Lucky thread

[cupcake1981]

Big hugs Mummy you will get there, we all will. Don't worry about the age gap between your dd and your rainbow, she will adore her little sibling whatever the age gap. Everything happens for a reason and when you get your rainbow you will realise what that reason was xx

 

[thurl30]

everyone

Can I join you? I definately need a lucky thread

 

[cathgibbs]

of course hun!! this is a very lucky thread, very chatty thread and a very PMA thread! xxx

 

[thurl30]

Thanks I have been ttc for 13 months, I had 2 early mc's and since my last mc in January I haven't been close to a bfp, I think I have an issue with ovulation and my cycles are all over the place. Sorry to read about your losses, but looks like you haven't got long until you are ttc again x

 

[cupcake1981]

Hi thurl30

Sorry for your losses, these ladies are the best.....I only joined a few days ago and they are so welcoming....Cath is right there is so much PMA on here it's contagious xx

 

[cathgibbs]

Have you been to a dr or anyone hun for any aids? are you using anything right now? im pretty rubbish when it comes to knowing what to take etc, we have only been trying since Oct/Nov, when we really tried by dtd during my fertile days we caught, just hoping i can continue a pregnancy past 6 weeks! Yep i try beginning of Sept or whenever i Ov after this cycle, its taking ages though and my OPKs are alost invincible ARGH!!!!!!! xxx

 

[thurl30]

Thanks Cupcake, sorry to hear about your loss too x

I haven't been to a dr for help yet, I have a week off work in September and I'm planning to book an appointment for then. The first thing I want to do is confirm whether I have pcos, I suspect that's one of my issues. I am getting so fed up now though I started taking soya this cycle, and I started temping too. I have tried opk's but I never get a positive so I have given up on that. So do you have regular cycles? are you in consultation with a doc about ttc? x

 

[Bumpblues82]

Well looks like my last pregnancy was my last we were going back to see the dr that did the biopsy but we can't afford the consultation fee do no one last try for us that's it I'm done I give up

 

[thurl30]

Bumpblues so sorry to hear about your losses, sending you lots of

 

[Tawn]

Mummy, I am so sorry to hear you are having a down day. To be honest, I think what I have realized over the last 4 months of ttc after the miscarriage is that AF will always be painful emotionally. I think that it is because, as "mothers" (whether we already have children or not) we love our children so much even before they are conceived. Each month that you try and make a baby, and then wait for weeks wondering if they are there, if they are safe, if they know that you love them already, etc etc. they are already a child in your heart--even if they don't exist physically.

To have AF come is a little bit of a loss of the baby your heart desires, so I think you should let yourself grieve and not feel guilty about it. And eventually the cycle moves on and you start dreaming and hoping again about the next baby you and DH will make.... Does that make sense? Just know that we are all here to support you and completely understand where you are coming from

MrsDuck, I am thinking of you today. I know they probably won't give you any answers, but I will keep my fingers crossed that they say something like "Well so-and-so messed up the first set of scans". hun

Cupcake, YAY for darker OPKs! Hope O comes soon for you!

Bump, I am sorry that you don't feel you can ttc anymore. All I can hope is that you finally being able to not be in the awful cycle that ttc and loss is will allow you to focus more on your DS ad DH and get back to the newlywed stage and happy version of you that you were talking about the other day. All of these awful losses just go to show you how much of a miracle you DS is

Thurl, welcome to the thread! I am so sorry for you losses. I really think you will love the ladies in here, they are the best support group I have found on bnb and I wouldn't be able to get through all the pain of ttcal with out them!

AFM, I have zero pregnancy or TWW symptoms today. My nipples are barely even sore anymore, spots are almost entirely cleared up, no nausea or cramps, nada Must have been dodgy fish after all! But I am almost grateful that the symptoms have tapered off because it will make me more prepared if it is a bfn on Sunday rather than having my hopes dashed really hard. And then if I am blessed with a BFP, it will be a happy surprise!

 

[thurl30]

Hi Tawn

Thanks for the welcome, it's so important to have a supportive network of people to talk to, and none of my friends and family no we are ttc. I notice you are from Suffolk, me too!

I am 5dpo today (well according to FF), so you're only 2 days ahead of me, looks like we will be testing roughly about the same time. I'm off sick with bronchitis at the moment though, so not entirely sure if ovulation has been predicted properly.

Sorry to hear your symptoms have disappeared, but I do agree with what you said about symptoms getting your hopes up, sending you lots of luck and

 

[Tawn]

Wow, I rarely meet anyone on bnb in my neck of the woods! Where in Suffolk do you live? We just moved from Ipswich and now live in Stowmarket.

And I am so glad to have someone on the thread in the TWW with me, currently it is only me by my lonesome so it will be nice to have someone to suffer through the next 7 days or so with!

 

[cathgibbs]

Have you got any signs of PCOS then thurl? If you do have that there are plenty of options they have for you to concieve naturally dont they? Im not clued up about PCOS sorry hun i have just noticed it under a few tickers on bnb, well i am awaiting a date to see my consultant as iv had a mc and an ectopic but my ectopic puzzled the ds cause after mtx my hcg continued to rise and when they done the LAP they noticed my tube was not that enlarged so my dr called me a medical mystery so wants to see me again lol, i did have to chase them up for an apt as they couldnt find my name on the list....typical NHS!!

Tawn You never know hun, like you said it could suprise you with a BFP on Sunday!! i have everything x for you my love, if this month isnt your month there is always next month, ill be joining you in the 2ww then love aslong as my stupid OPKS get dark, i wanted to bring them to work today but bloody slept late! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[thurl30]

that's mad, I live in Ipswich but I work in Needham Market

Yes I'm in the tww with you (well I think I am), my cycles are all over the place so I can never be 100% sure, but regardless I will be testing in about a weeks time

 

[Tawn]

Cath, don't stop chasing up your consultant! Gives you something to do this month, and then next month will be here before you know it! Can't wait to have you back ttc with us!

Thurl, crazy! It's funny cause on this thread we are literally spread over every corner of the UK, so it's fun to have someone close by! That must be frustrating to not know exactly when you o'd. Fx'd you get a big BFP next week! Do you have any TWW symptoms?

 

[thurl30]

Cath I'm not massively clued up on pcos, but I think I have a few symptoms so I want the doc to check it out. Sorry to hear what you've been through, make sure you get that appt, wishing you lots of luck for ttc again

 

[thurl30]

Tawn that's really funny, what are the chances of speaking to someone so close? I never get any symptoms, but I did have 3 days of light spotting last week which is really unusual for me, it must have been down to ovulation that's all I can put it down to. On Sunday I got a terrible sore throat, Monday it turned in to a full on cold, and then yesterday I thought it was going to my chest so saw the doc this morning and she said it's bronchitis, not the typical tww symptoms I'm guessing So you haven't got any symptoms at the moment?

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw Tawn what you said to Mummy was lovely, so true.

Don't panic if your not feeling symptoms yet it doesn't mean anything....don't think I felt anything til I was late, keeping fxd for you xx

 

[Mummy_2_One]

Thanks Tawn. That does make sense about loving babies that we're not even sure are there, so in that way I guess it's normal to grieve every time AF shows. Thanks for helping me feel normal, I really appreciate it xx

Welcome Thurl :wave: I was thought to have PCOS back before I conceived DD because I had mid-cycle pain all the time and irregular periods after coming off BC. I had an ultrasound and they found something like 35 cysts on one ovary and 28 on the other, but my blood-work want consistent with PCOS. In any case they told me I was very unlikely to conceive naturally (at age 22) and offered us specialist help after just 3 months of trying. We declined (I really felt that God was promising me a baby) and fell naturally 6 months later.

I used an ovulation method called the Billings Method to help pinpoint O and we fell the first month doing that. Google Billing Method of ovulation if you want more info. I've fallen twice more in now 5 cycles that I've actually been slightly more regular and ovulated, and I don't temp or do opks. It might work for you (and any of you lovely ladies for that matter) too.

I'm off to bed now. Have a great day girls x

 

[thurl30]

Hi mummy, that's an amazing story, so pleased to hear you managed to conceive naturally Sorry to see you have also experienced MC's

I will google the billing method, thanks for the tip
