ttc after mc- the best shit place to be! #3

[northdownmummy]

looking forward to new beginnings in the new year

I have 3 apps!! haha I have the ovia pregnancy one as I had the ovia period/ ovulation tracker

the bounty pregnancy one that's recommended in the bounty pack and pregnancy plus. they all have different info so I like to check them all!!

I'll remember those

It's so reassuring to hear that things are going well for our recent bfp's. Xx

Great news Carrot, so happy for you that everything has passed and it's just your levels that still need to drop.

MrsE glad to hear that you're keeping well, we're all here for you.

Ok so I'm scared to think or even type this but I'm CD16 of a 27 day cycle and I've been cramping terribly. The month I got my BFP I started cramping at CD17 and it carried on right up until AF didn't arrive. I waited to test and got a BFP straight away at 3 days late.

This is the only place I can say this as would never say anything to other half at this point. I'm not imagining it, it's too sore for that, but I'm bloated and sore... Exactly the way I was when I got my BFP. 11 days until AF is due... Gonna be a looonnngggg week and a half. Nervous...

carrot good news that you don't have to have any interventions. Your frustration is totally understandable- hopefully very soon your hormones will see sense and drop down.

teenie will keep my hopes up for you! Jealous of your short cycles, I'm on CD 15 and haven't ovulated yet. Hopefully I will ovulate this cycle, especially since the next time I will likely be away without DH. But anyway, one cycle at a time I suppose

keeping my fingers crossed for you teenie x

Sounds promising Teenie. A BFN for me this morning at 12dpo, so I'm fairly sure I'm out.

It's hit me really hard, not least because I'd built up my hopes and was super keen to get a BFP before my first (6 March EDD). Ah well, onwards and upwards.

Oh cariad. Remember your not out till your out so there really is still a bit of hope. But for you right now.

I'm convincing myself that this month really is it. So I'm not looking forward to testing next month either. I know I'll take it mega hard. Especially as I really really don't want a Christmas baby so March ttc is out (and we are away with family too much)

Anyone else testing March?

knicker checking in full force. lost bean #1 this time.last pregnancy so am paranoid it might happen again. had lots of sharp pains so I'm confident my uterus is growing but still checking knickers after every cough sneeze and splutter!!
can't remember who said it but its something thats been stuck in my head is 'today I am pregnant'

I get to see the midwife tomorrow so I will bombard her with questions!

Yes definitely the approach I am taking when it happens next! "Today I am pregnant" is a great way to try and focus your mind to the moment I think

Yay for seeing the mw!

my mil/fil have been telling everyone they meet that I'm pg! I'm 6+6 today so it's still really early but it's annoyed me that they have told friends especially after we asked them to keep quiet until 13 weeks and after we as a couple had said something! next time round defo keeping it to ourselves until much later! and my mum who usually tells everyone everything has been very quiet with it!

this sounds so trivial compared to some of your battles and very self centered!

Baby . bombed

Feeling a complete wreck.

Oh chasing that's so hard, and unMN hugs. Can you hide away for a bit?

MrsE so annoying when people share your news without permission - we had to ban fil from Facebook after he broke engagement news before we had told family. Thinking of you as you pass your milestone date.

Not at all sure if I've ov this month, haven't spotted ewcm and as DH has been away, DTD has gone it fits and starts. Felt like lots but then you look at app and see all the gaps. No idea if I'm on for another 35 day cycle (so should DTD tonight) or if back to 28 so give up DTD. How great would it be to have a peek inside now and again to see what's going on?!

carrot so glad scan was clear, I know how hard it is waiting for hormones to drop - mine took over 5 weeks from loss at 7 weeks - but you will get there.

cariad so sorry for bfn, you're not definitely out til AF appears.

this is our first together and really nervous that it won't stick and have only told close family but they've told everyone and anyone! I'll feel gutted if bean doesn't.stick!

Oh MrsE I would be furious at them telling everyone and anyone... I'm not sure what we will do if/when we conceive again. My dad has a big mouth and had real problems keeping the secret last time... I'd probably like to keep it to ourselves until an early 8 week scan reveals all is well. Only after that would we tell parents. Friends and work would probably be once 12 week scan is under our belt.

Chasing are you ok? Baby bombing is the worst isn't it? I've literally had 5 friends fall pregnant since December. It really knocks you for six, like someone kicking you really hard out of the blue. Hugs.

Cariad how many dpo are you? And when if AF due? Sorry if I've missed this...

Today for me... Cramps, cramps and more cramps... Started yesterday lunchtime, woke me up through the night and have continued into today. When I went to the loo at about 4pm there was a teeny spot of brown cm on my underwear and nothing when I wiped. I feel exactly like I did when I fell pregnant in October. Don't want to get our hopes up but can't help think that it might have happened. Very nervous...

I had that teenie I assumed it was the start of AF when it happened but then nothing came of it! my afs have always been a bit irratic and could be up to a week late normally so I wasn't bothered but thinking about it it could of been implantation?

keeping every limb crossed for you

I remember you did MrsE and that's what made me think you were pg... I just can't believe I feel like this... It's way sorer than my normal AF pains!

Wasn't so much a baby bomb but basically my SIL and I where due less than a week apart. She had her 20wk scan today. I'm so happy for her but it's so hard watching a real life time line of what should have been me too you know?

Awww chasing . Its weird but something similar was bothering me today - my colleagues daughter is a week behind where I would have been and I started panicking what to do when she brings the baby in!! At only 24 weeks I have no idea why. Even thinking I need to change jobs. Crazy.

Sorry for the BFN cariad and your feelings related to due date.

Fingers crossed teenie .

Oh chasing it must be so hard I know it's easier said than done, but try to focus on positives - remember how long our wait was to start TTC, and now it's over pretty much

MrsE that's horrible! I'm furious on your behalf!

Oooh Teenie that sounds vv promising! I had those cramps with DS, that's why I tested early (I thought they were too strong for pre-AF pains and AF was not showing up). When are you going to POAS? Tomorrow?

Thank you for your kind words. Now focusing on getting rid of thrush Went to pharmacy this afternoon, and mentioned I'm bfing and they said I can only use external cream? I have a small tube left over, so will give it a go. It seems it might work on its own so fingers crossed...

I know chasing... We should have had our 20 week scan today and also would've found out what we were having. One of our friends has the same due date and keeps posting photos of her bump on facebook. It's hard.

Ha ha, Carrot AF isn't due until next Saturday, the 21st, so will poas then... I think I must have ov'd early but need to wait and make sure that cramps continue and AF doesn't show. My OH seems quite sceptical and don't think he quite believes that I have the same cramps. I really hope I prove him wrong!

May I join in? I mc at 8+4 at the end of January. Waiting on period coming so I can start taking clomid again.

Hi tinypawz. Sorry you find yourself here
