@Lovemysparkle ah I remember now. Sorry it's so hard to keep up and remember which stories belong to who! I really hope you guys get your baby soon. Have the rmc said anything or got you doing anything different?
@DaisyMay25 I'm so rubbish at seeing squinters but I hope you get a nice dark line soon.
@strawberrye hope it's good news today!!
@toasterstrudle I hope your recovery is quick. Be kind to yourself x

@Boboelephant I don't think it's that visible on the picture, gonna use a frer tomorrow and hopefully got a nice obvious line on it

Cakelaur · 26/04/2018 08:48

@DaisyMay25 there's defo something. Maybe a shadow or something. But defo something there. You defo need an frer!! 🤞🏻

Lovemysparkle · 26/04/2018 08:56

@boboelephant- all of my tests are 100% perfect (genetic,killer cells not done) & dp hasn’t been tested as I’ve spontaneously fallen pregnant 3 times so these are avenues we can explore! But on advice from the professor lots of sex, relax & be calm (yeh right!!) & as soon as I get a bfp I have to see professor straight away to have meds administered, progesterone & some form of blood thinners

Boboelephant · 26/04/2018 09:10

@DaisyMay25 fingers crossed for tomorrow and a frer!!!
@Lovemysparkle I will be keeping everything crossed for you lovely. We had our first losses about the same time (Nov '16 for me) and I hope that we will both be pregnant again asap together!!

Can I re-join you all on the icefloe? I'm desperate to make a leopard seal pun involving AF This is a lovely group. I've been really excited reading about the bfps and really identified with some of the lows experienced with pregnancy loss

I've been lurking since my ?3rd mc. It's unclear if it was a fresh pregnancy or the tail end of the 2nd. I know I should go to my gp about going to RMC clinic but I'm keen to give it one more dice roll.. we've only been trying for 4 months total so investigations feel a bit daunting

SerenaOverjoyed 28 ttc #1 cycle 1 (ttc 1 cycle pre mc)

Lovemysparkle · 26/04/2018 09:18

@boboelephant- thank you ❤️ I really hope so would be great to be pregger twins😁 I hope you get your bfp ASAP! Everyone tells me (people who have never had mc) it’ll happen when you least expect it & although in my heart I know they’re right I just wanna punch em!!! Whatever happens this cycle or next or next after that I will be here to catch you & all of you other ladies if you need it whole heartedly ❤️❤️❤️

weasledee · 26/04/2018 11:23

Chart experts!
Since my AF stopped my temp has remained low, according to my app I'll ovulate around Tuesday, should my temp climb before then and drop after ovulation?

zarala · 26/04/2018 11:38

@Primrose16 usually the nhs just prescribe baby aspirin to thin blood and progesterone. Since you're pregnant I would ask my GP for a prescription today! My colleague swears that this is what gave her her DS after 2 MCs

@Martydog yay! So glad everything is looking good!!! Fx for you!

@Daffodil77 congratulations!!! Fingers crossed for you!

@BadBadBeans I like your positive attitude! Paint away while you can!!

@Claire138 Hahahaha jiggling your boobs in the toilet!!! This cracked me up so much! And yes drink and enjoy!

@Cakelaur your dog is the cutest

@Wellthisunexpected sorry to find yourself here but welcome !

@YellowDaffodils86 I can't watch it- it makes me cry and/or I end up hating the husband, or midwife or someone always ends up annoying me! Haha

@rdm10 I'm sorry- the sorrow comes in waves - sending you hugs and penguin huddles

@toasterstrudle I am in a really similar position- my best friend/cousin and I had due dates 2 days apart! We were so excited to go through it together but alas mine was not meant to be,.i am happy for her as they were TTC #1for almost a year, while I already have a DD. If I didn't have my little one already it would have been so much harder. But yeah - it's tough

@DaisyMay25 hope it gets darker for you!! Best bday present ever! Good luck and looking forward to your POAS Friday !

Currently hungover in bed! First big night out in forever! Was great! And definitely needed!
We let off balloons for my first MC who's due date was my birthday and sent blessings to it's little soul...despite the alcohol I didn't Cry! It was very cathartic and actually fun, and great to have support of my gfs

strawberrye · 26/04/2018 11:39

@weasledee your temps should rise after ovulation, some women get a pre-ovulation dip in temperatures too

Cakelaur · 26/04/2018 11:54

@weasledee your temp stays low then jumps up after ovulation. What @strawberrye said! 👊🏻

Daffodil77 · 26/04/2018 12:13

@primrose16 I've been taking baby aspirin. You can get it from Tesco. It's the 75mg one in a yellow packet. Less than £1 I think. I was recommended it by someone with a history of recurrent MC. I've also heard about its use a lot on MC threads.

weasledee · 26/04/2018 13:00

Thanks chart ladies Smile

Claire138 · 26/04/2018 13:20

@daisymay25 joining you tomorrow! So nervous 😬
@lovemysparkle I had a rant last night at my hubby about how the hell do people relax!!! We all know it but I still don’t know how to do it!
@rdm10 sorry you are having a rough time at the mo. As Zara said it comes in waves for me too. As difficult as it is, try and keep positive...I need to take this advice as well!

Lovemysparkle · 26/04/2018 13:38

@claire138- it’s so frustrating that bloody word “relax”!!! Some people who have tried to give me advice I’ve answered with- I appreciate your advice & probably agree with you but unfortunately mc takes away the ability to relax!! Our bodies are an amazing thing & although I can relate to people who are worried/stressed about ttc or having a successful pregnancy can actually prevent getting a bfp (I think this is my case 😩) there are women all over the world in the most unprivileged conditions & they can continue a successful pregnancy so I’m sure one day I will get there!! Those people didn’t know what to say to me !! & I wasn’t being rude but politely saying until you or anyone else has answers or solutions I will patiently wait my turn & you can stick your “relax” up where the sun don’t shine!! But in a very polite way of course!!

Primrose16 · 26/04/2018 13:53

@zarala and @Daffodil77 I’m scared about taking something without a doctor. Will it be okay to take then? I did debate taking it.

strawberrye · 26/04/2018 13:56

Ok so my second hCG is 31, having been 27. Safe to say this is not a normal, viable pregnancy. Spoken to my GP who has spoken to the gynae registrar who apparently is as confused as the rest of us! Waiting to hear back from the gynae consultant.

Cakelaur · 26/04/2018 14:13

Oh @strawberrye babe I'm so sorry.

KnitKitty · 26/04/2018 15:00

30, TTC #1, cycle 1, day 2

I got the all-clear from EPU on Tuesday. FINALLY had a negative PG test 4 weeks after ERPC. (Had MMC, two failed medical managements and then 3 and a half weeks of positive PG tests following surgical management - it's been exhausting. Not had AF since Jan 10th and nothing to show for it).

The doctor I saw told me if I want to start trying again see Tuesday as the first day of a new cycle for dating purposes.

I'm not holding my breath this month, especially as I have no idea what's going on with my cycle, so won't be properly trying until next cycle, but miracles do happen...

Congrats to those who've had BFPs since I last posted.
Good luck to those who are still trying. You're all amazing and so supportive of each other.

Boboelephant · 26/04/2018 15:01

@Lovemysparkle thanks! I agree with you and @Claire138. How the hell do you just stop thinking and relax?? No idea!!
Good luck for tomorrow Claire!
@strawberrye oh hun I'm so so sorry. I hope the consultant can tell you what's happening soon.

@strawberrye I’m so sorry 😔 hope you’re okay. Sending lots of hugs Flowers

Lovewinemorethanhusband · 26/04/2018 17:10

@strawberry so sorry xx
@laney how are you doing ?

strawberrye · 26/04/2018 17:23

Looks like even the consultant is confused! As my levels are so low it's no use in scanning me, and as I am not bleeding or in pain they don't seem to be that fussed. I have to wait to have my hCG checked in a week, then if it's falling it can be called miscarriage, if it's rising then they'll scan .e to exclude ectopic. Don't know what's worse really, 2 miscarriages in a row or having a miscarriage then ectopic, so I don't really know what to hope for Sad

Daffodil77 · 26/04/2018 17:47

@strawberrye I'm so sorry. That's really shit. Especially the waiting. :( We're here if you need to rant.

@primrose16 i think it's fine to take as long as you don't have clotting issues already

I'm still hanging out here if that's ok. Did a digital this morning and it was not pregnant, but it's probably too early. My free was about the same as Tues night which makes me concerned as it was fmu today. Not getting my hopes up yet.

@Claire138 I stopped talking to my bff about TTC when she was saying to relax. She meant it in the nicest way and I am an obsessive TTCer but it's such useless advice. This time my dh had finished studying, we went on holiday and he qualifies very early in tww. I suspect that all has a lot to do with it. But I couldn't have done anything proactively to make that happen.

Outside of the huddle for me, nothing to report. Except Clearblue asked for all their surplus tests back at the end of the trial, that pissed on my chips - obviously no baby but thought at least I'd have half a dozen CBD's in the bank 🙄

Looks like DH is off to LA for work on Sunday, so to avoid missing FW I'm going too cackles
