Our other thread is getting quite long and I know they stop at 1,000 comments so thought I’d make a new one for us .
I am so sorry if I’ve missed anyone , just going by usernames I remember off the top of my head !
I’m currently 5 weeks pregnant (miscalculated and thought I was only 4+3). Going for an 8 week scan (I’ll be almost 9 weeks) on 25th Jan.
but I am really enjoying joining you on your journeys on TTC and you’ve all been amazing so I didn’t want to just say goodbye to the thread .
Please come on in if you’re new here , and join everyone on their journeys . I feel like we’ve been chatting forever but it’s only been a couple of months. What a roller coaster it’s been!

Anyway, as we were!

I'm so happy to see so many BFP here! Congratulations to you all.
I'm on my 3rd cycle of trying now. CD11 and according to the ov tests I've peaked already, dont usually ov until CD15-17 but last month I dont think I Oved at all.
Fingers crossed this is my month.
Hope u all had a nice new year.

@itsemily I really hope so. Feel quite down about my cycles being irregular but also don’t want to get too worked up about it cos that’s no good for conception!

CurbsideProphet · 02/01/2020 16:49

@bubblyboo900 @LeaBri @itsemily
it's not good news I'm afraid. I've been bleeding and have painful cramps today, so I expect that's it now.
DH came home from work to keep me company, so at least I've not been on my own. I'm quite down and had to tell work because I just couldn't do anything.
This was only our 2nd cycle of trying. Hopefully there will soon be a next time. I don't think I would test until I'm several days late, as it's been harder for me seeing that good line.

Onwards for next month I hope now Flowers

@curbside I’m so sorry, I’ve been thinking of you . I think that’s what a girl on our old thread said, Leah I think, said don’t test until AF is due or a week late as it’s heart breaking . I know it’s hard as you want it so bad but it makes it much harder seeing that line and then this happening . Sending you so many hugs and I’m glad your husband is with you that’s good of him. Rest and take it easy, go into your next cycle with a relaxed mind xx

@CurbsideProphet im so so sorry ♥️ we are all here for you to come chat when you feel like it. Look after yourself and get some rest xx

MGee123 · 02/01/2020 17:55

So sorry @CurbsideProphet 😢 it must be such a rollercoaster of emotions for you. Glad you've got some company. Thinking of you this evening.

bubblyboo900 · 02/01/2020 19:06

Sorry to hear this @CurbsideProphet. Glad DH came home to keep you company. Make sure you let him look after you xx

LeaBri · 02/01/2020 19:28

@CurbsideProphet I’m so sorry lovely, make sure you rest and take care of yourself. I know it’s so hard but there is a silver lining that you know you can conceive and it will happen for you again. Lots of hugs xxx

CurbsideProphet · 02/01/2020 19:56

Thank you all Flowers
Even though we both knew it was very early, you can't help but make plans.
Poor DH is feeling sad and helpless seeing me in pain. We have tried to remind each other that we now know I can get pregnant, which is something at least.

We're not telling family, as I don't want to have to comfort them or have them say things like "it wasn't meant to be". I've spoken to one friend who is a HCP and DH is going to speak to one friend.

We'll pick ourselves up after this and be back to it next cycle.

I'm very glad for mumsnet Smile

Cheyanne101 · 02/01/2020 20:04

@CurbsideProphet extactly it happened really fast so it proves it is possible. Its still so hard and heartbreaking but you will come out the otherside of it with time ♥️ xo

Hannahb26 · 02/01/2020 20:22

Sending all the love to you @CurbsideProphet ❤️

Maddy0405 · 02/01/2020 20:36

Thinking of you @CurbsideProphet and sending you so much love. Take it easy and take time for you and your husband 😘 xxx

CurbsideProphet · 02/01/2020 21:48

I'm still thrilled to see all of your good news and BFPs by the way Smile Hopefully lots more as 2020 progresses Smile

notalwaysalondoner · 02/01/2020 22:17

Sorry to hear that @curbsideprophet. Thinking of you and your DH.

hopefulhel · 04/01/2020 00:40

@CurbsideProphet so sorry to hear that. Hope you're keeping ok and looking after yourself

CurbsideProphet · 04/01/2020 16:59

Thank you all Smile

I feel a bit better today. I went to an appointment this morning and blurted it out to the beauty therapist. I've only been to her a few times. I'm glad I did though, because she told me that she had a miscarriage (later on than my chemical pregnancy) but then went on to have a healthy and uncomplicated pregnancy. That has given me a lot of hope Smile

MGee123 · 04/01/2020 17:10

Glad you're feeling a bit better @CurbsideProphet . Sometimes it's really helpful to talk to someone totally removed from the situation! I'm sure she didn't mind. Hope you had a nice time at the salon, a bit of pampering can make you feel much better 😊

How is everyone else doing? I'm in the weird waiting phase for my fertile period. I actually think I find this worse than the TWW - I think I prefer the slight optimism during the TWW that things might have worked this month. I find waiting for ovulation rather tedious!

I was thinking of ditching the OPKs this month (as I have never had any positive ones) but have decided to persevere as I would like to try and find out if I am actually ovulating. I started them very early this month (today - CD 7) and plan to continue them until CD 24 or so, in case I am ovulating later than average. We are going to DTD every other day throughout this cycle as well, due to the unpredictability of ovulation. Can't do any harm! I have quite an organised, pragmatic approach to life so think this organised approach to TTC will suit me! I'm feeling more positive after my first more regular cycle last month. Fingers crossed we're on the right track.

Maddy0405 · 04/01/2020 19:00

@CurbsideProphet Glad you’re feeling slightly better. Have been thinking of you. I’m sure the beauty therapist didn’t mind and I’m glad she had a positive story to tell you. Take one day at a time 💕

@MGee123 I’m just about to finish my period and me and my husband have quite a lot of time off together over the next few weeks. We go away on holiday for three weeks on 18th as well so will just try and have regular sex every other day.

I have no idea what my cycle is doing though as my cycles have been long and have now become irregular. I went to the GP today who has sent me for bloods and requested a scan. Three of my friends have announced they’re pregnant in the last few weeks. I was feeling at ease with everything and had kind of taken a step back from it thinking it’ll happen when it happens but I’m feeling really pants about it again... probably because I don’t know what my cycle is doing. I know that regular sex is the best thing I can do so I will do that but I’ve just kind of lost faith in my body a bit... sorry for such a ramble.

CurbsideProphet · 04/01/2020 22:44

@MGee123 I went to get my face threaded Blush curse of being pale and brunette Blush

@Maddy0405 oh it must be so difficult to hear those pregnancy announcements. There's always a tricky line between feeling happy for other people, but also sad for ourselves that we don't have that yet. I hope you're ok.
I have quite a few friends who don't want children, so I'm unlikely to be taken unawares by unexpected announcements at the moment. Which I'm very grateful for. I think it's completely understandable to feel that wobble of "why isn't my body doing what it's supposed to".

I've stopped bleeding now, which brings some relief as on Thursday I cried every time I went to the loo. However it also makes me sad that it's definitely gone. I've still got some pain and my digestion has been affected. I'm not sure what's normal really. I'm trying to avoid Dr Google now, so I might try calling my real life GP on Monday.

xoJellyBean · 05/01/2020 14:13

Happy New Year guys!! Been a while since I was on here but I am getting the feeling there's been a few BFPs?! 😍

Maddy0405 · 05/01/2020 14:38

@CurbsideProphet I feel really bad moaning after the week you’ve had 😩 I do feel really happy for my friends but you can’t help but feel a bit sad. I’m ok. Had a bit of a cry to my husband last night and he was lovely. I’m feeling better today.

Yeah go and see your GP tomorrow, that sounds sensible. Definitely don’t google it’ll just fill you with anxiety I’m sure!! I will keep you in my thoughts 😘

CurbsideProphet · 05/01/2020 15:28

@Maddy0405 please don't feel like you can't say you feel sad. It's bloody hard when you want to have a baby and you're ready to start that chapter, but there's no way of knowing when your body will play ball!
