Sorry for your loss @MammaJ21 sending lots of love xxx

soontobeamama · 10/04/2021 15:25

Oh @MammaJ21 - so sorry for your loss. Hope the bleeding stops soon. Take care xx

minthumbugs · 10/04/2021 14:24

@MammaJ21 that's rubbish it's so frustrating when you're ready and waiting for your body to catch up! Hope it goes away soon for you, baby dust xxx

minthumbugs · 10/04/2021 14:23

Omg @CycloGoose did you predict it 😂 how wonderful that you have come back into each others' lives again! Haha we started too early too. Happy to have a break for a few days 😳

Hopefully you can get another one on the NHS @lucea87!

@galt21 glad you have put your mind at ease. How long have you been TTC will this be your first?

Don't think we have heard from @slinks8113 in a while! Or sallyjo (won't let me tag her) wonder how they are getting on. Xx

CycloGoose · 10/04/2021 13:25

Oh I'm sorry @mammaj21 I think I missed that. I'm really sorry for your loss and drawn out bleeding 😔

MammaJ21 · 10/04/2021 13:05

Sending love to all.
@lucea87 thats amazing. I feel emotional for you! 👶👶
Still bleeding a bit from early MC. strange as the last one I was further along and bled for a week (like my normal cycle) it's only been a couple of extra days this time and it's not much, but want it to stop fully before looking at opks.

What a rollercoaster we are all on, all different tracks and stories, but the end goal is the same!

CycloGoose · 10/04/2021 12:55

🤣😂🤣 well TBF it was the twin rabbits that came and sat outside my window when I was talking to you. But then I did have a full on scan dream where they told you about the twins a week ago 🤣😂🤣

Galt21 · 10/04/2021 12:49

Thanks so much for your kind message @CycloGoose, having a forum to reach out too is worth so much. Il take comfort in that next time could be so much worth waiting for. Congratulations @lucea87 on such a wonderful update❤️🥰

lucea87 · 10/04/2021 12:46

It's true! @CycloGoose is the real TTC psychic!!!!

CycloGoose · 10/04/2021 12:41

It is a lonely feeling to be sure @galt21 but we're here if you want to chat. Never worry that anything like that is your fault and know it's also quite normal. @lucea87 had an odd long cycle and then next month - bam! Twins! Which I called over 3 weeks ago by the way 🤣🤣😘😘
Sorry @Veronika13 I'm hoping it will be your time soon.
Has anyone heard from @slinks8113 lately? I don't know if I missed something as it has been quite full on on here!
Hope everyone well.
I'm cd15 now and waiting for my peak opk. Temp dropped this morning so I'm hoping ovulation to follow soon! We might have started BD a bit early! Going to need a break soon!

lucea87 · 10/04/2021 12:34

@minthumbugs of course will keep you posted! We planned on another early scan but I'm going to see what the midwife says next week as I have my booking appointment on Wednesday and I'm wondering if they might want to do their own early scan 🤞🏼x

Galt21 · 10/04/2021 12:23

I did the test 20 minutes ago and it came back negative. I feel a sense of relief that it came negative as my work is physical and afraid I may have over lifted or something. Never been late to this extent just hoping it's a fluke late period and better luck next time. Thanks so much for taking the time to message me , it's a lonely feeling X

minthumbugs · 10/04/2021 11:25

I'm so happy for you @lucea87 🥰 and what a nice surprise! Will you have another early scan before the dating one? Keep us updated 😁

@galt21 oh what a situation. It could be a fluke late period but I think you need to figure out if it was an early loss how you would feel if you knew/if you were never to know. I don't know what I would want to do! X

Galt21 · 10/04/2021 10:08

First day of my last cycle was March 9th. In accordance to the app I was due to ovulate on Mar 21st so my husband and I tried to conceive that night of March 21st. My period was due April 5th according to the App but up until this morning I was 5days late. I got a pregnancy test kit last night but decided I would wait until morning to test, woke this morning to a blood stained panty. Should I test myself to see if I was pregnant and suffered a pregnancy loss or spare the kit for next time? My period is normally only a day ahead or a day later than what the app predicts. Any feedback or opinion would be greatly appreciated right now . Thanks in advance

@minthumbugs

Oh my god *@lucea87*!!!!! Wow!!!! Woweeeee bet you weren't expecting that. How are you feeling? X
Excited and terrified!! We've got a long way to go still, I'm 6+3 today. Was amazing to see them though but quite the shock!
minthumbugs · 10/04/2021 09:36

Oh my god @lucea87!!!!! Wow!!!! Woweeeee bet you weren't expecting that. How are you feeling? X

@soontobeamama

Wow *@lucea87* - is that twins???? Many congratulations to you - how lovely! xx
Yep! There was most definitely 2 in there 🙈 argh!
soontobeamama · 10/04/2021 09:03

Wow @lucea87 - is that twins????
Many congratulations to you - how lovely! xx

lucea87 · 10/04/2021 08:52

Hello lovely ladies. I've been keeping an eye out for your BFP's and sending you all baby dust. I wasn't sure whether to come and update you or not but here goes. I had my early scan yesterday 😳😳

Can't quite believe it 🥰

minthumbugs · 09/04/2021 22:00

Oh noooo @Iloveoreos! Who would have known we would have sun and snow on the same day (where I am anyway!!)

@kaylsd love that - need it to keep me going! you're always working so hard, what a trooper. We will get there! XXX

Sorry @Veronika13 :( it really sucks to see those two words. That's really frustrating when you've done everything you can. Really hope it's next time for you. X

Veronika13 · 09/04/2021 21:44

I'm out :( first month ttc but I was so confident as dtd daily! And last months' bloods showed I ovulated at the exact time as the Flo app.

Well, here's to the next month :) It's a journey, and it's different for Everyone. The right time will come x

I will reply you all lovely ladies when I can! Just been swamped over at work all day today and I'm work over the weekend again 😩😩 sending lots of baby dust and hugs! Saw this and thought of each one of our TTC journey, although our lovely other half / inlaw family may make us feel like there's a clock ticking, or a real interest if we don't drink on one occasion or like my MIL personal period "I bet you haven't long since come off have you?" As a gentle nosey moment to see what's going off 😂 but we have got this! Whether it's next week, next month or even next year (god forbid but you never know) we have got this and we will have our BFP moment 🤞🏻🌈🤗👶❤️

@minthumbugs i kno right..plus they all have been mothers and some now even grandmothers so they of all ppl know it best!
Oh well
On a separate note..i put tomato plants out too soon and they are dieing in cold 🤣🥶

minthumbugs · 09/04/2021 15:53

@CycloGoose you have been just as strong the last few months xxx

Totally get it not wanting to tell people until after someone is due, feels a bit like stealing their thunder! I have a feeling DP's cousin and his partner are trying. They're really close but I feel as if if they do fall pregnant they won't tell us for a long time so as not to hurt us but I feel like that would be worse to find out so late. Even though this is just a hypothetical situation I'm upsetting myself about. Haha, I reaaalllyy need to take a chill pill. X

@Iloveoreos that's awful. You would think with how well known miscarriage/infertility stats are PLUS the stress of going through TTC even without that people would simply learn to keep their mouths firmly closed!

that's good your family have backed off @Kitty0389 - it's one extra stress you just don't need!!!

Kitty0389 · 09/04/2021 15:44

@Iloveoreos
I’m sorry your family is being rubbish. I’ve been mostly lucky, but those who have asked have gotten the truth. I’m undergoing fertility testing, so not to hold their breath for it happening any time soon. I’ve found it quite liberating, taken the pressure off and they’ve backed off. But it sounds like you might not feel comfortable with that way so just do whatever you need to do to keep your MH safe. Xx
