@KateColx Oh wow I missed your BFP!!! Congratulations 💕💕

Missgoldilocks · 22/09/2020 09:45

@lucyrp I know its so shite!! X

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 09:46

I can imagine @lucyrp 😭

@Missgoldilocks it's dog shit babe! 🥺

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 09:48

@notyetamumbuttrying he's already 5 and will be 6 in April! By the time I get a baby he'll be about 10 at this rate ! X

@Missgoldilocks I'm feeling very angry today 🤣

Minster2012 · 22/09/2020 10:18

@lucyrp when are your bloods? I think it's best that OH is none the wiser what day it is. Mine lives his life life that anyway not for TTC but for life 😂

@Missgoldilocks damn it!! The weekend starts at Thursday right??

@Runnergirl1 everyone has their fingers crossed your cycle isn't too whacky 🤞🏻

@2alreadywantanother push for the progesterone and aspirin definitely and good luck for everything else, we are here for you lady xxx

@Flittingaboutagain sounds like you've got it sorted!

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 10:22

@Minster2012 they are next Monday, then have to wait a week for my results 😭 he knows I take my temp and do opks but I haven't really spoken to him about it this time 😂

Minster2012 · 22/09/2020 10:39

@lucyrp I think that's a good approach this month and we will all hope that you have a good cycle, Keep with the fun intimacy & your bloods will show that you have ovulated then at least you know you are back on the right track so fingers crossed - keep going girl & keep enjoying it xx

Missgoldilocks · 22/09/2020 10:43

@lucyrp tell me about it, my boy is 9 😵😭 and I feel so annoyed by it all!! At this rate he really will be 10 when I have another maybe even 11 😬😬😬😬😬

notyetamumbuttrying · 22/09/2020 10:47

@lucyrp aww well hopefully not! My sister has two boys and they have a 10 yr age gap. Big bro dotes on him, it's so cute!
@Missgoldilocks he'll be a great big bro when it happens, honestly. It'll be ok ladies xx

DKDK123 · 22/09/2020 10:52

Thinking of you @2alreadywantanother sending big hugs. Id be interested to know about the aspirin too if you get any info. I wonder if it would help with CPs as I've had 3 of those this year, this cycle is our last try before the docs so if they tell me about asprin I'll let you know.

Sorry about your bfn @Missgoldilocks I've been feeling that fed up whats the point way this cycle too. I dont think people realise emotionally how much ttc can take its toll.

@notyetamumbuttrying Dont give up hope there may have been a wee tough one hiding at the end reminding itself its a marathon not a sprint so it was jsut pacing itself for the long journey ahead 😉

Hopefully they get your bloods right this time @lucyrp! I know how you feel about the age gap, I always wanted only a 1-2year age gap between mine and now that hes about to turn 3 the thought has crossed my mind do I give it a time-limit of when I stop like another year tops as I dont want the gap to be too big. I know older siblings can be amazing (there's a 10year gap between me and my brother and we got on amazingly), I just always wanted two quite close together.

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 10:54

@Minster2012 I am thinking about whether I should take a break from here because I'm not really contributing much and I have nothing to report. Can't really class myself as ttc.

@Missgoldilocks I originally thought I wanted a 2 year age gap between my children and that didn't happen. Would have been the wrong time anyway but 5 years was more than enough but now its getting far too much.

@notyetamumbuttrying ☹️☹️

2alreadywantanother · 22/09/2020 10:57

@dkdk123 thanks huni.
From what I gather it thins the blood and prevents it clotting which can cause ms I think. The progesterone thickens the lining of ur uterus helping you conceive and helping the baby grow.
Not even sure if my gp can prescribe them I may have to go to a fertility consultant

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 10:58

@DKDK123 I feel really selfish aswell because I wanted to have had the baby by May/ June time so that our plans for next summer could go ahead but at this rate Everutning will be messed up and I'll still be TTC with nothing to look forward to ! It's just upsetting that it will be a bit age gap

DKDK123 · 22/09/2020 11:08

You need things to look forward to, dont think your thinking selfish @lucyrp I remember way back when we started over a year ago having some months where I thought I secretly hope I don't get pregnant this month as the timing for the birth would clash with something I had planned.......now I'm at the stage of just give me my baby any time and ill take it 😂
And dont leave the group, your chat is just as valued whether its about ttc or not!

lucyrp · 22/09/2020 11:19

@DKDK123 I was supposed to be going to a festival this year and on holiday and neither happened and instead my friend got pregnant too. I kind of think I'm going to still be TTC next year so maybe il still end up going to the festival 😂

Chlo2701 · 22/09/2020 11:31

@2alreadywantanother hope it all goes ok for you. My friend told me yesterday that she had 2 miscarriages before she had her first child. & she said she was told to take 75mg of low dose aspirin everyday. So for her next 2 pregnancies she did that & didn't miscarry.

@Missgoldilocks sorry about the shitty BFN😣

@lucyrp noooooo you can't take a break, you do contribute & you would be missed!

So my step brother rang this morning, they had a gorgeous baby boy last night! I'm happy for them but selfishly a little sad for myself as I only stopped bleeding from my loss on Friday.

Katao · 22/09/2020 11:33

Aw @lucyrp don't think like that. If you are getting something out of the group then stay. Thereare afew of us coasting along here with fuckall going on 😂 only take a break if that's what feels right for you.

Katao · 22/09/2020 11:36

@Missgoldilocks sorry about thebfn
@Chlo2701 oh that's rough timing, can't be easy. Perfectly understandable to feel both happy and sad.
@2alreadywantanother all I can offer is a virtual hug. Definitely do discuss it with your doctor, no harm .

2alreadywantanother · 22/09/2020 11:37

@chlo2701 just a pity it wasn't recommended before my mc.
Reading up, women with high blood pressure in previous pregnancies, over 40 or with a high BMI should be taking it. That's me. Just hard to think all might be okay if God been on it from the start. Gona speak ho my gp about it, once I've the info of she wont prescribe I'll take myself. But I'll make that clear to her. So it's in her interest to.work with me here

Runnergirl1 · 22/09/2020 11:59

Thank ladies. I don’t know whether to ring docs or just keep riding it out. My Cm has remained creamy as well not dried up yet which I don’t understand. I hope it’s not too late 🤦🏼‍♀️

Minster2012 · 22/09/2020 12:56

@lucyrp it's definitely not selfish to think like that and only leave the group if you feel like you really have to, we ❤️you here & who knows this one could be the one? Your cycles may fall back in line & all be ok, I'm with the "what they fuck is my body doing" gang and is old gals need some good news! Me & @Katao & @Franklydear need some rear end bus company if you 'scuse the pun

@Runnergirl1 you could always phone them & see what they say it's not going to do any damage they might have some advice

@Chlo2701 that's really bittersweet sending you massive hugs and totally understandable it will take time to heal & I found it hard a lot

Flittingaboutagain · 22/09/2020 12:57

Regards the low dose aspirin. Do you or your docs think you have lining or clotting issues? I don't know much about it but on the miscarriage forum there are women there who have been told that if you don't have a clotting or lining thickness issue (or other medical reason why you can't keep a sticky bean) not to take it.

Hope you get some answers though.

Katao · 22/09/2020 13:11

🤣🤣🤣 @Minster2012 you really have a way with words!

@Juno231 Hi I'm due to test on the 29th my birthday hoping for a BFP! Few symptoms but not looking into them this month 🤣

DKDK123 · 22/09/2020 13:21

Held my wee for another shot as despite the negative this morn I had that niggley feeling again that it was wrong. I just got a very faint positive on both an IC & FR! Really trying not to get my hopes up too much as I've been here 3 times and not made it past the 6 week mark but keep holding onto the thought that maybe just maybe its my time for a sticky bean? Keep everything crossed for me please ladies that its not going to be so cruel to throw a 4th CP at me.......unfortunately tho we all know in this ttc journey life isn't a fairytale and can indeed be very cruel.
