Love the bedroom designs! Especially the suggestive (?) train pics!

Back from holiday and period arrived with white water rapids vengeance, the little bitch. Now focusing on making my bedroom look incredibly sexy. Please don't be jealous about how great these designs look, I don't mind if you steal some of this hot style.

@ToeBeans24 fingers and toes crossed for you, keep us updated :)

That's so hard @ToeBeans24 😔 sending you hugs too, and calming patient thoughts to help you hold out until the weekend. Not long to go!
Do you have any distractions to keep you going until then?

AF due today. Normally spot day before. Nothing so far just light cramps. Resting heart rate has shot up too. Normally starts going down 🤷🏼‍♀️ don’t want to get my hopes up. Holding off til Sat at the earliest to test. I did track via OPKs this month but given the random surge of EWCM later in cycle I wonder if I actually ovulated later

@Sarah268 I’m so sorry. I feel for you and totally understand. One of my best friends had her fourth baby today 😔

Thanks so much, I just really needed to get that out! It really just makes you realise you have no idea what others are silently going through.

feels like as soon as you start trying, there are suddenly babies everywhere and everyone is getting pregnant instantly with no problems! It’s such a headf*ck!

Oh @Sarah268 my heart is breaking for you. Sending lots of love and hugs xxx

@Sarah268 sending lots of hugs- it sucks and nothing can make it better. Allow yourself to feel all the ugly emotions in a safe place and give yourself some grace. It’s tough and you have every right to feel what you do 💗

God guys, some close friends just announced they are pregnant. Due same time as my miscarriage would have been. I’m honestly beside myself I can’t stop crying. Why is this so horrible, I really want to be happy for them 💔

@Ontheflipside_ thanks for your reply- I’m already 3 days late but the other spotting is just what I’ve been getting for the past 11 days. I might try and contact doctors again if I don’t get my period by the end of the week. I really hope this doesn’t impact my chances the next cycle!

Ladies, can I pick your brains please?
I’m highly doubtful/know I’m not pregnant at this point BUT I’m really not sure if I’ve started my period. Of course my spotting has happened for what now feels like 85 years and I genuinely thought I started this afternoon when I received this when I wiped- red with what looks like a clot/small pool of blood (I’ve attached an image which I’m sorry is quite graphic so please be warned!) but it’s gone back to brown spotting (again I’ve attached a couple picture of what it’s been looking like)

My usual is that as soon as I get red/proper period it’s pretty full flow and very much an obvious period. However this is not like anything I have had… I really don’t know if to class this as my first day of my period or if I should still class it as spotting on my app. Hardly getting anything in my pants/pad just when I wipe.

thank you guys in advance for your help and sorry for the images! 🙈

@MissEmily5 @Ontheflipside_ I’ve often worried about if my lining is thin (never had it checked) but my AF is always very light. Although has been for years so hoping that’s the norm.

No AF here yet. Due today/tomorrow. No spotting yet either. Hopefully I’m just a late HCG bloomer but not getting hopes up again.

Sorry @Hopethisendswell i hope the symptoms aren’t too bad for you. Wine and chocolate! X

@Ontheflipside_ no me either, I wish there was a test that I could do at home to check and see if there is any improvement!! 🙈 I bought my OH pumpkin seeds as they’re meant to improve sperm but I didn’t realise they helped with lining thickness, I’ll have to have them too now.

They certainly will! No matter how much I rattle with all the different vitamins😂

@Hopethisendswell aw I’m so sorry- how are you feeling about it all? 💗

Definitely not pregnant this month...
AF has arrived with a vengeance!

Hopefully the odds are more in your favour, I'm sure we'll get another BFP on here by the start of next week 🥰 fingers crossed for everyone still waiting xxx

@Ontheflipside_ yeah I read that it should be about 8mm but when I questioned the consultant on this she said it is possible for those with thinner linings too- I think 8mm is what they look for when doing IVF. I also asked to be put on medication to help thicken it up and she said it wasn’t necessary at this point and that lining thickness can fluctuate.
I take Fertility Smart supplements (which have a lot of the recommended vitamins), vitamin E 1000mg- both of these are quite pricey. I also take omega fish oil, I also have 5 Brazil nuts a day, drink raspberry leaf tea (before ovulation only) and started having pineapple core after ovulation.
You would think that I would never get ill with the amount of vitamins/tablets I take 🙈😂 but alas, working in a school doesn’t help with it all!

@Ontheflipside_ I’m the same, it’s easy to lose track of what has been said! My first transvaginal scan was on CD30, the day before my period came and was a very low 2.5mm, the lady who conducted the scan said that is the thickness that they would expect from someone who was a couple of days past having there period. My second scan, conducted a month later was on CD20 and was 5.7mm, still thin- should have been about 6-8mm but a big improvement. I do take a number of supplements and eat/drink majority of the recommended things, so hopefully that is helping. My FS did say that it is completely possible to conceive and go on with a healthy pregnancy with a 5.7mm endometrial lining.
is this something you’re concerned about?

Urgh I am now 12dpo and still getting symptoms. Sore boobs and nauseous this morning. Do I go buy a clear blue early test or wait until 14dpo and use cheapy? I'm torturing myself lol

Morning @Ontheflipside_, sorry to hear that you have been suffering this time. Hope you get some relief soon.

Another BFN here, but spotting is bright red now, so fully expecting to see AF this evening.

Hope everyone has a great day and a BFP waiting for you xxx
