This is a very tentative toe dip in to pregnancy for me. I've had 16miscarriages, most recent 6 months ago ending in a D and C. So I'm not jumping for joy just yet 🙈😂

thosethreewords · 11/03/2019 20:34

@CoachBombay congratulations! Lovely little line!

HappyGoLuckyGo · 11/03/2019 21:21

Bloody hell, @CoachBombay- 16?? So sorry to hear that. Got everything crossed that this is a sticky bean!

barnburntdown · 11/03/2019 21:38

Tentative yay coach bombay!

Was it not you who went halfway cross the country for a' date' in the car with your man when you realised it was a fertility window?

barnburntdown · 11/03/2019 21:38

Also coach sorry to hear of earlier losses. Here's hoping xxx

CoachBombay · 11/03/2019 21:42

Hahaha yes that was me 🙈 poor Volvo. DH has said he is sort of gutted he might not get the chance of a romp in the car again in a dark car park like two teenagers any time soon 😂😂

barnburntdown · 11/03/2019 21:53

I thought it was you. I must have made a mnemonic ..coach & car....It just goes to show doesn't it. Your womanly instincts were correct!

ale2992 · 11/03/2019 22:19

Told myself I wasn't going to really track this month and see what happens, just use my app I said....
Just bought ovulation strips, can't help myself!

CoachBombay · 12/03/2019 11:08

Well call me synovial but I'll be heading off to the April bust stop. Something's not right, low temps, lighter line on a FRER this morning. So this will be number 17 to add to the basket. Have a GP app at 16:10 so will discuss what I do now. Because quite frankly I'm exhausted of it all and just fed up.

pugmama7 · 12/03/2019 11:42

@CoachBombay I'm so sorry lovely. Let us know how docs goes but fingers crossed everything is ok with your little bean xx

CoachBombay · 12/03/2019 12:54

Well "AF" has arrived...joyful. See you on the April bus 🙄

I'm so sorry coach 😔😔 xxx

Broodyaf · 12/03/2019 13:41

@CoachBombay this is so so sad.
I'm so sorry, sending you hugs xx

limesoda · 12/03/2019 14:00

So sorry coach, that is so shit

workinprogressmum · 12/03/2019 14:24

So sorry @CoachBombay :(

CoachBombay · 12/03/2019 15:50

Thanks for all your support ladies, hopefully a good chat with my GP about a plan or something will help. I can't just keep going on like this. Xx

Nell90x · 12/03/2019 16:12

So sorry @CoachBombay 💐 I hope you can find out something useful at your GP X

CoachBombay · 12/03/2019 17:52

I'll start by saying the GP I saw was lovely, I have seen her before when I was having a problem with my PTSD and she is amazing.

However sadly, it's the end of the road. I'm not eligible for I for pgd IVF as I have one DS. The NHS won't just fund Clomid cycles to force ovulation which I also struggle with as my egg quality is poor due to the genetic issues.

So I'm completely stuck between a rock and a hard place and I have now sadly run out of options.

So that's it, other than a wing and a prayer I have nothing left 😣.

Don't quite know what to make of it all, I'm 29 and done with babies, and I'm at that point in life when absolutely everyone around me is having them. I know o should be thankful I have DS, which I am but I also feel incredibly guilty he will be a only child and it's all my fault 🤷.

So for now I'm just going to step away from the TTC table because quite frankly there's no point. 😢

Good luck ladies, and thank you so much for all the support. Xx

HappyGoLuckyGo · 12/03/2019 18:00

Ah Coach, that sounds unbelievably shitty. So sorry to hear it. Hope your DP can be of some help as you process the info from the GP.

Whatever you do, do please try to not feel guilty about your DS being an only- I've read countless threads on here about how wonderful it can be, both for the child and the parents. Maybe you can get some support there, when you're ready for it? Wishing you all the very best.

Peachyx2505 · 12/03/2019 18:19

I just want to echo what @HappyGoLuckyGo said.

Please don't feel guilty. I was the only child at home when I was growing up and it's not affected me negatively. Please be kind to yourself lovely xxxx

Michellebops · 12/03/2019 19:49

Coach sorry to hear this.

There is a Facebook group called my first, my last my everything which is full of support for those with one child.

If I don't manage to conceive myself in the next couple of months I'll be withdrawing also xx

Broodyaf · 12/03/2019 19:55

So sorry to hear this @CoachBombay but I agree with the other ladies that u should not be feeling guilty at all.. ur child will be so loved as he is even extra special to you now. At the end of the day all a child needs are good parent, love & support - and I have no doubt you'se will supple all 3 in abundance.
Take time out to yourself to process the info ur GP said today and do not be too hard on yourself.

And who knows what the future holds...

Take care xxx

Givealittlebit · 12/03/2019 20:08

Sending some love coach, I only just hopped on but sending some stranger support anyway!

goldflakepaint · 12/03/2019 20:37

Just caught up on the thread- @CoachBombay so sorry, please do whatever you need to do to look after yourself and process things. I'm sure a lot of us can relate to the feelings of guilt- it's so important for us to treat ourselves as kindly as we would our friends and recognise that we've done nothing wrong to be in the situation we are in. And its okay to ask for help if needed. I wish you all the best.
