New thread!
This thread pretty much does what it says on the tin...
Shall we start with some stats?
I'm 32, TTC since last Jan, 2x MMC last year and on second cycle of trying again.

Welcome newbies. Sorry for your losses Flowers

AF finished here, DTD yday. Will make better effort on EOD this month. Not feeling down but just not too optimistic at the moment. Maybe I just need an early night...

MrsD how are you feeling? How long do you have to take progesterone for?

Am I the only one who feels a bit disappointed upset that none of our grads ever pops back in to say hi? I don't know, I personally wonder how they are doing...

MarysPrayer · 18/04/2015 22:13

Carrott I would love to hear how they're getting on . We all need some hope and encouragement!

Welcome alpha . Gosh, you have really been through a lot. Thanks

madgiebean · 18/04/2015 22:24

Sorry I haven't really popped back I've been to scared to give a heads up in case I jinx anything, I'm feeling unbelievably anxious at the minute.

So far so good though (touch wood).

I received my letter for my first midwife appointment which is on the 12th may so im excited for it all to seem now real.
Had a few problems with my OH.. Over the past few weeks things haven't been quite the same I hope it's just a matter of raised hormones but I don't know. I feel like I can never just be happy, with every bit of happiness comes some sort of problem in another area but I hope it all blows over. Doesn't help with his exhausted I feel but it'll all be worth it in the end!

Hope everyone is doing well! Sorry to everyone who has joined also big hugs Flowers good luck to you all!

littlebbunny · 19/04/2015 02:13

It's always sad to see the new ladies here but I hope we can all get our sticky bfp very soon.

Not much going on my end. 7DPO. Not really taking note too much to symptoms, in fact getting none except for the strange dreams which could be cheese related. Wake up often thinking wtf was that dream all about! Lol.

redredwine4 · 19/04/2015 08:04

Welcome to all new people. Hugs to magdie.

I'm in boresville just now. Reckon my random spotting two weeks ago must have been an early af. If so I'm right in the middle of the fertile window but yet again no positive opk. Think I rejoiced too soon when my first af after mc came after four weeks. It's now been 9 weeks since mc and don't think I'm ovulating yet. I find it quite a challenge to dtd all time when it could all be for nothing.

On a positive note, the sun is shining

MissMrsMummy · 19/04/2015 14:45

Sorry you're feeling a bit lost redred I hope you get a positive opk soon x

redredwine4 · 19/04/2015 18:29

Thanks Mrs x

brickiemum2 · 19/04/2015 21:40

Hugs red have you dated to step near an hpt yet?
I've not been on much as I'm feeling very meh about the whole subject. CD 11 and I haven't even bought any opk.... Hmm

What's all that about? Why an I not bothering?

MissMrsMummy · 20/04/2015 07:01

brickie maybe you are scared to try again in case something goes wrong. Totally understandable. Flowers

AF due in the next couple of days for me. I will poas Weds if she's not here by then. Very nervous about how I will cope with my first AF post-mc.

Adventuregame · 20/04/2015 07:31

MissMrs I'm nervous about my first one too. I usually have very light ones and don't suffer any period pains but I've heard first one after mmc can be quite heavy and painful ? I don't know when to expect it either. Not sure if I'll go back to my 45 day cycle or if the short time being pregnant might have give my system a reboot ??
You say AF is due for you in a couple of day - what did you count as day 1 of your cycle ?

littlebbunny · 20/04/2015 08:05

missmr & adventure I'm also nervous about first AF after mc. Going to poas on the 29th. Started having lots of symptoms but think it's all af related.

Adventuregame · 20/04/2015 08:18

DP has been out the country since I stopped bleeding after ERPC so haven't dtd yet but think we will be 'careful' until after first AF as I'd be in too much of a panic otherwise. I feel like there's a ticking clock hanging over my head !! LOL !!

redredwine4 · 20/04/2015 09:54

Thinking of all of you ladies waiting for the 1st af (hopefully you will get bfps instead!)

brickie bfn last Tuesday and again on Saturday morning- that's why I think my spotting was an early af. Hopefully you'll get ov symptoms in next couple of days.

Romeolovesjuliet · 20/04/2015 10:01

Ladies waiting for first AF - mine was pretty heavy but not painful. brickie, hope you're ok. I've also not been on much as feeling pretty meh too and trying to keep as sane as possible. It's sooo hard so Flowers to everyone.

kep1979 · 20/04/2015 11:27

Hi ladies, welcome alpha sorry you are here Flowers

I'm doing OK, bit like the rest of you, up and down and feeling sad for no apparent reason. This week has got me down a little, as I would have been 12 weeks and was looking forward to telling people.

I'm on day 10 now, doing opks, which are a little confusing as they alternate between nearly positive and then clearly negative (all with fmu). Pretty sure I haven't ovulated yet as my cm and cp are still not there. Going to make concerted effort with EOD this cycle - been crap so far! Am still popping pills and eating loads of veggies so hoping this cycle will be lucky!

redredwine4 · 20/04/2015 12:48

It seems like everybody is having a bit ofa tough time at the moment. It's so up and down isn't it? kep I found 12 weeks difficult. It's a real reminder of what you should have had.

Today for the first time I had no line on an opk. I''ve had lines every other day since mc but just not as dark as the control line. So at least something seems to be happening. Last Wednesday I had a little bit of cm and dtd. Maybe there is a chance this month after all- it would be my first chance since mc.... Trying not to get carried away....

redredwine4 · 20/04/2015 12:54

I also meant to say that my first af after mc was absolutely fine-just like normal, so light, then heavy for two days, then light for two days. Usual mild cramps- nothing out of the ordinary x

Nousername2015 · 20/04/2015 15:28

Thanks for the warm welcome, and best of luck. I'm just finishing my first AF since the mc (sorry if tmi) It was very heavy for a day but has largely been quite normal really except for cramping which I never really used to get.

MissMrsMummy · 20/04/2015 16:08

adventure I had an early m/c (technically a 'chemical pregnancy') so it was just like AF was a week late. So I counted the first day of bleeding as Cd1. I'm not sure what you count as CD1 if you were further along, sorry x

kep my opks were confusing this cycle too. I'm temping as well but still not 100% sure what day I ov'd!

Glad something's happening for you, red!

I am 9dpo today and have AF cramps. Keep expecting to see spotting but I have none yet. Obviously I'm hopeful it's a bean implanting! Temps still up. Will see what tomorrow brings.

At least if/when AF comes I can have more tests and see what's going in. Oh and I can get drunk! Hehe.

redredwine4 · 20/04/2015 16:32

Oh fingers crossed missmrs! When are you planning to test? Unless af comes I'm going to try to wait until next Friday (1St May).

MarysPrayer · 20/04/2015 16:52

9dpo here (I think) too MissMrs Bought some superdrug tests today - will try and hold off until Friday though as AF not due until the weekend. I want this so much. We've had two pregnancy announcements in our small dept this week- their due dates aren't far off where mine would have been.

MissMrsMummy · 20/04/2015 17:36

red well, I am 9dpo now and I usually have spotting at 9 or 10dpo. So I'm expecting that later or tomorrow. If I haven't had spotting tomorrow I will test on Weds (11dpo) as that's when my bfp showed last month on a frer. But these cramps are quite strong, like when I had the m/c so I'm expecting AF to arrive and to be quite bad Sad. DH and I have planned some nice things for weekend to cheer us up!

That's hard marys there seem to be bumps everywhere at the moment! Fx it'll be you soon Smile

brickiemum2 · 20/04/2015 17:54

Well it's been a jolt old day Hmm
Firstly got baby bombed at the school gates this morning and she's due when I should've been (she's quite far on but really just showing now) Secondly I had my appointment with the recurrent mc specialist today...that was a barrel of laughs, not. I've had blood taken to see if I have this sticky blood problem....but worst of all she's suggested I don't get pregnant until I've had that checked twice and got the results back. Which will be around 12 weeks from now Sad So I guess I'll see you all in about 12 weeks Sad

MarysPrayer · 20/04/2015 18:03

I'm so sorry Brickiemum Thanks

MissMrsMummy · 20/04/2015 18:24

Oh, brickie I'm so sorry. I don't know what to say Flowers you could stick around in the meantime and keep us company x
