Please tag anyone I’ve missed from the old thread.

I’m currently enjoying my first glass of wine in about 10 weeks. Will happily give up alcohol for a baby but no baby I need alcohol 😂

Really hope that’s the start of a BFP for you @Babyghirl let us know when you test in the morning.

@Annny27 Sorry it looks like AF has arrived.

@Nuggetlover27 Fingers crossed for a positive FW

So I haven't had a period since my surgery at the beginning of Jan... just so I kinda have an idea, how many days from ovulation day should your period arrive?

@Nuggetlover27 massive congratulations 🌈💗 sending lots of love your way

@lozza2206
Depends on the length of the second half of ur cycle but they say it should be no longer than 15 16 days but for most it's norm 14 days it can take anything from 4 to 8 weeks to get ur period back depending on how far along u where and how high and how long it took for ur hormones to settle down. And not everyone ovulates first month after a loss have you done a test after ur loss to get a nagitive result xx

@chali7
I phoned fertility clinic the other day she was leaving a note on Dr tangs desk and going to get him to ring me. Dr also rushing through the rmc for me to so hopefully hear from them to how r you doing xx

I'm good thanks @Babyghirl just nervous and anxious all the time! I don't think that feeling will go away though.

Great to hear they are pushing it through for you! Really hoing you get some answers! How are you keeping in yourself? Xxx

@chali7
I'm one to bounce bck quick most off the time, put a smile on my face and hide wat I'm really feeling tbh I hate feeling weak prop wrong tbh but I'm OK xx

I'm the same, just remember to talk about your feelings if they do get too much ❤ xx

Afternnon ladies :D pretty busy this week which is good in the tww haha!

@Nuggetlover27 nothing too drastic then 🥰 how is your DH feeling? And yeah cramping is super normal even though every pregnant women wishes cramps weren't a thing that happened in pregnancy! You don't need to bother getting a valentines gift for your husband now.....youaregrowing your baby haha

@Babyghirl its totally normal to have up and downs days especially given your 4th loss! Its a hard time :( have you considered speaking to a grief counsellor or similar?

@lozza2206 it depends. My luteal phase (the time after ovulation) is around 14-16 days

@ELM7 yeah deffo call to ask for the specific and even if morphology is low it could just be a one time sample thing like my husbands:)

Do you have any more appointments with fertility? I have one next monday

Thanks for the help 🥰

@Babyghirl thank you, I was 12 weeks along but I got the negative pregnancy test 2 weeks after the surgery. I got a positive ovulation test on cd22 so I think I'm about 13dpo so my period should come this weekend. Hope you're doing ok, this is an emotional rollercoaster, I find some days I get up and think ok I'm happy with my life and I can move on from this and other days hate everyone and wanna cry. I am hoping you will get yourself on track soon xx

Thank you girls for being someone to talk to, I find always talking to my partner everyday kills the fun out of our relationship xxx

@lozza2206
I say to expect it any day nw but hoping it does not come for u 🙏🤞🍀💚 I'm a hate the world at the min anybody that's pregnant I can't stand to be near them or newborns.
@Annny27
Hoping mines comes through very soon as I'm desperate to try again but don't want a 5th miscarriage on my hands hopefully your app is a positive one. 💚
@chali7
Awful feeling feeling so alone. With so many around you. 💚

@Babyghirl I can relate!! The day I found out about my recent one, one of my best friends FaceTimed me telling me she was pregnant with her baby scan picture... I deserved a bloody Oscar for the performance I put on. It's a horrible feeling but it goes and hope comes back. Thanks for the help 🥰

@Nuggetlover27 yes cramps very normal. I've had them with all my successful pregnancies. Such a strong line is a great sign too 🙌🌈

@lozza2206
My bro told me nt long after having my first loss he was having another oner and had him few days after my second loss could nt face meeting him for ages xx

Thank you @chali7 & @lozza2206 💕

@Annny27 glad you have a busy week to hopefully distract you from symptom spotting 😛 DH is sooo excited bless him. He was so happy when the test was positive. I hate that my previous miscarriage has made me not be able to get excited for this pregnancy. Hopefully I will feel better once we've had some scans and know all is okay. Haha yes I won't have to get him anything. I'll tell him me and 🌈 is all the present he gets haha.
Good luck with your appointment next Monday! What is it for?

Thank you for the reassurance @ChampooPapi I really hope these are normal cramps and not miscarriage cramps!

For anyone who wanted to know , the things we did this month:

• DH is on month 3 of wellman and I really think this improved his morphology, obviously I don’t know for definite but they say it takes 100 days for a change to take effect
• I take a tablet daily that contains 400 folic and 10 vitamin D , and that’s all I take. Have also been taking these ones for around 3 months now too. They’re just from boots
• I followed @scrumdiddly123 's dtd plan 😂 normally we dtd every other day but done 2 days at a time , I have attached my chart (I think ov was cd18)
• Both me and DH are non smokers, don’t drink and we cut back on caffeine
• I done ov tests only during fertile week but mainly based my ov prediction on cm

No other differences. I really hope this helps one of you ladies

Sorry @scrumdiddly123 I meant to tag @SunnySideUp2020 in my previous post 🙈

@Nuggetlover27 thank you for the chart and tablets. Might add Wellman to the ones OH is currently taking.

How many dpo are you now @Annny27 - glad you are busy during TWW.

@nuggetlover27
Awful how pregnancy after a miscarriage can leave you, but I have everything crossed this is your rainbow baby on the way 🙏🤞🍀💚

How did i miss that @Nuggetlover27

Amazing bffffffp!!!! 🌈

Congratulations!!!!!!

Thats good to know @Nuggetlover27 if we arwnt successful this month we will do the 2 days on one day off method haha. Always up for trying something new 🤣🤣 my dh took wellman for 3 months and his sperm.improved so its very possible!!!

@elm7 I am 10dpo now but not hopefull. Sucks really! What supplements do you take? I only take seven seas ttc tablets

@Babyghirl yeah deffo if you can avoid a 5th miscarriage and have successful pregnancy that would be amazing! Hope you get appointment through soon

Anyone else freezing their butt off? Haha its sooooo cooooold

@Annny27
Not only is it so cold I think the roof of my house is going to blow off also 😂😂😂😂😂 was going to have a lazy day but I have a wake to go to l8r before the funeral tomorrow so no resting for me x

Just thought I would say I started taking these in August and have falling pregnant twice with them, don't know if it's down to these but with taking a year to fall each time then when I start taking them falling twice in a short space of time xx

Here is our selection of pills! I take the evening primrose oil up to ovulation to help with CM. I was taking the seven seas ttc but am trying Folinic acid instead since the last MC. Do need to look at adding some other vitamins though like Vit D I think.

Really hoping AF doesn’t make an appearance in the next few days @Annny27 - don’t think any month we are hopeful anymore.

Yep bloomin cold here too sat cuddling a hot water bottle.

11dpo and just got first bit of brown spotting - so fed up of this shit. Can't even cry anymore I am just like yeah ofcourse I am out.

Stupidly stupidly thought I would test on Sunday (valentines day) and have a pregnancy test to give my DH for a present and it would be so amazing and cute. Guess not 🤪 got an appointment with fertility on Monday or Tuesday and hopefully get some next step or a plan. I dont want to wait any longer:/

@ELM7 thats a fair chunk of vitamins but hopefully they make you as healthy as possible! Yeah vitamin D is key in the winter and esp with covid so best to add one in :D

@babyghirl thats interesting that you feel twice in a short time taking them! Did you take anything before?

@Annny27 I am in the exact same position! My beloved period started this morning (first one since my surgery)... I didn't even cry like I have before. I had planned to buy the test tomorrow and do it for Valentine's and I was so convinced that all my symptoms meant pregnancy. I thought maybe I would chill for a while after my recent loss but clearly my mind flips straight back to ttc. We will get there! Sending you hugs n love 💕

@Annny27
Nope they r just folic acid but pure folic acid as some people can't break down folic properly. A fertility girl I follow said that folate is better to take as its pure folic with nothing added so started taking it need to get more off them as running love, sorry you starting spotting is this ur first app with the fertility clinic.
@lozza2206
Sorry the witch showed up but now you know your body is getting bck to norm and hopefully ready to hold a pregnancy next month.
Went bck to dtd last nite but as we have said we nt trying again until I get an app so he never finished he said we need to get sorted before we can try as he does nt want me going through that a 5th time 🍀💚
