Glad all looked good on the scan @Boboelephant

BadBadBeans · 20/04/2018 12:15

Heya, I'm on another TTC thread but I'm going to join here too!

I'm 33, have a DS who is 20 months, and I am in the process of miscarrying at 9 weeks (pregnancy only measured 6 weeks when scanned last week). I am a bit sad but not devastated - at the moment I'm taking the attitude that it wasn't meant to be. Both DS and this pregnancy were first-try pregnancies, so at least I know we conceive easily (or have done twice, at least, which seems promising?)

Currently thinking I will wait for one normal period before TTC again as I would like to have a reasonable idea of dates.

hayleyfx · 20/04/2018 12:57

@Boboelephant so sorry af arrived. 99% sure I’ll be joining you soon so fingers crossed for next month!! 🤞
@Muffin so sorry for your loss. You can start TTC again whenever you feel ready, I started trying immediately too. Hope you’re doing okay Flowers
@BabynameEdie I think there could be a super faint line maybe? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!
@Primrose ooh, fingers crossed!🤞

Also just want to agree with everything you all have said, I have found this thread such an amazing support system so thank you to all you lovely ladies!! I’m so hopeful for everyone here. 🤞

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 13:31

@BadBadBeans welcome and very sorry for your loss. That’s a good attitude to have. I try that sometimes but it doesn’t last long.

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 13:59

Just bumped into a family I used to work with. She said isn’t it about time you start popping out more babies 😡😡😡😡😡

Claire138 · 20/04/2018 14:25

@boboelephant sorry AF came but also glad you didn’t have to linger in the limbo stage! Also glad your scan went well! Always nice to get some worries squashed!
@passtheaftereights fingers and toes crossed for you!!
@primrose16 good luck to you too!! Sorry about that stupid question!! As if we aren’t hard enough on ourselves we have those numpties that make us feel worse!
@babynameedie I think I see something too but it’s a tricky one! Do you know where you are in your cycle?
@daffodils77 good luck!! I’m 4dpo and the monthly hope is building that this might be the month, along with the it’s not going to happen negativity. Busy this weekend but next week I will no doubt be back to overanalysing everything 🙄

BadBadBeans · 20/04/2018 14:33

@Primrose16 Thanks. I think it is just my way of coping at the moment. I imagine if this happens more than once, the laissez faire attitude will disappear quite rapidly... Sorry about the insensitive comment you got from that lady :( Why are people so silly?!

hayleyfx · 20/04/2018 15:00

@BadBadBeans so sorry for your loss, you seem very positive though which is great. I feel positive now however the first month or two after my MC I was an absolute mess so good on you for staying positive, it’s a hard thing to do!

Boboelephant · 20/04/2018 17:30

@Cakelaur thanks. Yep dreams are brilliant at showing us what we're anxious about. Sure you're a wonderful new puppy mum!
@Primrose16 yeah they are classic for it! Sorry you have to go through it too. Don't see how a blood type could have any effect! Well it just takes the once! Sometimes when you stop thinking about it that's when it happens. And that is rubbish! Some people are so blissfully ignorant of the struggles. Hope you're ok.
Thanks @Anyday88 and @hayleyfx 😀
@BadBadBeans oh I'm so sorry to see you here. I remember you from the March thread. Sorry it didn't stick. Brilliant positive attitude. I hope that can stick and you are able to conceive easily again.

Oh and not updated in a while so - no idea what’s going on with my body!! 🤦‍♀️ I’m still getting strong positive OPK’s 🙄 haven’t attempted another hpt yet since the bfn on first response! Don’t want to waste my last frer lol. I kind of just want af to arrive now so I can move on from this month, it’s been so confusing!! Thankfully work has been hectic so it’s kept my mind occupied!

YellowDaffodils86 · 20/04/2018 18:17

@BadBadBeans sorry you are going through MC. Well dome on having a positive attitude.
Its such a sad thing to see so many people join but nice there is somewhere to
go to chat and find support.

Also hugs to others that have joined recently.

@BabynameEdie fingers crossed for some
Darker lines soon.

@Boboelephant glad the scan went well, good to things are looking good.

Fingers crossed for those who are still waiting... limbo continues.

BFN 10dpo 11dpo 😩 have resisted today amd will test tomorrow with a FRER wit FMU at 13dpo.
I have had today and yesterday with nausea hanging around in the background, weird vivid dreams and some niggles in uterus area.
I really hate the limbo, symptoms spotting two phase. 😩

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 20:52

@Primrose16 what an insensitive comment. People really don't think do they!!

@YellowDaffodils86 ooh excited for tomorrow babe! Eek!! How exciting.

Who else is close to testing.

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 20:52

Also wanted to share how brave I'm being... I'm in the bath!!!! I'm trying to conquer fears this week! It's a very very cool bath. But still.

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 21:25

@Cakelaur bless you. Are you worried about baths

Cakelaur · 20/04/2018 21:29

@Primrose16 I haven't had a bath in months!! Too scared it will harm either sperm or in this case, baby. Scared about everything!

L1zz13 · 20/04/2018 21:49

Can I throw this spanner out there to my new penguin dog lovers...
Did any of you still test positive during your 1st period after mc?

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 22:14

@cakelaur that’s understandable pregnancy after miscarriage is so worrying.

Primrose16 · 20/04/2018 22:15

@L1zz13 I haven’t with any of mine

PassTheAfterEights · 20/04/2018 23:14

shitty motherfucking bastard AF 😩 / CD1 🎉

Thank you for all kind words of support, in other good news for the first time in TTC memory I carry forward 1x FRER with me into the next cycle to no doubt display more fake news at 10dpo

@Cakelaur well done that girl 🛀🏻 I'd - er - metaphorically join you, except current accommodation is tub-free 🙄 roll on everything about May!

(Less me me me post scheduled for tomorrow) x

BabynameEdie · 20/04/2018 23:55

Hey @PassTheAfterEights - new cycle, new chance, new 🐧 huddle etc. Go get 'em!!
Sorry about af though :( am sure I'll be joining you soon. Came back home to see my squinter of this morning was even less of a squinter so I reckon it was wishful thinking!

@L1zz13 I didn't either I'm afraid but then I didn't actually do any hpts after my MC, I didn't really know what to do or to look for, so I just let it happen. Ahhh..ignorance is bliss (not that it was at all blissful, but I do slightly envy the girl I was when I didn't know everything about temping, charting, poas etc!! Now I'm obsessed).

@YellowDaffodils86 fingers crossed for you for tomorrow! I'm going to do a frer too but pretty sure it'll be a bfn. Good to have a poas buddy! 🤞🤞

@Boboelephant just caught up on your scan news, so glad it's all looking healthy and happy...beans just waiting to be caught. Am sure it'll happen soon, relax relax relax (yeah, I know, as if!!) 🍷☀️ hope your bbq was fun

@Cakelaur 👏👏👏 good on you for having a bath! I hope it wasn't too cold though!!😂

PassTheAfterEights · 21/04/2018 06:46

Thanks @Claire138 & @BabynameEdie & don't be despondent, they always fade after a few hours! Fx for this morning x send anything you like my way for the lightbox!! So kind of you re the FF sharing trial, love it 🐧🐧

@Boboelephant thank you & fab news re scan, very happy to read x hope bbq was lovely! We did the same, weather so heavenly ☀️

Good luck to all weekend testers, I have everything crossed for you 🤞 Off 350 miles up the road this morning for probably the 19th time since we started this house move so hope to read some good news en route!! xx

Boboelephant · 21/04/2018 08:10

@hayleyfx ah that's so frustrating. What CD are you now? No idea what the positive opks mean.
@YellowDaffodils86 thankyou and good luck for today! Have you tested yet?
@Cakelaur glad you are facing your fears. Hope you enjoyed your bath.
@L1zz13 I got my negative and then got af so didn't test again. Had you gotten a negative before af? If not perhaps it's still left over MC bleeding? Some people can have bleeding for weeks after.
@PassTheAfterEights ah crap!! So sorry the witch got you too. Now that we are af twins and will be going through the craziness together again next month I will keep clinging to you 🐧 Apparerently babies 'Tenerife' and 'Sequoia' were not meant to be so new themes for Jan babies! 350 miles!!! I thought you were just moving house- not entire areas. Wow. Definitely roll on May.
@BabynameEdie thankyou. Hope your line gets darker this morning again!!
Thanks all. Fingers crossed it's good news too when I get the other results but it's a relief to hear that the ovaries are good. Doc said just keep using opks as you don't want to miss it as my days skip around a bit. DH has now decided the solution is dtd every second day all month TWICE a day!!! Haha when I finally stopped laughing I explained how that might be unachievable especially with a 2 year old who wakes up at 6am. 🤣

YellowDaffodils86 · 21/04/2018 08:18

BFN 😩 uhhh give up. Not testing anymore, waiting for AF and go through the whole bloody thing again next month.

Boboelephant · 21/04/2018 08:27

@YellowDaffodils86 aww sorry hun!! It's so shit isn't it. Sending a big hug! We'll be here for you next month too.
