you've been through. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Rachy that dream is so funny and definitely similar to the really vivid and insanely weird dreams I got. I wish I could remember them now!

@Rachyrach83 it's so annoying not knowing how long it is going to take. TTC our 1st was ridiculously easy - 1st cycle, just DTD every 2-3 days throughout, threatened mc but managed to stick and get DD. This time took 8 months to end up in mc so I have decided to take it much more 'seriously' as thought it would be easy second time round too but sadly not. Also am 35 in a couple of weeks.

A good friend has been trying for years with no success at all, even with IVF. So it seems impossible to predict.

Hi all,
@InDreamland, you are very welcome here. It is a lovely group of lovely people.

@Betty - just to reiterate what others have said, what a lovely photo!

I feel a little disappointed if I am honest by our photos. I really really wanted a great photographer and we ended up going with a couple that promised so much but I didn't quite get the shots I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong, we have some lovely photos but it's just not quite what I wanted.

@Rose68 and @Frazzle I get constipation quite a bit of the time too. I hate it. And the two times I have been pregnant it has been 100% worse. Although that has also been due to the progesterone I took both times too. I had to resort to eating prunes each morning which I hate!

My first symptoms both times were incredibly sensitive nipples and breasts like nothing else I have experienced. And this time overwhelming tiredness even at 10DPO before I had tested.

@kinsters - finally! Fingers crossed you and your DH can get some rest soon!

I have had LOADS of ewcm today so ovulation must be coming soon. I am still not sleeping well even though jetlag should be well finished. I just keep waking up so many times through the night, really hot. Let's hope it's not the menopause. In fact that's not even worth thinking about. So I don't think my BBT is very accurate. I have been OPking it the last few days but only with the cheap strips I got last summer and they haven't shown a positive yet but hopefully in the next few days. Need to try and get on it tonight, if not tomorrow morning......

Urgggghhh, @Frazzlerock that's so annoying. I hope they can get back to you soon. I hate that kind of waiting.

@Rachyrach83 I think that if you feel pregnant reasonably quickly last time you will probably be OK this time too just with OPK especially if you have the CB monitor. I don't think you need anything else other than a good BBT in Celsius!!

@Betty, what a lovely photo!

@Dreamland, welcome, I’m so sorry you are here, but you are very welcome (if that makes sense).

@Kinsters, yay for the BFN! You should ovulate soon now.

My constipation seems to have gone now 😩

Oh Dreamland I am so sorry that's happened to you, not fair to have been trying for so long too. You are of course welcome here. Xx

Hi ladies.
Can I join please? Been lurking on this thread since i saw it opened. I usually post on the TTC after pregnancy loss thread.

It's so sad to see so many on here. Hoping for BFPs all around.

A little about me. TTC#1, was TTC for 5 years then finally got BFP in May last year but ended in mc at 12 weeks in mid July, due date is in 3 weeks time Then got BFP again in November but mc'd 3 days later at 4+4. Due date was eerily on first anniversary of first mc.

Currently in TWW. I'm 11 or 12 dpo. Not sure exactly when AF is due now because of loss in November as AF started 31 days after bleeding first started for mc but cycle before was normally 27 or 28 days.

@Rachyrach83 that made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂

Finally Kin get DTD! Whoop

So so many FX for us all. Desperate for us all to make it into an antenatal thread together and for us all to have lil cute babies together. We all so deserve it, just know the world doesn't work like that

@Frazzle I am also quite chuffed that we are dpo twins ☺️, we can compare notes ☺️.
I now have a massive spot as well as constipation. But it’s only all to do with increasing progesterone and no way anything else. When I got my bfp in October I had no constipation until after the bfp which I got on 10dpo. I should be getting pmt tomorrow probably 😩

@Twittlebee I can’t believe you are going to wait until Sunday! I am massively impressed with your amazing patience.

@Rather get in there girl!

And oh my god I had mad dreams!! I thought it was my meds!! See this Facebook status from October 15th when I would have been around 10/11dpo and not a clue I was pregnant!! I thought it was my meds!! It's only you guys saying this that's made me realise!!!
