Morning all

Thought I'd just let you know I went for my early scan this morning and I'm absolutely heartbroken that there was nothing there 💔! Just an empty sac.

I'm prob gonna come off this and social media for a bit to heal but just to let you all know I'm thinking of you all xxx

I’m so sorry to hear that @Lynne425 Sending you a big virtual hug. Hope you are able to take some time for yourself xx

@Lynne425 Oh I am so, so sorry ❤️ I'm heartbroken for you. We're all here for you if and when you decide to come back onto this. Please look after yourself ❤️ xx

Lynne, I’m so deeply sorry 😞 take all the time you need to heal. Sending you lots of love and well wishes 💐 xxxx

Hey girls just catching up!
@KerryW87 it definitely did! I need to let nature take its course I think and just relax! Let’s see what happens in the next few months. Oh wow everyone is trying to make babies it sounds like!! Well at least there’s not too much of a wait!! And feel hopeful and be positive!!

Hey @8LPS how are you? Ahh it’s another month so I’m feeling more positive now and let’s see what happens! It’s hard for guys isn’t it because they need to perform basically when we say and it must be exhausting for them too. I have no idea about forums but I bet loads of guys don’t even open up about these things. I know my pms symptoms have got much worse since I’ve been TTC. But I don’t know if it’s the vitamins, or me just paying too much attention and because I’m not going to the gym. Usually before TTC I was always in pain from gym. Doing weights etc so my pms symptoms were always superceeded!

Guys I’m going onto the next page so will reply. So sorry if I end up tagging you twice x

Omg @Lynne425 I just saw your message. I am so sorry for you. I am actually heartbroken for you too :( I really wish I could just give you a hug. This has made me so sad. I know you need your time to heal and you absolutely will. Please if you feel down, come on and chat to us. We are all here for you and we feel your pain too xx

@8LPS sorry to tag you again. I literally called the docs one of the days and just said I been trying but nothing for a 6 months (it had actually been 5 months) I miscounted but I’m feeling a bit anxious about it and stressed and she just said we can do some blood tests and it was so easy. I don’t know maybe she felt the panic in my voice x

@Lynne425 I'm so sorry to hear that, I'm heartbroken for you. Please feel free to come back and talk if you have a day where you need some outsiders to listen! 💕

@AKcheer I usually do spot the evening before AF starts, more like a warning sign. Then she comes on full strength the next morning. However it still hasnt started and I'm over it. I called to schedule my hsg because of the spotting and now it's been three days with small spotting and AF cramps just waiting for it to show. Otherwise I'll have to cancel and hope they find me another date.

Omg ladies!!! Spotting and cramps for days now.

Omg @jules5232 this is amazing! Congrats!!! How many dpo are you and how long you been trying for?? I forgot!!! How amazing is this!!

Thanks!! Im so excited but also trying to remain calm until the doctor verifies. Today was 17DPO on cycle 12 (a couple months didnt stand a chance from a UTI/antibiotic I had to take). Been having light brown/very pale pink CM when I wipe off and on since 14dpo with cramps so I've just been waiting for AF to show, everything feels like a normal cycle. Finally cracked today and ran to buy some first response tests and was shocked!!

@jules5232 Aww amazing news! 💕🎉 Congratulations, so happy for you! xx

On a side note - I had a bright red bleed today on CD10. Period ended 5 days ago! Now reduced to just sort of pink/brown tinged CM. Bit concerned 😩 Was a negative ovulation test today and don't usually get a peak until CD13 anyway so can't be linked to that....has anyone had similar and was it anything to worry about?

That’s such exciting news @jules5232 congratulations 🎉!!

@KerryW87 hmm I’ve not had this before but I’ve heard of people spotting a few days before ovulation. Maybe keep an eye on it and see if it’s just a one-off?

@8LPS sorry for breaking in, If the app changes your ovulation day, it is probably you upload a positive ovulation test result in the app and it labels it as an LH peak. Or if you are uploading BBT to the premom app, when the app notices a BBT spike, it will change the ovulation day as well. I might be a little bit more familiar with the premom app, I have been using it for almost a year, just thought I can share some experience with you ladies.

Hey ladies - I’ve not managed to read all your comments as there’s so many of them but is this thread still going?! I hope so, I could do with the mental support!

We’ve been trying for 7 months and I really thought it would have happened by now! I get what you mean by friends around you getting pregnant! I have several friends who are pregnant, not close close friends but one of them started trying before us, I am very happy for her but I am also VERY jealous and frustrated it’s not us pregnant! Also I really want to get pregnant soon as my fiancé’s mum has terminal cancer so I want her to know I am pregnant before she passes...

Hope to hear from you all soon! Much love X

@RedLippyK8 Hi! It sure is, that's what we're here for...I swear this wee group has been a lifesaver when I've been struggling with what feels like the never ending TTC journey!

It's very difficult and really conflicting - you're happy for others but so wishing for that happiness yourself! I had to take myself off social media - I sadly lost my wee boy at 18 weeks in July, since then my sister is due next month, my best friend, another friend and four women at work. So happy for them but it's just too many reminders so was best to come away for a bit!

Oh, that is so awful :( I'm so sorry to hear that, of course that will be an added pressure as you'll so want to share this with your fiancé's mum ❤️ However, please don't give yourself even more stress or pressure than you likely already are - it would be so lovely if you can share this with her but you can only do what you can. Keeping everything crossed for you 🤞xx

Omg @jules5232 that’s so exciting!!! I’m so happy for you!! Keep us posted!!! I like how calm you are and you waited for AF to be proper late before testing!!!

@KerryW87 hey! I haven’t had that at all. I wonder what it is? Was it like spotting? I know some people do get spotting mid cycle?

Hey @RedLippyK8 and welcome! Hahaha this is our 2nd thread as well!! Of course we are still going and having a chat on this!! And when we’re near the end of this we will start another one and tag everyone in!

Ahh I feel you! We’re such a mixed bunch here in terms of how long been trying for but I’m sure everyone is over 5 months!! This will be my 7th cycle trying after AF goes away today! I’m totally with you - I thought it would have happened by now and so many people I know get pregnant in the first couple of months!! It’s so frustrating but we try and we try again!
It is a very difficult journey but all we can do is embrace it and be here for one another! I guess here we just share what we know, have a moan and have a chit chat so please do join us! I’d say us lot are pretty active on this thread as well lol

So tell us about you - age etc? Where about are you in your cycle? Are you using OPKs etc?

Oh gosh I’m so sorry to hear about your fiancé’s mom, that is so sad. I really hope this is your month. Fingers crossed for you!

Oh gosh @Lynne425, I am so sorry and heartbroken for you. I know there is nothing we can say to make it any better. If you do want to come and rant we are here for you! Switching off from TTC for a short while will do you the world of good xxx

Hey again @8LPS, that is exactly it! Genuinely so happy for all my friends but every announcement chips away at my positivity a little bit more. Absolutely, I worry about DH and I have told him he should open up to a friend about it! I told him about one couple we know struggling to TTC, and suggested he talk to that guy about it, he said he would if the moment presented itself.... So obviously he won't! Re your ovulation day, it probably just was 3 days ago (agree with @Louisa199). My app does that too, because it all depends on your BBT it is normal to move around each month. Mine often does it but the other way around, making it later than the app thought.

Also my symptoms are so much more noticeable now!! When I ovulate I feel sick, pee a lot, loss of appetite, cramps. I am sure I never had this before! The first month we TTC I thought I was pregnant because of this ... what a wally.

@jules5232 What!!! OMG this is such wonderful news!! I am so pleased for you!! Okay what did you do differently if anything?! I remember you saying last month you were gunna be more chill about TTC? Did you follow the SMEP of just DTD every other day? xx

@KerryW87 Did you DTD around 10DPO, I had a random bleed after we dtd once, I think it is nothing to worry about xx

Hey @RedLippyK8 yep join us on the ups and downs, the pineapple cores, the ovulation frustration and any other weird chat that comes out of us...

I am on cycle 9 now! Although June to October we just took a relaxed approach, didn't do any temp or ovulation testing, and basically was getting it totally wrong. I don't ovulate until v late (CD 20ish).

I'm 31, DH just turned 36. We are both a little overweight so working on that and reducing wine consumption! I am trying to increase progesterone naturally and we are DTD every other day around ovulation.

Not feeling too bleak this week, AF is finishing so gearing up to try all over again. Deep breaths. xx

Thanks so much @KerryW87 and @AKcheer for replying and being there!!!

@KerryW87 I am so sorry to hear about your boy and since then others becoming pregnant, that’s so sad, I don’t know how you’re coping! You must be so strong!

@Rose2108 Ah yeah we did, the night before! It was our anniversary and so I tried to take all the TTC elements out of the picture - we had a wee wine (a total TREAT since we've cut it out entirely 😂) I bought new underwear and tried to make a whole romantic thing out of it...and the next morning the bleed brought aaall the stress back 🙈 I wonder if it's maybe just one of those things then if you've also had it and it didn't turn into anything worse? Thanks so much!

@RedLippyK8 Ah thank you so much ❤️ l never imagined something like that could happen to me, but it did and I'm lucky to have had supportive family and counselling etc. TTC is a good focus for me but it's very hard when it doesn't work out as soon as you want to...something we can all relate to!

As for the short luteal phase, not something I've experienced but read lots of women who have successfully managed to lengthen their luteal phases with different supplements etc!

Ahh I'm 33 too! I'm in Scotland, whereabouts are you from? xx
