I started this same thread in December and was lucky enough (after 7 months!) to get pregnant with our first. Unfortunately I had a mc just before Christmas at 5 weeks. Cycle was a bit erratic at the start but looks like I ovulated at my normal time and BBT has risen. I'm almost certain I won't be lucky enough to get pregnant straight away after mc but I thought starting a thread like last time might help!!

Tigger I think if I were you i'd poas just to get an answer. But if you think it would be worse to see bfn than the witch wait it out. Hope it is a bfp though. Smile

I wish i hadnt read any internet stories of people getting upduffed during their wtf cycle. I know it happens to the lucky ones but all the stories I read lead me into a false sense that it happened more often and that I of course would be one of those lucky ones!

babytinks89 · 07/02/2014 08:49

I'm trying :)
So whats the stats so far girls?

Anyone due to poas this weekend??? 1 more weeeek for me to go!

Baxter2014 · 07/02/2014 08:37

Oh and welcome misery - sorry you are here. We are a nice friendly lot so please feel free to ask us anything x

Baxter2014 · 07/02/2014 08:35

Oh Tutti Nooooooooo! sorry to hear she got you. Know we find ourselves on the same cycle day. I am going to do SMEP again this month. Im keeping up with my vitamins and I have ordered some of that Concieve plus lube stuff to see if that helps (takes me a while to get going IYKWIM and when we have to DTD every bloody night it may help to speed things up Hmm is that bad??)

tigger the wtf cycle can play with your mind. I was determined not to test but you have no idea really whats going on with your body. some people go back to being regular (in which case - yey! could well be a BFP, FX) and others have extended wtf cycles. You need to do what is best for you. If getting a BFN would be too much to bear then it is best to wait and see what happens, if it is a BFP you will know soon enough.

baby it only takes one go so dont worry. and just because you dont feel anything means nothing. Last month I would have bet my house on the fact I was preggers because of how I felt and lo and behold the witch arrived. Symptoms at this stage mean bugger all, especially after MC, because what is 'normal' for you goes out of the window.

tigger8 · 07/02/2014 07:35

Yes, I agree English......just one Olympic swimmer! The blokes have a part to play too! I chuck vitamins down mine and am always whinging about hot baths!

My MC started on 29th Dec. which now makes me 12 days late, or does it in this WTF period. Too nervous to test! Reallllllly nervous!

EnglishGirlAbroad · 07/02/2014 07:04

Think I've finally ov'd. All the right symptoms, fair amount of ewcm, positive OPK and a temp dip followed by rise! Cd14 too! Text book!
I'm not going to test til 21st though, at that point I should be 16dpo if the bitch hasn't arrived!! Fingerscrossed!!

Babytinks, don't feel down. Remember it only takes not little swimmer! And plenty of people it seems, get up duffed by accident. It just takes one go. Don't be too hard on yourself, this journey is hard enough with blaming yourself Smile

babytinks89 · 06/02/2014 23:17

Aww girls so sorry for that the red bitch has arrived :(
And congrats to any bfp's!

Yeah i'm 4dpo today..... Nothing yet feel nothing!! I just feel empty, 10 more days to poas and it can't come quick enough, but i am really feeling down and shiiiit that i haven't done enough :( not what i had planned we where going to do..

Any symptoms yet anyone?? Smile

Aqua78 · 06/02/2014 21:43

Baxter, so sorry :-( I'm sure you're body and you will figure each other out again soon. Sounds like you have a wonderful hubbie for support.

English, have some fun and get on with dtd! I guess we can all only ever wait and see.

Tigger, your patience is amazing. I really pray you get that BFP soon!

Welcome miserywaterfall. Sorry for your loss. I think Babytinks and I are a few days ahead of you, but we've just started the 2ww as well.

Tutti, so sorry. So upsetting. Enjoy your wine!

Xx

Tutti · 06/02/2014 21:31

Soooo I started bleeding ConfusedConfused

So I am cd 1 too again....

I have had a large glass of wine ... Shed a few tears ... But ready to start again.... Am going to order preseed off Amazon to go with my vits and opks .....

What else is there to flipping say except its absolute rubbish ... But knowing you are all here helps enormously ...... But it's not fair ... We should all be looking forward to our first scans and instead we are all here .... I'm sorry for saying it but I just feel soo bloody angry and upset at the bad luck of it all ....

I think I let it out here more than in rl ..... Sorry guys xx

Swedaway hope you keep ' checking' in xxxxx

miserywaterfall · 06/02/2014 15:52

Hi everyone, thought I'd say hello since I am currently jumping on to the ttc bandwagon, after a mmc, which ended with ERPC 2 weeks ago exactly.

I got a negative on pg test and positive on opk, so decided we'd give it a go and see what happens, but it's quite unnerving not knowing whether my cycle is going to go back to normal quickly, etc.

Congrats Swede, so happy for you and fingers crossed for a healthy pregnancy :)

Baxter I might join you with the Wine tonight!

So hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining x

Baxter2014 · 06/02/2014 10:24

I am definitely going to have a glass of Wine tonight!!

I am not so annoyed about AF arriving - I am just annoyed that I can't trust my body anymore. I was having all the symptoms and I felt the feeling that I was PG! This MC has really thrown me and my cycles are obviously screwed. I just want to get back to normal.

Things I have learnt in this process:

  1. I cannot trust my body/instincts I can only trust a PG Test!
  2. Seeing 2+ magpies in the park does not mean shit
  3. dreaming about being pregnant means bugger all
  4. I have a fantastic and supportive husband that stands by me throughout this rollercoaster even though I feel I am going mental.

So at least thats something! I know it will happen for us, we really haven't been trying for long (the first 5 months we were using KY jelly - doh! The first month we went without is when I got my PG) and I have always thought we would have a November baby! This month is our month!! so here I am CD1....

Anyway ladies, thanks for the support...I really hope you get to know what is going on in your cycles soon. Its the not knowing/out of control bit thats the worst isnt it? I always want to scream 'but this is not normal for me! Whats happening?' Truth is no one knows and only time will tell xx

tigger8 · 06/02/2014 10:03

Ladies, ladies.....I know how you feel. Shit, isn't it? I think we all know that we, probably, won't be as lucky as Swede, whom I am delighted for! We just have to wait but I do know, for most of us, it will be so worth it in the end. If it is any consolation, it took us 3.5 yrs to adopt our first child and 15 yrs to conceive the second. So, I guess I have had to accept that there's some stuff you can't control. Don't think it would hurt to have a glass or two to help along the way??

EnglishGirlAbroad · 06/02/2014 08:56

Sorry AF looks likes she on her way Baxter Sad. I feel so out of control of all this stupid ttc.

I had a few days of brown spotting after my mc at cd 23-25, thought it was a bit weird but part of my wtf cycle.
Now over the last few days i've had a fair bit of ewcm and some ov pains. Now I'm left wondering if that spotting was my first af after the mc and i'm now in fact onto cycle 2 post mc and on cd15 of that cycle and about to ov. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!! Angry

Feel very weird at not having an a proper af..... i felt like having a proper bleed would sort my hormones out and give me a definitive answer. And i could crack on with cycle 2, now i feel like the carpet's been pulled from under my feet!!

Baxter2014 · 06/02/2014 08:29

Soooooo 5 days late and I get up this morning and go to the loo and I wipe and there is pink/brown blood. Looks like AF is on the way. I just cannot get my head around it. I was so sure Sad. Why does my body have to be so cruel? I have never been this late and have never felt so PG.

I just want to cry.

Good luck to the rest of you ladies xx

Aqua78 · 06/02/2014 06:10

Feeling excited, but really don't want to be disappointed... I'm 4dpo today and started feeling boob tenderness and abdominal flutterings in the night. Only very slight, but definitely something... Am I imagining things??!?!!

tigger8 · 05/02/2014 23:00

All right ladies, now I know why this is called the WTF period. I caN't keep count of the amount of times I have said this, usually every time I go to the loo. Is CD one definitely the first day of bleeding? If so, I am 10 days late.....never been this late before but, then, never had a miscarriage. I feel a big sickly and back achey....kinda periody, but then, kinda not. WTF? ........WTF?..........too scared to POAS.......yet.

Tutti · 05/02/2014 20:03

Oh right ... Stats ....
40 years old
Was not ttc but found at pregnant 28 dec but miscarried 9 jan
So in the wtf cycle apparently due af tomorrow ... But then fertility friend changed it halfway through cycle to 9
But have never had cycles that long

So we will see

I have had cramps since 4dpo .... And am just going nuts hoping I will get a bfp!!!!!

Tutti · 05/02/2014 19:56

SmileSmileSmileSmileSmileSwede brilliant news SmileSmileSmilesoo happy for you xxxx

babytinks89 · 05/02/2014 17:04

Ahhh so happy for you swede!!!
I need to book in with my doctor actually and hope i can get something too as so scared of mc again :(

Aqua78 · 05/02/2014 15:47

Oh my goodness!!! Swede that's such great news!! Congratulations and praying it all goes well.

My stats: Aqua (35) ttc #2, mc 18th Jan at 6wks+3, BFP/AF due 16th Feb

Tigger, our plan was I'd go back to work and go on 2nd maternity leave in Sep, then maybe do some supply while babies are young. Of course mc wasn't in the plan, so not sure how we'll figure out the timing once we're pregnant, but only want to go back for the Summer Term basically... full time :-(

Baxter2014 · 05/02/2014 15:15

OMG Swede Mega congratulations!!!!!

Hopefully I will be joining you when I test on Sat (still no AF for me) followed by everyone else very soon. Grin Grin Grin

EnglishGirlAbroad · 05/02/2014 15:02

Great news swede!

tigger8 · 05/02/2014 12:50

Excellent news Swede.....brilliant!

tigger8 · 05/02/2014 12:49

First cycle since MC at 5wks. Aqua....I didn't return to work as I didn't want to leave baby.....financially f....d, but tightened belts and I do intervention classes at local high school at the weekend.

SwedeAway · 05/02/2014 12:49

Hello all, well I got my bfp this morning! Although very excited, I am also petrified that something will go wrong again. Have just picked up some hormone tablets prescribed by my gyno which should help against mc happening again.

Just got confirmation with digi which said 2-3 weeks pg.
