TTC after pregnancy loss Thread 19- More cake for more babies

[Boboelephant]

I figured it out!

@YellowDaffodils86 sorry to jump in on your conversation but I was just the same! Googling IB compared to AF etc etc.. feel so unpregnant it was a ridiculous attempt at holding on to the last hopes of an April BFP.
I feel May is a good month for us all @Boboelephant @YellowDaffodils86 and who else is with us? Sorry I find it so hard to keep up! We need an excel spreadsheet about who is where in cycle 😂 xx

@BabynameEdie glad im not the only mental one! We can all be crazy together 😂
What CD are you? Im lucky and only have 4day periods so hoping today it will be done with.
The excel spreadsheet sounds good, i always struggle remember who is where.

Gods honest true, I was just doing the same!!! I googled if you can have a period and still be pregnant?!?!? I know the answer to this daft question!!!!!!!

Clutching at straws nut bag here to🙋🏼‍♀️👋🏼👋🏼 I’ve soooo googled period & ib 🙈🙈 I’m on cd8 so just gearing up for fw 👍🏼 Dp was away weekend just gone on his stag do & since he’s been back we’re like a couple of teenagers 🙈 I’m away this weekend for my hen & he suggested setting alarm for 4.45am (we get up at 5!) so we could have a quickie!!! So we’ll only miss Saturday as I’ll be back Sunday!!

Set alarm for Friday morning I mean!! So in theory will only miss Saturday (go away Friday late afternoon back Sunday lunchtime) the things we do ehhhh🙈🙈

Girls don’t worry! I’m 8dpo and you can smell the desperation of me! Especially with a little royal baby plastered everywhere...really pulls the heart strings!
Hope everyone is doing ok.
@dulwichdays you never know, hopefully AF stays away.
Good luck @daffodils77 it’s looking pretty positive!!
@hayleyfx still no sign of AF?

Ladies. It's my birthday this month. And i feel like I'm gonna get gifts of all your bfps!!! So get those husbands and boyfriends and partners and knuckle down in fw!! And get the pineapple core at the ready!! Haha 🤞🏻

My birthday is in May... not April... haha

Thanks @boboelephant will look her up!

To all the crazy googlers- totally with you on that! I was looking at my search history recently and the random things I've been looking up since the m/c made me smile/shudder! My latest is how I can predict when af might appear - I've been through so many pages that all the links on google homepage are now purple as read them all even though I know it can be totally random and different for everyone.. But hoping to book a last minute holiday and ideally want to avoid it if I can!

@Cakelaur it's my birthday tomorrow, send my lots of baby dust for it please!

@Claire138 nope no sign of af... no sign of anything really! Can’t even guess when af is due! 😂

Oooh @DaisyMay25 happy birthday for tomorrow 🎁

@YellowDaffodils86, @BabynameEdie, @weasledee and @lovemysparkle haha!! Definitely have googled that!! @sweetpea0318 I delete my history now. Hiding it from myself!!!
@Cakelaur thanks hun. Hope so!!!
@DaisyMay25 happy birthday for tomorrow!!
Good luck to all those approaching fw!!

Hello all, just an update. My blood hCG levels confirm I am pregnant but aren't very high - just 27. I have to have them repeated tomorrow to see what the trend is. If they are falling then its another miscarriage, if they are rising then its either a pregnancy or an ectopic. The saga continues.

@strawberrye fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy for you!!! Sorry it's so stressful. I hope you'll have some good news soon.

@Boboelephant I didn’t test this morning. I’m thinking before app tomorrow, incase they don’t. Best to know either way

@strawberrye fingers crossed for tomorrow for you. What a confusing time.
I might have googled implantation bleed- and been faced with grim photos of blood 🤢

Ha ha @cakekaur you got baby brains already forgetting the month of your birthday. Happy birthday for tomorrow @DaisyMay25 I’m sure I will forget tomorrow.

@hayleyfx that must be so frustrating. Are you still getting strong positive opks? And resisted anymore tests? I hope you either get a BFP or AF soon so you can come out of limbo.
@strawberrye fingers crossed you have a healthy pregnancy and just a late implanter.

@strawberrye- I’m sorry your going through this uncertainty ❤️ I 100% know how you feel I had hcg & progesterone bloods & the waiting is a huge struggle in itself, easier said than done I know but I tried to take lots of rest & naps to pass the time. Just rest up & please know that we are all thinking of you & if I could make it all ok for you I would in a heartbeat sending you lots of love❤️

Good luck tomorrow @Primrose16 and @strawberrye.
@Lovemysparkle what a lovely message x

@Boboelephant @Primrose16 @Claire138 thanks all for your thoughts, and thanks @Lovemysparkle for a particularly lovely message. I will let you all know when I hear the results on Thursday, as I mentioned before I'm not feeling particularly hopeful, and I'm quite worried about having an ectopic, hopefully by some miracle it'll be a healthy intrauterine pregnancy.

@strawberrye sorry you’re going through this, you must be so worried. However hcg levels vary so much and it could simply have been a late implanter! I’m keeping everything crossed that you have a sticky bean hun 🤞
@Claire138 it really is, I’ve stopped with the OPK’s and hpt’s for now as I’ve run out 😂 tbh I don’t mind anymore if it’s a BFP or AF that I get - just want to be out of limbo!! Haha 🙄
@Primose good luck for tomorrow 🤞

@strawberrye sorry to hear what you're going through, I hope you get positive answers on Thursday and that it's not an ectopic or mc, just your little bean growing normally and healthily 🤞

@hayleyfx poor you how long have you been in limbo for?

I'm starting to realise my life as it is at the moment is not conducive to having a successful pregnancy. My work is too intense, too busy and too many hours. I think my mc was a hint towards it and now lack of pregnancy since mc is reiterating that..so I think I may close my business at the end of the summer. All I want is a family 💕 and it's amazing what this process is leading me towards. Deep down I'm quite relieved, it was all getting too much!

@DaisyMay25 it's my birthday tomorrow too! 🙌🏽 twins! 🙌🏽
I'm a bit sad as it was also the due date of my first MC back in August - but have a cheeky midweek girls night out to help forget!

Thanks @Boboelephant - bow is a bit of a mish for me in NW London but thanks! You've inspired me to find another acupuncturist

@BabynameEdie excel spreadsheet?! You're talking my language 😂
But yes you know what- I am in such a similar mindset as you- since my last MC, I have started "working" from home- and just slowed my pace down 110%. The acupuncturist, Chinese doctor and naturopath all told me that my body is tired and I need to take it easy! We forget as 21st century women that actually our bodies are made to make life and that requires so much energy and we really need to pamper ourselves a bit more and give our body the space and time to chill out so it can create another human! After all we can't all be superwoman!

@strawberrye -sorry you're going through this- I have all my fingers crossed for you! And ditto what @Lovemysparkle says! She's definitely the sweetest sparkliest of us all!

@Primrose16 good luck tomorrow and let us know how it goes

And to all you googlers- glad I'm not the only one with a dodgy search history! 🤦🏻‍♀️

@strawberrye sending hugs babe. 🤞🏻for good results. How many weeks are you now by lmp?
@BabynameEdie I got to the same decision. I'm managing at the moment to take a month off (coincidentally fell pregnant just before my month off started) and then I'm going on holiday and back to work part time. I'm having to find someone to cover me and help run the business. Once baby arrives I'll take 3 months off then go in only for bigger jobs. (I'm a cake decorator) what do you do?

@hayleyfx I hope you get some answers. How late is AF now?
