[strawberrye]

🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧🐧

Another new thread! This is a lovely supportive thread for anyone who has suffered the loss of a much wanted baby. Affectionately known as the penguin huddle- this is the place to survive the ups and downs of this crazy journey.

Kicking off with a roll call:

@Laney79 Want to continue this here... I see a line too! I know you're nervous but if you're not sleeping then I would definitely go and get myself a test. I still remember the night before I found out I was pregnant, i was awake from 4am too and trying to distract myself with early, early morning tv before I said 'sod it' and got my bum to Boots. Best £13 I ever spent.

Thanks for starting the new thread!

Hi, can I join? I’ve been following the previous thread but haven’t plucked up the courage to join until now.

Age 30, TTC #1
May 2018 - MMC at 11 weeks, measuring 9 weeks, had seen HB at 8+5 - passed naturally
July 2018 - MC at 6 weeks, passed naturally after being poked for bloods several times as they suspected PUL

We decided to start trying again as waiting a cycle before trying didn’t really get us anywhere as we had the 2nd miscarriage. Bit worried and anxious about the fact that I’ll never enjoy a pregnancy fully due to these losses - trying to get over that hump!

Here's me

TTC#1
MMC discovered in March at 9 weeks, bean measured 5 weeks. Long protracted process which only finished in June.
Cycle 3 post MMC.
Possibly, perhaps, maybe got a squinter on a IC test this morning (pic on previous thread)...hoping it may be a BFP on a frer tomorrow! 

Thanks @TedLife - I'm trying not to get too hopeful but have just bought frer-£2 off at the local pharmacy!

@laney79 good luck! It looks promising x

Hey everyone
Just marking my place

Age 36
TTC#2
DD 21 months

3 consecutive MCs since last August bank holiday.
Took a break for a few months to recuperate and I'm now on cycle 2 TTC.

Been diagnosed with very aggressive natural killer cells, so on a drug protocol

Currently 9dpo and anxiously waiting for Friday to test! 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

MC#1 6 weeks Feb 2018
MC#2 11 weeks May 2018
This is my 2nd cycle after MC - AF due probably in a week - don't know how long my cycles are as didn't have period while on BC. This was my 1st cycle when I tried OPKs but didn't get even a hint of lines - not sure why (didn't ovulate, due to age or that I drink too much water so gets too dilluted?).. so who knows.

Place marking

Age 37
Ttc #1 since sept 17
Mc naturally at 6 weeks in April 18
Cycle 4 post mc (af was due yesterday but after last months 3 days late waiting until the weekend to test as she will probably show before then)

Thanks for the new thread @strawberrye!

Age 40
TTC #1
MC1 - mmc detected at 9 weeks (though stopped growing at 5/6 weeks) July 17
MC2 - mmc detected at 10 weeks (stopped at 6/7 weeks) March 18.

Currently approaching the fw on cd11...

@laney79 Fingers crossed! Exciting!

Thanks @sweetpea0318 and @robin78

Trying not to get to excited just in case. Wondering if I can hold out till Friday to test again...even with a frer. Thinking that way surely I should get a clear line -that would be CD30 and past two cycles have been 25/26 days....

Thanks for the new thread @strawberrye!

Trying since Sep 2016.
EP rupture and tube removal at 7.5 weeks Nov 16
MMC and ERPC at 10 weeks, hb stopped at 8 weeks Dec 17
Cycle 9 since MC. CD 1 😫

@Laney79 Totally understand that. Crossing my fingers and toes for you.

Hi everyone
Marking my place.

Age 38
TTC #1
MMC discovered at 11+4, natural MC at 12+3. Am only 4 weeks and 2 days post MC.
Took 5 years to get pregnant only for it to end in heartbreak.

Thinking about getting back on the TTC wagon again but terrified of another 5 years of disappointment and another MC if I do get pregnant.

Fx for you @Laney79

Tentative congrats for you @Laney79

Thanks @strawberrye for the new thread!

Welcome to the newbies even though it's sad we all ended up here.

I'm now 6 days late, feeling nauseous and itchy and so tired but BFN 2 days ago and today :(

Hi ladies!

Laney79 I don't want to get your hopes up unnecessarily, but I too could see a squinter on the test you posted on the previous thread. I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you. xxx

Boboelephant sorry it didn't work out this time. Don't give up!

Role-call update for me:
TTC #1
MMC in March ERPC at around 11 weeks, baby stopped growing around 6 weeks I think.
CP in May/June
Currently cycle 5 post MC.
CD... No idea, actually. Not really putting much thought into it this month. Don't think I'm in the TTW yet, but hard to know as last month I don't think I ovulated and period was a week late so I've sort of given up on trying to know what my body is doing and letting it sort itself out.

Signing up....
Age 39
Ttc#1
3mcs sept 17 dec 17 may 18
Under recurrent clinic pending blood results and non pregnancy scan next Tuesday.
Cd 34...... usually bang on 28 so this is an anomaly. Getting bfn's.

Just updated my Ovia app and its like ...."errr?"

Excited for @laneys frer test! A bfp would be ace :) xx

@knitkitty are you using opks at all or anything to try and track ov? Interesting if you didn't ovulate and had late af, I think that's where I'm at. I'll be grateful to see af when she turns up!

Hi ladies, I'm still here, just not posting as often....

Ttc no. 3
Age - 42
Had a loss at 14 weeks last year and a chemical this year...

Ladies over 40, there's another great thread that you might find useful, come and join us there too :)

"Over 40 ttc - August baby dust for me"

Yukka no I don't track. Up until now my periods were very predictable so I didn't feel the need for tracking. I'm a bit loathed to do any tracking as I have a very strong feeling it would make me too overly-obsessive and stressed about TTC and scupper my chances rather than help them. I know this isn't the case for a lot of women though, just my personal feeling.
