TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

@Boboelephant thanks I needed that. I've been so worried about my job and how they've treated me after the miscarriage (actually before too but that's a long story) that I've assumed it's OK to just battle on. Off to the GPs tomorrow (though probably after work...!) I'm really hoping this is your month!! I'm intending to test again tomorrow (maybe will go to the docs sooner on the off chance I am pregnant...)....

@KeefBurtain ah that makes it hard then. Is it possible that you ovulated overnight and this morning was the end of the surge?

@YellowDaffodils86 I feel the same. I really don't want to test early as I hate the bfns so much. And it messes with my head when I keep saying 'oh it was just too early' BUT I also really want to test on Friday! I think if my temp stays up I'll test and if not I won't until af is late.

@boboelephant no ewcm, no. I normally get a lot but since having my dc last year I’ve not been getting any. Didn’t have any when I fell pregnant in February either

@KeefBurtain have you had any cm?

@BabynameEdie glad all is going well.

@RedRobin7 FRER are the best ones, expensive but good.
Iv no intention of testing before Wednesday, i fly on the Thursday. Will see how i go, all depends if old AF shows.
I just dont want to test early, i hate the bfns and the "oh maybe one more day" however the urge to test is always hard to resist!!

@zarala I was too!!! I only know it now due to all my obsessive googling! Thankyou, I really hope so. Not sure I can take another disappointment. Hope you get your ovulation soon!

Thanks @Boboelephant
I really am so amateur at this!
I'll do another OPK tonight and see what that looks like.
I'm really hoping this is your month! That chart looks textbook positive- Fx your temps stay up like that!!! 🙌🏽

@mrsgs76 still nothing! I got and almost positive at 11am this morning but it was back to blank at 5pm.

I’ve either got a dodgy batch or my hormones are playing games 😂

@Murderino haha! Let's hope it's our month hey 🤞
@zarala as usual I agree with my opk guru buddy @DaisyMay25. That's not quite positive but very close. I would expect that to be positive tonight so ovulation probably tomorrow. You should then get a temp rise Wed to confirm this. Although ff will only confirm after 3 days of higher temps than the previous 6.
@Coffeist welcome and so sorry for your losses.
@DaisyMay25 and @YellowDaffodils86 thanks lovelies! Fingers crossed for all of us this month!!!
@hayleyfx thanks hun!
@rdm10 be as angry as you like. Hope they are implantation cramps!!
@Pampl3m0usse that sounds awful! Please go to your GP. Neither pregnancy or AF should cause so much pain. Also hope everything at work is sorted out soon. That all sounds very unfair.
@MrsGS76 thankyou! Fx for you too. Great job on your week of jks! Especially with 3 kids- wow!! Haha my DH also found gel a bit of a passion killer!! Hopefully we catch this month and won't have to use it again!
@Pancakes7 thankyou! Glad you are feeling better too. I've not had one but I hear they are painful.
@BabynameEdie thankyou! Yeah this is only my third month temping so don't know what a good one would look like for me to get a bfp. First one was really rocky up and down every day and last month spiked once and then stayed the same temp for 6 days. I had that big drop at 7dpo but wasn't implantation dip as I was hoping. Then it just went down. This is the first month where it has steadily climbed with a slow rise. I hope it's not just the progesterone cream! So glad your early scan was good!! Hope I'll be getting one soon too!!!

@KeefBurtain did you manage t get a positive OPK over the weekend? I got my static smiley face on sat morning and have manage lots of baby dancing over the past week! Fx for you xx

@Pancakes7 I'm planing on testing on the 25th which is when AF will be due, if I start to get symptoms before like sore boobs, I'll test before. Fx for you xx

@Boboelephant ace looking chart! Looks quite different to previous ones too?
Can't wait for Friday for you, I bet you're wishing the days away. Am doing well thanks, I had an early scan last week which was all positive news but still early days so trying to take it easy and not get hopes up too much!

@rdm10 I agree with the others, it could be first signs of pregnancy so fingers crossed for you! Totally understand why you're feeling negative and angry though. Let us know how you are doing.

@YellowDaffodils86 Sorry saw your post the other day but due to flights and jet lag didn't get around to replying. That's cool we are due to test around the same time. I'm not sure I could wait until the start of the holiday - you have willpower! I would test earlier than next Tuesday but I don't want to get obsessed. I also really doubt we were successful this month. Just about to buy some FRER. I usually use CB but trying to do things differently this time. Sounds crazy but don't want to associate dates and brands with the MC!

Sorry to those of you having a bad day and not feeling great. 🐧 Hope tomorrow is a better day! Good luck to those due to test! 🤞

Thanks @MrsGS76 @Zarala and @HidCat
I already feel better than this morning. Been drinking lots of water. Hoping it'll pass quickly. I'm away up north with work wed-fri. So hoping it goes, the car journey won't be fun if I constantly need the loo!

Cm still there when I wipe but reduced a bit. So hoping we caught my fertile time. So I'm joining the tww. Although I haven't had an af since mmc just over 2 weeks ago. Also only had one af since stopping pill before bfp.

@Boboelephant Fx for you! Not long till Friday now. Although it must feel like an eternity to you.

@MrsGS76 I've not tried the fertility gel. My DH would probably be the same. If it'sto regimented he doesn't like it. So I generally don't tell him that I think I'm ovulating full after. Less less pressure. Fx for you. When can you test?

@Murderino no problem. Surprising what you can learn from you tube. I learnt to crochet from there too.
I haven't used mine for a while. I started with a basic one and treated myself to a super duper one at the start of the year.

@zarala its true, you have to have some fun, otherwise it can get too much. You have to laugh at the silly things we do,such as dropping your urine sample in your lap-one of my finest moments😂

@rdm10 It might not be AF, cramps can be IB or signs of bfp, not to get hopes up but all is not lost!

But rant away, we all know the rage feeling!

@Murderino fx for you, only a few days left till you can test , sending you virtual hugs xx
@Laney79 , my libido has also gone through the roof, just had a week of JKS (even managed a morning session which I would not normally be into!) fx for your ovulation , if I was you I'd just JKS this evening anyway... xx
@TedLife , I'm as anxious as you re another pregnancy as I've only had one MC! Although my dr said I've had three successful pregnancies so no increase in having another MC , fx for you xx @Boboelephant thanks for advice re FRER! Never used that one before, normally just used clearblue. Fx for you this month x
@Pancakes7 hope you don't have a UTI! I was feeling a bit sensitive after a few days of JKS using the fertility gel - which we then stopped using a DH said it was a passion killer! Fx for you xx
@HidCat Sends my hugs to your DS , that scarlet fever seems t be making its rounds at our school! XX
@zarala I am using the digital OPK , originally for three days, last Sun, Mon & Tues mornings. I got the clear circle with no face so negative.
I then the tested on the third day again (Tuesday) in the evening at 2130hrs, not sure why I decided to retest, but it was a flashy smiley face.
For the next three mornings (Wed, Thurs & Fri) , it was a flashy smiley face, then on the forth morning (Saturday) it was the static smiley face and it remained on for 48hours , it was still there Sunday morning but this morning it is blank. x so I'm sure if you were using the test right, it may be the same. X hope that helps. Fx for you xx
@Coffeist so sorry for your losses x
@YellowDaffodils86 fx for you, it will be a lovely holiday if you get that BFP!! Xx
@DaisyMay25 , I bet you are like me this week, Cheshire Cat smile waiting to test, although every day seems like an eternity. I've done everything possible this last week, so glad to have a relaxing week ahead not bugging DH !! X
@rdm10 you are bound to feel fed up and angry, it's not fair!! Hope you're just having the start of pregnancy buggies snd not AF niggles!! X
@Cakelaur what do you use the progesterone for! Although I'm glad to hear it's working for you x I'm sending my DH out for some pineapple as I've just run out, I'm 1dpo so definitely need it, although DH doesn't understand? But I'm sure most DH's didn't not understand all the weird and wonderful things we do to conceive! Fx for you x

To all the others TTC either in TWW or JKS good luck to you all and hang in , don't give up , sending you all virtual hugs xxx

@KnitKitty I think I have a uti as I've been in agony all day. either that or something seriously wrong. had my head scowling at me for leaving on time today when others were staying late. I cried on my way in I was in so much pain. and she's been threatening redundancy again because I refused to take a pay cut. all in all crazy but no sign of af and due tomorrow haven't tested again as can't bear the disappointment x

@rdm10 be as angry as you want! Hopefully it's implantation cramps though! 🤞🏻🤞🏻

Just quickly jumping on to shout and scream. Af pains already, I’m only 10dpo (unless I have ov day wrong but I’m still only cd24 which is 4 days earlier than ever before) I hate this whole process, I just want a baby!

Sorry to be me, me, me. I’ll read back over all the posts once I’ve calmed down (feeling very angry at the world and fed up right now 😤😩)

@zarala that's a pretty good plan! JKS! I'm the same though I usually ovulated two days after EWCM which is bizarre! Hopefully you get a positive test later then can join us in the tww!

@YellowDaffodils86 haha ! It is funny to me too! Haha I'm just starting this journey so really just having a bit of fun with it - despite the genuine confusion haha
@DaisyMay25 thanks! I will test again later tonight and then tomorrow morning I'll use my last digital one - hopefully then it will be static! Never realised I ovulate this late after ewcm!
Also today I have definite ovulation cramps- so I think you're right that it's imminent !
Gonna JKS for the next 2-3 nights and fx
Just hope the medication dr S has prescribed me doesn't interfere too much with everything!

@Boboelephant not long until you can test!! I’m so excited for you haha 🤞

@YellowDaffodils86 fingers crossed for you too! Hope the rest of the TWW doesn’t drag too much 😬

To everyone in fw - JKS! 😉 & to all in the TWW, I’m feeling so hopeful for all of you. Fingers crossed there are lots of bfp’s this month. You all deserve your BFP!

Welcome @coffeist really sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you find the thread as useful as I have.

@HidCat @Boboelephant and @zarala thanks for your replies. Hope you guys are right and it makes sense as @HidCat said that those who have suffered more are more open to talking about it. Just another thing I'm worrying about and I really need to get out of that frame of mind.

@Coffeist welcome to the huddle, sorry you find yourself here but you're in good company.
