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

Good Morning ladies! Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. Thanks for the new thread @VP91x - how was your weekend? Xx

Ok sorry somehow my page didn’t refresh so hadn’t seen any messages since yesterday 1pm. @VP91x sorry you’re feeling low! If bfn it would suck but you’ll come to be grateful for having ovulated which is a great sign! And you e found your answers so you’re already ahead of the curve! Sending you much love!!!
@Peblet we went to Cape Town, franschoek, Hermanus and Safari in port Elizabeth. It was hands down the best trip of my life. We def want to go back and retire in 30 years haha! Where did you guys go? Xxx

@VP91x sorry you are feeling down lovely. Have you tested again today?
Have you done anything different this month to help you ovulate? Medication? Diet? Xx

Thanks @MinnieMouse4 think I’m just going to try and go with the flow xx

@Firevie oh lovely! Yes it’s a beautiful country isn’t it, my mum and a lot of my family live there so got married in a place called glen Afric about an hour away from joburg then took everyone to the Kruger National Park for a safari xx

@LavenderAndLillies welcome and sorry for your loss xxx

@VP91x

Hello lovely. I just wanted to say I'm so sorry you are getting negative tests. It would be so amazing to hear you have tested today and the result has changed. Fingers crossed for you.
I do still pop on here from time to time but very infrequently now. I did see that you had a scan and it was confirmed you had ovulated and I had such high hopes for you. You must be gutted. I'm so sorry.
Still no news for me either. I handled my negative test last cycle well but this cycle, I cried again. It's just devastating. I am one week in to cycle 7 post mc now. It just feels forever 
My LH/FSH/Estradiol bloods came back as normal, as did my day 21 Progesterone bloods. Have our initial appointment with the fertility specialist tomorrow. If I remember correctly you have an appointment on the same day, or the day after? Thinking of you xx

@MichT4 how are you doing hun? How's the pup settled in?

Hello everyone,

I haven't been here for a couple of weeks and came to check in on how everyone is doing. I have only been able to skim so I hope everyone is ok!

@BEESY90 I am so pleased to hear all is well! It must be so scary when you're bleeding as much as you have experienced!

@Pugprincess Just seen your scan pic! So pleased to hear all is great with you!

@Bl0ndi3 Amazing news! I am SO pleased for you. Congratulations.

@Littlebee1990 @LaMadrilena
Congratulations!! What lovely ways to start a new thread!

So pleased to see more BFPs!

I am ok, 12 weeks now and have my dating scan today, so nervous but also excited xx

@fafi good luck with your scan, please update us ❤️

Sorry for those who had had bfns. I remember the deep disappointment. I would cry. I have a cold and feel exhausted I am still on pjs on the sofa x

Hey @Jazper

I am good thank you, thanks for checking up on me. AF finally arrived Fri/Sat so I am relieved at least for that. I didn't have any symptoms of it, which is what it was like pre MC so I am hoping it's a sign things are back to 'normal'. I have my earl cycle bloods today and then will have my CD21 equivalent after I ovulate (normally late). I also have my appointment with RMC on the 30th so I at least feel that with AF arriving, I am back in with the chance of finding out what's happening, and another shot of catching of course! I need to feel some hope after such a long wait for AF etc - although I do feel good that it arrived. I'm trying to look after myself a bit more, not worrying so much about what everything does to TTC, and just keep distracted from it all (as much as possible!). It was starting to drain on me.

Loki has settled in well. He is still a naughty little thing at times but definitely improving. It's tricky trying to work at home with him, but learning to adapt.

Good to hear your bloods were all as they should be. Let us know how you get on with your appointment. It's comforting to know you are being looked after isn't it. I have everything crossed that there is a nice easy solution, or that they confirm all is perfect and you catch really soon

@fafi good luck with your scan today

xx

@Jazper here he is, little pickle xx

@fafi thank you honey it's still not sunk in yet. I've taken 2 FRERS and can see progression but got another two I'm gonna use tomorrow and Wednesday just to soothe me a little as I've zero symptoms so it doesn't feel real!!!

Got some weeks indicators as well but waiting a little so when I take it I should get 2-3 and then use the other to see 3+ and I think seeing that this time (last time I used 3 and only ever saw 1-2) will be massively reassuring to me!

@fafi I meant to say good luck today and please do update us! Xx ❤️❤️👍🏻

@Jazper I don't even know if my message made sense 😂. I just mean things like, before I fell pregnant first time, I was taking probiotics and just more mindful of looking after myself - eating well, training more etc. I feel like I stopped it all worrying it would hinder our chances and actually I just feel sluggish, bloated and lethargic. So I've decided to get back to it all, a happy mind and body has to help right?

How are you feeling about your appointment? Do you know what they'll do or do you find out it all today?

@VP91x thank you for the new thread by the way, and sorry to hear you have been feeling low. Sending loads of love xx

@Firevie how are you getting on?

xx

Anyone testing soon? What stages you all at?

@RichmondLady1981 I’m on cd6 - hoping the next 6 days whizz by so I can get to my fertile week lol!

@RichmondLady1981 I'm due AF in 2/3 days and have already tested and had BFN so now just patiently waiting for AF to arrive so I can start again. This is cycle 5 for me post MC. Mc was in march this year but didnt get AF until May xx

Aww @MichT4 so so lovely your pup ❤️

@BEESY90 right there with you on the sofa with a cold myself. It’s on my chest now-hurts.

We have now had 5 covid cases at work and 6 classes sent home to isolate. Terrified to be honest. I really don’t want to catch it and risk the high temp during pregnancy. I may have to have a word with the headteacher about my concerns. I’m trying to get a test myself just to make sure this is a cold but it’s proving extremely difficult x

Hey ladies ... long time no speak.

So sorry iv been absent for a while - things have been busy and i havnt had a min, everything is going well with baby so far after the cervical stich i had put in at 13 weeks ... im now 20 weeks... seems to have gone quick when i think about but these next few weeks are terryfying me as i lost bonnie my little girls at 23 weeks in feb 🤞🏻 positive vibes though 🌈 xx how are all of u x

@Bellabubble let’s hope it flies by for you so you can get going! 😉

@KatiePlus3 how many DPO when you tested? Might have been too early? Sorry you had to wait so long for your period post MC. Are your cycle days quite consistent or have they changed a lot? What about your ov day? Is it falling on a similar cycle day to before?

@BEESY90 and @Pugprincess get well soon! That’s a huge amount of cases at school. We haven’t had a single case. Have you been online to check the government legislation about your rights?

@VP91x is it today you went on holiday? If so I hope you have a lovely break xx

Not yet but I will do that now @RichmondLady1981 thank you. I’m calling gp in the morning. I may ask to be signed off x

@MichT4 I'm one day behind you on new cycle. Loki is a cutie ! And what a funny toy, McDonald's fries ☺️

I'm on CD3

@Hayleylou89 wow ! It goes so fast☺️ happy to hear all goes fine and sending you positive vibes for next amazing 20 weeks 😘

@BEESY90 @Pugprincess hoping that's just a cold and goes away ASAP!

Morning!

Any experienced charters out there? Am 8/9DPO and a big BBT drop today. Bit early for AF today I thought but who knows? My last 2 cycles were about 31/32 days long and I’m currently on CD28. Didn’t ovulate till CD 19/20. Natural cycles and PreMom charts attached.

Anyone else had a big drop at DPO8/9?

Hope you’re feeling ok @Pugprincess x

Thanks @HopeForRainbowbaby and @RichmondLady1981 the guidelines seem to be that I can work until I’m 28 weeks as long as my work is taking measures to prevent covid which it is but 5 cases in 3 days and 6 classes eliminated would suggest a danger I think. There’s lots coming out in media about there being no tests etc so I will definitely call gp this morn and see what we can do for my situation. Not slept great again and coughing up phlegm. Starting to lose my voice too. X
