Hi everyone,

Setting up the new thread for us - we have come a long way since January and sadly a few of us are still on the "journey". Let's hope we arent here for much longer. Wishing us all baby dust (although its been so long I am not sure dust will do it for me - maybe will have to up the particle size to "baby sand" )

@Fizzl I’m sorry your Doctor was like that. Why do they think we are just neurotic! Hope you get somewhere going private just a shame that you have to go that route.

Fingers crossed @Babyghirl hope you get you BFP

Babyghirl · 18/08/2020 12:59

@ELM7
Not getting my hopes up cause I don't want to be so disappointed tbh. A load of clear cm aswell as only us girls would knw r body's can be so evil in the tww and give us so many symptoms only for af to show up on time.

Nuggetlover27 · 18/08/2020 13:27

🤞🏻 it's a good sign @Babyghirl !

@Annny27 yes that ad is so relatable 😂 my OPKs are starting to go up and also signs of cm so I recon ov is on its way soon

@ELM7 how frustrating for you. Our bodies can be so cruel. Hopefully something starts the process soon and we can both ov within the next week !

@Fizzl sorry you had to go though that with your dr ☹️ I think this is why it's so hard for us to ask for help , because when we do they just don't seem to care or just pin it on something which how can you not be stressed and anxious when you don't have answers! So frustrating 💕

Babyghirl · 18/08/2020 13:46

@nuggetlover27

I'm hoping so lol will keep yous all updated soon I hope.

Annny27 · 18/08/2020 16:43

Period arrived now and ouch she is making herself known...😫😫 as if the emotional pain of knowing you arent pregnant isn't enough....mother nature has to make me physically in pain too 😂

@fizzl i am so thankful that we have the option just to go private but makes me sad for people who have to battle through dismissive GPs without the option to get a 2nd opinion :(

@Babyghirl omg only 4 tests ever - think i did more last week haha 😂😂 honestly I need to not be such a poas addict but cant help it! Yes please let us know :D

@Nuggetlover27 you will be in the tww before you know it :D

@ELM7 yes my GP definitely thinks I am neurotic :p she isnt wrong 🙈🙈

@Annny27

Nuggetlover27 · 19/08/2020 09:19

Aw sorry @Babyghirl 😔 our bodies are cruel 💕

Babyghirl · 19/08/2020 09:23

@nuggetlover27
Going to hold off now to Oct as twice I have fell pregnant in September and twice I have lost them so if I fell nxt month I would be waiting for the worst, I knw in my head it's nt the month but can't help but shake the feeling lol xx

Nuggetlover27 · 19/08/2020 09:30

@Babyghirl yeah I know what you mean. I conceived last September too so will be worried about next month as well. Especially since I am due on my period on the exact date I got my last period before I got pregnant last year 😳 just gives me something else to worry about!

Annny27 · 19/08/2020 09:36

@Babyghirl so sorry lovely :( I wonder what made you throw up :(

@Nuggetlover27 I am the opposite, I will be so excited if we fall pregnant this month which was when we conceived last time as I feel its meant to be haha! Also my period is due on my wedding anniversary next month (assuming ovulation is as the app says)......so it would be a pretty amazing anniversary present

OP posts:
Babyghirl · 19/08/2020 09:48

@Annny27
I'm scared but can't help but think Sept is just my fertile month lol.

Nuggetlover27 · 19/08/2020 14:03

@Annny27 that would be a really good anniversary present. 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for you!

I saw this relatable post on Instagram this morning and thought of all you ladies 💕

@nuggetlover27

How true is that post 😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪😪 The worst feeling ever and the longer it takes the more you begin to think its never going to happen x

Annny27 · 20/08/2020 09:17

Morning :)

Yes it is heartbreaking! As weird as it sounds I actually find the heartbreak of not conceiving to be more painful than the miscarriage. I dont know if its because that was then and this is now but it feels horrible every month not being pregnant :( @nuggetlover27 @Babyghirl

Annny27 · 20/08/2020 09:17

We are all a bit Debbie downer understandably haha!

So just to cheer you up, me and DH woke up to the sound of our cat throwing up next to our bed 😳🤪😂

@Annny27
Lol I would off been boking with it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Well now on cd1 up all nite with a painful stomach so on to month 11 for me it's just a waiting game to c that bfp. Going to take a relaxed approach this month no temping and go with the flow take the stress away they say and it will happen lol 💚💚

sk283 · 20/08/2020 16:40

Hi ladies.
I had my MMC in June. Had a Medical evacuation and my first period in early August.
Can I ask for some ovulation testing eyes please.
The top was done this morning. The bottom this afternoon. I'm using cheap amazon ones for the first time as I didn't want to spend money on CB as I new I'd be crazy testing every day. Should I hide my time with these or fork out for CB. Has anyone found these brands accurate?

Hi jumping on!

I had a MMC in March this year and it all happened naturally without intervention. Trying for our 1st baby and I've decided to take it seriously this month onwards as would love to be pregnant by Christmas.

I'm on CD11 of a 28day cycle and had a positive clearblue advanced OPK today. My excruciating TWW is almost here Grin

Babyghirl · 20/08/2020 17:45

@sk283
Sorry you find yourself on this thread but it has helped me tlk to girls that's been through what I been throu, I don't use any opk strips I just temp but know the control line has to be as dark or darker than the test line and they say use them in the afternoon and the evening not with fmu hope that helps.

@monday55

Welcome to the group I have had 2 miscarriages one in Nov 2018 took me ten months to fall pregnant again only to loss that one in Oct 2019 so now on to month 11 cd1 today of trying again. Fingers crossed it happens soon for all us girls on this thread 💚💚

Nuggetlover27 · 20/08/2020 18:33

@Annny27 we're definitely having a downer couple of days ! My OPKs are showing 0-0.2max each day and I'm getting very fed up with not knowing when I'm ovulating 😔. If I use dates I think ov will be this weekend so will keep POAS and try to not get down about it!
Oh dear ! what a lovely way to be woken up 😂

@sk283 and @Monday55 sorry to find you both here with us.
I use those opks and I also use an app to help read them. It was suggested to me by one of the ladies on here. It's called Premom.
I have never got a line as dark as the control like personally but also when I got clear blue expensive ones they didn't work for me either. So I just stick to these cheaper ones and use the app.

Monday55 · 21/08/2020 09:34

@babyghirl Sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed next one will be a sticky one for all of us.

@Nuggetlover27 I used to struggle to read the strips so I forked out for the digital ones. Yesterday when I got a solid smiley face I also dipped a strip test to see how dark it would go and it was the darkest I've ever seen it (as dark as the control line, I couldn't tell them apart).

I use the ovia fertility app to track my cycles :)

Babyghirl · 21/08/2020 10:12

@monday55
Fingers crossed I'm scared off trying incase it happens again, but more scared off nt trying again cause nxt one could be my sticky bean us girls will get r rainbow babies they r just around the corner 💚💚💚

Fizzl · 22/08/2020 09:45

Morning everyone 😊 sorry it's been a really busy few days so not had chance to keep up on here! Hope you're all doing ok!

Sorry af got a couple of you again too! On a positive note it looks like we will all be cycle buddies this month! What a coincidence that a lot of us also fell pregnant last sept! I'm kind of seeing it as a good sign that sept was just meant to be our month but it will also be hard to not keep comparing everything to last year.

@Annny27 oh I can totally relate to pets kicking you when you're down. When my period started on Monday I came out of the bathroom and my dog had peed on the carpet. To be fair that's not unusual anymore as she's really old and bladder control is not as good as it once was 😑 but I did cry as I was cleaning it up because I was just like why now 😂 as if she should have known my period had just started and I was already feeling sorry for myself.

@Skb89 sorry you're here with us 💐 I've used the cheap one step and find them alright. If you're like me you will need a bank loan to afford the digital one with the amount of sticks I've been peeing on.

@Monday55 Hello to you too 👋🏼 I would also love to be pregnant again by Christmas. 🤞 for us!

I have my private appointment this morning so hoping to feel like we're getting somewhere with someone who understands. My husband wants us to go all out and get everything checked for peace of mind. I'm trying to reign him in a bit because I've already had some fertility tests earlier this year so I don't think it's necessary at this stage and I'd rather just get my cycle sorted/lp lengthened but in his words we might be 'flogging a dead horse' and he'd rather know now 😂 so strangely he wants tests as well. I'd be very surprised if there are any issues his end because we have been pregnant before, the issue at the minute is very clearly my wonky cycle but he's willing to splash the cash so let's see what this morning brings 😬

Babyghirl · 22/08/2020 10:31

@fizzl

Hope you get answers today my period for September is nearly the date I found out last 2 Septembers I was pregnant his mum has said to me September must be your fertile month, but I'm scared incase September is also nt a good month 🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈 💚💚💚

chali7 · 22/08/2020 13:07

Hey ladies,

Hope all is well. I just wanted to pop back to see how you all were!

AF arrived 5 days early for me this cycle, after being 7 days early last cycle! I was certain this would be my month (again!) 🙈🙈

Xx
