TTC a Rainbow...

[Halpmer]

Hello everyone. I thought I'd start a thread to see if anyone else is out there TTC their rainbow baby 🌈 and wants to join me?

Any loss is a valid loss here, early miscarriage, late miscarriage, chemicals, TFMRs etc. I know we can sometimes face judgement from others or have others not understand!

@SnookyPook that's such a good way to look at it for future reference - the possibility of it being the first day of my next pregnancy.

@sunflower1988 I'm tempted to start tracking BBT for funsies, but also know that I'm not the best sleeper at the minute 🥴 so perhaps not a good idea, I feel like it might help me understand what's going on if I do end up with a really long cycle or something.

@Kellyaust fingers crossed for us! Like SnookyPook said, these could be the first days of our next pregnancy 🤞🏻❤️🌈

Yes agreed @SnookyPook very optimistic and positive way of looking at it!

Can I join? I'm so sick of it all

We're TTC #2, since we had our first baby I've had two ectopics and lost one fallopian tube. I'm 9DPO and feeling every single sign of pending period starting and I'm just sick of it. Sick of pee sticks, sick of thinking about it all. Urgh.

Sorry to bring the thread down, TTC is so draining.

@lemonyfox you're very welcome here, no matter what the tone. I'm sorry for your losses. Sometimes you just need to vent, it's all so draining sometimes (especially when losses are in the mix).

Thank you, sorry for being such a downer. AF arrived this morning anyway, so I'll try to forget about it for a couple of weeks now and look forward to the next cycle.

Good luck everyone 🤞🏻❤️

@lemonyfox so sorry you're struggling, and sorry that AF arrived. It is so hard to keep hoping and then having it crushed again and again. But we have to keep going don't we. I often find my mood picks up a bit once I've accepted the reality of AF and can start building up hope etc for the next cycle. Take a few days to treat yourself a bit and psych yourself up. Big hugs xx

Hey! Can I join? Had two Mc last year, annoyingly I felt pregnant straight away for both of them! Trying since feb this year and has a chemical in may. Iv one son who is 2 really want a sibling for him.
I'm 11dpo and still no BFP. Had pinky red blood on tissue when I wiped at 9dpo. Thought might be implantation bleeding but still no positive test! Have a hen party tomorrow really wanted to know before that 😂 think I'm due AF Sunday/Monday

Hey @Daniki . So sorry for your losses. I also have a 2 yr old boy who I'd love to give a sibling! Also very similar stage of tww. Currently 9dpo and due AF next Tuesday I think so just trying to be patient....

You're not out yet. Apparently some people don't even implant until 12dpo so... 🤞🏻As they say, you're not out until AF shows 😊

@SnookyPook oh hopefully you get yours! 🤞🏻 with all my pregnancies I got a positive at 9dpo so trying not to get too deflated! Altho I'm starting a new job on Tuesday so that is a distraction and I don't mind AS much 😂

I've felt completely deflated and down this morning and then got in a vicious cycle thinking "well this is obviously pms and I'm obviously out" - beautiful sunny day here and I was crying on my way round the dog walk 🤦🏼‍♀️ just one of those days I guess. My gut feeling isn't great for this cycle but we'll see I guess.

@SnookyPook it's so hard! I always wonder then is the emotional side of it means I am pregnant as I'm over emotional 😂

@Daniki haha true... Can't win can we!

@SnookyPook defo not, our bodies like to trick us as much as possible 😂

@lemonyfox you don't have to apologise, it's really shit sometimes and you're allowed to express that you're fed up with it all - you're not a downer, you're just struggling and being honest about it ❤️

@Daniki sorry for your losses. It's such a pain not to know whether you are preggo or not when there's an occasion 😂

@Halpmer I know! I'll be balls deep in shots tomorrow and then find out I'm pregnant Sunday knowing my luck 😂

@Daniki could be your 🌈 baby being kind and letting you have one last party before the pregnancy!

@Halpmer aw that's a nice thought 😂🤩

Hi all
Sorry to hear about your losses, TTC is such a hard, draining process.
Hoping I can join? I had two chemicals before conceiving my DC who is nearly 2. Started ttc number two in January and miscarried at 6 weeks last weekend. Was pretty rough as I thought I was past the point of a chemical so had allowed myself to get excited thinking maybe I'd have an easy ride this time and then started cramping and bleeding suddenly 😞. Had a scan to confirm everything was gone today and feeling strangely better now I have some closure.
I feel ready to ttc straight away although my tests are still really positive and I'm still bleeding (day 7) so hoping I ovulate realtively soon. Just want to be pregnant again, I was so excited 😢

Well I think I'm out this month and af is on the way as have had a bit a of spotting. It's just like a punch each month when it appears.

I've got a hycosy booked for 28th so hopping that will help or at least give me some answers. Has anyone had one before as not sure what to expect.

Welllll I'm out 🙃 hope to take my mind off it next month as starting a new job next week! Hopefully the distraction will help!

Hello, is it ok if I join please? I just started my own thread and then noticed this one you guys have.
I had to have a tfmr on 31 may. Had a scan to confirm all was clear in uterus.
I have now started to bleed for the first time since that so I think today is cd1 but we will see what happens.
The pregnancy was our only natural conception in 10 years of not using protection, we had ivf with icsi 6 years ago to have our wonderful daughter, so I’m hoping for another natural miracle!

How's everyone doing? Currently CD9 and anxiously awaiting ovulation to try again this month... That was first af since mmc so hopefully something happens this month 🤞

Welcome @oop and @Zara1234uk - so sorry for your losses 😞

@Daniki sorry AF has appeared but fingers crossed for this new cycle. X

@Kellyaust hope you see ovulation soon and have a good cycle.

10dpo here but not really feeling much. Suspect I'll be seeing AF too in a few days!

@oop sorry for your losses, especially the most recent one. The hurt must be so fresh 💔. I understand feeling better with the closure and also understand wanting to get back to trying as soon as possible. The waiting is so hard.

@YYY-85 sorry you're out. Sending hugs if you're a hugger and pats from a distance if not.

@Daniki new job is definitely a good distraction. Hope you enjoyed the hen!

@Zara1234uk I'm so sorry 😞

@Kellyaust doing okay here, CD4 here so not far behind you. Still on my period of course, so we shall see when that subsides! Also first since our loss, and I'm squeezing my fingers and toes crossed desperately for success this month 🤞🏻🤞🏻.

@SnookyPook I'll cross my fingers for you, there's chance to see a bfp yet, but I know that feeling of not feeling a whole lot and it's hard to shake.

@SnookyPook ahhhh you never know, keeping my fingers crossed for you 🤞

@Halpmer how have you found af? I was expecting something horrendous with all the horror stories I've read about the first af... But it wasn't really any different to usual... Apart from I had brown spotting for 2 days at the end. Ovulation predicted for Saturday so we shall see what this month brings 🤞🌈
