@KnitKitty sorry it dragged on so long for you. Fingers crossed you can move forward now and get your sticky bean soon.
@strawberrye I'm so sorry again. It's really crap. I hope it can be as quick and hassle free as possible for you. And vent away it's not fair. Any of it. You will come through this and I'm sure you'll get your baby but you can be mad now. Just make sure you share it and talk about it. Sending hugs.
@PassTheAfterEights how rubbish CB are asking for their tests back! But exciting for LA! What day are you expecting to ovulate? My stupid long irregular cycles means we may not be twins for long as she sobs, don't leave me Enjoy the sun 🌞
@BadBadBeans sending hugs. It's hard when others are pregnant around you. Even when you're happy for them it still stings.
Aww @YellowDaffodils86 that's lovely. I agree with you, @hayleyfx and @weasledee. Also know how hard it is when it was so easy before and then it becomes hard. This ttc stuff really is minefield.
@Hayleyfx I hope your cycle ends soon!!

@Claire138 yes!!!!! Congratulations! I had a feeling for you this month! What a line!!! So pleased for you!!!!!

Sorry @DaisyMay25 I did indeed mean you!! Totally in a daze this morning!! 🙈 must have been all the blood I lost! 😂🤣

zarala · 27/04/2018 10:29

Yay@Claire138 ! What a great way to start POAS Friday!!! Fingers crossed for you- I know it's such a hard position to be in- stay positive but don't get too excited! It's exhausting- but just take each day as it comes- and I am really hoping this sticks for you!

@strawberrye - I know babe it really sucks. I can't imagine how difficult this limbo is for you- but if one things for sure it's not the universe telling you you're not destined for motherhood- if anything it's just not yet the right time- it WILL happen for you. Sending massive hugs and penguin huddles

@DaisyMay25 I am useless as seeing those squinters but hope it all turns out well for you!

@Cakelaur what a horrible moment that must have been when you looked down! But my cousin who is also pregnant has the same issue! Pregnancy is so undignified!

@Curlypop - have fun tonight and good luck!!!

And as @hayleyfx said @YellowDaffodils86 loved your post! Was really touching and so true!!!
#womenwarriors #survivors

Good luck to everyone POAS today!

Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 10:33

That took so long to write with DS causing mayhem I missed a few!
@curlypop welcome. So sorry for your loss but good luck DH jumping!
@DaisyMay25 so sorry there's not a nice strong line but you're still quite early aren't you? Fingers crossed for the next few days.
@Cakelaur haha. Hope your bum bleed stops!! 🤣🤣 try and enjoy your holiday anyway!!

OP posts:
Curlypop · 27/04/2018 10:34

Oh no @Cakelaur hope your bum recovers soon!

HidCat · 27/04/2018 10:50

Happy POAS Friday ladies. Congratulations to those with BFPs. BFN for me this morning as expected and AF due this weekend.

@Cakelaur hope your bum feels better soon.

@strawberrye I hope you're ok and wishing I could give you a big penguin hug. A good friend of mine was in exactly the same position and no cause was found but she's due now after successful IVF. Your time will come I'm sure xx

Wellthisunexpected · 27/04/2018 11:26

Yay @claire138 congratulations. Fingers crossed for a sticky bean

Daisy, I see a squinted on the internet cheapy.

Claire138 · 27/04/2018 12:41

Thanks ladies. 😬🤞
@strawberrye I am so sorry you are going through a shit time! Especially when there is no rhyme or rhythm to why! I really hope they are able to give more info next week. Are you back in for more tests next week?
@cakelaur thanks but I don’t think I’m brave enough yet 😬 sorry about your butt! 😂 but as bobo says just try and go and enjoy your hols!
@passtheaftereights doesn’t sound like a bad idea...have to go to LA because of fertility week 🤷‍♀️ 🤣

hayleyfx · 27/04/2018 13:21

@Claire138 wow congrats!! Fingers & everything else crossed for a sticky bean! 🤞
@weasledee it’s so hard, I know for a fact that if I am lucky enough to fall pregnant again soon then I will be worried sick 24/7, so I totally understand!
@Cakelaur haha I got confused there!! Btw ouch! That sounds sore 😣😂 hope it’s feeling better soon!
@strawberrye I’m sorry you’re feeling so rubbish 😔 I know exactly what you mean, it’s a horrible feeling. Hope you get some answers and are feeling better soon Flowers
@Boboelephant thank you!! CD34 now it just feels neverending haha! I also found an hpt last night which I did this morning and it was negative (which I’m okay with) so just want af to hurry up!🤦‍♀️

Oh and ladies... my SO and I decided to very randomly get a tattoo today haha!! I thought since I’m not pregnant & we weren’t working this morning then why not 🤷‍♀️😂 it has so much meaning though. Two little baby feet. I’ll post a pic soon when it looks better, it’s all wrapped in bandages right now and a bit too puffy and red still haha!

BadBadBeans · 27/04/2018 14:02

@YellowDaffodils86 lovely words; thank you x

@Claire138 eeeee! Fingers crossed!

@DaisyMay25 sorry about the tests. Yes, leave it a few days and then see again. It's so hard when you just want to see that second line.

@strawberrye the universe is telling you no such thing! Please don't feel that way. I hope very much your time for being a mum will come soon, but I'm so sorry for what you're going through in the meantime x

@Cakelaur you poor thing! Were you a bit constipated perhaps? If it carries on might be worth speaking to GP?

@hayleyfx your tattoo sounds lovely.

@Claire138 congrats on the BFP x

Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 15:47

@hayleyfx tattoo sounds lovely. Good to get out and do thing that you want to do!
@Peachesarenom did you go back to the epu today lovely?

OP posts:
Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 15:48

Oh @hayleyfx your pic just popped up after I posted that. Looks good!!

OP posts:
Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 16:19

Also @Cakelaur I read your message in a lighthearted way. So sorry about my reply if you're in pain or worried!! I hope the bleeding has stopped. When do you leave for holiday?

OP posts:
peachesarenom · 27/04/2018 16:21

Hi Boboelephant thanks for thinking of me! It went well, still a bit in shock. This time they could see a yolk sac, fetal pole and possible heartbeat, all in the right place. Have to go back in two weeks to confirm viability. When you get your BFP don't go in till 7/8 weeks! The unnecessary worry is not worth it!

peachesarenom · 27/04/2018 16:36

DaisyMay25 I can see the faint line too.

I'm sorry strawberrye I really hope it is not ectopic.

DaisyMay25 · 27/04/2018 16:42

@hayleyfx that's adorable!
Thanks guys, gonna just test on Sunday and see what's going on

peachesarenom · 27/04/2018 16:46

PassTheAfterEights LA!!!! So jealous!

Congratulations Claire138 that line looks great.

I had that too Cakelaur drink 2 glasses of prune juice a day, it will mean you don't have to strain.

Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 16:47

@peachesarenom so glad it went well! Finhers crossed all is good on 2 weeks. Unfortunately when I get a bfp I have to go in at 5 weeks as I've had a ruptured ectopic at 7 weeks. So for me it's about ruling out anything outside of the uterus first, and then going back 2 weeks later to check what's actually in the uterus. Can't take a chance as don't want to lose both tubes!

OP posts:
peachesarenom · 27/04/2018 16:51

Good point Boboelephant! I hope you get a sticky bean in the right place!

DaisyMay25 · 27/04/2018 17:16

@Boboelephant it's good that they're doing that for you. Fx you'll get a bean in the right place (this is my worry too, I told DH I want ivf so at least I know it's in the right place)

Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 17:35

Thanks @peachesarenom me too!!
@DaisyMay25 yeah it feels a bit of a relief. After the EP I was told I would always have scans at 5 weeks as they take them super seriously. Especially if you had a nightmare experience like I did I guess. Although last time we had that scan and found out it was in the womb and stupidly thought we were set. Then MMC at 9 weeks. 😭 I think the doc at EPU felt so sorry for me that she wrote in a letter to the GP that they would always scan me at 7 weeks too.
Here's to sticky womb babies for us all!

peachesarenom · 27/04/2018 17:39

Boboelephant it's so tough isn't it. I find it so hard to hear about things going wrong, I think people don't understand the massive physical pain and fear for life involved. It took me weeks to get to the realisation I'd lost the baby. I was just in so much shock from the pain. I really want to be chilled out. I'm going to force myself.

Boboelephant · 27/04/2018 18:34

Yes @peachesarenom I think you're right. I didn't really deal with the EP loss for a long time. I think it was because everyone's focus was on how I almost died so I couldn't properly grieve the loss of the baby. Then when the MMC happened, I was grieving for two babies at the same time as it all came up again.
I've decided though that our luck has changed though!! You are going to hold your little bundle in your arms at Christmas and I am going to follow hopefully in Jan!! So try and relax hun x (easier said than done I know)
