Long termers 6 months or more

I hope your investigations go well Nikki.

I’m pretty sure I’m losing it I was cramping yesterday and it was quite painful and the spotting got heavier and turned red and this morning the cramps are so painful I can’t get out of bed. I’m heartbroken. I just sobbed into my husband all night.

Yeah if your boss is a man go with a woman's issue. They tend not to ask further!! It's just the short notice of it that makes it more suspicious that you sort of feel like you need to justify yourself.

Sadly I wish that was the case.....My boss is a very much gay man lol. And believes in sharing. He had kidney stones and felt the need to show us it after he passed it lmfao. Carried it around in his pocket for 2 days lol.

hilarious

Oh iris I'm so sorry. Maybe get to the doctors and see what they can confirm. If this is your second loss they may have some suggestions or at least get it in your record for future help if it comes to that

My heart breaks for you x

Quite shocked to receive my follow up appt date already for 3 months time as promised by the hospital on Wed. Very speedy service.

Seems lifetimes away 3rd October but no doubt will come round quickly and no doubt I'll still be here boring you all with my prattling!

A friend who's knows our situation said something to me about it being so sad when people who deserve a child the most are the ones struggling. Did get me thinking about how it's a funny old world....you can do everything right plan ahead etc etc and yet really none of know what fate or karma or whatever you want to call it has in store x

 

[Alexis2017]

Hey hope everyone is well. I am on cycle 20 cd2 and preparing my mind for ttc this cycle after 2 month break. I am also trying to prepare for IVF. We have told a few close friends etc I just hope it works ...I am feelibg low with all the af hormones floating about.

 

[Alexis2017]

Thank you both! I’m still a little nervous after my loss earlier in the year. I might have to get a clear blue digital so I can see it in writing!

Oh Iris, I'm so thrilled for you. That's a definite pink clear line there.

're the clear blue digi, hold off until Saturday or Sunday if you can. Do another frer to see that all important line again, but remember that clear blue digi's are nowhere near as sensitive and the last thing you need to deal with now is a false negative test as it will mean nothing but will really bring you down for no reason.

After three losses in succession, I was absolutely petrified so with this pregnancy, I think I did 60 odd tests before I got a private scan at 6+5 and saw the heartbeat. I've now had a baby for one whole week today and he's the most perfect little man I've ever laid eyes on. There is light at the end of that very dark, scary and intimidating tunnel so don't make things harder by testing before a particular test may give an accurate result. Xx

Aww congrats GG that is amazing news. I did have a happy tear in my eye when I read this news. I hope it will be me one day but I still can't ever imagine that happiness. What did you call him? Wow...just amazing ! I will prob be floating around here til I hit the menopause or I've lost the plot.

Kieran George Stretch. I have a cousin named Kieran who I remember holding as a newborn when I was just 8. There was no other choice for a name and Dan insisted. My cousin found his father, who had committed suicide, when he was just 11, lost his 16yr old sister when he was just 19 and he lost his mum 3.5 years ago. My family is big, very close and has been full of tragedy since I was 14, but nothing compares to what Kieran has been through and yet, through it all, he's remained the most wonderfully kind, caring, open hearted, loving person. Got himself through straight A GCSE's and A levels, uni and med school. We asked him if we could use his name and he was thrilled. He and his wife suffered a miscarriage whilst I was pregnant, so we've tried to be very sensitive around it all but no...they have embraced every second of this and are obsessed with little Kieran and just looking forward to trying again themselves when they settle as both just moved jobs. Some people on this earth are just extra special...they are those people.

I am now petrified we'll have the same trouble trying to conceive a sibling, so we're going to start trying as soon as my surgery scar/muscles have healed enough for sex as you're a lot more fertile just after having a baby.

I will always be stalking you guys and will be so happy when you all get your babies in your arms.

Iris, I am so sorry. Definitely go to your GP. You may, like I was, get sent for a scan to confirm. Not all bleeding in early pregnancy is bad, but if your lines are getting faint, that's exactly how I knew and I was right each time.
See your gp though, for me, it was after the third such loss that I was referred for recurrent miscarriage investigation. They can only do that if they know what is happening. I really hope you're just an unlucky early bleeder and babybis fine though.
Xxx

How is everyone?

I'm just coming to end of AF hopefully be back in action by tomorrow or Thurs at the latest. Looking forward to trying this month which feels like a nice change so hope can keep that feeling up.

Have read a little about HSG possibly improving chances of a BFP so whilst I'm not pinning hopes it has given me a little boost to think that maybe even if it makes a tiny difference it can't be a bad thing!

This summer is just beautiful but I am starting to wish for a little rain to soften the ground a bit and grow some grass. Horses field looks like something off David Attenborough Africa lol x

I don’t even feel like I belong on this site anymore... I keep popping back to stalk to see if anyone long term ttc has had any luck yet.


It’s around a year now since my first ever bfp. And only a couple of weeks till we lost it. Not sure where time goes.

We haven’t been ttc at all the last few months. Can’t even remember the last time I did an opk. Drawer is stuffed full of them. We barely dtd at all. I never feel like it anymore so it would be a miracle if I ever ended up pregnant. Lol.

Just checked my period app and cd27 today apparently, can’t believe another cycle has just flown by. Guess that’s what happens when you stop trying.


Hope someone here has some luck soon xx

 

[KatD]

Millie - I share your sentiment about feeling out of place here. I read all the excited little posts, pour over the stories and the thrills off TTC especially when it ends in a happy BFP and although I'm really thrilled for the blessed I still have this vacancy in my heart...an empty slot where a rainbow should be.

Alas, I can't help but to keep hold of hope ... Guess that's just who I am.

So...onto our first cycle post Varicele and I'm calm. It's like starting over in a way... just this time I know better than to symptom spot or test early lol I miss those naive days lol (referring only to myself and my past experience)

Sticky Vibes to you ladies

Millie! I was thinking about you today! I've just been lurking too! Got my appointment now to see a gynacologist at the fertility centre and for DH to get sperm analysis. He's August appointment and I'm September. I have been in counselling for my depression since the miscarriage and it's helped so much. It's like a weight has lifted. Next week will be a year since we lost our bean and I'm sad obviously but the pain has gone now.

Anyway I hope you're doing ok. I know it's a slog this ongoing battle but we are warriors! Hehe

Oh you girls the love, support and hope in this thread is amazing

Sending lots of baby your way

Definitely echo that I don't know where time goes. Months just seem to roll by in this game and quickly turn into years. I think we all just have to find some way of continuing life parallel with this heart breaking mission alongside. I know that the only thing that has pulled me through the difficult times. Last month I didn't want to think about TTC at all I just needed to switch off from it all until hospital appt came round. I am feeling more positive again this month not that we will get a BFP but at least that we will mask an effort and try.

Likewise it would be so lovely to see someone on this thread get their BFP I know it can happen as long termers when I started on here now have their babies like GG. #westillbelieve to use England motivation x

It's so nice when those months come when you feel calm Kat it makes all the difference and gives a respite from the stressing I have found. The calm times are always short lived for me but they are increasing in length the more accustomed I come to the fact that this is going to be a long process x

Hi
I was on here the beginning of the year as jemjem2015 but can't get logged back on

I have been ttc for 5 years now and been going to fertility but still hot the weight to loose before they will see us

Just finished my af today so going to do the deed tonight when hubby home from work my sister in law fell pregnant first month trying by dtd the day her af ended and doing it every second day for the month and she now has a lovely 2 year old son

Since I was last on here a lot has changed my partners gran passed away a few months ago after only finding out she had a brain tumour in January she passed away in March but the week before she passed away she told me that we will have a baby girl on the way before the years end and we have to call her Frankie after her her name is Frances

Hope to see bfps soon from you all xxx

 

[Jemjem2905]

I've got my graduation from college in November so I said to my dh I would love to be 2/3 months gone by my graduation and he said he was thinking the exact same thing and he called me at his work to tell me that was so spooky so hopefully this month then waiting for a delivery to come with syringes and sample pots as hubby has problems when dtd and I have opks coming too really going for it this month

 

[Sometimesoon]

Wife should have been due on the 4th or 5th but has had stomach problems the past few day so it hasn’t arrived yet.
Has done a test but no positive.
Guessing the stomach problems has knocked the usual 32 day cycle out of sync.

Just an update to this but we got our ‘BFP’ a few days ago!
Wife is over the moon.
For people interested I took Welman conception fertility and reproduction tablets, iron tablets and vitamin C+D tablets. Wife took iron and folic acid tablets. In the past month we used pre seed lubricant too

Good luck to everyone in here. I know how hard it is month on month. Haven’t seen much of you SugaryIris who replied to me but I hope you are well.
