TTC First Baby Thread 18 Already!

Morning ladies, happy Monday!
Quick question, I had my positive OPK strip on Saturday morning and then have had two slight temp dips yesterday and today, no sharp increase yet. Is this normal? The CB digitals are still solid circles, so I've given up on them.
First time using BBT, so wasn't sure! I've googled and most had temp dips before and day of LH surge..

@MrsH497 I had an early mc at 5 weeks and my next cycle came 5 weeks after (if I count the first day of mc bleeding as CD1).

@MrsEG happy birthday!! Have a fabulous day!

Ahh missed so many other messages! @MrsLBear Yep, I have three due dates to brace myself for 😞 I wish I could just look at them as random, normal days - I don’t know why I’m beating myself up over them. This month we are just going with the flow as after my third MC I now have fertility tests so want to see what the consultant says before we crack on again!

@Lozzlepop My whole life these days is baby showers and kids birthday parties, some of my friends are now on baby 2 - so yep, totally agree - it’s just everywhere!! I don’t know if it’s TTC making me more hyper aware but I also just feel like it’s on TV and films aaaall the time too! And like, a miscarriage storyline in Fleabag?! UGHH!!
Hope AF rocks up before your hols (or are you holding out for a BFP??)

@MrsH497 I HATE that, and also get it all the time. No shit Sherlock. It’s such an insensitive thing to say to someone who has had a loss. I also got ‘at least it happened early’ and someone suggesting my running caused them. Just, no. Try to block it out - no one can ever know what it’s like until they go through it - if you really are feeling down, have you considered any counselling? I have had some and it was amazing.

Went to see Booksmart at the cinema tonight, very funny. Had a big glass of wine and double-scoop ice cream too. Birthday tomorrow, then the healthy eating can recommence!!

I think I will give CB digi a go next cycle this AF arrives, if anything just to determine what works best for me. I will continue temping as I quite like charting and I will pay attention to my CM although I don't get a lot so may be difficult to judge. Thanks all! I took an OPK this morning and it was definitely negative so I reassessed the info in my apps and now one is suggesting I am 4DPO and the other 6DPO! One way to speed up TWW! Anyway, think I'm just going to have to play this one my ear and wait and see!!

@MrsH497 I’ve had three losses now and AF never took more than 5 weeks from the day of bleeding/D&C to arrive. I believe up to 6 weeks is fine. It’s a horrible waiting game, it really is.

@MrsLBear I honestly thought it'd be too late but we shall see! Annoying to read about your SIL, so unfair!!!

@MrsH497, mine was 4 weeks after the day of the actual surgery, not sure if this helps?? Xxx

@Lozzlepop guess I'll have to be patient then! I'm 2/3 weeks post MC bleeding stopped after less than a week and negative test was 26th May. Nothing about this MC seems to be what is on the internet

@MrsH497 I’m still waiting on mine to show up 😬 it’s been 5 weeks since the miscarriage so hoping she shows up soon

@MrsH497 I am afraid i think it is different for everyone, generally I think if it's under 6 weeks it doesn't always effect the cycle but over may be more likely to. Mine was only a week late if you count mc as day 1 and I mc'd at 8 weeks. It's not a fun waiting game. X

@MrsLBear lovely to hear from you. I am really dreading the due date. It is on my mind a lot. I am just praying it happens well before then. Where are you in your cycle now?

Quick question ladies sorry GP never gave me any information post MC. When should I expect my period?

No idea *

CD33 And counting 🙃 no sign of AF, did a IC again today and BFN and just been to the toilet and had some EWCM, I'm so confused about everything how nobidea what's going on with my cycles

@MrsLBear not too bad good days and bad days have a couple of good days then a less good one. Totally agree I'd give anything to be pg even with morning sickness wouldn't matter to me just a healthy pregnancy.
Hating people say "well at least you know you can get pregnant" all good intentions but seriously!!? Xx

Loving all these cute furry friend pics!!

@Marleym28 massive congratulations hun ☺️ Look at that line, wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months!

@MrsEG @MrsH497 I feel like everywhere I go I see pregnant women, 3 of my friends are pregnant and so is my bosses wife it does just feel so unfair sometimes! Yesterday town was just full of pregnant women, kids and newborns 😒

Hope everyone has had a lovely Sunday ☺️ I’m on the holiday countdown now- if AF would kindly hurry and show her face CD 37 and counting

@cupcakesandglitter could you be ovulating now? Or is it way too late? Our bodies can do some weird and wonderful things sometimes!

@MrsEG oh sorry to hear it's so soon 😢 I think that's a good idea and you're allowed to have a sad day, especially on a day like that. It's so hard seeing peoples pregnancies progress that you know but I just keep telling myself my time will come. I'm doing ok thank you. Taking each day as it comes. And I feel different at every point in my cycle. Just getting bfn every month disheartens me so much. I still find it baffling how people fall pg on a one night stand for example. How are you doing? You tracking your cycles or going with the flow?

Hi @MrsH497!! How are you?

So hard listening to people's news like that especially at work. I had a client moan to me about her morning sickness (every time I see her) and she knows what I went through and I just feel like slapping her and telling her to be bloody grateful. I know it's all relative and I know morning sickness can be awful but I'd rather have it and be pg than be faced with bfn every month. I feel the same as you @cupcakesandglitter. My ex sil falls pg more often than not and she's so undeserving of it and uses abortions as a form of contraception (don't even get me started) so I agree it's so so unfair.

@MrsH497 definitely, we all will ❤️ xx

You will as well @cupcakesandglitter I believe that!! Xx🌈

Oh god @MrsH497 you have every right to feel it! When you're holding your little baba one day everything will all be worth it xxxx

@cupcakesandglitter yeah I saw that agree responses seem immature.
Glad you don't think I'm being harsh. Her and her boyfriend caused some issues at our wedding as well so guess I'm just bitter lol xx

I don't think it's harsh @MrsH497 I completely get how you feel - we try everything we can trying to be in the best possible position for it, so when it happens so easily for other people it bloody hurts.

There's a thread right now from a 24year old who wants to use a sperm donor (her mate) to get pregnant and her responses to seem a little immature - i will be 24 and whilst the age thing I can understand, I have everything in place for a child and am financially secure, I worked very bloody hard to be in this position because I knew I wanted children. I did everything by the book almost and then it just doesn't happen. Granted people try a lot longer but it just seems so unfair. I'm just moaning really. Sorry 😂

@cupcakesandglitter this sounds so harsh but they aren't in the most stable relationship, weren't trying and yet magically happens for them. Broke my heart watching him tear up. Thank you for all being here when I have needed to chat it's really helped xx

Oh @MrsH497 I'm so sorry :( DH did the same when he found out his best mate from work and his wife are expecting. It almost seems cruel doesn't it. So sorry, it's the worst situation :( sending hugs ❤️ xxxx

Hi @MrsLBear lovely to see you!
@cupcakesandglitter meh I'm ok good days and bad days. Both had a few tears the other day over the other woman at work who's pregnant just all feels very unfair. We don't want to get any hopes up of falling pregnant again quickly DH asked when I could test and when AF was due xx

@ValidUser - definitely all bases covered with DH :) got absolutely everything crossed for you!
