TTC after miscarriage - January 2020

@Anny27 I would love to say in about 10 days....but my ICs will arrive tomorrow or Saturday and I will 100% do morning tests every day 🤣

@Anny27 sorry to hear your feeling down lovely. I found myself getting down in the last few weeks because I felt like I already was pregnant, why am I having to fight for it again? At least it feels like a fight as every day is a rollercoaster of emotions.

But you will get pregnant again and have a baby. Because you want it so much. And you are taking all the right steps to get there. 💗🌈👶🏼 this could absolutely be your month.

Keeping everyone crossed for you, for us all. ❤💗💙

@BecsterG yep I am trying to stay positive! If I am not pregnant it means I can go on the waterslidds when we visit centreparcs next month.....so a very small silver lining haha! When will you retest??

Sorry @mlax :( are you sure of when you ovulated?

@cruiser1 8dpo quite early for AF cramps so let's hope its implantation! 🤞🤞

@SweetpeaOrMarigold when will you test?

Hi ladies...

AF due yday/today so took a test and it's negative ☹️ here's to trying next month 🤞

Hi Ladies, the TWW is killing me 😰
I know what you mean @BecsterG I feel like the TWW has been going on for about 4 weeks already and I’m only 7/8 dpo 😩

Iv just started to get cramps.... they’re quite sharp. Getting them for the last 2 hours or so now on and off
Praying it’s implantation 😥

@FireflyGirl I'm only just in the TWW, I think I ovulated sometime over the weekend.
Tbh... Havent actually got a clue anymore.
Just winging it!!

I'm in tww too, if I use MC D1 as AF D1.
No idea if I've ovulated but we've been DTD most days for a week to try and catch.
I have all the same symptoms as last time but I'm worried I'm just making it up
The main symptoms that I had last time were cramps and nausea and it feels just the same, BUT I had all the cramps from MC plus nausea with that, so I'm swinging between "yes I'm 100% pregnant" and "this is still left over pain and I've not even OVd yet"

@Anny27 I also thought it would happen within a couple of months. I don't understand how some people just have to do it once to get pregnant and others can take years. I have a few friends who've caught quickly and whenever they've tried to offer me advise like try and relax etc it just annoys me as they have no idea how it consumes you.

You have to try somehow and stay positive and your time will come again. It's rubbish as I know nothing I or anyone says can make it happen or make you feel better but we're all in this together.

The TTW is the hardest. I've never been as impatient as I have been this time round. Felt like it had been weeks when I was only 6 DPO :D

@BecsterG thanks lovely! That gives me hope that you have a little boy after 7 months trying! Yep I knew it could take a long time but sidnt expect it to be me as all my friends have seemingly caught quite quick!!

@terribleimagination it's a hard time isnt it! Hope we can be pregnant again soon 🤞🤞🥰

I find the tww much tougher then any other time as theres nothing you can do haha. Atleast before ovulation you can DTD and that's a proactive step haha

@MilsCookie thank you ❤️ I’m feeling really sad today, but I’ll pick myself up and crack back on!

@Anny27 So sorry you’re feeling so low lovey. TTC is just such a rollercoaster. I know what you mean though, I’d give anything to be pregnant again 😔

@Anny27 really sorry you feel so down. TTC is not easy at all and I don't know about you but before we tried for our son I had no idea it would take so long.

When we were TTC with my son it took 7 months. I was getting so down as the whole world seemed to be pregnant and it was on my mind 24/7. I decided in month 7 to stop temping, OPK'ing and symptom spotting, stayed off the apps and forums and just went with the flow. It really help my mood and I was surprised how much it changed how I felt. Not sure if it's related but that was the month we fell pregnant.

It's so hard but please please please don't give up. It will happen again, you just have to stay positive. If you are out this month why not try something different next month to help your mindset?

xx

Congratulations to all the BFPs! So exciting. And good luck to those coming the end of TWW.
Hopefully we’ll all be joining a BFP thread soon 🌈

Ladies I am already feeling so sad if I dont conceive this cycle. We have technically been trying for our first baby since June now so its already been 7 months really. Only 4 months of those actually ttc and the rest of it being pregnant/ having the miscarriage and recovering but it just feels like so long since we first decided :( and even before we decided I had wanted a baby for a long time we just weren't ready.

Sorry being a bit down but I was just so happy when I was pregnant and I want it more than anything again

@FireflyGirl I'm not in tww yet, will be soon though!
My opk came back as peak yesterday morning (7am) so assume I'll ovulate today & count tomorrow as 1dpo?

Do you know thinking about it. I wonder whether February is going to be a fertile month. When I tried a few years ago, I started in September, had three early miscarriages on the run and then finally got a sticky bean in February.
I read this article about 'killer cells' that run in cycles which might explain recurrent miscarriage

@Michette thank you. I’m 9DPO so really not a strong positive yet. You’re not out until AF arrives. That’s what I say anyway. Baby dust.

Definitely February thread 🙌🏼

Aw @Michette don’t give up hope, maybe Saturday 👍🏼

@BecsterG i can see it!!! 8dpo is really good!!
Fingers crossed!!

I tested with ultra early this morning and BFN. I am at 10dpo..

99% sure i am not pregnant now. But will test again saturday!!

And yes defo in for a Feb thread!!!!

Hey @cinderrose, it's bloody hard isn't it lovely, we are here all the way girl. Cd21 so getting on it as well today and this weekend, after our surgical managements we can't be certain of ovulation so just keep doing that deed 💪

Hi ladies! I have been reading this thread since it started, you guys have kept me sane for this past couple of weeks so I am officially joining now. I had a MMC at 9 weeks towards the end of November with medical management (twice as the first time didn't complete).

The MC really devastated me and people not talking about it or acknowledging it made it so much worse for me. Such a lonely thing to go through so it's very comforting to hear you all had similar experiences.

I am feeling ready to try again, on CD20 and getting almost positive OPKs so hoping to ovulate soon. So so so exciting to see the positive pregnancy tests!!! It's giving me hope!

@Anny27 I really hope you catch this month, October baby sounds pretty good to me 💜

@Anny27 god knows , I feel like I'm ovulating all the time 😆. My body has been playing a lot of tricks on me this month so going to keep at it this weekend but then I am soo done untill the end of the month when it'll either be testing or bleeding 🤞👣

@Champoopapi yeah we must be similar then as I am due AF 26th ish!!

How are you feeling- think you have ovulated?

@didslysquiddlydoo oh goodness another 👣, wow ladies so pleased for you all. Everything crossed for sticky ones, keep us updated with those line progressions! 🤞
