Hi ladies,

the other thread is full now!

I will try and add everyone back in but please check if I’ve missed anyone.

@Ncl31 really hope that this is a sticky bean 🥰

@Huriya hiya lovely! 20 weeks already! Time goes fast and a baby boy how exciting. Thank you only 5 and half weeks now so still feels unreal!

@Hotmalibu94 , @Hollie1802 , @etaketak1991 , @ginny93 hopefully you ladies are all doing well?

@Roseberry22, @EK37 , @Myna13 , @NLmum4 @thejollytrolleydolly good luck for this cycle!

@etaketak1991 ahh that’s so lovely!!! Glad you were able to enjoy your Christmas food!!!

Ncl31 · 01/01/2024 20:57

@Hotmalibu94 hes very much of the mindset we won’t get what we want any unless we try.
i was worried because ive found him in a heap of tears a couple of times but he seems okay since ive stopped bleeding.

so I guess, we’re just going to go for it. We’ve spoken to my brother and his wife and they both said “if you’re anything like us, you won’t settle until you’ve got what you desperately want so you might as well try” so we’re both on the same wave length.

CatiaR · 02/01/2024 06:47

@etaketak1991 aww that’s so lovely you got to see your little bean already and doing well 🥰

glad you’re feeling better too! Can’t wait to know when my 12 week scan will be as well I’m about 2 weeks behind 😊

@Ncl31 aww bless him, it’s been a hard time for you both, hugs 🤗

wishing that you are successful whenever you decide to try again ❤️

Another high temp again today! I don’t know whether I should be worried about the quite low temps just after ovulation. Do you think they’re too low?

Ncl31 · 02/01/2024 14:32

@EK37 dont worry too much about those. Everyone’s chart varies, mine was all over the place just before I got my BFP.
when are you due AF?

EK37 · 02/01/2024 14:53

@Ncl31 I am due on Saturday/Sunday so in the last leg now!

etaketak1991 · 02/01/2024 17:56

@EK37 Looks good to me! 🤞 I wouldn't worry about the initial low temps either.

Ncl31 · 02/01/2024 19:23

@EK37 not long at all! Are you waiting to see if AF arrives before you test?
im back to doing my BBT, they reckon you can ovulate 2 weeks after the bleeding starts. So I figured I can’t do any harm in starting to do BBT and OPKs and see where we end up.

one of the girls in my team had a miscarriage in August, then fell pregnant straight away, before she even had a period. Not only did she fall pregnant but she’s having twins! Which apparently is common after miscarriage as you can hyper ovulate.

EK37 · 02/01/2024 19:35

@etaketak1991 thank you - I am trying so hard not to get my hopes up!

@Ncl31 - I am not too sure tbh! I go from wanting to test early to wanting to wait. I used to think getting my period was less upsetting than a negative test but now I think they’re both as disappointing!! I might see what my temp is doing tomorrow and then I might test but I am scared!

Ahh I have everything crossed for you 🤞 I have heard that miscarriage can make you extra fertile too so fingers crossed!!!

EK37 · 03/01/2024 17:01

10dpo today, temp stayed up again this morning so I did a cheap Tesco test this afternoon which I would say is negative, but if I stare at it long enough I feel like I can see the faintest of faintest line if I have flash on and it’s at a certain angle. I think I deffo have line eyes!!

@EK37 personally can't see anything but pictures on here are useless! And as it's 10 days and not FMU every chance it would be a false negative anyway. I'd test again at the weekend... Or every day until then depending on how you feel 😛

@CatiaR how are you, must be super excited for Friday!

@Ncl31 how are you holding up lovely? I've heard the same thing about being more fertile following miscarriage so I have my fingers crossed for you. But please try not to get too upset if it doesn't happen straight away ❤️

CatiaR · 03/01/2024 17:42

@EK37 cant see anything on that one either but 10 dpo is still early so fingers crossed for you 😊

@Hotmalibu94 I’m good thanks! Yeah can’t wait hope they tell me when my 12 week scan is too so I can book flights to go see my family after it. Nausea comes and goes, boobs still sore but not as bad as a few weeks ago but got sore lower back. And got surprised when I sneezed the other day and my tummy got so crampy! How are you doing? When you showed us last at I think 13 weeks you had a little bit of a bump already so you must be starting to proper show now? 😊

Ncl31 · 03/01/2024 17:53

@EK37 i personally can’t see anything but the photos aren’t great on here anyway.
fingers crossed your temp stays up and you get that BFP.

@Hotmalibu94 im okay, physically I feel I’ve returned back to normal now. Bleeding and cramping has stopped and I had a thought about BD this morning which is more than I’ve had since I got my BFP.
psychologically I’m not 100% but I’m driving myself crazy and probably doing myself no good being sat at home. I’m so used to being busy at work all of the time I’ve decided to go back tomorrow. Hopefully it’ll help me back into a routine. If it’s too much then I’ll just come home again.
the fertility centre got in touch today with an appointment for tomorrow for me if I still want to go ahead with the ovulation induction drug trial, so I’m going to go to that and hopefully get some meds ready for my first period after the miscarriage - at least that way I know I’m doing something o help too.

@CatiaR oh how exciting for you!! I hope they do give you a date for your scan, I bet you can’t wait to tell family.

etaketak1991 · 03/01/2024 17:54

@EK37 I can't see anything I'm afraid, but I only got a faint positive at 11DPO with FMU! Still a chance 🤞

@CatiaR Oh yeah, the round ligament pain isn't fun! I stood up too quickly today at the beginning of a lesson and had to style it out 😂

CatiaR · 03/01/2024 18:05

@Ncl31 aww yeah I bet it’s not easy and hard to not be in your head if you’re home, glad that physically at least you’re better and that you can still do that trial. Hope it’s successful next time 🥰

@etaketak1991 oh yeah only had a couple of instances but damn didn’t expect that so early on! Or well I don’t have anything to compare it to but seemed too early for that since I’m only 8 weeks tomorrow.

ahhh that must have been a sight 😂 cooly disguise it 🤭

EK37 · 03/01/2024 18:07

@CatiaR @Ncl31 @etaketak1991 @Hotmalibu94 thank you! Honestly the whole thing can make me a little crazy this is why I don’t test early 😂

i have now edited it on insta to sharpen lines which I have attached, I am deffo seeing things aren’t I 😂

@EK37 well on that one I feel like I can see something. Hopefully turns into bfp !

OP posts:
EK37 · 03/01/2024 18:41

@CatiaR it’s so hard not to have line eyes 😂 I will test in a couple of days I think!

etaketak1991 · 03/01/2024 20:17

@EK37 Oh I think I see something there too now 👀 Are you testing tomorrow am? Fingers crossed!

EK37 · 03/01/2024 20:42

@etaketak1991 oh I am glad you can see it as well! Makes me feel less crazy! i am not sure, I have a first response in my cupboard that I could use first thing! I feel really nervous about it

Hotmalibu94 · 03/01/2024 22:26

@CatiaR I didn't get my scan date at my booking appointment because it was a different department but my date came within a week so hopefully you'll know soon either way! Hopefully your nausea doesn't progress 🤞 weird pains are part and parcel it seems! It felt like my body started to fall apart as soon as I got pregnant 😂

I'm never sure, sometimes I just feel like it's belly fat but I'm sure I was never this big before 😂 if I wear fitted clothes other people can see a bump and my uniform feels tight so it just be bumping 😂 otherwise good, have my midwife appointment tomorrow! Have cut down to just one antisickness tablet a day and I naughtily scanned myself at work yesterday 🙈 not very well mind but I saw them briefly!

@Ncl31 I'm glad you're feeling better a little. Take it easy when you're back at work. Think taking the meds definitely can't hurt can it! Fingers crossed for you x

Hotmalibu94 · 03/01/2024 22:27

@EK37 oooh I can see a vvvfl maybe? Keep us updated!

CatiaR · 03/01/2024 23:02

@Hotmalibu94 aww how cute that you seen them a little 🥰 ooh another appointment good luck with that.

well either way I’m sure you’ll be proper showing soon enough!

EK37 · 04/01/2024 08:17

I am going to test tomorrow morning!! Will let you all know 😊

etaketak1991 · 04/01/2024 08:42

@Hotmalibu94 I think it took me until about 20 weeks last time before it stopped looking like I had a food baby 😂 It's on its way for you though!! Sometimes you see influencers with bumps at like 8 weeks but I think it's all them sucking in/pushing out.

@EK37 Good luck for tomorrow! 🤞

I've got my booking appointment in 30 mins! Trying to drink lots of water as I have deep veins and it's always a pain having bloods done 🙃
