@Missgoldilocks @Gems7 I know! When I see really overweight women or women who take drugs conceiving its like ugggh why is my body not doing that haha

@missgoldilocks if it was implantation the test might not be positive till tomorrow but might show today! Fingers crossed lovely xx

Missgoldilocks · 30/05/2020 11:39

@anny27 @Laur89 😭 I'm scared I really want to be pregnant... 🙏 But I think it's too good to be true. I'll only do a test tomorrow if it doesn't come 😬 xx

Gems7 · 30/05/2020 11:44

@Missgoldilocks Honestly, I would probably just do a test you know. When I did mine I genuinely thought it would be negative, felt exactly like AF was coming, bloated, cramps, irritated and snappy, just did it for the sake of it really.
If it's negative it's negative, you will deal with it and get ready for next cycle and at least you won't be wondering constantly throughout the day, don't put yourself through that.

I did one earlier, it was a faint positive line, the hormones must be dropping now because it was a strong line on Monday xx

Gems7 · 30/05/2020 11:49

@Missgoldilocks how many DPO are you? I was 13dpo when I did a rapid response test, not even an early one.
@Annny27 how long after taking/using the thrush stuff did you start to feel better down there? I took the capsule on thurs evening and have been using the cream but it's still not right yet.. 😣 xx

Annny27 · 30/05/2020 23:24

cd11 and had lots of ewcm today, opks still negative so many a few days away!

@Missgoldilocks let us know tomorrow if AF doesn't arrive. Keeping everything crossed for you!!!!

@Gems7 ummm it was probably a few days before I started feeling better although it came back a month later so obviously didn't fully go. I think the antibiotics after miscarriage are fairly strong so cause quite a bit of bacteria upset down there annoyingly!!

PrettyTulip · 31/05/2020 07:40

@Missgoldilocks did you do a test? 👀 xxx

Missgoldilocks · 31/05/2020 09:52

@PrettyTulip @Gems7 @anny27 I haven't tested, I can't because it hurts more than af coming if it's a bfn. I'm waiting for af to come I think it will it always does in the morning so I'll keep you updated x

Missgoldilocks · 31/05/2020 15:12

False alarm af is here

Gems7 · 31/05/2020 15:26

@Missgoldilocks 😞 sorry xx

Annny27 · 31/05/2020 15:36

Sorry she has arrived:( @Missgoldilocks its always such a defĺating feeling!! Enjoy the sunshine with a gin or something similar xxxx

Cd12 still loads of ewcm but negative opks still.

Missgoldilocks · 31/05/2020 21:59

Thanks girls. I think I'm at the point now where I need to just think it's never gonna happen tbh otherwise I'll lose my mind. I'm going to really try and not focus on it I definitely know I'm not going to have loads of sex like we did last month because it's way too much pressure I'll just keep it to twice maximum day before and day of ovulation. Good luck @anny27 and I hope you're healing okay @Gems7 xx

Gems7 · 31/05/2020 22:05

@Missgoldilocks Thanks huni, still a bit sore down there, but I'm getting there, back to work tomorrow so just watching a film in bed and browsing on my phone until I fall asleep.
It's hard not to obsess every month but I think less stress is vital for your mental health, you have to look after yourself. It is going to happen for you, it's just like everyone says it's going to happen at a random moment when you're really not expecting it 😘 xx

Missgoldilocks · 01/06/2020 10:40

@Gems7 thanks hope your day today isn't too stressful xx
I rang my doctor today to get a referral for my tubes to be checked but I have to wait till 14th January! That's the next available appointment oh my god I would have been trying 17 months by then lol anyway if we don't fall in another 3 months or so then I'll pay to have my tubes checked, I just need to. Make sure my tubes are OK xx

Annny27 · 01/06/2020 13:55

@Missgoldilocks omg January!! Thats insane

Yeah deffo if you can afford it then go private in a few months. I am still waiting for the fertility clinic to receive my referral.

Had a pretty strong (not quite peak) opk today at cd13 so probably get peak tomorrow 🙌

@Gems7 good luck for your first day back in work. Glad things are feeling a bit better physically

Annny27 · 03/06/2020 10:00

Morning girls :) had a few days of peak and now its a high reading so I have ovulated today (cd15) pretty sure!

How are you all getting on?

Gems7 · 03/06/2020 12:13

@Annny27 eeekkk ovulation day 🙏🏻🙌🏻😬🤞🏻
How many months has it been since your miscarriage now?

I'm okay, back at work, back to normal, hope AF arrives soon and I don't have to wait weeks and weeks for it! I want to try again as soon as possible. I've ordered a load of OPK's from amazon so I'm ready.
Still struggling "down there" with thrush like symptoms, I haven't called the gp back about it though I'll give it a few more days I think.

Hope all you girls are okay xx

Annny27 · 03/06/2020 12:16

@Gems7 this is the 6th month of trying since the miscarriage! Its actually my due date today so its hard to think I would have had my baby by now!

It took us 4 months to conceive the first time and now onto month 6! Think my hormones were a bit messed up after miscarriage

Fingers crossed you get AF soon! It will be good to get back into ttc

Gems7 · 03/06/2020 12:24

@Annny27 Big hugs for today then, it must be hard 😞 all I hear is how super fertile you are after a miscarriage but it's really not the case for everyone is it, your body will just get pregnant in its own time. I don't think I am going to fall quickly either, I have a gut feeling that it's going to be a struggle like last time.
I can't wait to just feel "normal" physically and then we can get trying again xxx

Annny27 · 03/06/2020 14:02

@Gems7 I think if your miscarriage is before 6 weeks and natural then I have seen lots of people conceive fairly quickly but as our lining was taken away in the surgery I think it takes a few months to build back up (that's what my doctor said anyway) and I noticed my first 3 periods were lighter! So obviously had not enough lining the few few cycles

Thanks lovely 💗💗 yeah I can't wait for my ttc journey to be over haha

Gems7 · 03/06/2020 14:16

@Annny27 yeah the lining thing will be accurate won't it, I didn't know they took lining away in the d&c.. assumed it was some sort of suction like the MVA.. when I ended up in hospital having the surgery I refused to read the leaflet and google the procedure, I was so traumatised after the MVA and had no choice but to have the surgery anyway.
I only wish the tissue would have come away naturally 😢
Really really hope this is a positive month for you, you deserve it so much, keep us posted 💓 xx

Annny27 · 03/06/2020 16:21

@Gems7 thanks lovely! We all deserve it on this thread, we are lucky to have found each other!

And yeah during the procedure they lightly scrape the uterus lining (sounds gross) but often the lining is then too thin for a cycle or two but mines back to normal heaviness of periods now :)

Gems7 · 03/06/2020 20:46

@Annny27 we are lucky to have found each other! I hope in 12 months from now when every one of us WILL either be pregnant or have babies we still chat. That will be nice ☺️
Just got back from a walk by myself, I feel fab now, headphones in, switched off from the world for a bit, total relaxation.
Really hope my cycle isn't messed up for ages! 🤞🏻 xxx

Annny27 · 04/06/2020 09:18

yes we all WILL be pregnant one day hopefully soon💪 I think my period started 41 days after the surgery

1dpo for me now so in the tww!

@Missgoldilocks how are you doing?

@PrettyTulip did AF arrive?

PrettyTulip · 04/06/2020 09:19

Morning lovely @Annny27
I think it's coming, no symptoms but a little pink when I've wiped x

Annny27 · 04/06/2020 09:21

@Gems7 forgot to tag you in my last message ^^

@PrettyTulip ooh exciting - feels weird to be hoping you have a period but I know you need your cycle to restart properly :D
