Hoping that's most of you please add anyone I've forgotten 💕

Yep I'm still lurking 😂. CD1 for me. Although I don't think we're trying this month. The phone call from the specialist worried me about having another MC without the treatment, I have kept thinking about just going for IVF though, the thought of hearing 'rock bottom AMH' terrifies me though so I'm in no man's land at the moment. xx

@Indianna2006 @monsteramunch thank you 😊 I deleted my whole Mumsnet account after the chemical in September in despair, got over it, tried to reinstall and it wouldn't let me have my original one back. I'm still searching for the ultimate user name..it'll come to me one day.

Also and I know this is normal because I follow some people but after the 2nd miscarriage someone I had never interacted with randomly commented on it, like in a weird way. I was very hormonal though and switched then. I think after this month I'll not need to comment anymore 😕

CD13 here, but I'm not hopeful. Next month marks a year since the MC. It would just be too symmetrical. And I don't know how I'd tell my DH anyway, the things he said to some friends about not wanting a third at the weekend, he's really not on the same page, and it hurts....

What a busy evening all I can say is I'm thankful 2 year olds don't care about how you wrap presents 😂

@SleepyBlonde happy anniversary and a lovely present ❤️ my opks are still low so 🤞🏼 they rise tomorrow night that will be perfecto 😂

@TheBirdintheCave oooh I'd say you def could still be cooking that eggy!

@LuckyMoonstone yes @TheBirdintheCave is right we are cycle buddy's CD12. The prospect of a BFP absolutely excites me and terrifies me all at the same time. I'm at that point where I feel like it just won't happen 🫣

@LuckyMoonstone kinda glad you are feeling rough because the first bit is notoriously awful so I'm sorry but glad if that makes sense 😅

I'm a bit like @bringmearainbow and @curliegirlie not even slightly hopeful. Even getting my peak will be a struggle in work 🙄 considering I wait 7 mins for an OPK result. I've come to terms with it but damn right I'm using all my OPKs up 🤣

Oooh I've had a big temp drop this morning but opks are still very low not even a whiff of a rise yet 🤷🏼‍♀️

@bringmearainbow Ooh that is a big drop! Did you dtd last night? I can't remember where you're up to in your schedule.

Mine just went up again 🙄

@TheBirdintheCave no we will dtd tonight,tomorrow and Friday. I didn't think we would get in Thursday but I've told him he could only have Tuesday off 😂 it was a good job it didn't rise last night he buggered off to pub quiz 🙄

Ooh did it what are your opks looking like?

@bringmearainbow I love a pub quiz 😂 Did he win? I hope he manages all three days for you!

I've attached my charts. Slight opk rise today but nothing major but the temps are odd. I do have a cold though so maybe that's influencing it 🤷🏻‍♀️

I got the first actually positive OPK that I've managed to catch in months and months today! It's all too depressing.....

@curliegirlie Ooh! Well done for catching it. Are you going to be able to dtd today? xx I'm sorry for what you heard your husband saying by the way. Is there a reason he's gone off wanting a third child?

Basically our experience hosting Ukrainians (and ending up doing lots of unexpected childcare of our guest's 5 year old, who also has Down's syndrome) has made him feel that a third child would be too much. He was saying this to our friend last week, and it just made me feel so sad and angry. Sad that he's not where I am, but also angry that he's forgotten so easily, the due date was November, I'm still struggling with the fact that I "should" be cuddling a 3 month old right now....

So, yeah, there is the chance we could DTD tonight and tomorrow (although I'm feeling knackered) but I'm not sure if it's right if he is now so dead against the idea...

@curliegirlie That's really tough :/ I definitely think his thoughts about it must have been clouded by looking after the guests child though it seems odd that he can't separate the notion of looking after a five year old plus your current children versus a baby plus your current children. Those scenarios are totally different. It's not like yours would come out as an instant five year old 🤔

I'm so sorry you're struggling :( My first loss should have been due in November too and I've been thinking a lot about the anniversary of that positive test coming around. Can you talk to your husband about it? I know my miscarriages affected my husband a lot more than he says.

@TheBirdintheCave no he came 2nd but apparently that was because he missed the first part of the quiz so obv he wasn't there and he would have got them all right 😂 he's very competitive 🤦🏼‍♀️ cold might def be influencing it. When youve done opk in the past what level do they normally sit at as in what's your normal low level

@curliegirlie so sorry lovely it's really hard when he's not on the same page. Can you have a chat and see where he's at sometimes people say things to others that they don't mean as a sort of front

@curliegirlie there's no chance he's just saying this to his friends but feels differently? Whenever someone asks me if I'd like another baby i automatically say no. Why should I tell them that another child is my dream.. December and January are hard months for me with due dates😢 anyway well done for catching the peak 😊. Mines a normal 0.4 today which sits about right with current cycles xx

@bringmearainbow I've no idea unfortunately as the last one I took was when we were trying for G back in 2019 🤔 I think all I can do is keep testing and dtd every other day.

Just been given the go ahead to book our baseline scan and bloods from the clinic so that's exciting.

@SleepyBlonde thank you for your lovely sentiment 😂 haha I get what you mean though, if I feel rough then somethings going right!

@LuckyMoonstone 🤣🤣 I'm glad you understood I felt myself go off on a tangent with the comment 😂

@TheBirdintheCave ahhh I see I thought you were doing them before too 🤦🏼‍♀️

Well opk is still low I'll do another before bed in the hopes it might start to rise 🤞🏼

@bringmearainbow how long is DH away?

@SleepyBlonde he's away for a week so if it happens like tues or later then I'm probs going to be out 🙄 I was feeling hopeful with that temp drop but 🤷🏼‍♀️ tbf I think it will happen this week as I have the right CM

@bringmearainbow 🤞I don't think I've ever had a peak after CD17 but hormones are fickle wee things

I'm trying to talk myself into a GP appointment. I hate being this person but I had painful spikes around one ovary last night. It just doesn't feel right ugh 😩

@SleepyBlonde unfortunately I have which makes me nervous 😅 urgh prob best to have a chat with them then 🙈 I hate going to the go for anything mainly because it's so hard to actually speak to one 🙄 like a true poas addict I did another opk and still low might do one more before bed 😂

@bringmearainbow haha I was considering it but neither of us are up for it 🤣 loads of time CD8..

Well opk still frustratingly low 🙄 hopefully tomorrow 🤞🏼 temp drop must have been a fluke 🤷🏼‍♀️
