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

Sorry for triple post - temp spiked again this morning (was in a rush to get to work so didn't test). I don't feel pregnant at all like I didn't last time, so no idea what's happening.

Ohh @MrsEG I'm gonna say congratulations! So typical the month you weren't trying 🤦‍♀️ don't panic though this could work out, especially with the help of that lovely consultant of yours. I'm sure you have read yourself but some women can have multiple MC and it's just bad luck they have nothing wrong with them. Have faith, I'll be thinking of you 🌈 xx

@MrsEG perhaps the fact this has happened when you weren't supposed to be trying is a good omen! I really really hope so for you! Fingers crossed this one sticks for you 😊

@LokiCat looking at your graph and info I would say you ovulated on cd17 and temp spoke to confirm it next day? Is it not registering that for you?

@MrsEG, I didn't want to say, but did have a feeling reading through the thread the last few days... I'm sure your consultant will not be mad and she will be on hand to see you through this. And will your dh, family, friends and us! I'm keeping absolutely everything crossed this is you surprise sticky bean xxxx

@MrsEG congratulations! Fingers crossed for you, such happy news!!!

@MrsEG omg lovely!!! I know you're scared but this could be 🌈 birthday sex is always good!! Let us know how you get on xx

@MrsEG fingers crossed for you!

I’ve had the most horrendous weekend. This is my first cycle was I wasn’t really sure what to expect or how I would react. I had brown spotting on 7 and 8dpo, which I was hoping was implantation. But I think AF arrived on 9dpo. She only lasted 2 days instead of my usual 5 and there was giant clots (sorry TMI). I thought I was fine but then I completely broke down to my DH. I was inconsolable. I’m feeling a bit better now and will just try again next month.

My question to you lovely ladies is, does this sound like implantation bleeding which then didn’t stick? Is that a CP?

I keep thinking I caused it not to happen. I accidentally ate a bit of goats cheese, I ran for the tram then felt a sharp pain and I had a panic attack. So I’m blaming myself.

Sorry for the long message.

@MrsEG echoing what everyone else says, this could be the one that stays. But I know it's an incredibly nerve wracking anxious time for you, and we're all here for support / hand holding / a laugh...whatever you need. I'm so so sooo glad you have your new consultant. Let us know how you get on. Huge great big hugs internet stranger I care deeply about! Xxx

Couldn't agree more @purplefig with the huge hugs for internet stranger I care about!

@MrsEG you give me hope with this whole MC situation you're amazing you really are xx

@MrsEG she won't be mad - she'll know exactly what advice to give. I really hope this is it for you! Keeping absolutely everything crossed!

@Lozzlepop keep at it! 💪🏼 I just looked back at my app from last month and we actually almost did smep apart from the last two dtd's! I had a CP so hopefully it's better luck this time.

@XjustagirlX I'm not sure - it could have been. The most important thing though is to remember that it isn't you. You didn't do anything to cause it. It's just your body doing what it needs to do.

@XjustagirlX Hi lovely, if you had spotting 2 days before AF arrived that is highly unlikely to be implantation bleeding, or a CP. To me it reads like you have just had AF early this month - TTC can mess around with your cycles sometimes. So please don’t beat yourself up at all, firstly eating a bit of cheese very early would do nothing at all, and also many many women run during pregnancy. Don’t let it upset you - just head in to your next cycle feeling positive xx

@Larrydavid @MrsH497 @purplefig @LindyMoe @Fivebyfive2 @Lottiepink @Daisydoodles92 @LokiCat Thanks so much ladies you are all so totally lovely. I’ve called the clinic and my consultant is at the hospital today but they have sent her a message and she will call me later on today. Just trying to keep calm and know what will be will be. I cannot focus on work at all and I have so much to do!! Xx

@MrsEG totally 10000% understandable. Are you WFH? If so,
could you try the pomdoro (sp?!) technique - where you work in intense but short bursts with a break time? I find that useful when I'm spiralling.

@purplefig Sadly not, although if she calls and asks me to go and see her for whatever reason I am out of here haha! I’ve a busy office day tomorrow too but may then try and WFH for the rest of the week. I actually love that way of working - I like to have ‘power hours’ and then reward myself with a solid 30 min break. My head is just mush!

@LokiCat glad to hear you had a fun road trip ☺️ how many DPO are you?

@MrsEG hopefully she calls you soon, I can imagine exactly how you are feeling, just try and relax as much as possible and focus on some work and hopefully your day will pass nice and quickly.

Hi @purplefig how are you doing?

@Larrydavid thanks, aiming to DTD tonight and hoping for the +OPK soon, currently CD14 🤞🏻

@MrsEG oh wow, this sounds so exciting and promising. Of course you're frightened and overwhelmed as you had mentally blocked out the possibility so it's gonna take some time to get your head around it. I truly hope this is the sticky one for you, you have been through so much and have been a wondeful support too for so many women on here.
I hope you get the call back soon for some reassurance and advice 💜

Thanks girls - also while I am thinking of it, this month I used a different multi-Vit after reading up online about the difference between folic acid and methyfolate. Anyways just done another order and got a referral link that gives any new shoppers £10 off - so if anyone needs a restock of any supps have a look: cytoplan.mention-me.com/me/referee/registerko/33397289/137097320/em/9fc5eff5a9b0dab9aa4da958896cdca41dc57727/ol/cw?epr=1

(That looks like a very long link - here’s hoping it works!)

@MrsEG ohhh work always intensifies at the worst times doesn't it?! I like the plan of WFH from wed onward. And deffo get straight out of their if your woman crush calls.

@Lozzlepop hello lovely, I'm good thanks - 6 weeks tomorrow! Still doesn't feel real. Keep having to remind myself I've had no period and suddenly giant boobs. Fingers crossed you get a positive OPK soon, do yours build up or come out of nowhere?

*there 🙄 (hadn't had a coffee yet...)

@MrsEG So so glad your consultant is on hand and you can speak with them today for some advice and reassurance. We're all rooting for you xx talking of the vitamin change, how have you found the switch to the folate, have you noticed any differences to the folic acid?

@XjustagirlX I've had similar clotting mid cycle this month, you're not alone. I can't give much info on it I'm afraid, im just trying to relax & console myself with the thought that our bodies know what they're doing and are hopefully just self regulating and getting ready for the time when she's needed to be firing on all cylinders. Definitely not my fault or your fault or anything we did or didn't do. Positive thinking x

@MrsEG is the methyfolate better?

@purplefig wow thats really flown in! Hehehe, i'm sure DH doesn't mind the giant boobs! No it just comes from nowhere, hoping for a + on CD16

@Lozzlepop hmm he may well, but I'm mainly operating a look but don't touch policy 😂. ahhh it's helpful when they fade in, but as long as you're testing daily you should catch it. I'll keep my fingers crossed it's soon!

Sorry I've been MIA again, always seem to do that when AF arrives for me...

I saw @MrsEG p deserves a big congratulations!! :)

Did I miss any other BFP's?

@Lozzlepop - so glad everything is going well with you, giant boobs and all haha
