Parents of lost babies and potential of all kinds: come here to share the technicolour, the vividness, the despair, the heart-broken-open, the compassion we learn for others, having been through this mess — and see it reflected back at you, acknowledged and understood.

ttc | pregnancy | birth after loss > That actually made me laugh!

This morning I was squinting at a 9DPO test and thinking 'is that a line....?' and decided to get out yesterdays negative and see if I could see a definite difference. There was something, a shadow of a hardly maybe something, but I just wasn't sure. I moved my hand, hit my cup of tea and one solitary splash leapt out of the cup and landed right on the bit that changes, soaking round the edges and washing all evidence instantly away.

I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow to see if it was then :D I guess I'm just not meant to know today!

Yeah. i think maybe i was imagining things. But better that than a failing positive I guess. Last month I knew I was, this month would have been surprised.

The fat lady isn't singing, I guess, not to have a positive on DPO10 but I think she's clearing her throat.

lol, thank you Cheryl :)

I'm 12DPO and still getting negatives. I don't feel pregnant but I'll give it two more days and then see. At least it has got my cycle beyond 11 days so there is some good in it.

Hope everyone else is well. I'm on a group holiday this week where there are 3 babies. I'm trying very hard but beginning to need to be in my room a lot now.
