TTC after pregnancy loss - thread 27 - BFPs are coming!

Thank you ladies ❤️

@Laney79 I did read somewhere that pregnacare can lengthen your cycles! Xx

@Boboelephant thank you, suppose it's wishful thinking everything to just go back to normal isn't it.

@MeghanV07 I'm hoping everything works out for you, must be so awful not being able to do anything but you seem to be being so strong FX xxx

@Russkispy I bet that was amazing to see xx

Currently on CD23, I haven't done any test as it's too early yet I think, just holding out for AF. Used to have cycles that averaged around 23 before MC and I''m thinking she will be here any day now with how emotional I've been!!

Ah lovely news @Russkispy fingers crossed for you xx

@Laney79 I didn't know q10 could lengthen your cycle hope it does I'm taking it and I Could use a few more day I'm a 24 dayer
@wow how exciting I don't know how it works but I'm still so excited for you x

Ah @Lilimum5 you really are going through the mill -big hugs.

Thanks to all who replied. Cd14 and still no high fertility on the clear blue gadget and barely a line on ic opks...latest I've had a positive opk in the past has been cd14 in the arvo so will retest again later. Annoyed with the clearblue thing as it's stressing me out. Only started using this one this month as I thought seeing high fertility as well as peak would help (previously only used the peak fertility sticks that give you the two fertile days) -but it's just stressing me out! Had ewcm since Tuesday. Dtd mon and tues. Not sure I'll be able to get OH in the mood again (he's struggling with stress/depression again) and I'm away most of the weekend with my mom.

So wanted to be preggers again by Christmas. Hey ho.

Can I ask if anyone has had their vitamin D levels checked? I'm a bit worried about it. I take pregnacare pre conception but wondering if I should also take a separate D supplement...but then worried about overdosing! Anyone else taking coq10? I'm wondering if maybe that is lengthening my cycle? Making ovulation late?

Arghhhhh I'm obsessing again...I'm truly bonkers. Oh for the days of "if it happens it happens" -life was so simple then. X

Better news today! My little embie is progressing nicely and already ahead of today’s stage! Already divided into 5 cells on day 2. My little fighter! I got a video and picture of it! Got all emotional!

@SerenaOverjoyed I know what you mean. We'd love to do a Caribbean holiday but everywhere we look is a no go. it is difficult! It's a bit further but Thailand is great.
@Tinselbee how are you getting on today?
@DayDreamer1707 and @OctoberGirl91 sorry you are both having so much confusion around opks. As others have said MC can really wreak havoc with bodies and cycles for the first 6 months so I would try and wait for af and hopefully things regulate soon. Its possible to have several surges and the egg release not complete. Although if you can JKS go for it!
@Merlin, @Wearytree and @granolacrayons welcome and so sorry for your losses.
@Laney79 hope ov is soon hun. CD15 here so hoping mine is this weekend too. Second what KnitKitty said. 40 soon or not, you're clearly still very fertile!
@fnej01 glad your test was ok. 'Fanny scan' 😂😂
@KnitKitty it's so hard trying to decide what's the best move to make. I hope your break brings you some clarity and I know whichever way you get there, you'll be a wonderful mum one day.
@Mistymeow hello stranger! Awesome that you got your IVF appt coming up. Not sure what happening but maybe you are being struck with the bfp before IVF lucky charm? 🤞 Will you test again or wait?
@Russkispy I have everything crossed that one egg is all you need!
@MeghanV07 Glad you are feeling a little better. Hope everything continues well and bubs stays put.
@Lilimum5 sorry you are having such a confusing time! Hope you get some answers soon.
@Justincase87 good luck for Friday.

CD 15 here and hoping to ovulate over the weekend. Had a few day 22/23 ovulations the last 2 months which have been crap so hoping for earlier. I've been chugging down grapefruit juice and seeds and had acupuncture tonight so fingers crossed!

The Dr said it could one of two things, a threatened miscarriage or a chemical pregnancy. She said as long as I don't bleed any more in the next couple of days then to rule out that bleeding. I need to test every Thursday till I get to 8 weeks and if I have any more bleeding around 7 weeks then to ring up and they will scan me. She said there isn't much they can do at this stage (I was hoping she's suggest a blood test) but to just basically wait and see. But I do feel better I've spoken about it to her as if anything was to happen, at least I've made a note of my worries now.

Thank you all for checking up on me ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@MeghanV07 how are you doing?! @Lilimum5 , I do really hope soon enough you get the answers!

@KnitKitty I feel like this month I have had PMS symptoms during ovulation which isn't something that's normal for me. I figure it must just be hormones settling - or I am just tired and ratty.
I too have looked at adoption. I am blessed with a teenage stepson, but can't imagine growing old without having a child of my own. I think time is a wonderful thing, you need to sit with stuff for a while and then follow your instincts. It's really easy to get caught in the pain of miscarriage and just keep ploughing on.

@MeghanV07 hope you are ok. @Lilimum5 I hope you get answers, I don't know how you are managing to cope.

To all of the weird OPK ladies I did have several days of strong positive for this month. Am only half tracking but a good 48 hours. Only other thank us have you done a pregnancy test and ruled it out?

@Russkispy good luck. It only takes one 🤞

@MeghanV07 how you doing hun x

Hope you got some support today @meghanV07 X

How'd you get on at the epu @MeghanV07? I hope they were helpful

Fx your GP is helpful let us know how you get on @MeghanV07 xx

@Lilimum5 I'm so sorry, you seem to be having a tough time. Normally you would love to see that line. I hope you bloods show some positive results. It's cruel how our bodies can mess us around.

Does anyone know the answer to this Question....If you had ovulation bleeding, does that mean you have ovulated? x

OK I've got to go for more bloods to see if the numbers are going up or down I'm praying that's its a mistake because I had a negative on Monday and now it positive again today. Its definitely not a new pregnancy.

Hi All, I was on the last thread but have been dipping back in every now and again. So sorry to all the new joiners.
I'm 34, TTC #2 (22 month DS). MMC in July. Both previous pregnancies happened first time round. This time it seems to be much harder. AF has just arrived today (at CD 25, which is unusual as I have generally 28 day cycles). AF has been so much more painful since the MC. DH thinks we should see a doctor as it's odd that it is taking so long. I don't know what they will do as I know for many people it takes much longer (it just historically hasn't for us). :(

@OctoberGirl91 my EPU are horrid. They wouldn't even speak to me last time, they just kept saying there was nothing they could do as I wasn't 7 weeks yet. So my GP referred me. Hoping she can do that today ❤️

That's how I feel @Justincase87 because of the time of year it's making it so much worse. I hope they just suggest bloods today so at least I have a decent level of hcg. My mc was only 827 and it would have been in the 2000's. so as long as it's a good number that will help even for a couple of weeks. I just hate all this uncertainty 😔 hope your scan goes well on Friday though. Please keep us updated ❤️

Thanks @Lilimum5, I just hate feeling like this. I know so many people have mc's and it's becoming more common that people are having them but it just makes you so so worried doesn't it. Let us know what they say xx

Aww @MeghanV07 that is perfectly normal, surely you'll get a referral to EPU. I suffer with anxiety quite bad usually so I honestly don't know how I feel once I see those two pink lines again it's a nerve wracking time.

Be kind to yourself 💖 hope GP makes referral, can you self refer?xx

Oh @meghanV07 - big hugs - it's such a shit time - I had a scan at what should have been 6 weeks and I knew due to my cycle length etc it would be out but I only saw a sac and yolk which whilst normal at 5 weeks, has made me more anxious and I've had a long two week wait until my scan on Friday. I would be tempted to wait a little longer than 6 weeks unless you're a 28 day/ovulate on day 14 person. I do understand how scary it is, but sometimes the uncertainty can make it worse.

I have had some bleeding and pain so I don't feel very confident and have no idea how I will get through another miscarriage especially this time of year, but I'm trying to stay strong.

@MeghanV07 thanks I'm waiting for a call back.
You are not silly we all understand the anxiety you are dealing with hun xx

Oh @Lilimum5 this isn't easy for you is it. Yes ring EPU ❤️

@Beaglemum93I just rang my doctors in tears so they've got me in for 2:30 to have a chat. Just hoping they can refer me for an early scan just so I can see something. Or at least do bloods. I feel like such an idiot crying but I feel so upset atm 😔

Xx

OK I'm royally p*ed off now. Its definitely not a new pregnancy as I'm still bloody bleeding and spotting from Mondays drama. I'm gonna go call epu and find out what to do.

@KnitKitty I am just as bad today if not worse, got upset and cried again. No idea why. Has to be AF soon...CD 22 so god knows. I normally don't get this emotional but you never know after a MC. I just struggle switching off when I'm at work because I'm on the internet all day so can't help but look into things 🙈

@Russkipsy Good luck and will be keeping my FX for you x

@Holly5633 step away from the tests!!! Give them to DH to hide or something 😂

@Mistymeow try not to worry and maybe try and test again when you are feeling ready x
