Feels very weird to say this line but, sorry about the bfp @Amy00 its very cruel. Hope all settles quickly to let you get onto a new cycle and so you don't need surgery.

@Minster2012 of all the times for it to happen!!! 🤦‍♀️ It seriously could only happen to you! Hope all is still ok and all your rough times are coming just now so that once you get pregnant you have a nice smooth sailing pregnancy to make up for it.

2alreadywantanother · 29/09/2020 06:53

Hey ladies, just checking in.

so my D&C went as well as it could.
No pain at all. Very light bleeding (still there) but I feel ok.
Just waiting out the 2 wks b4 we can actually have sex again. But I feel ready.
My friend that went through the same 3 wks b4 me had an awful time (I'm only hearing now) killer with cramps and heavy bleeding. Then got an infection, so I'm grateful that didnt happen me.
I may stock up on ovulation sticks and pregnancy tests again 🙈
Boots had but 1 get 1 free on vitamins online the other day, so got proceive and pregncare.

I'm ready to start again.
Hope ur all doing well.

Franklydear · 29/09/2020 07:40

Oh no @Minster2012 holding your hand, you too @Amy00, hope it gets sorted soon
@2alreadywantanother hugs
@lucyrp ..... 🤦🏼‍♀️

Minster2012 · 29/09/2020 07:46

I know right @lucyrp don't worry I know what you mean! It's my understanding that if you don't know the length of your cycles you would always have to go for your bloods on day 21 anyway as a starting point. So please try not to stress too much & let's just see what it says as a first point lovely.

@DKDK123 you gotta laugh right! 😂

@2alreadywantanother hey welcome back! So pleased it went ok for you and you are back with your positive mindset, onwards & upwards ❤️

Amy00 · 29/09/2020 08:45

@Minster2012 oh noooo what a time for it to happen!! And you've been so careful for so long!! Argh. Well as you say, nothing you can do about it now - put it to the back of your mind!

@2alreadywantanother glad to hear it went ok. 💜 I'm a bit worried my medical mc hasn't worked properly - 3 weeks on and still got a positive test. Also had to go through the mega cramps and heavy bleeding like your friend. The lady at the EPU said waiting another week doesn't increase risk of infection but I'm still a bit worried. Just have to wait I guess. Want to just draw a line under it! I've also stocked up on preg tests, ov tests, all the vitamins- raring to go!!

@lucyrp I'm sure you don't have a massive vagina 😂 I think femometer is really hard to read, I prefer FF even though it looks so old fashioned I find it much easier to see the rises and falls so maybe try that?

Minster2012 · 29/09/2020 08:53

@Franklydear thank you gorgeous!!

It was the last bonk for a week or so, so it was obviously a ferocious one and literally his knob came through the end 😂😳 you literally couldn't write it!! Kind of funny in a not funny way!!

@Amy00 I really hope you get resolved soon, I too had the heavy cramping & bleeding, crawling around on the floor so I totally know your pain & had bleeding off and on randomly fir weeks but I got the negative , I was thinking god it it's positive that would really be the f ing piss. But we are here for you

Katao · 29/09/2020 08:59

@Minster2012 sods law is right! Would an opk tell you anything or is it pointless with all the hormones you are on?

@lucyrp uh that's a pain. Just wait and see. My bloods were fine 2 days after spotting and progesterone cameback really low but doctor want to re do them because of the spotting.....so more waiting.

@2alreadywantanother glad youare feeling ready to try again. Hope all goes well for you in the next couple of weeks.

@Amy00 it must be horrible seeing that bfp. Hugs x

Katao · 29/09/2020 09:00

*done not fine.
I wish 😂

SarahTTC2020 · 29/09/2020 09:09

@Minster2012 his knob came through the end 🤣🤣🤣 crying!!
Please tell me you are keeping a journal of all this?! It would make a cracking blog/book some day. I'm sure you'll be ok 🙏 just try and refrain today yes? You little sex minx

Franklydear · 29/09/2020 09:18

@SarahTTC2020 actually I am thinking if I wanted to go journo, I got plenty of material from us alone...🙈😱

lucyrp · 29/09/2020 09:28

@Minster2012 yeah I'm trying not to worry too much and even if ovulation has moved fingers crossed I'm still in for a short cycle this time!

@Amy00 OH doesn't think so so doesn't seem that way😂 il attach my FF one, don't take any notice of the triangles for time etc because I just added them all at once to see the difference between fermometer,

@Katao its all a bloody waiting game isn't it! So annoying

Juno231 · 29/09/2020 10:20

@lucyrp yeah ignore femometer, that looks bonkers!

11DPO and BFN - looks like that nosebleed was a fluke and I'm looking at cycle 10 now instead! Can't wait for OH to get that SA as I'm convinced something isn't right.

lucyrp · 29/09/2020 10:22

Would help if I attached it wouldn't it!

Juno231 · 29/09/2020 10:33

@lucyrp yeah lucy I'm sorry but I think I maintain that your temps don't show a temp shift and therefore is anovulatory so far... I'm intrigued to see what your day 21 test says though.

OP posts:
Minster2012 · 29/09/2020 10:42

@SarahTTC2020 they were bloody durex ultra thin that might be why!!

@Katao I think an OPK would make me more stressed and Leon not give an accurate result so meh I'm not going to cancel tomorrow anyway so best to try and forget

@lucyrp I'm just still hoping your bloods show a good result and this cycle is a good one and back to normal or BFP ❤️🤞🏻

@Franklydear that's a brilliant idea, we should be writing a secret MN Blog I've often considered "the diaries of a very faulty human" 😂

lucyrp · 29/09/2020 10:50

@Juno231 okay thanks, yeah me too

@Minster2012 thank you, I really am too💔 wish they were quicker than a week 🙄

2alreadywantanother · 29/09/2020 10:59

@amy00 did u have a d&c? I was told to 2 wks before having sex to allow to heal 😥 my sex drive would normally be high so I'm mad horny now and poor DH is too. (Poor f*cker wont last a min when we do) 🙈
I wasnt told to test for negative either. I understand why they do but seeing a bfp when you know its not is hard to deal with too. God its not like we dont go through enough. Rang to cancel my 1st antenatal appointment and she asked me why I was cancelling 🤔 like seriously why else would people be cancelling. But I managed to say it without crying.
Meeting my friend for breakfast tomorrow. (Going through the same thing) in a way it's nice having that someone close to chat to about it. Shit shes going through it too but glad to have her if that makes sense.
Finger and toes crossed we will both be glowing with bumps in a few mths 🥰

Amy00 · 29/09/2020 11:18

@lucyrp I'm not sure I can see an ov pattern either, unless it is the dip on CD17? It's not obvious though - could either be a dodgy thermometer or interrupted sleep, or maybe no ovulation yet? Or could be just that temping doesn't work so well for you - it doesn't work for everyone. Fingers crossed this is a normal cycle!!

@2alreadywantanother they gave me a pill and shoved a pessary up me. They are saying they aren't really offering surgery due to COVID, it's probably different policies in different areas. They said no sex until I stopped bleeding, which took about 2 weeks - honestly I was gagging for it at the end of the 2 weeks!! We were naughty as well as we got a bit carried away one morning like 2 days before we were allowed, and OH slipped it in and immediately I was panicking about infection which quickly put an end to that! When we could finally do it we had an all day bangathon and it was THE BEST 🍆

Yeah I had to ring to cancel my appointment, and also a few days later got a letter with my 12 week scan date, had to ring to cancel that. Awful. It's just one thing after another. Hoping soon we will both be merrily ovulating and back into the TWW - can't even hope for the next BFP yet, it actually terrifies me this will happen again 😫😢

2alreadywantanother · 29/09/2020 11:23

@amy00 I hear u huni. As much as I want this I'm so scared of it happening again. I know people go on to have successful pregnancies after a mc but it's so hard not to worry.
The pill was an option here but I was told by a few not to get it. I'm glad I chose d&c as it was quick and I was okay after it.
I remember u getting ur bfp too. Mad how things can change in a flash. Hopefully we will be back on the bfp bus soon ❤

lucyrp · 29/09/2020 11:46

@Amy00 I did say to @Juno231 about it not being for me but she said it's fool proof so I'm not sure 🙈I clearly don't understand temping that well as I thought it was really obvious that ovulation was on CD17 ..🤷🏼‍♀️ I temp every day at 6-6.30. My thermometer is only 4 months old so it can't be broken

notyetamumbuttrying · 29/09/2020 13:08

@Juno231 sorry for the bfn. Has he booked the SA yet? I was like you back at 9 months of ttc and just knew something had to be wrong. And it was Dh...
@Minster2012 eek to your accident but lol to the ferocious shag!! Hopefully everything works out well still.
@2alreadywantanother and @Amy00 so sorry to hear what you're both going through 😢

Juno231 · 29/09/2020 13:13

@notyetamumbuttrying yeah it's at the end of Oct. Tbh I wish he'd just book it privately so it's done much sooner but he is not in a rush about this at all lol.

@lucyrp I mean considering your cycles have been very odd for several months now I reckon it's less likely that it's the temping going haywire :( Silver linings wise - if you're not ovulating then it could be a fairly straightforward thing for the gp to get back on track and then you're ready for that BFP

OP posts:
Katao · 29/09/2020 14:25

@Juno231 sorry about the bfn. Any af signs or are you holding out a bit of hope still?

@lucyrp the confusion never ends! If your bloods don't come back promising definitely press forsome intervention. You've been @limbolucy too long 😥

Juno231 · 29/09/2020 14:31

@katao other than some cycles having my temp/rhr dropping ahead of AF I don't get any AF signs really. So I'm always blissfully unaware until the day it hits. What CD are you now?

@Minster2012 when this week is it you're have the embryo implanted? I think your TWW will the most monumental we'll have had so far on all these buses - no pressure but we're so excited for you! Also your bath.... man that gives me bathroom envy.

@Katao I know right I've just been to the loo and I've had quite a bit of brown CM 🤷🏼‍♀️ LIFE is full of mysteries
