TTC after miscarriage Thread 21. JKS

Wellthisunexpected congrats! :)

hayleyfx I can see something vague on there too. Good luck with the FRER.

YellowDaffodils86 I would test again if AF doesn't start properly by tomorrow or Saturday...

Sorry to those who've had AF show up or BFNs.

@L1zz13 yeah despite close monitoring for 3 months I never had a second scan as my hcg was dropping steadily and had no infections so there was no consideration of retained products. Caught me off guard when it appeared but there was no mistaking what it was.

@L1zz13 funnily enough I didn't pass the sac until my period 4 months after my MC but I don't feel unwell apart from the cramps. Will see if it clears up, suppose it could just as easily be constipation so trying not to over think it.

Congratulations @Wellthisunexpected that looks like a faint positive to me. Here's hoping it's a completely uneventful healthy bean for you this time!

Sorry @RedRobin7 and @DaisyMay25 for your negatives and everyone else in limbo at the moment. The 2ww is definitely the worst part of the TTC emotional rollercoaster.

I'm ~7dpo at the moment and have been symptom spotting like crazy despite telling myself I'd be chill this time around 🙈
Been getting cramps, stabbing boob pain and on and off mild nausea all day but trying not to read too much into it as don't want to get my hopes up. Is quite early days though not that different than what I experienced compared to other 2 pregnancies 🤷‍♀️ sigh I just hate the waiting! 😔

@HidCat sooty for all you have going on that sounds horrible to deal with. Hope your mums ok.

@Wellthisunexpected totally get what you mean about "just relax". It's like you try and go through this shot & relax - I was relaxed before this hell started!

Thank you ladies. Having looked at the test again yeah there is definitely a shadow on it, so faint though. However it didn’t show up within the timeframe so I won’t trust it as IC’s have given me evap lines before... but it has given me some hope to cling onto. 🤞 I’m testing first thing tomorrow with a frer, so if that is actually a faint line and not an evap then it will show up on a frer I’m sure. I’m dreading it!! I think I’ll cry if it’s a bfn even though I’m pretty sure it will be 😭😬

@YellowDaffodils86 are you planning on retesting? It’s great that af has stayed away so far though... fingers crossed she continues to do so 🤞

@Wellthisunexpected congratulations!

@hayleyfx have you looked at the test again? I find that when they are the very early days of being positive they will dry showing the second line which isn’t visible when you first test.

@hayleyfx
@Boboelephant
I havnt tested since Tuesday morning.
Im 18dpo although ad i dont chart and didnt do any opks after my first pos, I wonder of i could possibly be 2dpo behind what i think.
Iv no idea, could be grasping at straws.
No AF just brown discharge/spotting for 3 days. Boobs are tender but not sore.
Im pretty certain im not pregnant

@HidCat, that does sound like a difficult time, particularly for you. Not going to help the stress levels!

I've had a lot of pelvic cramps throughout this cycle (C2 after Mc), has anyone else had that? It's got worse around FW but not been strong enough for painkillers.

This year has been a bloody nightmare. In work it's been one thing after another with the Managers (my MC, another's Father passed away, one signed off with stress and another's Step Mother diagnosed with cancer) and now my Mum has been diagnosed with a Pre-Cancerous tumour! Not turned yet but looking dodgy. Taking her for scans next week. Every couple of weeks there's another bit of bad news! Eeurgh, where's the Vodka?

@DaisyMay25 yes probably, I'll do the other frer Saturday then a digital Sunday.

I'm just so scared of it all going wrong again. Don't think I'll settle until I can feel it moving.

@Wellthisunexpected I'm 11dpo been having light cramps all day though which is annoying! Congrats on yours! You gonna be testing again in a couple of days?

@Daisymay25 I see what you mean fingers crossed for you. How do are you?

@hayleyfx are you sure that's negative? I can see something on the second photo.

@hayleyfx I see a shadow on the second one, could be the start of something?

I testing using a frer today, though I saw a line so took it apart to get a better look (I know it invalidates it) and looks like an evap/indent so will test again on Sunday

9dpo here, I caved and used an internet cheapie test this morning - bfn. I know that doesn’t mean I’m out but I’m pretty sure I am. I always get positives at 8/9dpo so I think there would be something there by now. I’ll post a photo of it anyway but yeah, definitely wasn’t feeling great this morning. Luckily it’s a lovely sunny day so that’s cheered me up a bit!!

@Wellthisisunexpected congrats!! Fingers crossed for a very sticky bean! 🤞
@YellowDaffodils86 ooh have you tested again? 🤞
@RedRobin7 sorry for the bfn 😔

@Wellthisunexpected hopefully it goes well for you. 🤞
@YellowDaffodils86 I can't believe you're still waiting! What are you now- 19dpo? Have you taken another test?

@Wellthisunexpected wow, congrats!
@SerenaOverjoyed drink away!
Any AF yet? Mine is still nowhere to be seen!

Thanks @Boboelephant. I don't quite believe it. Really only tested due to giving blood. Was convinced we hadn't timed it right this month. I'm now so bloody nervous! The next 12 weeks are going to be torturous.

@SerenaOverjoyed I'm ok thanks. I'm in the chill stage as af has finished and it's too early to start using opks so not too much to stress about. I'm sure the crazy hope usually then followed by the crazy disappointment will start next week. As for drinking I say go for it. You can't do any damage even if you are pregnant if you're not getting a bfp on a test yet. The baby doesn't grow a placenta until about 1-2 weeks after your hcg rises so you'll be fine.
@PassTheAfterEights hello! waves frantically let's hope this is our month. I'm cd7.
@Wellthisunexpected that is a line. Congratulations!!

There's definitely a line on this one.

@Wellthisunexpected Yes it is! We had sex outside of my FW so I wasn't expecting anything but was getting paranoid just in case. My body has changed since the MC so I'm still getting used to feeling different and not knowing exactly what's going on.

Tonight is my last drinking session and then back to being healthy and gym sessions before TTC in two weeks time. It'll be the first TTC cycle since the MC. So nervous!

Hey @boboelephant thanks for the heads up! How are you?

8dpo here, using Clearblue Digital OPK (freebies from the trial) for the first time. They're fun, started today with a blank circle. Love having a few more sticks to pee on..!

Will have a proper read through & catch up asap, hope everyone's well x

Red so hard isn't it! 'just relax' they say. So much easier said than done.

Before DS I had a hen weekend, so did a test before it which was negative. Got absolutely wasted on the hen do. I became suspicious when my hangover lasted 3 days, did another and that was DS!
