Time to begin TTC 2018!

Ayesha - I only just noticed your signature I'm so sorry you had to go through that and lose your precious baby at such a stage when you feel "safe" in pregnancy. That is what gets me most... we are never really safe... just appreciate each minute. Have you had any BFP's since?

@chanti it's understandable to feel that way. I cannot imagine how it must feel yo go through that and not feel down and disheartened after a M/C and ttc again it really messes with your emotions. Hope you feel better soon hun

@Reese good luck hun. I really hope it happens for you naturally without any of the stress, ttc has a tendency of taking over our entire life and we can become obsessed....its like my be all end all right now.

I'm having a day where I eat anything I see not good lol

Hi Ladies,

Hope you all had a lovely weekend! Good luck to everyone in the 2WW. It really sucks!

AFM I stopped Duphaston a week ago. I was taking 10mg twice a day. Apparently my period should have come by now? Has anyone else taken Duphaston and had a delayed period?

Thanks all!

Good morning Ladies. AF arrived as expected.
So over this long weekend, I had a lot of thinking and praying to do. I have decided to take a break from ttc for the rest of the year for various reasons...
1. being extremely unhappy at work (after more than 6 years, I think it's time for a change. It's been a rollercoaster ride and there is nothing more for me here)
2. I have been so obsessive and pre-occupied with ttc, that I have lost sight of the important things in my life...my husband, my two beautiful girls and my health!
I think my girls have been neglected the most and I can see the sadness in their eyes every month when mommy is sad and irritable because AF showed again! I hate being this horrible person living cycle after cycle and being upset when AF shows! It has been affecting my mental health and physical health! I have gained so much unhealthy weight so it's time to focus again on getting healthy!
Hubby and I spoke and we both agreed that it might be for the best for now.
I still have faith that I will be blessed with my little boy. I'm not giving up!

So from me, I am praying that you are all blessed with a little one soon! It has been such a pleasure to read each journey and to be part of such an amazing and supportive forum. I will definitely be back soon (perhaps next year!)

Hey ladies!

So my participation has been lacking hugely... Even just coming here and getting my hopes up to TTC is a bit much to handle.

@ayesha - Happy belated birthday hun It helps to help others through it but then it also brings up raw memories of your own... so so hard...

@Bridge - AF is due on Thursday so right there with you honey.

@Nicola - I know the feeling all too well. You eventually feel so desperate and just can't understand why it isn't happening for you. You are happy for your friends but even more heartbroken for yourself.

@Jay - Are you officially TTC now??

@Reese - Did AF pitch?

AFM, I am nearing AF which is due on Thursday... It is an extremely stressful time for me as I only tried to conceive for 2 months since our failed FET in Feb and both those months we had a BFP which both obviously sadly ended in M/C. So the second m/c was last month... we carried on trying this cycle... I haven't had sore boobs this cycle which was my "tell" with both my other BFP's... I'm just so anxious, not sure what to expect and it just brings up the raw emotions of my 14 week m/c and how far along I would have been now. this just SUCKS... Sorry to be the debbie downer of the page.... this stage of the cycle is just hard with the added joy of hormones! I'm also struggling as I stopped working out with last month's m/c in fear of causing another m/c with a high heart rate or something so I am feeling particularly useless right now!

Ahh @NicolaF I am so sorry. It is so tough to be brave in those situations. I am on day 24 so AF is due on sat.. if she doesn't arrive I may test Sunday morning. Wanted to wait a week but doubt I will be patient enough..after my last miscarriage the thought of surviving the first 12 weeks is scary that I don't want to get my hopes up too much but don't want to miss out either. @Ayesha that cannot be easy but I think you are amazing to stay strong through this and offer so much support.

Hi ladies thanks for the birthday wishes. I got spoilt by hubby and my little sister it was awesome.

@bridgeymich I know what you mean, I go through that every month, Google is my enemy. Fx for you.

@nicolaf I know what you mean, it's like every one around you is falling pregnant and you trying so hard but feels like you just failing where as others who are hardly trying get it right.

AFM officially in the TWW and avoiding Google or trying to symptom spot. Fx crossed I did every thing right.

I have officially become some kind of grief councillor amongst DH fam. If they know anyone whose had a still born or miscarriage they hand out my number so that I can help them out since I have moved on and dealt so well, literally broke down yesterday every one sees me smile and assumes I'm over losing my son but you never get over it. The only silver lining is I'm helping some one else realise it's ok to hurt and love that child no matter what happens in life
