    Aww Rachy that's rubbish! I recommend the Seven Seas Cranberry capsules, they are about £6ish but I defo think they made a difference for me. Suffered from a few years back xxx

    I still feel the loss of our first - even if it was "only" at 12 weeks - that doesn't make a difference. You're feeling the loss of the child that you were expecting and hoping for.

    I no longer feel the pain I had at the start.

    But even with a baby on the way again, I still think about the one we lost. Wondering what they would have been like. Working out how old they would be now.

    It's an awful thing to go through whatever stage in pregnancy it happens and it affects people in completely different ways.

    We also hoped to get pregnant as soon as possible, it took 6 months. It's difficult but you just have to try and stay positive. Try and remember that it's a case of 'when' not 'if'.

    Just echoing what others have said and sending out love and support to those who need it - I don't think the pain of a loss ever truly goes away, but it does fade a little with time and I have faith that things are going to get better for you Rachy.

    So grateful for this thread! Xx

    Hope everyone is well today xx

    I've really been trying not to SS but I've been having cramps since last night, can't work out if they feel like AF or not. They seem to be one sided but think I'm probably out this month :(. I'm 10DPO and struggling not to POAS! I can't face the disappointment!

    I am going to try my hardest and not test until Saturday if AF hasn't arrived by Thursday/Friday.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather xx

    Thanks Newthrift!n I'm determined not to POAS! Lol

    We were out for dinner for MIL birthday tonight. All was going well until conversation turned to our 2 year old nephew! "Oh but he really needs a cousin to play with! Or a brother or sister" then his dad pipes in "oh I think they're done, I don't think they'll have anymore kids or they would have done by now!" Our nephew is only just 2!!!! :mad:

    I said quite bluntly "well maybe they aren't able to! You don't know what happens behind closed doors!"

    The conversation moved swiftly on...:rotfl:

    Fingers crossed for ov for you tomorrow xx
