I'm CD11, waiting for something (anything) to happen this month 😂. Only taking my Inofolic Alpha this cycle and nothing else.

Hope I've tagged everyone xx

@scrambledeggy yes join our testing club 😁

@Firevie Have a safe flight and enjoy your trip!!! It's a real shame that you've had to leave on bad terms with DH - men can be such idiots 🤦🏽‍♀️. They get carried away being selfish and don't think of the bigger picture. I'm sure he will apologise and hopefully meet you over there soon xx

@Pugprincess Congratulations!!!! 🥳🥳💖💖 Fingers crossed for you that the nice line progression continues! Xx

@MichT4 I'm glad you are feeling a bit better this morning 😊 xx

I hope everyone has a lovely sunny Saturday!

@Pugprincess that is definitely line progression, congratulations. I really hope this one is a sticky one xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you, weirdly I still have w bit of a lull about me I think. I just feel a bit meh, if you know what I mean. I need to snap out of it.
how are you today? Any progression with the bleeding?

@MichT4 You know what, you're right, both the MC and my coming off the pill in the last 6 months could have messed stuff up! I said I wouldn't symptom spot, but in these boring times there's not much else to do to distract myself from work...

I'm testing next Thursday/Friday, same as @Firevie @Lollol86 and yourself, I'm so lucky to be in this exclusive club

@scrambledeggy one always says they won't symptom spot, but I find myself doing so every time. It's a rule of TTC I think, you have to do all the things you say you won't do and drive yourself mad in the process xx

@Pugprincess Huge congratulations 🥳 Hoping you have a healthy and happy pregnancy 🥰

@Pugprincess wow check out that line progression! Congrats hun, you so deserve this and praying it's a sticky bean for you! 🎉🤞🏽💞

@MichT4 you've been through a lot recently so it's expected to have those "meh" lull days. It might just be a combination of things making you feel that way but at least you're aware and can try and pick yourself up. Puppy will defo help too! Any nice plans for the weekend?

@Firevie sorry your OH has decided to be so difficult! Hopefully you can sort it over the phone before he gets to Vienna. Safe flight x

@VP91x any plans for the weekend? dare I ask what OPKs are doing now? Have they decided to behave?

@Northernsoul90 has the spotting progressed at all? Enjoy your anniversary meal today 💞

@SmileyT how are you getting on hun? Any new symptoms or nausea etc after your scan the other day? X

@scrambledeggy how many dpo are you today?
I'm trying not to symptom spot, last night I had some cramping but I was only 5 dpo yesterday so unlikely to be anything xx

@Pugprincess Congratulations!! I really hope this is a sticky bean for you!!

Sorry I've been a bit quiet, I was waiting out the recovery. But spotting has stopped and I'm feeling ready to try again. We DTD yesterday for the first time since the smm after mmc. So it's been a week since the smm yesterday. I'm really crossing my fingers that bring really fertile after an mc is true for me this time. When I had an mmc back in 2018, it took 3 months to conceive my son. But here's hoping!

@MichT4 I am with you with that feeling I've really had a down couple of days I need to snap out of it. I keep just thinking what if it never happens. I know I need to try and stay positive but you will know how hard that is at times. I hope you have something planned to try and keep your mind busy today!

@MichT4 @MrsK21 So the bleeding hasn't progressed as such, it's still there (day 3) and it's just light bleeding/spotting I would say with the same brown colour and stringy clots (sorry tmi). My periods have never been heavy - usually they would only last around 3 days sometimes 4 and have a couple of days of dark blood and maybe one day of red blood. I was just expecting more of a bleed as most people say the first period after mc is heavy and I haven't had any bleeding for 7 weeks, mc was 9 weeks ago but I had about 2 weeks of spotting/bleeding after that. I don't know what to think or whether to take it as af or not. The fact that it arrived on af due date makes me think it must be? I hope the nurse can reassure me when she rings

@MrsK21 @Northernsoul90 I have a pretty busy weekend. Training at the moment 🥵 and this afternoon we have lunch out for OHs Dads 60th. Then heading to my mums after that as having Sunday lunch there tomorrow. She lives by the coast so it'll be too busy to drive in the morning.

The puppy is definitely helping but it's weird, me and OH were both saying last night that we can't really get excited until we've got him. It feels like something will take him away. We think it's linked to the MCs and that feeling of not wanting to get excited just in case.

@Northernsoul90 my first AF after the first MC wa super light, and I was expecting something far worse. I think it just depends. And I think I said the other day, maybe because of how long it's been, a bit of blood has clotted and sat for a while. I think either you get a full flow or it stops and you know it was a light AF. Either way it's a clear out and a refresh.

Any nice plans this weekend girls? xx

Thanks @MrsK21 and @Northernsoul90
I have just landed! My dad is picking me up
I have one missed call from DH when I was in the middle of the flight! I’m gonna let him suffer for a bit
Xxx

Also just to update I’ve never really had any suptoms either for af or pregnancy. I only noticed last pg that my boobs were in so much pain but that must have been 3weeks after ovulation so not sure what to expect now but as I listen to Bettina Rae I don’t Symptom Spot but I have noticed sharp pains in my left side this morning not sure what it means but I might make a note of it on my app anyway.

How are you all?

@Northernsoul90 enjoy your dinner tonight!
Xxx

@Pancakes7 I had a mc in 2016 before my daughter and it only took 3 cycles. Really hoping it's not long for me either but who knows xx

@Pugprincess yes!!!!!!!! Omg so happy for u!!! Great progression!! Fingers crossed that continues to get stronger.

@MichT4 so sorry I felt that way yesterday :( it’s totally normal. It good to allow urself to feel how u are feeling and vent it out on here. It will happen for u again, ur body can do it, it’s just working it’s way through the bad eggs—- that’s what I told myself anyway. Glad u are feeling a bit better this morning

@VP91x how r u? How’s the opks behaving

@Firevie wow what a douche!!! U done exactly what I would done and let him sweat it out. Totally uncalled for and immature behaviour. You shelidjng for months for him to have a piss up. Men just don’t think. I hope he comes crawling on his knees with apologies x

@Pancakes7 I’m glad ur spotting has stopped and fw comes fast

@Northernsoul90 sorry ur still spotting but I would properly start classing it as af if it started around the correct time

Hope everyone else ok. Trying to read through but I’m so ill. Sickness came on full force last night and I’ve been up all night. Not complaining as this was the exact gestation day I woke up to bleeding with my loss in April. So I’m taking any and all symptoms even tho I feel so horrible... and it’s such a beautiful day outside. Wish I could go sit outside

Hi everyone! Haven’t posted in a while but have been keeping updated with you all.
@Firevie my DH is the same, once he is out with friends he can’t say no and sometimes has got so drunk! Hope you manage to have a lovely time though.
@Pugprincess congratulations on the line progression, great news! Really hope this one sticks for you.

So I’m on cd36 and AF hasn’t shown yet but have been having cramping on and off the last few days so feel like it’s on its way. I tested this morning and thurs morning and BFN. Last cycle was 41 days but before that I was around the 31/32 day mark so don’t know what’s suddenly happening to my cycles. Had quite a few stabby/sharp twinges this cycle but know that could be anything. Haven’t been tracking this cycle but app on my phone thinks I’m 15dpo today so would’ve assumed I’d get something on a test by now. Used clear blue early detection. Just clinging to the fact I might’ve ovulated later. Hope you all have a lovely day in the sun today! X

Also to the ladies feeling low, I have been feeling the same on and off. Went to legoland in the week and there seemed to be so many pregnant women there! @VP91x think I remember reading you went there too? X

So went for that scan yesterday and today I have pains in my left hand side hoping its ovulation pains 🤞🏻 Not felt this twingy before but maybe post mmc x

@Firevie I'm so sorry that you're going through this. Try not to stress too much. I'd be absolutely livid too, I guess he just got carried away. I'm sure he didn't intend to hurt you or to ruin his chances at travelling. Men have a one track mind sometimes!!!

@Pugprincess oh my god, what wonderful news! I'm so so excited for you, you absolutely deserve this.

An update from me (Mrs I swore I wouldn't symptom spot!) and also TMI but my CM is quite thick and runny, there's a good bit of it too. I don't normally get that on the run up to my period but here, stranger things have happened! Anyone know if this is a sign? Humour me anyway, I'm going nuts! 9DPO today 😐

@Runnergirl1 fingers crossed for ovulation

@chloedancer897 test! Test! Test! Test!

@MichT4 @2020wish Yeah I think I'm just gonna class this as af it's been going on 3 days with pains as well now and it's not too dissimilar from some periods I've had in the past. It's the reading I've done about Ashermans that's made me more paranoid I think but that is supposed to be very rare.

@Firevie Thank you! Glad you arrived safe! I would make him sweat for a bit xx

@Runnergirl1 Fingers crossed for ovulation for you!!

@chloedancer897 That could definitely be a good sign! When do you plan on testing? Xx

I wrote a really long reply last night and my phone died and lost it all so sorry if I miss loads 🙈

@BEESY90 congrats 🥳

@Pugprincess congrats 🥳 such nice line progression x

@Bellabubble so sorry about your rabbit, must be so hard losing a family pet 😩

@Firevie 4 languages that's bloody amazing 🥰 ahh sorry about all the unrest with OH hopefully once you're settled at home and OH sobers up you'll sort it out x

@DBTJ yay for another successful scan xx

@MichT4 sorry you was feeling shitty yesterday, totally understand the frustration but I'm glad you are feeling more positive today and hopefully have some nice plans? x

@chloedancer897 I was 9/11dpo and tested two days afterwards 🤞

@MrsK21 I'm all good thanks, symptoms have subsided today so thinking it may actually be a weekend thing when I get some good sleep I just feel better x

@Runnergirl1 fingers crossed for ovulation soon and glad the scan went well x

MAFSA is my plan for the day 🥰

Thank you all 🙂 @SmileyT apparently there’s another season of the Australian one starting Monday. I’ve not checked yet but that’s a friend told me xx

Quick and random question - does anyone's nails grow stupid quick from hormones? One hand in particular, they've sprouted longer than ever out of nowhere! 💅🏼

@chloedancer897 sounds promising. When's testing day for you?

@SmileyT MAFSA sounds like a great plan. I have about 1.5 left and I've stalled! Just back from a lovely lunch, feel tired with this heat!

xx
