🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 8 ttc after mc 🦕🦕

@PeanuttyButter still no sign of af yet but I think she will be here by the weekend so many cramps but if things look right I might ovulate again on Xmas eve so who knows lol I haven't tested again at all too scared too lol xx

@Babyghirl thank you

@PeanuttyButter how are you feeling x

@apwilso
@PeanuttyButter
Is approaching hers is the 23 of Dec will be thinking of the 2 off you xx

Sorry not kept up to date!

Is anyone else's MC due date this month. My due date was the 21st and I'm feeling so emotional about it as I haven't got pregnant since 😥

Keep us updated @sweetbabydust1989 we could do with a Christmas miracle in this thread

@PeanuttyButter thanks lovely i am not one for rooting round my lady garden I got a tampon stuck when I was like 13 put me off for life 🤣 it was one of those little ones without an applicator thing all my aunty had at the time 🤣 well I am cramping more now so I think af might be on her way unless it's implantation If she comes tomorrow my lh phase will be rather short this month which will be new as I am usually a 13 kinda day between ovulation and periods xx

@sweetbabydust1989 I got some before my bfp. Could be coincidence, at the time I was forever rummaging around my cervix looking for the start of AF (or lack of it). Wishing you all the luck that it's what it is.

@Babyghirl mine stretched quite a bit and didn't break I am confused on why I have that bodies are rather confusing I did even take an ovulation test to confirm I wasn't double ovulating this month and that was low fertility xx

@sweetbabydust1989
What I'm lead to believe is it stretchs but not as much as ewcm would so only a wee bit then break xx

@Annny27 yes I tested this morning bfn but for some weird reason I am getting ewcm so who knows I am ok about it all as I am only 10dpo period due on Sunday how are you doing lovely? Xx

Quick question rather a stupid one so forgive me 🙈 does sperm stretch?? I had sex last night.. So I am 10dpo negative test when I was undressing for a bath I noticed a bit of ewcm I was like wtf it was clear as day and stretchy why would I be getting that at this time cramps have died down boobs have been on and off sore today anyone had this before?? Xx

@PeanuttyButter oh bless you lovely, I’m dreading my due date. I have constant reminders of where I would be as a family friend got pregnant at pretty much exactly the same time. They just did a huge gender reveal, broke me completely, again….. 😵‍💫
I think planting a seed is a really nice thought! Even just a daffodil bulb in a beautiful spot that you could go back to visit in Spring, make it your special place ❤️❤️❤️

@PeanuttyButter
No date yet but I assume it will be after Christmas now as I'm on CD1 of full period and I think you have to phone on the first day of your period what I have read up on anyway will give them a ring tomorrow, awww due dates are so tough I have a charm on my bracelet for each baby I have lost on the date I have lost them. How about you plant some seeds in a wee flower pot and watch it grow. And then plant it in the garden if you have one with a wee plaque with the date on it 💐

Hey lovelies xxx

@Annny27 yeah, I’m approaching OV - predicted for Friday so the BD’ing has commenced 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️
Bit more difficult this month - OH giving up drinking which he did to help insomnia..,
Whilst drinking he’d come to bed very in the mood at 3/4am … I dealt with being woken up for getting the deed done 🤣
Now he’s staying up until stupid o’clock, sleeping half the day and totally not in the mood!!
I’m having to literally jump him while he’s asleep ffs 🤣🤣 the things we have to do 🙄
We DTD every other day from CD6/7 (I’ve got a 26 day cycle) then every day for a couple of days after LH peak

Let’s hope for epic christmas presents!!

@HeyFloof omg what an awful awful ride you’ve had. Sending you so so much love ❤️❤️❤️ So sorry you’ve had to deal with so much xxxxxxx

I’m in a quandary this cycle…. I obviously SO want to get pregnant but we go away for 3 weeks on the 29th to Egypt and if I am pregnant I’ll be freaking the whole time!! Plus OH will freak about me flying 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Sorry AF came @babyghirl have you got any IVF dates scheduled yet?

Guys as my first due date is getting closer I'm thinking more and more about what I should do that day. I really hoped I'd be pregnant by the time it came around (and I was, then I wasn't again). I obviously don't want to 'celebrate' or get myself in too much of a downer about it but I don't feel I can let it pass without recognition, especially with it being so close to Xmas (23rd) and especially as all the Xmas countdowns I see I feel are just counting down to the day. There's been 3 more pregnancy announcements this week for me too, at this rate literally everyone I know Is going to have had a baby since I first got pregnant. I suspect someone else too as she's dropped out of the Xmas do at the last minute (all inclusive bar) as she now has to drive and it's not worth it, yet she caught my eye and I could see pity there so I know that's coming. Argh why is it so bloody hard.
I'm not crying (at the moment haha) but it feels bloody unfair

@Heyfloof
So sorry to read your journey, glad you found us for support here if you need to vent. Sorry took so long to reply not getting notified on msg for some reason. 💐

@Annny27 @PeanuttyButter
I don't know what's going on im not getting notifications for msg at all so only getting back to yous now, yep made her appearance yesterday but full on today lol back to work tomorrow alot better thankgod, how r you ladies getting on. 💚

@Annny27 we try to DTD 3-4 times in fertile week, usually dictated by OPKs sometimes we start too early and have to carry on. That's happened this month I think. We've DTD on cd 3,7,9,11,12, 14 and 16 seemed to have two peaks this month so God knows what's going on. Thinking an anovulatory cycle tbh. God knows when AF is now due.

@babyghirl did AF come?

@HeyFloof welcome to the group. Sorry it’s taken this long for a reply and I’m soo sorry for what you your family have gone through, it’s unimaginable. Did they investigate/conclude why 2 of your little angels had the same condition? And more importantly how it may potentially be avoided next time? My heart breaks for you reading your story, what a strong woman you are x

Hey @PeanuttyButter I think I might be out cramping like mad especially with my lower back 😩 xx

Sorry @Sweetbabydust1989 didn't seem to get a notification that someone had posted.
Good luck with your testing next weekend.

I'm at the end of fertile week. OPKs been positive for 2 days now so O keeps being pushed back a day. Been super stressed so putting it down to that , not confident this cycle will be successful as a result. DTD as much as we could and that's all we can do. AF due. Good luck anyone testing in next few days x

Hello everyone how are you all doing it's been a while recovery is a long distant memory other half had his op recovered well so we are back on baby making fun!! I am currently 8dpo and feel crap loads of af cramps but more in my stomach. I am due on Sunday so not even sure when to early test xx

Hi ladies. I hope its OK that I'm here and joining in.

I'm Floof, 35 with one living DS who just turned 5. Started properly ttc #2 in December 2019. Fell pregnant in the June with DS2, who we lost at 21+4 (tfmr
unsurvivable spina bifida). Then had a chemical pregnancy in the January 2021. A MMC in July 2021, never developed past 6 weeks, medical management at 10 weeks. And now again, our DD1 was born yesterday at 15+1 (tfmr due to unsurvivable spina bifida).

We are heartbroken and bruised. But have decided to try once more. I need to heal physically first. But hoping to join in here, if that's OK?

@Kelb79
Awww big hugs, getting your period is bitter sweet it's like putting salt on the wound. Just think your body is doing what it needs to do for the next little bean to stick. And with all your hormones during your period it makes it ten times worse but you will get through it 💐

@Kelb79 sorry you are struggling I know exactly what you are going through, the heartbreak hurts so much doesn't it. Once AF is gone you will feel better and a sense of moving forward. You are at the start of a new cycle afterall and this is what your body needs just think about it like that. In the meantime cobtiy to do what you've done and vent to us. That's what we are here for x
