Thanks everyone, gave myself a few weeks away from reading up anything to do with pregnancy. Just got back from a weeks holiday today and am back to it now!
I always ovulate day 15/16, however temp only peaked for ovulation while away on cycle day 23.
While we have not been actively trying since, we did have sex often whilst on holiday which turns out would have been my fertile period.
Now I suppose I just need to wait and see if AF will still be due on cycle day 28/29 as usual (which I think is going to be too short a literal phase for anything to stick) or if AF also will be due later than usual Hmm
Anyone else had a chemical and experienced the same afterwards?

How is everyone else doing? Hope those who got BFPs are still all ok, anyone else in their 2WW?

Xx

@nicolle I'm so sorry to hear that

Just to give you a bit of hope, last month I miscarried at 6 weeks (same thing, started bleeding despite positive hpts). I had a scan at epu who confirmed that the baby had stopped developing and I bled for 6 days.
2 weeks after I used ovulation sticks and I caught again. I miscarried 7 weeks ago today and I am currently 5 weeks and 1 day pregnant.
I'm very on edge and I actually cry a lot as I am so so scared about going through it again with this one.
But what I would say is if you feel ready, maybe trying straight away in September could help you catch as they do say you're more fertile in the month straight after.

I literally felt like I'd been torn in 2 when it happened to me. I cried till I had no tears left and didn't think anything would take the pain away. It does get easier, within a week I was feeling more positive. It doesn't matter how early you were, that was your baby.

Thinking of you xx

Thanks for your concerns. Still bleeding today, my BBT dropped back to what is was pre ovulation this morning and I just didn't 'feel' the same. Did a digital test this afternoon that came back not pregnant.

Dr advised just to leave it to bleed out naturally but to let them know if it lasts much longer/gets heavier/I get pain.

Absolutely gutted x

Opensesame1 · 25/08/2017 18:04

I hope everything is ok @Nicolle468 ... fingers all crossed for u! Xx

Chooklass · 25/08/2017 17:36

@Nicolle468 how are you today? X

Chooklass · 24/08/2017 22:03

Oh @Nicolle, I hope you are ok? What a worry for you. X

Nicolle468 · 24/08/2017 21:13

So after 3 BFP's just over a week ago I've had bleeding and cramps just like a period since yesterday afternoon. Would be 4 weeks and 3 days today if everything is still ok.

So worried now Sad x

Opensesame1 · 24/08/2017 20:24

@grumpy it's like a very tight pinch that is constantly there all day for me.. like a painful nip that is more pronounced when I stretch or move suddenly! It is only ever on one side each month and always lined up with my opks so I have stopped using them purely because the pain is so distinctive!

ladybirdno1 · 24/08/2017 20:15

*lass Smile

ladybirdno1 · 24/08/2017 20:14

Thanks Chooklash it's so annoying!

Chooklass · 24/08/2017 19:52

@Uppity and @Ladybird - hope you either get AFs or BFPs soon to put you out of your angst! X

ladybirdno1 · 24/08/2017 18:16

Still no AF, will be week late on Saturday. Took a test a 3rd test still negative

UppityStitch · 24/08/2017 17:57

Still waiting for AF damn you Pregnacare! As much as I want it to turn up, I'd be happy if would do one until after the bank holiday. Might do one more pointless pregnancy test as I'm heading into cycle day 31 which is unheard of for me.

TheGrumpySquirrel · 24/08/2017 15:54

@Opensesame1 can you describe the pain/location of the pain when you ovulate? I've been trying to determine if I can feel it but not certain! I'm due to ovulate on Monday 28th, or in the following few days.

murree · 24/08/2017 15:12

AF finally finished so now to start DTD when possible. Due to ov 30th/31st.
Hello *@Opensesame1 xx

Betsyboo87 · 24/08/2017 15:10

@Chooklass that's rubbish but it's good you're into a fresh cycle now. I know what you mean about disappointment and relief. Hopefully this thread is as lucky in Sept as it has been in August.

Chooklass · 24/08/2017 06:07

AF arrived in the night! Usual mix of disappointment and relief. CD1 ttc cycle 4 here we go! Due to ov 3rd Sept.

Welcome @Opensesame1 x

Opensesame1 · 23/08/2017 18:30

Thanks @uppity! My first 4 million tries were all taken and I am fairly new to this! 😂😂

UppityStitch · 23/08/2017 17:51

Welcome aboard @Opensesame1. I love the irony of your username Grin

Opensesame1 · 23/08/2017 17:12

Hi guys.. hoping to jump on for September testing.. just beginning my 2ww as I have ovulated early this month. I haven't been using opks this past few months as I get very distinctive pain for approx 12 hours on whichever side I Ov from. Got this on Monday which would have been cycle day 11/12. Will b due to test around 6th September.. stats below if anyone is interested..

Age 30
Ttc #2 (#3 for dp)
Conceived naturally after 15 months trying first time around..
Dd is now 3

UppityStitch · 23/08/2017 17:06

@Chooklass

A Persona machine is exactly the same as the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor same machine, different packaging but is programmed the opposite way to work as contraception. I used it for contraception at first but then I found out it can be used as a fertility monitor if you use it in reverse (have sex when it tell you not to). I used it to conceive DS and it worked first time. The sticks you wee on are pretty much OPKs I guess.

Chooklass · 23/08/2017 16:08

Oh, and I just finished my box of pregnacare and got Boots own version so will see how that goes. Might just switch to plain folic + vit D after that.

Chooklass · 23/08/2017 16:06

Same here @UppityStitch! AF has felt so imminent I've been wearing pads last two days!! So fed up.

What is a persona machine?

UppityStitch · 23/08/2017 15:16

Hi Everyone, I'm still here waiting for AF which should have arrived yesterday or today like clockwork. I started taking Pregnacare on 24th July so I'm blaming that. I've had a few cramps but nothing for the past few days. I just wish it would hurry up and turn up so I know where I stand. I've resurrected my old Persona machine so hopefully that can help next cycle/on the next thread.
