Sorry some of you lovely ladies have been finding things very tough, I've found ttc difficult enough without experiencing a loss as well, so I can't begin to imagine what your going through. I hope each of you can find some healing in whatever way works best of you xx
Athens sorry AF arrived, it can be so disappointing when you've got your hopes up x
Sexymouse good luck with the scan today, hope all goes well.
So just after posting yday I had very strong ov pains & ewcm, so looks like I prob am oving, albeit a bit late. My cycles tend to be 26-27, so fx for a longer cycle this time around to give a decent LP. 1st acupuncure session tomorrow evening ...0 -
I was due yesterday but still no AF and lots of cramps (I get that before AF and had that before my BFP last time). I'm guessing I'm just irregular after birth but it's messing with my head. BFN yesterday. I got my BFP after 4 days late last time but didn't check sooner, but it showed at 10pm. My head says it's not the right time so technically I'm hoping AF arrives but it'd be secretly delighted with a BFP. When I got a neg test yesterday I guessed AF would be on its way. I've been getting hot and flustered, tired, hungry...All of which were signs last time but I'm guessing I'm just over thinking it!0

I was tracking on my days before my pregnancy but now when I track it's predicting my OV and AF months apart because of the 10month gap (preg and breastfeeding) which is frustrating. Hope it starts tracking better soon.0

Hello Everyone, want to echo what angel has said, TTC is so heart wrenching and gutting as it is, I can't imagine experiencing the heartache I see some of you are going through.
I think this board should be used as a place we can all come and vent, I think each of us have different experiences and everybody has horrible emotional days that nobody else understands.I have only really just started TTC, on cycle 5 currently so I completely appreciate I am early on however I am finding myself more and more sensitive to pg announcements, which I really don't want to be.
I am now 2DPO, I hope the early scan went well today Mouse xx0 -
Selina, glad you think the counselling is a good idea. My mam had bereavement counselling after the loss of her father and that helped her massively.
Cats, no-one can blame you for not wanting to be around certain people. I agree about keeping your situation private, I planned to tell my sister and her kids about my pregnancy the day after the scan and had it all planned out. Then the MC happened and I've not told her which has upset my mam and she has tried to talk me into telling her. I have refused as what can she say or do? It will just make her sad and act different around me, we are not close in a confidante kind of way. We just spend time together with the kids and never talk about serious matters.
Sexymouse, hope all is okay at the scan
AthensGeorgia, sorry to hear AF has arrived. I think I will struggle with that when it happens too. I have to keep reminding myself of how life is going to be tough at certain times and prepare as much as I can.
Sweetilemon, hoping that you get what you want out of this cycle. Can't imagine how you must be feeling.
I'm off for a tattoo today. Getting a butterfly which will remind me of the one that got away :A0 -
Thank you ladies - so sorry AF showed Athens. Is it definitely AF as it could be implantation bleeding if it's earlier than expected (mine lasted 2 days on and off and I'd never had it before).
My scan went well and I'm measuring 7+2. Sending lots of baby dust your way!
Will update the list when I'm home. XxEnjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/20170 -

Hi Ladies.
I'm just catching up on all the goings on as I think I'll start dipping my toe back in again after my chemical pregnancy in April. I am not tracking properly, just keeping an eye on how things feel.
Mouse - I was so happy to see your news, and even more happy that your scan went well this morning. That must be a small relief for you
So sorry to those who have had losses - no matter what stage, it is horrible and my thoughts are with you all. But, I'm happy to see you here as it means you are fighting on!
Mouse - would you mind updating me to CD8 today please? Thanks
xx0 -
Glad your scan went well mouse. Have they dated you what you thought?
I'm fairly certain it's AF. OV'd 13th, bleeding started 27th. It's fairly light for me though. I can't decide if my differences in cycles are because of the mc or pcos. But I feel positive about my regularity which I've not had before.0 -
Yes the date was about what I expected and matched up to when my last period was.
I'm glad that your periods are more regular though - it does make it easier to work out when to test etc when they start to regulate. Fingers crossed for you that if it isn't implantation, that this is the cycle for you. We conceived the cycle after Poppy's due date, so maybe this will the the same for you (Freddiefrugal also did). I looked at it that Poppy had her own month for us to remember her in, and the new month was our fresh start. I hope it's the same for you athensgeorgia. xx
