TTC after MC. The ups, the downs, the never ending Toad in the Hole and the relentless onslaught from the Facebook faceslaps!

Thanks oneday I'm hoping its just my body playing tricks.

Fingers crossed hope :)

Still no AF.. Just brought a boots cheapy test so will test again. Don't need to wee and I'm fasting so can't drink water! Will have to test tonight

I'm with lou POAS and it was of course BFN. I have no idea why I torture myself with it?
Due next week, not convinced OV tbh.
12 week scan would be next Monday :(
Argh!

Thanks boozle it's good to hear someone else had the spotting too. I'm a bit confused, my ov sticks have come up positive the last two days but the one today was negative so I'm wondering if maybe I did ovulate? If so, dtd last night would have been at the right time so now I'm foolishly hoping that I've caught before my first AF. Utterly ridiculously unrealistic but that's my brain at the moment!

Oh treacle, I'm sorry your AF might be making an arrival

lou and everyone else who's AF is due soon - hoping that evil witch stays away!

*pregnant

Now I have af cramps and I'm upset. Maybe I'm not oregnant after all :(

smiling I'm exactly the same. Convinced I'm pregnant. When is your period due? Mine is today or tomorrow due to short luteal phase.

I was really naughty and tested today though and bfn but with my pregnancy I didn't test positive until 11dpo so no idea why I tested.

Just popping in to say hello, I can't keep up with this thread at the moment. Nothing much to report here, CD14 and expecting to ov next weekend or early next week so have dtd for fun a couple of times so far, then will be getting down to serious business from Thursday.

Fish slaps to all rule breakers for poas'ing when it's not a Friday!

Lol, it made me smile :) it's good that cd13 he's still got a sense of humour!

Lol boozle! These boys eh?! That sounds like something my mister would say. Never acknowledge they're listening at the time do they? Buggers. The lot of them

POAS again this morning. Pretty sure if I told my councillor this i would be sectioned inside of an hour!!
Not sure why I am doing it, just know I am bloody obsessed. I think it's because a series of bfn's seems easier to handle the eventuality that I am not pregnant. AF due this weekend which means five days to get my head around the idea I may not be preggas. I am hoping it gets easier next cycle

Oh boozle im sorry but that made me laugh!

im still convinced im pregnant, please someone slap me before I have the horrible horrible let down of af, I think I might fall apart if im not. I dont know how to talk myself out of this certainty that I just am, theres no evidence and af isnt due till next week, I think I might have gone a bit mad

oneday I also had the spotting thing for the first few times after dtd, I think it's just old blood - nice! I refuse to fish slap you for googling quick conception stories - it gives us all hope!
I've just got a solid blue smiley and text DP to tell him to come home early tonight! He's replied (and I quote) 'my swimmers take at least 24 hours to replenish to top quality, even then apparently there are only 50-60% in quantity, I have come to work for a break and to allow my baby making abilities to replenish, spend your time not quoting bizarre baby making facts but buying oysters or underwear or something! That said, see you tonight love...'
So he does listen to my statistics! And then uses them against me - gah!

Oh, and at 9:40 this morning we would have been having our 12 week scan. Super. We're off out for the day to take our minds off it.

I've been googling success stories of people falling pregnant two weeks after mc/ERPC - welcoming any fish slaps! That with signs of infection after sex following ERPC. Can't win as I'm freaking out about pg and infection and thinking that we dtd too soon! Arghhh!

dulcet I don't think it can hurt going to he Dr just to put your mind at rest?

Morning all!

Oneday, I had that, and infact that reaction and description is pretty much exactly what happened in my house. Sounds normal to me. Glad you are back on it though, and the bleeding has stopped!

Boozle, I think they all like the idea of the sex on tap when TTC but its much more of a chore than they appreciate!

I still have this lower back/kidney pain. Wondering if it could be an infection and considering going to doctors. Anyone had this? I am 10 days on today.

Morning everyone,

dulcet don't beat yourself up about not checking for a negative test. There's so much conflicting advice, you just have to do what's right for you. I'm very much going for the if my body is ready to get pregnant again before AF then it will happen.

treacle and hope really am hoping your AF stays away and it's good news for you.

So we dtd for the first time last night. 2 weeks after ERPC and after 3 days of no bleeding. I cried and cried afterwards, partly because it was so nice to connect with DH again but also because it was kind if confirming that I wasn't pg anymore and it was the start of trying again. This morning, I've got some light brown spotting. Am guessing this is just old blood that has been dislodged? Sorry if TMI with your cornflakes! Did anyone else have this?

Morning all! Well done to everyone surviving the weekend - sounds like some of you have had a very hard time of it. I've spent the weekend merrily drinking beer in a yurt, deciding I must be pregnant so must stop drinking beer in said yurt and then slapping myself round the face with a, tuna sized, fish and reminding myself I haven't actually ov'd yet so that would be petty hard! Broody I'd pounce - you'll only worry that you should have if you don't - but then again I think we've established that I'm slightly neurotic on that front! My poor DP is desperate for a break, all his illusions of getting it on tap are shattered as he's realised it's rather hard work! Have a happy Monday everyone and fingers crossed for all that are POAS this week.

Morning all, still no AF here, still no positives, I am joining the wierd and unpredictable cycles club please!

Morning gang ... and so begins another week. I'm in a weird sort of limbo at the moment (this seems to be an ongoing theme with me) - I had an almost-but-not-quite positive OPK on cd11 and 12, but have had very clear negatives since then - literally no second line at all. So I thought I was about to ovulate but it never really developed into anything. I have had absolutely no other signs either, no ewcm, my temps are fairly level apart from small dips on cd10 and cd14. So I reckon I am in yet another annovulatory cycle, this will be the 4th one. What a load of old bollocks this ttc lark is.
I hope you are all more successful than I am! Some of you seem to be getting lots of pg symptoms so I really hope that is a good sign. Hopefully some bfps coming our way this week

I'd go for tonight if you can manage it broody.
Thanks :) I'm cramping a bit now so hoping it's not af.

You're not out til the witch appears, hope. I'm keeping everything crossed for you x Same for you treacle x

Gosh this thread moves fast!

I'm sorry to have read some of you ladies are really down and struggling with the number of bumps around. You're so brave going to baby showers, there's not a chance I'd have the strength to do that! I'm trying to be positive and think about how I don't know peoples stories and whether or not they may have struggled to get their bumps, so not to be begrudging and focus on me. It's hard. Lord knows it's hard. But otherwise, with my history of depression (had PND after I had dd, brought on by sleep deprivation), I just think I will go downhill again.

I'm on cd15 and got a relatively strong line on my ic ov stick earlier so I shall be partaking in as much TITH as we can manage over the next few days. Dh is on lates tonight (won't be back til 1030), I may wait up for him to pounce - although dd usually stirs about 11 so could catch us mid shag. Otherwise, it's all systems go tomorrow night. Or might that be too late? What do you ladies think?

Hang in there do

You were really brave english

Clueblue ovulation sticks said I ovulated cd16.. And now I'm cd34.. If I was pregnant it should've shown by now.. I think my AF is coming tomorrow or in a few days time.. This wait has sucked. I've wasted so much money testing, so ladies I know it's hard, but don't waste your money even cheapies until the first day of your period date! I regret it so much so I will now not test until its AF day for next month

hope and lou I completely get that!
I have been POAS daily and I'm not due until next week I don't think.
I have no idea what's going on- Tmi warning, I've had damp pants all day buy no ewcm so what is going on?
I just wish I had AF or a BFP.
F/C treacle!
Go for it just!
