The July '19ers - knocked down, but never beaten

[Frazzlerock]

Hey @TinselBee, @Rose68, @BettySwoll0cks

Here is the thread I promised us.

Somewhere for us to help eachother, pick one another up, cry, scream, laugh..

Some of us may be looking to try again, some may be putting things on hold. Whatever our plans, lets get through this together.

(I don't know whether conception was the right choice of topic, I can always have this moved to a more suitable topic if anyone would like me to)

I will look through our threads again and see if I can @mention anyone else who might like to join us

I can't as I just did a preg test (neg!) and chucked my wee away and now we need to head out for Xmas eve at the pub.
I'll jump DP tonight just in case and see what my temp does tomorrow morning.
I'll do another OPK tomorrow, will let you know @TinselBee 🤞

Happy Xmas Eve all!

Frazzle jump on him for sure! Have fun tonight too. Great you got a negative on the pregnancy test too as you know it isn't that messing with your OPK! FX you do ovulate.

Rachy I ov on day 13 or 14 so my luteal phase is only 10 days. Weirdly my variation on cycle length comes from my luteal phase which I'm going to blame on the mirena coil. Wouldn't be surprised if its different post MC.

Good luck with the jumping Frazzle!

Had a nice chat with one of my friends today. It was our annual Christmas get together yesterday and turns out everyone was speculating if anyone was pregnant - I had a big glass of wine whereas I normally wouldn't so I'm glad I did that and there's no pregnancy gossip about me!

I've just looked at the preg test again and there's a faint line now 🙄
I've done another OPK and it's very faint so I don't think it's +
Wait... I'll grab a photo

OPKs
Top one from earlier today
Bottom one just now

Preg rest from earlier which now shows a line 🙄

This is why I don't do these bloody sticks!

@frazzle
I'm not expert by any means but I think the 10 min reading is the one to go by from what I understand.

I found my bfn test 3 days later as I emptied bathroom bin and it was a feint line... but obvs as AF arrived 6 days later it was a negative and the time had distorted it x

My body isn't playing ball either. Thought AF was starting today but no further bleeding after this AM whatsoever. Either will start properly on Christmas Day or I will be stuck waiting still. Bloody annoying as I programmed my fertility monitor today.

Still.. am currently eating a mince pie so you win some you lose some

Frazzle I wouldn't go by an old pregnancy test personally. Also OPKs can change within hours! And isn't LH meant to be a bit crazy on levels for those who suffer from PCOS which is why OPKs aren't reliable? I don't suffer with PCOS (formally was told I did but later went private and was told I don't!) Anyway, I can have a +OPK and then a few hours later it be negative again. Thats why I'm confused why I'm having still getting +OPKs 24 hours my first one!

Smerlin no chances it's implantation bleed? Idk what to expect regarding AF. I know many women on old threads appear to have a stop start AF for their first AF though.

Fricking old high school enemy (yes I know that sounds sad) just announced the sex (its a girl) of her baby on FB. URGH. I'm meant to be 12 weeks damn it I'm meant to be going for my scan in 3 days I thought I was having a girl. I was meant to be announcing to wider friends and family this Xmas about our 2nd baby. URGH. Sorry. Rant needed.

Also popped back into the old NCT group chat, massive mistake. 2 pregnant women in there just moaning about being pregnant. Okay, sure, one is seriously struggling with old injuries now her pregnancy hormones are making her muscles relaxed but I'd honestly go through that twice over for a baby. Feel like a bitter cow.

Glad I’m not the only miserable bint here tonight!!
I just burst into tears over our Chinese takeaway!
Tomorrow was supposed to be when we told the world, today we were going to tell the step kids they were going to be big brothers, I’m not supposed to be drinking wine, I’m supposed to be 13 weeks pregnant and instead I’m sitting here with AF in full force!! I’m so f**king miserable tonight :(

It sucks doesn't it. I keep thinking how different everything would be if it had worked out. I feel cheated of the Christmas I'd had in my mind. I see my family and friends once or twice a year so this timing was perfect.

On the positive side I got to drink some of the very expensive wine my dad was given for Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone. I know this year our Christmas isn't how we had it planned or what we wished it to be. But I really hope you all have a lovely day. Remember it's okay to be sad, anxious or frustrated today though. Just because it's Xmas doesn't mean we have to be happy. Lots of love xx

Merry Christmas everyone, hopefully the new year will bring good things for us all

Merry Christmas everyone! At least we have the today to keep us going xxx

Also thank you all for your generous support through this difficult time

Merry Christmas to all you lovely ladies! Most of us had announcement plans today I think, it’s a tough time for us all, but I hope you still manage to have a good day. I’m sure 2019 will bring exciting news for you all. Lots of love xxx

Fellow charters, do you reckon today's dip could be that 2/3dpo dip and potentially ovulated on CD18? Or do you reckon I am ovulating today as I got a negative OPK today? And it's an ovulation dip today?

One thing with BBT charting, never know youve Oved until a few days later

Hmm it could be a post o dip but it's gone very low. I think it's more likely you'll ovulate today. Fingers crossed your temp will shoot up nice and high tomorrow.

What cycle day do you normally ovulate on? I guess it varies for everyone but I'm trying to guess when I'll ovulate. Normally it's cd13 or 14 which would make it NYE. I guess the miscarriage might delay things though and I still can't be arsed with temping.

Merry Christmas ladies!
Thanks for being there these past few weeks!
Hope you all have a good day and this time next year we can all be comparing pics of babies or bumps xx

Thanks Kin usually I ovulate between CD14-CD18 but more often CD15.

Don't blame you with not being arsed with temping. Bloody confusing post MC.

Merry Christmas ladies.

Thought I'd just jump on to let you know I'm thinking of you all.

AF finally decided to show up yesterday & is awful. Woke up at 4am soaked right through 🤢 and have been carrying a hot water bottle round all morning. Merry fucking Christmas 👍🏼

Feeling very sad that I should be 12 + 4 but instead I'm sat here necking both Prosecco & paracetamol.

Bfps are coming in the new year, I'm sure xxxxx

Hello all!! I'm back!!!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas all!!!!

I am beyond tired and have slept about 6 hours in the last 2 nights. BUT, I have had an amazing holiday in the Caribbean and have drunk all the alcohol going.

I will update properly tomorrow but I just wanted to say hello for now.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!!

I PROMISE I will catch up properly but for now a quick update...

1. Still got preg hormones after all as tested again this morning and very faint line 🙄
2. OPK deffo still neg so yesterday's random + was just random.
3. I have some exciting news...

Looks like I'll finally have a DH and not 'just' a DP'!!
😲😳💜👰🏻

Sorry it's very me me me but I was desperate to tell you all and things are a bit hectic at home with a blocked sink and trying to cook Xmas dinner with no sink!
(Have to keep legging it upstairs to the boys' bathroom to wash anything)
