[Fizzie100]

Hi ladies just saying hello and hope everyone is ok. Xx

[Mamama31]

Looking forward to all the poas next wkend for all you ladies!!! Hoping to see lots of lovely sticky bfp's :)

Fizzie how you doing? I hope all is going well x

2ww doing my head in. AF due next Monday when we're away on holiday with family, so tempted to test on Saturday before we leave....

[Mamama31]

GS might not be a bad thing to test before your hols, would only be 2 days before AF so hopefully it will show bfp!

I love that I actually have some POAS to get excited about next week even if it's not my own! Crossing everything for some sticky BFPs...hope the days pass quickly and easily for all ladies in waiting. I think I'm going to wait til Fri to poas again...will have been 3 weeks since MC feels more like 3 months.

Is it just me or are there pregnant people/babies everywhere at the moment?? I've had 3 good friends have babies in the last 3 weeks and another due first week of June and one mid July. I can't resist buying tiny baby clothes for them but it's bittersweet! Should just buy them something boring like a year's supply of Lansinoh and some earplugs

[Mamama31]

Mega I'm the same, living my poas dream through everyone else! I also have a friend due early June and another close friend pregnant and another has a tiny baby. Everywhere I look there are babies and bumps! I also can't resist the baby stuff....just so wish I was buying it for my own little baby.

Ahhh....living our poas dream....file under "things you never thought you'd say in adult life (volume 1)"

8dpo here Red, af due next weekend. Joining in with the symptom spotting even though I told myself I wouldn't this month

[daisyspice]

Babies are actually everywhere!! I agree and everyone else seems pregnant lol

Af due tues (maybe not as it's the wtf cycle) anyone else joining me?

[driftingclouds]

evening all!

Symptom spotting continues here-actually felt pretty rubbish today with backache, cramping, sore boobs and now really tired. Only 8dpo today so thinking it's probably way too early to be actual pregnancy signs and much more likely to be pre-AF (or all in my head). Ugh! I just want to be pregnant . I know I'm not out until AF arrives but I can't believe these cramps are a positive sign.

On a more interesting note-are you off anywhere nice on holiday goneswimming?!

[Mamama31]

Mega I reckon we could fill Volume 1 with a variety of thing we thought we would never say! "Crotch Watch" being another and "monitoring cervical mucus" need I go on?! :/

[goneswimming]

Heading to the south coast of Brittany for a week drifting- it'll be a nice break and will either be after finding out good news or in the two weeks when we can just enjoy each other without thinking about TTC, so nice and relaxing I hope.

[driftingclouds]

gone swimming that sounds lovely and as you say, good timing whatever the outcome Hope you have a great time!

Hi ladies! I'm hoping to be joining this bus soon!

Just had a miscarriage at 11 weeks which was pretty upsetting. Rushed into a and e on Friday after severe blood loss and had a d&c under general. Bloody awful I must say! Think it was the physical stuff that happened that frightened me the most. I had an early scan last week which showed an empty sac and was sent home to wait. Did not expect what happened on Friday though! So I've just moved over from the December 15 thread, sadly.

I feel comfort in reading your posts and also want to add that I felt terrified at the prospect of another one ( not that I'd have wished it away of course) but defo had doubts which I know is so normal. Now dh and I know it's defo what we want in the near future, but we are in no rush. Dd is almost 3 and keeps us super busy!

I think I'll wait until after next af before thinking about it again. I'm just terrified of cycles going haywire like they were when ttc dd. since having her though they've been regular, so am ever hopeful! Has anyone else noticed a difference in cycles since miscarriage?

[megarobotdiscoparty]

Hi honey85 I think I remember you from the December bus - I'm so sorry to see you here . How are you feeling now? I felt similarly about the physical trauma - being sent away to wait and then being in shock for a week or so after as it was so much worse than I expected!

My cycles trying to conceive DS were non existent - just didn't get AFs at all, thanks PCOS! We ended up on Provera/Clomid and conceived via that. However since having DS I have had periods again, and at least one natural ovulation on an OPK so I really believe sometimes pregnancy kick-starts your system. I'm really crossing everything that MC behaves in the same way as we are 1 cycle down on our last 3 cycles of Clomid and I'm NOT ready to lie down and give up just yet. Come on body!

Hope everybody else is ok today. Miserable here, and my car broke down right in the middle of a busy commuter route in the pouring rain! You wouldn't believe how long it took for someone to stop and help me push my car to the side of the road (I could have kissed him!). Classic Monday!

[Honey85]

Hi mega thank you. I remember you too, I'm so sorry you've gone through it too. Sucks! It's such a shocker isn't it. Scariest thing I've ever seen tbh. Still, the hospital were amazing and really looked after me.

That's comforting to hear about cycles etc after having your ds. I think you are onto something there, it almost wakes your body up and says 'more more more' . I think that, coupled with being about 7lbs heavier has helped my cycles, fingers crossed.

Sending positive thoughts to all x

[Mamama31]

Welcome Honey, I'm sorry you have had to join us but hope you find some comfort here. It has been such a support for us all.

[Mamama31]

I'm feeling a bit bloated and crampy, hoping that AF might be making a surprise visit then I don't have to worry about getting a bfn! Can't believe I'm willing the witch to arrive, but I would love to begin a fresh cycle now. I have been a bit cranky over the last few days so fingers crossed something is finally happening and AF is on her way!

[redredwine4]

Welcome honey

Hope your af is on the way mama.

I have got what I think are pre-af twinges. Pretty gutted. Wish my cycles would just get back to normal. After a promising wtf cycle I have had two annovulatory cycles lasting 21 then 20 days. Now on CD28 but my cycle length pre-pg was 31 days. I was hoping I'd be back to normal now. Maybe getting to CD28 means I'm at least going in the right direction. Pretty gutted though

[Mamama31]

Red I'm sorry your cycles are being so unpredictable! It's so annoying not knowing what's going on.

I seem to have a tiny bit of spotting....come on AF...make your appearance!!!!!

[driftingclouds]

Welcome honey, I'm very sorry for your loss-that sounds like a terrifying experience to go through. It sounds sensible to give yourself a bit of time to process it all and let yourself grieve. My cycles definitely changed after pregnancy-I used to be very irregular expect when I was on the pill! After my two kids I became more regular although quite long cycles. Then since the miscarriage I seem to be either 27-28 days in a cycle but still seem to ovulate late. I hope yours settle back down quickly and you get your bfp quickly.

mamma I felt similar about the first AF-well I wanted to get pregnant asap, but if that wasn't going to happen, I felt pleased that things seemed to get going with my cycles pretty quickly. I hope AF turns up soon for you.

mega that sounds like a stressful morning! I can't believe someone didn't stop. Although I had a similar bike related incident when no-one helped and I clearly looked like I did not have a clue what I was doing! Hope you got home/to work in one piece.

Not much to report here. Cramps have settled, backache and sore boobs continued. Not obsessed so much about it today as been busy with the kids. Looking forward to have an answer either way hopefully by the end of the week!

[Mamama31]

Mega what a nightmare of a morning you had, hope your day got better!

Drifting good luck for poas end of the week, I'm sure it can't come quick enough.

I'm just hoping that I won't have a lot of days spotting before af finally appears! I hate when that happens!

[Romeolovesjuliet]

Welcome honey, so sorry for everything you have been through. I also ended up in A&E after my mmc in jan although that was medical mgt gone wrong. Utterly terrifying. It took a long time for things to settle down for me but hopefully having the erpc will lead to a quicker recovery for you.
mama really hope AF hurries up and gets started so you can get going again.
I BF both my babies for a year but when I got my periods back they were a very regular 27/28 days and would always start first thing in the morning. Before children they were generally regular with he odd long cycle thrown in. The 2 cycles I have had since mmc have been 30 days and 28 days with my wtf 33 days do hoping mc hasn't messed things up too much.
Feeling very meh here and just want it to be the end of the week so I know for sure either way and can get on with the next cycle. For some reason I have a feeling cycle 4 might be the one for me

[redredwine4]

It's just so hard not knowing what's going on with your body, isn't it? And af coming is just such a reminder of the mc and all of the emotions that went with it.

I was at a family celebration on Sunday and wasn't drinking as in tww. My aunt and cousin kept going on and on, in front of friends who I don't even know, about me not drinking and how the next celebration will be a christening. It's so upsetting and thankfully no-one else I know does that. I wonder if I should tell them about the mc for future, but then I think they don't deserve to know something so personal when they carry on like that.

Thinking of all of you strong ladies this evening.

[megarobotdiscoparty]

redredwine I'm so sorry that happened - I don't know how you kept it together! How awful. I get so angry when people make presumptuous remarks, I find even people asking if we'll have another upsetting, but comments about a christening take the biscuit! Does anyone else in your family know who could have a quiet word? I know what you mean about them not deserving to know though. I don't know how people are so insensitive.

Mama congrats on your spotting - how is it now, are we at full flow yet? Hope you're feeling ok, I've heard lots of ladies on here say the first AF can be a bit emotional, which I can imagine. At the moment I'm like you though - I just want it here! Hope it doesn't tease you for too long.

Good luck to drifting romeo and everyone else on the 2ww... hope the week is going quickly for you all.

Think I'm going to crack and poas again tonight... can see I'm going to end up spending a fortune in tests. Anyone know any good places to get them cheap?
