🦕🦕 The dinosaur crew - part 8 ttc after mc 🦕🦕

[Annny27]

Hi ladies,

You know the drill after this long haha! All of us ladies are ttc after miscarriage (whether that's MMC, MC, TFMR, ectopic or CP)

I will tag people in next message :)

Sorry AF came @babyghirl have you got any IVF dates scheduled yet?

Guys as my first due date is getting closer I'm thinking more and more about what I should do that day. I really hoped I'd be pregnant by the time it came around (and I was, then I wasn't again). I obviously don't want to 'celebrate' or get myself in too much of a downer about it but I don't feel I can let it pass without recognition, especially with it being so close to Xmas (23rd) and especially as all the Xmas countdowns I see I feel are just counting down to the day. There's been 3 more pregnancy announcements this week for me too, at this rate literally everyone I know Is going to have had a baby since I first got pregnant. I suspect someone else too as she's dropped out of the Xmas do at the last minute (all inclusive bar) as she now has to drive and it's not worth it, yet she caught my eye and I could see pity there so I know that's coming. Argh why is it so bloody hard.
I'm not crying (at the moment haha) but it feels bloody unfair

Hey lovelies xxx

@Annny27 yeah, I’m approaching OV - predicted for Friday so the BD’ing has commenced 🤣🤷🏼‍♀️
Bit more difficult this month - OH giving up drinking which he did to help insomnia..,
Whilst drinking he’d come to bed very in the mood at 3/4am … I dealt with being woken up for getting the deed done 🤣
Now he’s staying up until stupid o’clock, sleeping half the day and totally not in the mood!!
I’m having to literally jump him while he’s asleep ffs 🤣🤣 the things we have to do 🙄
We DTD every other day from CD6/7 (I’ve got a 26 day cycle) then every day for a couple of days after LH peak

Let’s hope for epic christmas presents!!

@HeyFloof omg what an awful awful ride you’ve had. Sending you so so much love ❤️❤️❤️ So sorry you’ve had to deal with so much xxxxxxx

I’m in a quandary this cycle…. I obviously SO want to get pregnant but we go away for 3 weeks on the 29th to Egypt and if I am pregnant I’ll be freaking the whole time!! Plus OH will freak about me flying 🙈🙈🙈🙈

@PeanuttyButter
No date yet but I assume it will be after Christmas now as I'm on CD1 of full period and I think you have to phone on the first day of your period what I have read up on anyway will give them a ring tomorrow, awww due dates are so tough I have a charm on my bracelet for each baby I have lost on the date I have lost them. How about you plant some seeds in a wee flower pot and watch it grow. And then plant it in the garden if you have one with a wee plaque with the date on it 💐

@PeanuttyButter oh bless you lovely, I’m dreading my due date. I have constant reminders of where I would be as a family friend got pregnant at pretty much exactly the same time. They just did a huge gender reveal, broke me completely, again….. 😵‍💫
I think planting a seed is a really nice thought! Even just a daffodil bulb in a beautiful spot that you could go back to visit in Spring, make it your special place ❤️❤️❤️

Quick question rather a stupid one so forgive me 🙈 does sperm stretch?? I had sex last night.. So I am 10dpo negative test when I was undressing for a bath I noticed a bit of ewcm I was like wtf it was clear as day and stretchy why would I be getting that at this time cramps have died down boobs have been on and off sore today anyone had this before?? Xx

@Annny27 yes I tested this morning bfn but for some weird reason I am getting ewcm so who knows I am ok about it all as I am only 10dpo period due on Sunday how are you doing lovely? Xx

@sweetbabydust1989
What I'm lead to believe is it stretchs but not as much as ewcm would so only a wee bit then break xx

@Babyghirl mine stretched quite a bit and didn't break I am confused on why I have that bodies are rather confusing I did even take an ovulation test to confirm I wasn't double ovulating this month and that was low fertility xx

@sweetbabydust1989 I got some before my bfp. Could be coincidence, at the time I was forever rummaging around my cervix looking for the start of AF (or lack of it). Wishing you all the luck that it's what it is.

@PeanuttyButter thanks lovely i am not one for rooting round my lady garden I got a tampon stuck when I was like 13 put me off for life 🤣 it was one of those little ones without an applicator thing all my aunty had at the time 🤣 well I am cramping more now so I think af might be on her way unless it's implantation If she comes tomorrow my lh phase will be rather short this month which will be new as I am usually a 13 kinda day between ovulation and periods xx

Keep us updated @sweetbabydust1989 we could do with a Christmas miracle in this thread

Sorry not kept up to date!

Is anyone else's MC due date this month. My due date was the 21st and I'm feeling so emotional about it as I haven't got pregnant since 😥

@apwilso
@PeanuttyButter
Is approaching hers is the 23 of Dec will be thinking of the 2 off you xx

@Babyghirl thank you

@PeanuttyButter how are you feeling x

@PeanuttyButter still no sign of af yet but I think she will be here by the weekend so many cramps but if things look right I might ovulate again on Xmas eve so who knows lol I haven't tested again at all too scared too lol xx

@apwilso I'm dreading it. I'm trying to get into the Xmas spirit but really can't. I'd hoped to be pregnant for my due date too.
I'm so glad I have this group, nobody in real life seems to care that it's supposed to be my due date and I'm supposed to be on mat leave now. Means a lot that you remember my due date @babyghirl

@sweetbabydust1989 it's promising that AF hasn't come yet. I don't know how you can resist testing that's some willpower

@PeanuttyButter I tested at 9dpo & 10dpo both negative I did them super early 🙈🤣 I am now 12dpo I can sort of feel her coming then it goes but my boobs have been so sore but that comes and goes i am due on Sunday so if nothing comes will take a test on Monday xx

@PeanuttyButter I completely get it. See no one really knows my due date or the fact i had a MC but my best friend knows but we're not the most sympathetic with each other well we are but she doesn't really get it!

@apwilso we can support each other through this

Big love ladies, it’s a really crappy time of year to try and deal with due dates ❤️❤️❤️
I’m sad enough going into Christmas not being pregnant like I was expecting 😵‍💫
I hope you manage to find some happiness and enjoyment 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I’m 1DPO today - BD’d on days 8, 10 and 11 (OV day), might try for later but shattered!!!

not feeling the love for TWW leading up to Christmas at all!!!! Go away for a few weeks on the 29th so if we don’t get our BFP I’m having a month off from tracking abs testing and going to just try to enjoy myself 🙏🏼

We can @PeanuttyButter if you ever need a rant or a chat let me know!!

So I am 13dpo period due either tomorrow or Monday light cramps but when I wipe I have noticed pink discharge I am confused to what this could be would post a picture but not sure if anyone wants to see my body fluids 🙈😂 xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 I'd say pink discharge is a good thing especially if it's not normal for you! Any spotting I've had with pregnancy has always been pink and only when wiping. Got my fingers crossed for you.

@PeanuttyButter I think it's my period nothing on liner but when I wipe it's pink/red so af is coming I am all good nice to start a stress free cycle xx

@Sweetbabydust1989 ah that's crap. Like you said least you can have a stress free month and don't need to worry about hiding the fact you're not having a little drink.
Will still keep my fingers crossed AF stays fully away x
