Oh @MrsEG I'm so sorry to hear that 😩 fx AF turns up for you soon and you both get to DTD again xx

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 11:18

@Fivebyfive2 I find Pregnacare fine - they are massive but coated so easy to swallow! I fell pregnant with them the last time too, so just trying to stick with what I know - plus it’s handy it has all the vitamins in one shot! Yep, my DH is exactly the same, keeps asking if I have my period yet as he wants to get on with it haha! You just have to try and enjoy it and not apply too much pressure - I tend to let DH know early on when I think the fertile week will be and then he starts doing his countdown haha!

Fivebyfive2 · 13/04/2019 10:46

@MrsEG, yep definitely alot of it is in my head I think! When af arrived we decided to go for it right away (after she'd cleared up!) as we tend to over think things. I was worried if we left it, we'd keep talking ourselves out of trying again. How do you get on with the pregacare tablets? They intimidate me a bit because they seem massive!! I'm just on folic with vit d from Holland and B, but have thought about upping my vitamin game?? Started opks today, not expecting any faces (I use cb as not good with squinting!) for a few days but just in case the fw comes early!! Dh is apparently excited to be dtd A Lot this cycle but we'll see how long that lasts... Hopefully he won't feel too pressured.

@orangeloo, good luck at the wedding! Camp out by the food, that'd be my plan! Xxx

orangeloo · 13/04/2019 10:18

@MrsEG sorry to hear that Thanks glad we can be here for you you do come back though.

@Jessikka yaaay haha congrats on your ewcm

@Lemurville hello and welcome!

I've got a family wedding today, can't be arsed and can't be arsed with the 'so when are you having kids' question ugh. Wish me luck. Have a good Saturday all x

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 10:16

@daisiesandpeonies So sorry to hear that - I hope the doctors are able to help out and you get that BFP really soon. TTC can feel so totally hopeless at times x

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 10:15

@Fivebyfive2 I’m so sorry you had to go through this too! I have had one AF, 5 weeks after the D&C. We didn’t try this month though (emotionally didn’t feel ready yet) so waiting for my next AF now and then cracking on again - I think ‘craziness’ is right, ordered an Ava bracelet, got my pregnacare, booked in for some acupuncture and have been exercising and healthy food prepping like mad! I’m sure so much of it is psychological but anything to make me feel we’re giving it our very best shot!

Very best of luck to you this cycle!

daisiesandpeonies · 13/04/2019 09:45

@MrsEG I'm also wanting AF to hurry up this month as it means I can call up the nurse to book my tests - it's been a year TTC now for us no joy, just 5-7 week cycles and horrific acne! I'm on CD 41, hopefully this won't be a mega cycle

daisiesandpeonies · 13/04/2019 09:42

@MrsEG so sorry about your MC - welcome back

Fivebyfive2 · 13/04/2019 08:55

@MrsEG I'm so sorry xxx Glad you guys took a break after, it really helps I think. I had my d&c in March and af arrived last weekend, so this is our first round of ttc after the miscarriage. God knows what it will be like, dh has said he is preparing for craziness!! I really hope af arrives for you soon so you know where you are. Hopefully if you're having the signs it means she's getting here as fast as she can?! Xxx

starkid · 13/04/2019 08:19

@MrsR16 - hmm now I've already got 4 FRER's plus a others plethora of other tests... Am still tempted though 😂

@MrsEG - oh I'm so sorry to hear that ☹️ good idea your husband and you decidng to try and forget about TTC for a while. We'll be here once you're ready (and body is ready) to join again 😊 xx

@KatBeCool *previous, not precious! I’m not that proud of my cycles haha!

MrsEG · 13/04/2019 07:55

@KatBeCool Well based on my precious 28 day cycles I was expecting AF on Weds, but I’ve been warned that post-D&C it can take a few months for a normal cycle to settle again. I have all my normal pre-AF symptoms so really hoping she shows up this weekend - I’ve never wanted AF quite so badly! Sorry to hear you’ve got yours at the moment; at least you’re that bit closer to your fertile week :)

Lola871 · 13/04/2019 06:37

Sorry to hear that @MesEG, hope things get back to normal for you soon!

I've just started fertile week I think, according to my app, time to get on with it 😂

KatBeCool · 13/04/2019 01:25

@MrsEG oh no, I'm so sorry. I'm glad to see you're doing better and ready for a fresh start. My AF is certainly rocking me at the moment. How soon are you expecting yours?

MrsEG · 12/04/2019 22:14

Hello lovely ladies.
I see some familiar names here and lots of new ones I don’t recognise!
After my BFP at Christmas I had a MMC, and a D&C at 10 weeks.
It’s been the worst start to the year ever, and me and DH decided to just spend a few months forgetting all about TTC and pregnancy, and even though I had one AF since the D&C, this current cycle seems to be all over the place!
I’m feeling a lot better now, and even treated myself to an Ava bracelet, so once my next AF finally rocks up I can try and get back in tune with my uterus! So you may see me posting back here again :)
Hoping to celebrate lots of BFPs with you lovely ladies very soon.

MrsR16 · 12/04/2019 21:29

Omg FRERs are on offer on Amazon! £5.78 for a pack of 2! Get going ladies!!

@ValidUser I can't see anything either lovely! Got everything crossed for you!

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 19:34

@cherryblossomgin so glad your tubes are good!

Thanks for squinting with me, people!

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 19:32

See, I could be totally wrong and I've been wrong before, but I have a good gut feeling about this cycle. That said, I'd also love 3 glasses of wine and am torn!

Jessikka · 12/04/2019 19:02

Sorry @ValidUser I can't see anything just yet! FX it gets stronger tomorrow 🤞

starkid · 12/04/2019 18:57

@ValidUser - sorry I can't see anything, maybe Sunday will be clearer?
@cherryblossomgin - good news that your tubes aren't blocked, sucks it's an unpleasant procedure though :(

Better shot

ValidUser · 12/04/2019 18:45

Squint with me!

I see a line but it may be an indent. Still early - about 9 dpo.

Now that I don't need an egg donor I can afford this. 😂

cherryblossomgin · 12/04/2019 18:17

Tested today for my HSG scan and not pregnant but luckily my tubes aren't blocked and the dye went through fine. One was a bit slow but that's the side I have a couple of cysts on. Is it normal to feel a bit sick and sore after? It might be the antibiotics they gave me as I didn't eat before it as I was in a rush. I also forgot to take pain medication. Next step is the ovulation specialist. Hope that isn't as painful Blush

Jessikka · 12/04/2019 18:04

Hello everyone and welcome to the new ladies 👋🏻

Sorry to kickstart with some TMI but after deciding this month to forgo temping and OPKs ... I have FINALLY created some EWCM. I'm over the moon. My hormones must finally be settling down after the pill. I can't stop smiling!

I literally ran to OH and ordered him upstairs 🙄😂

For the last few cycles I've ovulated on cd12 and at the moment I'm on Cd10 so could this be my body finally starting to play ball??!

Ommgggggg I'm so happy.

Ok, calm down woman.

starkid · 12/04/2019 16:55

Welcome @Lemurville ! I'll add you, will be posting an updated list soon anyway :)
