Oh @HappyVibes 😢. Both take the time you need to process it, grieve it and feel ready to move forward. It's so difficult this TTC journey, and sometimes it's right to just stop and let the emotion out.

Enjoy your walk. Beautiful day to be outside xx

@HappyVibes so sorry to hear af got you. Enjoy your walk and hopefully a new cycle brings new luck 🤞🏻 X

@Northernsoul90 @HappyVibes sorry AF got you both too, what a bitch!
Next month will be our month, think we all needed this just to help regulate.

@Northernsoul90 that's positive your cycle is regular again though, we definitely need to take the wins. My cycle is a lot shorter now (25 days!) but seeing as it as only a week till FW and only a week and half to wait to know. Trying to stay positive about it.

@Rb486 I haven't got a static today hun, just meant earlier in my cycle. I'm on heavy AF day today but hope my next cycle also brings a decent static! X

@HappyVibes*@Northernsoul90@MrsK21 @MinnieMouse4* sorry to hear about afs/bfns/ I can totally understand how you’re feeling as was the same for me last month but it does get better with every day and you remember to see the silver lining that we re all regulating again after our losses! I’m actually looking forward to my af as it will mean I can hop back on the TTC journey again haha. I have done my fertility yoga and meditation today, done a dance workout at home and power walked around the courtyards - feels so good! Allow yourself to feel all your emotions, enjoy junk food, boozy drinks, walks and some binge watching tv perhaps. We are all so so strong and will hols our rainbow babies in our arms soon! Sending lots of love xxx

@HappyVibes so sorry AF got you but you are in the perfect mindset moving forward. Your plan today sounds amazing! I always reward myself every month with some lush bathbombs and a really hot bath. Just some me time is perfect. And a wee holiday sounds much needed too. I hope you and OH are ok xo

@MrsK21 oh sorry I just have read that wrong. At least you have a fresh new cycle full of new opportunities ☺️ let this be your month!!

@MichT4 I’m sooo sorry you’ve had to go through that again. Maybe they will give you cytotec to help remove anything? I had that twice 😭 hope you get some answers soon. It may be something so simple like low progesterone or thyroid. Like wtf do they not test us for this during our second pregnancies or after our first m/c? I work for the NHS but that makes my blood boil. It’s not just physical health, it’s very much mental health. Take good care of yourself xxxx

@MichT4 thanks. Just ordered some cheap OKPs. Good idea. Thank the Lord for amazon prime. They arrive tonight! 😀

@Rb486 Glad you’re feeling better x

@MinnieMouse4 Sorry for the BFN. Treat yourself with naughty food and nice wine later.

@MrsK21
Good advice. Very sensible as CB can get expensive. It’s naughty of them not to sell the separate sticks without the actual applicator. Shouldn’t be allowed.

@chloedancer897 Still good charting and nice and high. I’m interested in the Ava. Sounds like you’re enjoying it. So when do you measure temps if you’re worried working night shifts isn’t accurate? Sorry new to this.

@HappyVibes
Sorry about AF. As always, so amazing how you always look on the positive and it’s so handy it falls in good time for your bloods. May I ask what is measured at that time? What are you looking for? Should all ladies get those tests? I’ve heard people mention one test several days after ovulation? I ovulate around day 20. Hope you enjoyed your walk! ☀️

@Northernsoul90
Thanks. Sorry it’s been tough. I’m SLT and I’ve felt stressed about stressing teachers out 🤦🏼‍♀️. So much pressure from government with Covid. We are doing blended learning which is so hard on everyone. Impossible to fit everything in. Glad I’m not the only one pestering my husband. They should be grateful we are pestering! Ha!

@Bellabubble

sorry to hear about your pets- so hard losing them as they truly become part of the family ☹️.

It’s so cruel when AF is late and it makes you think there’s a chance of BFP. Get your hopes up. Hope you’re ok.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and has nice plans for this evening.

It looks like my static (if it comes) will happen close to parents evening and interviews On Monday. Bloody typical! Just not fun DTD on a Monday school night. 😂

Hope those of you testing early next week have lots of luck!

X

Ps @MichT4... I’ll see what I can come up with for later 🥕🥖🌭

😂 🤦🏼‍♀️

@RichmondLady1981 I stick it on in the morning when I go to bed. I'd be awful at having to get up in the morning to temp! The Ava suits my lazy nature 😂

@MichT4 @chloedancer897 @MrsK21 @Firevie
Thanks ladies it looks like it is af for me sadly, I actually feel okay about it though. Last time af arrived I was really upset and overwhelmed but I've just kind of accepted it this time. This was my first full cycle since mc so I had tried not too get my hopes up too much although it's always a bit of a blow isn't it Xx

@HappyVibes I'm sorry that af arrived... she came for me too. I hope are you okay, your plan for the day/weekend sounds perfect. Sending hugs your way 💖 xx

@RichmondLady1981 It's crazy at the moment isn't it, I can imagine how much pressure you're under. Unfortunately our SLT aren't supportive or realistic at the best of times so it's all a bit much atm. I've been meaning to apply for other jobs for about 2 years now because I'm really unhappy where I am I just need to make that decision and go for it. Now is probably not the right time though!

Oh and I know they should be thanking us 😂🤣 xx

Hey ladies, I've just got out my scan, baby has a strong heartbeat and measuring at 6 weeks 5 days. Based on lmp I'm 7 weeks. I was literally shaking I was so scared. I'm glad it wasn't an empty sac. I'm still going to have some doubt as my last pregnancy I saw a heart beat at 6 weeks and then baby died at 8 and a half weeks. I have booked another scan for 3 weeks time. But for now I am pregnant and my little bean is tucked up nicely xx

@Lollol86 That's amazing news!! So pleased for you ❤️❤️ what a relief that must have felt as well I can imagine how nervous you were. Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xx

@Northernsoul90 thank you, I was crying and shaking such a mess xx

@Lollol86 that is WONDERFUL! It's brought a tear to my eye

@Lollol86 how amazing!! Try not to think like that and think this is going to be a successful pregnancy ☺️ I’m sure you’ll feel more reassured when you see all is well still in 3 weeks time! Xxx

@Lollol86 wonderful news!!!❤️❤️

@Lollol86 amazing news!!! Wishing you a healthy and happy 9 months! Xxx

@Lollol86 - amazing news. Glad everything is looking good. Here’s to a happy and healthy 9months x

@Lollol86 congrats on a successful scan 🥰

Thank you all, I'm going to allow myself a little excitement for today. Xx

@MrsK21*@chloedancer897 @MichT4* @Northernsoul90 @Firevie @RichmondLady1981 Thank you all. AF still hasn’t arrived yet but I’m ready when she is lol. Any test should have really picked up a BFP by now so I can rule that out so I just want AF to come along so I can start again. It’s being in limbo that’s starting to become stressful. Xx

@HappyVibes I’m so sorry that AF has arrived for you. It’s heartbreaking that we have to go through this even after all the trauma of a MC. A hot bath and lots of junk food sounds amazing. Xx

@Lollol86 that really is amazing news. It’s perfectly understandable to be anxious at this stage given what you have been through but hopefully you can relax a bit now. Xx

@Lollol86 congratulations! Such amazing news and great hope for the rest of us. Enjoy every moment. 💕

I’ve peaked! Got a static! Yay 😁

@RichmondLady1981 Yay for static!! Get going haha 🥳😉 xx

@RichmondLady1981 - better get on it. Enjoy lol x

Can I join please?

Had a MMC with surgical management on the 18th August. Absolutely gutted as we had no idea it was even twins until our 12 weeks scan which also confirmed no heartbeat :(
Decided to try again straight away as a way of coping. I started using OPKs as soon as my bleeding stopped on CD8.
Had lines come up on the tests which didn't look dark enough to be positive, however I've just downloaded the Premom app and it's saying I peaked on CD10 but we didn't start BD until CD12 so thinking we may have missed this month.

I'm still doing the OPKs now just in case I didn't properly ovulate and it's yet to come. I know some ladies didn't ovulate until about CD30 after MC.

We were hoping to do the SMEP this month but may have to try again next month.

I'm so glad there are these threads, it helps to know you aren't alone. (although my partner has been amazing through this).
