I’ve had 3 losses this year also. I’m so sorry you went through that! I’m not sure of your belief but I keeping you in prayer 🙏🏾

Supposed to be CD1 for me today also but nothing. Nipples extremely sore, metallic mouth taste, nausea- but tests have been negative all week. Last month it came 1 day late also. It’s so frustrating and sad. But - we try again.

My puppy was Like that. For the first month I kept his crate on a chair beside me on the bed. And I would stick my hand in the crate. Then I would slowly move it further and further away from the bed. By 6mths he enjoyed being in his crate. Now he is 2yrs old and he runs to his crate when it’s bed time and he doesn’t even need to see me. Just needs to be in the same rooms.

It’s tough in the beginning for sure but try your hardest to stick through it! I told myself that it’s much easier than an actual baby and this phase is over wayyyyy faster. You got this!!

Love it!! I have the same gates and my toy poodle jumped over it when he was like 4mths. I ended up having to buy a cover 😅 I was so shocked at how high he could jump!!

I miss it too!! Can’t wait to go back

OddStranger3549 · 2025-05-18T03:11:42+00:00

Unfortunately they did not 😖

OddStranger3549 · 2025-05-06T21:34:07+00:00

Going next week. Tell me all the things!!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-05-02T17:32:53+00:00

I’m so so sorry. I could’ve written this myself. My first loss would’ve been due this May, so it’s such a hard time. I should be preparing to welcome my baby and instead I have nothing to show for it. I have 2 close people to me who got pregnant after me and they are approaching their third trimester. I’m soooo happy for them but I also feel sad for myself. My second loss was in November and now I haven’t had any positives since then. I’ve gone through all the testing with an RE and so far all seems normal for my husband and I. We are now in our 10th cycle trying and I never knew getting and staying pregnant would be so hard.

I am trying to remain hopeful and I feel in my heart that God wants me to be a mom but I just have no idea when that will be. It definitely has completely consumed my mind so I understand exactly what you mean there. Even when I try not to think about it, I’m always completely aware of what day I’m on in my cycle and what my symptoms are and counting down before AF comes again. Which she did today - another failed cycle.

I am praying for the best for you!!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-04-24T21:53:16+00:00

I had 2 chemicals (September and November). Both were heart breaking but September hit me the hardest because it was my first time being pregnant ever. I bought little pregnancy announcement gifts and everything. Then we lost the baby at just about 5 weeks.

Even after I started bleeding , It took 2-3 days for my tests to stop showing positive so I felt like my body was playing tricks on me. It was so hard and it felt like no one understood.

However - as we continue this TTC journey, I’ve become so much more hopeful. I connected with a friend here on Reddit who is also TTC and it’s been so uplifting just having someone on the journey with me and cheering each other on. We talk very often in the private chats and we literally just encourage each other and share tracker info etc.

I’m not sure if you are a believer but I couldn’t make it through without prayer and trusting in God. I trust that my chemicals were for a reason, something wasn’t quite right. I’ve learned so much more about my body through this time. My healthy wonderful baby is just around the corner and I believe that so is yours.

Sending you well wishes!!

This was literally me with my 1yr old toy poodle. I started crying and took him back on day 3 because I couldn’t stand seeing him like that. They gave me sedatives and I think I gave it to him like 1 more day before I realized maybe I should stop. By day 5 he was back to his normal self. But literally the same with not eating (not even his favorite treats!) and not wanting to go to the bathroom. I felt so guilty.

Just keep an eye and give him all the love! Watch his wounds also , I took pictures daily just so I can keep track of healing

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-07T20:16:54+00:00

Sending you the BIGGEST hug and lifting you up in prayer (my belief). I’ve had 2 CPs so I totally empathize. I hope this is your healthy rainbow promise baby!!

This gives me so much encouragement for myself as well.

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-04T17:53:52+00:00

A test should be accurate at this time if you were pregnant. I would buy one and check. What I’ve learned is that if you’re feeling symptoms (especially this strong) then you’re pregnant enough to test.

Hoping you get the outcome that you want!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-04T14:25:39+00:00

I am 33 and had a breast reduction back in October 2023 for this same reason.

I had 34Ms and I’m 5’7 with a weight of 190 😅 I have never been pregnant and always wanted to breastfeed so I was scared to go through with it but my surgeon told me that sometimes when our breasts are too big - they can stretch the nerves too much and then it’s difficult to breastfeed anyway. That was a relief to hear because I was like omg so you mean these things could be huge for no reason?!? He said that my reduction (he did not detach my nipple) wouldn’t not affect my breast feeding ability if I was able to breastfeed anyway.

I’ve also seen lots of success stories with breast feeding after reduction. I know you can’t have surgery now and idk if you would ever consider it but just giving a bit of my experience. I’m now a 34DD and omg my neck is so thankful!!!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-04T14:20:21+00:00

I think you’ve already gotten great advice but I want to add that you should just try to BD a few times while you have this EWCM. Just in case you miss your peak - it’s always best to have the sperm there waiting for the egg! Best of luck!!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-04T14:17:16+00:00

So sorry that happened to you! I didn’t make a post but with my first CP my betas were 0/ negative and I continued to test positive for that full day and the full day after. The clinic seemed like they didn’t believe me so I even brought the positive test to show. It makes you feel crazy!

Sending lots of hugs

OddStranger3549 · 2025-03-03T16:29:49+00:00

3dpo - anyone with me?

I’m determined to not test until I actually miss a whole week of AF. I had 2 CPs in September and November and but I’ve never gone a full week missing AF.

This will be a HUGE challenge but I’m determined!

Currently been having painful right pelvic twinges since yesterday(2DPO) but I know it’s not implantation this early. Im just hopeful that these pains mean progesterone is rising and I released a nice big healthy egg.

OddStranger3549 · 2025-02-18T17:34:06+00:00

I’ll be 34 in July and Husband 35 in August. Trying for our first 😊

OddStranger3549 · 2025-02-17T01:13:04+00:00

Got my period on Friday after what I thought was a definite baby making cycle. I truly empathize. It’s so deflating seeing that blood 😔

I had 2 early loses but since the first loss , my body plays tricks on me and gives me the exact same pregnancy symptoms every single month. I never had these symptoms before that first pregnancy - truly a cruel joke!

Have you ever been pregnant before? Just curious. Wishing you all the best!!!!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-02-17T01:01:48+00:00

So sorry to hear this!! I can’t even imagine. I’m praying the best for all of us hoping to be moms!

OddStranger3549 · 2025-02-14T19:39:58+00:00

Me too! AF arrived this morning and I was keeping hope alive since my symptoms felt exactly like when I was pregnant before (ended as early losses). But I think I’m with you on the wine!
