TTC after recent mc - Thread 2

Hi Girls,

Well I am relieved to report that I got 'Pregnant 1-2' on the CB Digi and a stronger FRER this morning!! My OH actually believes me now as he 'couldnt see' the faint line yesterday!! My cycles have been all over the place so not 100% sure how I am meant to calculate my dates as I have been ovulating late. FF says 4 weeks + 2 but that sounds too far if I am getting 1-2 on CB digi.

Brave, Lol and Gary I have been feeling very tired (want to go to bed at 9pm), had twinges and I am STARVING the whole time. I also had a weird hypo walking the dog today.

Lol I was planning to do another CB Digi next week to check it is 'going up' and got doctors on Tuesday evening and will ask them for bloods to check hormones.

Anyone else testing soon??

Ok so in summary, some of us are crazed sex pests, some are dealing with brown stringy shit, and others are nauseous sweaty knicker checkers?

We're a glamourous lot aren't we?!

Yay for the 3+ ladies.

Knicker spotting is a favourite pastime of mine. Well, when I say favourite, I mean I spent a lot of time doing it.

Broke & did a digi, still 2-3, have ordered more off eBay, hopefully I'll be 3+ by the time they turn up.
BLol, every single twinge or slight bit of dampness in knickers & I think it's all over!

Well done Brie!!

I have 3+ envy
Think ill have to do it next week or I won't be able to sleep. Am knicker checking 100 times a day. Are you all the same?

Awesome namechange Blundercats!

And hurrah for Brie! I also had a 3+ this morning... I'm 5+4 by ovulation, but wanted to wait a whole week after getting 2-3 to be sure.

Feeling pretty sick, most of the time, but no actual vom to report yet. Plus very burpy. And a bit bloated. And get occasional night sweats. Did someone say you're supposed to 'glow' during pregnancy?!

What news BAlmond? Anyone else have any symptoms to report?

Good news brie!

Caved (again). 3+... that'll just bloody well have to do won't it? For the next 7 weeks anyway.

Any update BAlmond?

I've been peeing on internet cheapies everyday, and the lines are developing before the control line comes up (happy!)..doing another digi tomorrow to see what it says, I'm a week behind you Blol! Good luck at the Drs on Monday.
I'll go for a private scan before we see anyone NHS-ey..but as I'm only 4 wks (tomorrow) we'll give it another 3 weeks, to make sure we can see something on the screen.

Hurrah for dtd & nc Blunder!

Brie I think I'm 5 weeks on Saturday according to NHS website calculation. I'm going doctor on Monday so will wait and see what she says.
Anyone else on shag fest!?
I feel hungry all the time and my boobs are very itchy but other than that I'm ok. Also very tired.

Ok brie, I reckon its time for the namechange

plus we dtd last night so even though its unlikely, I guess I'm back in the game

hmm interesting.. earache... yes I think that can be a symptom. I totally agree that there should be sticks that follow progress for weekly piece of mind, or just info about what's going on in there!

Is earache a symptom blundercats? (Just going to keep calling you that!) Was up all night with it, and remembered that last time ibuprofen worked a treat and that got my brain racing about when the hell that was in relation to my mc. But what's done is done...

Blol I've been surprised at my self-control in the quest for a 3+ so you are definitely not alone there. May well do it today since if I hold off too long I'll be paranoid that it doesn't actually mean anything. Why can't they do 5-6, 11-12 etc etc?! Same goes for an early scan. I desperately want one but know it'd only appease me for a few days. I was 5 weeks yesterday according to LMP so guess it's a good time to poas if I can't find anything else to spend a tenner on!

Good luck/have fun/fingers crossed for everyone else.

Quiet congrats Almond hope you get another BFP when you test. FX.

james, I've just realised my comment about chemical pgs may have sounded a bit negative, I didn't mean it to at all - just was spouting musing out loud as a result of my overactive brain doing too much thinking about every scenario for me. The boobs sound very promising indeed- I had really sore boobs pre bfp last time too, and can't wait to get them again one day! even though I had to clutch them in order to descend stairs

lol I would poas again if I were you too- but yes at the right time so as not to cause unnecessary worry.

almond - any news?

How are all the bfps feeling? Any more symptoms or are you all doing just dandy?

It's a good point coke as I only have left and I'm close to buying shares at clear blue if I continue to spend so much money on them! I think I'll be 5 weeks sat. I poas tue and got 2-3 so may wait until end of next week. Last time I started spotting at 6 weeks and lost baby at 7. But I also had 2-3 a lot further than I am now but had no knowledge so thought it was all ok so am trying not to panic. Gp app next Monday.
Banana get shaggjng. I don't think I'll go anywhere near DH for the moment. Think he will be pleased with the break!

Blol I know if it was me I would (not condoning neuroticism, just saying i understand!) Because I'd want to know my hormones were going up as they should. It's just an extra reassurance that everything's okay, and if I get pg again I will very much want that.
However, do some research - find out when they're expected to change time periods - you could drive yourself nutty testing and it not changing x

Poas again tomorrow almond!!! Poas poas poas.
I'm in two minds whether to poas again next week and see if I get 3+. What do you ladies think!? Is that taking obsession to another level?

James Fx. Sounds promising!

I have stabby pains in my boobs, which is what I had last time at 4dpo. (I still have my notes on countdowntopregnancy.com from last time) also the same type of cm (lovely!) so am speculating wildly here.

Yeah that's a good point about chemical pregnancies, I'll make sure to bear it in mind before I tell anyone, next time I get a bfp.

Thanks for all the messages. Stocked up on more CB Digis and FRER today so I will try testing tomorrow! Posy I know! Fingers crossed this one sticks as I need that light at the end of the tunnel. I have had 2 weeks off work so it has been fab !

ibelieveinpink I stopped bleeding on the 5th November. So I haven't really been waiting that long. I'm just impatient. I think I ov'ed about 10 days ago, so shouldn't be too much longer. We've started DtD again in the last few days too. It all felt a bit weird after the mc and I associated 'down there' with all the bleeding etc. Glad that's passed or TTC could have been a bit of a challenge!

It'll be our time soon

Woo - congrats Blol!! So pleased. And Almond - woo! Fingers crossed for a sticky bean so you can go on maternity leave asap, haha. (how's the work situ going by the way?)

Congrats to Gary too - so many newly upduffed (like it), what a lucky thread. xxx

coke remind me, how long you been waiting for af? Im still waiting too. Thought I felt a bit crampy yesterday, but nothing! We are off on a mini break next week (giving ourselves a mini chill out before TTC again) what do you bet it rocks up then?! Wow my karma is screwed at the moment!

Fx for a digi BFP for almond soon!

Wow almond, congratulations! Very exciting indeed! Keep us posted.

coke, fx af comes sooner rather than later for you. Stress of TTC + no alcohol sounds like a bloody awful combination to me.

james, do you worry about cp when testing early? Obviously I was much further on when mc hit last time, but I'm not sure whether to wait to test late if I get the chance of a bfp again, just to preserve sanity. wot sanity?!

bear sounds like you have a fancy system where you are with the texting! I rang mine last time and ended up ringing back again week's later as they clearly forgot me. Useless.

Congrats Almond fx for more positives soon...

Happy shagging Peanut and Sally

GaryB - I have texted the special number this morning so ball's in their court. If I don't hear nowt by tomorrow, I will call and leave a message, or email. Bit disinclined to email as it's quite a generic email and worried about how confidential it is!
