Thanks @KJLM. Twins don't run in my family at all. We're still so shocked, it wasn't even a possibility in my head. I don't even know anyone that's ever had twins, I am so unprepared. And don't worry, I'm sure I'm going to get twin questions for ever and ever now haha I just hope they're both sticky peanuts!

Congratulations to the bee bfps!!!! Amazing

I’m doing good after my little scare on Monday. All is good for us. 12 week scan in 3 weeks!

I’m a member of a lovely mumsnet due in January Facebook group. Totally private. We have ladies from December through to feb in it. If anyone would like to join just let me know and I can send you the link xxxx

Hi all, congrats on all of the BFPs, I hope you all go on to have successful amazing pregnancies ❤️

Unfortunately I'm finding it very triggering so will be leaving this group, I wish you all the best x

@KJLM @Madeoftea no I dry heave all day for literally no reason it's soooo annoying because I'm scared one day il think just a dry heave and actually 🤮.

Congratulations for more BFPs , I went for another scan today and measuring 9+6 and all good so far. Countdown to 12wk scan now. Hope the anxiety gets easier

I made a mistake of testing too early and now I'm feeling like it's over this month. I'm so sad even though I know I'm still 4days out from my period.

Ah congrats @Lililou! Amazing news.

@Madeoftea twins!!! Congratulations, that's scary but in a great way :) how exciting!

@justwant2beamum @spookycookies sending you positive vibes for your current/next cycles

@wag1987 @Ralala so happy to hear your scans have gone well!

Aw hope you're ok @cupcakesandglitter I agree it's lovely to see the BFPs but the pregnancy updates/chat can be overwhelming. 🤞🏻 and baby dust to you xxx

Ladies!! Look at all these BFPs 😍😍😍 this makes me SO happy. Please make sure you set up your own little support group to help each other through this!!!

@AlbiMix @KJLM @Lililou @Ralala @PlantMummy87 @Madeoftea who have a missed?!

It's incredible to see how far everyone has come.

Sorry I've been awol. I stopped tracking the last cycle (cycle 5 post mmc) and went cold turkey. No BBT, no OPKs, no fitbit, no mumsnet! I need a month of just drinking what I wanted and eating what I wanted and relaxing a bit. I'll try to pop on here and keep up with how everyone is going. But honestly please make sure you are there to support each other through your pregnancies.

Sending lots of love and hope to all those not pregnant yer. Its a brutal journey but one we can only hope is worth it xxx

Why are pregnancy and imminent period symptoms the same! Ahhh. Need to retest on Wednesday and I'm driving myself crazy. I got pregnant first cycle between mc 1&2 and assumed it would be the same this time but it's not looking likely. Im going to be devastated.

Hi ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend!

Just wanted to let you know that I did actually ovulate and got a BFP this morning!

I am happy, but at the same time I feel so anxious and I keep thinking it could be a chemical or I could end up having another MC.

How did you cope with the anxiety in the first weeks after finding out? Any tips or recommendations would be hugely appreciated! xx

@Greenluce aw yay, you caught it :) congrats to you! I can only imagine the aniexty , I feel like that and not even with BFP yet! I hope this one is a sticky bean for you!

Congrats to all others and those who have had reassuring scans :) can’t believe how many positives there have been! Amazing stuff!

@spookycookies I understand how you are feeling! I’m 5 days away from AF and have had some mild spotting today but quite bad cramps, could be implantation but pretty sure it’s AF! But we’re not out just yet so just and keep faith for a few more days. Get a podcast on and go for a big walk to clear your head. Sending you positive vibes xx

@Blondiebrownie6 I'm absolutely desperate to test tomorrow morning but I'm going to wait until Wednesday. Good luck for you too!

Congratulations @Greenluce, so happy for you!

Hi @AMS19, I’ve been wondering how you’re getting on. Sending you lots of positive vibes! We’ve been having a month off the whole TTC planning this month and it’s been so nice. Back on it next month though, fingers crossed we’ll get a BPF too.

Hope you’ve all had a good Monday. X

Huge congratulations @Greenluce that's such amazing news ❤❤

Thanks @MSK1 I'll probably fleet in and out. I definitely find taking myself away from everything really helpful mentally. Glad you took a break too, it does wonders doesn't it

Lovely to hear all the updates x

I'm 10+6 & have my scan on Friday, so nervous about it, I've convinced myself it'll either be a molar or a mmc, horrible what mc does to a new pregnancy! I'm just so aware that this will be my last time pregnant ever so it means more than u can imagine!

Thank you @Blondiebrownie6 @MSK1 I am still quite incredulous to be honest!

@AMS19 thank you darling ❤️ It’s so nice to hear from you.

@gizmo167 I completely understand how you feel, it’s impossible not to feel nervous after a MC, but I am trying to remind myself that this is a new pregnancy and things will be (hopefully) different this time! I keep everything crossed for you 🤞🏻 xx

Congrats 👏👏@Greenluce fab strong lines there.

Best of luck with your scan @gizmo167, let us know how you get on 🤗💫

Thanks @AMS19 that's a good idea, is anyone currently pregnant interested in a separate group? Happy to set that up if so, let me know. Also conscious of not spamming others with pregnancy stuff? I don't have much to report atm though.

Congrats @Greenluce such brilliant news!!! The best advice I got was from AMS19 which was to take the pregnancy step by step and this helped me so much to cope with the anxiety. So first step, get past when AF was due, then past the chemical point, then past the HB point (could book a scan if you wanted), past when you last miscarried, etc. Thinking about it one step at a time made it seem so much more manageable.

Thank you! @Lollipop25

@AlbiMix Thank you so much for your advice and I should thank @AMS19 too, she is the best isn’t she! Always so wise ❤️

It sounds like a very sensible approach and I will do my best to follow your advice.
One minute I am hopeful and happy, and the next I am a nervous wreck checking for blood or freaking out after every small twinge.

I would definitely be up to join a separate group, please count me in!
I am mindful that the pregnancy talk could be triggering and I don’t want to upset anyone, at the same time I could really do with some support and I would love to keep chatting with you and the other ladies. xx

I'm interested @AlbiMix.

@Greenluce yes it's all @AMS19 she is the wisest person out there and it's so appreciated. I was absolute wreck when I first got the BFP, it was all apprehension and no excitement at all, I think that's inevitable after an MC. But just keep your eye on the milestones!

I will get around to setting up a new thread (never done one before!) And tag you and @Lililou and anyone else who is interested just let me know. But I can post the link in here too. Will aim to get this done after work!

Ahh ladies ❤❤ honestly none of this is me. You were all strong enough to come find a place for support, strong enough to post and strong enough to share your fears. You should be so so proud of yourselves!! Please post a link to where you end up and keep checking in on this group! Xx

Stop being so humble @AMS19 😂 you in particular have offered so much support to so many women whilst going through hard times yourself. You deserve to take some credit 🙂

I'm pretty sure I'm out this month. No period yet but negative tests which I can't see changing. I got pregnant straight away after my first miscarriage I'm finding it hard to accept that it could take me much longer this time.

@AMS19 yes please stop being humble, you've been incredible.

@Greenluce @Lililou I've set up a pregnancy after miscarriage support thread here and I think I've tagged you but tbh not sure if I've done it right.
