Congratulations bapbap. It always nice when graduates lurk for a little while . I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

Tryingin2018, your time will come to be able to give hims positive news and see his face all excited for it, and it will feel even better then having seen him disappointed before!

Seems yesterday was just spotting. Still extremely light today still so not 100% sure if CD1 or spotting still. Will see how the rest of the day/tomorrow goes but classed as CD1 for now. It's looking like my fertile time will be just before we go on our 1st wedding anniversary trip later the months at the moment.

Sorry i'm being a bit quiet lately, i'm finding myself struggling with AF arriving.
I had in my head that the miscarriage was just a blip and we'd fall pregnant again straight away. So with AF arriving it has really knocked me and i think it has really shown what has actually happened.
I'm just a little emotional at the moment.

We won't stop TTC, and there really isn't any stress on us to get pregnant, like i don't feel like we are BD to make a child, we do BD because we enjoy it and it's fun.

We go on holiday at the end of this month and it will do us the world of good.
Sorry for going on and on about the miscarriage but i just think im not coping as well as i though i would.

Please dont be sorry about talking about your miscarriage.
Not enough people talk.
Its heartbreaking and you have every right to grieve and feel how you are feeling.
If you want to talk to someone who has been through one please feel free to message me.
Look after yourself and your OH.

HappyLassie - I am here if you need to talk too. I know how hard it can be. I think I am going to find it hard this month too, last time we were that annoying couple that 'only did it once' without protection and I guarantee this time around when we actually are actively trying it won't happen! Your holiday will definitely do you a world of good.

AF is 3-4 days away for me and I am starting to bloat which is a sign the witch is on her way but we shall see how the next few days go.

Things at work are still up in the air but think I will take the advice of PrettyKittyKat and keep looking for other jobs, better to have a backup plan after all .

HappyLassie, please do not apologise. I know everyone on this board is going through their own journey, but we have a lot in common, and I echo what the other lovely ladies have said. You can talk about it as much as you like, please do not keep it bottled up. I think the holiday will do your body and mind the world of good, make sure you get lots of r&r.

Sending big hugs xx

You have no need to say sorry and you are not going on and on you have something happen to you that you need to talk about and we are more than happy to listen



I think the holiday will be just what you both need where are you going btw?

HappyLassie13

Thank you all so much for your kind words.

I have in my head that its something that is my problem so i need to deal with it alone. OH has been fantastic and i have felt as though i don't want to burden him with my issues. But again hes reassured me that he's with me every step of the way.

We are off to Benidorm (I sound like the postcode lottery)

We'll make sure to enjoy this holiday. relax and have fun.

I know that feeling I spent several years battling depression and it makes you very reluctant to speak to people but lik you my OH was there for me every step of the way. Once that feeling is there though it can be very difficult to shift



I've never been but Im sure you will have an amazing time and relaxing and having fun just the pair of you will do you both the world of good xx

So, currently 14/15 DPO which would make me 2/3 days late. Still BFN's on first response tests.

Thinking ahead - for those ladies who have had ridiculously long cycles where their AF's haven't showed on time - is it worth going to the GP? Are they just going to be dismissive and tell me to wait it out?
