Thanks again all ♥

This morning I’ve started bleeding. I am so very sad but I was prepared that this would happen.

I had a breakdown yesterday on a meeting as I was already muted and sobbing, then a close colleague announced her pregnancy and started talking about baby clothes she was buying. I had to dial off. I’ve taken today off work and will probably take tomorrow too.

The worst bit was waking up this morning and having that brief moment where I felt okay, and then remembering what was happening. It’s like having the realisation all over again. Also just having to get rid of the pregnancy apps on my phone, the pictures we took of us happy with the positive test - seeing how happy we were is just so sad.

I feel like I have taken that happiness from my husband. He cried with happiness when the test was positive and now he’s never going to have that moment again because he knows it won’t always end how you hope. I can’t help but feel guilt for that. I know that it’s not my fault, but it’s so hard.

I’m so so sorry. Sending you so much love, and a big hug. Feel everything you feel, it’s all valid. Anger, disappointment, upset. We’re all here for you.

oh @JLXRD I am so so sorry ❤ Sending you so much love. Remember to try and be kind to yourself and give yourself time to heal and breathe.

Thinking of you - we're always here on the other side of the internet if and when you want us xx

I still have the photos of our positive pregnancy tests. Some days I like to look back and remember that it did actually happen and it gives me some hope that we can conceive again. I hope it might bring you some hope too eventually.

Cry as much as you want. Cry until you can't anymore. You're human and your feelings are so valid as are your husbands.

I hope you're not in too much pain. Thinking of you x

so sorry to hear this, sending love and hugs. Take all the time you need 🤍🤍🤍
 
So sorry and I just need to vent.

a good friend of mine had a baby a few days ago, we were discussing names & she just says oh il keep that name if my next baby is a boy. (She got pregnant twice first time she tried each time)

I am so happy for her but I want to scream at her at the same time. 👊🏻🥵 And then I hate myself for being so Mean.

Hi ladies, how reliable would you say supermarket tests are? Would you say it’s worth the money to stick to the main branded ones i.e. CB/FR?
 
Hi everyone,

So I had the vaccine last week and now I am 6 days late. Last time it made my period come early.
No symptoms, but my partner kept on at me to test. I have a night out saturday so I reluctantly did(I hate testing as the negatives make me feel so bad)
And I got my first ever BFP. ❤️

I am honestly in total shock. We are at the fertility clinic. My partner has low sperm mobility and I found out a week ago today that I have endometriosis and was devestated.

Its early days and I know anything could happen. I also know this may make some of you feel bad. But I also hope it gives some of you some hope. It's taken 20 cycles and no hint of anything in all that time.

I found out today my SIL is also pregnant. Straight away. It still made me annoyed. Its really unfair. The heartache of TTC had made me decide I didn't want to try next month. But it had already happened ❤️

I have a way to go but I hope my news gives you all that hope tonight if any of you are in need of it ❤️

Ditch that bitch, seriously what an absolute thoughtless cowbag. If you don't, hopefully she will forget your baby name 🤞maybe engineer a conversation where you choose some random name you hate and declare it as your favourite. If she does steal your name, don't forget to loudly declare "Bob? You called him Bob? Oh that's SOOOO chavvy" 🖕🖕🖕 🤭

My OH came home from work today and said that his friend at work kept going around showing their baby scan (for their 4 child). Saying how it just happened straight away each time. It’s horrible seeing how much it’s upset him. 😞. It’s not his friends fault though, they aren’t to know how we’re struggling, but still. 💔

I am sorry 😞❤️
 
for various reasons, I think I am going to step away from this thread until I feel in a place where I can try again ❤️

I’ve made a thread about loss, as I do want to talk about it and process my feelings but I’m just not sure here is the right place. Hopefully soon I will be strong enough to be back with you ladies here. Thank you so much for all your lovely messages, I have my fingers crossed tightly for you all 💖

if any of you want to discuss your losses or need to vent about loss, please come chat with me xx

Miscarriage/Baby Loss

Hi all, I have been on the TTC thread for a few months and have recently had an early loss. I have discussed my experience on the TTC thread but I’m conscious that I don’t feel it’s the right place to process my grief amongst others good news and 2WWs, and I don’t know if I’m ready to try again...

Thankyou all so so much.

You have all been there for me through all my time TTC when I have cried, vented, been positive again, angry and everything in between and I can't thank you all enough.

I just want my journey to give a bit of hope to anyone who may need it. I used to look for stories of people like me who got a positive suddenly after a long time trying. It gave me hope and I hope mine gives some of you some too. Xxxx
