TTC After MC 12: Hopeful Twats and Emotional Wrecks welcome!

Ooh, congrats, Boat, that's great news! Told you we were on a roll. Love love love a BFP on this thread. Makes me so happy and hopeful.

SJ, if it's any help, I got flashing smiley faces for about 12 days in a row and then I gave up. I wanted to smash the stupid thing up! AF came early so could well be that I didn't ovulate - which is another delightful thing for me to obsess about now. Have spent the best part of the last few days googling 'short cycles and miscarriage' and have since progressed to 'short luteal phase and miscarriage'. Think I'm going to get on the Agnus Cactus. Which I have yet to Google...

Also how the hell is it August... soon it will be 1 year since I started trying. That's pretty depressing. The same month my son turns 3. That age gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Jeeez! 1 year. I'm so pissed off at how long it's taking. I feel like the days drag. I actually want my af to come because then hopefully I'll actually ovulate and then stand a chance.

I think another cruel twist of miscarriage is, it gives you a tiny taste of pregnancy. The testing, the scans, telling people and seeing their happy faces, the exciting symptoms, I had even started to wear maternity clothes. It's all so fresh in my mind still and I long to feel it again. I want morning sickness and stretch marks and cravings.

Depressed tonight.

So sorry Mulder and starshine

Thanks bertie and others I've had tests already and discovered I've got factor v Leiden which I've been injecting myself with which has been rather uncomfortable!
I'm with st Mary's in Paddington, they don't test for progesterone which im super sure is the issue so I might try and demand it next time round. Other than that no problems found.

I'm so, so sorry mulder and starshine.

grumpy it's hard to tell exactly but the middle one looks the darkest. I'd guess they show all the lh at its highest levels, above the dotted line in the graph below. So technically you'll ov just after it starts to come down. So now, tonight or tomorrow morning. Then egg around for 12 hours or possibly more, then add an extra day or two for 'good luck'. That's how I worked it out this time.

So sorry to hear the sad news today mulder and star shine .
Cheering all those in the fw.

Hand holding the ones in tww and for those with af. F'ing af.

So sorry mulder to hear your news- big hugs x

Hi all, sorry haven't caught up on many of the threads. Congrats to those of you ladies with positive results! Wonderful news.

I have found out I have a low ovarian reserve, so all a bit pessistic at the moment and actually thinking we are just going to give up. Just wanted to say goodluck to you all, I hope you all have those sticky BFPS soon and then those lovely babies.

Also it's taken two years of ttc and reoccurrent miscarriages for this diagnosis and it was my accupunturist who encouraged me to check my AMH. I guess if anyone else has had reoccurrent mc and you don't know what your ovarian reserve is, I would recommend getting it checked out- better to know and be assured it is ok, rather than wonder. If you're falling pregnant they assume your reserve is ok, but clearly that's not always the case- st Mary's rmc didn't even check for this. Good luck to you all xx

@NoCatsHere @Ekphrasis it's pretty clear. Below is last night, middle is this morning and bottom is just now - the most positive one yet! Counting tomorrow as ov day I think. Will do another in the morning

So sorry mulder 💔

Thanks lime i was holding off joining the pregnancy threads so as not to jinx it!
I might try and see if I can go to the Epu ar st mary's tommorrow to check if it is eptopic

I kind of think i must have the over friendly uterus problem which is a bit shit as it's not really possible to treat. Blegh feel like im nevee going to get a baby.

Oh mulder. I'm sorry to see you back (in the kindest way possible). Is there any chance? What will you do next? Epu?

It's shit. I'm so sorry.

Oh guys im back here, currently bleeding at 5+3 weeks and just know this one's gone too. I get pregnant very time I try but then lose it every time too.

boat congrats! So glad your scan was happy news. Let us know how you get on in 2 weeks time.
grumpy no idea, when it's like that on an ic and I don't get a super clear line sometimes I crack open a clearblue to confirm ov

I don't know grumpy, the same happened for me this month.

I looked at graphics like this to try to work it out!

Thankyou lime and others for also doing these things. Today in my internet history it would also say how early can you take a pregnancy test. That's the trouble with working from home, no distractions. Thank goodness I have a separate computer to DH otherwise search history would be embarrassing. It was awkward enough last night when DH logged into my Amazon account to check the order of something and in history of orders it was basically hundreds of orders to things to pee on. Not quite the casual baby making wife I'd claimed to be...

My OPK - just now - is still really positive. That's almost 24 hours of surge now. Does that mean I'll ovulate tomorrow you think?

By the way, taking eve primrose (up to ovulation) definitely gives me a lot more ewcm. I also get some after I ovulate weirdly too.

Grumpy I paid in a moment of ttc craziness, it's under 'pregnancy monitor'. Wish I hadn't bothered!

I do think after a few months of temping and watching ewcm I did get to grips much better with my cycle which has helped ttc. The obsession is not useful though!

I do do this annoying but fascinating thing where I compare my charts. When I did get pregnant I was fairly good at the basic recording so it's handy to refer to.

I get a dpo 4 day temp dip each month which is strange. I get very tired that day too.

The ff forums are a nightmare; can't work out how to navigate at all.

@AnneLovesGilbert thanks, the thermometer looks good. Think I might get one for my next cycle. I do track ewcm - just got some (tmi) and I'm having a bit of cramping but still no solid face (I may or may not have held my pee for 6 hours and tried again )
@INeedABiggerBoat congrats on the BFP! Great news. Hopefully you're taking it easy now :)
@NoCatsHere haha I am also due date crazy, I spent an afternoon once typing in my Ovia predicted period dates into a due date calculator to see what they came up as! Lol

Well DH and I both left work early today to have another go at conceiving

@INeedABiggerBoat congratulations ♥️ hope it's a sticky one

@Ekphrasis really? Where do I see this on FF?

@AnneLovesGilbert yep I get soft open cervix and EWCM a few days before ov every cycle
