TTC after MC - June/July 2020 (Part 4)

@MichT4 with the last pg, I had a 2 pack of FRER and did both of those as I was shocked. I did a digi 2 weeks later which showed a nice 3+ and stopped after that. As @Northernsoul90 says it doesn't say much but next time will probably POAS every other day regardless of common sense!

If you have cheapies to use and it gives you a sense of reassurance then I'd say go for it and test if you feel the urge to x

@MichT4 last time I did loads, cb digital weekly for 3 weeks so I could see the week progression and cheapies near enough every day it was silly really. I convinced myself I needed to see the line get darker but in reality that didn’t tell me anything as my pregnancy had stopped progressing very early on but the hormones were still rising. I think back now and when I could see the weeks move from 2-3 to 3+ it didn’t mean anything as I had a blighted ovum and all that was there was the sac. I’d like to think because of that I wouldn’t get hung up on it next time round but I probably still will fall into the trap of testing excessively 🤦🏽‍♀️

@calimommy I can definitely relate to your feelings, I’ve been there a few times myself and then you feel so guilty about it. Definitely focus on your new cycle opportunity you’ve got every reason to believe this month is your month ✨

@SmileyT how many tests would you do?

Actually, one for all the ladies? Would you stop at 1?

xx

@SmileyT I don’t know, I’ll definitely take a CB digi in a week or so. I have an early digital too so might take that.
Don’t know how many is too many 😂. Once I’ve had a digital that’ll be it. I have 20 cheapies from my OPK pack 😂

@calimommy sorry you’re feeling low. As @Jazper said we have all been there. Hope you have something lovely planned for Friday evening xx

@calimommy , I totally understand your feelings. I can't imagine there being a single person in this group who doesn't.
You're right though, start of a new cycle, end of af and time to focus on ttc. It will be you soon xx

@SmileyT I've not seen Frozen 2 yet so it's on my list of things to relax to this weekend. Hope it's as good as the first. I have no kids yet btw but a 30 something with their own Disney + subscription is totally acceptable in my books 😆
That's really good your work let's you flex your days and nice work with the planning ahead for mat leave 🤞🏽hope the Saturday isn't too busy for you

My work have forced us to take 40% of holiday allowance by end of June because everyone will be off second half of the year otherwise. But as I was off sick for my MC I've got lots to still take but they've just told me it all needs to be taken before the end of 2020!! So annoying as I would've loved to bank it for a mat leave but at the same time grateful I've not lost the days off

@MichT4 when are you testing again? Sorry may have missed this... try not to get into the line progression worries xx

@VP91x ooh yeah frozen 2 I'll probably watch that when I get home today 🙌🏾 have you seen it before?l jealous there is nobody to make me pancakes though 😂

And yeah Saturday working because I want a day off in the week for a hairdressers appt and trying to carry as much holiday as possible to next year for this potential mat leave 🙃

I try hard not to get pregnancy jealousy because it really doesn't help my mind frame but when I was pregnant with my 2yo there was another woman due the same time, I would see her occasionally. I saw her yesterday and she is pregnant again, and due the same time I would have been due my recent loss. It sent me down a little bit of a spiral, being reminded so clearly where I would have been now.

Anyho onwards eh! AF has just finished and I have a new cycle of opportunity ahead.

@SmileyT I don’t think it has actually 😂. That’s why I think I have the urge to do another one, I feel like I need it verified.
I feel quite sick again, so oddly nice to have that reminder I suppose 🤪

Working on a Saturday? xx

@VP91x I know my body just goes for the thermometer before I even have time to think and I know if I'm up I'll think why not 🙈 just got on the tube home, would be more exciting if I wasn't having to work in chingford tomorrow 😴 What are your weekend plans? xx

@mrsssk i like fertility friend app, think it's my fave at the moment 👌🏾

@MichT4 yeah I was feeling a bit sorry for myself this morning but definitely over that now ☺️ has it sunk in yet? x

@MichT4 I’m terrible with plants too, although I brought a cactus from IKEA over a year ago and it’s still alive 😂😂 that counts as keeping a plant alive right?

@Stayinghopeful92x thank you lovely xx

@MichT4 congratulations 🥰 Happy for u 😁.

@hayleylou89 so sorry to hear about ur wee bonnie but what a positive that your due around the same time this time around she definitely looking over u 😇xx

Thank you @mrsssk, means the world.

You ladies are so great! xxx

@Eli2020 I'm supposed to be trying to lose some lockdown weight but I can't say no to that cheesecake. I'll be dreaming about it tonight 😂

@MichT4 so true with the positive thinking. And if you do have a wobble or feel worried, we're all here for you x

@fafi thank you so much.

And @Rebecca1992 I missed your message earlier - thank you too. I also replied to @HopeForRainbowbaby but didn't say thank you, so thank you .

Don't want to miss anyone.

@VP91x You're right. I need to assume all is well, nothing is telling me otherwise. Hope and positivity got me this far, so I need to continue that. I feel very lucky, blessed and happy and that needs to be my feeling.
We should all be excited about this journey, especially after BFP. Need to take my own advice!

@Northernsoul90 so tempting to do every day but will refrain....maybe 😂

@VP91x forgot to attach the photo!
