TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 25 BFPs for all!

[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:

strawberrye
Age 27
TTC #1
MC#1 5-6 weeks January 2018
MC#2 5 weeks April 2018
TTC since October 2017
Cycle 5 TTC since most recent MC, cycle 11 TTC overall

@knitkitty that's cool, not obsessing is key to a healthy mind. I just wondered as I appeared to ov last month according to opks and ewcm but still no af and sounded similar to your last month. Annoying.

"overly-obsessive and stressed about TTC and scupper my chances rather than help them" .... well let me introduce myself:

TTC no.2
DD 2.5
Age 36
Trying since Dec '17, MC 8.5 weeks June '18
Cycles still f***d but CD 8 of ??? day cycle. No sign of ov.

Lovely to meet you. Sorry you're all here.

Thanks @strawberrye

TTC #2
DS: 2 years
CD: 6 (although see question below)
MMC and D&C: April at 11 weeks
Age: 37

I've just realized that I've totally messed up my dates. I started testing with CB advanced opks on what I though was CD 8 (yesterday) (empty circle) cos I had a very short and random cycle last month but just realized that was from date I was spotting not full AF. Counting from full AF would make me CD 6 today but I got a flashing smiley this morning. Isn't CD 6 way too early?? If my cycle is meant to be 27-29 days? Anyone else get flashing smileys this early?

Thanks for the new thread

Age 34
DD 2.9
MC October 17, bfp on my birthday so that’s going to be fun this year.
TTC#2 since April 17 but ntnp since DD was born in 2015. That small age gap I’d dreamed off just never happened.

@boboelephant sorry af arrived

@laney79 fingers crossed for you!

@laney79 I can see lines on both tests 🤞

@Laney79 I definitely see lines on both too. Fingers crossed for you.

Hello ladies
I'm 37 and trying for DC #3
1 mmc, 1 natural mc and 1 chemical mc.
I'm either about to ovulate, have just ovulated or something else, I'm truly clueless this cycle. Used cb advanced digit opks and got a static smile this morning but no other signs that I usually get so who knows.
Where's everyone else at the moment?

Do any of you ladies use the cb fertility monitor and if so is it better than other cb opks, is it worth the money?

Age 31
Mc at 10 weeks and ERPC May 2018.
Also have DS who is nearly 2.
Cycles have been messed up since mc and just had first proper cycle, which ended in AF. Now on cd7 of new cycle and away on holiday...hoping that does the trick?

So...that's pretty conclusive!

Excited but petrified. Thankyou all for your lovely comments and support. Am I ok to hang around for a bit? Still such early days xxx

@Laney79 wow that's a lovely strong line congratulations! Stay around as long as you need.
Anyone else in the TWW? FF says I'm 3DPO , I reckon I might only be 2 based on EWCM, but either way I'm into pineapple phase!

Omg @Laney79 that is a wonderful line!!!!
Congrats!!! Here's to an easy and healthy 9 months!!!

Amazing thing to wake up to!!!
Please do hand around!

@Laney79 I meant hang around
But do also hand around the magic baby dust!!! 😘

@Laney79 how many dpo are you?

Beautiful lines @Laney79 ! Here's to healthy 9 months! 💐💐💐

Thanks guys! Honestly still a bit shocked-keep looking at the test!

@zarala I'm cd29...15dpo (so following in @Cakelaur footsteps I think) -honestly thought AF was on her way last weekend as I felt distinctly periody but guess it must've been implantation.

And absolutely-lets have a big old sandstorm of baby dust for all.

Just hoping this little one sticks and is healthy. But whatever happens I'm going to try and enjoy being pregnant right now, and for however long it lasts. I owe my first bean and my new little Bow that. Xxx

Wow @Laney79 congratulations! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy.

@Laney79 no mistaking that line! Congratulations!! Seems that your break from thinking about TTC was exactly what you needed. Fx for a healthy pregnancy.

Thanks to everyone for your kind messages! I'm having a horrendously heavy and painful AF which is unusual and unpleasant! When I had reiki a few weeks ago she asked what was happening in my ovary/tube area and said all my energy had been blocked there. So now I'm hoping that with this af, I'm flushing out all the 'stuckness' and I'll be all set for next month! I'm also starting a fertility diet. Fingers crossed! a morning message from your resident hippy dippy elephant 😂😂

@laney79 congratulations that is a great line. Fx for a happy and healthy pregnancy xx

So looks like af has arrived this morning so think my cycles are getting a bit longer again was 25/26 pre mc then 25 for first couple then 28 now 27 so who knows though with these slightly longer cycles that does mean that if not pregnant next cycle and that is around the same then fw is bang in line for holiday in September so feeling more hopeful for next couple of cycles.

Hello everyone! Thread 3 for me, sorry to see so many still here and so many new people so far but glad of your support and advice.

Age 34 (35 in a few days and should be fertile that week!)
Mmc at 12 weeks scan (10weeks after seeing Heart beat at almost 9 weeks) surgically managed
Chemical after long cycle (40 days) and blazing frer in July
DD is 20 months
CD10 today, expecting ovulation CD17 based on apps. Temperature charting for first time this month and booking in for reflexology. Same place also does reiki - anyone got a preference if one or the other is better? It's all new to me!

@Laney79 Hope this is a sticky one. The girls over at the pregnancy after loss thread (brexit babes) are lovely and you'll know many from here when you're ready to dip your toe on a pregnant thread.

@Boboelephant @Blondcat Sad for your AFs had high hopes it was your time too. Fx for next time.

@zarala Got a good vibe for you too - seems many people catch just as the treatment plan starts.

@Ells0204 Are the things you're taking prescribed or self obtained? Starting to get a bit intrigued about what else we could do!

@Mistymeow We're at similar stages this month and I too am determined not to test until late after last months heartbreak.

@strawberrye Thanks for the new thread. Bet it's a lucky one!!

Hi everyone else 😘

@laney79 massive congratulations! I hope you have a very sticky bean.

@boboelephant take care of yourself lovely, everything 🤞for next cycle!

Yay! Congratulations @laney79 that’s a great line! Can I ask, did you do anything different this cycle that you think might have made a difference? I’m always on the look out for new things to try!

boboelephant Sorry the witch got you. Purging the stuckness sounds plausible to me, you'll have a nice fresh oven this cycle

Canters15 A holiday is the best medicine!! Although you would have to consider a location based name for lo if you do conceive..

Laney79 blimey, what a line! Congratulations

Bittersweet to see some familiar names. I wish everyone the most fabulous cycle, I definitely think the thread is due some more bfps
