  • Thanks j-saver

    I've gone mad tonight searching blooming evap lines. Gonna have to drive somewhere to get some more FR tomorrow as I only have cheapies. I won't sleep tonight
  • Can I please be updated to CD1 please? AF arrived as expected. Onwards and upwards, going to enjoy a couple of glasses of wine tonight and try and chill out a bit.

    Not been around for a few days as we have had lots going on.

    Rachy after my mc the mc bleeding stopped 4th January and then AF arrived 9th February much lighter and only 4 days (I'm usually a 7 dayer). But AF then arrived again 25th February and then again 21st March (I'm usually a 30/31 day cycle). It's seems to have only got back on track since April but mancmama mc at the same time and she was different again and pg end of April. It just shows everyone is affected differently. Another cruel effect of mc.

    HTH
  • Thanks AthensGeorgia. I am desperately hoping I am pregnant again soon. It's keeping me going and I worry I will crumble if it doesn't happen - silly of me I know but I need hope in my life right now.

    Well the line I saw on FR was clearly an evap line (learnt a lesson there). AF has arrived. As you can imagine there is a mix of emotions here. One of course is a bit of relief that my body is working as it should be.

    I have a friend visiting today and staying over so lots of nice food, wine and a good girlie catch up is sure to make me feel better
  • AF has arrived. As you can imagine there is a mix of emotions here.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the emotions don't stop when AF arrives. I know usually when TTC and AF is here you just want it over so you can crack on with the cycle but it felt worse to me because of all the what weres and what could have beens. Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones who falls pregnant very soon after. I was like you and was desperately hoping to be pg again and spent far too much time 'googling' and from that 'research' it came back a lot that it's very common to fall pg first cycle. I think possibly cause of the hormones. I truly hope you are one of them.

    I couldn't fully appreciate the effects of mc until I was effected myself, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

    I'm still waiting impatiently for OV. I keep feeling it's on its way but it's definitely later this cycle.

    Yeah I think I am reading too much online and praying that the 'more fertile' info is true and it works for me. I certainly am a rollercoaster of emotions but what I am thinking positively about is that my first BFP didn't take long considering I had to get the OCP out of my system and we weren't too sure of the science behind TTC for a bit. Obviously now my body has been through a trauma and it could go either way but I have no choice but to think positive - I'll just sink into depression otherwise :(

    In other news, I told my friend everything and was a bit mad that she commented that I seemed 'okay' given that it wasn't long ago and I could talk about it. I thought it was insensitive and rude and wish I hadn't told her. Just because I can talk about it at times without crying, it doesn't mean I am not still heartbroken. To be honest, the tears come when I am thinking about what would have been and the future. I probably would've cried all weekend with AF arrival but I was determined to enjoy my time with her as I've not seen her in a year (lives abroad).

    I feel like I can't win, if I mope about and am sad then people try to cheer me up and can feel awkward but if I try and be cheerful I'm being told that they can't believe I'm handling it so well :mad:

    Rant over. Hope everyone is okay, nice sunny weekend here so trying to enjoy that :cool:

    Oh Rachy, it sounds to me like you're pinning so much hope on this. Is there any way you can focus in a different direction at all? Did you manage to enjoy the good weather at the weekend?

    Feeling a bit sad here, as 99% sure AF is on her way today, and I was just starting to feel a bit hopeful :( Didn't help visiting a friend due her second imminently at the weekend, and they had no problems conceiving either of theirs. There seem to be babies everywhere at work, and I'd rather not hear about any of them, and finding it a bit difficult to be happy for the parents.

    Hello Everyone, been away for a week so just caught up on the thread. Sorry to hear about those who got AF, I too got my hopes up massively and it hurt when she arrived last Saturday.


    I really enjoy reading on here and I do also look on other forums but I found last month I was obsessively reading daily and it wasn't healthy. This month I am really trying to be more relaxed and not track and just try to BD every other day. I also had a bit of a light bulb moment, one of my friends had a scare with her new-born baby and it kind of hit home that once you have a baby the worry will never go away, so why worry now when I can't actually control what happens anyway.


    For that reason I'm happy to be taken off the lists as I am not going to be using it to track and I don't want to waste anybody's time adding me on each day.


    If its OK I would still like to come on here and comment I just want to take a bit of a step back and start enjoying life outside of TTC.


    xx
