Looking for TTC buddies after MC

[imready4it]

Thanks everyone for the congratulations!! I’ve got my first appointment next Tuesday. Praying my lil Bean is ok.

I hope all you ladies can get your cycles back to normal soon so we can all shift over into the first trimester group together.

Can anyone make sense of this? I thought i was in tww and I o'd on the 8th but looks like it might be now.. the new pink opk I compared to a green one yesterday and got the same dark line so can't be faulty tests https://babyandbump.momtastic.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1026945&stc=1&d=1519160316

Omg I am such an idiot. When I started the pink tests because the pink like came out so dark on the bottom I thought that was the control line. It's the test line!!!! Is that a strong o for 2 days?? I missed it thinking i was in tww. Yikes! Well we did bd on 19 yesterday and today to fingers crossed xxx gutted to say the least

Oh lol!! Fingers crossed you caught the egg!

I am fairly certain i did o this week. Although I didn't get strong lines on my opks (which i never really did with this brand anyway) I had a temp dip yesterday and back up today. All my other symptoms seemed like it. So hopefully AF shows in 2 weeks, weird actually wanting it to come, and then we'll be actually back to TTC.

 

[BabyBrain80]

Poppie I'm the same, desperate for af to come but I know it's going to be upsetting and a relief at the same time.

Peanut, I hope you caught that egg!! Out of all the OPK's those 2 pink ones are defo the positives, 17th/18th was it? Wishing you lots of luck that you just caught it! X

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

I'm trying to catch the egg before the first af but I have told myself I won't be upset if af comes. At least then I will know my body has reset. Poppie and brain are you girls trying or just waiting for the first AF?

 

[Poppiebug]

Yes waiting for first AF so i can track a bit better.

I took a frer this morning to see if there was a line. The tiniest of tiny squinters there i think, only cuz i was looking so hard, probably a bit of line eye too. I also went for the blood test so hoping they will tell me the number over the phone on Monday perhaps. Not that it makes much difference really.

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

Hope it all goes well poppie x

My friend I mentioned that was pregnant.. she had a miscarriage at 12 weeks... I'm so shocked and horrified. It's so sad and I don't know how to support her. She's carrying on like it all ok but I know deep down it must be hurting her so badly.. I can't imagine passing a fully formed baby. That would just be too traumatizing, I cried so much when she told me.. just feel like crying for her even writing this.. so cruel

 

[BabyBrain80]

Awww Peanut I get how you are feeling, you have a very fresh understanding of what she will be going through and maybe its brought back your pain too. Everyone copes differently, all you can do is let her know you are there x

I have no choice really to wait till af appears. The super faint bfps must mean things arent right so i want that bfn and af. Nearly there I think. Got sore boobs and had some cramps so im hoping its coming.

I know that full cycle isnt always needed but I dont want to take any chances, Id be more worried. I had 1 cycle after my first mc and conceived ds2 after that. I had 2 cycles after mc last July. Im a bit of a worrier though lol.

Poppie, I hope those numbers are really low and falling quickly so you can get on with thing's. Let us know x

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

On a lighter note where is everyone from and what do you guys do for work?

I'm from London and work in IT. I have the best supervisor and team, my supervisor is literally my bff which helps me soooo much!

 

[imready4it]

Peanut, I hate that about your friend. Saying a prayer for her now.

I live near Atlanta, GA (USA) and am the personal assistant for the owner/CEO of multiple corporations and businesses. My job is very stressful so I plan on quitting....hopefully when the baby comes. I want to stay home and with my kids and slow our lives down.

I am sorry for what your friend is going through. I think you should just make sure you are there for your friend. If you want talk about your loss it may help both of you.

I'm from Hampshire, UK. And I am a Biology teacher. I'm also a Head of Science and I also work for an exam board as an examiner and advisor. So at times life can be pretty hectic! But luckily DH is really supportive and he's a stay at home dad. He works freelance doing IT work, mainly in the school holidays. So its kind of like we tag team between work and looking after our nearly 3 year old.

 

[Poppiebug]

So sorry to read about your friend Peanut. As awful as it is, the further along you get you just don't think that it could happen. I also can't imagine going further along only to discover at a routine scan that baby had gone at 12 weeks, 20 weeks or whatever. This loss has been so painful, I cannot imagine being further along. I have a few friends that have lost babies later on due to genetic issues, that heartache would be immense.

I am in Australia and I have my own business providing daycare from my home. So I get to be home with my children as well as lots of other gorgeous little ones. We do all the things that a childcare centre does (especially when it comes to paperwork and regulation) but it's in my home. I am a qualified school teacher, and given the choice I'd much rather do this any day!

 

[BabyBrain80]

Wow your jobs all sound so exciting and busy!

Im from Scotland, currently I do admin 3 mornings a week in my sons nursery in our village. Its great as its term time and can also be very flexible.
In the past I was a qualified Veterinary Nurse, then worked for a veterinary wholesaler then was a stay at home mum for a while.
I have 2 boys....ds1 is nearly 7yrs, ds2 is nearly 4yrs.

So I am currently cd34 and I never go longer than cd 33 unless pg. A few days ago I started a bit of pale brown spotting. Then cd32 a blob of watery red blood. Thought AF was on her way. Had cramping in my tummy like AF. But since that blob of red blood nothing. My bbs are sore and suffering with smal bouts of insomnia which is a common early pg symptom forme. But equally I do get this from time to time when not pg. Im scared to test in case of bfn. I think im going to wait a few more days and if AF doesn't show then I will test. Just never had this before with any past pregnancies or cycles.

 

[Poppiebug]

That sounds positive to me Flou! Fingers crossed xx

 

[PeanutWhereRU]

All your jobs sounds fantastic!! So many different backgrounds xx

Flou fingers crossed for you. Please let us know how your get on x

 

[BabyBrain80]

Fingers crossed Flou

Afm still waiting and hoping for af not sure if it will happen with the teeny faint bfp but I've read all sorts so just need to wait and see for myself. Got a crampy tummy and sore boobs still.

imready how are you feeling?

Hope everyone else is ok and having a nice weekend. We are going to see the giant lanterns of china tonight at Edinburgh zoo, looks really good but its getting very cold again here so need to get loads of layers on!
