@Rainbowhope11 oh no I’m really sorry to hear this 😦 really had my hopes up for you. Good luck for the clomid cycle if this isn’t it 🤞🏻

Rainbowhope11 · 30/09/2020 21:20

@Pugprincess thank you! I didn't think it would work first try so at least I'm not completely shattered by this news. I'm not sure if it's just leftover Hcg or I've had a second miscarriage now 🙈 I'll have a glass of wine to take my mind off things tonight xx

VP91x · 30/09/2020 21:21

Hey ladies,

Just popped back on here to see how these were going.

@Rainbowhope11 I am so so sorry that things aren't progressing that is so annoying as those tests were 100% getting darker it almost doesn't make sense!? Did they say anything after they gave you your results? It sounds like such a long time for the hcg trigger shot to stay in your system.

@MrsK21 I'm so bloody happy you got your BFP ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@Mommybear05 I have thought of you every time I've uodated the threads, nice to see you on here again although I'm sorry it is not in better circumstances. Definitely push for further investigation with the spotting, did you book the scan privately? Sending you lots of love x

I hope everyone else is ok? I have had a very quick skim read xx

Ladies I’m 2dpo, couldn’t convince OH to DTd today lol! We have done it every day for the past five days and today he really didn’t want to lol instead we have put in my first progesterone capsule which I’ve seen is only 100mg so hopefully it’s light enough to thicken my uterus lining and helping my egg implant
I’m going to the office tmr which will hopefully take my mind of TWW a little lol xxx

Rainbowhope11 · 30/09/2020 21:43

@VP91x I know!! Unless it's just my bad luck that my body takes such a long time to metabolize Hcg. Urrrgh! The nurse just said that she was so sorry that the levels look like they are dropping. She asked if AF has started and I said no, she said that I should start in a couple days. I have cramps on and off for the last few days so maybe it is going to start? I'm just hoping it's not going to be a long drawn out process for me until I can start my next round of Clomid.

How are you doing lovely? What's happening on your end?

VP91x · 30/09/2020 21:47

@Rainbowhope11 so weird that the tests were getting darker though. Ugh, I really am sorry. Hopefully everything resets soon so that you aren't left in a super long transition between cycles. So glad the clomid did work for you though.

I am on CD14 still waiting for a peak on OPKs. Today they got a tiny bit darker so maybe, maybe something will happen soon. Although my CM has been super scarce this cycle, I heard this can be a clomid side effect xx

Rainbowhope11 · 30/09/2020 22:16

@VP91x haha I know, really weird unless they read me someone else's test results😂 (wishful thinking here)

Ooh exciting! Fingers crossed that you get your peak soon! Oh yes I heard that too! Have you been doing the grapefruit juice still?

MrsK21 · 30/09/2020 23:03

Thank you @Sully84 @Tink20058 @VP91x I'm just taking each day as it comes for now ☺️

So nice to hear from some of the ladies from the older threads as well, I often think of those who were here when I needed support the most after my mc 💙

@Rainbowhope11 im so sorry the levels have decreased, your tests definitely got darker! Got everything crossed for you on your clomid cycle xxx

Tink20058 · 01/10/2020 07:10

@MrsK21 that’s all you can do is take it day by day it will fly by to your 12 week scan, are you going to book an early one too? Xx

Rainbowhope11 · 01/10/2020 07:31

@MrsK21 Aw thank you! It's so confusing, I'm still a bit puzzled by the darker lines on my hpts, but anyway, on to the next month 😊

Hope you're feeling okay!!

chloedancer897 · 01/10/2020 07:42

@MrsK21 I'm so so happy for you. What amazing news. I hope you're enjoying every second 😊😊😊😊

@VP91x it's so lovely to hear from you. I hope you're keeping ok xo

I'm 11DPO today and decided to take a test as a spontaneously booked myself in for lip filler today lol. I had a dream that I got my two lines and woke up early and deliriously happy. Of course that wasn't the case. The usually one stark line is glaring at me. TTC can be so cruel. When I first woke up, I thought my dream was real and now I'm sitting here on the floor of my bathroom crying. It's an FRER so I'm not fooling myself into thinking it's too early or I'm not out yet. At this point I almost know before starting that it's not going to happen. But this morning I had the slightest glimmer of hope.

So I'm taking a little break from here for a while. I'm sorry. But this rollercoaster of emotions isn't good for me x

VP91x · 01/10/2020 07:43

@Rainbowhope11 will they do any further bloods or are they literally just telling you to wait for your cycle?

Yes, still taking evening primose and gf juice but I forgot until like CD7 so maybe that didn't help either. Ah well, just have wait it out and see if I actually even get a peak! Xx

@Tink20058 hope you and baby are okay lovely xx

VP91x · 01/10/2020 07:46

@chloedancer897 oh, every month I am so so hopeful for you. I'm so bloody sorry it isn't your month, are you just going to wait for AF or do another test just in case?

Sending you so much love, I've been feeling the same in that it has been very overwhelming which is why I have been off the thread. Take the time you need, we will be here if/when you're ready. If I'm no longer on a thread (doubtful, but hey) PM me ❤️

@chloedancer897 each cycle it gets harder doesn’t it. I’ve decided not to early test anymore because of the ongoing emotions it gives. I know you’ve already said you’ve ruled it out but I genuinely think at 11DPO it’s not a 100% cert lovely. I’m trying to be balanced as I do know too, how much of a mind blag it is to have your hopes up to level 10 & then to be knocked. But, honestly lovely, it’s not 100% at this stage. Just be kind to yourself - I agree taking a step back is helpful. I did it at the end of last cycle and felt it did me a world of good. Sending you lots of love 💓

HappyVibes · 01/10/2020 08:26

@Rainbowhope11 huhhh? That has blown my mind! We learn so much through this journey, I’m never certain on any of my views and understanding anymore with this blooming situation. Honestly, I was convinced this was your moment as those lines were 100% without a doubt getting darker.

Are the bloods 100% saying move on to next cycle? Or are they gunna retest, or you retest at all? When is AF due?

Hope youre okay - you do sound like you’ve managed it well but still look after yourself as that whole scenario is undoubtedly a mixture of emotions 💓💓

Firevie · 01/10/2020 08:28

@chloedancer897 oh no hunny sorry to see your message. If you need time to yourself absolutely allow yourself that and take a step back. Sending you lots of virtual hugs
@VP91x good to read from you we have missed you
@Rainbowhope11 hun sorry it’s all so confusing. It’s frustrating isn’t it. Hope you get some clarity soon xxc

Tink20058 · 01/10/2020 08:42

@VP91x I’m ok, just over 25 weeks been put under consultant care now had a bad bleed a couple of weeks ago and was in hospital a few nights, my placenta is in the wrong position so waiting for a scan at 28weeks to see if it’s moved But if not will get a date to start me off they are thinking around 36 weeks so may have a little Christmas baby 🤔🤔 but just taking it really steady and been signed off work a while, the worry is never ending how are you and Bella? Xxx

MrsK21 · 01/10/2020 09:41

@chloedancer897 I'm so sorry for your BFN. I'm so hopeful that one day soon, you will have your rainbow. Please try and keep positive and taking a step back is such a good idea. I did the same this cycle and came off social media as much as possible, it did me a lot of good without the pressure of where others are in their cycle. Please be kind to yourself, give yourself a few days off thinking about TTC and try to think positively going into the next cycle, all my best wishes to you xxx

@Tink20058 Yes I will definitely book an early scan, I can't bear the thought of waiting till 12 weeks to find out what is happening. I'd like to give myself a little milestone midway to work towards.
I hope your consultant is taking good care of you, a Christmas baby would be so so amazing, got everything crossed for you that it all goes well xxx

2alreadywantanother · 01/10/2020 12:42

@chloedancer897 I'm sorry it's a BFN. Take some time off MN and treat yourself. Yes it's a whirlwind of emotions and so unfair.

@rainbowhope11 sorry things it wasnt good news 😥 sending hugs

@VP91x what gf juice and what does it do?

Tomorrow wk be 1wk after my D&C. I've started taking proceive so has DH.
Feeling ready and eager to get back DTD, not just for ttc but to be intimate. I'm mad horny this few days 🙈

Sallyjo27 · 01/10/2020 17:29

@2alreadywantanother both myself and DH take proceive- shocked when I first got them at how expensive they are. Have you found they make your wee bright yellow? (That may be just me though) 😂

Currently on CD 17 waiting to ovulate 😩 last month ovulated on CD17 but usually it’s day 20 so who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️ We’ve DTD every day this week so far just incase. Hope everyone is okay? X

2alreadywantanother · 01/10/2020 17:55

@sallyjo27 actually I noticed today it's a bright yellow lol.
Boots had them for €38 buy 1 get 1 free 🥰🥰 so happy days.

Im waiting the 2 wks after d&c but no longer. Anyone else start ttc before getting period after d&c?

2alreadywantanother · 01/10/2020 20:03

@sallyjo27 ah DH goes to me this evening, eh have you noticed anything taking those vitamins. I burst out laughing and goes bright yellow pee and he started laughing going phew. Its not just me 🤣🤣

RichmondLady1981 · 01/10/2020 20:48

@2alreadywantanother ha! Same we me and other vitamins I take. No I waited a full cycle to get my period first which luckily was only 28 days. The thought of tracking and even DTD was too much. Needed a break from it. But everyone’s different.

@chloedancer897 I really feel for you. Everyone who now has their rainbow baby has been in your/our position and times will be tough, you’ve just gotta dusk yourself down and keep going. It will happen x

@Rainbowhope11 sorry for the tough time you’re going through. X

Sallyjo27 · 01/10/2020 21:01

@2alreadywantanother 😂 it’s like neon yellow! It really worried me the first time I took them. Sorry I can’t help with ttc after a d&c as I never had one. But I my last (3rd) Mc I ended up having the baby removed with forceps as it was stuck in my cervix. It’s been 3 months and now we are ttc again. I think you just need to do what you feel is right for you. I’ve read online that the drs only ask you to wait for 1 period as it’s easier for dating the pregnancy xx

2alreadywantanother · 01/10/2020 21:10

@sallyjo27 u poor thing. That's awful to have to go through.
Yeah I read that. I've to wait 2wks due to the risk of infection. So 1 wk down tomorrow. Will try get as close to fri as possible. Hopefully get a negative test too so I'll know going forward if I get a positive it's a true positive
