Not sure if I should start new thread for this? Is there one open already?

I'm about 80% certain I see a very faint line, @thegrumpysquirrel! Do you think you can see something in person? I've never had much success photographing squinters. Fingers crossed for the next one...

I got my first AF after the latest miscarriage this morning. Feels funny - the first one I haven't been sad about it a long time! Though I am a bit annoyed with my body because I'd really like to be able to do my first Coventry test in August, which means I need to be two months past miscarriage by 7dpo, and I suspect I'll be just a few days too early for that...

Hi everyone, I posted a while ago but was struggling so didn't post again. I have a DS age 4 but had 6 mc since and having investigations at St Mary's RMC. Just turned 41 so feeling like time is not on my side.

I had an endometrial scratch last month which is supposed to improve chance of successful pregnancy, so we have done all we can to help that come true - plenty of vits, opks and dtd! Strongest opk was unfortunately the day before a day we didn't dtd but still hoping we caught it.

Grumpy I have stared at a lot of hpts and I think I can see the hint of a line. Unfortunately all you can do is wait and test again and hopefully it will get stronger.

I really struggled with temping so haven't tried recently. It's so hard to catch it at the right moment and I spent many nights needing a wee but not wanting to get out of bed in case it affected my chart! I saw those Ovusense things advertised but I don't know, I think I would rather just have a general idea of when ov is and dtd as much as possible.

Water anniversaries are hard. My edd for mc#1 was midsummer day and now I mark all my lost pregnancies on that date. That first mc baby would have been 2 this year and sometimes I feel its presence just out of sight (I don't mean in a ghostly way, just I can imagine it playing with DS, being part of our lives).

Lime19 · 16/07/2017 08:31

Have you taken the test apart? I know they say not to but I did last time and the line was clearer without that silly window.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/07/2017 08:07

I think I can but so faint that it's hard to be sure I'm not imagining it.

Will get more FRER tomorrow, at least I can't waste another one tomorrow morning because I've run out!

Ekphrasis · 16/07/2017 08:04

Sorry cross post - grumpy, have you held in the light? Can you see anything?

Ekphrasis · 16/07/2017 08:03

Can you see anything?

What dpo are you again?

TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/07/2017 08:00

Same here lime! 😩

Lime19 · 16/07/2017 07:55

Ok I looked again and on the enlarged pic I feel like I see something. I'm not sure if it's a trick of the brain because I've seen so many bloody tests my brain kind of fills in the line.

OP posts:
TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/07/2017 07:55

I'm CD30 so expect af tomorrow or at least by Wednesday or so

Lime19 · 16/07/2017 07:53

I can't see a line yet either but the temperature does still mean there's hope.

NoCatsHere · 16/07/2017 07:47

Oh grumpy how frustrating. I'm afraid I can't see anything on that frer, but it might be the picture not showing anything up for me. What cd are you now? I still have everything crossed that because your temp is still up there's a chance!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/07/2017 06:15

Temp is still elevated...

TheGrumpySquirrel · 16/07/2017 06:14

So I did my CBFM test this morning and it said not pregnant but there is definitely a faint second line so I caved and cracked out the FRER! Can you see anything on this?

Waving to everyone after a long absence.

Feeling a bit low here. 2 years (ish) after my first mc and in a month it would be the 2nd baby's EDD. Plus, BFN this morning... AND row with my teenager today. I must be mad.

Sad

Sorry to be a misery guts.

StepAwayFromGoogle · 15/07/2017 21:53

I'm with you, Lime and Yellow, I'm way too lazy to sort charting!

Emvy, thanks, think I'm going to go for it. Although not tonight as we're staying at Mum & Dad's and I just can't!

yellowfrontdoor · 15/07/2017 19:24

All the charting is quite inspiring but I too am going to go with Lime's 'shag all the time' technique due to a mixture of dyslexia those charts may as well be in Japanese to me and laziness! Grin

Although if I do decide to I'm in the right place, you guys know your stuff.

Lime19 · 15/07/2017 19:02

All you charters! I'm quite jealous I'm too lazy to do that. I'm just going to do the dtd all the bloody time approach this month.

But my friend got pregnant via this special thing that you insert in you and leave overnight. It's very sensitive and sends the temperature direct to your phone. It was called "ovusense". Her chart was very clearly a positive before she even tested.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 19:00

No worries just found the charts gallery!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:56

I think you need to pay to see the other charts no?

MouseLove · 15/07/2017 18:54

Have you had a look on the ff app at other people's BFP cycles? You might get some idea of what they should look like. I'm not sure what I'm looking for since yours dips and rises a few times after DPO so it might be harder to guess an outcome. I would certainly say getting yourself worked up about it won't help. 😕 Try to distract yourself with some good food and tv/cinema. X

Blissfulignorance · 15/07/2017 18:51

I'm so crap at reading them, I think the best but hardest thing to do is wait a little longer. Good luck!!

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:43

I don't see a clear "implantation dip" on this like yours @Blissfulignorance but not sure if that means much

TheGrumpySquirrel · 15/07/2017 18:35

Thank you all.. I have no idea whether to be hopeful or not. I need to find a better way of coping with the uncertainty, because it's all consuming.

Mouse I'm sorry you had another short cycle. Fwiw I know that someone previously on this thread conceived with regular 26 day cycles.

Blissfulignorance · 15/07/2017 18:27

@TheGrumpySquirrel this is my chart from my BFP the app didn't like my times that's why some of them are circles not dots. Hope this helps in some way.

I'm not doing anything currently. I'm waiting for af, should appear next week or a bit later maybe. That would be the 4-6 week window they gave me anyway.

MouseLove · 15/07/2017 18:25

Grumpy Id say you might have another 1-4 days before AF is due. From the charts I've seen the temp normally dips day of AF but it can be hit and miss. I'd say you would get a confirmation by testing again on Monday. Good luck!!

Spotting getting a tad heavier today. Thought AF would be full flow but nope just annoying me. Went out for a nice meal last night and I'm having pizza tonight. All my f's are buried under the patio. Managed a 25 day cycle. 😕 that's two in a row.
