Join me TTC1ers xx

I'm so sorry too Hopeful - but you're right, you know you can get pregnant now, and I'm hoping it wont be long now until your next and final BFP. xxx

So sorry hopeful.

Look after yourself and treat yourself this weekend

Oh @Hopefulbunny I'm so sorry. To have it for a moment is so bittersweet. As you say, a flicker of hope that your body can make hcg but so terribly unfair to have it taken. Be kind to yourself.
In terms of trying again, the doctors like you to wait until you've had a normal bleed after your MC but it's more to help them date the pregnancy I believe. I'd say whenever you're ready xx

So sorry Hopeful

I think you can TTC pretty much straight away with an early MC but your ovulation date may be a bit off for a month or two

I'm so sorry and sad to hear this hopeful , miscarriage is so cruel. I really hope it's not before you can try again and get your sticky BFP xxx please take good care of yourself xx

I'm so sorry hopeful - I hope the weekend gives you some rest and recovery time, take care of yourself xx

Aw Hopeful just reading this, so sorry to hear your sad news. Look after yourself petal. 💐

@OverinaFlash well done on your amazeballs weightloss! I really must get going on this again myself.

@sk1pper thanks for your kind thoughts 😘

IVI contacted me on Friday with my new protocol - they close the theatre and lab through Christmas so I have to take the pill for a month and then start. I had to make a mad dash to a chemist in the East End that accepts prescriptions by email yesterday so that I could be ready to start when AF got here - she was kind enough to show an appearance at about 11pm last night. I think today will be very painful but I will dose up on naproxen and puppy love 🐾🐾🐾💓💓💓🐶🐶🐶

@sk1pper please can you remind me of castor oil pack process - can I start with AF or do I have to wait?

@Hopefulbunny I am so very sorry. Please take it easy. Have you considered going to an Early Pregnancy Unit? They can check to see that all is fine. This is important before you try again. And for that - they normally suggest you wait at least one cycle but I have always had to wait longer for my AF to come back after my MCs.

I've started spotting this morning so I think round 1 is a big fail. Feel pretty devastated to be honest but at least looking forward to getting life back on track a bit after putting everything on hold for months. I think I'm going to take a break from Mumsnet for a bit - I'll keep up with you all through WhatsApp but the temptation to look at other threads and see positive tests and better outcomes than mine is a bit tough. Good luck to you all xxx

I'm so sorry hopeful, you are so brave to remain positive, but you're right, that little miracle is possible and you are certainly living up to your name, sending massive hugs. Xxx

Girls that haven't made the jump to our WhatsApp group, we would love to see you over there, pm Sk1p to be added. Xxx

Wow this thread moves fast!! So many people - it's sadly reassuring?? Thank you for all the welcomes!!

Hope all's going well jam. Crossing everything for you!

That's mad about your hearing alexia! Perfect time to learn BSL?

kwick. You are so resilient through this. I am sorry it isn't better news for you!! I feel like I read a thread way back in the day (starky?) and really admired your grit.

flash I had the same oddly deflated devastated reaction when I was told my tsh was fine about a year ago. I just wish that had been the explanation.

lemony my consultant wont talk about pcos either!! He's quite happy to say pco/pcos about me?? I would have thought it mattered?? But then they'd actually need to test my fsh to lh ratio, though a couple physical symptoms point to pcos. Have tried reducing sugar and am taking inofolic anyway...

skipper they didn't even test me for ov (cd21 test) before saying oh she has polycystic ovaries/ pcos, so straight on the clomid. No hsg, do not collect £200.

hopeful I've had two chemicals. They're awful. No platitudes - I'm sorry you've had this happen to you. I still get upset about the one I had back in march sometimes...

Clomid cycle 2 has been a fail for me. Off to consultant on the 11th. Going to ask not just next steps (assuming 3 more cycles of clomid?) but what the long term might be like. He'll probably shout at me though for not having hope. Nope. Af started today and I'm not even devastated, just annoyed slightly.

Have decided to quit teaching. I work all day sundays and every night for a few hours. And the kids at my school aren't nice... if I'm not pregnant by Easter, I'm handing in my notice. Would love any suggestions for an ex physics teacher!!

Thank you everyone for your kind words.
I feel okay but keep getting moments of sadness. I had already booked a GP appointment when I got my BFP so I will still keep the appointment but will now sadly have to say it failed.

I'm really hoping it won't be too long but I'm worried its going to be even harder if I don't get a BFP now and I'm 36 so need to get moving quickly. I have to stay positive.

Hi to everyone will have a proper catch up soon.

Sorry clomid hasn't worked for you yet Kate , I know what you mean about feeling annoyance at AF - there's no surprise anymore. Really hope you have a good proactive appointment on the 11th. Having a career change too sounds like a really positive step - you've sounded unhappy teaching for a while and you have the control to change this - which makes a refreshing change to the lack of control we have over getting pregnant.

I can add people to our whatsapp group too, please dm if you'd like to join.

Hopeful I'll be keeping everything crossed for you. You're still in perfectly good time xxx

jam I've felt lost in teaching when my fertility troubles started to boil up. Perhaps it's a reflection of how lost and adrift I feel... but I do know that I got a raft of complaints about the same time as my ovulation tracking appointments, perhaps because I was a bit distracted and low? I.e. not quite 100%??

But just like I need to figure my life out if this never happens (unlikely but possible) I also need to figure out my life without teaching!! No idea what to do though as I've almost always worked with kids!!!

@struggleisreal really sorry it was a no-go  take all the time you need 😘

@physicskate I remember Starkey!!! I think of her often. I have been here a LONG time 😬

@Jamon wishing you loads of luck today!!!

@Hopefulbunny I hope your GP is helpful.

Oh struggle I'm so so sorry - totally understand; are you at home today? Take care xxx

Really sorry to hear you're spotting @struggleisreal remind me what day at you post transfer?

I'm 10 days today.

Hopeful sorry to have missed your post and so sorry to hear about your miscarriage. Stay strong and look after yourself xxx

So sorry @struggleisreal I've been there and have total empathy for your situation. All I can suggest is be kind to yourself and try to keep hopeful. It's a journey and your doctors have learnt a huge amount.
@Jamon how are stims going? Is EC wed?

Egg collection was this morning! It went well thanks, the anaesthetic was lovely and I had a good snooze. I laid 24 eggs so feeling pretty proud and hoping that gives us a good chance of getting some fertilised. It's going to be freeze all though and I won't have a transfer until the New Year. Finding that tough but they said risk of OHSS too high as ovaries had gone a bit mental.

Spent the afternoon under a blanket watching Netflix (has anyone watched the film Hunt For The Wilderpeople? It's heartwarming). Had a decent amount of fuss from DH although he drew the line at going out to my favourite bakery for mince pies declaring it was "an hour round trip" 🙄

He has however gone out to get a Christmas tree so it's been lovely getting that up.

Hope everyone is doing well. Keep fingers crossed for embies tomorrow wahh!

Jamon 24 eggs is amazing, big well done to you and your ovaries!

Woweeeee 24 is amazing!!! Well done you chicken!
