The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

That's sounding positive Betty.... tentatively crossing my fingers... when will you test/how strong is your willpower?

Still waiting to come on. It seems my body is really enjoying torturing me & ensuring that AF very loudly makes her presence known 😢 worst cramps since the mc!

I've got a really heavy feeling in my lower tummy this afternoon, almost feels like I've done 50 sit ups and my muscles are aching. Really emotional/grumpy too. Almost certainly just exhaustion but it's impossible not to notice these little things at 7dpo ...

Ps. sorry @Frazzle, didn't mean to ignore you... glad all is well (bar the thrush!). I've never had it but heard it's not pleasant, you just must be made of tough stuff!

@Pegase is it easing up at all?

@Pegase I agree with the others, don't worry and suffer in silence. If you're worried they'll dismiss you because it's 'only light spotting', tell them that you're full-on spotting if you want to; you know your body and you're concerned that's the next stage which is perfectly reasonable xx

@Pegase, I second what everyone else is saying, get to the EPU or call the GP or community midwife. You can't stay at work like that, I know that your job is hard to leave, but please please don't leave it until half term xxx

I really don't want to go to EPU which I know is stupid. Every time I go, they are just so rude to me and make me feel like I am wasting their time

It is half term next week so maybe I could hold out till then.

Bloody Ovia just sent me a notification to say the embryo's heart should have started beating today. Unless it has failed and now that's why I have started spotting

Thanks for the handhold though.

@frazzle, I get thrush quite a bit. I think you are more susceptible if you eat sugar but I know that's not the case with you!! The candida thrive off it. You can also get it through not being aerated(!) enough down there.....but also just for one of those things and it's caused by stress.
I usually get it a 4 times a year or so and it generally clears up by itself. Sometimes I have the the pessary stuff from the pharmacy if it is really bad. Hope you are relieved it's nothing serious xx

@pegase - I hope you are OK. I know you are a teacher like me and it can be so hard to go home as you leave someone else to do your job, but I think you should go home if you can and also like @rose68 says try and get yourself to EPU or the doctor.
It really could be nothing. As we have seen on here, lots of people spot throughout their pregnancies and are fine and even have full on bleeding. I also know how it is how a mc starts too, but just try and stay positive xxx

Oh no! Can you phone epu? It really still could be ok. I’m thinking of you @Pegase xxx

@Pegase I know you must be worried sick but try not to panic hun. Sending you massive hugs xxx

Sorry haven't read everyone's updates but having a bad day if anyone reading. Have started having discharge very faintly tinged with pink after this entirely cleared up after implantation. Am practically having a full on meltdown at work as this is how the mc started last time. Such a faint amount that it felt like I was imagining it which then progressed to proper bleeding. Is almost the exact same time of pregnancy as well. Feel sick.

@Rose that restores some hope... just feel like a naughty teenager...! And the walls really are paper thin in there....!

@Rather our DS2 was conceived on holiday in a villa with DH’s family and DS1 sleeping in our room. We were getting ready to go out for the afternoon and DS1 was having a nap in his cot, I had got a negative opk but I knew it was the right time, so one quick bunk up just after lunch while everyone else was in the villa, then I got straight up, got ready and we went out. That was after nearly a year of ttc with one mc in that time, so I was quite stressed about it. In fact I had pretty much given up. So if you want it, it’s definitely possible, and being on holiday is a great time to conceive. x

@TwittleBee that's a really good idea actually...... or if they go out for lunch, we could opt for a "lazy lunch by the pool" instead....

@Frazzlerock I loved that programme when I was pg...and even before I fell pg because I just knew it could happen... then the horrible hard truth of mc hits you & you realise that until you have that soft, squishy baby in your arms, there's no point in getting excited at all... 😕

rather any chances you could maybe have a night in the villa alone whilst they go out for a meal?

You must be exhausted Betty...

@Frazzlerock I hope your phone call goes ok xx
Keep positive with your chart, and remember once is all it takes.

I hate those ads too. Also hate anything to do with babies, pregnancy etc.

We are officially out for next cycle too. We are on holiday with my parents in their villa over FW, so would have been hard to dtd anyway, yet now my DSis is joining us & sleeping in the room next door. So absolutely no chance. Ffs.

I hope that phonecall goes okay Frazzle and she can offer some reassurance

Those adverts are awful. So many times I have been bought to tears by stupid ads.

@InDreamland know exactly what you mean. I especially hate adverts or programmes showing happy couples seeing their positive pregnancy test and being so excited... just keep thinking they have no idea of the potential sadness to come.
