TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 15 - Christmas miracles

[TheGrumpySquirrel]

New thread!

Congratulations @coastalchick!! What wonderful news. Fingers crossed it's a sticky one!

Congrats @coastalchick!

Hi ladies! Anyone who would like to join the FB group needs to PM me with the email address you use for FB and I'll add you.

@coastalchick congrats again! Yay! Xx

@DaisyMay25 that thread is awful! I once got abuse from a woman on here because I said that people should focus on baby being healthy, not gender, and that I'd be grateful to be pregnant at all (I wasn't at the time). She was a right cow! I can't stand people like that when there are so many women out there struggling with infertility, loss etc.

What I'm also coming across are women oozing with confidence about pregnancy, which is fine, but to the extent that it's irritating. They have absolutely no idea what it's like to be so terrified every day of something going wrong!

@flat white
I must of missed something which thread is awful

Congrats costal! Great news!

Thanks ladies! Of course I will worry every moment now after last time but am very grateful it's happened. Just have to hope it sticks now

marty there’s one about TTC a girl. I envy others their blissful ignorance.

Congrats coastal that's brilliant news! It's so nice to be happy for people being pregnant again for some reason I just feed sad about all my friends. @Kkk87 oh god I haven't got to the baby showers yet. Dreading that. Anyone else testing tomorrow?

@pioe I'm testing tomorrow, it might still be too early!

I'm lucky we was away when baby showers happened, DH went to see our friends 3 day old yesterday, I couldn't bring myself to go

Good luck @DaisyMay25 we're thinking of going on holiday around due date but I reckon the baby showers will be before that so don't think I'll be able to get away with not going. Found out yesterday that one of them actually shares my due date. :(

congratulations @coastal í¼í¾í¼í¾. wishing you all the best hun! !

good luck with testing @daisy, fx for more bfps

fx for you too @ek, really hope you woke up with no af

@bobo, how are the symptoms today and keeping an eye on your bfp post soon. really hope you are using ics dear.

@Kkk87 oh the baby showers would be so tough! You poor thing. I don't think I could handle one of those at this point.
@Mimilicious013 haha thanks! Yesterday I did use a frer but I have a stack of IC's to use from now on. I made sure I went to the toilet early before I could be tempted to test. So now I HAVE to wait until tomorrow. I have weird slightly painful stomach twinges/cramps this morning so who knows?? Also a bit of back pain. But no AF yet so fingers crossed. My cycle tends to be 31 then 34 days then 31 again so not sure which one I'm on!
Good luck to all the Friday testers!!! Has anyone tested yet?

Argh. BFN for me - part of me doesn’t believe the test but I used clear blue early response so should be showing by now. Still no AF which is weird for me, I never go this long. Congrats @coastalchick! Glad to see some good news.

Ahh sorry @ek78! Although its not over until AF shows up! Are you sure about your ovulation dates?

Bfn for me too. AF is due Monday, and I'm never let so we will see!

*late

Thanks @bobotheelephant! Not 100% on ov day. It’s my second month of using digital opks. I got the flashing smiley for 2 day’s then the day I expected the fixed smiley, I got a bloody error message on the stick. by the time I tested the next day it was flashy smiley. I assumed I had missed the lh rush on the test but was ovulating - which would be in sync with my Fertility app and previous months pattern. So who knows? I’ll wait til Sunday for AF and then test again if it doesn’t show. This message board is a lifeline.

@ek78 I know what you mean!! This message board has helped me so much during the past month. Fingers crossed af stays away and Sunday you get your bfp.
Sorry no early joy @DaisyMay25. It's always nice to think you'll get the bfp before af is due isn't it!? Are you going to wait for Tuesday now or do a sneaky test Sunday?
I keep telling myself I should allow for this to be one of my longer cycle months and wait til Tuesday but honestly I'll probably test tomorrow again! 🙈

@Boboelephant I'm gonna do a sneaky one on Sunday, luckily I've got loads of internet cheapies! When are you testing again?

@DaisyMay25 I think tomorrow. Will just use an IC but tomorrow is cd33 and that's when I got my very faint bfp last time so fingers crossed!!

@Boboelephant how exciting! Fingers crossed!! When's Af due for you?

@DaisyMay25 thanks! 🤞🤞 i was expecting af today although sometimes my cycles can be longer so maybe Monday. And my last bleed was after my ERPC so it's possible I'm completely wrong!

hey everyone sorry to those with bfn this morning. i had one too on an ic at i think 10dpo but i can't be sure this month as i only got flashing smiley, no fixed which is odd for me, i'm normally so regular....

anyway will check again tomorrow as I'm out for drinks, but i'm reluctant to splash cash on a FRER. been at this too long, and its all so expensive peeing on everything!

otherwise i think af is due tuesday so then will wait it out... last month my cycle was only 23 days which would mean af will arrive today, otherwise i have been a solid 26 day cycle for almost a year. so lets see!!

Congrats coastal just amazing news. and i think we have a 40th birthday near each other! mine is september! i feel time slipping away too!

grumpy nice to see you, good luck for saturday, really hope everything will be ok.
