Hey all after a few difficult months and ups and downs and various things. I'm TTC this month onwards. Hoping for that BFP and a rainbow soon. Will be following everyone's journey more actively now.

@HappyVibes lovely to hear from you. You caught me on the right day as I can confirm it's CD1 for me 🥳🥳

Every AF comes with some sadness that it's another cycle gone, but I'm so relieved! I foresaw it coming so booked my blood tests for Monday, so I feel like this month I'll get somewhere at least.

I've also decided to try and step back slightly because I need to get back to being me and not entirely a walking TTC machine 😂 but I am also very invested in some of the journeys so I am hanging about and I know I'll be popping up from time to time. This group has helped me so much so I'm sure it won't last long.
I just feel this next cycle will be an important one with hopefully lots of tests and advice and I just think I need to focus on that along with getting back into my own routine, I've lost a bit of that I think.

Sounds like you have a similarly relaxed plan, and you are almost at FW maybe so it's going nice and quickly!

@Northernsoul90 snap! I know I can't stop reading the chat, but it had become one of the first things I did and it was on my mind to check it a lot of the time. I started to feel under pressure when things weren't going the same for me, so I concluded I probably needed a re-jig to put the focus elsewhere. I still really want to know how everyone gets on 👀👀 so I'm still here and commenting, but just have to remember the other parts of me are still there

@BEESY90 so sorry you've been dealing with the bleeding, but so happy to see that scan picture. I hope the bleeding eases or you get an answer as to what is causing it.

@2020wish sorry you've been unwell, glad you are home now and all is going well. Nearly 12 weeks, can't believe it!

@Firevie your evening looked divine. That red wine looks delightful!

@Bellabubble good quick thinking on the address. Would have been easy for her to fob you off. Where do they get their imaginary power from?? Drives me mad. Looks like you are going to get well looked after though, fingers crossed for you

xx

[quote HappyVibes]@susiebluebell that sounds extremely hopefully for you. How exciting! Are you staying strong on the testing front? When are you due AF?

Congratulations @Bl0ndi3 it’s lovely to come back on after a week away and see the positive result for you.

@MichT4 I am so invested in your journey lovely, hoping AF is here shortly for you / FW. I’ve not been on all week so apologies if I missed any updates re your FW. As always you seem to be handling it all like a little superstar 💫 xxxx[/quote]
Thanks, I am hopeful too but keeping it at arm's length so I don't get carried away. The boob soreness and tummy twinges for the past couple of days tell me that things are moving along at least, and healing from the mc. AF is due on 16th and I don't want to test till after that - maybe a bit of superstition because I didn't test last time till I was a week late? Also helps that I'm miles from the nearest shops 🙃

Like you I am quite invested in all the ladies' journeys now and come on mainly to read updates from everyone. Keeping things in perspective is so important though and I'm glad you're feeling better x

@Bl0ndi3 yey congratulations 💜
@BEESY90 sooo glad everything is still OK after your scare! Scan pic is gorge 😍
@Northernsoul90 the relaxed approach can def work and for me waaaay less stressful

Did my test this morning 😊 and its looking good so far! 🤞

@Dizzy201 wooop 💜💜💜

what dpo are you to get 2-3?

I have 2 but I don't want to get a 1-2 result haha so going to wait to use my first one just not sure how long xx

Congratulations @Dizzy201 🥳 and yay for great progression . Best wishes for a healthy and successful 9 months 💕🌈

@Bl0ndi3 I'm not sure as I stopped tracking and trying really, I was getting really down every AF. I've worked out though that I must be somewhere between 12 and 17 dpo. I bought 2 as well im going to do the other one in a few days to try and narrow the window down a bit 🙈 my cycle is short so just hope i haven't ovulated too early for it to stick. How many dpo are you today? We must be very close xx

@Jadem83 thankyou 😊 xx

@Dizzy201 I'm 11dpo today I think I'm due AF on Tuesday I know if I used one of the weeks ones today I'd be 1-2 so I might wait til Friday to use the first one!

Desperate to see 2-3 and 3+ 😍

@Bl0ndi3 yeah same though later is better in my case as I must have ovulated between cd8 and 13 and I'm worrying now was too early 🙃 I was due af today, dont know if I'd have the patience to wait another week haha, good luck with yours 🥰

@Dizzy201 I don't think you can ovulate too early can you? I'm sure you have nothing to worry about and at the very least don't worry until you have to - I'm trying to do that this time around too 🥰

If you wait a week you're more likely to see 3+ if you work on being 2 weeks since conception today although I reality you could be 2+6 since conception and get 3+ tomorrow haha but for the price of those tests it's not worth it xx.

@Bl0ndi3 google is worst enemy yeah lol! yeah true maybe I will try and hold out till late next week, im probs gonna book in for an early scan once I'm 6 weeks anyway to hopefully put my mind at rest. I just dunno whether to be excited or worried at the mo 🤞I'm gonna keep busy for a few weeks i think keep my mind occupied. What do you think your due date will be?

@MichT4 thank you! I felt bad being so blunt (it’s very out of character for me!) but having got a Dr so willing to help and who had spent all his time making a plan for me meant I didn’t want to lose him! As the services are not going ahead where I am, he even helped are even doing some of the “leg work” ourselves, as they are giving me an at home screening test (apparently one of the ladies fertility checks is for std’s) to speed it up, my oh will drive to the lab near where he works to get his analysis down, as my local hospital are just not doing men’s fertility stuff, and the next local to me has a years waiting list. I bet a new Dr’s surgery wouldn’t be so proactive! xx

@Northernsoul90 I agree with taking a step back everyso often too! I love following everyone’s journey on here, but I try to catch up morn and eve now - as I found I was checking it a lot, and I am always sooo happy to see people’s bfp’s - and sad for those who get bfn’s - but after seeing so many people get their bfp’s and I’m still here - it sort of adds stress and worry that something might be wrong with me/oh. Then you read stress isn’t helpful when ttc so it becomes a never ending circle!

So I caved this morning 9dpo and bfn. I know it’s early but I was hoping for a squinter or something. Really wanted to get my rainbow before my birthday at the end of this month 😢 x

@HappyVibes @Northernsoul90 my last cycle was just 24 days and one before 27 so they seem to be much much shorter than before. I'm CD9 now and due to ovulate on CD13 going by last cycle. Feels like it's come round quick but the TWW will be a long ol one again I'm sure. I started using CB digis cd6 going by the instructions but think I'll just end up with 2 extra flashy days which is a waste 🙄 but if it confirms CD13 again for ovu for me, next cycle I'll give OPKs a miss.
Hoping you guys catch up very soon - miss having you guys as my cycle buddies! X

Hi @Furbsies. Glad to see you’re recovered and back in the game. Hope you’re ok. What stage are you at in your cycle?

@MichT4 I’ve only been on here a few weeks and I’m finding it addictive too! I often read as I like to see peoples journeys but sometimes it takes over. I think that’s a sensible approach.

Congratulations @Dizzy201. That looks very promising. How exciting for you 😀 x

@Runnergirl1 I’ve read so many posts that people get BFN on DPO 9 and then positives around 10/11 albeit very faint! You’re definitely not out!

@RichmondLady1981 - I really hope so feeling very emotional about it all atm x

Yay to AF @MichT4 big celebratory moment woohoo! Yes to the relaxed approach. It’s get so much better for us this month already. So glad we’ve managed to do it. Saying that now though before the CB testing starts so probably will have to work hard to keep the relaxation up.

@Bl0ndi3 & @Dizzy201 please may you lovely ladies share your journeys with us all, to keep up the positive and hopefulness with everyone? 💓💓💓

@Dizzy201 be happy and excited! I'm weighing up whether or not to book an early scan too. I think I'll see how I feel when I get to six weeks. I'll try and hang on for as long as I can.

I'm estimating 25th May 2021 I'll be due just in time for summer haha

@HappyVibes of course...

Me and OH started trying November 2019. I'm (now) 30 and he's 35 and he has a DS from a previous relationship and therefore I'm fairly certain this is going to be our only child together.

Got BFP 16 July 2020 but unfortunately bleeding started in 4 August at around 7 weeks.

Soon as bleeding stopped and had negative test we started TTC again, ovulated 4 weeks from bleeding (CD29) we had DTD CD28 and CD26 those are the only days I think matter but we DTD other times too. Wasn't expecting it at all so soon!

I'd been acting pregnant in that I've not been having any caffeine at all etc and been taking my vitamins every day (pregnancy and conception multi vitamin and omega 3) and also did lots of fertility yoga.

It's still early for me and I'm just hoping it's not gonna be a chemical so will see how I get on but I'm feeling a bit more hopeful as line on IC today was darker which I think is a good sign and I will do another FRER tomorrow!

That’s so lovely @Bl0ndi3 Thank you so much for sharing. That’s definitely a good sign for sure re the darker line. & it doesn’t sound like there’s any signs as to why it would be chemical so you keep strong and positive girl. This is your journey and you deserve to be excited and happy. You’ve got a little Baba in the making, so magical. Xxx

Hello All. Been reading and would like to join you ladies. Your stories keep me going when I get into a dark place.

Firstly thanks to @VP91x who keeps this going

My story. Bleeding started in Aug 7th at 9weeks and 3 days. Had seen heartbeat at 7 weeks. Had surgical management August 13th. DtD exactly 2 weeks after management and ovulated 2 days later based on feeling the pain (i dont track with OPK). Now 4 weeks post surgical and 5 weeks post start of bleed and waiting for either AF or BFP.was hard goign thru the scans and procedure with Covid as my husband wasn't allowed in. Now residing the urge to test and stop symptom spotting till my 6 week check up post D &C which is 2 weeks away.

@bl0ndi3 I am so invested in your story now.
@Peblet @HPenthusiast @susiebluebell it seems our dates were very close.

Sending all the luck and positive vibes to everyone.

Thank you so much @RichmondLady1981 I am just past the ovulation stage and currently waiting the long dreaded wait. Have decided as this is the first month I'm not going to test and I'm just going to wait until I'm late to actually test.

Hi all don't know if anyone remembers me from mc in Jan, March and June. I've sulked for a few months off the board but just got a BFP so am back and seeing who is still around.
Fingers crossed for you all xx

@Wishingfornumber2and3 Hello and welcome, yes our MCs were very close, you on 7th and me on 13th. It's comforting to think back and know that I wasn't the only one in the whole world it was happening to, which is what it felt like. Hugs and strength.

@SweetpeaOrMarigold Hello again, big fat CONGRATULATIONS on the bfp! Wishing you a safe and peaceful pregnancy x
