@Naske. Thank you. I've had dreams of not being pregnant/losing the baby and in my dreams, I was literally heart broken like you mentioned. But dreams and reality are so completely different. My last pregnancy, I didn't ask my friend (on CTP) her thoughts after she miscarried but then shortly after had a baby boy. I hope when you see your sister, it might be hard for a little bit but you will make it through it.

@punk. Congrats again. It's so exciting. I pray you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

@Alex. I have no special plan on telling them. I really wanted to after my last ultrasound as their anniversary was the next day and when I did want to tell them, my gut was telling me it wasn't time. I hope soon though as I'm not going to get any smaller. My one friend before she had her baby, I ran into her when she was 8 months and I was pretty sad that she never told me or announced it on social media. So, I guess that is where my mentality is at in telling anyone.

@Amy. Good luck. I hope you get your BFP when you are ready to test. I had a few down days really close to my BFP, so it's hard to say if it is an extra surge or pregnancy. You will have your answer real soon.

@hberry. Hope you have a really good anniversary and that your sons appointment goes well. Good luck as well for when you test.

@alex - we really want a girl, but we will be happy either way!

Thank you dragonfly. We're hoping for good news and expecting changes to my son's pku diet as there usually is. (Intake (protein), formulas, calories, etc.) Will be dropping off our 3 younger kids with my mother in law while we are at the appointment.

Thank you @Dragonfly...it’s been a long time coming so I hope so...boobs and nips still tender/sensitive...cramps/tugging on my right side yesterday evening...ever the hopeful but you just never know do you with the body and mind playing tricks....
@Punk I would really love a girl too...ahh so much...I often think about when it comes to the time of my own children having children and you get to be a part of the experience with your daughter where as not so much with your sons it seems...I definitely could not have done it without my mum there that’s for sure

So AF showed up today. 7 days late. My cycle is usually about 31 to 33 days but this one was 38. Cd1 again. In a way I'm relieved because I knew I wasn't pregnant so to just finally get to start again was "good". I hope everyone else is doing well!

So during work yesterday, this student of mine which I know for 6 years came to me announcing her pregnancy... me and hubby were present and we both were so awkward. I came to the point that I cannot hide my feelings on pregnancy announcements anymore. Fortunately my student thought that I was emotional because of the pregnancy and not for personal reasons. That’s a good thing with this situation. I can always act that it is tears of joy...

Sorry Alex. Sending you virtual hugs. I too am getting very upset with others around me having babies and finding it hard because I feel like my body is failing.

Ahh HPenny I’m so sorry.l about your AF...ifinfers crossed for the next cycle.
Alex and HBerry...I know how you feel...it’s so deflating..two of my cousins both have had their second this year, both little girls to add to the family both of whom already had a little boy close to my sons age...I want that so badly too x

Woke up this morning 10dpo, boobs no longer feel sore although still have pretty sensitive nips! Making me think it’s all just been hormones...did have cramps these past two days though which I’m clinging on to and also randomly had cystitis last night which o found strange as I have been drinking water recently like no ones business because it’s been so hot here..downed a few glasses of cranberry and it’s seems to have done the trick. Still have creamy cm which also is usually more clear around this time of my cycle...and have woke up with hay fever type runny nose this morning too....currently sat at my table with a tissue up my nose not sure if it just a fluke month or not...trying to just concentrate on work but as I am still working from home the trips to the loo to check boobs and cm are plentiful lol. Keeping my fingers crossed for you all x

Hberry don’t say that! You had 4 beautiful babies. Your body definitely isn’t failing you. You just need some time for this one. On the other side, me, I never been pregnant. Not once in my life and I’m almost 38 years old.. now this is a failure if you ask me.

Amy hopefully days will past fast and you’ll be getting a beautiful bfp soon! Fingers crossed.

AFM I’ll probably O today. Our BDing wasn’t the best this cycle but we did it a couple of times. I’m worried that my cm is never what it needs to be. Any recommendations?
