Conception and ovulation straight after chemical pregnancy

Hi all,
New to this board ☺️
I’m 32 and myself and DH are trying for number 2 (we have an almost 3YO DD). We just had a chemical pregnancy - AF was due May 18th, already faint pregnancy test lines got fainter on May 19th and disappeared completely on 20th. Started bleeding May 20th and now on a very heavy AF.

We are emotionally ready to just got for it again, my question is have any of you positive experience of getting right after an early Chemical pregnancy and if so did you find you ovulated earlier/later.

For example, I ovulate exactly 14 days after my period starts. As my period was technically 3 days late, do I assume I will just ovulate 14 days after this bleed started? Or do I count 14 days after period was actually due?

Anyone who has just been through the same that wants to join me on this journey please do! X

Also @Abi58 how do you manage to shine a torch behind them? Whenever I've attempted this I've just ended up getting so much light in my eyes I can't see anything anymore 😂

satsumasaturday · 29/06/2019 09:27

I've attached the photo i took before I left the house but I can't see anything on it. I'm pretty sure I was wishful thinking, especially as I know that it was at 11dpo that I kept checking my ic even though I couldn't really see anything and then got a bfp the next day. I put it though the light box on fertility friend and it didn't show anything.

Fingers crossed though, I can remain optimistic until af arrives 😊

Can see a line when shone light behind
Is the name of the thread there's a pic there it didn't photograph well but it was a shadow! Blanks all again after chemical then got a shadow for 2 days then bfp on frer so 🤞🏻 it's a sign for you too!
If they are usually stark white for you it could be super early detection!

Abi58 · 29/06/2019 09:02

@MountAbora it really is! Af due today so 🤞🏻 she stays away and this one is sticky!

You can have many a Prosecco! Not out til af comes though! When is af due??

@satsumasaturday you got a pic?
This month and last month I got a hint on an ic before I got my bfp. It was literally caught my eye then vanished then could only see when shone a torch behind it but was the perfect line. Both months before nothing. Stark white. So I'm thinking that for me it was maybe the start of something. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

satsumasaturday · 29/06/2019 07:39

Me again.

Just took a look at the ic I did having just tossed it on the side and there seems to be a hint of something. My eyes have gone funny staring at it now but I reckon I might be seeing a shadow.

Probably wishful thinking, or an actual shadow. I've got no wee left now so maybe I'll try later with a frer if af doesn't show.

satsumasaturday · 29/06/2019 07:09

@MountAbora yes it's definitely meant the TWW has gone quicker.

Sorry that the boots test hasn't given you a line - at least you're a few days closer to your fertile time now so not too long to wait to try again.

My temperature dropped below my cover line this morning and another blank ic so I'm expecting af to arrive today. I'm thinking I might try soy isoflavones next month to try to bring my ovulation forward a bit, I was going to try them the month after my bfp but then didn't cos of the bfp

MountAbora · 28/06/2019 21:01

Oh @satsumasaturday I can imagine it’s tough going back after that time off!! At least being backs hopefully helped distracted you a bit from the tww! Fingers crossed for you, as you said your definitely not out yet!! Keep us posted!

@Abi58 definitely addictive ! But it must be a great feeling to keep seeing that second line.

I did a Boots test this evening (I’m too stingy to use a frer when it’s so unlikely !) and got no hint of a line so think it must have been evaps.
Disappointing but expected & I have a good friends 30th this weekend so the small silver lining is I can have a couple of Proseccos 👍 and next week get down to it Grin

satsumasaturday · 28/06/2019 18:11

Hi ladies just checking in, glad the weekend is here - a full week after three weeks off has been tough! It's kept me distracted though at least 🙂

So I'm 10/11dpo now so AF due either today or tomorrow. Had a bit more spotting earlier this morning so I'm pretty sure af is on its way. I'm still Constantly doing ICs but there's nothing there. Saying that last month when I got my bfp it didn't come until 12dpo with what was possibly an "unidentified mark" 11dpo. So I know I can't rule myself out until af arrives.

Keep getting little pains in my boobs today but I think I'm just noticing them because I'm thinking of them. Apart from that I feel totally normal (but again I did last month too).

@MountAbora ppllleeeaaassseee do the frer 😉

Abi58 · 28/06/2019 13:46

@MountAbora it's addictive isn't it! 😂
Aw thank you 😁🤞🏻

I found frer is the most sensitive and for some reason I've been getting strongest lines about 8-9pm after a hold and not drinking much 🤞🏻 for you and keep us updated :)

MountAbora · 28/06/2019 12:59

I’d be the same @Abi58 tbh I am the same and haven’t even had a BFP 🤣 sounds like everything is going well for you which I’m so pleased about!
Ah ok, I’m not very hopeful but will try a another tonight. I have boots ones, Clearblue & frer & hopefully ic in the post today! So have a few to choose from 😆

Abi58 · 28/06/2019 08:27

@MountAbora yeah I'm definitely going overboard with the testing 😂 I'm like a woman possessed 😂 buttttt when I see those lines I relax for the day of I didn't i know I'd be worrying 🙈

thank you 💕🤞🏻 for a sticky baby for all of us

I did one the day before I got my line on frer and had a faint line almost like a shadow and with the reviews wrote it off, not sure if it was or picked something up but keeping everything crossed for you! What other tests do you have?

MountAbora · 28/06/2019 08:23

I don’t blame you @Abi58 especially after last month. You have very strong positives so hopefully you are in the clear. Fingers crossed for a sticky baby!

Yeah they are Asda ones & Iv read about the evap lines with them. Don’t think last nights had colour but todays might have a tiny bit. I really don’t want to waste a frer when I think I’m going crazy so will try a different cheap test & if that’s still inconclusive will resort to a frer!! Honestly this ttc stuff has me going mad!! 😆

Abi58 · 28/06/2019 07:41

@MountAbora I'm just paranoid tbh, but it's making me feel better seeing it's still there 😂 af isn't due til tomorrow hence still panicking she's just going to show up later. I think I'll feel a lot better mid week next week if she hasn't shown and it's been a good few days 🤞🏻

I can see a line, can you tell if it has colour? Are these the Asda ones? I think Asda's are not well liked. Do you have an frer you can try? 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

MountAbora · 28/06/2019 07:37

@Abi58 Great! I thought it would be okay with all the positives you have had but still good to have that reassurance. So pleased for you!

@satsumasaturday sometimes people get BFPs without any symptoms so your not out yet. Fingers crossed for you.

So I’m pretty sure the lines are just evaps. I can still a whisp of a line, but have some ic’s on order anyway so will try one of those when they arrive just to put my mind at rest.
Flo says it’s my fertile week next week so I’ll keep myself busy with that & hope for next cycle.

@MountAbora did my daily frer and another ic I must've had a dud. Wasn't a huge progress like they have been so far but I don't know what good progression looks like 🙈
Just happy they aren't lighter!

🤞🏻 for you do you have an frer you can try?

@satsumasaturday did appear to be faulty but did give me a fright! Haha I'm at 2 a day (3 today but I learnt my lesson 😂)

I'm wary of that new batch though so when I use the next one I'll do an old and new just to check it was 1 faulty or all faulty.

I thought I was out with no symptoms you're not out til af comes 🤞🏻

satsumasaturday · 27/06/2019 22:19

@MountAbora I feel like my eye is being drawn to something, but I can't see enough to be sure... how odd that your DH is the one symptom spotting you though - it's usually the other way round! Try again in the morning maybe and see what's there

@Abi58 that must be a faulty test, you've had so many positives and some strong lines so I'd just ignore that one and continue what seems to be a seventy test a day habit! In fact, perhaps that ic is from the same faulty batch that is giving me bfns every day.... I wish.

10dpo here, what feels like zero symptoms and had some spotting this morning which was more like the spotting I get before AF than what I had last month with my bfp so I think I'm out. Should find out either tomorrow or Saturday as that's when I expect af to arrive.

MountAbora · 27/06/2019 20:44

@Abi58 very strange, you have got so many positives it seems unusual it would be completely white. Sounds like it could be a faulty test if as it’s ic. Fingers crossed for you it is.
Yeah I have another cheapy test, think I will try tomorrow with FMU & hopefully able to put my mind at rest. I was just ready to start again this month but this has given me a tiny glimmer of hope which isn’t great as so sure Il be disappointed.

Abi58 · 27/06/2019 20:33

@Larrydavid thank you I am although still extremely nervous!
I'm completely with you I've got my second now but am so worried it's going to happen again I'm testing every day but 🤞🏻it's looking ok

Decided to do an ic this afternoon and it's completely negative very confused and hoping it was faulty 😩🙈

@MountAbora thank you :)

It's really hard to see on the photo. Do you have one you can try again? 🤞🏻

MountAbora · 27/06/2019 20:20

Heya All. Hope everyone is doing ok?

@Abi58 Congratulations! I saw your other thread. So exciting!!

I need you ladies to talk some sense into me, because as you know I got af on fri, however my DP has somehow convinced me to do a pg test today because he thinks I might be.... I’m 99% sure I’m not. My af was about 5/6 days early & I didn’t have any normal symptoms but the bleeding was the same, iv been much tireder than usual, hungrier & needing to pee more often, but all these could be explained by other things & then today (2 days after af properly stopped) I got some spotting, sorry if tmi, not red but brownish blood when I wiped. So I took a test just to proof I wasn’t but now Im convincing myself I see something very very faint. I now feel completely crazy so please feel free to tell me that there is nothing there!
I definitely see something in real life but it’s probs just evap. When I got my BFP for the cp I could definitely see the coloured line so I know what it should look like.....but still!
Sorry for the rambling, this ttc can drive you batty at times 😂

@Abi58 thank you! Fingers crossed. And congratulations to you, you must be so happy!

@satsumasaturday I think I might be ovulating today actually. I got a static smiley yesterday on my opk and have some twinges today. But I'm never really sure (I don't take temp)

Part of me is happy because at least I know I can get a bfp but another part of me is so worried it won't happen again! Trying to stay optimistic about the whole thing though!

Abi58 · 24/06/2019 22:37

@satsumasaturday 🤞🏻 especially as only 9dpo
It wouldn't let me add a photo here but theres a post called I think I've got my bfp if you fancied a nose and confirm I'm not going mad 😁🙈🥰💕

Ics are good tbh I got the faint frer this morn and a visible but questionable line on ic but this afternoon it's faint but definitely there so only a little bit later than frer! 🤞🏻 for you!

If you want to resist just pee and then it's gone good luck for when you test 🤞🏻 and let us know how it goes!

satsumasaturday · 24/06/2019 21:47

Welcome @Larrydavid and so sorry to hear about your loss last month, let's hope this month is your month 😊 are you 1dpo today?

@Abi58 positive that you've got a bfp still from afternoon wee. I've just dug out my new batch of ICs, will try to resist in the morning but no guarantees.... my only hope in the mornings is I forget and then it's too late

Abi58 · 24/06/2019 19:35

@MountAbora @satsumasaturday thank you so much 🥰💕
I'm so so worried it won't stick again but I'm hoping for the best. Just done an ic with afternoon wee not strong looking and I think it's stronger than this mornings line so 🤞🏻

That also sounds promising 😁🤞🏻

@Larrydavid welcome. Sorry to hear about your loss 🤞🏻 you get a sticky baby soon and we're all here if you need to talk 💕

Larrydavid · 24/06/2019 19:01

Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in so late in the thread! I've been lurking - I had a chemical last month and am now just entering my TWW after lots and lots of dtd. Making me happy reading the BFPs on this thread. Fingers crossed you get some more!
