I'm sure I've forgotten some. I'll tag more!

@Fivebyfive2 that is a beautiful sight! X

@Fivebyfive2 Ahh what wonderful news! Internal scans are much better pre-12 weeks, and not nearly as uncomfortable as you’d think! I’m so so happy to see all is well. Hope you can go and have a relaxed holiday now!

Thanks ladies!!

@Validuser, that's one of the better pics we got! They did a quick 3d type one, it looked terrifying! But it's lovely to think of little jelly baby moving around, heart beating away. I was really surprised how strong the heartbeat is actually! I'll be popping in still, keeping everything crossed for you this week 🙂 xxx

@MrsEG, thank you hun, we are feeling more at ease now, just knowing all is going how it should. I hope you have a lovely weekend xxx

@Fivebyfive2 I bet it’s such a huge relief, I can’t imagine. Enjoy the weekend x

Ladies, I am officially taking a break from MN for a little while. Had another blip this afternoon, not coping as well as usual the last 24 hours. Need a break from all phone/apps in general I think and get back to my counselling.

Will check back every week for sure to check on BFPs, and I have all my fingers and toes crossed for all of you - good luck ladies!! Speak to you all soon ♥️♥️

@MrsEG, fair enough sweet, you need to take care of you! Sending all my love xxx ❤️🙂

@MrsEG look after yourself. Will be thinking of you. Xxx

@MrsEG take care of yourself lovely. You've been a huge short to me this month. Thinking of you xx

support* even!

@MrsEG and @ELW85 thanks! I know I need to stay positive.

@MrsEG Take care of yourself - will be thinking of you! Lots of hugs xx

@Fivebyfive2 what a gorgeous scan! That must have been so lovely to see! Such an exciting time!

@ValidUser that does look like a clear negative to me too. Fx for Monday!

@MrsEG take care of yourself lovey xxx

@Lokicat thank you, am feeling less teary this afternoon, phew.

Thanks @ValidUser

@MrsEG - totally understandable, take care my dear xx

@MrsEG you're probably already not looking at MN but just wanted to send you lots of virtual love and say thank you for all your kindness and support on these pages- you're a special lady who deserves your happy ending soon. Look after yourself.

Just catching up on this thread (and looking out for bfps 😊)

@purplefig - hugest congratulations- I've screengrabbed the recipe for your smoothies!!

@MrsEG - you're right there's plenty of time to make a decision if we wait till the end of next year to get married! (And a possible mini page boy/ flower girl 😍😍😍). So happy you got the appointment you needed too - your new doc sounds great. Take care of yourself whilst you take a break from here.

@starkid I feel like the only time I'd be 💯 happy in a body con dress is if there was a big bump to show off!

@FlapJackered I love the idea of a post wedding celebration! Milk this wedding! 😂 Also that pic of all your Frer's!!

@LokiCat yeah I think we'll carry on for now - I totally agree that it could be bloody ages trying. Fingers crossed for you that you get a bfp soon!

@Leodot thank you!!

@Lottiepink in my ideal world I think I'd have a baby first then a pregnancy free wedding but we'll see! I really need to up my exercise again - I've basically spent a week eating pizza in NY!

@ImMeantToBeWorking huge congratulations 🎉 so awesome!

@Daisydoodles92 sorry to hear about your loss. 💜

@careergirl86 welcome!

Sorry for long post!! My last day in New York. Hoping to do a test later maybe before I leave (or when I land in london!) not entirely sure how many dpo I am but I reckon about 12. Been so fatigued out here, I actually fell asleep in a comedy club - so embarrassing! Though could just be the jet lag! Fingers crossed for everyone on here - it really does make me so happy to see positive tests being posted.

@Larrydavid - so jealous! NYC is my favourite place :)
Good luck if you’re testing; nearly 1DPO for me, so the TWW begins again...

@MrsEG totally understand where you are coming from, take as much time as you need and we’ll all be here when you feel ready to come back ❤️

@LarryDavid hope you have had an amazing time in NYC! Good luck for testing!

@Daisydoodles92 - yep, was definitely lurking 😂

Thanks for the welcomes guys. I have to force myself to wait until next Saturday to test so it’s going to be a long week.

It’s seems a lot of you have been trying for quite some time so that’s really helped me set my expectations. For those that have experienced the losses I really do look forward to hearing about your BFP. It will happen!

I did my first FRER today and got literally the faintest line so have been frantically googling evap lines. Will test again but any second opinions hugely welcome.

@Larrydavid that looks like an early BFP to me!

For comparison, here's a bfn. (Still too early for me to test for real, was just making sure my trigger shot was out of my system.)

Thanks so much lovely ladies. I ended up having a very bad panic attack yesterday and had to go to hospital. I could feel it building but still not entirely sure what triggered it, but it ended up happening in the middle of Sainsburys (the shame). I’m resting today and have a referral to an early pregnancy loss counselling specialist who works alongside the RCM service at the hospital.

Will keep away for the next month until I have my blood results and then check back in with everyone again, hopefully to be trying again - wishing for two pink lines for you all ♥️

@ValidUser that's what I thought! Thank you for sending me a comparison. When are you testing for bfp? I'm not really sure how long my cycles are as they've not been regular since my coil was removed. So this could be a couple of days earlier in my cycle than I originally thought. I'm not getting my hopes up yet - will do another test later or tomorrow morning.

@MrsEG panic attacks are the worst. If you do need a friendly username my inbox is open! X

@Larrydavid congratulations are in order, I believe! I'll start testing properly from tomorrow, but that's only about 9-10 dpo, so won't expect anything until Wednesday. X

@Larrydavid that is definitely a BFP! Congratulations 🙌🎉
@MrsEG I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Take some time out and look after yourself ❤

Quick question v for you @ValidUser - I think you mentioned a few pages (threads?) back that you had issues with appendix internal scarring, is that right? Do you mind me asking if you had other surgeries as well to cause the scarring? Apologies if you have been through this already and I missed it! I had my appendix out and always wondered if it could have an effect, most things on the internet say it probably wouldn't affect TTC, I'm just always curious about the 'probably'!

I'm in my fertile week now.... I think someone else also mentioned a few threads back that they find it quite stressful, which I have started to understand - I do now worry about DTD at the right time, missing the most fertile days, or attempt the DTD 'flip' and then have spillage so it would feel wasted.

Personal q for you ladies (pretty sure we are all past personal q the things we discuss here!) - does everyone always have an orgasm every time during fertile week?? I know it increases pregnancy rates (by 10%?) but sometimes I really can't be bothered, especially when we're trying to do it a couple of days in a row... so I wondered how much you ladies bother? Of course maybe it happens all the time easily for you, in which case I applaud you, lucky things :)

Just when I start to feel brighter in myself after the MC a friend at work suddenly passes away (32 with a 5 month old) and one of my best friends who is 6 months pregnant has just called us to say they have lost baby. How cruel can life get

@MrsH497 - I’m so, so sorry. That is all absolutely horrendous.
I really hope you’re as ‘ok’ as you can be x
