TTC after pregnancy loss - Thread 18: Christmas cake for Christmas babies

Unicorns, 25 weeks already! Wow where has that gone???! Did she find out what she's having do u know? Glad it's all going well for her :)

Thanks guys! I'm gonna test again tomoz because apparently at 4 days before your missed period frer has a 99% success rate! I'm due AF on Sat! Uterus does not feel heavy anymore, possibly because my belly is full of food!

@hayleyfx I know!! I have sworn to myself I’m not testing till 12dpo and will only test earlier if I have strong signs. I only have one FRER left so don’t want to use it too early. If it’s a BFN that’s me back off to the shops to stock up on everything again 😩 how the hell are we going to distract ourselves for another 12 days!!! (Also I really want the next couple of days to hurry up so I can actually confirm ovulation yesterday)

@weasledee She's doing okay (active on another thread) :) Around I want to say 25 weeks when she posted sometime last week about a mw appointment ^^

Hopefully that's what you were asking -__-

@peachesarenom it only takes one so fingers crossed that one time did the trick! 🤞🏼
@Claire138 I’m 1dpo today too! The next two weeks are going to drag 🙄
I said to my SO I wouldn’t test until my period was due or actually late this month after what happened last month but now I’m like... 7dpo isn’t too early is it? 🤦‍♀️😂 I need to have more self control haha!

Fingers crossed @peachesarenom that you timed that one perfectly! 🤞
@cakelaur I think the best thing is probably the ‘relaxed’ part. Everyone says it but just so hard to do it!

Bit random but has anyone heard how @flatwhite32 is doing?

Hi Claire138, I only got to BD once in my fertile week due to hubby being away for work. So odds are low. Defo feel a bit of heaviness in the uterus department but no pulling like my last bfp.
9 dpo at the mo.

@Boboelephant so not many symptoms. I was doing some gardening on Saturday and kept going dizzy when I stood up. I have had extreme back pain (been seeing a chiropractor for months) and she said I had really loose pelvis yesterday haha. Boob twinges and round ligament pain, but I've had these on and off since the mmc. But if a sniffle but nothing major. All could be put down to nothing. Had a bit of pink cm on 7dpo and 12dpo but so tiny.
Then last night I thought AF was finally on her way. I woke up to my temp going back up. I tested in cbfm it said not pregnant I took the test out and saw two lines, and thought hmmm.. lemme just crack open an frer. So I did. And bam!! Two lines!!

Hmmm @boboelepehant it’s making me nervous that I have had such a lack of cramps this month. I guess there isn’t much I can do but pray my temp keeps high 🤞
@peachesarenom how many dpo are you now? Have you tested today?

My uterus feels heavy!

Right @Cakelaur pineapple and wine tonight!! 😀🍷🍍

Haha @weasledee...doing a cake! 🤣🤣
@Cakelaur I want a list of symptoms so far please!! Still hanging out hope you'll be sending me a cake too!! I changed two of my holiday temps from 36.4 to 36.1 which had been pretty steady before going as I figured the weather may have made a diff, and now ff has finally confirmed ovulation.
@Claire138 now you mention it I think for me i have got more pain but it has helped me feel ovulation. I never did before and the last two months I've gotten quite clear stomach cramps- almost like a side stitch and some niggles for the few hours before. I hope I'm right because I clearly felt it on left side this month and that's my tube side!

So here's the list:
Marathon cd8-cd15 (ovulated cd14)
Pineapple core 1dpo-5dpo
Progesterone cream 3dpo-11dpo (think I'm gonna start back up again)
Pre seed (it was actually fertility check gel from boots used every time)
Literally legs in the air after we DTD
Happiness was a big factor (the puppy gave me this)
Relaxed a little (I knew we had done everything possible so I could relax a little)
Drink wine throughout the entire TWW 🙈 including a bottle last night!! Hahaha

OMG @cakelaur - what amazing news! Congratulations - try not to worry too much I’m sure it’ll be a sticky bean!

I’m slightly fearful about replicating your marathon month! What else did you do? I’ve been got a TWW to get organised in case I’ve not been lucky this month x

@cakelaur eeeeee that's amazing news, so happy for you!

Sounds a good deal @cakelaur . Defo got to keep us updated!
I think I ovulated yesterday as have a spike in temp today. Will have to see how the next couple of days bode but @boboelephant have you found your ovulation pain to be less/more/same since acupuncture? Last ovulation it was bloody sore (more than usual) and this month very very dull twinges, which is really odd for me as I can usually clearly feel ovulation. I’m wondering if acupuncture is having anything to do with the changes. I’m thinking either bad...like shit have I actually ovulated or good that blood flow has increased and it’s all good. Just making me anxious. Hate when there’s a change.

Deal

Totally deal!!! I'm not going anywhere! And if this baby shows up at Christmas I'll be sending Christmas cake to all of you!!

Keep us updated and don't disappear from the thread cake, that's the deal!!

Thanks ladies. I'm utterly terrified! As you can all imagine! I scared to get excited! I defo won't breathe until 8week scan and I see a heartbeat.

I'll of course be peeing on different sticks every day. IC was a mega squinter when frer was defo there. I'm just so shocked. At the weekend I'm gonna do a cb digital weeks indicator.

Cake don't apologise at all!! Thrilled for you! I've already told my OH that next month we're "doing a cake" and he better prepare himself for the marathon!!

Yes @Cakelaur
I had a feeling this may happen! So happy for you!!!! Really hoping it all works out well.
As someone who isn't as prolific as you guys in the POAS game - I would strongly recommend getting the clear blue tests and seeing what they say.
In all my pregnancies I have had negative pregnancy tests even up until 17dpo and only got positives with the clear blue- the ones that say how far along you are - so go POAS!

Sorry for the bfn’s but you’re not out until af shows! @weasledee @Patienceofatoddler
@Cakelaur omg! Congrats, I’m delighted for you! everything crossed for you that the line gets nice & dark! 🤞🏼

@cakelaur so made up for you hopefully get darker over the coming days!
@boboelephant thanks for asking, I've had a few period style cramps yesterday & fuller sore boobs ( but the boobs is normal now anyway) had metallic taste twice yesterday! But not sure if it was from something I had eaten? Will be looking out for it again! Also woke up today with lower back ache. 🤞10dpo today. X
