Morning All
I'm on cloud 9 today! We had a static smiley on the cb ovulation test 
. Thank goodness we are ovulating this month! I chased dp to the loo like a crazed lunatic waving my smiley face at him. He laughed, but in a nice way! Can't wait to get home tonight and dtd! Twice if we can! So excited! 1st time this wave of darkness and disappointment has left since the mc.
frankie thanks for your reply! I'm not sure what either of the things it check are but at the min I just don't care 
clara thanks for the 
, I think I'll have some and 
this evening!
Ooh, just saw a new emoji on here! Must use it in a sentence. Has anyone seen the new John Lewis [santa] advert yet?
claire best of luck for Monday!!
rhodes best of luck for next Friday!
I know it's easy to say when it's not you but I'll be clinging on to every bit of hope and positive statistic if we ever get another bfp - "less than 5% or women will have 2 consecutive miscarriages, and only 1% have 3 or more consecutive miscarriages"
april to answer your question on caffeine and booze - well my take on it anyway - caffeine - don't drink tea or coffee, but before the bfp was a total diet coke addict, 6-12 cans every day. On the day of bfp stopped drinking it and found it easy as I knew I was doing it for the baby. Same with booze.
Of course that pregnancy didn't last very long but it was long enough for me to kick my diet coke habit. I decided not to drink it again as I knew it wouldn't do me any good and would need to stop eventually! I feel like someone from AA - I have been clean from diet coke for 10 weeks now and I honestly don't miss it.
Booze on the other hand - now that is a different story! I just love it! This year I haven't drank in the week much, which was a big cut down from drinking every day in 2014. I've done the whole cold turkey thing on certain months thinking it may help. All it does to me is turn me into a hermit, not wanting to go out as I'm sick of the questions, prying looks and awkward excuses for not drinking which then makes me even more depressed. I have now made the decision that until I get that bfp (testing each month at where I should in theory be 10dpo with a frer) I will continue life as normal as my mental wellbeing is under enough strain with this infertility crap (month 27 now) without torturing myself even more. Until the placenta is formed the egg survives on its own reserves and so takes nothing in from you like booze.
You've done really well on the coffee thing, they say 1 a day is fine. I wouldn't feel guilty drinking until you get your bfp. I think i would have had a total breakdown by now if I'd stopped drinking 27 months ago! I have 1 infuriating friend who keeps telling me to get pregnant you need to "stop drinking and shag like rabbits" wow, thanks for that, I've done that for enough months to know that it doesn't work along with most other "useful" advice. She should bloody know better too after 4 consecutive mc's. Although she got pregnant easily and quickly.
brenna post a pic of your OPK line. Yes I'd start ttc when spottong! Especially if you have a line appearing! You don't want to miss your window! Argh to your mum! What does that mean a "real loss"? And you are going through that apparent "real loss" too as well as this "unreal loss??". I haven't told my mum as I couldn't deal with her "helpful" words of wisdom from someone who was easily pregnant twice exactly when she decided she wanted to be.
sakura did you test again today with fmu? If not maybe wait and test tomorrow with fmu? Good luck!
