Hoping to get our BFPs in January ✨

[Decaffe]

All welcome to come along for the ride and lots of support along the way!

Checking in at 5dpo, no symptoms yet!

@HelloNope @DancinOnTheCeiling thank you both 💕

@CJB92 how confusing! I bet it's horrible for you not knowing why and
What is happening 💕

@arianasky, @Brunette1989, sending you both a huge hug. It's so brutal and I know just how you feel.

It took me 10 cycles to conceive my daughter and even then we had a horrible scary bleed at 6 weeks, then for our second it took only 2 cycles to conceive in June - I was over the moon, but found I'd had a missed miscarriage at the 12 week scan. Since then have had a chemical and just... it's exhausting and I know exactly how you both feel.

It's so much harder when you have friends casually getting pregnant all over the shop too. Right now the hormones also make things 10x worse as well.

Feel all your feelings, be sad or angry or resentful. But while you're feeling crap, just know that one day you'll feel happy again. Doesn't have to be today. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Sorry @CJB92, meant to tag you too above. ❤

@Shortmamashortcycles thank you, that was lovely. I felt so deflated and still do, at this point I just want an answer even if it's that I'm no longer pregnant so I can at least absorb and feel that pain, but whilst theres confusion and potential hope its so hard to feel either way. If I went by my body and the severe back pain, rib pain and slight twinges and cramps, I'd say I am. But the tests..they don't help when they are constantly changing.

@arianasky I'm sorry to hear your results this morning are not what you wanted :( have you tried another brand just incase? Maybe I'm not still pregnant but frer never picked mine up but every other brand did. Sending love ❤

@CJB92 I had Superdrug cheapie aswell and there wasn't even a hint of a line, I'm not going to torture myself testing anymore I'll just wait until I bleed now.

@arianasky I'm so sorry that you're going through this esp after such a positive start! You're allowed to feel sad, and you should let yourself feel sad if you need to. Wishing you all the best for your next cycle 💕

@CJB92 your situation is so confusing and frustrating, I can't even begin to imagine what it must actually be like for you! I really do hope you get the clarity to that you need as soon as so you can even crack on with your pregnancy or focus on your next cycle rather than this limbo 😔

I've still not started AF yet and don't have any AF/ BFP symptoms, plus I got a BFN yesterday so I know I'm out. Patiently waiting for AF to come along so I can focus on next cycle although that won't be many chances as I'm going away with OH during O day and they do say travel can disrupt your cycle!

@Shortmamashortcycles I'm so sorry about your losses, I also had a MMC at 12 weeks after getting pregnant in July and now a chemical 😞 I've got pregnant first cycle twice so I'm lucky in that sense but I've lost both pregnancies so I'm not feeling great about that 💕

@arianasky
Fx next cycle is for you, if it was chemical you can be more fertile after? Maybe start opk testing soon and praying it works out next time, lovely ❤

@ttcbabya thank you, it really is frustrating. I just want to know either way. My body says one thing but Dr says another. It's just time to wait it out I guess. Fx are crossed for you! You never know. Our bodies do some strange things sometimes and don't always follow logic 😂

Really @CJB92 wow I never knew that, well as soon as the bleeding is over I guess I'll start testing on OPK's then, thank you 💕💕

@arianasky I am so sorry dear ❤️ but even chemical still counts as miscarriage and you are entitled to have all sorts of exams done to find out the reason why it happens ❤️ don't be afraid to ask for help ❤️❤️

@AlmostLondoner thank you ❤️❤️

A little update ladies I just went for a wee and I had a pink discharge with a streak of red in it 😞 crazy how we know our own bodies though I just knew deep down from Monday morning I was having a chemical, I slowly lost the symptoms I was having and my lines got fainter. A big thank you to you all though from my crazy line spotting from 8dpo 🙈 to now you've been a great help and support to me, can't wait to see who gets BFP's etc from now I'm officially back to TTC with you all ❤️

Hi all

I’m 18 months into TTC number 2. First was straightforward. We have had investigations abs I have PCOS, endometriosis, adenomyosis and a fibroid 🙈…. So there is that.

I started metformin 6 weeks ago. Think I either just ovulated or am about to. What do you think of the opk pic? Any positives??

If I don’t conceive this month I’m starting a stimulated cycle end of this month, so this is my last pre-intervention month

I use the CB digital to take away the guess work but your bottom two look as dark if not darker than the control line, so I'd say those were positive? Again, I use digitals so I could be wrong xx

@arianasky big hugs to you, I'm so sorry! It's completely fine to feel sad, a loss is a loss no matter what stage, we're here to talk on here anytime you need xxx

Top is mine today, bottom is my mums who is definitely not pregnant 😂 so these tests are not faulty. Yet bloods say I have hcg less than 1. And some even more sensitive tests are negative I don't understand! If I go to a scan next Monday I might just take my tests.

Hello everyone,
My Dh and I have been trying for 7 months, I had one chemical in the summer. Stopped waiting and going through all the am I or am I not, as I kept getting so disappointed, I am currently one day late, I am to scared to test though! I keep thinking AF is coming and nothing yet, according to my dates, my average cycle is 25 days, I ovulated on 21st December, I was due on the 4th January. My boobs are really sore, however they always get like this.. good luck to everyone who is hoping to get pregnant… I need the courage to do a test!!

@kizzy97 thank you ❤️

@Emmrob123 you're stronger than I am, just been out on my lunch to buy tests and af isn't due until Sunday 🙈 good luck, sounds promising to me!

@CJB92 what the!? That's crazy so it's not dodgy tests either how strange? Do you have some kind of idea in your mind what might be happening?

@arianasky I completely agree, it's a terrible loss and mourning is ok ❤️❤️ sending loads of hugs and love ❤️

Thank you @AlmostLondoner I will be, I feel like I've known since Monday anyway so I've kind of got my head around it ❤️

Can anyone recommend a good free app for iPhone for tracking your cycle please? I'll still use OPK's but would like an app for an idea aswell

@Emmrob123 sounds like we’re in a similar situation! I’m scared to test early after a chemical in the autumn, AF is due today for me and I have a 25 day cycle too. Do you know when you might test? I have some coming from Amazon tomorrow and i will probably crack into one when they arrive rather than waiting for FMU on Friday. I have no self control and know I’ll just disappoint myself with early tests so can’t keep them in the house.

I’ve been wondering, how much do you ladies keep your partners in the loop re everything TTC? I literally can’t get it out my head, particularly during TWW, but don’t speak about it much with my DH as I know what he’ll say every time (“relax, time will tell, there’s nothing more you can do”).
