Welcome to the 🐧 huddle. This is a wonderful supportive group for anyone ttc after the loss of a pregnancy or baby. Together we can get through the ttc crazyness xx baby dust to everyone xx

Thank you @Frillyfarmer, I really hope so. I'll do another test tomorrow/Wednesday and see what happens.

@Mistymeow I hope everything is ok and I’m sorry you are having to worry about this

@Squiff70 I see a line 🙂

No problem @Frillyfarmer and wise to wait until calm. I always try to think the best of people but in my experience some pregnant ladies like to rub peoples faces in it. I'm not sure if it's insecurity on their part but it's pretty nasty. I hope you message makes her think twice next time. Xx

@Squiff70 that's brilliant news. Fingers crossed for line progression when you test again! Xx

Thank you @AliceRR and @Catconfusion. I'll keep you posted x

Hi ladies,

I wondered if it was OK to join?
I'm 32 and TTC #2
I had a MMC in April at 10 weeks, ERPC.
AF came on 4th May, first period since ERPC. I've constantly had brown discharge since the ERPC other than when AF was here, but I've been scanned and everything was gone. I got EWCM on Friday but it was pink and still going with the light brown discharge. Any ideas?

@Mistymeow Good luck tomorrow hun. I would be every bit as nervous as you, it's normal. Just take long, slow breaths to calm your nerves. Let us know how you get on. I'm glad they should give you a good idea there and then what type of cyst it is.

@Squiff70 I can see something there! Fingers crossed.

@Starfire85 hello and welcome. Sorry for your loss. Not sure about the bleeding. But all-sorts seems to be classed as 'normal' after MC and ERPC. Hopefully it will stop soon though.

@Lilimum7 I'm glad you've got your appointment through. It is super annoying having to wait so long for the results, but it seems pretty standard. My gynae wrote to me about my prolactin levels being abnormal 4 weeks after my tests and I got it retested before going back to them, so I'm sure if they need to do any further testing before your next appointment they will let you know. Fingers crossed for some easily fixable answers.

Just took a test to see if I need to start taking my progesterone pessarries...

CD 24. I think 11DPO

@KnitKitty OMG congratulations what a line! I had a feeling this month would be your month!

@KnitKitty YES! Congratulations

Congratulations @Knitkitty

Congratulations @KnitKitty that's great news!

Hi lovely ladies!
Just realised there's a new group! Sorry I have been out of the loop for the last month I just needed some time to focus on losing weight and getting fitter! Update on me, We were due to have our follow up fertility appointment last Thursday but after waiting around for an hour it was cancelled the Dr was sick! So it's rearranged for 5th June.

However AF was due on Saturday and she still hasn't appeared so yesterday evening I tested with FR kit and got a very faint BFP (big fat positive)! So decided to test this morning and I've got another very faint BFP (big fat positive)! This is yesterday's test I ran out of time to take a photo from this morning but it's very similar. I'm so confused as I thought if I am pregnant the concerntrated urine this morning would mean I would have a stronger result and confirm. HELP lovely ladies have any of you had such a faint line which developed?

Also hugs to all and hello to the newbies I'm sorry for your losses xx

Congrats on the BFPs! @KnitKitty @Raincart2017

Congratulations @KnitKitty and @Raincart2017 :) 🤞 it's lovely to see people getting their postitives.

I am struggling a bit as it feels so far away for me. I'd forgotten how overwhelming ttc can be. As we'd been trying so long and were off down the fertility clinic route, I'd not been so obsessive over tracking. Then to lose the baby and have to start again feels very much like an uphill battle.

@pinkoi lovely to hear from you. I’m sorry that you didn’t have a happy ending after the bleeds. How are you feeling today? Did you get a bfn?
@squiff70 that looks very promising! Have you tested again?
@raincart2017 exciting! Some women don’t get strong lines that’s why they say any line even if it’s faint is a positive. Fingers crossed!
@Venusstarr it’s so hard to deal with the loss of a much longed for baby and infertility. I struggle with this too. Feels like an uphill battle and a long slog. I try not to get disheartened by it and focus on the positives that we can get pregnant naturally. Sending love.
@knitkitty utterly thrilled for you!! What a lovely surprise as I know you didn’t have symptoms. How are you feeling today?

Thank you everyone for your kind words. It’s good news, an ultrasound confirmed it’s a cyst. I was terrified because the surgeon didn’t think it was and thought it was a Fibroadenoma that would need a biopsy. I started to cry when I saw the ultrasound machine because it brought back bad memories. But straight away the sonographer said “nothing to worry about. This is a cyst”. The relief is huge. They think it’s caused by hormone changes following the miscarriage and should resolve by itself. I will have to go back if it gets bigger. The surgeon was distractingly attractive . It has put things into perspective. I thought my loss was rock bottom, but imagine if I’d had cancer I would probably have lost my fertility. So I’m feeling grateful. Now I need to wash this biro off my boob!

Sorry I went a bit AWOL after joining, had to take a few days to myself as I was getting a bit down and everyone's decided to have their babies over the weekend.

I know I had a chemical and I know I'd only be 7 weeks now anyway but fuck this sucks so much.

AF should be here Sunday/Monday time. Roughly 7DPO if I ovulated at all

@Mistymeow - yes I did get my BFN on Sunday eve, 9 days after the BFP.

Been bleeding lightly for 25 out of the last 30 days and feeling very tired, been to get some iron supplements to see if that helps. Would like the bleeding to stop now tho. Going to start with the ovulation sticks to see where I am at as I have had 3 lots of bleeding during this time so I'm not sure where CD 1 is.

Hope things are ok with you xxx

That must be a relief @Mistymeow, your reaction to the ultrasound machine is completely understandable.

Sorry your having a hard time @VenusStar and @UnicornsandRainbows1.

Hope you find out where you are in your cycle soon @Pinko.

@Squiff70 congratulations fingers crossed for you xx
@Raincart2017 congratulations hope your lines get darker over the next few days
@KnitKitty there's no mistaking those lines hun congratulations xx
@Mistymeow great news about your appointment and results of the scan hun x

Sorry not to mention everyone. I've been awol and need time to get my head round another mc.

I'm currently cd10 (I usually ovulate today) but have nothing going on. Opks aren't even squinters either so very unsure what will happen this cycle, it may be that I won't ovulate this time or be much later. I just hate not knowing what my body is doing.

Thank you all for the positivity! Just hope the line gets stronger in the next few days x

@KnitKitty congratulations on your BFP xx

OK so I'm drinking grapefruit juice up until ovulation and taking Vitamins, Q10, and vitamin tablets galore. After ovulation pineapple core 1dpo to 5dpo, progesterone cream until 14dpo. I don't drink alcohol or caffeine and don't smoke. What else should I do to help prevent another loss I can't take another one. I'll also be doing asprin and progesterone pessaries should I be lucky enough to ever get another bfp.

I can't be that unlucky for it to happen an 8th time

@KnitKitty did you get the prescription before you need them or did you have to wait for a positive test for the doctors to give you them.

Not good news. This morning's FRER was the same and possibly paler than yesterday's. I think it's another chemical. AF due tomorrow. I'm devastated.

@Mistymeow that's such a relief xx
