Thank you all for your kind words. Sorry I have been quiet over the weekend. All things going through my head questioning why😔I'm booked into the doctors today as this is the 3rd time. I will come back fighting to join you all on this journey. Thank you all for thinking of me and your support💖💖xxx

Hope the doctor gives you positive news @Waiting2bMum. xx

TheatreMumma · 11/02/2019 13:59

Really hope the doctors are taking everything seriously @Waiting2bMum and you're able to get some answers. I'm not sure if you're passed the point of a 'my friend...' story but just in case it offers even a glimmer of hope, one of my closest friends had 3 mcs followed by tests which identified natural killer cells. Once she started receiving the appropriate treatment, things moved fairly quickly (probably not for her in all fairness!) and she now has two gorgeous girls 15 months apart. ❤️

Waiting2bMum · 11/02/2019 15:52

The doctor was great, he has referred me to the gynaecologist so just got to wait for an appointment. I explained all my issues with my cycles and how they have settled and since this I have fell pregnant 3 times. He seems to think my levels maybe low as to why I can't get past 4 weeks. So will have some blood tests and more that likely be put on baby aspirin (I have read about this before) so fingers crossed! I will be sticking around and ready to start again with you all💖xx
@MrsE95 slightly worried now as we haven't heard from you xx
@TheatreMumma @Lemurville Thank you both💖xxx

@Waiting2bMum so glad you are getting some help and the doctor is taking the right steps to sort this out for you, I suppose the only positive you can take from it is that you can definitely conceive so once they get you on the appropriate meds things should be positive from there, so sorry this has happened hope you are ok xx

GrapesAndCheese · 12/02/2019 23:12

Hi everyone, just trying to catch up.
Im so so sorry about your mc @Waiting2bMum. I hope you get to the bottom of it all Thanks

Dp and I dtd last night and were going to again tomorrow night I think to increase our chances. So I guess the 2WW begins! Anyone else in the 2WW?

Is anyone else trying for DC#2? Or has already had #2? We're your early symptoms different the second time?

lizzie198 · 13/02/2019 10:50

@GrapesAndCheese I'm joining you in the TWW according to my app but I'm not sure if I ovulated yesterday as it expected. Only second cycle and I was on the pill for 3 years so may be a while before things are back to normal. Agreed with OH over the weekend we are just going to enjoy it and not get too obsessive as it was starting to make me snappy with him which is not conducive to TTC lol x

laurenomarixxo · 13/02/2019 13:54

missed my period so I tested and omg..

meepmoop · 13/02/2019 16:04

@GrapesAndCheese I'm on second, I'm not sure if it's different as I've been overly analysing everything this time around but breast definitely were sore both times.

@laurenomarixxo congratulations!!!

lizzie198 · 13/02/2019 16:30

@laurenomarixxo congratulations 🥳

TheatreMumma · 13/02/2019 20:10

Aw congratulations @laurenomarixxo! That's fantastic! Yep, that's definitely a positive!! 😂

TheatreMumma · 13/02/2019 20:12

We're trying for #2 too @GrapesAndCheese. Couldn't be more confused about whether or not I've hit the tww yet though as I've been chatting bbt, which was going fairly well until three days of fever messed it up completely 😬🙈

TheatreMumma · 13/02/2019 20:14

*charting. God, if only I could chat away to my reproductive system 😂

Tryingforno2 · 13/02/2019 21:02

@laurenomarixxo huge congrats!
@GrapesAndCheese just got my bfp for number 2 a few days ago, absolutely zero signs with number 1 and loads this time around x

Waiting2bMum · 14/02/2019 09:33

Hi all, sorry I have been quiet had to step away for a while to come to terms with yet another loss😔😔thank you all for all of your kind words and supporting me. The next one is for me!! I'm more stronger and positive than ever. How is everyone?? Xx

ChloePD · 14/02/2019 10:13

Hi everyone :)

Just after some advice, like I said in my previous post, I've been off the pill now for 2 weeks, didn't have a withdrawal bleed which is very unusual for me, I have been going to the toilet very often in the past few days and today I have had a small amount of bleeding, pinkish, nothing there when I wipe, and now a small amount again but brown- is this likely to be the start of my period? I've had mild cramping but this was about 2 days ago, period normally starts without any warning which is why I'm a bit confused! Last pregnancy test was done on the 9th (wasn't an early detection test) and was negative. Haven't done one again since.

Ps, sorry to late/early messages, I have just arrived in Australia for holiday :)

Tryingforno2 · 15/02/2019 07:27

Hi @Waiting2bMum it's good to have you back! I'm off to the doctors today as I'm now 5 weeks and still peeing on sticks like a crazy woman I tested this morning with FMU and it looks slightly lighter than the test I did 2 days ago which was done at 3pm in the afternoon, I'm going to ask for some blood tests but I fear that history may be repeating :-(

MrsE95 · 15/02/2019 09:28

Good morning ladies! I am back. 🙈

@waiting2bmum I’m soooo sorry to hear of your loss it seems we really were cycle twins. I ended up in hospital and on the gynaecology ward and they confirmed I had very early miscarried also. 😞💔 ended up a bit poorly with it. 🙈

Very sorry I’ve been away but I needed time to just sit with the loss. But I’m back now and raring to go for the next cycle! 🤞💖

After catching up thank you so much for all your love and welcome to the new ladies and congrats to the new BFPs. 😁🎉💖

MrsP4 · 15/02/2019 13:28

Hi girls, hope everyone is ok, sorry to see some sad news on this thread but sending you all lots of love, I'm currently on cycle 5 2DPO. Just feel like it's not happening I know 5 months is nothing to some but it doesn't get any easier each month just feel like you want it more than the last

Tryingforno2 · 16/02/2019 18:57

@ChloePD ooooo you lucky thing I've always wanted to go to Australia!
It's hard to say re the pill really, if you have only been off the pill 2 weeks the 9th is pretty early to start testing as you probably wouldn't get a positive at that stage anyway,
Re the bleeding I am guessing you have figured that out by now? If it didn't last then possibly implantation x

ChloePD · 16/02/2019 20:00

@tryingforno2 thanks for the reply :) No AF since the light bleeding, I'm getting mild cramps in the mornings though and then nothing else. I have serious bloating too but this could just be signs of AF on her way- I'm in the whitsundays currently and so hoping she doesn't show for a couple of days!!
If nothing by the 20th I'll do an FRER, it's my 22nd on the 20th so hopefully I'll get something positive, not necessarily a positive result but at least I'll know where I stand so I can start preparing for my first proper cycle Smile

Tryingforno2 · 17/02/2019 08:37

@ChloePD that all sounds promising for a BFP if you ask me! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 x

Tryingforno2 · 18/02/2019 20:08

Good to have you back @MrsE95 keeping my fingers crossed for you this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 xxx

Waiting2bMum · 19/02/2019 09:27

Hellloooooo how is everyone?? I am officially back, I thought I was ready but I needed a few more days as was feeling so deflated after 3rd one😔😔

@MrsE95 so glad to have you back!! I am so sorry to hear that. And yes we really are cycle twins. It will be our turn next and all will be fine. Are you tracking ovulation this month? I don't think I will, I'm going to stop obsessing over it I think xxx
@Tryingforno2 how is everything going for you? Hope all is well. Have you stopped testing now? Xxx
@MrsP4 thank you for your message. I know exactly how you feel. Are you taking any vitamins?? Xx
@ChloePD hiya, welcome to the thread sorry I didn't greet you was going through a bad time. Fingers crossed for you. It may be a withdrawal bleed if you haven't long stopped the pill. Just give it a bit of time for your cycles to get back to normal xx

Welcome back @Waiting2bMum I'm taking folic acid, COQ10 and vital DHA were DTD at all the right times too, DH has just got a referral to have a sperm analysis done, he went to the docs and said we've been trying for 12 months, They said I need to go for a blood test too but they will know I've not been trying for that amount of time as on the system it will show dates that I got my pill but we're going to wait and see what the sperm results are and then I'll go if they all come back fine, I'm just struggling with why nothings happening, I don't think it's anything with me as my periods are regular, I'm getting positive OPKS my minds baffled!
