Apologies for those I have forgot to tag - please add yourself :)

@Annny27 just catching up massive congratulations 💕 how you been keeping?

@Babyghirl I'm so sorry to hear about your friend but what a lovely present she has sent you. How are you keeping? X

@Annny27 hope the 2 weeks go quick for you, glad the 2nd scan showed a better measurement x

@Babyghirl im so sorry about your friend but wow, congratulations! Have you got the progesterone? I know you was talking about it before x

@Kelb79 thought I'd dreamt it but might give it a whirl!

@Annny27 oh does it. Well I sometimes have it I sometimes don't so will try it plus got a cold anyway so might work for both things

3dpo and started progesterone this morning.
Feeling really positive and hopeful this cycle and I'm worried that I'm going to come crashing down when it's a BFN. I've even done what I shouldn't do and look when my due date would be which would mean I finish for Xmas ..which just makes it worse and I know I shouldn't do it but couldn't help myself. DH seems optimistic too. Friend who was due on my due date has just had her baby, which is wonderful news but also bittersweet as you can imagine. I know my time will come however and whenever to have a family just want it to be sooner rather than later.
How are you getting on @Kelb79

@PeanuttyButter I'm feeling really positive and hopeful with you! Loads of love. Xx

Lol sorry for repeating my post! It kept saying the server was down! X

Due dates are so hard. I've gone passed mine which was 21st December and a girl from my school had a baby which had exactly the same due date so that's bittersweet to see her little baby and that should have been me

@PeanuttyButter defo hold onto that positive attitude!! The potential let down always hurts but positivity really might help it to be a better outcome ❤️❤️❤️
im doing a bit better with my headspace, stopped crying all the time 🫣
but 14DPO BFN but no real sign of AF. Meh!! I know I’m out with the BFN so I’d rather she just got the hell on with it!! 🙄

Eurgh!! I hate my body’s ability to manifest symptoms so well!!
waiting for AF to show and getting loads of creamy CM that I keep thinking is AF! Plus constant needing to pee but it only bring the tiniest bit!! Meh!!! 😐😐

Haha I feel you @Kelb79

Right girls. Why are my nipples so sensitive and painful to touch. This last miscarriage I've had some lactation. It doesn't seem to be going anywhere and I think that's a source of my nipple issues. How can I stop it.

@PeanuttyButter oh god that’s frustrating bless you!! I’ve got zero experience of that - I don’t think my pointless little girls have ever come close to figuring out what they’re for! 🙄 boots have some great creams for breastfeeding ouchies that might help maybe? But I’d defo be thinking about talking to my GP/fertility team on this one. Can you get a phone consult maybe?

im a day late for AF with zero signs of it coming but constant BFNs. Sore boobs still, around nipples, feels like they’re bruised. No AF cramps. No nothing 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ I guess having Covid has messed up my cycle a bit? Or maybe the acupuncture has extended my cycle?? It needs to be a touch longer really 🤔🤔
god knows but that “your period is 1 day late” message on my Premom app is messing with my fragile little mind!!! 😐😐

@Kelb79 it's rubbish when you feel like you're in limbo. You either need your BFP or you need AF to hurry along so you can start again. Either way no period is a good thing for the time being. How many dpo are you?

I had this kind of lactation years ago when I had the Mirena coil fitted, the GP sent me to the breast clinic who basically said I was over stimulating them causing them to lactate...
My DH is not a boob man and I certainly don't sit playing with them haha plus like I said it started with the last lot of bleeding.
I'm 4dpo and it's the longest 4 days of my life so far hahs

@PeanuttyButter im ho early not 100% sure where I am but Premom is usually bang on with its predictions. It predicted OV as CD11 this cycle and I got my closest to an OPK peak on day 10 but it wasn’t very high - I was drinking loads and testing not very much as I was mid covid! So I’m not 100% sure 😵‍💫 covid may have knocked it all out of whack tbh!! God knows! Gotta wait and see I guess!
I’m feeling proper nauseous right now but I know I’m very good at imagining that!!! 🤣🤣

Hello AF.
Hello cycle 37 of TTC. (Yep, I counted 😣)
I’ve made some decisions today.
My due date is in 2 days, I’ve subconsciously given this entire time to our angel baby.
i hadn’t realised it but there was no way I could move on until I get past this day.
that time was theirs.
I’m getting a little cherry blossom tattoo for them and then I’m moving forwards, I have to.
OH bought me a book to read - a map of miscarriage. And I’m starting to get the ball rolling with the IVF.
I hope it doesn’t come to that, obviously we’d all prefer natural but if it’s not gonna happen that way then I need to face that.
thanks for all your support guys, I honestly don’t think I’d cope without this forum xxxx

Oh @Kelb79 I am so sorry for where you find yourself and definitely agree there's like a mental hurdle to get over before the due date of a loss is past. We planted bulbs for ours - I think your tattoo sounds like a lovely idea. Big hugs today 💕

@Kelb79 Really sorry to hear AF arrived. Your cherry blossom tattoo seems like a lovely idea. I hope you get your rainbow bfp soon! I have a friend who tried IVF after years of TTC and she now has a healthy 6 month old. Xx

Sorry that af arrived so close to due date @Kelb79 but the tattoo sounds like a lovely idea of remembering baby 💗💗 I thought about getting one but wimped out as I don't have any tattoos haha

Well just an update girls 5 weeka today according to my last period and i have juat got a 3+ on a clear blue weeks test nevrr had that before 💝 could this be my rainbow. Xx

Never seen this

That's amazing news @Babyghirl I've got my fingers crossed for you xx

My NIPT results came back low risk for the 3 chromosome issues (Downs syndrome, Edwards and pateus) which is a good first step in my testing:)

Glad to hear it @Babyghirl 💗

@PeanuttyButter how are you getting on with the progesterone?

@H0peing did you stop progesterone 16 weeks cold turkey or phase off them? I have some 200mg ones from when I was using them in the luteal phase a year ago so wondering if I could take them for a bit after 16 weeks to phase off
