The July 19ers - All aboard the rollercoaster for a 3rd lucky thread

[Frazzlerock]

Oh Tigsy, that’s terrible! I really hope that idiot hairdresser has learnt her lesson.

@Rather hmmm sharp pains on one side sound like ovulation pains.

@Betty I don’t think I would want to be travelling tomorrow if tonight’s weather forecast is right. I’m sure DS will have a fab time playing in the snow and eating cake. Hopefully Granny will be forgotten.

Twittle still thinking of you and your little baby. I really hope you're both OK.

Betty fingers crossed you get some snow for DS to play in!

I didn't think about the hormonal changes affecting hair and I'm getting mine cut today. Won't the hormones have all gone by now? Or does hair stay thick for a while?

My chart is looking really nice and smooth so far this cycle (post o anyway) which has been a good sign for me in the past. Trying not to get my hopes up too much though as I've had a nice smooth curve and positive test before and then my period came bang on time anyway. At least my luteal phase is short so I should know by Monday whether I'm pregnant or not.

Morning all.
So......yesterday I was 10dpo and decided to take a test......and it was positive! I have attached a photo. I don't know why I tested really. I was convinced that there was no chance this cycle as according to my data we had sex 5 days before ovulation. I know it is possible but chances are slim. So I was either lucky or I ovulated a day or two earlier and my temps were slow to rise. But yesterday I could just feel a really small tingle in my nipples and I had commented to someone at work about the smell of a banana. I got home and had a pack of 3 FRERs and decided to just go for it. Which is odd as I really try to wait until period day. Anyway, there was a line. It is pretty faint but hopefully you can see it there. My heart was just pounding so much.
I haven't told my husband yet which sounds ridiculous but I just can't. I had to go to the airport to collect my parents last night as they landed at 0030 and thankfully they came through about 1am. I was in bed by 2am but took my ages to get to sleep. They are just here for the weekend on their way to India for 2 weeks. We have plans today to go to the theatre and then out for dinner etc.
I think I am going to test again on Monday which is when AF is due and if it is positive then I will tell DH. My parents will have gone then too......oh I don't know.

Once again, I know we all want this for everyone on the thread but I know it's a slight kick in the teeth for everyone but j just had to write about my shock. This is my 3rd pregnancy in 12 months and I was due to go to the doctors in 2 weeks to have my blood clotting tests etc to see why I miscarried. Now I am so worried if I have to go through a mc again. I know plenty of people do and there are lots of you on here who have had 3mc but it's a scary thought.

But I have decided I'm not going to take progesterone this time and I'm not going for any scan until 8 weeks ish. And if something happens before then then it does. I am lucky with my healthcare here that if I wanted to go to the doctors tomorrow and have a scan I could (not that you would see anything) but this time I'll just wait.

So apologies for my essay this morning.

@Twitter I hope you are ok today.
@tigsyboo that is the worst hairdresser story I have every heard. How awful.

And finally.......Inspection is over!!!!!!! And we got top marks

I don't think my picture uploaded....

Argghhh, the picture did post and now I have posted it twice which makes me look like a real show off which was not my intention. Sorry all. I don't think you can delete a post either..... anyway - let's move on!

@edidxb congratulations!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 another one!! How are you feeling in yourself?

@Kinsters that's a perfect chart, keeping my fingers crossed! Xx

Omg edidxb congratulations!! And you were so sure it wouldn't be this cycle!

My hairdresser didn't mention my hair so maybe it's the same as ever. He's a man of few words anyway.

Congrats @edidxb! Fab news.
Still keeping fingers crossed for you @twittle. Know they are busy but it just seems so heartless to make you wait that long for a scan. They don’t seem to realise the emotional impact of all this, esp after prior MCs.
I’ve been testing for the last few days and I’ve had my first since MC on clearblue ovulation kit this morning... finally... now to dtd.. hope DH is feeling up for it!

Oh my yay edidxb !!! Bloomin hope that is v v v v strong line for you Monday and that this is gonna be 3rd time lucky for you xx

Kin that looks like my chart that ended in this pregnancy! FX for monday! Looks good.

I've woken with an awful headache and feel like my back has been stomped on all night. But no bleeding at least! Trying to convince myself that's a good sign and that this car accident will be different

Ah brilliant you've finally got that smiley! Enjoy DTD and FX! Buggles1

Headaches are a good sign - most common pregnancy complaint! @TwittleBee

Congratulations @edidxb !

Oh wow @edidxb !! What brilliant news!
New thread and third positive test. Love it 😁

@Twittle good news no more bleeding but sorry you're in pain. I still cannot believe this has happened again. Are there always such reckless drivers where you are? What will be done about the cunt who drove away? CCTV?

Well I'm still fucking waiting to ovulate. Another shit temp and on CD19 now 😢
I guess I'd better settle down for the long haul. I'm bored of doing OPKs now. This will be my 12th day of testing.
I know I will be last to get a BFP seeing as I can't even produce an egg.
Another bad mood day for Frazzle then. In fact I just shed a tear on the train platform as a 'Baby on board' badge passed me.

Also, where the hell is all this snow we've been promised!?
The DC are pissed off as they'd hoped for a snow day.

Oh the good news front, DP has been asked to come back in today after his interview on Weds. This is the one near my office. It would be so cool if he worked up the road. Great little start-up too and willing to pay top dollar for him 🙌

@edidxb that's wonderful! Congratulations!! Xx

@tigsy that's so insensitive. I'd have complained to the manager. Especially as she was so loud about it. I saw my hairdresser 2 weeks ago, told her about my two mc's as wanted to explain why is not seen her since beginning of May just before I found out I was pregnant with the first one. Turns out she also had a mc at 12 weeks 6 weeks before me. Ended up with us spending an hour talking about our experiences and feelings before she even touched my hair. Funny how people can react weird as soon as they find out about your mc, either they go all strange and try to avoid it at all costs or they want to talk about their own experience.

Anyone else finding themselves feeling angry at the need this morning? Poor newborn baby abandoned in Newham on such a cold night............... my first baby should be 1 week old today .........

Still feel so ill. Wish this cold would just go.

@edidxb oh that’s wonderful news, I am so happy for you!

@Buggles1 good news for the smiley face, quick get some bd in ASAP! This month I got the smiley face and already had ov pains.

@Kinsters even I can see that chart is looking fab!

@Twittle I hope you are okay.

@Frazzle don’t stress, you won’t be last x

We have have stacks of snow here, and school is cancelled 😩 I’m trying to gear myself up for a fun day of sledging, but actually I am feeling quite stressy. I probably have pmt, although I’m desperately trying not to have it.

Congratulations @edidxb!

@Frazzlerock I know the feeling seeing about 5 of those badges every day on my tube commute I tried to keep mine discreet and pinned it to my bag strap so when I sat down bag came off and badge was hidden and when I was walking used to put my have over it. I only showed it when I was on the train platform and standing on the train as didn't want to be pushed and shoved. You normally get a little more space if people can see you're pregnant.

We have some snow here but not tonnes, it is still snowing though but it's light.

@Indreamland I know, I can’t believe anyone could do that! The mother must have been in a terrible state. The baby is so lucky to have survived, I guess she was found pretty quickly.

Huge congrats to your DH Frazzle, that's fab news. Keeping everything crossed for him today.

We have no snow at all, yet just 10 miles down the road, people have abandoned their cars and have been sleeping in pubs etc. Madness.

That poor baby, and poor mother too. She must have been so desperate. Looks like the baby is going to be ok. Hopefully a lovely family will take her in.

No it's not that kind of place - it's 3 hairdressers in a little independent place - there's no manager like a high st chain.
I know she wasn't trying to be mean, it's hard for people to comprehend there are other outcomes to pregnancy than excitement and babies until you have been there I guess.... and my hair is OBVIOUSLY different - I guess she won't make that mistake again though.

I'm angry about that baby too... life just isn't fair is it. Really trying to be positive but now CD8 and DH already in a foul mood about court next week so suggesting dtd tonight to start smep plan seems a distant dream! X

@Frazzle yes, fab news for DP! Sorry I missed that before. FX he gets it x

My first reaction to the news about the baby was "I'll have it"!!!

Fx for your DP @Frazzlerock!

@Frazzlerock I think you work near my office. I'm in the London bridge area, 5 mins walk from borough market.
