I don't think I have everyone tagged so please pop yourselves in xx

@Firevie thank you 😘 how are you? X

@Tink20058 oh no!! Are you on bedrest? I'm sorry that you've had to be in hospital, has the bleeding stopped now? Definitely take lots of care of yourself and baby, hopefully you are being really well looked after. I'm okay, just feeling overwhelmed atm, Bella is okay bouncing her way through life causing destruction everywhere, haha xx

@2alreadywantanother I take evening primrose oil capsules and GF juice is grapefruit juice it helps with EWCM. As sometimes I don't get loads it really helps! I think lots have DTD just after bleeding has stopped or ttc before their next period. Lots have ovulated before their next proper period as you can normally count 1st day of surgery as CD1 if that makes sense Xx

@VP91 yes I get u. Much keep an eye. Ah ass juice lol what we call it on another chat. Took it the month I got bfp. Must get some x

Hello ladies, I've been very quiet for a while as I'm really trying to not think about ttc too much this cycle and just relax a bit more. I can't catch up on everything I've missed but just wanted to pop on to say hope everyone is well 💖. Sorry to all of the newcomers and congrats on bfps!

@MrsK21 So happy for you lovely 💕💕 huge congrats 🌈🥳 xxx

I'm around 8dpo today (didn't opk this month so can't be certain) but I'm trying to focus on work and not think about tww so much as I usually get so hung up every month. Good luck and lots of baby dust to everyone this month xxx

Thank you Ladies!! @VP91x @HappyVibes so they told me that I should get AF soon (I have no idea when though because my cycles have been all over the place). I've been cramping like a teenage girl these past two days 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ so perhaps it will be soon! They said that if I don't get AF in a week, I can do another round of Prometrium, but will have to wait for the Hcg to leave my system first.

@2alreadywantanother haha ass juice. Not a fan of it then? I really like it!! Yeah it really does help!

@Rainbowhope11 would they do another blood test before giving you the prometrium if AF doesn't arrive too make 100% sure levels weren't rising? Xx

@Northernsoul90 alot of us are in the same position this month not being on here much. Hope you are okay, fingers crossed for you this month ❤️

@VP91x yes, the nurse said that they would probably need to repeat the test before giving me the prometrium Xx

@Rainbowhope11 ah okay that's good! Hope you're feeling okay xx

@2alreadywantanother I had a d&c and started trying once the bleeding had stopped, it was less that tens days. I got my af 28 days exactly after the d&c so thought great, cycle straight back on track but since then it has varied so I’m hoping my body is still just settling down after it.

@Northernsoul90 it's so great to hear from you lovely and thank you 💕
I've thought about you a lot this cycle and I wasn't on much either, it definitely helped relax the approach a bit.
I hope rest of your TWW goes quick and got all my fingers and toes crossed for you 🤞🏽 xxx

@sully84 that's what I'm afraid of too. My cycles going haywire

Ah @Northernsoul90 we are TWW buddies again eek. Currently 7DPO. I’m doing the exact same and trying to be relaxed too and not get overly encompassed by it all (as hard as that is ofc). Good luck lovely. 💓

Good luck to all in the TWW

hey everyone! can i join in? i found this thread a couple of days ago and it's been so nice (i guess nice isn't the right word, comforting?!) to read about other people going through the same thing. I had a MMC in august with my first pregnancy (i had some bleeding at around 6 weeks, went in for a scan and there was a solid heartbeat but a large SCH, went back for a check-up scan at almost 9 weeks but the embryo had stopped growing about a week and a half before :( ), and had an erpc two days after the scan.. and we've been TTC ever since the bleeding stopped! the first month was really tough - i'd find i would cry randomly at any TV show that had a baby in it (turns out babies are everywhere after you miscarry!?) but i'm feeling much more optimistic about things now.

i'm usually really regular at 28 days, but my first cycle since was almost 6 weeks long. I had quite a lot of ewcm earlier with some flecks of spotting earlier this week at around CD13/14 so i think (who knows without properly tracking) i ovulated and my cycle's getting back on track and i should now be in the TWW. We've dtd every day since last tuesday so hopefully that's enough..!

anyway i just wanted to say hi - and congrats to anyone who's recently got a bfp and hoping everything goes well! and it's nice to be here! (sorry for the long message!!)

@MichT4 hello lovely. Apologies I didn't get back to your response. Loved the pic of your pup. I'm sure Loki is distracting you nicely from the emotions of ttc but it's also so good to hear you've taken a step back, looking after your well being on this, sometimes awfully painful, journey. I hope all your bloods went well, I think you'll have your day 21 bloods soon from my rough calculations, so good luck with that!
You asked about my fertility appointment... it went really well, she was really lovely and reassuring. She had looked over my blood results and after going through an extensive back ground analysis on myself and my OH, she confirmed that she had no concerns about our fertility, and said she would expect a couple with no fertility concerns (us) to become pregnant within a year of trying. For peace of mind, she did suggest I get a scan and AMH bloods and was looking in to booking me in for those. She also mentioned that I should bring my fertile window forward. I told her that as I ovulated around day 16/17, I was opening my fertile window at day 12-19 and she advised we open it from days 10-16. As I was on CD9 at the time of the appointment, we got right to it! 😂 and low and behold, yesterday, at 10DPO with a 3pm wee, I got my BFP. It's a faint line, and I'm hoping that's only due to the timing etc... I will be testing again in a couple of days but trying to keep positive while remaining cautious at the same time. It really couldn't have come at a better time for me, my due date would have been tomorrow 😞 and because of that, i knew getting a negative would make the 'anniversary' all the worse.
I just want to say that you, along with the other ladies on here that I remember and spoke to often... @VP91x @Pugprincess have been so amazingly supportive and I'm sorry I took myself away over the last few weeks to gather myself together. The immense grief at the end of every passing cycle just all got too much. For now, I can only hope that this longed for little bundle of love is snuggled up and safe until I can see for sure ❤️

@Jazper this is amazing news to read! Congratulations lovely! I look forward to checking in on the progression of those lines. Just amazing! Sending you so much love 🥰🥰 xx

Also, don't apologise for being away, we have all had to do that I think, and it looks to have worked perfectly which is the most important thing

So happy for you xx

By the way @Jazper, 10dpo and a mid afternoon wee, that's a great line ❤️

Ladies I need some advice. I’ve had a period since my mmc. After a 40day cycle I eventually started af. Currently cd3 but this period is different In that my period seems to be very slimy and stretchy like ewcm is mixed In. Has anyone else had this? Sorry tmi but I can’t find an answer really on the internet. Thanks in advance ladies x

Thank you so much @MichT4 , I really do hope you're right about the line and it's a sticky baby. And thank you for your understanding 🥰

@Runnergirl1 my first two periods post loss were strange, strange in that the blood was so dark and slimy... almost like syrup. If that helps? Your body has been through so much. I was so impatient to just have a normal period. It will regulate x

@VP91x not on bed rest I’m just taking it easy and getting well looked after by family ❤️❤️ They have given baby steroids to mature her lungs just Incase I have another bleed and she comes early, but hopefully she will stay in a while longer yet xx

@Jazper omg amazing news!! So so happy for you :)
Taking a step back has definitely seemed to help! Amazing that you got that at 10DPO as well ☺️ wishing you a healthy 9 months and the timing has been amazing before your other due date 🌈 x

@MrsK21 thank you so so much! And you recently got your bfp too! Huge congrats back. Scrolled back and yours was such an impressive line! Well done for holding out until 14dpo 😝 xx

@Jazper thank you for that. Congrats on the bfp. Hope you have a lovely healthy 9months and get your rainbow baby. How long ago did you have your mc if you don’t mind me asking? X

Thank you @Runnergirl1 So sorry for your loss and I hope things settle for you very quickly.
My mc was in Feb. It was my 7th cycle of trying xx

@Jazper I was wondering where you went to and you come and surprise us with the most amazing news. That's so fantastic to hear! Wishing you a happy and healthy 9 months xo

Can I ask, did your doctor say it's best to have sex every day for the 5-6 days leading up to ovulation? I think maybe that's where I've been going wrong. I'll try the Jazper method next month! Lol

Aww @chloedancer897 what a really lovely message. Thank you 😍
Yeah, I had to just try to pull myself away a bit. I did keep popping on and have a quick scroll through, to keep my eye on you all #stalker 😂 but no, at the end of every cycle I was an emotional wreck... the emotions didn't stop, but I did become less 'obsessive' over ttc...
The fertility specialist told me to bring my fertile window forward (but she said every 2-3 days) so that 'there are lots of little sperm in there waiting for the egg'. Maybe it was coincidence, but we dtd cd 10, 11, 12 and 13. Going off ovulation pain, I ovulated around day 15 so I was certain we'd missed it but apparently not 🥰
We're waiting on results from a semen analysis done last week too... 😂 as a side note, when doing the semen analysis, they were insistent that ejaculation hadn't happened 48 hours before doing the test so this is clearly when the best sperm are yielded. Xx
