Hi all, so I’m in first week of my cycle , CD 4 to be exact, third cycle TTC #2! Anyone else similar and would like some support ? I don’t have anyone to talk about this with RL!

So sorry to hear that Sad

mummyjl15 · 14/02/2018 20:02

Turns out it was definitely another miscarriage :(
Absolutely gutted! Although on the plus side, now I’ve had 3 in a row the NHS will look into it and I’ve been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. Hopefully I will get a BFP soon 🤞🏻

running3 · 14/02/2018 06:51

Oh no Sad I was so excited to see the first part of your post. If it is a miscarriage I'm so so sorry. Good luck with the doctor today and I hope you are able to get some answers very soon Flowers take it easy today x

mummyjl15 · 14/02/2018 05:15

Hi @running3 well I was 5 days late and finally had a faint BFP yesterday but I’ve woken up this morning with cramps and bleeding so if that was a positive it may be another miscarriage :( going to the doctors today to get checked out as I’ve got all the usual early pregnancy symptoms and it’s so unlike me to be this late!
On the plus side, if this is another miscarriage the NHS will now look into why I keep having them.

running3 · 13/02/2018 20:39

Any news mummjl15?

mummyjl15 · 11/02/2018 11:39

Thanks @justanotherday4 I got another BFN today but still no sign of AF.
I hate this waiting game! I’ve been getting some mild cramps/twinges and waves of nausea on and off for a few days now so that’s a good sign. Since I ovulated 10 days later than what the average is for a 28 day cycle it might just be I don’t get a BFP for another few days yet. Going to test again Tuesday/Weds if AF still hasn’t arrived and hope for a BFP!!
I’ve already been told to get an early scan at 6 weeks when I’m next pregnant so just want to get to that point so I can relax!

justanotherday4 · 11/02/2018 08:59

All the best for testing this morning mummjl!

mummyjl15 · 10/02/2018 18:12

I didn’t test again today but still no AF (yay!!) testing in the morning so here’s hoping for a BFP!!! 🤞🏻

running3 · 10/02/2018 09:04

Yay huge congratulations justanotherday!!
And fingers crossed for you mummyjl. Are you going to test again today?

mummyjl15 · 09/02/2018 17:37

Ah that’s great news @justanotherday4 congratulations!! I’m really hoping this is my month! Fingers crossed I have a healthy pregnancy soon! I don’t think I could cope with a third miscarriage 😬

justanotherday4 · 09/02/2018 16:38

Hi mummyj, I got a bfp on Tuesday, can’t honestly believe it. I had positive ov tests on day 18 and 19 and got bfp 13 days later which was first time I tested.

OP posts:
mummyjl15 · 09/02/2018 15:57

Are there anymore positives from any of you ladies yet?
I’m a day late for my period and took a test foray but got a BFN. I’ve been getting all sorts of twinges in my stomach for a few days (just like my other 3 pregnancies). Hoping for a BFP soon! I didn’t ovulate until day 21 though so maybe I’ll get a late BFP??

mummyjl15 · 28/01/2018 10:55

Haha! Love your Valentine’s idea @SophieStripe
Another negative OPK today (day 18). Lots of cm though so it’s got to be any day now... fingers crossed!!

running3 · 28/01/2018 10:36

Good luck both of you!
I think I had a month where I ovulated really late mummyjl15 so fingers crossed you've got a smiley face soon.
Love the Valentines Day idea SophieStripe!!

SophieStripe · 27/01/2018 10:00

Hoping this is my month too! First AF, flow, length timing etc that has felt normal since MC in Nov. Waiting for Ov now...I'm on CD11 and predicted to come anytime from tomorrow to CD18! I'm taking preg test on Valentine's Day. Really want to give my husband a nice gift! (Hmmm a nice gift of a stick I've peed on Grin)

mummyjl15 · 27/01/2018 08:16

Congratulations on your BFP @running3 !
I’m on cycle day 17 today and STILL getting negative OPK. So frustrating! Showing symptoms of ovulating soon and we’ve been DTD every couple of days but it seems awfully late to ovulate after 17 days? Hopefully tomorrow I’ll see that flashing smiley!

running3 · 27/01/2018 08:04

How's everyone getting on? I've just had a bfp! Exciting but at the same time it's hard to be excited because of my previous mc. Will believe it if and when I see a baby!! Fingers crossed for all those waiting the 2ww x

mummyjl15 · 23/01/2018 11:58

@justanotherday4 I know what you mean! I’m completely obsessed with it now. This is the first month I’ve used them and if I don’t get a BFP this month I won’t bother with OPK next month and just go with the flow. Here’s hoping for positives all round this month!

justanotherday4 · 23/01/2018 08:24

@mummyjl15 I am feeling impatient this month as well... I only just got a positive opk yesterday on CD 18. I've decided I'm not going to do opks again because I've become so obsessive! If we don't get a BFP this month then will be stopping with ttc for a while because the dates just wouldn't be right but I'm ok with that if it's the case. I don't think you can go wrong with DTD every other day. Hard work though lol. Fingers crossed!

mummyjl15 · 23/01/2018 07:37

I’m getting so impatient this month! I’ve been using my CB digital OPK with my first urine of the day since day 6 (I usually ovulate around day 11/12 but since I had a miscarriage I tested earlier as my cycle is all over the place). I’m on day 12 today and it’s still negative! There’s a very very faint second line starting to appear but I’m obviously going to ovulate late this cycle. We’ve been DTD every other day just in case.
I suppose it will mean my 2ww is more like a 1ww though haha! Anyone else had any positives?

justanotherday4 · 21/01/2018 08:31

Running the waiting is awful isn’t it. Vivid dreams and being extra thirsty were my only symptoms with my ds the whole time! Hopefully this will be your month!

OP posts:
running3 · 20/01/2018 21:18

Hi everyone, sorry for those who have had previous losses, and fingers crossed going forward! I sadly miscarried my first pregnancy in early December, just started ttc again and now halfway through the 2ww (I think- cycle is probably not so straight forward at the moment!)
I don't think this will be the month, but it's amazing how you can start to convince yourself that maybe it will be- too much symptom spotting!! 3 nights of vivid dreams but that's about it.
All we can do is wait Arghhh!

mummyjl15 · 20/01/2018 20:55

@Brownbear84 I think it’s more the multiple tests required in some cases that all adds up. I’ve spent close to £300 in the last 7 months on pregnancy tests and OPK. That’s mainly due to 2 miscarriages though as I had to keep testing regularly until I got a BFN

Brownbear84 · 20/01/2018 19:26

It really amazes me how people say how expensive a pregnancy test it but yet are trying for a child??? Ironic!!!!

Celebelly · 20/01/2018 09:19

Clearblue ones are mega pricey. I use IC so I can pee on them obsessively/multiple times in a day, and then if I get a result that looks close to positive, I use a Clearblue one to verify.
