New thread ladies 🌈✨💕

@LuckyMoonstone wahooo great news! My advice to you is start bding now. This month really threw me and I think that's why we've had a dud cycle as I didn't start earlier 🤦‍♀️ that's really interesting. We are the same. We both work and have our youngest which means we are tired by bedtime! How does DH feel about self insemination? I'm not sure mine would be very onboard with it but I'm becoming more opening to ideas the longer this goes on!

How's everyone doing? Anyone daring to test? I'm 10dpo although maybe less if I ovulated a bit later, don't have any hope this month so now just wanting af to come so we can start again

@bunnykins123 well we’ve been doing it all week because I thought I may have ovd earlier so now we’re going to have to carry on 😆 I thought he’d feel a bit offended, but he’s not bothered at all. He wants another baby as much as I do. Like I said we still DTD regularly, but when one of us really isn’t up for it we’ve got a back up plan so we don’t miss any fertile time!

@bunnykins123 hoping your line progresses and you can be our BFP this month!
@Sassy144 I managed to avoid testing again this morning. BFN yesterday @ 12dpo so just waiting for AF tomorrow now.
@LuckyMoonstone so whatever you need to do! I’ve been known to just jump on at the end…

@Louisa89614 that did cross my mind! I put it to DH that it meant he could just do whatever he wanted, think about whatever he wanted, not feel pressured like oh I’ve got to finish so we can get pregnant, or worry about doing anything to impress me (not that I’d ever make him feel like I wasn’t enjoying it or was getting impatient, but these kind of thoughts creep in when you’re feeling a bit of performance pressure!)

@bunnykins123 ahhhh no it’s defo AF started full flow today gutted to say the least 😔 I had high hopes and it is only my first cycle but still I keep thinking I would have been x weeks by now if I didn’t have a MMC, but the sooner AF is done with I can start with a new cycle. Once I got my head around it, I’ve decided to make a new goal to lose more weight as I’ve lost 12lbs so next goal is to lose 6 during this cycle 😊 It’s all the waiting I hate! Hopefully you get a bfp especially if AF hasn’t arrived for you 😊

@Lizm1990 I'm so sorry AF arrived. It's hard the first one after a miscarriage. This is my 2nd cycle after my last miscarriage and I was so hoping it would be a bfp. I've started planning today what we will do next cycle. It's all really getting to me now 😢

@Louisa89614 thank you! Although I'm not hoping it's a bfp at this stage. The line was far too light and I've been here before in 1 of my last miscarriages where is ended up being a chemical. I'm sorry you had a bfn, I actually think they are mentally harder than AF arriving!!

@LuckyMoonstone that's a really good idea! I have read success with it but I'm not sure I'm quite ready to try that yet! Which one will you use? I've read about one called Mosie?

@Sassy144 👋 welcome to the DPO club - seems like there are a few of us as cycle buddies! Do you have any symptoms? I'm 12dpo today and waiting for AF on Monday. I so want to be done with this cycle now!!! It's been so whacky!

@bunnykins123 I completely agree, the thing is I think it’s the pressure and then we have no control over it other than making sure we get to it when we ovulate. God I wish we could just make it happen for us all! 🥰

@bunnykins123 literally just a clean cup, and I’ve been using these little syringes that I bought years ago for collecting colostrum, they work surprisingly well!

@bunnykins123 How u doing today lovely? Did u test again or holding off? Everything crossed 🤞🏻 for u xx

I was idiot enough to buy some Sainsbury tests today (Boots were completely out of stock of anything) and think I can see something. BUT a) I know these in particular have a dreadful reputation and b) I’ve started bleeding a bit today. So, still a bit of a waiting game…..

@curliegirlie I see something!

@curliegirlie I see it! Fingers crossed the bleeding stops 🤞

@calimc83 soooo I stuck to my word and didn't test again. Proud of myself but equally now symptoms spotting and asking all the 'what ifs'. I am going to wait till Monday when AF is due and go from there. Totally expecting it to arrive though! Also DD has covid so I'm sure I'll get that soon too 🤦‍♀️ how's things going with you?!

@LuckyMoonstone I would never have thought of using them for anything other than collecting colosseum! Very creative thinking!

@Lizm1990 so true, especially when you're told at school you only need to do much as look at a boy and 'bam' you are now with baby.

Hmmm, yes the bleeding seems to have stopped for now…but a final cheapy I found is about as stark white as you can get. When will this drama end?! I think my gut feeling is that I’ve stumbled upon the dreaded crap Sainsburys tests evaps. Should never have bought the bloody things. Just kind of hope the bleeding restarts again so at least I can let go and accept it’s the end of my cycle (and at 30 days that would be a decent length!)

@bunnykins123 well done with holding off! I'm excited for you - everything crossed 🤞🏻 for Monday! I'm ok - did my final ( I hope!) test yesterday which was a dye stealer so I'm going to step away from the tests for now...xx

@curliegirlie I don’t want to give you false hope or complicate matters more but I can see a line on your internet cheapie

Ooh, huge congratulations for the dye stealer @calimc83!

Looks like after the start-stop faffing yesterday I came on properly over night. Whilst it’s obviously a disappointment I haven’t joined the “caught again straight after miscarriage” crew, new cycle, new start and all that…

@curliegirlie ah never mind :( I’ve got line eyes from looking at too many tests then!

@curliegirlie I get the disappointment about that too, I read so much about how you’re extra fertile after MC, and so many people on here seemed to get a BFP straight away, so I’m a bit like why hasn’t it happened for me :(

@LuckyMoonstone it hasn't happened for me either 😔 I'm on my second cycle since a miscarriage in Jan. CD15 and no ovulation yet 😩

@curliegirlie sorry you got your period. I thought for sure I was successful last month and was genuinely surprised when my period arrived!!

@bunnykins123 I haven't tested and no symptoms, my temp dropped this morning and feeling like af is on her way today

@LuckyMoonstone no I really think that must have been a trick of the light. Here’s he other photo of it I took.

Currently having an internal debate about how much I’m going to throw at this cycle. Initially I was all for the relaxed just NTNP approach, but not sure I cope particularly well with the uncertainty of not knowing O and hence when I’m due on. So I suspect another batch of OPKs will fall into an Amazon order in the next week…

@curliegirlie Thank you ☺️. It's still such early days, trying to be realistic at the mo 😬🙈..sorry to hear AF got you. If it helps, I had the same concerns as u and was gutted when I didn't fall first time after MC. I have a friend who's a consultant in IVF, she told me it's always good to get that first AF out the way and let the lining of your womb build up again and get super healthy and thick. That kept me going xx

@curliegirlie Im came on too my first cycle after my MMC (CD3 now) and like you I don’t think I can handle not knowing so I’ll probably buy some more easy at home tests, it’s gutting I felt like I had symptoms but it was clearly AF 😩 hopefully this will be our cycle 🤞

AF didn't appear on the holiday, and I was desperate to test by the last day because I was feeling super nauseous.

Soon as I tested, I had to let you all know.
