🦕🦕 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 :)

@Babyghirl best thing I did not testing this cycle I thought as it's Xmas I will have a chilled cycle loads of booze and food and who knows that might do the trick.. how are you doing?? Xx

Hello everyone - 11dpo and I caved and tested this month with an Internet cheapy and bfn today. I feel like I always do every month so I think period is on the way annoyingly!

@kelb79 have you tested?

@babyghirl sometimes mine does that and doesn't give me notifications! Do you have time off over Christmas?

@peanuttybutter sorry that you think its a chemical, that's gutting:(

@sunnysideup2020 sorry AF arrived - always gutting especially after a long cycle!

@elm7 sending love 💗💗

@apwilso sending love on your due date xxx

@sweetbabydust1989 relaxed approach might be the way forward esp over Christmas

@PeanuttyButter sorry to hear... but CD1 is a fresh start especially if the periods is heavy might be a good sign. Definitely do the opks this month. I will do the same from CD25 becaus my cycles are so long. But you should start from CD10 or 12? Are you using cheapies?

@Annny27 sorry you had another bfn 😔
Also I wanted to know what did you do to lenghten your LP?

@ELM7 thinking of you!

And of all of you ladies this Xmas and sending hugs to everyone! 💕💕💕💕

This is my little tree in my temporary home 😄

Hey ladies, can’t believe Christmas is just a few days away!
I put up our tree at last on Sunday. I’ve always got my tree up so early but this year I’ve avoided it completely. OH went crazy last year when we were a lot more hopeful about TTC and bought a massive and beautiful tree with the most lovely decorations. I was so excited to be putting up my tree with my bump growing and the anticipation of Christmases to come. Now it all just means nothing. I’ve struggled the last couple of days again ☹️
Think AF must be coming as I’m crazy emotional!!

@Annny27 I caved yesterday and tested too - the obvious BFN. Just an easy@home test so it, of course, could not be showing yet but I’m not feeling hopeful. I’ll test again on Christmas Eve but I don’t think there’s a Christmas miracle for me either 😞

The biggest hugs to @PeanuttyButter @ELM7 @apwilso and @Sweetbabydust1989 for your due dates, I’m thinking of you all ❤️❤️

@PeanuttyButter
Thinking of you today love 💚💐

Sending love today @PeanuttyButter ❤️
You’ve got this 💪🏼💪🏼

13DPO and a BFN for me. No Christmas miracle. Can’t say I’m not gutted, how amazing that would’ve been. Decided to test early to get the disappointment out of the way!

Thanks @Babyghirl @Kelb79

I'm ok actually, felt a bit emotional driving into work and walking past the delivery suite (NHS worker). I think the fact it's my last day in before Christmas is keeping me distracted. Going to light a candle this evening with my husband. Then try and enjoy Christmas the best I can.

Morning (or afternoon now!) Ladies :)

@kelb79 I am also 13dpo and just tested bfn too as wanted to move on and be prepared for AF to arrive tomorrow/Christmas day haha. It does suck because I was thinking how WONDERFUL it would have been to announce to husband on Christmas day and open a present with pregnancy test in for example 🙈 serves me right for thinking hahah

@sunnysideup2020 awwh your tree is super sweet 💗 so my LP has also been 14-16 days BUT I had spotting from as early as 7dpo and what helped that was endometriosis removal! Thatsbecause endometriosis releases estrogen which reduces progesterone and hence causing the spotting potentially

@babyghirl uhh thrush is never fun! I always get it after antibiotics

@peanuttybutter oh that is tough going oast the delivery area 💚💚💚

@Annny27 yup. I had exactly the same thoughts! I so wanted to announce to my partner better than last time when I woke him up crying my eyes out waving a pee stick in his face 🤦🏼‍♀️ Although after the MC I’m not expecting the same levels of excitement 😵‍💫

I had a total meltdown last night 😞 I always get a night around the start of AF when I can’t sleep and lying in the dark with my head makes me overthink! I got completely wound up then ended up having a blazing argument with OH at stupid o’clock this morning. I’ve had about 2 hours sleep abs I’ve got to teach yoga in an hour ffs 😵‍💫😵‍💫 not a great start to Christmas!!!
I was determined to not let it all get to me but I can’t push it away ☹️

@kelb79 I am exactly the same, being a right twat to me DH. What i really wsnt to scream is just "I am not being a twat for no reason, this is the 3rd Christmas I'm a row i am grieving infertility and miscarriages"

I should be putting a toddler to bed tonight and setting up their Christmas pressies in the morning, instead I am watching all my friends share photos of their little families.

Sending lots of love to my sisters on this journey @babyghirl @27donfin @peanutybutter @elm7

Hope babies first Christmas is special @sunnysideup2020 xxx

Thinking about everyone tonight grieving the moments that were supposed to be but aren't. @Annny27 put it really well above. Thank you for all your support this year and this week in particular. Xx

@Annny27 Amen sister 🙏🏼 That is EXACTLY it!!! My guy is pretty understanding but I’m still pushing his buttons! 🤦🏼‍♀️
AF threatening but taking its time, meh 😒

Big love to you all, I’m glad I found you - you make me feel so much less alone through all this crap!!

Happy Christmas lovelies - I hope we can all find some joy ❤️❤️❤️

Merry Christmas everyone. Hope you all have a fab time.

Sorry Iv been awol. Been taking time off trying the last month or so. Hope all are well. I will need to have a catch up and read through.

A couple of weeks ago we managed to get away on holiday to Rome for a few days and I came home with a gorgeous 💍 so this has been a lovely distraction.

@Annny27

@Kelb79
Merry Christmas and hope you enjoy it as much as you can lovely 💚

@27DONFIN
Welcome back girl congratulations on the ring and hope you have an amazing Christmas 💚

@Babyghirl thanks still in shock and just look at my hand all the time lol the timing has been great it's been a total distraction as I was dreading Christmas for the same reasons as you all. Don't get me wrong the social media posts announcing pregnancies the next few days will have their usual affect but hopefully I can forgot them quickly. Have a lovely day tomorrow with your family x

Thanks for all the wishes for the other day. Had a couple days away in Edinburgh to relax!

@apwilso
Awww glad you had a lovely time away and hope you have a merry Christmas xxx
