TTC After Pregnancy Loss Thread 22.

@Boboelephant Thanks. I just took another and got a pale line again. Very pale though. Lots of cm just now very stretchy. Dh has a headache ☹ so will try tomorrow. Hopefully means I'll ovulate in a couple of days and will jks.

@yukka - yes I was a December one too. the baby would have been due on the first anniversary of my mum's suicide. if I get pregnant this month (highly unlikely) baby would be due on her birthday..... bizarre... anyway hopefully we will pop up on an antenatal board together very soon!!

@Pearcrumble. I hAve a may birthday and found out I'd lost the baby on my birthday.... it truly sucks doesn't it!!! I'm going to keep my fingers crossed extra hard for you this month xxx

Currently 10dpo, not had any symptoms at all this month and BFN this morning but last time only got a very light bfp on 12dpo so still a bit early.

So sorry to new and old names on here, hopefully some lovely bfp's this time.

@Unicornsandrainbows hope you are ok? I was so clumsy when I was carrying my first, pretty much would fall over fresh air!

@Hidcat thanks for the new thread, sorry you got a bfn. Xxx

@Pearcrumble I know exactly what you mean. There are some days, my darkest days when I feel very down, when I feel like my losses were too early to count as "proper" miscarriages and that I am a fraud by being on here/labelling myself as having had 2MCs. There's still a small part of me that worries I'll never qualify for medical help should I need it - I worry if i had another MC the RMC won't accept such early losses as "real" miscarriages and the infertility clinic won't accept a referral because technically I've been pregnant twice in 7-8 months. So I totally sympathise with how you were feeling. But as the others have said, a loss is a loss no matter how early, never feel like you don't deserve to be here or don't deserve to feel devastated about your loss

@Unicornsandrainbows1 I'm so happy for you! Awful about your fall- do take care- but looks like you have a determined bean in there. I still remember all the crap you were going through when I joined (8 threads ago!! 😯) but so glad it's all working out. Hope I can join you soon!
@L1zz13 that's final. Hope you're ok xx

@littlemma I'm with @boboephant cd17 was the surge xx

Started back on the pill today!

@Boboelephant It went well from what I can tell. Nothing negative was said anyway which they said they'd do if that was the case. Had a fall a couple of days ago and after trying to spend over a day trying to get a hold of a mw, bubs seems a-ok on their doppler thingy. She was more worried about me 🙆

@UnicornsandRainbows1 of course you can. Hello!! How was your 20 week scan??

@littleemma1 because you don't have any from Thursday it's hard to say. But because yesterday AM is positive I wouldn't think you ovulated Thursday. Because it was lighter last night, it's very possible you had a positive one Thurs night too and you ovulated during the day yesterday. If it was me I would count today as 1dpo.

Can I watch this thread still? Is that cool? I've been dipping in and out to see how everyone's doing.

@Boboelephant yes I was thinking based on darker line yesterday morning then seemingly declining lines thereafter I either ovulated on 7th (Thursday) when I’d momentarily given up on them or at some point yesterday (8th/Friday) and missed the surge by a couple of hours due to my long shifts (I refuse to take them to work!) xx

@Pancakes7 what opks do you use? How often do you take them? It's possible you have a short surge and you are getting that overnight. Stretchy cm equals fertility so you are either ovulating or close to. I get EWCM for about 6 days but that's why you have a fertile 'week'. It's hard to track ovulation exactly without temping but defi jump DH! It's the right time to do so.
@littleemma1 not trying to correct anyone but you only have one positive opk there and that is the one from yesterday morning. The lines today show your LH surge on the decline. With 2 line opks they are only positive if the lines are the same darkness. Your ones today are not so are not positive. Usually when a cycle varies in length it is the follicular phase that varies and the luteal phase stays the same. So I reckon you'll be in luck to have af/bfp in about 2 weeks.

Hey, just checking in too!...

Well I think based on these I’ve made my decision...
if I haven’t got a BFP or AF by 2nd July then my body clearly hasn’t done what it’s meant to so I’ll start the meds to make sure I don’t get AF on the wedding day or on honeymoon.
That gives 21 days for something to happen, so even if OV is slightly late then should be ok :)

@littleemma1 I think it's definitely a positive for the 8th June , but also looks positive for today. I'm not sure how your tests work but the digital ones give a static smiley face for 48 hours so I assume I will ovulate within this time, you still may have not ovulated but will within the 48hour period so JKS!!! Fx for you x

@littleemma1 yes I had an mmc at 10 +6 so definitley a loss. I've been on here a few weeks. All lovely supportive people.

I'm trying to understand opks... as I said I never managed a positive but we conceived before. Maybe I drink too much water? Confused... but having stretchy cm so think its ov time. Planning to jump dh before we head out seperately tonight.

@littleemma1 I agree. CD17 AM is positive so I'd say you either ovulated last night or today.

And these are from last month when we conceived... so it’s likely I could’ve OV on 7th and missed it as I gave up on opk’s

CD 17 AM looks positive to me @littleemma1 I think you ovulated on CD18

@Pancakes7 after just a short time with them I’ve discovered these ladies are so lovely and supportive and they’re right, any loss is a loss ❤️

Right ladies. Analyse these... I think I could’ve ovulated yesterday and I’ll have missed the opk opportunity as my first one was done at 6am and last at 8pm!!
Still in two minds with what to do 🙄🙄🙄

MrsG still not got AF but had a big temp drop so I know it's coming.....

Thinking about missing next month as IF it does work I'd be early pregnant on our holiday and that means HG and we'd cancel it.... then I think, who am I kidding, of course it won't work??!

Hey everyone, I'm hopping back on.

Did any of you have extra long cycles after miscarrying? I'm 6 days late. My first period after the miscarriage was quite light but it came 9 days after the mc bleeding finished and roughly 26 days after the mc started so I figured it just was because my uterus hadn't had chance to form a new lining. Now wondering if it was part of the mc bleed somehow. Really frustrated - I just want my period or a BFP!
