Welcome to thread 5 my lovelies! You are a chatty bunch

If you are a lurker (we know you are out there) then it's time to jump in and say hi we don't bite...honest

We've had a bit of a bfp success streak so let's continue that on into thread 5!!

Really sorry to hear that bobo, it's so nice to see you're trying to stay positive though. I'm currently cd14, think I'm probably due to I've any day now, but I'm doing my best not to track anything this time! So far so good, I'm feeling a lot more relaxed about it all which I needed after the last couple of months.

Gutted for you Bobo sending you lots of positive thoughts.

AF arrived yesterday, and even though i expected it I was still so so dissappointed. That cycle was 51 days so I was 19 days off my normal. On to cycle 14 and started to take Angus Castus.

Hard not to obsess as I turn 33 in December and feel time is working against us. Decided to try not obsess out it too much this month...and go with the flow.

Fx for all those in the tww

Ok ladies, I feel sick writing this but here goes- at the same time posting my OPK here I also started another thread asking if it was positive and someone suggested as I was CD46 could I possibly be pregnant as OPKs can pick up that too? I brushed it off but thought I'd poas this morning just in case and two lines appeared. Now I feel so sick and scared that this is going to end the same way as last time. I don't even know whether to tell DH.

Omg high hopes!!! If you are of how far would you be then? Can we have a poas pic?!

I think it's natural for you to feel that way, I am on the July 2017 thread and there are a few ladies that have had mc previously and are very nervous, so it's totally normal. You need to tell dh ASAP though, surely he would be gutted if he knew you felt you couldn't tell him. Your in it together.

So excited for you. I will be 5 weeks tomorrow so still super early, and I am constantly worrying. You never know what is going to happen, but for sanity have to tell yourself everything happens for a reason. Xx

Well DH took that decision away from me when he knocked on the bathroom door so I had to come out with my pee stick! Lol
He's over the moon but obviously it's early days so we don't want to get our hopes up yet. Well going by my last missed period (bleed after taking AC) I'd be 6 weeks but I took a test 2 weeks ago and it was negative so I think I'm more like 3-4 weeks?? Might get one of those tests that tell you today.
bleurgh I feel sick!!

Ah congratulations! If you go doctors and you are unsure of your dates surely you may get an early scan then?

Yay well done high hopes. Fx crossed for you my love xxx

I think the EPU would probably see me because of what happened last time but it will be too early to see anything on a scan right now. I think I'm just going to try and push it to the back of my head for now and see what happens in the next couple of weeks.
so nervous!!

Congrats High Hopes!!! Clearly keep doing whatever you're doing and continue your day to day life as usual, it seems to be working!!
So does that mean you didn't have any symptoms for the past few weeks?

Mouse thinking of you, well done for getting through yesterday, I hope you smash your review today!! xx

Ahhh congratulations HighHopes!!! So pleased for you. I think trying to put it to the back of you mind is the best thing, its out of your hands unfortunately but I'm sure everything will be fine. That's a super strong line for an IC!

Thanks tata & MrsG
No I've had no symptoms at all, just odd cramps yesterday which is why I did an OPK. (thought they might be ovulation pains?)
I thought it was a strong line too so feeling hopeful about that - will do a clear blue digital tomorrow that tells you the weeks just for a rough indicator.
I'm not sure whether to continue my Inositol & Agnus Castus now though? Inositol is apparently good at preventing gestational diabetes in ladies with pcos & agnus castus increases your progesterone which can prevent early miscarriage. So with that in mind I'd want to continue taking them but I also don't want to do any damage! eek.

Congratulations Highhopes 😁 Wonderful news! I can understand why you would feel apprehensive about it all but like you said, try and relax and go with it for the next few weeks until you get your MW referral.
Do you think the AC helped at all? I ordered some last night in the hope it will help to shorten my cycle.
Congrats again 😊 X

Wow congrats HighHopes, how lovely to find out like that - well, to find out anyhow would be great to be fair! :)

So today I am on CD58 with no sign of.....well, anything! Had my blood tests today though at the GPs so hoping that they will shed some light on anything I might need to know re. my crazy bodily functions.

Feeling positive that I have taken action and look forward to receiving the results - whatever they may be.

Happy Friday everyone

I can't be sure if it was the AC that got me my BFP but it definitely brought on what I think was AF (I waited 10 weeks after my m/c and within 5 days of taking AC I started to bleed for a few days). So it must have done something to regulate my cycle, I say it's worth a try.
I wish I knew when I ovulated so I could work out roughly how far along I am.

congratulations highhopes!!! I was going to suggest you take a pg test because of the Opk but wasn't sure where you were in your cycle! 😊
I know how you must feel but I read an article earlier about a study that said if you concieve within 6 months of a mc you are more likely to have a healthy full term pregnancy! So try to focus on that my lovely 😊 You've given me a bit of hope that the 'higher fertility after a mc' myth might be true!!

Do you mind me asking how long you bled for after your mc? I keep thinking mines coming to an end and then it turns red again 😒 And to answer your earlier question physically I'm not too bad, period like cramps but pain killers are taking care of that and te bleeding isn't heavy so I think in that sense I've been lucky. It's just dealing with the grief now.

I'm so happy for you my lovely xxx

I'm so so sorry bobo hope you're taking care of yourself and got some good support irl, it's really shit :(. Unfortunately I bled for 11 days after my mc so probably not what you want to hear but I really hope yours is over quickly and it's great that you're not in pain.

Congrats highhopes that's such great news after you had such a crap time lately and all the palava with not knowing what was going on in there and having to wait for the tests! Such great news it's happened quickly for you.

So nice to hear from you Bobo Can I ask did you have a natural miscarriage? As I was about 7-8 weeks they suggested I have an ERPC so I opted for that and wasn't expecting to bleed much after but I had quite a few clots for the week following the op and spotting for the week after that.
The emotional effects don't go away so quickly however, I literally remember crying at anything and everything for maybe the first month after! But trust me, it gets easier with time..so happy to give you hope from my experience.

Thank you moonlight - how are you getting on? How many weeks are you now?

highhopes I'm ok, thanks for asking :). 8+1 today and have an early scan booked on Monday. Feeling very anxious at the mo, just want it done out the way!

Thanks moonlight 😊 It's good to have a rough idea how long it will last!

HighHopes it was natural, by the time I had the scan I'd already lost everything so they didn't need to do anything - I'm hoping because of that the bleeding doesn't last much longer! I want to get back to trying So I have something to focus on 😊 X

Hello lovelies

Bobo it's nice to hear from you, I hope you have a quiet weekend of cuddles and rest planned xx

Summer I thought about you today! I had my blood test too but found that they only tested for progesterone to confirm I ovulated - which I'm 95% sure I did. When will you get your results? I'm happy for you thinks are moving, I completely relate to feeling better by being proactive!

Hope everyone else is doing ok xx

Hi ladies,

Bobo lovely that's just awful, unfair and so crap. I'm sorry hunny, but I must say I do love your positivity it's really humbling, hope you are finding time to relax this weekend.

Congratulations High that's lovely news so soon after your MC. Did you do a clear blue digi today??

Summer I bet you feel so much better for having your bloods done and getting the ball rolling.

How are you tata?
We had a more in depth report back of OH SA, doc said its just the count that's slightly low but nothing wrong with morphology or motility so I'm trying to stay positive about that. He had to do another one and they talked about ICSI. Anyone had any experience of that?
I'm CD12 today and had an unbelievable amount of EWCM recently which is wierd as I'm not due to OV till CD21. I got some diff vitamins so not sure if that's why maybe.

Hope your scan goes well moonlight - I might be tempted to get one in a few weeks as I don't think I can wait till 12 weeks. How much have you paid if you don't mind me asking? I wondered if the EPU would see me if I had any worries.
I don't blame you BoBo, I just wanted to get back to it straight away.
I've bought a couple of conception indicator tests today so will do one in the morning. Hope it says 1-2 or 2-3 because if it says 3+ I have no idea how to work out how far along I am.

It was £75 highhopes. Tbh I'm not sure I want it as I'm scared it will be bad news but dp does so that's why we are... fx it's good news and then I can relax and I'm just being anxious for nothing. I already had one at the epu when I was 5+2 and there was already a baby with heartbeat so that was really good but just feels like ages away now. That was because I had really bad pain so was an emergency referral for suspected ectopic. When did you have your fertility scan before? That wasn't too long ago was it? You can always ask and see but I think it depends how lucky you are/your area/your Dr to whether they will see you or not if you're not bleeding.

Happy Saturday everyone.

CD44 in the MouseLove house and still no sign of well.. anything lol

I was having some AF cramps last night but literally could be anything nowadays. 

Temps still like a seismic chart. 

Well af reared her ugly head today so onto cycle 3 for me.
