Thanks mama its so horrible but its good you are trying to stay positive. expect your cycle to be up the spout for a bit though. it took 2weeks post mc for my temps to stabilise and my "proper" cycle to start so I had a 7week cycle. mildly convinced I may have had a cp in that cycle too. this cycle I'm on cd15, normally ov cd18-20 with lots of ewcm before and so far not a drop so expecting this cycle to be a bit wacky too.

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 14:12

Hi lil :)

I won't be temping (never did) or charting anything. I am moving forward with no expectations. We are focusing on getting ourselves back to how we were emotionally and of course with dtd as it's been a long time!!!!!!! (haven't dtd since we concieve because of the spotting/mc fear) 8 weeks!!! So once the bleeding has stopped I just want to enjoy some quality time with my husband again ;) we are a very affectionate couple anyway but the stress and spotting over the last 2 months has really taken its toll on us. But we are closer than ever and DH has been such an amazing support to me. I'm so lucky to have him.

What's happening with you lil? When's your next ivf cycle? X

lildottie · 23/04/2015 14:16

it makes all the distance to have that support. I was very attractive and cried first time we DTD after mc. luckily dh kinda expected it and was great.
next cycle whenever I want! getting a couple of blood tests next week and thinking we'll probably go for August as we are moving house in May so should be settled by August. just want to get on with it though!

lucieloos · 23/04/2015 14:27

Hi mama so sorry for everything you have been through. Im glad that you and your dh have been really close through it all and there for each other. Like you say just enjoy each other's company with no expectations for now. It will happen for you againThanks

We are in the process of ivf at the moment. I think last time I spoke to you on here I was planning to go out to prague well I am here now and the clinic and everything has been fantastic! I would definitely come here again if we need to. We are due for transfer tomorrow which will be day 5 so really keeping our fingers crossed that one or two good ones make it x

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 14:43

Ah Lucie that's amazing!!!! So exciting for you! And yes I remember discussing Prague clinics with you as it is something we would def consider if we need it and our NHS go doesn't work or it doesn't happen naturally again. I'll be keen to see how yours goes keep in touch, I'm sure your nervous but also excited! Best of luck, lots of prayers sent your way x

lucieloos · 23/04/2015 14:45

Thank you mamma it has definitely been an amazing experience so far. Will keep you posted. Big hugs to you x

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 14:53

And you lovely x

victoria401 · 23/04/2015 15:38

So sorry you've gone through this crap mama, life is unfair. Fingers crossed you will have a healthy pregnancy very soon x x

Lucie good luck with the transfer and I hope the 2ww passes quickly for you.

I want time to speed up until I can find out little one is safe. Its such early days, 5+3. I'm refusing to feel happy or excited because I'm aware of the odds. This is not how I wanted it to feel :-(

Glad you lot have supportive dh's x

Vic the worry just never ends does it?! I never felt I could enjoy finally being pg as I was so worried and spotting started at 5 weeks. But if your feeling good and no spotting then try to relax and I'm sure things will be ok. Easier said than done though but it's good you have a hol coming up that will help you to relax and take your mind off things x

lildottie · 23/04/2015 16:48

Vic I'm on another thread where the mantra is "today I am pregnant". keep saying that to yourself. you have no control over what happens and the best you can do for your bean is stay calm, be healthy and be positive. we're all rooting for you xx

victoria401 · 23/04/2015 16:51

I'm getting queasyness already, I'm hoping that's a good sign too! My tests are nice and strong. Didn't even have implantation spotting. I worry though if I feel 'wet' I'm straight to the loo for a look!

Crotch watch never ends....no matter what stage we are at...constant knicker checking is a recurring theme....

EllaBella1 · 23/04/2015 17:58

Hi ladies, cd1 today. After 6 days of brown discharge I'm glad! Dr doesn't think brown spotting at 9-14dpo is a problem as long as AF doesn't arrive. Anyway once we have hubs SA it's back to find out exactly yhe figures of my bloods and then ask for the referral. A year and a half down this ttc road and I feel pretty defeated today. Sorry I need to snap out of it!

Mama sorry to hear about what's happened.

mrschatty · 23/04/2015 18:39

Ella bella were pretty much on the same page- just sent off our referral and now on m 19ttc cd 18 of 29 now and promising myself this 2ww will nit be a symptom spotting one!!!
Mama welcome back love xxxxFlowers

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 18:59

Thanks Ella and mrschatty! It's comforting to be with you all despite the circumstances!

Lauraqc · 23/04/2015 21:15

Evening all - Mama and Lil you're both fabulous. Inspirational.

Lucie I'm still watching with interest as I think we've decided to do the CR thing - probably late summer after our holibobs! Gives me a bit of time to shift some lbs too ;)!

Vic I can imagine just swapping one set of worries for another but like Lil has said you have no control over what will be...

lucieloos · 23/04/2015 21:19

Laura definitely do it. You won't regret it. They are so professional and you could eat your dinner off the floor at the clinic it's so clean lol. I'm so happy we decided to come here. There's a big group of us on fb as well so I've made friends and met up with other people out here at the same time. I'm loving it! Kind of takes a lot of the stress out of it.

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 22:22

Lucie that sounds amazing! To have support of others going through it at the same time! How fab is that! Sounds like your so chilled about it all, that's great. So hoping for a great result for you!

Mamama31 · 23/04/2015 22:24

Thanks laura. I feel like I've turned a corner at least. Had a good day today but a bit emotional tonight. Can only be expected really. Time is the only healer.

lildottie · 24/04/2015 08:43

it doesn't go away mama but it does get easier. time is indeed a healer Thanks

Mamama31 · 24/04/2015 09:31

Thanks lil xxx

victoria401 · 25/04/2015 20:16

Ella I had spotting the majority of months we were ttc, up to 5 days pre af. The GP and nurse told me it wasn't an issue, I didn't believe them. It turns out it wasn't a problem after all :-) chin up

EllaBella1 · 26/04/2015 22:38

Thanks for that. Always good to hear!

Hubs SA is 14th may. He is then to make a gp appt for 2 weeks later to discuss results.

mrschatty · 27/04/2015 11:46

Hay ladies welcome to a new week how are we all feeling! Cd22 at tge min been very hormonal all weekend starting on Friday at a family party- close friend made the very helpful suggestion that maybe were 'trying too much...?' Needless to say she got pg within first months of ttc.. We left shortly after! Then last night another friend who doesn't know we're ttc told us his brother and his wife unexplained infertility for years now adopting. Made me tear up thinking that one day there may be a line drawn.

I also solemly swear I am not symptom spotting this month 7 days to go x

chopsface · 27/04/2015 14:23

Meh, some people huh? Told my senior last week, who knew about our fertility issues, that I was pregnant. She said "see I told you if you relaxed it would happen" hmmmm right, whatever. I'm sure being about to start fertility treatment really chilled me out! I hope you get your bfp soon x it can happen when you least expect it!
