romeo glad the doctors are happy!

How's everyone else feeling today?

I'm not going to test anymore. I've spoken to the ladies on the NK cell board and they have reassured me that cyclogest would not mask a miscarriage so I guess I just sit it out and see.

I wish more than anything that I could go back to before my first pregnancy when I didn't have this anxiety. I'm scared that my breasts don't hurt enough.

Has anyone ever just done the one test and it all turned out ok?

Gr33dyeggs · 07/02/2015 15:00

I've only ever done 1 or 2 tests (because I'm tight). Mc, ds, mc.

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 07/02/2015 15:16

Well my tests were positive yesterday afternoon and Af is now officially late so I guess I'll just wait and see. It's not going to make any difference is it.

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 07/02/2015 15:17

Should I be having cramps by now?

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/02/2015 17:18

1 or 2 test girl here too. We're mega tight saving. First time which was the success full one we bought a posh test but now its usually boots or tesco own brand.

Happy seeing all these bfps!Grin let's keep it up ladies!

GuybrushThreepwoodMP · 07/02/2015 17:32

Snoopy- I say this in the most gentle and loving way possible- it really isn't a case of 'should' be feeling cramps and boobs 'should' be hurting more. I know I'm going to be just as neurotic if I get pg again, but from my currently objective not-pregnant perspective, analysing how your body feels probably won't help you, it will just torture you.

I had two pregnancies. One perfect normal one resulting in my beautiful dd. One identical one which ended at 11 weeks. With both pregnancies, my symptoms disappeared at 9 weeks. With one, it meant that my healthy placenta was talking over. With the other, it meant the pregnancy was ending. So I have learned that symptoms don't actually mean anything.

And no you shouldn't be feeling cramps yet. It's really too early to fell anything. If you were, it would probably be a sign that everything is fine. That you're not is probably also a sign that everything is fine.

Today you are pregnant. Try to just focus on that. Nothing you do will make any difference. Either this is a strong one or it isn't. Most likely it is. I know it's easier said than done, but try not to panic at every symptom or lack of symptom because it won't help you. Every pregnancy is different.

Today you are pregnant and that is so wonderful. Try and hold on to the utter joy. You have a teeny tiny bean growing in your belly. Right now. Smile Smile

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 07/02/2015 17:48

Thank you guy. I'm just really scared. I'm finding it hard to stop crying so I guess that's a symptom.

I had a talk with my inspector today who thinks I'll be fine because statistically it's unlikely to happen again. Apparently there is nothing they can do to stop me going into the same office as three heavily pregnant women regardless of how it makes me feel.

chasingtherainbow · 07/02/2015 17:50

Guy's advice I'd fabulous.

Argh. I met with my sister today and she said something that has totally broken me.

We are discussing ttc as she hopes to be pg by end of yr. And then she turns and says in this slightly condescending tone "well I'm quite relaxed unlike you" - as soon as she said it I burst into tears and she knew she'd been wrong. We are close and I know she didn't mean it like she said it but I just felt like how? You have NO idea what it's like - month after month after month of negatives and then when you finally get a glimmer of hope, your body fails you again. You don't even get your baby.

I'm so hurt. I know she can't understand because she's never been here and I'd never wish it on here but I've been trying since August 2013 and I am broken. I've been in tears ever since.

And to top it off my mother has hurt me again. I don't know why I keep falling into her trap thinking she's changed. I'm such a fool. Still hurts all the sane every time. No more. This was officially nail in the coffin day today.

And breathe.

Snoopysimaginaryfriend · 07/02/2015 18:28

Aww chasing Flowers I'm sorry. I can't imagine going through everything you've been through without my mum. Do you have other family around you?

People can be so insensitive sometimes. Have you spoken to your sister about what happened?

chasingtherainbow · 07/02/2015 18:37

She apologised immediately and we tried to move on but it's had me emotional since.

I've called my best friend and spilled all to her which has helped! DH home soon but he had great upbringing and struggles to understand the complexity of a selfish mother who doesn't really care for you. .. I'm now at that exhausted - stingy eyes- just want icecream in bed stage.

AF better show soon. I'm ready to complete my own little family and throw the V's to my past once and for all.

Gr33dyeggs · 07/02/2015 22:57

chasing CakeWine
I love your last statement. Me too!

MrsConfusion · 08/02/2015 07:13

Many congrats on BFPs ladies - lots of hand holding available for as long as you need it!

My Chances of BFP this month, very last chance before first EDD, have been seriously scuppered by DH working away for 3 nights then we've come to visit friends this weekend and have DD in our room. Argh!!

These friends have 12 second child. I've looked after her so they can sleep, so am writing this with sleeping wee baby on me. Wow and ouch ouch ouch

Have you're having good weekends x

MrsConfusion · 08/02/2015 07:14

12 week old that should say!

ReverseTheTrend · 08/02/2015 07:16

Hi all, have been away for a few days

Glad to hear of some BFPs

Am now on Cycle Day 55 and nothing! Part of me wishes we hadn't started TTC in the WTF cycle as now I have the constant hope I am PG, which shatters every couple of days when I POAS and get a neg.

Also DH and I went to see Big Hero 6 last night. The short before = spoiler = shows a family being complete when a baby comes. We were in floods of tears. Thought we were healing

chasingtherainbow · 08/02/2015 07:56

Oh reverse :-(

((Hugs)) having had regular 50 odd day cycles I know how hard it is.. as if a normal 30 day cycle isn't long enough, it's like being in a constant limbo isn't it. I really hope AF shows soon and you can resume a little normality. (Or you get your bfp!) Perhaps stop doing preg tests and do opks? It does take longer than we expect to heal. On a day to day basis I feel so much better, 3/4 months on.. but some days it hits me like new all over again.

Take care if yourself x

Gr33dyeggs · 08/02/2015 09:09

reverse , I agree with chasing that it takes longer to recover than you think. My mc was early November and despite having periods I'm pretty sure I haven't yet ovulated yet. (I'm having day 21 bloods this cycle, but think it may have happened this time).

And as for 'hitting you' DS reading book from school this week is about 'the new baby' :-(

chasingtherainbow · 08/02/2015 10:01

Oh greedy :( dd asked me if there was a new baby in my tummy yet. . . No there isn't honey. Maybe one day. . . .but why?

Why? Not for want of trying my girl Sad

Treaclepie19 · 08/02/2015 13:03

Just popping in to send hugs to those who need them and put this back on my active threads to keep an eye on you all x

Allthequeenshorses · 08/02/2015 16:12

Afternoon ladies, thinking of you all. More misery here as well with horrific af on Thursday, two days late, witch. Cosied in with Jammies on catching up now. X

chasingtherainbow · 08/02/2015 17:00

--I accidentally bought a pram in a closing down sale and now think I've jinxed myself-'

chasingtherainbow · 08/02/2015 17:01

Shock cross out fail Blush

Cariad2014 · 08/02/2015 18:40

Oh AlltheQueens - so sorry to hear about AF's arrival. I've been thinking of you. Hope things have improved on the work front. Flowers

10dpo at this end and I've rather stupidly got my hopes up so expecting the usual crushing blow when AF comes and finds me next Thursday/Friday. This will be my last shot at a BFP before my first (6 March) EDD...

fififolle · 08/02/2015 19:44

I was just about to come on here and post a good old self centred moan...but reading back over recent posts all I can say is that you ladies are fantastic!

I'm pissed off that despite starting Accupuncture, taking a relaxed approach but paying close attention to CM and DTD lots, AF has arrived in force today. I had a MMC in October, followed by medical management and an ERPC at the end of the month. I'm feeling so much better than over the last few months and really got my hopes up as I was 2 days late this month- and can understand your frustration Allthequeens. It really does seem to be getting further out of my reach.

But... it's so good to be able to chat to ladies in a similar position, it's so reassuring to read some of the posts. I know I'm being impatient in waiting for my BFP. Greedy's post was spot on and, looking back, I guess I'm not ovulating properly yet. I got pg v fast with DS and also when I had my MMC. I've tried using OPKs but, as we all know, they only detect the LH surge, not the actual ovulation. We've beeing DTD plenty at exactly the right time so I guess that I just need to allow my body more healing time.

chasing you haven't jinxed yourself, you will get pregnant and would have kicked yourself for missing such a bargain.

chasingtherainbow · 09/02/2015 06:21

Cd29. A day later than last month's cycle with absolutely zero AF symptoms. My right boob has begun leaking milk again (halppens every so often despite not breastfeeding for 2 years!)

Oh come on AF. I want to ttc. Why is my body doing this to me this of all months? How cruel can you be?!

chasingtherainbow · 09/02/2015 07:19

Ok.. moan over... CD1! Boom. 3 months of 28 day cycles. . Yes!

March bfp here I come.
