Hi ladies! I am back. Had a D&C on Friday. My baby's heart stopped beating at week 6. I am really really devastated. Trying to cope as best I can.

This has just been such a roller coaster ride. No happy ending for me yet.

Back to the drawing board.

baby dust to all.
Cyncan

Morning Ladies (Yawn...waves)

Hi Cyncan - you won't remember me I have only recently started posting on here but I am so sorry to hear whats happened. I had a Surgical Termination at 15wks due to a diagnosis of Annencephaly so I can Kind of understand your grief hunny, although I would never profess to know how you feel. All I know is that Talking is what got me through it. Try to keep strong babe - so so so sorry XX

Hi everone, as I said yesterday I got my peak CD15. I also got a Peak this morning CD16 without even POAS - I was half asleep and a little confused . Then I realised that between CD6 and CD15 I'd used 10 sticks so it probably wouldn't ask me to continue POAS after my Peak - is this correct? If it is I'm such a dumb ass, wasting these bloody sticks!!! .

Speak later XX

Cyncan, I am so sorry about what has happened, hun. Thinking of you at this difficult time and sending you my best wishes.

Storm, this has happened to me before. The CBFM won't make you use another 10 sticks if it has detected the first peak. It will just assume you get a second paek followed by a high then back to lows.

Giraffe, hope you get your peak soon.

Hope everyone else is doing okay.

Cyncan That is awful news. I'm so sorry for you and your other half.

storm congrats on your peak.

Welcome giraffe I lurk more than post as I'm work away a lot but do read when I can.

Watching the game today with hubby but he is Welsh so won't want England to win - that'd be a sore point if we are lucky enough to have kids. We'll cross that bridge (if) and when we get to it.

I had to poas for the first time this cycle and feel positive as now there is hope again after AF. A new cycle a new chance.

I thought that would be the case. Thanks for the insight Lychees

Thanks ladies!! I am slowly recovering and lifting my hopes up. Even though I don't have any desire to try again right now, I am sure it will eventually come.

Can't believe the goal that was robbed from Egland!!!!!

Tell me about it Cyncan - I've just had to pop on here to take my mind off the football.

Hello ladies, can I please join your lovely thread?

My stats are: TTC*2 Cycle6 CBFM Cycle1 age 33 UCL 30-35 CD27

As you can see this is my first month using the CBFM and I was ridiculously excited to get peaks on cd18&19. Just suffering through the 2WW now.

I stupidly told a few close friends in RL that we're TTC and now wish I hadn't as it feels like an added pressure - why didn't I keep my big mouth shut?! Also one friend also started TTC at same time and yesterday told me she's 7wks pregnant, so feeling a bit jealous about that (but genuinely pleased for her at the same time).

Anyway, I just feel that the fab support you all offer each other could be just what I need so I hope you don't mind me joining?

Pink - hello, just added you!

Cyncan - so sorry to hear your sad news. Sometimes it helps to have a little break some people find.

Well day 23 for me, and still high's - since cd 9, no peak for me, 2 months in past 10mths this has happened.

Hi Kesiah, I am going to have a break. I am not planning to ttcing yet. Still need some time to figure things out, and finish mourning. I am sure eventually I will be ready.

Even though my pregnancy didn't end up with a happy ending, I did get pregnant, after trying and trying for more then a year using the CBFM. So keep the hopes up that it does work!

Updated stats... AF arrived on saturday...

Cyncan I'm so sorry... If you want to speak I´m more than available, as I have had already 2 miscarriages where the heart stopped beating... I hope you recover soon and doctors usually say that you are more fertile on the subsequent months of a d&c so hopefully you will feel like trying again in a short time

Updated stats again - some of my info went awol.

cyncan So sorry to hear your news. I've had one MMC and a MC, the second after I got a BFP on this thread as well. So I know how awful you must be feeling. We're all here if you need us. x

Hi Everyone,

Babyhoping - sorry about AF, try try again!!

Cyncan - take your time hun! I was utterly obsessed and probably still am a little and its a horrible feeling!

Well as I have already pointed out, I peaked CD15 & 16. Now my mood is low low low. Feel as though I already know that our SWIing wasn't fruitful and all this waiting around is going to tear me apart. I am SO impatient! But because of the way I feel I am REALLY worried how I will feel when the time comes to POAS - I need an injection of optimitsm. My Positivness has literally disappeared overnight.......

X

Hi everyone, thanks for adding me to the list.

Storm I've been feeling a bit obsessive this month (probably as it's my 1st month using the CBFM) and was getting worried about how upset I'll be if it doesn't happen for me this month. However, I've been out and about this morning and had a fun time out with some lovely friends and it's made me feel a lot calmer about it (for now at least...). I think it helps to try and find something to take your mind off it for a bit and to spend time with people who don't know about your TTC so that it isn't even mentioned. And I try to keep remembering that my turn will come eventually. It's so frustrating though when something so important is taken out of your control.

Babyhoping really sorry that AF showed up for you, hope you're not too down

Welcome Pink! I know the wait can be rather unbearable at times but I'm not sure how many BFP results CBFM gets the first month you try it. I hope for your sake (and Storm, this goes for you too), that you get a BFP on your first attempt, but don't be too disheartened if it doesn't happen. There is always next month (forever an optimist, although running short of optimism myself at the moment with no results and nearly a year of TTC).

Cyncan so sorry to hear your sad news. Hope you recover soon.

Sorry about your AF Babyhoping.

How about this heat everyone? Perfect day to pull a sickie .

Forgot to say welcome, Giraffe!

Thank you all for your kind words!! I am taking the week off and just relaxing. I am going to see the doctor on Thursday to see if the pathology of the fetus shows anything abnormal (other then chromosomal). My temperature is still high, so I am guessing my HCG levels are still high.

I did hear that one is more fertile after a D&C, but not really in the mood. Hopefully soon.

BabyHoping, I would love to hear more about your MCs. Did you get D&Cs too? Choccie I feel for both of you. But we need to keep our hopes up.

We will get our beautiful babies.

xoxoxox

Day 11 and got a high. This month will be difficult to conceive as I'm working 19 days straight (with one night at home) then a day off then 10 days away.

So not really expecting anything this month.

Can you conceive by text/phone?

Morning Everyone.

Welcome Pinkcustard.

Sorry AF got you Babyhoping. Missyraines, sounds like you have a tough [and tiring] job. I feel bad for monaing about my 9 to 6 and the difficulty of the work/life balance . But no, I don't think you'll conceive by text/phone but hopefully your one night at home will coincide with a peak [it can only take the one time].

Storm, the 2ww is the worst. But I can't offer many words of wisdom on that front except to keep busy and occupy yourself with something else . Also, I stop switching my CBFM on every day to somehow lose track . Hope you get your PMA back soon.

I'm hoping to get to the DR's tomorrow for my blood test results and possibly a referral. My first set of 21 day bloosd showed that I had not ovulated so I'm hoping that getting them done on CD25 will have made a difference to the results but I'm quite nervous about it.

Hi Everyone,

Feeling a bit better today! Thanks for your words of encouragement

Its not like me to get all worked up about stuff. When I first decided to get the CBFM I thought it would take the pressure off....slowly I'm realising that the pressure to get PG is still there, infact its more intense because I suppose I'm relying on the monitor to do the work for me! Hey ho....Its a learning curve thats for sure!

Cyncan I was told I'd be more fertile in the months after my surgery too but this has probably only fueled my obsession. Hope everything goes as well as it can at the Doc's hun

Starlet22 & Missyraines Thanks for the advice.

Missyraines I'm presuming that althought the 2WW is pretty tough at any time the first one is the worst! You sound like you've got a pretty hectic Work Life, hope you can get some rest and BD time in soon. Good Luck with the Docs hun. X

Pink - its nice to know that theres someone else at exactly the same stage as me with this CBFM lark amd I'll be sure to try at least and take my mind of things (even if it is for just 5 mins)

I've got my fingers crossed for everyone.

Hello everyone,

Into the two week wait now after a well timed peak arriving on Sunday so DH can abstain now for SA on Thursday.

Storm I know what you mean about the 2ww. Almost immediately each month now I think what's the point? This month will end like all the others. But then there's always that little bit of hope that it's my turn. FX

Hello PinkCustard Cyncan wishing you lots of strength for Thursday and lots of babydust when you decide to TTC again

Lychees I do the exact same thing with the monitor and don't switch it on after first low following ovulation

Hello,

Not much to report here although I'm feeling anxious as AF looms nearer - 'M' was flashing this morning but I wouldn't really expect to see signs of AF until nearer the weekend so a few days of wondering still to go. Thankfully I'm in work tomorrow and Friday so that will keep me busy.

Hope everyone's doing ok xx
