Thank you @cyclogoose x

I had tests after my second miscarriage due to my age - they said my eggs were in good shape (for a geriatric mother!) and I had no genetic reason for the miscarriages. We really thought we were going to be third time lucky last time, but it wasn't meant to be and I miscarried just before the early scan.

They have just said to keep trying. I am interested in progesterone as a few people have mentioned that, I am going to look into cyclogest as well, thanks very much xx

Hey girls!! Mind if I join?

Currently on my ttc cycle 3. Had a miscarriage at 12 weeks beginning of Dec 💔 first period 14/1 ovulated around end of Jan beginning of Feb, then next period 16/2 was convinced I would ovulate beginning of March but no! Looks like I ovulated either last Thursday or this Monday. So confusing had ovulation pain on my right side, took an opk on Friday, as had to Amazon prime it haha, and it was almost positive, then went back to completely negative Saturday and Sunday, and back up on Monday(positive) soooo confusing. So tbh now sure if I am 8dpo or 4dpo😂 dtd every other day from beginning of March just in case!! Anything like that happened to anyone before?

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 19:22

Also just been reading about people’s miscarriages, I am so sorry for your losses (hugs)💔 I know it’s not the easiest especially seeing all the people posting about having babies or being pregnant :( it got to the point with me where I was wishing bad upon people who were pregnant on my Facebook. Especially how hard it is for me to conceive now. I am also 23. Didn’t take me long to conceive last time, now I’m only starting to learn all about females body really lol!

minthumbugs · 19/03/2021 19:42

Hey @Laurashakey we are quite similar. I'm 25 and had a MC in January and I also had a loss a few years ago too. It's so tough, I'm so sorry! ❤️

I have no idea about your OPKs, tbh I'm absolutely clueless and have realised that our bodies don't really do anything we want them to. 🤣

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 19:52

@minthumbugs Hi girl! I’m so sorry for your losses💔 happens to quite a lot of people, didn’t know miscarriages were that common!
Are you trying this month? Currently in your 2ww?
Ohhh I know, tell me about it! Back in September I had no idea we had such thing as cervical mucus, now I know all about it 😂 I just wish it wasn’t taking that long, I’m so ready to start my family now!

minthumbugs · 19/03/2021 20:05

@Laurashakey it definitely does and I realised that almost immediately after my first when so many strong women I know told me about their own experiences. It's horrible!

My second period since arrived this week so onto the second cycle. I had a bit of a weird month I was constantly spotting so I'm just hoping that the bleeding stops when it's supposed to this month and I might have a shot! 🤞🏻

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 20:20

@minthumbugs ah yes the spotting! I had that on and off for about a month, was horrible. My second period was the worst!

I wish you a BFP for next month! My period is meant to be here on Monday, well hope not!

minthumbugs · 19/03/2021 20:29

OMG @Laurashakey honestly my experience to a T so far. First AF was super light, now I think I'm on my death bed haha. Did your spotting just not come back after your period?

Oh fingers crossed this will be it for you! X

CycloGoose · 19/03/2021 20:34

I'm so sorry to hear about everyone's losses. It really seems like the last taboo because so few people realise how often it happens. I try to tell myself if it's what's happening it's because the baby wouldn't be healthy but I don't think it really makes it any easier at all.

Not related but I just thought it might make you chuckle to know that I've been making curry tonight with fresh chillis and am now compulsively washing my hands before going anywhere near my floof in the next couple of hours 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️🔥

Halpmer · 19/03/2021 20:42

@CycloGoose hahaha - particularly enjoyed the terminology "my floof" 😂

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 21:05

Oh God that is the worst! Yes, my first period I had some spotting then two days of heavy bleeding then it stopped then the spotting came back for one more day and that was it. With my second one I just bled for 5 days straight pretty much! The spotting never returned after that! Ah I hope so not so optimistic, I am a symptom spotter and haven’t had anything really this month! X @minthumbugs

minthumbugs · 19/03/2021 21:27

Haha @CycloGoose you make me laugh. That would have been a disaster waiting to happen!!!

@Laurashakey oooooh I hope that happens to me. Spotting was the sign that something was going wrong for me and would you believe I've only had three weeks not bleeding this entire year so far because of it all, so I am sooo ready for it to stop.

You never know! No symptoms is also a symptom lol. X

CycloGoose · 19/03/2021 21:34

It's going to to improve for you soon @minthumbugs I'm sure. I have everything crossed xxx

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 21:44

Ah yes exactly the same, I was scared to go to the toilet to have a wee just had that imagine in my head :/ I had to ask my partner to come toilet with me every time I went for a wee as was scared.

Ah I hope so, I had a bit of cramping on Monday and some pain on my right side yesterday but that was about it!x

Laurashakey · 19/03/2021 21:45

@minthumbugs

soontobeamama · 19/03/2021 22:17

@cyclogoose - you definitely don't want a burning floof! 🙈 🔥 😂 x

Farfaraway1 · 20/03/2021 01:31

Hi ladies, I’ll jump on this thread too ☺️ Really hoping for a BFP early / mid April! Been trying for our third baby for ages. Using OPK’s this month.. we’ve had 3 losses; a MMC, ectopic and CP.. fingers crossed next month is our month! 😁 good luck everyone! Can’t wait to see others BFP’s! X

kaylsd · 20/03/2021 08:10

@Lucea87 I hate it when Femometer takes ovulation day as the peak day! With you being 8/9 dpo means your early for testing and you never know your BFP might be right round the corner hehe! Fingers and toes your cramping and things are implantation than AF

@Slinks8113 happy gardening day today darling! My hubs is at work at weekend so I’m tempted to go out shopping for some garden bits I never know what I’m doing either and I haven’t a clue of what things are called plant wise I just normally go with what’s looks the cutest 😂🙈 and no doubt has bright colours in :’) well done with the weight loss to sweet pea, try not to worry about the BMI thing your doing great 😘❤️

@KatieLooLa OPK tests can be quite confusing the cheap ones for me, my cycle this time I never actually saw a full positive because I don’t test enough, I only saw a near positive of like 87% I normally do my testing time just after 12 but I’m tempted to upgrade to a clear blue kit after my box of cheapies are done because it would be nice for the once daily FMU set up :’) it’s to exciting to say your tarot cards are predicting a spring baby!! All mine have pointed towards like a summer baby other than one reading which was a April conception or April due date which still means summer conception ;p I wouldn’t know how to do tarot cards myself though I’d be one of those to Chuck the deck in the air n just pick out a couple from floor 😂🙈

@iloveoreos your not out darling until AF arrives, have you rested this morning? Good luck if you have 🌈😘🙌🏻

@Cyclogoose your spotting may just be your little bean getting snuggly fingers crossed with your cervix changes and temp shifts it’s a positive direction, This rollercoaster is the best one ever because at least you have us screaming beside you if you need us too or with our hands up in air celebrating for you, either way we are on it together!

With you saying about the April fools joke, the first of April is when I can test if I don’t come on by the 30th.. Question is am I gonna be the typical joker if I’m pregnant to hubs and he’s not gonna believe me if I am 😂🙈 it’s just typical that timing for me 😆

@Pennyh123 welcome chicken, we are all partial to a symptom spot on here darling so join the club, what do you normally do to pass time in your TWW? I normally binge watch Netflix series on my days off, just watched that new one called the one :)

@TTCMumma94 welcome darling! The TWW is the worst, I swear the time frame of days goes that little bit slower I love every morning waking up and going into my Femometer app to see that the dpo day has changed as it’s one step closer where I POAS addiction can shine like a light 😆😆😆😂

@Sunshinexx95 awww on the 29th is my mums birthday too! Are you doing anything nice for it? I celebrated my lockdown birthday last week in the hot tub having a few too many tipples and a lot of BD cause it ended up being my fertile week hehe! I’ll be 13 dpo by 29/3 but I’m gonna hold out to see if I’m late with AF to save wasting HPTs 🙈 so going to test 1/4 if I’m late :)

@Soontobemamq welcome and good luck with your TTC journey, try not to worry too much about time being against you fingers and toes that everything works out for you perfectly, I’m sorry for your losses with your miscarriages, sending you the biggest hugs xx

@Seraphim87 welcome back sweetheart :)! Fingers and toes crossed this cycle is your cycle 🤞🏻🥰🌈

@Bee44 welcome darling I’m just at the beginning of my TWW also, 4 DPO for me 👀 I swear this month I won’t be a crazy lady and be like google searching 4 DPO BFP stories 😂😂😂😆😆😆

@Laurashakey welcome darling to the group :)! I’m sorry to hear about your miscarriages sending you lots of love and baby dust for this cycle, in relation to your OPKS yours have done the exact same as mine almost positive then lower next day for 2 days then almost positive again! Did a lot of BD to cover it though just incase, do you BBT to confirm ovulation? It might be worth doing that if the OPKs may be difficult with you :)

@Farfaraway1 welcome to the group sweetheart:) I’m sorry for your losses sending hugs across, fingers and toes crossed this is your cycle! I’m on cycle 7, I’m tempted if I hit the 10th cycle to contact GP to see if they can do some blood work on me to see if I’m ovulating properly but something tells me they’ll just bounce me straight back until it’s been a year of trying 👀 good luck with this cycle hunny!

I hope I’ve not missed anyone this took me ages to read back; note to self check mumsnet that little bit more often so I don’t have to do these long catch ups :’) Happy weekend everyone! Hubs is at work all weekend so I’m tempted to go shopping to keep myself occupied :’)

Question for those who BBT? My cover line has been established finally! But I normally have more of a increase rise than what I’m currently doing, I’m between 36.2-36.3 when I’m normally 3.4-3.6 post ovulation, does this have any significance at all? As my pre ovulation was 35.9 🤔

Weekend dose photo for our mabes, those curly locks 😩🥰❤️

Lizzie1302 · 20/03/2021 09:07

Hi guys, sorry to read about all those losses 👼you are all truly amazing!
So exciting catching up on this I think there may be quite a few BFPs this month xx
As for me I don't know what's going on! I've still not had any bleeding except the tiny spotting day AF was due that was on the 18th but still nothing 3 BFNs I would just prefer period to come and get it over with and on to the next cycle! But here I am still contemplating whether it's a good sign or not - tmi but my cm is creamy/lotion like which I don't think is normal for me

CycloGoose · 20/03/2021 09:07

@kaylsd you're such a good thread momma looking out for us all. We love you XXX I can't quite keep on top of it all at the moment. I'm trying to be on my phone less but then I feel rude if I don't reply to everyone!

I hope everyone knows they're in my heart even if I don't write back specifically! I can't remember who said it but I feel everyone's ups and downs too and in so excited and hurt and hopeful for all of you dependent on the circumstances.

I'd contact gp this time if you haven't been lucky. Tell them it's really stressing you out, making you anxious. Ham it up a bit. Mine said they wouldn't hold me to 12 months exactly but I am a fair few clicks older than you!

Enjoy the shopping! Did you ever get a houseplant? Tesco has some lovely things in at the moment -spider plants for £2.50! I'm no good at gardening either and I missed that on @Slinks8113 post. I'm hoping that it's something I can learn about when I'm on maternity leave. I've got big ideas! I want to have a veggie trough to teach a little bubs about where food comes from 🥰

Mabel is just a delight. I've got my borrow my doggy Buddy boi coming to see me and I couldn't be more excited. He's a smallish golden doodle and we're bffs. Seriously, his owners can't get over it 🤣🤣🤣

My temps are trash so I can't help there I'm afraid. I'm not sure about the CB to be honest. I didn't like them I don't think. The flashing smiley gave me the heeby-jeebies. Though I suppose I got a positive test this month but I literally did so much different it's hard to tell what was the key. I spent so much money on new toys when I got my 'period' though so at least, if this is all pretend, I will get to make use of those!

Still positive here but still spotting. I'm trying not to get excited but I'm starting to see a glimmer of hope. Surely 9 days after a bleed I wouldn't still be getting + results if it's MC? Not when it's such early days.

TBF I'm realising how lucky I am with my GP. I picked them especially because my local one with spaces have the worst reviews so I go to the next town and I think they're incredible. Except they didn't give me my jab when they should've because I was hospitalised with my asthma.

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:12

Hi all,

I haven’t been tracking my BBT unfortunately I need to start! I had the faintest line on my first response today and two of the cheapies! I’m trynna not to lose my head lol!! Someone please tell me I’m cray cray, I’ll try attaching photos now, I would be around 9dpo I believe

Laurashakey · 20/03/2021 09:12

Hmmm
