hi everyone, my husband and I were delighted we'd conceived baby #3 3 months after having my mirena removed. Unfortunately I miscarried at around 6 weeks, my bleeding started on 6th July and ended on 15th July, my hcg levels never got above 143 so they left my system pretty quick, by the 18th I was having bfn at the drs. I wondered when should I expect my AF? before the mc I was always 28 days bang on! I have had no symptoms for AF, although I have had really bad heartburn for 4 days, this was my first symptom last time too, so could I be pregnant? I'm useless at working out dates and cycles and ovulation etc..... we bd'd on 15th July and have been pretty consistently b'ding every other night since then with the exception of a couple of days. when should a test show bfp given all these dates? thanks for taking the time to read, hope someone has some advice for me x

hi MrsRV!! You're comments always make me smile :) no AF for me yet, just wish it would appear! I have a DD aged 12 and a DS aged 9!! big gap but I'm only 28 and hubby 35 so still feel young enough to do it ha! I'm also full time at uni studying for a degree in social work, hubby is a stay at home dad as DD is disabled and needs round the clock care, he's more than happy to be at home with #3 too, DD does go to school from 9am-3.15pm so he will only have 1 child to contend with haha!!.....

p.s I had a lovely lunch anyway lol, i made tuna and bean salad with baby spinach :D

p.p.s.....hoping my AF will be here in the next week, we do seem to do things a week apart, me and you! :)

P.s. good luck not good lunch! Although, not wishing you a bad lunch... A good lunch is always nice. Seriously, 5 minutes spare time is clearly too much!! Grin

It's a bloody rollercoaster isn't it? One minute you think you are, next minute u think you're not, then you do a test and even though its negative you cling to the hope its just too early! Anyway, AF arrived for me last night... At least this will start my cycle again so I know when I am and can revert to trusty shag app Grin good lunch Mrs A. Keep me posted. Just finished a soft play session with DD and shattered, remind me why I want another one??? Mrs A I didn't realise you already had 2 little ones! How old are they? Girls or boys? NOSY. Sat in car at Sainsburys while DD sleeps and hubby is buying Saturday night supplies - hence the essay and all the questions... I have 5 spare minutes! Grin

OMG, I hope it's a BFP for you MrsA. I see you have returned to TTC... As have we. Still no sign of AF for me either - tested last weekend and big fat horrible NEGATIVE. Boooooooo!!!!

Hello MrsA, I'm not really sure, trying to work dates out myself after MC, but if you assume 6th July to be CD1 then if I've counted correctly you are currently on CD33. Of course dates may be a bit mucked up with the MC, but I think I would take a test with FMU tomorrow and see what it says. Fingers crossed for you let me know how you get on Smile
