I hope I did ok with the title (thanks for the inspiration Emwithme). I felt a bit lost without a thread to post on so I thought I'd have a bash at it.

Hi everyone, I think I'm back, well I'm trying to be a bit more positive anyway. Just started opks this morning after a lot of uhmmming and ahhing about whether to this month. It made for a lot of pressure last month, equally I know I'd kick myself when af arrives if I hadn't so here I go again. This time with the fancy clear blue ones. Who knows if it'll make any difference.

I'm not sure what to make of ttc and not getting pregnant - new territory for me. I don't like it one bit am totally petrified that I'm broken now and won't be able to conceive again. I keep trying to remind myself it's still early days, do not panic.

I'm really sorry to hear of all the new people in the thread. It's a lovely group, but a shitty place to be.

So sorry daisy. This is a lovely thread with lots of ladies in a similar boat. Made me feel better knowing I wasn't on my own

emvy · 08/06/2017 21:50

Daisy, I'm so so sorry to hear about the loss of your baby girl. As others have said, please stick around, follow quietly if it's what you need. I hope you can find some comfort here during an incredibly dark time.

Nocats, I didn't test today, but thank you. Tomorrow afternoon is my next scheduled testing time! Ridiculous... I have lots of symptoms still so keeping everything crossed they're a good sign.

Double, hope you have a successful month and manage to steer clear of becoming the ever-present HT (😂) that we all slide towards each month!

NoCatsHere · 09/06/2017 15:47

daisy will echo what others have said, please do stay here if you find comfort in it. These ladies are very supportive. I have a very good friend that lost a baby girl at birth and now has a boy. It took her a long time to heal, we are all here for you if you want to talk.

emvy good luck today then.

I'm half way through the 2ww I think, and feel nothing. Let's see if I have any hopeful symptoms next week.

Smurf123 · 09/06/2017 16:08

Good luck today emvy

Smurf123 · 09/06/2017 16:09

daisy you are very welcome I'm sorry for your loss Flowers

emvy · 09/06/2017 18:36

So pleased to be able to post a non-squinter finally! Feeling very pleased, and.. detached? I think I've been mentally detaching myself over the past week. I'm not sure whether that will actually change. Praying I can take this pregnancy further - not really thinking of anything other than that at the moment.

You guys are amazing. I won't be going anywhere just yet. I'm far too attached to you lot! Thank you so much for your incredible support 💕

TeaAndPjs · 09/06/2017 19:35

Hello ladies, just place marking as I have 3 days worth to catch up.on :)

Lime19 · 09/06/2017 20:06

YES emvy!!!!! That's a good line!

Waterfeature · 09/06/2017 20:18

That's fab news emvy! Congrats!

Smurf123 · 09/06/2017 20:39

That's fantastic emvy so pleased for you

swimchick1980 · 09/06/2017 21:10

So sorry Daisy Flowers.

emvy, so pleased for you, great news.

AF had arrived early for me this month (CD22) Sad. At least i didn't have too much time to get my hopes up only for them to be dashed again!!

BertieBotts · 09/06/2017 21:11

Hooray emvy! Will you be doing one of those week estimator ones? :)

AnneLovesGilbert · 09/06/2017 21:21

Back from hols and so much has happened! I'll have a proper catch up on everything but envy caught my eye, what lovely lovely news, so happy for you Smile

Had a blissful week in the sun, amazing doing nothing, so good for the soul. AF was incredibly short again but nowhere near as heavy as the last couple and was all done by the time we got there. Phew! Much DTDing, was excellent, then had full on ewcm and cervix ov feelings so ramped it up a notch and ewcm now gone on for 3 days. Bit weird. Cervix felt more open yesterday, CD10, like last cycle. No stabbing pain but convinced by other symptoms ov is done already.

Going to read back through, hope everyone's okay! Lots of love.

DancingUnicorn · 09/06/2017 21:53

Emvy! Yes!!! So, so happy for you. Detached I think must be normal.

Swim so sorry about af.

Anne welcome home!! Glad you had a wonderful time. Sounds like ov has happened. Keeping everything crossed for you this cycle!

Lime19 · 10/06/2017 07:58

Anne, holiday sounds lush! I think that's what I need.

I just broke out a spare digital test.... first wee of day and only 1-2 weeks showing! Could not be happier! It's falling fast now. Possibly by next week I may see "not pregnant" then the wait for af begins! Honestly this has pleased me so much.

Arggghhh! Grin

Juancornetto · 10/06/2017 08:14

daisy I'm so sorry, I can't imagine the hurt you've been through. I hope things get less painful with time and you get your rainbow baby Flowers

Juancornetto · 10/06/2017 08:17

Yays for emvy getting a stronger test and lime getting a weaker one!
I had a peak day yesterday and dtd so am now a hopeful twat Grin I should have learnt my lesson after 22 fruitless tww's and only 2 with bfp 's at the end but every cycle I convince myself that this is the one! Roll on the 25th...

Ekphrasis · 10/06/2017 08:25

Congratulations emvy! Fab news!

I'm 5 dpo and getting twitchy!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 10/06/2017 08:39

3dpo. A week till I can test. What is life aaaargh. Keep wondering if I ovulated earlier that I think to try and justify testing. Pretty sure I know when it happened though.

Will be so gutted if it doesn't work this cycle, I've been holding onto hope that I'll fall again straight away to help me cope with the shock and disappointment of the MC.

emvy · 10/06/2017 09:12

Thank you everyone. I'm not sure if I'm going to do a week's tester Bertie. I bought a 2 pack the other day but I'm hesitant simply because if it doesn't say what I expect it to say, it'll just worry me, potentially unnecessarily. I used to think that knowledge but was power... now I feel the opposite. It was 5 weeks yesterday since my last af and I just don't see a cb telling me I'm 2-3 weeks. I don't know... for now I'm going to sit tight I think but that doesn't mean I won't cave in a couple of days!

I have everything crossed for those of you in the tww! I hope you all have fun, busy weekends planned to keep your mind off things.

Glad you're levels are now clearly dropping lime and you're able to enjoy your weekend knowing you're making big steps forward.

Anne, it sounds like you had a wonderful holiday and everything worked out timings wise - here's to fate doing its thing!

Swim, so sorry af got you Sad chocolate, cake, wine!

emvy · 10/06/2017 09:18

Sorry Grumpy I missed your post for some reason. I found that first one after ttc again so, so difficult. My af came in the toilets at work and I just in there sobbing. I had to pull myself together to go back to a class full of 31 children and stand in front of them pretending to be cheerful. It feels like a massive kick in the you-know-what! Another horrid trick pulled by Mother Nature. I really, really hope you're successful this month but if you're not, know that feeling how you feel is completely justified. Thankfully, after a couple of days I found I felt better and ready to get back on the horse for the next cycle. I hope that you too will be able move to positivity quickly. However, above all of that, I pray that you don't have to go through that at all and that this your month. I have everything crossed for you.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 10/06/2017 09:37

Thank you @emvy Smile and congratulations again xx

Doublechocolatetiffin · 10/06/2017 16:49

emvy congratulations! That's great news.

Doublechocolatetiffin · 10/06/2017 16:50

grumpy it's really hard isn't it. I was so certain I'd fall pregnant straight away post miscarriage as I'd always fallen first time on both previous pregnancies. Cycle 3 now and feeling really fed up about it.
