Para congratulations and fingers crossed for a healthy and happy 9 months for you. It must be such a shock for you!!

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 16:05

Yes this is the fourth time for me too. I'm still shaking. I desperately want to be pregnant but a BFP doesn't bring joy anymore. And knowing I still have a womb full of adhesions and a very short cervix isn't helping. I'm waiting until middle of next week to call my surgeon. Could well miscarry before then anyway.

Last time I wrapped myself in cotton wool and miscarried anyway. I'm going to keep up walking, light gym work and healthy eating as much as possible this time. At least I feel I'm more prepared this time for a loss.

9 weeks, that's brilliant, getting ever closer to the end of the first trimester!

@Paranormalbouquet Can you send me those condoms??!! Well done :-) x x

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:07

Handholding all the way Para, whatever course life takes you on

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 16:07

@Paranormalbouquet. We are all here for you

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 16:10

@WonkyDonk87. Hey those pre mixed drinks are good lol. I like Jack Daniels and coke, it reminds me of when I used to hang our at this alternative pub with all of the punks/goths Grin. I don't have booze but I accidently made chocolate cake and rocky road.....they ingredients just fell into the mixing bowl....

Paranormalbouquet · 20/04/2018 16:11

Haha @LookingAtTheStars89, they are clearly useless, I'll happily send them on.

Funnily enough having got home very late after flight delayed last night I picked a fight with DH this morning (3 hours sleep before work doesn't agree with me). At least he'll have forgotten that when he gets in!

Miserablemouse · 20/04/2018 16:12

Oh Para! What are the odds!! Tentative congrats, you must be so shocked. Will keep all my fingers and toes crossed for you x

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:15

@LookingAtTheStars89 Cake and sand don't go as well together so you'll have to eat it all yourself! Happy Friday!

Pinkemi · 20/04/2018 16:36

@Paranormalbouquet keeping everything crossed for you that it goes okay!

very jealous of you @WonkyDonk87.. i would SO Love to be on holiday right now!

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 16:46

Sorry to say @Pinkemi that's not even a holiday shot... we flew home yesterday. That's just where I live Grin

LimpLettice · 20/04/2018 17:24

I'll keep every thing so firmly crossed for you Para. Maybe this one has found a safe little corner.

Er, Wonky, I'm sure you're very lovely, but you are making me very jealous. I'm in the garden with a Becks Blue, but I'd really quite like to swap my view of the washing line for yours Grin

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 17:27

Limp Washing on the line is a joy in itself! I thoroughly recommend the alcohol free cobra - doesn't have the horrid aftertaste of becks blue

@para tentative congrats! I hope this one sticks for you. Will keep my fingers crossed.

In other news I’m in my SIL garden in my bikini sipping pimms! Have a great weekend everyone! 🍸

SoozC · 20/04/2018 17:43

Fx all goes well, Para.

I have a glass of white wine (drink 'til it's pink and all that) in the garden, under our cherry tree. Hubby currently getting me dinner. Sun is shining. It's Friday. This day could only be improved by the removal of the pre-fp feeling in my abdomen!

WonkyDonk87 · 20/04/2018 18:37

I LOVE a cherry tree 😍 that sounds lovely Sooz

SoozC · 20/04/2018 19:07

Just come in. Started to get a bit cold!

STOP! Yammer time. 🍠
Bubblegum89 · 20/04/2018 19:49

Congrats paranormal can you tell me where you got those condoms please?! Fingers crossed this is the one for you

LookingAtTheStars89 · 20/04/2018 19:57

Ah! That's lovely @SoozC

MynameisJune · 20/04/2018 20:00

Wow @paranormal that’s one determined little swimmer! Fingers crossed for you x

Owlpatrol · 20/04/2018 20:27

@Paranormalbouquet congrats and tentative hugs from me
@SoozC snap been in the garden from work today had one cheeky glass of wine

Af is impending next week got cramps as usual today I'm 10dpo. Did an ic this morning just to confirm I'm not pregnant and obviously it was a BFN.

Dh been lovely but he's still so positive about it all which sounds great but I'm more realistic about things

Owlpatrol · 20/04/2018 20:30

@Bubblegum89 stupid question but what's normal for cramping? I reckon you'll know! I tend to get cramps from ovulation almost till af....fine I get that's normal. But is it a concern i.e I've read it could be high progesterone levels? It gets worse as it get to af and I'm usually 29day cycles so it's a bit of a pain to have them for so long as well!

Bubblegum89 · 20/04/2018 21:37

I’m the wrong person to ask I reckon Owlpatrol haha I cramp from ovulation til fp too. Not so much cramps actually as twinges. Always in my ovary area, both sides. Not painful but noticeable. I’m sure it’s probably nothing serious, I have had all hormone tests done and nothing has come back odd. How bad are the cramps? Are they just ones that come and then go ago after a few seconds? I suppose if they’re painful/constant then it might be an issue but other than that, I think they’re just another annoying thing we have to put up with

Aph413 · 20/04/2018 22:21

Congratulations para I've got everything crossed for you.
I got my first ever positive opk today, two of them because I had to double check, almost didn't believe it but the ridiculous cramping in my right hand side leads me to think it was real.
On the plus side this will be the shortest cycle I've had if period turns up in 2 weeks
