@Babyghirl

Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

Sorry @scrumdiddly123 I meant to tag @SunnySideUp2020 in my previous post 🙈

For anyone who wanted to know , the things we did this month:

  • DH is on month 3 of wellman and I really think this improved his morphology, obviously I don’t know for definite but they say it takes 100 days for a change to take effect
  • I take a tablet daily that contains 400 folic and 10 vitamin D , and that’s all I take. Have also been taking these ones for around 3 months now too. They’re just from boots
  • I followed @scrumdiddly123 's dtd plan 😂 normally we dtd every other day but done 2 days at a time , I have attached my chart (I think ov was cd18)
  • Both me and DH are non smokers, don’t drink and we cut back on caffeine
  • I done ov tests only during fertile week but mainly based my ov prediction on cm

No other differences. I really hope this helps one of you ladies

Thank you @chali7 & @lozza2206 💕

@Annny27 glad you have a busy week to hopefully distract you from symptom spotting 😛 DH is sooo excited bless him. He was so happy when the test was positive. I hate that my previous miscarriage has made me not be able to get excited for this pregnancy. Hopefully I will feel better once we've had some scans and know all is okay. Haha yes I won't have to get him anything. I'll tell him me and 🌈 is all the present he gets haha.
Good luck with your appointment next Monday! What is it for?

Thank you for the reassurance @ChampooPapi I really hope these are normal cramps and not miscarriage cramps!

Babyghirl · 10/02/2021 18:55

@lozza2206
My bro told me nt long after having my first loss he was having another oner and had him few days after my second loss could nt face meeting him for ages xx

ChampooPapi · 10/02/2021 18:44

@Nuggetlover27 yes cramps very normal. I've had them with all my successful pregnancies. Such a strong line is a great sign too 🙌🌈

lozza2206 · 10/02/2021 17:49

@Babyghirl I can relate!! The day I found out about my recent one, one of my best friends FaceTimed me telling me she was pregnant with her baby scan picture... I deserved a bloody Oscar for the performance I put on. It's a horrible feeling but it goes and hope comes back. Thanks for the help 🥰

Babyghirl · 10/02/2021 17:45

@lozza2206
I say to expect it any day nw but hoping it does not come for u 🙏🤞🍀💚 I'm a hate the world at the min anybody that's pregnant I can't stand to be near them or newborns.
@Annny27
Hoping mines comes through very soon as I'm desperate to try again but don't want a 5th miscarriage on my hands hopefully your app is a positive one. 💚
@chali7
Awful feeling feeling so alone. With so many around you. 💚

lozza2206 · 10/02/2021 17:11

Thanks for the help 🥰

@Babyghirl thank you, I was 12 weeks along but I got the negative pregnancy test 2 weeks after the surgery. I got a positive ovulation test on cd22 so I think I'm about 13dpo so my period should come this weekend. Hope you're doing ok, this is an emotional rollercoaster, I find some days I get up and think ok I'm happy with my life and I can move on from this and other days hate everyone and wanna cry. I am hoping you will get yourself on track soon xx

Thank you girls for being someone to talk to, I find always talking to my partner everyday kills the fun out of our relationship xxx

Annny27 · 10/02/2021 16:55

Afternnon ladies :D pretty busy this week which is good in the tww haha!

@Nuggetlover27 nothing too drastic then 🥰 how is your DH feeling? And yeah cramping is super normal even though every pregnant women wishes cramps weren't a thing that happened in pregnancy! You don't need to bother getting a valentines gift for your husband now.....youaregrowing your baby haha

@Babyghirl its totally normal to have up and downs days especially given your 4th loss! Its a hard time :( have you considered speaking to a grief counsellor or similar?

@lozza2206 it depends. My luteal phase (the time after ovulation) is around 14-16 days

@ELM7 yeah deffo call to ask for the specific and even if morphology is low it could just be a one time sample thing like my husbands:)

Do you have any more appointments with fertility? I have one next monday

chali7 · 10/02/2021 16:44

I'm the same, just remember to talk about your feelings if they do get too much ❤ xx

Babyghirl · 10/02/2021 16:00

@chali7
I'm one to bounce bck quick most off the time, put a smile on my face and hide wat I'm really feeling tbh I hate feeling weak prop wrong tbh but I'm OK xx

chali7 · 10/02/2021 11:52

I'm good thanks @Babyghirl just nervous and anxious all the time! I don't think that feeling will go away though.

Great to hear they are pushing it through for you! Really hoing you get some answers! How are you keeping in yourself? Xxx

Babyghirl · 10/02/2021 11:49

@chali7
I phoned fertility clinic the other day she was leaving a note on Dr tangs desk and going to get him to ring me. Dr also rushing through the rmc for me to so hopefully hear from them to how r you doing xx

Babyghirl · 10/02/2021 11:47

@lozza2206
Depends on the length of the second half of ur cycle but they say it should be no longer than 15 16 days but for most it's norm 14 days it can take anything from 4 to 8 weeks to get ur period back depending on how far along u where and how high and how long it took for ur hormones to settle down. And not everyone ovulates first month after a loss have you done a test after ur loss to get a nagitive result xx

lozza2206 · 10/02/2021 11:08

So I haven't had a period since my surgery at the beginning of Jan... just so I kinda have an idea, how many days from ovulation day should your period arrive?

@Nuggetlover27 massive congratulations 🌈💗 sending lots of love your way

chali7 · 10/02/2021 10:53

Oh wow I have missed so much!
Congratulations @Nuggetlover27 what a great line 🤞❤ happy and healthy 9 months to you!

@Babyghirl how are you feeling now? Any news on an appointment?

Xxx

Nuggetlover27 · 10/02/2021 09:44

Thank you so much ladies 💕💕
@ELM7 @Annny27 @Babyghirl @Leok83 @scrumdiddly123 @ChampooPapi

@ELM7 my fingers are crossed for your FW! Sending hugs 💐

@Annny27 you will get your time soon I'm sure of it! 💕 I've had really sore boobs and heartburn but other than that no symptoms to note yet!

@Leok83 thank you for the reassurance on the cramps! I know I'm just thinking the worse but really hoping this is our 🌈

ChampooPapi · 10/02/2021 09:17

Congratulations @Nuggetlover27 ! Amazing news, so happy for you 🥰

scrumdiddly123 · 10/02/2021 08:02

@Nuggetlover27 🥳🥳🥳 no denying that BFP! Congratulations!! So pleased for you xx

Leok83 · 10/02/2021 07:47

Hey ladies! I lost ye for a while and just found ye again!

@Nuggetlover27 I am so happy for you to see that fabulous BFP!! What a lovely strong line! Congratulations!! Also if you get worried about the cramps I had them too up until about 6 weeks..got milder as days went by. My GP wanted me to get an EPU referral but with covid meaning appts there were hard to get she told a white lie and said I was cramping (would have been 6 weeks then) so I got to EPU at 7 weeks and got a scan (and also told white lie that I was still getting mild cramps) and they assured me cramping was totally normal and not to worry!! Got put on progesterone and aspirin then.

@Babyghirl I'm so sorry for your loss. You've had so much to endure I hope you get your referral and answers soon. Xx

@Annny27 it's definitely your turn next..can't wait to log on some day very soon and see ur BFP!!

@ELM7 I'm sorry ur having a rough time too..I found the first period after MC was just the worst and I was so emotional. But I suppose in a way it's prob what our bodies need and now you are starting back on a clean slate. Hope you start to feel better soon and hopefully it won't be as long this time round for your next BFP. xx

Babyghirl · 09/02/2021 21:02

@ELM7
Sorry your feeling so down this ttc is awful when it's all you want but it makes us even more determined not to give up to get wat we want xx

Babyghirl · 09/02/2021 21:00

@nuggetlover27
Omg I'm delighted for you such a great line on a clear blue 🤗🍀🤗🍀
@ELM7
Hoping the pick my energy back up again I need it I'm like a zombie 😂😂😂😂
@Annny27
Your turn next girl I can feel it 🙏🤞💚🍀

ELM7 · 09/02/2021 19:31

@Annny27 I really do hope it’s your turn next.

I really just wish I could forget about getting pregnant and staying pregnant but it is just all consuming and feels like I will never get to hold my baby. (Sorry pitty party going on here) Got hubby back on some vitamins. Haven’t quite got as far as him changing his boxers yet, I never actually got his numbers from SA as Dr at the time was just like well it’s irrelevant now but mentioned about morphology I think. We’ve got a phone consultation mid March so will see what they say (Luckily I never cancelled the appt when I got the positive)

I’ve not been feeling great really tired and headaches which I took to a new level when I passed out so have been to Drs for a MOT and everything has come back fine. But pleased they also tested thyroid as know that can effect TTC and that level is in the normal range so that’s good.

Annny27 · 09/02/2021 19:09

Ahhhhhh congratulations @Nuggetlover27 :D :D bet you feel so all over the place! Any symptoms or lack of normal tww symptoms?

Okay I am officially the only original lady not to have had a bfp haha! (Even if some of them haven't worked out 😪😪😪)
So now its my turn 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@ELM7 even after all this turmoil we still have hope each month which is painful but also good that we haven't given up! Its rubbish month after month. Have you started your DH on vitamins/loose boxers etc because of his morphology?

ELM7 · 09/02/2021 19:03

@Babyghirl hope the iron tablets help and you start to feel better but take time as it’s been a rough few weeks for you.

@Annny27 fingers crossed this is your month too and you will be following @Nuggetlover27 with your BFP.

Sorry I’ve been quiet just been feeling a bit sorry for myself. AF arrived when expected. The first one after the MC and of course I’d stupidly hoped that it wouldnt come and I’d be one of those people to fall pregnant straight away - comical seeing as it took over a year to get that BFP after the first miscarriage. 🤦🏼‍♀️ So CD8 here and gearing up for FW.

Welcome to the new ladies. Sorry you find yourself here but hope it won’t be long before you get your rainbow babies.
