• Thou shalt not give advice to others when TTC for one month only

• Thou shalt not participate in one-up-manship and realise TTC is shit for everyone in different ways

• Thou shall allow posters to be fucked off with the world and everything in it at regular points in the month

• Thou shalt not be offended by strong language

• Thou shalt not tell everyone to eat yams

• Thou shall accept being called a muppet for testing at 7dpo at 9pm at night

• Thou shalt not symptom spot during the two week wait and must be prepared for a telling off if you do so.

-Thou shalt not post pictures of positive pregnancy tests. We will be delighted to hear about it but no photos, please and thank you

We're at different doctors unfortunately @cupcakesandglitter I has gone through my mind though x

@ImpatientMammy how you doing? X

Maybe you still could @Owlpatrol just say he asked you to ring cause he's been so busy with work 🤔 I'm feeling better today thank you. I'm at my parents house from our fake Christmas still so I'm going to travel home Sunday and get everything clean and organised for a fresh start. I've shown we can get pregnant and parts of the internet say I'm more fertile 🤞 x

Yes fingers crossed my love @impatientmammy I am still holding onto hope this cycle. May test at the weekend but cramps are on and off still

Aww I do hope so @Owlpatrol x

I fell pregnant exactly a week after my most recent miscarriage impatientmammy so it's definitely a possibility and it's good you can see it that way. Fingers crossed for you all.

I feel totally depressed this morning keep snapping at dp at the smallest thing and we should be enjoying our weekend. I just know af it's on its way. Also got a headache I can't shift just checked ovia and af due Friday coming

@LimpLettice my

My other half is away till the 16th so I hope I don't ovulate early.
I hope your ok @Owlpatrol

Went on a lovely day out today then at one point I just felt like there was babies everywhere and had to hold back the tears a bit. I'm ok again now though.
I hope this is a lucky year for all the yammers x

Feeling down tonight - been really strict all week with diet and been exercising 3 times a day and I have out 2kg on! How?! Just taken the Christmas stuff down too and the house looks kinda bare and empty :( hope everyone is having a better weekend though :) xx

Me too! @Pinkroseuk so consoling myself with some wine 😂 how are you doing been quiet?

Thanks for all your support ladies, I had a heart to heart and a little cry with dp today and feel much better. I really wanna dtd but pre af dryness and emotional mess means I'm not up for it and dp understands bless him

@Owlpatrol sounds like a good idea! I have just raided the box of Lindt balls left from
Christmas! Not too bad really just trying to get weight down before hospital appointment but feel I am failing!

I feel the same before AF so know how u r feeling xx

Yeah i was quite surprised by my weight when I went @Pinkroseuk I'm gonna get back on it next week

Yeah I'm just reading through the NHS 12 week weight loss programme - I'm already doing most of the things on it so struggling for ideas on how to improve :/

I'm going to do keto @Pinkroseuk I lost about 10 pounds last year on it and dp done amazing lost like 2 stone (he needed to 😂) and any diet I can eat cheese is a diet I can do!

Thanks @Owlpatrol I will look into that tomorrow. My DH has diabetes and eats like a horse - he puts no weight on at all - so trying to cook for both of us with such different needs can be hard sometimes!

What's everyone been up to today? Been getting my head and house in gear. Kind of! Had a baby bomb today from an old school friend and I didn't even know she was pregnant, it was a Facebook baby bomb. Often the worse as it's a suprise and you think about it all day anyway. Another week tomorrow

@Owlpatrol we have packed the Christmas stuff away and cleaned most of the house! Went for a walk and then did some more cleaning!
I have been tempered to have a Facebook break for a while - most of our friends are still wedding planning so babies are not on the cards yet but hate it when someone's pops up randomly- still as you say new start next week xx

@Owlpatrol hope you're well - baby bombs are crap, especially when they're so unexpected and we're TTC. My nipples no longer hurt (boobs are still a tiny bit tender) but I think symptoms from my CP have finally worn off. I think I'm gonna have a month of not thinking about TTC/planning sex. Just gonna see what happens I guess

@Owlpatrol @Pinkroseuk @cupcakesandglitter I've been off Facebook since my MC... too painful.

Yeah I could really do with a social media detox! Looks like af is in its way early, must have messed up dates but I had early spotting last cycle and again this time I've got brown spotting. Currently cycle day 25/ 11dpo

I’m still spotting 6 weeks after my MC - normal?!

Sorry @BGDino I really don't know I just didn't want to ignore your comment? How you feeling today? X

Sorry chick not sure @BGDino have you tried calling the doctor?

I'm experiencing pre Af spotting soooo even though it's a few days early expecting af any day

I had my much waited for follow up with the obstetrician today and I didn’t get the certainty that I was looking for.

I’m being sent off for a battery of tests including genetic screening, blood clotting problems. My obstetrician has not heard anything from the pathologists doing the autopsy on my baby. He wants us to wait on trying again until he gets something from them but a final autopsy report can take up to 6 to 8 months. He said that up to 1 in 3 couples don’t wait for the report before trying again and it’s rare that something comes up.

The risk of not waiting for the report is that there’s something syndromic (ie. genetic problem) that happened to my son that could happen again with another pregnancy and that could cause me to lose another one. On the other hand I don’t think my mental health will hold out for waiting 6 to 8 months. I don’t know what to do, I’m so confused and disappointed.

Oh, forgot to add I asked the obstetrician about the spotting. I got scanned to make sure there wasn’t any placenta left, he put it down to the lining needing to shed as I don’t get periods, so I’m on 28 days of oestrogen then oestrogen and progesterone (14 days then 14 days) to make it shed.
