TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

ibb.co/dMjuwT

There's mine (not allowed to upload more...)

@hayleyfx I see the line on the frer, and a shadow on ic. I'm in the exact same situation as you! My ic this morning looks like a possible indent/evap again but it was within the time frame so who knows!

I’m really not sure about my tests today... I did an internet cheapie and a frer. I can see a faint line on the frer in person but it’s so incredibly faint that I don’t feel too confident about it! & I think there’s something on the cheapie too. I’ll post the pics and see what you all think. Going to see if they darken in a couple hours! Not feeling hopeful still, they’re either negative and I’m imagining things or they’re too faint I think 🤦‍♀️🙄 but still fingers crossed!

@L1zz13 oh I’m sorry last night was so scary. I hope you’re okay hun!

@penguingirl welcome to this lovely group and so sorry for your losses. It is a fitting name as we are all about the penguin huddles here! 🐧🐧 Fingers crossed for a bfp tomorrow and your feckin miracle! 🤣
@Martydog glad you're having a good holiday and hope you are relaxing and spoiling yourself!
@L1zz13 oh no! I hope you got some answers and they were able to do something for your pain.

Anyone else get so bored during the end of af and the start of fw? Kinda nice not to be obsessing but I kinda obsess about having nothing to do!!

@penguingirl and @Jessabean you don't need to abstain completely before 6weeks of pregnancy, just don't get wasted lol (placenta hasn't formed yet apparently). Your personal choice! As @Wellthisunexpected said a few days ago - "drink til it's pink" lol 🍾

@Martydog so sorry to see you back here, I hope you're managing to have a good holiday despite everything.

@L1zz13 hope you're ok and the docs are taking good care of you.

@L1zz13 I hope your ok & things settle down for you soon.

Welcome Penguin I'm sorry to hear about your miscarriage- fingers crossed it is implantation bleeding for you- I conceived just over 2 weeks after miscarriage with my least so it is certainly possible!
I'm also in the same dilemma with a wedding around time AF would be due next week.

RedRobin sorry about AF. Keeping everything crossed for you next cycle hopefully the lack of work will be good for conceiving!

Oh no L1zz1e, hope you're ok x

Oh @L1zz13 keep us posted love. Hope you're alright xx

Welcome Penguin fingers crossed it is implantation bleeding,, 48 hours and you'll know. I ovulated 15 days after I started bleeding from my miscarriage, so it's certainly possible.

and hello Martydog hopefully you can enjoy yourself on holiday and relax a little. Sorry to hear about the miscarriage.

penguingirl welcome. Will keep my fingers crossed for you. I have endometriosis too, so I know what worries that brings with TTC. Best of luck to you, and sorry for your losses.

Thanks so much @HidCat, yes, I saw the penguins in the first post and thought 'oooh, a supportive lady penguin huddle to join'! I am actually going to a wedding on Saturday evening so I figured I would test before we go, although even if it's a bfn I'll still abstain from the free bar (argggg!) and test again on Sunday!!

Oh @Martydog I wish you all the luck in the world for a bfp very soon

@YellowDaffodils86 and anyone else who may need them, frer are currently buy one get one half price in boots.

Just marking my place. I'm on holiday at the moment trying to get over our 2nd miscarriage. Hopefully we will come back with an extra present!

Thanks ladies, managing to stay positive about everything so far! Now in the TWW so fingers crossed eh!

@penguingirl welcome and I'm so sorry. I hope you have a swift recovery and start to feel more yourself soon. Maybe you have caught the fertility cape! I'm loving the name - we've often referred to this thread as a group of penguins so it's perfect! When do you think you might test?

Thanks @DaisyMay25 I had to be treated at the epau initially, then I was asked to do a home test 2 weeks after they did the last blood test, which was 16 days after the mc. That one came up negative. Since we started ttc (beginning of 2017) my cycles have been pretty regular, 28 days, altho I had a couple of shorter ones just before the bfp this time (which alongside some other symptoms made me assume I was peri-menopausal as I'm 43 and had never had anything shorter than 28 days in all my time menstruating, longer yes but never shorter, thanks endometriosis!) So in theory I am due af around the 29th. Will certainly be manically testing over the weekend!! Although between my age, endometriosis, very sporadic jks-ing this month, probably being in peri-menopause etc it'll be a feckin miracle if I get a bfp!!!

@penguingirl hi, sorry you find yourself here and sorry for the mc, especially the date it was on. Just wondering if you managed to get a negative pregnancy test after it? Would you know when AF is due? You could always take a test at the weekend to check?

Hi all, I hope it is ok for me to join so far in to the thread. I miscarried for the 2nd time on May 1st (a year to the day since my 1st miscarriage) and have barely JKS'd since as took over a week to stop bleeding then have been too down (along with some other non-relevant/boring health issues that prevented me wanting to.) However, today I felt a bit nauseous before dinner and had a little bit of spotting, and on checking my app discovered I am day 10 post ovulation which google tells me is prime implantation bleeding time :-/ I'm trying so hard not to get me hopes up but yeah! I have no-one to talk to in 'real life' about this as my bf has her own woes around this subject and all my other friends are happily 'child-free' (hate that expression!).... partner is great but I don't want to keep harping on about all this pregnancy stuff when there is only so much he can say/understand. Would love to be part of a group where I can share some of this stuff with people who've been there/are going through similar.

@SerenaOverjoyed I'm bleeding now so I'm definitely out 😔 I'm also getting very drunk with the OH as a result! Two weeks to go and then we can try again. Really hope next month is successful as I have to travel every month with work but I get June, July and Aug off due to the summer period so it would be a good time to get pregnant and not have to tell work early like I had to before. I literally told them at 11 weeks and then a week later found out about my MMC so it was hard!

@DaisyMay25 @Wellthisunexpected FX for the next few days and more bfps, and that they are super sticky!

@HidCat sorry things have been so rubbish for you.
I will help you find the vodka!

@SerenaOverjoyed nope no AF, feeling frustrated.
How many dpo are you now?
I know its hard going back in forth, you cant thinking oh what if???
The bfn on a frer on Tuesday has put me off testing, i just dont feel a bfp will happen. Although i did toy with the idea of going boots after work to get some more frer, but talked myself out of it.

@Boboelephant
Thanks, ohh maybe try that then! See if she appears!

Thank you all ladies! I’m so nervous to test again incase it’s a bfn!

@YellowDaffodils86 totally know what you mean. Sometimes a bfn is just worse than af arriving so I understand. I’m so scared of seeing another bfn too. I hope you’re out of limbo soon!

@hayleyfx and @DaisyMay25 ill keep my fingers crossed that those little shadows become nice strong lines!
@HidCat so sorry you're having a tough year and so sorry to hear about your mum. Hope she is ok!!
@YellowDaffodils86 I'm so frustrated for you. I hope you get an answer soon! Btw I agree with the JKS for AF. If mine is late, that always brings it on the next morning!
@L1zz13 hopefully this af will clear it all out but good idea with the scan.

RedRobinThanks for being my voice of reason! You're not out yet though x

Boboelephant Enjoy your week off the rollrcoaster!! I know rationally there's no chance I'd hurt the phantom baby, but I'm just afraid of blaming myself again. Oh well - I need some fun so I'll just have to get over it!!

Wellthisisunexpected Blimey, congratulations!! I hope you find a way over the next few days and weeks to park the anxiety and enjoy your pregnancy

HidCat what an unrelenting year. I hope your mum is coping well, that sounds stressful. This should mean you are done with tragedy and on to the good stuff now.

DaisyMay I'm terrible with line spotting but good luck tomorrow, fx

YellowDaffodils86 AF is still AWOL, and I still have a bfn. Oddly feeling more deluded hopeful today. Maybe Monday's spotting was implantation bleed? Maybe I'm totally kidding myself? Who knows. How are you? Still no AF? I'm so in awe of the poas restraint.

haleyfx I think I see it and I'm awful with lines. Fx

@hayleyfx im not sue on retesting, i dont want to another bfn to look at.
Congrats to you though. Maybe give it a couple of days before testing again (I know super hard, am i crazy!) might just save a false bfn that makes you disappointed.

@L1zz13 i last tested Tuesday, not again since then.
Boom! AF?
Thats a new one JKS for AF!!

@KnitKitty iv said to myself maybe Saturday if she hasnt showed, but i just dont think it will be positive. And if it is, i wont feel excited, i will worry that there is something wrong because it didnt show for so long.
Why do our bodies like to trick us 🤔
