Glad faith is doing better baking I know it's a completely different diagnosis but my dd after her brain bleed didn't reach any milestones on time! she didn't take her first steps until she was nearly 23 months. She is now just like any other 6 yo
Good news your diabetes is under control longest

I have less than 4 weeks to go, it will be ELCS but consultant not giving me the actual date until 21 April I am still not organised! I have a pram and some clothes my sister gave me but no cot,no car seat etc. I am going to have to bite the bullet this weekend but it still feels like it's too soon and something bad might still happen

I'm sorry if I have missed you but it's difficult to keep up on mobile

longest I've had no results at all- not even got an appointment to the rmc through yet (as moaned about previously!). Should hopefully be in the next two weeks. In my heart I know I should wait but I'm desperate to start ttc again. I'm worried if I don't get in the three month window (I've always conceived three months after each MC) I'll miss a chance and be months!

Good news on the diabetes too longest

barking enjoy Wales. Hope it's not as hard with the baby as you're thinking. Just drink!

purple four weeks, that's great!

Ttc i think also here - am cd8 today and don't usually ovulate til 18-21 so a while to wait. We havnt dtd since mc mid feb. Felt v depressed for 4 week, and having a 21 month in bed ebery night doent help! Had accupuncture this morn and have it booked for the next 2 fridays, but ttc and keep the pregnancy in the most stressful half term of the year won't be ideal. But then norhing about my situation is. Plus i've just about made my peace with leaving teaching.

Sorry all the typos!

freckle I'm cd8 today too. I usually ov around day 11/12 so really got to decide whether to go for it or not this time. Ttc is definitely more tricky in term time. I blamed parents eve for this MC as I had the bleed the next day (probably no link!) And I definitely blame it for short cycles as my cycle dipped to 12 days twice straight after two run ins with nasty parents. I don't blame you for getting out. I would if I could but no chance of that. Not unless Dh pulls his finger out and gets back to full time!

Waving hi to Tanny hope all is going well and Bertie is settling in ok :)

Purple I can't believe how soon that is!!! You really do need to get shopping this weekend my dear. Make sure you let us know the date as soon as you've seen the consultant!

Great news about the scan enlightended. How many weeks are you now?

I'm pleased the appointment went well and you're feeling more positive cloud. It's hard for us to believe but the odds are usually stacked in our favour and with enough tries most will get there.

Sorry if I've missed anyone! XxX

I went on to Australia on honeymoon and went to the Great Barrier Reef on a boat to go snorkeling. The sea wasn't too deep, I can swim, I've snorkeled before, but the water was a bit rough and I was too scared to get off the boat because I couldn't see the sea bed. About 50 other people got off, DH was long-gone because he didn't realise I'd turned back. Kids and OAPs were happily swimming about, while I stood there on my own saying "I CAN swim... but I can't see the bottom...I don't want to get in the water if I can't see the bottom."
And that pretty much sums up how I feel about TTC. Maybe time for a .
(I did get in after about half an hour, during which time DH worried I'd been eaten by a shark.)
Would LOVE to hear some BFP news from other ladies this month! Easter and all that - new beginnings.

Ah just lost my post will post in parts

Just dropping in from hols! Few too many cocktails!

barking hope weekend goes ok

baking please keep us informed on faiths progress
tanny hope things are going well with little one
Just to echo previous posts about how strong everyone is on here I don't know how I'd feel without you all. I'm sorry I don't post as much as I should as I find it so hard to keep u but I thank you all.
I ovd yesterday I think really hoping I get holiday bfp but its obviously unlikely but I'd really like to become a mum soon! Xx

catlovet I hope you don't mind be asking but was this pregnancy natural or as a result of treatment?

Flen glad you found your kitten safe and sound

Baking please continue to update is on Faith. I'm so pleased she is continuing to improve and she is still in my thoughts

Cloud really pleased you had a positive app and are feeling happier and more positive after reading your recent posts about feeling so low

Bunny Yey!! Really happy your scan went well!

Maverick and diddly (congratulations on bfps) here's hoping this one will be it for you both.

Brummie love that sign!

Pop Can't imagine what you're going through. I hope I'm time you are able to do something special with her ashes and it brings you some peace. Big hug and thinking of you xxx

Purple 4 weeks! You're nearly there lovely!

Counting forgot to say previously, chickens sound great! And fresh eggs are delicious!

Barking hope you're ok

Just hope you and baby just are ok

I've been meaning to say, I know some of you aren't too far from me (Barnsley/sheffield area) and if anyone wanted to meet for a chat, or a cry, rant etc then please let me know. More than happy to help anyone offload.

Good luck those ttc/in the 2ww this month!! And those moving house too.

Sorry to those I've missed, bit hard reading back on the phone.

Xxx

Its a bit stronger this morning. Dh has confirmed my squinty eyes are right has approved it as a bfp. Shitting myself but feeling calm as well. I don't see how a 3rd mc can be as bad as the last. I realise it can though. I hope that doesn't sound bad, but mc2 hit me so hard.

Unk cells were well in the normal range and I've my phone consultation on Tuesday.

Eek...

floweroct your holiday with cocktails sounds fabulous and much deserved

Great news diddly fingers crossed x

Congratulations mrsd. Everything crossed. I agree there's something terrible about the first mc where you realise something is definitely wrong. For me that was mc3 as mc1 wasca chemical pregnancy I managed to ignore until mc3 happened and gave it retrospective significance. After that I tried to get myself into the mindset of it might take more attempts and more pain but I would get there in the end. In fact that mindset wasn't tested as this one has stuck. I really hope for the same for you and maverick and bunny too. There's been more than enough sadness on this thread of late.

Big whoop Diddly x

mrsdiddly that's great, hooray!

Waving to everyone else

Cheesymash** that is a lovely lovely idea. I often think about meeting you lot, i'm pretty sure words would fail me, i'd just want to give to all a massive hug - and i'd probably cry! You ladies have been my saviours the last couple of months, you really have .

Minnie** I havn't had many results back because my first 12 blood tests were done through bradford and they don't transfer to Leeds, so proff walker asked for then to be all done again. (Although he did say he would send for them.) His advice was due to age get ttc asap, and they would act on whatever information came up, if anything did. I wonder, given we are the same age and both have dc, if he will advise the same to you? I am also breadwinner, but dh has degree and masters and i've bourn the lions share of the responsibility for ten years. It's time for him to take his finger out and earn more, so that i can step down. Bollocks to it! I feel like i am breadwinner, main caregiver, homekeeper - It's fucking ace being married to me, the goose that lays the bloody golden egg! But i'm knackard now, i need me a wife! And I'm really excited at the thought of doing something new. I saw a job i really fancied recently and got so caught up thinking about it on tge way to work that i drove straight past school! I havn't always been a teacher - I worked in travel for 5 years before my ten in teaching and i originally trained in journalism, but to be honest, i'm open to anything. I never saw myself doing teaching for the rest of my life. I am just so sick of so many things (working all breaks, lunches, staying back late to teach extra lessons, book scrut's, the pressure, the amount of marking English teaching generates, shitty pushy parents, even not being able to go to the loo or have a drink when you need to!) I'm bored and done. Fuck it! Do something else. Life is too short to be this unhappy.

Yay, diddly! Congratulations

Driving down south so can't reply properly but just wanted to say congrats to mrsd so pleased for you. And glad your nk tested normal. Wishing you a boring 8 months ahead

Congratulations diddly

Congrats Diddly

I decided to POAS for the first time since my MC and I have a squinter on a Tesco test. Surgery was 6 weeks ago. I'm going to test again in a couple of days with FMU but I'm hoping I haven't got retained products.

sebs is it possible you could be pg? Am I right in thinking you're about right in your cycle to be showing a faint +be if you have ttc this month?
Really hoping it's not leftover hcg for you x

Cheesy it has crossed my mind but I don't think so.
