Needing some 2WW buddies.

Hello. Im currently 3-4 DPO (days post ovulation) with AF/BFP (Aunt Flo/Big Fat Positive) due 22-25th Feb! Did plenty baby dancing so fingers crossed and have promised myself not to symptom spot or go Google crazy this time. Ive also swore not to test until 18th Feb ... Do i have anyone in similar place so we can support each other and talk (while avoiding google lol) xx

Well this months stats... CD: 8. BFP due : 22/23rd March (seems so long away!) Not feeling that itll happen as i have been so ill lately but sure ill enjoy trying anyway!

Grumpy... How did you get on?

BFN this morning I'm not out yet tho as no AF. Still have backache and lots of milky CM. wtf!!

CD31 tomorrow

Apologies for the silence - it's all been rather busy!

Having a MUCH better start to the week this week! Dust has settled & im feeling much more positive! Still enjoying the cake & wine leftovers from my birthday!

I'm back to charting my BBT each morning & all the other crazy things we do (never dreamed I'd be checking out my cervical position & comparing it to pressing my nose?!??) and I'm back to using OPK purely because I have such an inconsistent cycle & it's helpful to understand a little bit more about when I'm ovulating.

So I'm currently CD7, ovulation expected week beginning the 12th & hoping to see a BFP around the 29th!

Hope you're all having good weeks x

Ive never checked my cervix. Im too scared 😂 do you find it useful AJ? Grumpy how you doing today? Xx

Still no AF. BFN this morning. I'm going crazy!

Aww grumpy!! 😑 remind me, what cycle are you on?

Hello everyone,

Hope you're all good.

I have sad news. On Wednesday I started to bleed and it got heavier. Went to the EPU who confirmed that I was miscarrying. We were worried about another ectopic but it doesn't seem to be that thank goodness. I'm obviously totally gutted, especially because the consultant I saw looked through all of my history because of my stillbirth and gave me a totally different reason for my son's death and was quite clear and firm about what he thought was the reason. I had been told at my post-mortem meeting that there was no cause. So I'm struggling right now.

The reason for posting was to ask about bleeding for those who have had a miscarriage (and I'm very sorry for those who have, and obviously please don't worry about answering if it's upsetting for you to go over). With my ectopic I was rushed in for emergency surgery so it was all a bit different. I'm just wondering how long you all bled for, so I know what I may be able to expect (appreciating that it differs for everyone).

Wishing good luck to everyone who is trying again this month and an uneventful and smooth time for those who are there already xxx

Tea, i dont know what to say. Sending you massive hugs!!

Thank you nature ❤x

Oh tea I'm so sorry. How unfair.

Ohh Tea I'm so sorry for your loss, such sad news. Please take care of yourself. I'm sorry I can't advice about bleeding etc but hopefully somebody will be able to xx

Tea I let things happen naturally after my MMC, it was a few years ago so can't remember all the details though. I had one bad afternoon of heavy cramps (like mini contractions) then I think about a week of light bleeding after. Although it happened at 10 weeks I was measuring six weeks so I guess not too different to you. Hope the physical and emotional pain eases for you soon. X

pingu and pass thank you so much x

pingu, thanks, that's really helpful. Just gives me a bit of an idea what may happen over the next couple of weeks x

Oh teaandbics :( I'm so sorry, it is so unfair.. (big hug).. I too had a MMC similar to Pingu I MMC at 12 weeks measuring at 10 weeks. It was difficult.. but I think the severity and intensity of it varies depending on how far along the pregnancy you are. Although my pregnancy came to an end I was surprised by how resilient my body was through it all. Try to rest up and look after yourself xxxx

Oh Tea, I'm so sorry to hear that. Sending you lots of love xxxx

Hi apple, thank you ❤ I'm hoping that the worst of it is over now. We'll see.

Thanks AJ x Wishing you lots of luck for 29th x

How are doing tea

Morning nature. Thanks for thinking of me

I'm ok thanks. It's not an ectopic, which is a relief - my blood results kept rising for a while so they weren't sure what was going on. I'm just wiped out now but am hoping the worst of it, physically at least, is over now. Have to work out what I'm going to do about my son's post mortem results. I need to see the original consultant but I'm not up to it yet, although I'm so angry that maybe now is a good time to do it! Anyway, that's all for another day when I'm feeling a bit better.

How are you? When is ovulation time for you this month?

Hope everyone else is good.

Xx

tea i hope everything goes as smooth as possible for you. Im about 1dpo, roughly. Doubt we caught it. DP and I had a row and huffed at each other for days. We DTD the day before so theres a glimmer of hope i guess. DP and i have decided to look at getting away for a long weekend in May/June so hopefully get a holiday bump! Im thinking of taking a break from ttc as im driven crazy atm.

Thank you nature.

The day before is good, so stay positive! A holiday sounds like a lovely plan. It's surprising how often you hear of people going away and getting their bfp. Ttc can be so stressful can't it? I'll keep everything crossed for you x

Well I'm a bit miffed today! I woke up & literally overnight Ovia (fertility app) had changed my fertile week from starting on the 12th to FINISHING YESTERDAY!!!!!!! 😡 wtf?!?!? I'm hoping it's a glitch because we are saving our energy for DTD on ovulation week & by this calculation we've missed it! I even entered OPK as negative & yet for some reason it thinks I've ovulated! I don't understand! Has anyone else had issues with Ovia?!

Thats weird AJ!? Ive never used that app but heard only good things about it!

Hi AJ and nature. Hope you're both good.

*AJ, I had weird stuff with Ovia too, where it has been totally out for my fertile week and then put it back by over a week when I input my positive opk (so that I would have missed the positive date on their calculations). All very annoying but much more so to unilaterally change it! Generally it was pretty good, but I ended up relying on the clearblue dual opks as they flash so you know your fertile period is starting. They do sometimes flash forever though...
