@Anny27 28 days. Must have randomly ovulated a bit earlier.

@cocobell19
It's not silly at all. I ve not been on hormonal contraception for years so thought it d just happen without much thought.

Hi ladies

I just wanted to quickly pop on and let you know we didn’t get good news at the scan today, unfortunately there was no heartbeat so we have decided to take a break and wait for our referral and see what answers the tests throw up- maybe this just isn’t to be for us. I can’t tell you how glad I will be to see the back of 2019. Hope everyone has some nice plans for NYE xx

Thanks all! I know, I was hormonal contraception for around 10 years and just sort of assumed that as soon as I stopped taking it I would be pregnant! Naive or what lol. I am using the Ovia app to help me track my cycles, currently 4th cycle and in the fertile period at the moment so the dreaded two week wait is just around the corner!

@Lozzlepop so sorry to hear your news. Hopefully 2020 will be much better for you xx

@lozzlepop my heart breaks for you 💔, so sorry to hear this. Please look after yourself. We are all here to listen if you need to talk, this thread has such a great bunch of ladies! Here’s to 2020, I hope it brings all of us some luck ☘️

@cocobell19 thank you so much lovely! A big welcome to the thread the ladies here are just the most lovely and supportive bunch ☺️

@lozzlepop I was just thinking about you today actually! I am so so sorry for your loss :( 2019 has been the absolute cruelest year for you 💓💓💓💓💓

do the EPU have to rescan before they can offer treatment or is the baby over the size threshold where they can offer treatment right away?

@whatsthecraic91 thank you hun! I know roll on 2020!

@Anny27 thank you! It really has been the worst year 💔 I should be 8wks 1 day but baby measuring at 6 weeks 1 day. I think I’m going to wait and see if things happen naturally this time- I took such a horrible reaction to the medicates which DP told the nurse so not even sure that would be an option now.

@lozzlepop very similar to my dates 💓 even after 3 weeks of be knowing nothing happened naturally which was frustrating! If you want to DM me about the surgical procedure then feel free - in hindsight, despite my medical anxiety, it wasnt a bad option!

@Anny27 thanks so much hun ❤️ I’m hoping by knowing things might kick start over the next few days 🤞🏻

@whatsthecraic91 thanks hun. Oh that will be good timing I'm sure they will give you day 1 and 21 blood tests as a first step. I temp before and after Ov to confirm Ov then stop as it's just adds to my stress and disappointment if you get a dip late in tww. plus I don't want to have to wake up early at weekends to do it. It's definitely a valuable tool though and I would 100% recommend temping.

@Lozzlepop I'm so sorry and sad to hear this. Thinking of you

@Lozzlepop no worries, we are here if you want to rant or moan. The miscarriage/ pregnancy loss boards really help me as well, I have a read of them/post on there from time to time xxx

@whatsthecraic91 I temp and use femometer :) really helps me to know that I have definitley ovulated and means I 100% know when period is due :)

@orangeloo omg I should totally stop temping after ovulation as it stresses me out and I get bad sleep waiting to see if its dropped or remaind high!

@cocobell19 i thought it would happen straight away for us too! We conceived in 3 months but sadly miscarried so this is my first cycle ttc after miscarriage :)

@Lozzlepop so sad to read about your loss. Sending lots of internet hugs ❤️

@Anny27 @orangeloo great you’ll be my go to people now if I have questions 😂 I don’t like the app so far it’s quite complicated but I’m sure I’ll get used to it! II’ll just have to limit my fluid intake before bed as I get up for a pee nearly every night but it’s usually early on so hopefully it won’t affect it too much!

@whatsthecraic91 you'll get used to the app I'm sure, my brain has taken on so much info since ttc haha.

Yes maybe drop temping all month for a month then @Anny27 and see if it helps you stress less.

@whatsthecraic91 I usually try and take my temps between 6-7 and make sure that I have been asleep for atleast 3 hours before taking them and they seem pretty accurate :)

@orangeloo definitley will try it :D

@Larrydavid hope you and baby are doing well ❤

@Lozzlepop thinking of you today ❤

So sorry @Lozzlepop how are you doing today?

@Anny27 my thermometer arrived today it looks so fancy 😂 was tempted to try it but DP told me to wait to the morning and to do it right!

@Lozzlepop hope you’re okay x

Happy new year everyone!! I’m hoping it brings us all luck and baby dust!! Chilling tonight with DP, we are going to play monopoly, drink bubbles and watch the fireworks! Likely be in bed for 12.01 😂 have a great night everyone xx

Just wanted to pop on and wish you all a very happy new year when it comes 🥳 you are all the most amazing bunch of ladies and I’m so thankful to have found this thread!

Thanks to everyone for their kind words I truly hope this is something you don’t have to experience but please know I am here if you need to chat anything through! I am feeling ok, glad to see the back of 2019 that’s for sure! Managed to sort out our referral again and get an appointment booked in for January so really pleased with that! I hope everyone has a great night and that 2020 brings good news for us all ❤️❤️

Happy new year everyone. I hope we all get our bfp's / baby's in 2020.

Ah thanks @Lozzlepop very sweet . I'm glad you're feeling ok as can be expected and you have your referral. Hopefully it gets you some answers.

Off out for a walk and pub lunch with some friends they have two kids and another one due in feb between them. Not sure why I arranged this now, haha and I know the dreaded question of 'when us two?' will come. Inclined to just be honest ish now and say we are working on it. Hope you all have a fab New Year's Day.

Hi all, just thought I'd pop in whilst abroad and I'm so so sorry to hear of your loss @Lozzlepop, you and your partner have had such a tragic TTC journey and I was really hoping in my heart that this was your time. Even harder to receive this news at this time of year, sending you love and take each day as it comes 💜

How did you get on using your thermometer this morning @whatsthecraic91 ? :D

@Lozzlepop certainly hoping that 2020 is a kinder year for you lovely ❤

@orangeloo I think I am going to be honest going forward. People need to know not to be awkward and ask those questions haha.

@kiza hope you are enjoying SA xx

Cycle day 7 today so might be ovulating in a week or so, not sure what cycles will be like after miscarriage so will keep tracking and looking out for signs

@Anny27 well it took about 3 minutes but it did say the first measurement can take that long so hopefully not as long in the morning! Surprisingly easy too, just put it back on the side until I was ready to get up, the bluetooth feature is great! Very convenient!

Starting my exercise tomorrow after work! Going to try running to the end of our road and back 😅 wonder how long I’ll keep this up for 😂

@Anny27 @orangeloo the temping experts! I have questions! My temperature was 0.2 degrees lower this morning, does that matter? Also I was quite restless but never once got out of bed or was fully awake just snoozing a while. Would that affect it? I took it at the exact same time as I have an alarm set to do it.
