@HopeAndStrength
@xxcxdonxx
And @SnookyPook for if/when you feel like you might want to come back xx

Sorry if I've forgotten anybody, I realise most of you guys have had your BFPs and there's only a few off us left waiting, but at least you know the thread is here so come back and keep us updated with all your lovely pregnancy stories 😊 For those of us still here, hopefully it won't be too much longer 🙏💖 xx

I'm taking proceive advanced fertility @HaylsTtcAfterLoss, I did try cytoplan but the levels look better in proceive so I've switched. I've also bought vitamin c and d as I've always been low with that when they've looked at my levels as part of coeliac review so trying to top them up lol

My partner has started zinc this month so it will be interesting to see if that has any affect.

Tbh sometimes I just like chatting to you lot @Jadeypie but hoping this break next week does us both some good and we just chill lol I'll try switch off a bit but no doubt when I'm lounging around the pool I'll be on here 🤣

@SnookyPook ah really maybe I still have some hope then haha! So happy for you though, such nice news 😊

@Jadeypie that’s good news about your drs appointment, sounds promising! Let us know how the tests go

@Westy22 Ah I think I’ve seen those on the boots website! I splurged on some Wild Nutrition ones this cycle but I ovulated later than usual so I don’t think I’m going to take them next cycle and opt for something else instead. Let me know how he finds the zinc, my partner just takes a multivitamin at the moment

@SnookyPook that’s amazing news, delighted for you!! 🥳

Oh my god @SnookyPook that's amazing!!! 😃🙌💕 So happy for you xx

@Westy22 Hopefully it comes soon and it's a short one so you can enjoy the holiday and have fun bd'ing in the sun 😎😉 I also think I need to make peace with my uterus 😂

@Jadeypie glad you got a shit loaf of bloods done, hopefully that'll give you a better idea 🤞

@HaylsTtcAfterLoss Im taking proceive max sachets, just finished my first month of them. They're really expensive but I've heard lots of good reviews so will see 🤷‍♀️

AF just finished for me and I'll pretty much be starting fertile window tomorrow going by my last short cycles so it'll be straight down to business 😂

@xxcxdonxx hope you're doing ok xx

@HopeAndStrength awww hat must have been lovely seeing him sucking his thumb ☺️ And the movements too, I'm sure it feels proper real now! X

Af is in full swing, hopefully settles down by monday/Tuesday lol @Sez281 happy fertile window eve 🤣🤞 x

Thanks @Sez281 all fine here 💜
Good luck to you for the next few weeks!

@Westy22 aww thats crap but make sure u do something to turn it a positive have some wine enjoy the mental break from ttc.

I'm still spotting thought af had nearly stopped but no back to btts of blood again seriously pissing me off now I've been like this since the 24th of august 😒 😑 also poas well a ovulation one just out of pure curiosity gathering there's always two lines @Sez281 is that like my base line thingy? It's not ad dark as the control line obviously it's its very noticeable xx

That's so crap @Jadeypie 😫 Hopefully it's the last clear out and you'll be completely spot free from tomorrow 🤞 Yeah the 2nd line is your test line, you'll always see it. Your readings may fluctuate for the week so don't worry if it rises and falls a lot. The day of your peak it'll be really high, you might only catch it before it starts to go back down again. I'll send you pic of my chart from last cycle to give you an idea xx

@Jadeypie you can see I pretty much have to start testing twice a day after AF as there's only a short space to my fertile window.

@Sez281 thanks another! Gives me something to go off when I'm looking at them haha x

@SnookyPook omg!! I'm so so excited for you. How are you feeling, physically and emotionally?
I've been woken up by acid reflux and was grumpy but this has cheered me right up 😅
I hope you can manage to enjoy things and not feel too anxious but we're here for you whatever you're feeling.

Thanks everyone! @Hankthehonk haha glad to have cheered you! Right now I'm actually feeling really excited. I wasn't sure if I would but I just feel a feeling of calm. I think it's not fully sunk in yet and there is also a bit of me not fully committing to it in a way just in case... but for the most part I just feel excited! I know it will be crushing if it's another loss but I want to celebrate this little bean as much as possible while I can and hopefully this one will stick! 🤞🏻🌈💕

@SnookyPook That is brilliant, I so hope you can hold on to that positivity! I was an anxious wreck until 12 weeks and wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Will you continue testing? I was checking line progression until I got a dye stealer but perhaps you've got a healthier approach to it 😅

I've not tested today... I'll probs test tomorrow just to see how it's looking and I've splashed out on a ClearBlue weeks predictor one that I'm saving until next week and hopefully see the HCG has gone up enough for the 3+ (although I know those can be a bit hit and miss). I'm going to try not to obsess too much and just trust the process... 🙃 (Haha wait for me to get manic and petrified in another week when it's sunk in!)

@SnookyPook that’s great news to see, congrats❤️ Everything crossed it all goes well. It’s deff an emotional journey after loss but celebrating the exciting moments is the right attitude🥰 will ur epu do an early scan for you do u know?

@Westy22 sorry to hear about af, at least she came before Monday so u can have the worst of it over before ur holiday. Enjoy a few drinks and some chill time❤️

@Jadeypie thats a tough for weeks for u, very frustrating. I hope u get some answers from ur GP. The not knowing what’s going on and where my body was at killed me, u just want to take back some control ❤️

I find I’m deff not on MN as much this last month or so, we’re back to school now too so I’m just busier but the constant anxiety phase has eased too so that’s helped a bit. Although I do get nervous before every scan it’s deff not as all consuming as it was until about 15 weeks.

@DmcinT thanks lovely! Great to hear from you and lovely to hear that you're a lot less anxious these days! Not sure about my EPU. I've not told anyone yet... I'll probs register with the midwives next week and maybe give the EPU a call closer to 7/8 weeks. That was danger point for me last time so I think all being well I'd like a scan around 8.5/9wks this time - if EPU won't do it I'll get one myself. X

Morning ladies... my excitement might be short-lived this time. Tests lighter today so think it's probably a chemical. Trying to hold on to the positive that I got pregnant again and if it wasn't viable I'd rather lose it now than when I was more invested. 😌 hey ho...

@SnookyPook oh no - it may still be ok, have you got any pink dye tests? I found the boots early response ones just as good as first response.
If it is a chemical I'm gutted for you but well done on having a positive mindset. Sending a hug x

Awww@SnookyPook I'm so sorry to hear that. What tests did you use? Some of the internet ones actually show up better in the afternoon and not fmu. When is AF due? I really hope it isn't a chemical but I totally agree that it would be better to find out now than a few more weeks in 😞, and also you're right to take it as a really positive sign that you did get pregnant again. Hope you're doing ok xx

I’m really sorry to see that @SnookyPook
It is indeed really positive that you did get pregnant.
Thinking of you and sending hugs xx

J@SnookyPook sorry to see this but don’t lose hope, some tests deff just come up lighter❤️ Crossing everything that it’s just that test and you have a sticky little bean xxx

@SnookyPook keeping my fingers crossed its just a dodgy test xxx
