@Miscarriage39 I couldn't read and not comment . I have been lurking on this group since I had a MC in May . Men really don't get the emotional an physical impact of TTC and Pregnancy/miscarriage has on us and comments I got like 'oh well it want really anything anyway was it?' Are really unhelpful. I am so sorry for your loss please be kind to yourself. I stupidly didn't even take a day off ( after the day I ended up In ED bleeding on my daughters birthday).
I was also frustrated with my OH for not telling me sooner he had wanted another , I had been hinting for 5 years and then he told me when I was 38 and it's been hard . But I am pregnant again now ( and petrified as i am now at the same gestation as when I had my MC) so I am struggling to enjoy anything I just need to know it's all ok so far . I will prob book an early scan next week when I am 7 weeks . I really hope things work out for you, thinking of you x

@MrsF111 It's definitely looking like a good month for you!SmileXx

H0peing · 23/07/2021 23:35

@PeanuttyButter I think DH and I will have mixed feelings if I get a bfp. Excitement mixed with fear.

I hope that somehow the next bfp works out for all of us! X

PeanuttyButter · 23/07/2021 22:47

@H0peing I think that he's scared it will be a BFP 😁 don't get me wrong we both really want this, this has been demonstrated further with how devastated we were with the mmc. But we are also both shhhh scared haha

H0peing · 23/07/2021 22:43

@PeanuttyButter I hardly ever tell DH when I test. He really doesn't understand that part of it! I'll only bother telling him if I get a bfp. X

H0peing · 23/07/2021 22:41

@Babyghirl Thanks lol xx I called my GP today and spoke to the Receptionist. She read out my results but couldn't interprete them. She said that I'd have to call again at 8am on Monday to speak to a GP. She said:

38.4nmol/L

Confirmed ovulation at the time of test. Progesterone >30 is consistent of ovulation

Not sure what progesterone level is good. Guess I'll find out soon. X

PeanuttyButter · 23/07/2021 22:38

@babyghirl @H0peing DH doesn't know I've already given in and tested but he's told me I cant test till after he's left on Monday as he's got an important appointment that day and doesn't want to be thinking about this all the while he's there.

Babyghirl · 23/07/2021 21:21

@HOpeing
Don't count urself out ur only 7dpo way to early to test lol I'm cd20 today and feel nothing at Al lol but then I don't test until I'm late lol 💚

H0peing · 23/07/2021 20:58

@PeanuttyButter I think I'm 7dpo and poas today with bfn too! Yes, too early to test really. I even started imagining a faint line but when I took a photo of it and zoomed in there was definitely nothing there🙈xxxx

H0peing · 23/07/2021 20:47

@Miscarriage39 I really hope that your camping weekend is helpful xxxx

H0peing · 23/07/2021 20:27

@Miscarriage39 I'm glad that you're not in a lot of pain but sorry that you're going through this. Xx

kiwi17 · 23/07/2021 15:42

Oh @Miscarriage39 you're going through such a tough time plus hormones so it's completely understandable that you are feeling that way. I hope the change of scene will help - it is definitely a help for me. I'm glad you've got your negative anyway and hopefully like you say it'll settle back down again and you can work out your way forward.

Babyghirl · 23/07/2021 14:13

@miscarriage39
Glad things have settled down and you have got a nagitive test, hope you have a good weekend well as much as u can xx

Miscarriage39 · 23/07/2021 12:37

These men really can’t help themselves, can they Kiwi17?!

The bleeding is only minimal now and I got a negative test this morning, which is strangely reassuring, as hopefully everything has worked through naturally. I’m not sure what we’ll do now, though. This has hit me really hard emotionally. I think before, I could allay my fears a bit by telling myself it was a one off, but now I really am thinking we’ve left it too late. I was really horrible to DH yesterday and kept telling him he was a selfish t*^t for not having listened to me when I told him time was running out a couple of years ago. I also failed the doctors and told him he had to book an appointment to get the ball rolling for a vasectomy, which he did. I suspect he really though I was losing the plot, as he didn’t do any work and basically followed me round the house while I hurled abuse at him. Just to be clear, I am not normally like this, and we have a good relationship, but I just felt like I had lost it, and clearly he thought that too (he’s normal really focused on his work). We are away camping again this weekend, so hopefully a change of scene will help a bit.

kiwi17 · 22/07/2021 22:38

@Miscarriage39 so far so good although he did break out to go mountain biking on Monday evening 😂 think we're nearly done with fertile week for now so will dtd tomorrow then he can go running again haha! How are you doing with everything? Has the bleeding stopped?

Miscarriage39 · 22/07/2021 20:01

I really hope it does happen naturally for you, Babyghirl, but also so pleased that you are so close to getting the IVF if not.

🤞 for those of you waiting to test. I really hope this is your lucky month.

How is keeping DH tied to the sofa going Kiwi17? My DH is a runner and he doesn’t cope well with having to take breaks from it, so I can imagine this may not running so much may be a challenge for your man.

MrsF111 · 22/07/2021 18:22

@PeanuttyButter AF is due next Tuesday/Wednesday. My cycles are long! They were 38 days but seem to be getting a couple of days shorter the last 2 cycles. It’s so hard to resist isn’t it! I’m going to hold out at least until Monday (or try too...!). Fingers crossed and lots of baby dust for both of us

PeanuttyButter · 22/07/2021 17:37

@MrsF111 sounds promising fingers crossed for you. Sounds like we are at similar points, what day is AF late for you? Pre MMC my cycle was 24 days so don't know now. But I did O on cd 12/13 so hopefully it's the same and I can test Tuesday if AF doesn't come

I'm 7/8dpo today and I couldn't resist poas and it was bfn and I was expecting it.. so why did I do it haha

MrsF111 · 22/07/2021 14:18

@Babyghirl I’ve read so many stories of people that’s happened to! Fingers crossed for you 🤞🤞

Babyghirl · 22/07/2021 12:59

@mrsF111
Looking very positive 🤞🙏🍀
I got my pre ivf letter the other day said I should get a date in 3 to 4 months hoping things happen on there own before then I do know some people who have got like letters may it be for ivf or rmc and its like a weight lifted of there shoulders and it just happens 💚

MrsF111 · 22/07/2021 11:36

@Babyghirl thank you! Trying to wait until next Wednesday to test 🤞🤞 I had this with my first pregnancy last April, ended in mmc sadly but hoping this will be 3rd time lucky and the end of a dreadful 15 months
