Ah no way!!! So lovely to hear from you all. You were all so supportive when we went through our ectopic, and we were very lucky to have our little boy in Nov 2020. I’ll be honest that I hated my time off with him during covid. I suffered badly with post natal depression between the lack of support available and lack of contact with other people. It feels like a distant memory but I still get teary when I think back to that time.

We decided to try for another last year and we now have a 3 month old who has completed our family 🥰 things are so different this time around. We’re out and about all the time and I’m so much happier even though life is chaos with 3 under 5.

I’m sorry things didn’t work out for you @Ange211 but I’m glad that you’re at peace with it even though I’m sure it’s hard.

@Mumofboys17 crazy to think they're getting so grown up now 🥺🥺🥺

@Danni2020 that's such an emotional journey. You're so strong to get through all that. All worth it though ❤️

[Danni2020]

Thanks everyone we definitely went through a journey to welcome this little girl yo our family. Ended up going through IVF. We had 4 embryos. First one ended in a miscarriage, second never worked and finally 3rd time lucky. I was definitely ready to give up on giving my son a sibling but I said I may aswell use all our embryos before we give up. Although there is a 6 year age gap between them watching them together means everything. So glad I kept going as this little girl means the world to us all. I honestly look back now and not sure how I got through it all.

So glad all your little ones are doing well. @Ange211 sorry to hear you weren't successful on your journey to your third but glad your family are doing well 😊

[Mumofboys17]

Aww wow! Couldn’t believe it when I saw the email to say this thread had been updated! 🤣 what a blast from the past ❤️
My 2nd DS that I conceived during the OG thread days is almost 2 years 6 months old now! I do think about it now and then and honestly don’t know how I would have gotten through those TTC days without you all 🥹

@Danni2020 so so wonderful to hear you didn’t give up after such a long journey! Massive congrats to you!! X

[Quiffy]

@Danni2020 4 years! That is such a journey. I'm so happy you have your little girl now. 4 months old squee that's so cute. I love that age

@Ange211 I'm so sorry that it never worked out. Your positive mindset to it all is amazing. And your two dc ❤️

Since my first ds in 2020 (he's turning 3 in a few weeks I can't believe it) we decided to try for another baby last year thinking it would take some time. We were very lucky and fell pregnant really quickly and now have a 7 month old ds. He's much wilder than his big brother so feeling very frazzled haha

I had to take a covid test this morning and I was squinting away and it just reminded me of all the tests all those years ago every month looking. It was so lovely to have others in the same boat helping each other out.

[Ange211]

Ha ha this is a blast from the past! I never did manage to get to full term again although as I already have 2 wonderful dc I don’t allow it to get me down. Just wasn’t to be for me.
It would be great to hear some good news stories though ❤️

[Danni2020]

Hello!! Still got an email notification this morning of your message. This thread definitely got me through a lot!! Wow 2019!! And I finally have a little girl of 4 months old who I'm currently feeding. Can't believe it took 4 years to get here but never give up hope 🙂 Hope everyone is doing ok x

[Quiffy]

I'm not sure if any of you still check mumsnet but I had such a lovely memory of our crazy gang this morning and it would be lovely to catch up ❤️

Cannot believe it was 2019 that we started ttc.

[Boo2020]

Fingers crossed she stays away for you 🤞🏾..

[Boo2020]

@Ange211 thank you 💜...how long was it for you when you went to the gp to get a letter or contact from the fertility clinic? Feel like when I saw the doctor Friday it might be a bit of a wait as she wasn't sure on waiting time!..
My AF was due yesterday CD38 if going off my last cycle but I've got nothing, not even any symptoms that it's on the way 😫
Do you do LH tests? Or any in this cycle? Xx

[Ange211]

This is where I’m at. AF due tomorrow. BFN for last couple of days. Think I’m out for this cycle 😭
Next month is my last throw of the dice - Hope hubby is ready 🤣🤣🤣

[Ange211]

Oh @Boo2020 I’m so sorry it’s getting you down. It is really hard & ppl who’ve not been through just can’t understand.
As I was saying to a friend who’s struggling to conceive just now it’s ok to feel the pain ❤️
On a positive note though I’ve been through the nhs fertility clinic system and actually once you get seen things do move at a decent pace and they are very thorough so here’s hoping your area doesn’t have a long waiting list and you get some news soon 🤞
Ps my number is 07949418569 if you’re still starting a WhatsApp group. Feel free to drop me a wee message anytime you need to chat.

[Boo2020]

Hey ladies, hope you are both doing ok? Well I went for my appointment at the doctors, filled her in with where I am at with my cycles, mmc and ovulation and she's referred me to the fertility clinic (NHS) so it's now just a waiting game for a letter to be sent to me (God knows how long that's going to be, but hoping and praying its soon) She basically said they will either do further investigations or put me on clomid etc..
Its coming upto 2 years next month of TTC with 2 mmc (well a pregnancy in a unknown location) and I'm just getting fed up now, it's so hard with so many people getting pregnant around me, sometimes you just feel like a failure xx

[Boo2020]

@Danni2020 ahh hope your feeling ok now though after covid!?..not long to go with IVF now..

My number is 07806 502351..I will start the group if you want, just send me your numbers 😊..

Oh @ange211 😢...im on day 30 and I don't think I've ovulated again this cycle, to be honest I don't think I've ovulated since having that injection! I've made a appointment with the doctors for this Friday and I'm hoping they give me clomid 🤞🏾xx

[Ange211]

@Danni2020 I highly recommend a therapist. I saw one after 2nd MC and it helped me soooo much to deal with my secondary infertility diagnosis x

[Danni2020]

Hello ladies sorry I haven't been on here for ages and thought I would pop back on to see how things are going. I see we are all still in the same place. I was supposed to start my IVF last cycle but ended up getting Covid on the day I was going to start the process typical! So now just waiting to start at the beginning of November. I'm super nervous and just trying not to get my hopes up too much. It would just be amazing if it works.

Hope you ladies are all fine and @Ange211 it seems you have taken a more relaxed approach to everything which I think is the way to go. I wish I could switch off from it all. So tempted to go to a therapist just to talk and let it all out to someone as always feel like no one else would really understand.

@Boo2020 I am happy to be part of a WhatsApp group too if you want. I can keep you all updated with my IVF and probably bombard you with messages as I go really mental in the TWW as it will definitely mean more than it normally does.

[Ange211]

@Boo2020 I don’t really chart but that seems a bit odd….I’m not sure how to interpret that? Just keep dtd to be safe 🤣
Af turned up 5 days late for me - I swear I think I’m peri menopausal 😭 periods getting further apart, boobs are aching from ovulation onwards & the sweats oh my I’ve never had anything like it!
@Danni2020 how you getting on? 🤞🤞🤞

[Boo2020]

Haha that made me laugh @Ange211 'popping them out annually until you get a football team 🤣'..

I love a good walk! We're lucky enough we have the peak district on out doorstep!..

Yeah not bothered either way, either WhatsApp or messenger group! We can wait until we here off @Danni2020..

Well I'm apparently 2dpo and I get this chart 🤔 not sure now if I ovulated and I'm trying to ovulate again..this charting really is tiring 😔 xx

[Ange211]

@Boo2020 I’d be up for either that or a WhatsApp group chat?
I’ve made my peace with it now. A large family may just not be on the cards for me. I have 2 beautiful boys who I’m eternally grateful for but it’s time to just get on and live my life. Ttc is all consuming and I’m just exhausted by it now. When I had my first I was so sure I’d just be popping them out annually until I got a football team 🤣 but it just wasn’t to be.
As a family we’ve taken up hillwalking and now Angus is 4 we feel we can go on and do bigger hills maybe even a Munro or two so I’m just focusing on the positive as I definitely couldn’t do that if I was pregnant! X

[Boo2020]

@Ange211 fingers crossed, I really hope its positive news for you🤞🏾..

Knowing you have give yourself a cut off must be so hard 😔..

I was thinking @ange211 @danni2020 what do you think about setting up a Facebook group just the 3 of us?! That's if you are both on there, I'm thinking it might be easier for us to communicate xx

[Ange211]

@Boo2020 so funny I was just popping on to see how you & @Danni2020 were!
I’m about halfway through the tww - no symptoms either way but we’ll see. I’m giving it until Xmas and if I’ve not conceived by then I’m going for the jag (while I work on dh to get the snip) I’m going to be 39 next week & I just think I need a cut off.

[Boo2020]

@Ange211 how are you? sorry to hear that 😔..im out too and I am pretty sure I didn't ovulate that cycle! CD7 for me today! Fingers crossed we get lucky this cycle ...

How are you doing @Danni2020? Xx

[Ange211]

AF reared her ugly head yesterday 😭
Horrifically heavy today and feel like my insides are falling out just to compound my misery!
Hope you both have a more successful cycle than me 🤞

[Boo2020]

@Ange211 yes try not to test until then I think...it looks so promising 🤞🏾...

Absolutely get that g&t down you 😂 and enjoy the weekend 🥂 xx

[Ange211]

@Boo2020 I am pretty early..Ovia hasn’t got me testing until Thursday 🤣
I’ll try my hardest not to use my other frer until then (who am I kidding 🤣🤣🤣)
Think I’ll have a couple of g&t’s since the test was inconclusive 🤔
