@H0peing congratulations! I hope this is your rainbow 🌈

@Babyghirl read your ‘drunk’ post which made me smile 😊 I hope you enjoyed it

@kiwi17 I’m sorry this wasn’t your month, your doing all you can 💕 it will happen

@Babyghirl thanks! I've tried the paperclip but that's the only part I can't click on! Not sure why but my phone is a bit rubbish. I'm planning on getting it checked as there's a few things wrong with this phone. X

@Spotsmama glad you've had some time away to unwind. Xx

@SunnySideUp2020 hope you start getting your peak days again soon! Xx

@slcxxx
Payed for it today but was worth it, I have just said can't stop life while ttc or we would stop living altogether and better to be merry than miserable, as my doc said get my oh to take me out get me drunk and bring me home and do all the work 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 drink to its pink that's the words he used lol 💚
@HOpeing
Crossing my fingers this is your turn and u have ur rainbow on board 💚

@kiwi17 I'm really sorry to hear this. Hoping that your bfp will happen very soon. Xx

@SunnySideUp2020 I'm a lot newer to this thread than you. Would you mind sharing anything that you think could be helpful following the birth of your DD?

I always find it helpful to try something new, especially if it's worked for other people! Xx

@PeanuttyButter when are you planning to have your first scan? I think I'll try to get my first one at around 6.5 weeks because I think that's around the time you can usually see the heartbeat etc. Will see how it goes. Trying to stay as positive and hopeful as possible, which seems to be easier said than done after past experience, but today is a new day. Much love. Xx

@ELM7 so pleased to hear that you saw your little one and heard a heartbeat! Also really glad to hear that your mum is recovering💖 I know lots of people who have measured smaller than expected and those babies arrived completely healthy so please try not to worry and to enjoy your pregnancy as much as you can. Xx

@SLCxxx Glad to hear that it's going really well for you Any advice for anything that you think may have helped this time around? Xx

@ttcissoboring hoping this cycle brings a bfp for your Rainbow🌈 baby! Xx

@ELM7
At our first scan we were also 6 or 7 days behind. Then it caught up slowly and by 12w scan it was bang on from lmp. So try not to worry 💗

@H0peing really hard to say as we tried sooo much stuff!
But i would say what probably helped was higher folic acid, higher vit D, omega, zinc and selenium supp, and lots of iron. Basically i stopped the seven seas conception tablets and went on individual supplements on high doses... lots of pills to take though!
Also had small polyps in my uterus removed the month before we conceived.
And hubby was on a supplement too.
Oh and instead of doing smep we had breaks between dtd during fertile window.
And we stopped using the preseed lube.

@H0peing I'm currently 4+6 I feel like time is standing still to be honest. Back at work today so hoping that gives me some distraction. Going to book in for a scan at about 7.5 weeks if I make it that far. Can't deal with going earlier and then there being questions about if it's too soon to see a heartbeat etc. This is worse than the tww. Where are you date wise

@H0peing

Just realized you had your bfp!!! Congrats!
So i told you all about ttc but did you mean pregnancy wise??

@H0peing that's amazing news. Congratulations! Keeping everything crossed for you.

@kiwi17 sorry this wasn't your month and sorry to hear you're feeling down. I know it's so hard, you aren't doing anything wrong. Don't lose hope am sure it will happen for you.

Hi all, I hope you don't mind me jumping on this thread!
I had a miscarriage almost 6 weeks ago, it was my first baby. I haven't had a period yet and I'm kinda losing my mind! I tried opks so I'm hoping to get a period this weekend coming, but we (hub and I) also had a go once over my fertile day. I'm feeling a bit pregnant but also not, hpts are negative and boobs are fine (thought I saw a faint line but I'm not going to obsess).

Is anybody still waiting to find out and how long did it take for periods to come back? My sister just gave birth to her 3rd (little girl) and my best friend is expecting so things are a little tense for me right now!

TIA and congrats to everyone on your lovely bfp's!

Hello Ladies! I'm jumping on the bus! Feel like I am ready to talk & maybe try...I know I found comfort in the TTC forums previously.

Some back ground:
I suffered a miscarriage on July 20th, at 9 weeks.
First baby & had been trying for nearly a year 😪.

I'm just about feeling okish about it, it really hit me hard.
We saw the heartbeat 5 days before I started to bleed so it came as a shock as you can imagine.

Now I'm a bit of a complex story, I can't help thinking, that baby was my only shot.

I only have 1 ovary from previous ovarian cyst and ovary removal. We have since discovered (just before I found out I was pregnant) I have another large cyst on my other ovary, at the time of being pregnant they were having to operate on that between 12-16 weeks pregnant with it being quite large and the uterus growing etc.
Anyway that's changed, now I'm waiting on a chat about preserving my fertility before the said op.

Something inside me though is telling me try again 🙈🙈🙈🙈 I know I can get pregnant!! I've been traumatised to actually DTD up until now really I feel ready. What's the harm in trying I say? I would get the op quicker 🙄
Scared to go through to again, but there's nothing to suggest the cysts caused it! Gynae haven't told me NOT to try...

Felt good to get that out I must say, my mind is allover the show! X

Well girls so sorry you find urself with us but glad you found us for support, this thread is amazing ladies who have been through the same thing so sorry for your losses just try to take the relax approach and still live and the same time nothing is ever tmi on here ask anything yous want, I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 cp ttc num 1 I'm nw under the rmc and will be getting progesterone on my next bfp hoping it helps. 💚

So nice to have a group to support us through this!
@Babyghirl sorry to hear about your 4 losses, you're doing amazing and I'm keeping everything crossed that your bfp is round the corner.
I've booked a Carribbean holiday in a few weeks time and now I'm terrified I'm going to get Zika and that I won't be able to try for a baby for months after!! It's all so stressful 😂 I can never just be super excited about things, I'm such a glass half empty.

@Nervousnelly21 I'm so sorry to hear of all the troubles you've had and your worries about starting again 😔 just know you are in a safe space to talk about all your worries but I'm confident we will all get where we want to be ❤️

@anoki
Go and enjoy urself we cant stop living while ttc have a drink if you want to my doc never said anything truer my first loss I was taking Co codamol after an op found out not long after that and I said to her about it and she said nothing to do with that I know druggies who go on to have healthy babies, also said get your oh to take u out get u drunk and take u home and do all the work 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Welcome to the new ladies - as @Babyghirl says this is the place to be for chatting about anything and everything nothing is ever normally tmi! @anoki I think I had my first period about 14 days after the bleeding from my mc finished but I had expectant management and I know others who have had medical or surgical take longer sometimes. I do know my hormones have taken about 6 months to resettle so that might affect you.

Feeling miserable tonight, got a text from gp to say my repeat blood test to check my high prolactin levels on Thursday has been cancelled due to lack of test tubes and because I'm not essential. Dh sperm analysis appointment mid Oct is apparently just to take the sample to them and then it's 4-6 weeks before he gets the results. It all just feels like we're getting nowhere and no-one cares because we're 'not essential' and I'm fed up with it. We took dd's baby cot down tonight too as it's just been sitting in the nursery since she moved into the bed (Just before the mc) and it's just taunting us so feeling rubbish now. Hope everyone else is feeling a bit more positive!

@kiwi17 I'm so sorry, that must be so disheartening 😔 isn't it awful when we are dismissed as unimportant, we are real humans here with lives, worries and hearts! Sending you lots of love and support.
I was dismissed as well, I started bleeding at 8 weeks, but because the cramps weren't killing me and it was brown blood, I was dismissed for 2 weeks with everyone telling me things were probably fine. When I finally got my scan (that my gp had to push for in the end) at 10 weeks they said it only measured 5 and there was no heartbeat. So I was like, yes, I knew something was wrong. Sadly I had too many clots and had to have surgical intervention. So I know how you feel about no one listening 😔
You are important ❤️

Sorry to hear that @anoki- I had similar with my mc. I started spotting at 10 weeks and no-one would believe me that something was wrong even the midwife said 'if somethings going to happen to it there's nothing we can do about it' so we ended up paying for a private scan and it measured 7 weeks no heartbeat. It makes me so angry how miscarriage isn't a big thing in the nhs and they don't seem too bothered about it as long as it sorts itself out. Hope your cycles get back to normality soon 😊

@kiwi17
They want u stress free for nxt bloods yea right how they expect that when they doing that to you gs I hope all us ladies get r bfp this side of Christmas 💚

Exactly @Babyghirl !! As a teacher, taking stress free bloods any time after the 1st Sept and they're asking for trouble...
