Here's the new thread. This is a lovely supportive thread for anyone who has suffered the loss of a much wanted baby. Affectionately known as the penguin huddle- this is the place to survive the ups and downs of this crazy journey.

Kicking off with a roll call:

Thanks @mistymeow I think I'll start opks again from Friday if no af by then and assume anovulation cycle.

Felt like crying all day today. Could be frustration, could be hormones, could be that I work with fecking idiots. Who knows, each are equally plausible!

Group hug xx

Thanks ladies!! 🐧🐧🐧
@strawberrye ooh me too! Especially as the next thread will be my 11th one! 🧀
@Mistymeow thanks mate. Yeah held off the testing but unfortunately my hopes were still way up! Trying to be both hopeful and practical... it's proving difficult!

Lilimum4 · 14/08/2018 14:43

Thanks ladies I will just have to keep poas and jks and hope for the best

Mistymeow · 14/08/2018 14:40

@Yukka it's possible to have an anovulatory cycle post miscarriage, I think I might have. I'm cycle 4 post mmc and my last two cycles were normal but this cycle I ovulated 7 days later than usual (confirmed by temps) so my af will probably be 7 days late. It could quite well be the same for you. Sorry for bfn but you never know x

@Lilimum4 My ovulation days have varied post miscarriage. Keep going with testing, I'm sure all is well. Our bodies seem to go a bit haywire after miscarriage and no one really warns you.

@Boboelephant sorry to hear about the bfn. It sounds like you really looked after yourself this month by not testing too early, as I know you got your hopes up last month. How are you doing? I hope you're still in with a shot!

TedLife · 14/08/2018 14:40

@Lilimum i've only been using CB OPKs for 3 cycles and before they were always flashy for 2-3 days then static but this cycle I had 7 flashy days before a static on the 8th. No idea why it was so long this time but I think basically it can vary loads.

Russkispy · 14/08/2018 14:16

@Eastend2015 tentative congratulations! And fingers and toes crossed for you!
@Lilimum4 , I only use digital ones, and have 2-3 days prior static smiley face. But everyone is different. At one stage took 7 days of flashey smile which drove me mad!

Blondcat · 14/08/2018 12:52

@eastend2015 tentative congratulations x

glitterbug17 · 14/08/2018 12:46

Thanks for the welcome! Haven't read the whole thread yet but I will catch up. Sorry about all the BFNs. My period was due 5 days ago, took a test yesterday and got a BFN. Then googled Acutest midstream tests and they get lots of bad reviews. My cycle is 28 days like clockwork so time will tell. Not feeling hopeful xx

strawberrye · 14/08/2018 11:34

@Lilimum4 it really varies, I have had cycles with only 2 flashy smileys before solid smiley, and cycles with 7-8 flashy smileys!

Eastend2015 · 14/08/2018 11:31

Sorry meant all clear from RMC

Eastend2015 · 14/08/2018 11:30

Thanks @strawberrye yes all came back from RMC and they suggested baby aspirin but the evidence is mixed as to whether it helps where you don’t have blood clotting issues (which I don’t). I have epilepsy and some other underlying conditions which might be causing our issues but no one really knows. They will do genetic testing on any “pregnancy material” if this one doesn’t work out Confused

Lilimum4 · 14/08/2018 11:27

@Eastend2015 Fx for you xx

I'm using cb digit opks for the first time this cycle and I got a flashy face this morning. How long does it take to get the static after this? I thought it would be less stressful for me to use the digit test but now I'm not sure lol
@Boboelephant I think you might be right Fx. Sorry for the bfn xx

strawberrye · 14/08/2018 11:22

@Eastend2015 tentative congratulations, I know especially with multiple losses a positive result can cause lots of anxiety and despair about what seems "inevitable", but remember a positive test is the first step in a successful pregnancy. Have you been investigated for recurrent miscarriage or put on any meds for when you get your positive? Each pregnancy is different, try to keep positive xx

Eastend2015 · 14/08/2018 11:16

I’m so sorry for all those with BFNs. I got my positive this morning- too scared to say BFP. This’ll be pregnancy no 6 and only DS to show for it, after some spotting on Sunday I am not at all hopeful. No symptoms but I know it’s early- nothing means anything really anyway.

Laney79 · 14/08/2018 09:27

@strawberrye that would be lovely wouldn't it. Feels like we are due some good news X

strawberrye · 14/08/2018 09:11

@Yukka so sorry for the BFN Sad

I'm hoping some of these BFNs turn into BFPs in time for our new thread!

Newbie21 · 14/08/2018 09:03

@Boboelephant and @Yukka so sorry ladies for the BFN. Hugs to you both xx

MynameisJune · 14/08/2018 09:01

Sorry for the bfn’s @yukka and @boboelephant huge hugs to you both, seeing that white strip really is horrible.

zarala · 14/08/2018 08:51

Sorry for BFNs @Yukka @Boboelephant
Really sucks.... sending hugs

Blondcat · 14/08/2018 08:36

@boboelephant and @yukka sorry for the bfns this morning 🐧🐧

Af due approx today but not testing until the weekend after last months late show. Had some spotting Sunday so think she will show in next couple of days.

Laney79 · 14/08/2018 08:24

@Yukka so sorry lovely xxx 🐧🐧🐧

Russkispy · 14/08/2018 07:48

@Yukka and @Boboelephant , sorry to hear about your BFNs. SEnding hug hugs 🤗

Yukka · 14/08/2018 07:19

@boboelephant sorry for another bfn for you.

Bfn for me too this morning.

strawberrye · 14/08/2018 07:18

@Boboelephant I'm so sorry, this is so shit and unfair. Try not to give up all hope until af arrives. Sending hugs Flowers

Laney79 · 14/08/2018 07:17

Oh @Boboelephant I'm sorry. It feels so unfair. Centre of the huddle for you 🐧🐧🐧🐧 xxx
