Looks like I'm off the BFP list. Started bleeding last night and it's continuing this morning with clots and cramping. On a tiny positive it looks like it's taking care of itself this time, rather than having to go through waiting and not knowing either way with previous missed miscarriages.

@Loladoodle that would piss me off too, especially as you discussed it. My husband would definitely do that. He wouldn't realise or think anything of it though. I think we're completely rational and they're the crazy ones!

lucieloos · 20/06/2020 10:07

Oh @kwastell I'm so sorry lovely x

FridaKFangirl · 20/06/2020 10:47

So sorry @kwastell, be kind to yourself. x

@kwastell I’m sorry my love! Life can be so shit! Sorry to hear this and take the positives - you can get pregnant naturally and as you say you don’t have to suffer with a late mc!

I’m still waiting for AF - CD37 and no signs of the witch coming at all! :-(

lastditchattempt20 · 20/06/2020 22:56

@kwastell so sorry you're going through this, life is so unfair. I hope you're able to take some time to look after yourself. Thanks

Ready2020 · 21/06/2020 00:07

Hello (tentative hello!)

This is my first mumsnet post so hello everyone. I'm 36 and TTC (getting there with the acronyms) with 41 year old partner. We've been trying for 3 months only, though after a life time of being told you'll get pregnant if you're not careful I presumed it would happen instantly. I'm a bit over weight so I'm worried I'm not doing myself any favours.

Anyway, nice to hear from similar ladies. I'll keep reading all the updates.

LT103 · 21/06/2020 08:20

@Ready2020 welcome!!! I only joined here a week or so ago and everyone has been so lovely and helpful. It’s a great place!! Good luck with your ttc journey. This is my 3rd cycle trying too 🤞

FridaKFangirl · 21/06/2020 08:23

Welcome @Ready2020! You’ll find everyone is a supportive bunch here, us ‘golden ovaries’!

Morning all, how is everyone! @Chlo2701@M4v3r1ck... I seem to consistently a day or 2 behind you... CD27 and looks like AF may be on her way. I don’t feel ‘period-y’ at all but (TMI Warning) there’s just a tinge of brown when I wipe... bah! Sad

At least this may mean my cycle is kicking back in, it’ll be my first natural AF since I was 17!

FridaKFangirl · 21/06/2020 08:24

@M4v3r1ck managed to not tag you properly in the above! ^

ChicaXS · 21/06/2020 08:44

Welcome @Ready2020 you joined a great group!

How is everyone doing? I’m losing it as I’m on CD38 and still no sign of AF! Started to piss me off now as I want to begin treatment 😔

On a lighter note is next weeks weather looks amazing so will plan some nice 122 time with DH. Also starting my keto and workout diet!!!

lastditchattempt20 · 21/06/2020 08:59

Morning all- and welcome to @Ready2020 this is a great group, enough posts to keep the chat going but no so many that you're lost within an hour! 😁
I'm now in TWW (or less as AF was early last month). About 3-4DPO and madly symptom spotting. Itchy nipples anyone? 😂 also mood seems better which hopefully means body is more sorted with progesterone production. Actually feeling quite calm this cycle, so far.... hoping to get to next weekend without testing. 🙈🤞🏻
I'm a 'legs up against wall' after DTD person- but i don't know how much is scientific. I did read an old theory that drs had wondered if the female orgasm was designed to keep us more chill and thus stay laid down after sex to increase chance of success! 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ DH usually falls asleep which doesn't bother me as get to catch up on MN!

selina37 · 21/06/2020 09:31

Morning all, and welcome newbies!

AF finished here so I'm drinking grapefruit juice every day to ovulation (apparently good for ewcm). And had my FSH test so waiting on the result of that. Got positive feelings for the month. 🤞🏻

Sleeeeeepy · 21/06/2020 09:50

Welcome @Ready2020 ! It's annoying isn't it, you're led to believe that just looking at a man will get you pregnant and then you start trying...

This is a great group full of strong and supportive women. I love the golden ovaries thing, it sounds like a glamorous award 🤣

LT103 · 21/06/2020 10:54

I love the golden ovaries 😂😂

I’m on cd9, checked opk sticks last couple days just out of interest. V faint line only. I’m assuming prob won’t see anything for a few more days. Had a chat to oh last week about properly trying this month as I don’t think we actually dtd at fertile period last 2 months. Last couple days he’s been wanting to twice a day plus 😳. Hoping don’t burn out before peak time haha
