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

Oh and @MichT4 your puppy is 😍😍😍 congratulations and we all want lots of pics when he comes home. Don't be anxious, it's a journey in itself owning a doggo but one filled with excitement and joy and love and frustration. You'll love it xx

@Jazper I'm so sorry you're feeling like this. 10dpo is so early still, please don't give up hope, you're not out until AF arrives. Sorry if I have missed it, but how many cycles are you post mc? Like you, I fell pregnant so quickly pre MC, literally decided to try and bang, it happened. Here I am now CD 68 and nothing much going on.
I also had LOADS of hair fall. My hormones I think were to blame, I found cowashing (just washing couple of times a week with conditioner only) really helped along with leaving it braided and just giving it time. But it's horrid feeling you're also going bald on top of MC.
Hope it slows down soon for you and sending you a big hug xxx

@Pancakes7 sorry for your loss to and welcome to the group. Are you keeping an eye out for ovulation, thinking if bleedings stopped you might start ovulating again. Do you test xx

@Firevie @MichT4 I know I need to just not even go there and do it to myself symptom spotting is the devil! Xx

@Pugprincess Yes going with a different lender over a shorter term so I'm cleaning and sorting like a mad woman 😂. I hope af isn't lurking for you... I started trying to check my cm but I've talked myself out of it as it would just be another thing to think about xx

@MrsK21 I hope the days go quick for you lovely!! Xx

@Jazper Sorry that it was negative and you are feeling low 😣 it's still early yet though so I would definitely wait a few days and if no af retest? I am also 10dpo and trying to wait it out until Saturday but struggling to think about anything else. TTC after mc is an absolute struggle emotionally as well as physically - the longing for a baby is unbearable. We are all here for you 💖 xx

@pugprincess I had those shooting pains in my vagina and thought it was weird and now I'm pregnant so fingers crossed!! There is loads of sugar in juice too so watch it, can really mess with your teeth. Only a glass a day really.

@scrambledeggy welcome, I loss is a loss no matter how many weeks. I hate the term chemical pregnancy it makes you feel like it's not real. @pancakes7 welcome to you too, sorry for your losses.

@northernsoul90 my CM continued. I think if conception didn't occur it tends to dry up. Mine was watery and then creamy / sticky and I still get it most days now at 6+3

@Jazper I'm so sorry you're feeling this way 😔 as the others have said you're not out until AF arrives and even if she does you got this!!

@fafi good to know! Yes think I might start having the pom juice with breakfast and a smoothie later on? Is pom juice sugary do we think? I definitely don’t want to be having too much sugar as fruit has enough and I already cut out my spoon of sugar in my tea lol. Also cut right back on chocolate and biscuits etc. Only proper sweet thing I had yesterday was pudding after dinner. X

@fafi my smoothies can be made with water rather than fruit juice so maybe I should try that. Least I’m still getting that fruit or veg then. And pom juice with breakfast x

Checked pom juice label and looks as sugary as orange juice to me. Labels not as clear but sugars are listed under the carbs I think.

Thank you for your kind words @fafi! I have symbolically binned my positive test, because I kept staring at it to remind myself it had actually happened.

@Pugprincess I know it's so easy to say, but as long as you're eating and moving you're doing fine! Thinking about food as doing well or doing badly is only going to stress you out more. You sound really sensible and like you're doing your best. And you're right about the decaff tea, I don't think you have anything to worry about

@Jazper I'm so sorry, I know what you mean about not being able to tell anyone. I felt so bad about telling my DH my positive last month only for it to turn negative immediately. Doesn't help that no-one talks about stuff like this on social media. If (hopefully when) I have a healthy pregnancy I'm going to be really honest about it, because I know from a relative who works in early pregnancy care how common MC of all types are.

@Northernsoul90 @Firevie

Great to know, thank you! I’ve done another CB OPK this morning and the empty circle again. It’s so disheartening. I had convinced myself I’d get pregnant straight away because at the time it seemed to help me cope and lessen the pain, but now I’m so scared I’ll be a mess when I get AF. I’m also a psycho and have 5 different apps, which is pointless because they’re not gonna be accurate 😂 Glow definitely seems to be the best, but I swear to god I’m not made for all this DTD 😂 everyday it pushes the ovulation out by a day so I’ve been ‘high’ for a week. It’s starting to feel like a chore 😂

@scrambledeggy yes I know what you mean. I got preg before on my old diet, I just hoped a newer better improved one might help things. I posted my loss on my Instagram and it was amazing how many said they had too and everyone was supportive and sorry. X

@MrsK21
Thank you ❤️ I'm going in to my 6th cycle post mc now and i do know that's not long really but I've always been so fertile that my OH and I were naively convinced we would fall again in the following couple of cycles. I have three children to a previous relationship and it took four months of 'not actively trying' to fall pregnant with the baby I lost. I know I should be grateful for what I have, and I am, my children are amazing but I am so desperate for one with my OH.
Oh cd68! You must be going out of your mind! Are they going to run any tests or intervene in some way to get af to arrive?
I will try the cowashing, never heard of it, thank you xx

Thank you @Northernsoul90 @fafi @scrambledeggy for your messages. Means a lot ❤️ at work and trying to concentrate. Will hop back on tonight xx

Ok I can confirm the smoothies are not as nice with water instead of juice but I shall persevere 😅 sure I will get used to it.

@Pugprincess I only had the smm a couple of days ago on Friday and I've not bleed at all since. I'm sure last time I bled for a week. I'm still getting positive on pregnancy test as it's so soon after the smm so need to wait a couple of weeks I think.

@Jazper so sorry to hear about the BFN - as the ladies say, it could still be early, but please don't be disheartened - it will happen, and hopefully soon. How's your day going now?

He's scrummy isn't he. Don't worry, I'll spam you with puppy pics when I can. My boss was sending me links to good leads etc and I'm really excited, the end of August feels so long to wait!

I'm at work feeling really sick, I am so bad now at getting into a routine and keep coming to work without lunch. I'm resisting just eating biscuits to keep me going as I am trying to be better. I should probably go and get something and stop complaining 😂😂

@scrambledeggy thank you, the problem is I'm trying to diet and if I bake I eat, I'm saying this as I'm sat here eating a McDonald's 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

So I’m very close to getting a negative pregnancy test after my Mmc last Sunday which seems quite quick but I’m happy with. We DTD Saturday but still seem to be spotting brown/pinkish discharge. Although only like once or twice a day. Is that normal does anyone know. Like I say I am back on Friday To have a scan so can ask questions Then but hoping you girls can help me sooner. Thank you x

@Lollol86 nothing wrong with a McDonald’s ! EnjoyB I’ve been stuffing my face with cake and donuts lol xx

@Firevie honestly it's so bad, of the food is unhealthy I ❤️ it 🤣🤣 Ive our on so much weight during lockdown xx

@fafi thank you! Xx

@Cici89 The apps are so frustrating!! Don't worry about another circle... keep going and you will get a flashy soon! You said you had already gotten a negative pregnancy test didn't you? When was your mc? Xxx

@Runnergirl1 I'm glad your test is almost at negative, that's a good sign. I had brown spotting for about 2 weeks after my mmc, I think spotting for a while after is normal xx

@Lollol86 Was on the KFC last night, no regrets, sometimes you just have to eat something greasy!

@Pugprincess that's so reassuring to know you got so much support. My reasons for keeping all this on the down low is that I have a supervisor at work who I know wouldn't approve of me even TTC due to the fact I'm so early on in my career, which is ridiculous, but there you go

@Northernsoul90 it should feel slippery you can rub your fingers together. Mine was constant it did not dry up are you feeling for the position of cervix aswell.

@MrsK21 remain positive one time I didn't test positive till 12dpo this time It was a positive at 10dpo you can never say how things will turn out.

Sorry for the gross picture but I’m a bit worried. I was just walking the dog and felt stuff come out so when I got back I checked and that’s what’s there. Looks kind of yellow? Should I get that checked out? I feel ok otherwise and doesn’t smell. It’s runny not thick 😕
