TTC after MC - June 2020

@Hayleylou89 so glad everything was ok 👍 it’s a bit pants that husbands/partners can’t go in for scans now when will your due date be? Or do you have to wait until 12 week scan to find out? Xx

Lovely scan hun @Hayleylou89 xxx so happy for you all is looking well xxx

@elliew818 hahah got it out of the way first thing this morning lol it’s easier for us to DTD in the am while the kid is asleep lol @VP91x I was recommended on mumsnet somewhere about the cream from online and you just rub it in different areas like stomach and thighs. It’s called now progesterone cream. I figured it couldn’t hurt

@elliew818 oh, I would be devastated if my parents said that. Did they say anything else after? I actually never told my mum about what happened when I MC'd. I hadn't told them about the PG and I knew mum especially would be really sad. I'm really close to my mum so I feel guilty sometimes that she doesn't know. I don't think my two best friends really knew what to say, it was more of a generic Im sorry etc it will happen soon. I don't know what response I wanted but it certainly wasn't that.

I hope you are ok? Xx

@Hayleylou89 aw that is so amazing!! Glad everything is going as it should be. Sending you a massive hug you must be so happy! ❤️

@Dizzy201 welcome to the group, sorry you suffered a loss. I hope you get lucky this month great that you got your solid smiley straight away!

@2020wish yay for peak!! Happy DTD 🍆💦
How do you use the progesterone cream? Xx

Glad you got your peak @2020wish, we all know what you'll be up to later 😉 lol I'm currently stuck in TWW and already debating testing earlier than I planned 🤦‍♀️

@Chickoletta so when will you be testing?
So sorry for your losses @sunflower96 and @MissyBate @Dizzy201 and @Meomeomeo hope you're dealing with everything ok, can be difficult in lockdown without being able to 'get back to normal'...even though I'm not sure anyone ever does after a MC.
@Hayleylou89 so happy for you and your little bun :) glad it all went well
Feel like I need to have a little rant today! Saw my parents yesterday and told them about MC (they didn't know about pregnancy) and my dad actually said the words "well you're not the first and won't be the last" and my mum's pearls of wisdom included "oh well, onto the next, onwards and upwards"
I'm not annoyed at them because they were probably a bit shocked and didn't really know what to say but couldn't quite believe what I was hearing! Has anyone else had people say really insensitive things when telling them about MC?

@1990EM yes just got my peak!!

Anyone else having their peak today and due to ovulate tomorrow?

@Hayleylou89 aw lovely. So happy for you!

@Dizzy201 welcome! Sorry for you loss and here’s to your big BFP!

I’m armed with my aspirin and progesterone cream for this cycles in hopes that I get a sticky bean

Hi ladies do you mind if I join you? I'm 41 and thought I had finished having children, I've been with my OH for 8 years and we have kids from past relationships, my youngest is 13! We got pregnant (big surprise) last year and unfortunately had a missed miscarrige in november. We both wanted the baby and are now starting to try for one of our own, ive just started with CB ovulation test as couldnt figure the cheapy ones out 🤣 got a solid smiley on the 1st one so now I think in my 2ww. good luck to everyone 🤞

Aww @Hayleylou89 Congratulations lovely! This is so wonderful to see, and gives lots of hope. Thank you for sharing and I’m so happy you’ve seen your little bean xx

@sunflower96 Thank u, looks like I swallowed an engagement ring haha 💍 x x and yes i hope it does give u all so much hope for u BFP really soon xx

Thankyou for all of your kind words x

@1990EM yeah it was my first pregnancy, we were absolutely gutted to lose them

@Hayleylou89 wow congratulations, that's a lovely photo, you give us all hopes for bfps soon!

Hi All, Little up, Scan was great (hubby had to wait in car 😔) but all went well and thats the main thing. Im exactly 6 weeks tomorrow which is exactly what natural cycles has said 💙🌈💖xx

@Jazper honestly it should come with an anger warning 😂😂 I have used the same holder for the last two cycles so I'm hoping by now it has a good baseline for me xx

Thank you @VP91x, feel your pain with cb 😂 could really do without having to see that overly happy little shit bag flash at me for a week this month 🤣 xx

@Jazper ah sorry that AF came but at least it gives you more of a regular cycle and that's positive for next cycle. Nice LP too!

@SmileyT 😂 oh no!! Don't think like that. I'm still impressed you haven't tested today.

Well, I wasn't going to but some arrived yesterday evening forgot I had done the subscription thing. So, I'll use them. Hopefully I conquer the static smiley this month so I can stick my fingers up to it for annoying me the last two cycles 🖕 😂
My temp was SO low this morning 35.76 no where near post-OV temps haha xx

Update, af just got me. Bitter sweet. Gutted but relieved to see that my cycle was shorter than the last two which suggests they are settling. Had a nice 14 day LP too going by positive OPK.
Going to use cheapie opk's alongside my cb digital from last month.
Can any Ava experts tell me if they are suitable for temping with an irregular sleep pattern?

Also, welcome to the new members. Sorry that you have found yourself here. I'm not an everyday active member but the girls are an amazing wealth of support when needed ❤️

@Niisa sideways dancing, haha😂! I know I was thinking back to my two pregnancies and I am pretty sure I tested because I thought I was about a day late or so. Crazy isn't it? And now here I am counting down the hours.

I'm on CD9 now, should be in FW towards the end of the week I think. Started testing today, my cycles are definitely still settling so anything could happen! Xx

Thanks so much ladies. It’s great to say these things outloud to people who understand. I started cbd opk from cd9 (my hcg had gone to 0 prior) - thinking just in case ovulation is early and I had absolutely nothing. Blank circle for 10 days then I ran out of sticks 🤦‍♀️. By this point it had gone past my normal o date. IC were clear negative too. No signs of any o at all. It turned out that I o late this cycle, even then I can’t pin point to just 1 day even when Natural Cycles confirmed o was last Thursday. It’s been exhausting temping, opk, watching my body like a hawk and every so often thinking what if the MC didn’t happen. It also didn’t help that despite me cancelling appointments with NhS, I still received phone call/ letter. Here’s to the tww.
Baby dust to all of us.

@Meomeomeo & @sunflower96 so sorry to hear about your losses. It's does get slightly easier with time and like all the other girls have mentioned, this is such a supportive group & we're all here for you 💕

@VP91x last time I don't recall having any symptoms. I didn't think I was pregnant around this stage as we weren't even trying and did it only once that whole month as we were moving. I only tested because AF was A DAY late - can you believe??!! Now I'm here sideways dancing as much as possible and no luck yet! It's crazy how these things work! How far in the cycle are you again? I'm sure I read it but have read so many other messages since 😭💕

@sunflower96 so very sorry about your loss 😔 was it your first pregnancy? 💔

@meomeomeo hi, I miscarried in May too. My cycle has been super confusing too this time round. You've come to the right place, these ladies are incredible 💗

Thanks everyone, feeling better this week. How are we all?

@2020wish did you get your peak yet?

@SmileyT yeah that's kind of how I feel! If it's going to be negative I want to know asap and that will at least reduce the tension while I wait for AF. I'm one of those people who just wants facts. I think I will test on Friday. Eeek.. hope you will lead the way for BFPs this month!

@Meomeomeo welcome too! Sorry you have had a tough couple months. Hopefully this is third time lucky for you? Xx

@Rainbowhope11 how are you feeling? So lovely that you saw the rainbow 🌈❤️

@HopeForRainbowbaby hope your peak soon, sounds like you are almost there! Xx
