Thank you ladies but still a bit sceptical lol I’ve just bought loads more tests. Unfortunately the FRER were out of stock but bought 2 clearblue digitals, Asda’s own brand and IC so I’m ready 🤞😬🙈

MrsLBear · 12/12/2018 17:29

Let us know how you get on @Flossytots!! I'm sending you tonnes of positive vibes!! I can't see how the tests you did before could be all be wrong. You retesting in the morning?🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

MrsLBear · 12/12/2018 17:29

LondonKez · 12/12/2018 20:34

Eeek!! I see it @flossytots!!! Congratulations! Fingers crossed for your morning tests! Keep us updated xxx

Flossytots · 12/12/2018 20:40

Thank you ladies, will keep you all updated. I told hubby already and he’s waiting for the clearblue confirming how many weeks, to get excited bless him. Fingers crossed and baby dust to all waiting to test. 🤞✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

Flossytots · 13/12/2018 12:03

Hey ladies, did another test this morning. Going to wait till Saturday (11dpo) to do the clearblue digital, still in disbelief though 😬

@Flossytots 😬😬😬😬😬 so happy for you. I bet! Must be so surreal!!

ChikiTIKI · 13/12/2018 19:13

Looking good @Flossytots !!!! Clear positive to me. Looking forward seeing to the clear blue digital one.

I had bad news at the scan today as expected. I said I wanted an operation but then as they were trying to call another hospital to book it I decided to try medical management. Quite worried about it but having some strong cramps right now so really hoping that I miscarry naturally at home. That would be ideal.

Can I ask to be removed from the graduates list? Hoping to rejoin as a ttc-er in the new year for #3 xxxxxx

Carastarchild · 14/12/2018 17:19

Congrats! @Flossytots! Any update??

I am truly sorry that this is happening to you @Chiki. I hope you are okay. My thoughts and prayer are with you during this incredibly challenging time. Sending you love & hugs x

Ladies, I am heading to the Panto, so I will be on later tonight to amend the stats. I hope everyone is doing well...sending you all baby dust x

Awww just read all this and so happy for you @Flossytots! 🎉

And so sad for you @Chiki 😥 I hope that things go as well as they can now with the natural miscarriage but really sorry to hear!

I am around cd14 now, pr9bably expecting AF in about 10 days given how short my cycles are. Bad news here is that if I'm not BFP this cycle I will have to go on the pill for a month because otherwise I will most likely have AF on my wedding day which is mid-Jan. I will of course start trying again straight after, just praying I don't have to go through the same crazy hormonal mess after the pill again!

Hope everyone else is doing well 😁 Looks like there's a lot of us hoping for a Christmas day BFP! Xx

LauraPalmersBodybag · 14/12/2018 19:28

So sorry @chiki that’s such a blow. I hope you have the chance to stay at home where you’re comfortable and it can be managed from there. Have you been able to tell your work/take time off?

LauraPalmersBodybag · 14/12/2018 19:29

@flossytots congratulations! Hope you’re feeling ok?

Flossytots · 16/12/2018 07:19

Thank you all, did the digital this morning and it’s confirmed 😜😄 However the worry then settles over the bump🙈. I have been having some painful cramps but apparently that’s normal. Thank you all for your support and I will pop in to check in on you once in a while.

@Chiki I’m keeping you in prayers hun and sending you a virtual big hug 🌸🌸🌸🌸✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

So so happy for you @Flossytots!! Best of luck with the whole journey! Don't be a stranger 😘

ChikiTIKI · 16/12/2018 13:39

Congratulations @Flossytots !!! Wishing you all the best in your pregnancy.

I ended up miscarrying the baby at home and was told just the lining was left so decided against medical management and got a scan next Friday to make sure my lining is thinner as it was very thick still. The placenta came out last night though so they must have missed that on the scan. It was much bigger than expected so think I was further along than I thought. Always hard to know with long cycles if you don't do ovulation tests I suppose.

Part of me wants to be more relaxed about trying again, but then the placenta thing has made me wonder if I should do ovulation testing next time... Hmm...

LauraPalmersBodybag · 16/12/2018 19:05

Oh @Chiki once again I’m sorry. Though I am pleased for you that you got to be home and had privacy and home comforts. How are you holding up?

ChikiTIKI · 16/12/2018 21:38

I'm ok thanks @LauraPalmersBodybag
Feeling ok most of the time but quite sad sometimes too.

I was going to try and go to work tomorrow but I'm not sure... I could physically be there, with lots of bathroom breaks, but I just don't know if I can deal with the stress...

LondonKez · 17/12/2018 19:43

Congratulations @flossytots! How are you getting on? Xx

@Chikitiki take your time. Don't rush back to work if you don't feel ready, you've been through a lot physically and emotionally. When you're ready to try again, I'd say stay with the relaxed approach, I think I became a bit obsessed with ovulation sticks! How long were your cycles? xx

LondonKez · 17/12/2018 19:44

How is everyone getting on? Xx

38notcounting · 17/12/2018 19:44

@ChikiTiki so so sorry about the mc Flowers. Sending lots of hugs.
I think I'd feel less relaxed if I wasn't doing ovulation tests because it makes me feel (at least a little bit) in control but you should do whatever feels right for you xx

@Flossytots huge congratulations! Fingers crossed for a healthy and happy pregnancy xx

I think I'm out this month as have had my usual spotting a week before AF. I have read that it can be a problem (possibly a sign of low progesterone, although I've read so much that I could be completely wrong about that). Anyway, I'm going to give myself another month and then have some tests (probably privately as the gp told me I'd have to wait a year which seems a long time) just to check if there's anything which needs fixing or if I just need to be more patient.

Keeping everything crossed for some Christmas BFPs xxx

MrsLBear · 17/12/2018 20:48

Hi @LondonKez 👋🏼
I think I'm ovulating today. I've had quite noticeable cramping (which I swear I never felt before) and had a static smiley on Sunday morning. DTD on Friday and Sunday. Worked late tonight so there was no chance but tbf don't think I could with my cramps.
How are you getting on?

LondonKez · 17/12/2018 21:05

True @38notcounting, it is about what works best. I stuck with temping over opks, but I know a lot of people find that even more stressful! There is definitely an element of control.

Hey @MrsLBear! If you're ovulating today, you've definitely got it covered. I get cramps every month, but it reassures me that something's happening!

I'm good thank you! CD10, so due to hit fw over the weekend at some point and just generally trying to distract myself as much as possible! Xx
