Congrats to those with BFPs on the last thread there was a lot of you 🥳

Hi and welcome @Loulou237 Lovely to read about your little one, and sorry that you had a MMC. People react differently ... I initially bounced back really quickly and felt fine once I'd had my day of crying and being looked after, and then a few weeks down the line I had processed it more and started to feel really sad. And it is still affecting me, although not as frequently. There's no right way to experience it.

Totally with you on wanting to get pregnant asap again though, and you'll do yourself good not to test too early. We all know the stress that brings x

Welcome @Loulou237 fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻✨

@Loulou237 thank you lovely that is so very sweet of you. Good luck with your journey lovely, sending you all the calm and positive vibes 💫

@RichmondLady1981 your update has made me smile and feel so warm inside. What a magical journey. Wishing you a lovely and calm pregnancy now my lovely 💖

@susiebluebell how are you doing babe & how is your journey? So sorry I have just been in my own little bubble so apologies I have only just checked in on here. So nice to know you’re thinking of us.

Our pregnancy has progressed amazingly so far thankfully, thank you for asking. Currently 19 weeks, with baby GIRL due in September 💖I don’t like to share too much on here about my pregnancy as I know it can be difficult for some to read. However ladies, please see this as hope and faith to carry on! 4 losses and we have made it!!!! Progesterone & Aspirin until 16weeks did the trick thankfully for us this time around. I have strep B and opposite blood to baby but aside from this, so far so good with baby girl all safe and nestled away 🤞🏽💫

Xxxxxx

Welcome @Loulou237 sorry to hear of your recent MMC. I'd echo @susiebluebell comments there's no right or wrong way to feel. I'm 5 months on from my most recent MMC and the sadness still creeps up on my sometimes.

That's fantastic @HappyVibes really pleased to hear that things are going well 😊

Aw @HappyVibes nice to see a success story ✨🤞🏻

Thanks so much everyone, it’s so welcoming in this group

Thank you @susiebluebell yes I feel the same but okay overall. You’re right I guess there’s no right or wrong way to experience it. How is your journey going?

Oh that’s great news @HappyVibes! It’s been so odd reading this thread for so long I feel like I know you all and was desperate for the next update haha. You so deserve this and I hope you’re enjoying pregnancy now you’re a bit further along xxx

Hi all, sorry I haven't been around much been having a bit of a wobble,

@RichmondLady1981 amazing to hear that you fell naturally whilst waiting for the ivf! Congratulations hope everything goes well for you

@HappyVibes so glad to hear everything's going well for you! Such a brilliant story and gives us all hope!

Hello to all the new people, sorry you're finding yourselves here but it's a lovely bunch of supportive ladies

Thanks everyone for your kind words. Early days but I have everything crossed.

@HappyVibes thanks so much. I’m honestly terrified but have to try and think positively. I am so so pleased to hear that all is going well with your pregnancy with a beautiful little girl. I think your story will give so many ladies hope and encouragement so don’t worry about posting. Please do keep us posted in the future! 💕 wishing you so much luck! X

Its me again, if you remember me! Been absent for over a month following mc in February, needed some time to process everything, as some of you may remember I turned 43 last month so its really last chance saloon for me!

I'm cd28 & on cd26 i had a slight bleed, had same thing on my last bfp cycle same day & everything, haven't had any since & me being curious i tested, can you see anything?

@gizmo167. That certainly looks like a BFP to me. Congratulations x

Hope you are ok @Marvellouslymadmum x

@Marvellouslymadmum sorry to hear about your wobble, it's hard to stay positive sometimes 💕

@gizmo167 deffo a BFP - congratulations

Is anyone testing this week? According to my OPKs I'm 9dpo but 99.9% sure I haven't ovulated so was just going to wait until AF shows although got transvag ultrasound next weekend so will probably test Friday just to make sure before 🙄 21 day bloods tomorrow

@bez91. I’m holding off until Saturday if I can. I’m not convinced I ovulated this month as never got peak fertility on opks so don’t want to waste a test. AF due mid week so if not arrived by Saturday then I’ll test. Wishing you luck for Friday 😀

@gizmo167 amazing!! Congrats! That's a strong line on an IC!

@bez91 I'll probably test Thursday/Friday, currently 6dpo but I feel like I'm out no rocketing rhr like I had last BFP so tonight I said screw it had a few drinks and went in our new hot tub!

@gizmo167 that's a BFP for sure, big congrats

Congrats too to the other recent bfp and thoughts to the new joiners

I'm generally watching along and I've also just got a bfp this w/e on a cheapie and a clear blue one (1-2 weeks so 4 weeks)

Am so anxious after two mc in a row. I'm trying to be rational but it's so hard.

Calling the gp in the morning as they said I'd be scanned early this time, so let's see

Almost don't want to put this out there in case I'm tempting fate but we have to try and get excited and put the precious mc aside, right?

@Acebobase me too lovely, I've had 2 mc in a row, took a year between my first & last but just a month in between last one which was in Feb

Congratulations @gizmo167 and @Acebobase. It’s understandable to be anxious about it but yes you’re also right that you should let yourself get excited. I’m going to try to be. It’s more likely that you will have a happy healthy pregnancy!

@gizmo167 congrats. Sending lots of positive vibes. I've had to MC in a row too, so this is reassuring and giving hope to me and many others I'm sure! @Acebobase you too. sending you both so much positivity.
if you don't mind me asking did you have the MCs two consecutive months or afs in between? I had one , then and and then another. Not feeling hopeful for this month (MC only a couple of weeks ago)

@MammaJ21 I had my first in Jan 2020, took a year to get my next bfp which ended in a my on 14th Feb so I had one af between the recent one

@gizmo167
Thanks for the response. I hope you can let yourself enjoy this time, but totally get the worry. Maybe book an early scan if it would help.

Did you track ovulation this time after MC? I have been using opks..but they're confussing me. had a peak then I carried on using them...just out of curiosity and assumed they'd turn negative. had negatives. then last couple of days had positive. Last night's was way darker too. So confussing im not sure of that means im ov or if I'm not going to. How long after MC did your Af take? After my first mc I had about 28 days, then af.

Sorry for all the qs! obviously you don't need to answer, I know they're personal!

@gizmo167 of course I remember you! I turned 42 last month and that is a great line! Congratulations so pleased for you!

@bez91 @bubblybrit I'm ok now thank you, just find it so hard month after month of bfn and af and every few months it kind of gets to me.

@Acebobase congratulations to you too! So nice to see all the bfp on here recently, definitely gives me hope

@MammaJ21 my first af this time around after 2nd my was 36 days, I usually have a 29-31 day cycle. I don't use opks as I never had any success with them & found they stressed me out more! I was diagnosed with pcos few years before I had my dd who is nearly 8 & it took 3 years to conceive her but since having her my cycles really regulated. Seems I don't have a problem getting pregnant now, just staying that way but I guess my age is definitely against me!

@Marvellouslymadmum thank you hun, absolutely petrified if I'm honest!

Thanks @bubblybrit you too although we could probably both have done with an egg for BFPs if we don't think we've ovulated 😆

justwant2beamum yesss 🙌🏼 don't blame you. I had a drink last night with DH - practically been teetotal a year since TTC and felt like an immense release 😊

@gizmo167 I completely get that, it's so hard to relax and enjoy but hopefully you'll feel better once you've had a scan and everything
