TTC After a Loss

Feeling guilty but lucky to have my TTCALers

Hello Ladies,

I've been here for a few months now and I just realized that I have a pattern of bumping:  at least once every cycle I take a hiatus because I feel as though TB is just making me a crazier TTCALer. 

But today has been by far the hardest day and I feel so lucky to have this board to turn to.  I woke up to a temp drop which made FF change my O date (so now I am 13 DPO instead of 17 DPO).  All this was followed by a BFN and then later by some spotting.  Now I'm sitting here in a total funk with AF-caliber cramps.

Call it the CD1 blues.  All I know is that I feel lucky to have you all.  I'm sorry my participation is so spotty.  But I hope you'll still have me?

  • We all have times in which our participation isn't the greatest. Its ok, we understand

    All RPL and IF testing with multiple REs = normal

    5 IUIs = BFN

  • (((hugs))) and I'm sorry for the BFN and temp drop.  I think we all can understand the need to step back - especially when it is to maintain your sanity.

  • Thanks for the understanding and support, Rachel and Buggirl.  Sorry to be all AW today.  J&J, I'd love to have you as a cycle buddy.  I was just stalking you and it seems like we might have about the same follicular phase length.  :)

    Sorry you are  having a rough day today.  Don't feel bad for taking time away. I think we all do that from time to time.  TTCAL can be pretty overwhelming.

    {Hugs} Sorry for CD1.  I hope she leaves quickly and takes a nice long vacation.

    :)  You are so sweet.  Thanks Beth <3
