If I've missed anyone sorry!

Morning ladies, Happy Wednesday- the weekend is in sight!

@Kiza are you doing SMEP this month? Theres just no point in commuting an hour to work to do the same back to collect the car to drive for 30 mins lol. Fingers crossed ☺️

@SunnyFlover Hmm I'm not really sure, any implantation bleeding i have had has either been a tiny tinge of pink or more like brown. Unless AF arrived early and was just really short/light but it doesn't sound like that at all.

@Lozzlepop bugger I meant I'm 3/4 DPO not Cd 🤦🏼‍♀️ so just finished our attempt at SMEP but couldn't complete the 3 days in a row.

@SunnyFlover hope you get to the bottom of what's going on. When something major has happened to me (a death in the family) AF was very late. I suppose it's a waiting game at this point?

@Kiza ahh that makes more sense, I was thinking isn't CD1 just day one of AF lol

Afternoon everyone :) feeling pretty down at the moment if i'm honest. I think at my scan on friday i just want the surgery done asap now as feel like i am in such a limbo period of waiting for miscarriage to happen but still feeling pregnant and having all the symptoms:(

@kiza will you wait till AF is due to test? I'm not a super early tester as i hate the "is it isnt it" tortue of line squinting haha. But i do usually test 12dpo ish

@Lozzlepop ah thats frustrating not being able to ttc but hopefully the tests theydo are productive!

@SunnyFlover fingers crossed you know either way soon! Its tortue waiting

@timswifey are you goingto use ovulation sticks or take it easy thr first month?

@Anny27 oh it's so bloody awful that we go through such difficult experiences on this journey, when are next in contact with the clinic to discuss the potential operation?
I'll try my hardest to wait until AF is due as I'm one of those where I'd rather see blood than a stark white line.

@Kiza ahh the dreaded TWW, I hope it goes quickly and brings good news for you lovely! I always found DTD in the days before to be successful so I wouldn't worry too much about the three days in a row!

@Anny27 I found the waiting the hardest bit, like you say you are in limbo with your body still behaving as if you are pregnant. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable, I chose the medication as I have a phobia of hospitals (silly I know and its not any better now 🙈) Yes i am hoping that the tests will give us answers, it is frustrating but we are trying to make the most of it, we have spent most of the year in limbo so we have booked a mini break and are chatting through redecorating etc plus everything we have been through has made us a stronger couple ❤️

@kiza i have an appointment on friday so luckily not too long to wait!

@Lozzlepop i am toying between the two not sure which option i would chose. What was involved in the medication option e.g. how long did the bleeding last?

Oh @Anny27 how awful. My sister had a similar situation this year and it was no walk in the park, physically or emotionally. Let's hope things move forward efficiently.

We'll take it easy this month as I'm freshly off the pill so it might be a while before my regular cycle returns - although it may not be too bad as I only went on the pill so as to avoid evil AF on my wedding day (August) or during the honeymoon (September).

@Anny27 I had to make an appointment to go in and take the medication, I had the type where you dissolve it under your tongue so had to wait roughly 30 mins while it dissolved before i was discharged and got sent home with painkillers. Things started to take effect properly about 3 hours later, the majority of the bleeding was over within about 12 hours however there was some lighter bleeding for a few days after. I then had to go back for a scan to make sure everything has passed successfully, which it had.

So ladies, patience did the thing... FRER test gave me positive this morning. Trying not to freak out... Can't wait to tell my partner.

Thank you all for the support ! Hope it will all be well and progressing... 🌻

Congratulations @sunnyflover :D

@Lozzlepop thanks for the info! Feel more informed now :)

@timswifey yep good plan to take it easy the first month :D hopefully as you havent been taking pill for too long it wont have too much of an affect!

Eeek @SunnyFlover how exciting!!!

@Lozzlepop that's lovely that it's brought you closer as a couple, as it can be such an emotional rollercoaster at times. Mini break sounds lovely 😊
@Anny27 hope all goes well for tomorrow
@timswifey congrats on the wedding and hope you had a lovely honeymoon too

@SunnyFlover congrats

@SunnyFlover congratulations!

@Anny27 I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow

@SunnyFlover congratulations!!!! How did you tell DP? Sending lots of love your way!

@Anny27 you are most welcome lovely! Thinking of you today, hope everything goes well whatever option you decide on ❤️

@Kiza this year has held a lot of low points for us, but if we can get through this we can get through anything!! I am really excited to go, then hopefully when we get back it should almost be appointment time!

Whats everyone upto this weekend? We are off out for lunch with the in-laws tomorrow so looking forward to that!! And Sunday is a day of Sofa shopping!! Hope everyone is well xx

@Lozzlepop over dinner, made a Ramen and got some fortune cookies ( tinkered with them before serving - inserted my own message...) . He was over the moon ... but we both still can't believe it to be honest ☺️🌻 Hope all goes well and it progresses nicely...🙏🏼

Wish the BFP to all here ❤️

Hi everyone, I'm TTC for the first time. Cycle #3. AF Is due 13th so I used a first response today (5 days before) it was a BFN. Do I wait a few days and test again or am I out this month? I need some reassurance as I'm feeling rather useless.

@Lozzlepop oooh that sounds like the mini break is really soon? A little get away is always great to refresh and have a positive distraction. Did you decide if you were going to phone or not for the appointment or hold out for the letter?

@SunnyFlover that's a pretty cool way to tell him 😄

@Anny27 how did it go today lovely?

I caved and stupidly took a test 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️😆 seriously why? I'm only 5-7 dpo so of course it was going to be negative. Been having twinges in my uterus and lower abdo which is not a usual symptom for me and I'm being super optimistic that all our exhausting bonking worked this month! 😅

@HolliePurple my BFP came up only 22/22DPO... ( 6 days post Af due date). Destress and wait patiently 🌻

@SunnyFlover thank you. That's given me some hope

Evening everyone :)

Had my appointment at the EPU and decided to go with the medical management (medication) which will probably happen on Monday or Tuesday- waiting for doctor to call me back to schedule!

@kiza ahh the excitement gets the best of us sometimes 😂 i remember one cycle i tested every day from 6dpo -14 (didn't twll hubby how much that cost in tests 😂)

@holliepurple when i got my bfp it was 2 days before my period and it was quite faint! Retest in a few days and hopefully its positive :)

@Lozzlepop ahh love sofa shopping!! I am getting myself a new phone as mine is restarting itself every 10 mins or so!!

@whatsthecraic91 where are you in your cycle atm?

@SunnyFlover what an amazing announcement 😍 wishing you a very happy and healthy 9 months!

@HolliePurple welcome 😁 wait another day or so and test using FMU and with a FRER! 🤞🏻

@Kiza I have the last week of November off and we are away Tuesday to Thursday so really looking forward to it, like you say a nice little distraction ☺️ I am going to wait and call either Monday or Tuesday- just depends when I can call at work and by that point we will be approaching the 10 week wait point so feel it’s reasonable.

@Anny27 Fingers crossed they can get you in Monday and get the process started, have you taken some time off work? Get some lucozade or sweet sugary drinks to keep your energy levels up and ask the hospital for painkillers. Oooh nice what are you going for? I need a new phone but refuse to pay the crazy contract prices 😂

@Anny27 hopefully the doctor calls you back soon and you can prepare for Monday are you off work a couple of days? Currently on CD 6 so gearing up to start the marathon DTD session as I don’t usually ovulate until CD17 😅

@SunnyFlover love your announcement! Was he surprised?

@HolliePurple welcome! It’s maybe just too early wait a few more days then test again!

@Kiza been there!! Hopefully you were using ICs or it feels like such a waste of money 😂 don’t loose hope it’s just way too early!

DP and I are having date night tonight! First we have had since we moved into our new home as it’s been a bit hectic.

Happy Friday all!

@whatsthecraic91 @Anny27 yeah it was IC, currently cycle 14 so should know better. The last few months I've been really good and not caved and waited for AF arrive so don't know what took over me today!

Enjoy date night @whatsthecraic91 think DP is at the gym so catching up on the apprentice
@Anny27 hope it goes well for you on Monday/Tuesday, will you have someone with you at home? I had quite bad cramping when I had mine and glad I had the reassurance of not being alone.

Congratulations @SunnyFlover that's amazing news! And has given me hope . . .

Been thinking my nipples looks a bit different, breasts feel a bit different and I've been getting weird dizzy spells so did a test at 9dpo - BFN! AF due next Wednesday so will see what happens!

I know it's not got to symptom spot but honestly wasn't looking this month and just noticed these things and then dismissed them after getting BFN but now thinking hmmm, maybe just too early to tell!
