TTC #3

[cecedoon]

So I got my bloods done this morning to check fertility & have to ring next week for the results. I’m nervous but at the same time I’m glad to have it done to either be told all is good or it’s not and next steps are xyz.

Hello, I didn't think I'd be back so soon but here I am.

TW for the below.

So last Friday I got my first positive followed by a digital positive on Saturday. We were elated, obviously. I had ridiculously sore boobs, nausea and mild cramping but nothing major.

Yesterday I just knew something wasn't right. Had a very very small amount of blood in CM,but the cramping intensified. This morning took a test and it came back negative and now I'm bleeding.

I'm absolutely devastated and can't stop crying. I know it was very early, but it's still heartbreaking. We've decided we're going to try again straight away, but not track ovulation or anything. Don't want to get my hopes up again. What will be will be I guess! (even though I hate that saying!!)

Hope everyone is doing okay x

So sorry to hear this fishsticks hope you’re doing ok and have lots of support around you xx

I’m going to buy a test tomorrow. Today I’m feeling pretty exhausted and nauseous don’t want to get my hopes up too much. I’ve been busy with work and after clubs. I’m still having bad period like cramps never had them before in my previous pregnancies so maybe my period is just late?

I got a high on my ovulation tests! Yay! CD 16 and in line with my apps so I’m pretty happy about that. I also felt some CM today so I’m glad they seem to be aligning so I know what I’m looking out for! I know it can change month to month but it’s given me some hope!

This probably isn’t interesting to most people, sorry

Thank you for all being so kind. Currently feeling very spaced out and empty. My husband is being amazing, we've both had many cries today.

My husband and I aren't going to talk to our family members about it just yet. They aren't aware we're ttc and I think it's probably best it stays that way for the time being. My mom keeps talking about how bad her days been and this, that and the other... I really want to just blurt it out, but she's not the most sympathetic of people.. Her day will still have been far worse.

Just playing a waiting game now to see when this stops.

Yay @Lola UK! Great news! Always nice to have some hope! X

So sorry. It doesn't matter how far along you were, you have still had a loss. I had a MC end of May, so in same boat/situation as you. Happy to talk if you want as I know how lonely it can feel. Take care x

Does anyone know if the One Step cheap pg tests are notorious for indent/evap lines? I feel like I'm just seeing things at this point.

Did you test?

Love to all the TTC fellas out there, who often get overlooked, on this Father’s Day 🤍🤍

I’ve seen so many announcements today

Today is always a struggle for me, but feel like it’s even worse this year. Sending love to anyone who needs it today

I’m so sorry darling girl. Take this evening for you, pamper yourself up, get some treats and take it easy. I’m sending you all the love in the world and all the hope that Father’s Day 2022 has more promise than this one

I did... big negative. It feels like everyone is announcing pregnancies around me right now. My cycle last month ended up being 48 days and I'm now on CD34. Really starting to wonder if it's ever going to happen for us. I feel like I'm letting everyone down, there's so much speculation in our families.

Sending love to anyone who needs it tonight.

Just wanted to say hello and hopefully join the conversation here.

I’m very new to all online TTC communities (will hopefully feel comfortable with the acronyms soon!) and wasn’t expecting to be in this situation as until I unexpectedly fell pregnant last year I wasn’t sure if I definitely wanted children. I’d got to 33 years old without any strong feelings either way. Sadly I lost that pregnancy at 7.5 weeks, since when I’ve been just... desperate. So many people told me their first pregnancy ended in an early loss that I somehow assumed I just needed to get pregnant again and this time it would work out. It took me 6 months and then I lost that pregnancy too, at only 6 weeks. I’m 5 weeks on from that now but fairly sure I haven’t ovulated yet as I get very obvious signs that are yet to happen. Waiting impatiently.

I don’t really know where I go from here, and I’m absolutely petrified at the thought of another loss (which almost seems inevitable if there is a next time), but I’m so hoping to conceive again. Also hoping for everybody here to get their positives too.

Bleh I found today hard. I feel extra on edge today. MIL was talking about how time goes fast as you age and the started saying how it’s more when you have children so me and my husband wouldn’t understand (SIL was there with her kids too) I know she couldn’t know we are trying but i never realised how thoughtless people’s comments are.

The other day she started saying how soon SILs kids will have outgrown the high chair they have at their house for them so they might as well sell it on, (they kept it between SILs pregancies though ‘just in case’) I don’t know why but the fact that she hadn’t even considered that we might have a baby really got to me.

hope you are all doing ok and have made it through today without too much sadness xxx

welcome! I’m sorry to hear about your previous losses, that must have been awful for you and your partner keeping everythjng crossed you get a happy healthy pregnancy soon. If you’re stuck on any acronyms, just ask! 🤍


I’ve seen NO pregnancy announcements today. I can’t believe it. I’m so glad. Sorry if that sounds selfish. I had a nice family day and no one tends to bring up babies so I haven’t felt triggered today.

Thankyou so much my lovely lady. It makes me cry when people are so kind to me here’s hoping 🤍
