TTC after miscarriage - January 2020

@Anny27 I tried to take a pic but it wasn’t showing. Il try again in a different light.
It’s an internet cheapie 10iu

@cruiser1 do you have a pic? Congratulations lovely 🥳🥳🥳🥳 what test did you use? xxx

@MilsCookie yeah few days before might be good! I might test Thursday at 11dpo

Ok Ladies..... I just did this mornings test 9dpo and got a very faint BFP 🙌🏼 I’m delighted but as previously said the positive test is only the first step now when you’ve 2 miscarriages under the belt 😔
Hoping against the odds that this one sticks

Aw ladies I’m right there with you, starting to really feel the anxiety. I just woke up so emotional this morning 😔
CM has turned sticky and yellow so dunno if that’s good or bad .... google says it could be a sign of pregnancy or AF so that doesn’t help 😰😂
I’m testing every day .... all BFN. Not surprising as I’m only 9 DPO
Hugs to all x

@didslysquiddlydoo congratulations lovely! Hope this sticks for you! :D

Yep in the TWW atm - half way now 🥰🥰🥳🥳 7dpo today and AF due next Sunday

@GemLou88 ahh frustrating :( my ovulation was delayed by a week in my second cycle aftee my MC - just sucks doesnt it as you want to be back on track!!

I am half and half between wanting to test early to know and then wanting to wait till AF due so that I have an extra few worry free says. What's everyones thoughts???

That's a good line, @didslysquiddlydoo. Better than mine ever was with my last miscarriage, even when I was a week late.

I'm only at the start of the tww, but I had tender boobs and stretching cramps at what was supposed to be 1dpo, which is far too early for them to be due to Pg, even if I actually ovulated early. Time will tell, I guess 🤷

Wow @didslysquiddlydoo that's definitely a line. Congratulations!! Fingers crossed for a sticky one. Pretty strong considering you're not due until Wednesday. Much stronger than mine was at that point. Xx

@BS9790 and @SweetpeaOrMarigold you're both in the TWW and waiting to test too?! Sorry, missed you guys out! Anyone else?!

As for me... AF due Wednesday but been having symptoms since 3dpo so was pretty convinced I'd caught - not so convinced it was going to be a stocky after two chemicals in row..

Following on from faint lines at 8 and 9 Dpo where you could barely see it, we now have a clear second line on both an internet cheapie (but VERY good - I'd say as good as frer!) and an frer... I just really hope this one sticks - still a while to go until Wednesday!!!

@GemLou88 it's so frustrating isn't it 😢 it's all this stuff that nobody thinks about after someone has experienced a miscarriage! I had a couple of unusual cycles after my MMC but it seems to have evened out now - I know it's easier said than done but give your body some time - it's been through a traumatic experience xx

@ELM7 @Anny27 @MilsCookie you're all still in the TWW but haven't tested yet right?! I've got everything crossed for you!!
Who else is still waiting to test?! Would be good to know who is still hopeful for this month!

I’m so confused right now. Pre MMC my cycles were 28 days and would ovulate around CD 12. This is the first round ttc after my mmc as I had my first period since on the 30th Dec. Currently on CD20. Ive been using the OPK and I think I got a peak/positive result on Wednesday. But yesterday I started getting EWCM and today. I have no idea what my cycle is doing anymore and it’s driving me crazy 😩 I just want a baby and to be a Mummy. Who would think it would be this hard. Just feeling so frustrated and like my body is still letting me down

And that is why I love this thread because you ladies make me realise I’m not alone! Thank you.

Currently sitting back with a glass of lemonade in a gin glass because as much as I’d like to make it a very large gin best not just in case 😂

@ELM7 yes thats how I feel! 6dpo atm and really want to know if I am pregnant but really testing early will mean I worry for a few days more than if I waited till after period

And I still get the excitement of wondering if I am pregnant or not! Just gotta try and get through these next 7/8 days 😭😭

@MilsCookie thanks lovely! Yep I am obsessed with noting down every twinge and bodily symptom haha

@MilsCookie I'm not sure, either 6/7/8 dpo I think. I didn't ever get a raging positive in opks, they gradually got darker and were darkest last Saturday & Sunday, they then went back to barely visible. I had some pains on Monday, so wondered if that could be ovulation. But tbh I haven't got a clue.
Worried I've relied on the opks rather than my usual dates
My pre mc was a 33 day cycle, with me ovulating on day 19... This month according to the opks would of been ovulation around day 14.

Would of just carried on DTD to cover my back, lol, but it was quite painful on Monday, then diagnosed with uti later in week so there's been no more BD since Mon!

@ELM7 exactly right though, I started crying today because I felt sick and I didn't know why. DP thinks I'm losing the plot. One half of me is saying I'm pregnant and the other half is saying 'that will be last nights chinese takeaway'. Then even if I am pregnant, a positive doesn't mean anything anymore. Because I had lovely positives a month ago and it went back to negative in a week. Wish I could be one of those people that only realises they are pregnant at 20 weeks!

This TWW is driving me crazy!!! One week down one to go.

Last time I didn’t think about symptoms before hand until about the day before AF was due and manage to wait a couple of days after AF before I tested. Now all I want to do is test but it’s too early and also scared that I’ll get a BFN but also scared if I get the BFP because what if it all goes wrong again. It’s all just such a headfuck (sorry for the language)

Ah FC @BS9790 we get our bfp

@SweetpeaOrMarigold I'm cd20, taking mc bleeding as day 1 of cycle. I think I ovulated around sat/sun/mon as sat/sun were my strongest lines on opks. So we're around a similar place, fingers crossed you get good news xx

@MilsCookie, thank you. Wish I could have that optimism! When will you be testing? Xx

@BS9790 I have no idea 🙄
MC was 3rd Jan so I'm day 16 of cycle if thats a cycle. Have had cramps and nausea and sore boobs since 15th (D13) and with recent pg I was like that from 3dpo. I know my boobs were massive and sore by d9po so will be looking out for that.

@SweetpeaOrMarigold how many dpo are you now?

The wait is torture!! I'm already 100% convinced it hasnt happened for me this month. I had so many signs last time from so early...nothing at all this time.
