TTC after miscarriage - February 2020

@Michette hey, sorry that you've now and a negative pregnancy test. Bugger. Looks like we are all having another month of ttc fun then 🙄Congrats on the driving test pass, you must be so pleased!. It's a bloody hard test so you have earned a weekend of serious relaxing and pampering I reckon.

Mine as been all over place too

Thank you @Kona84 it’s all so confusing!
I think the only thing I can do is just dtd for the next few days and hope to cover all bases.
I am going to test later on today though just to see if there is any change in the darkness of the test line. More for my own curiosity than anything else!
I scanned the test just now using premom and it gave it a value of 0.77 so not quite there according to that. According to that app and only having this current cycles info to go on it has me as due to ovulate in 2 day’s so will be interesting to see how accurate it is!

@Moominmiss I googled it this morning because I’ve had 24 hours of what look like peak test results (test line darker than the control line) I found this post really useful to help understand. This is my first ovulation after my miscarriage I haven’t had AF yet.

Looking at your test I would say it’s close to if not a peak.

I scan my tests with the Premom app and the glow app, it then gives it a value.

@shhhhs so I put my test into that app and from what I understand I’m still a way off ovulation. T/C ratio (whatever that is) is 0.77 and from what I read in the Q&A section it needs to be at 1 or higher to be classed as positive. I’ve no idea how long it takes to go from mine to a positive but I’ll do another test later today and carry on testing for the next few days and hopefully see a peak.

@moominmiss this is my first new cycle since miscarriage, so I've had one period since MC. My cycle lengths can be a bit all over the place so I'm just being impatient, I was hoping this would be more of my shorter cycles but maybe not. I'm using OPK so fingers crossed I won't miss it and ovulation happens in the next few days. Your stripes definitely look like you're almost there, exciting 😁

@shhhhs how many cycles are you post mc? I’m wondering if I am due to ovulate soon if my cycles will stay at ovulation around this time and this will be my new norm.

@shhhhs thank you! I’ll try that!!

@moominmiss you can always put a picture of the test into an app such as PreMom and it predicts the levels for you and says when you've reached 'peak'. I'm CD14 and no signs of ovulation yet 😣

@Anny27 thank you. I think I might restart this afternoon/evening and see if there’s any change, but assume ovulation is nearly here. I think I’ll make sure we dtd every day from today through til Monday at least. I’m sure dp wont complain 😂
Will be a different tww experience for me this time around as I’ve never had a clue when ovulation happened before, I just assumed it was mid cycle, so will be nice to have a clearer idea!

@Moominmiss that looks like my positive ovulation test from a few days ago. Sometimes my go darker than the control line and sometimes nearly as dark. So might either turn more positive tonight or that might be your peak

@bs9790 cramps are totally normal in early pregnancy as your uterus is growing to accommodate your lovely October/novemver baby.

Pregnancy after loss is hard though I imagine

@Michette congrats on passing your driving test. My DH (29 nearly) needs to do his still haha!
And sorry that it was an evap! They are very cruel:(

@michette thank you, that’s what I thought. We’ve dtd every day for the last 6 days but that’s pretty normal for us. So will just make sure we carry it on for the next week or so.
Now I’ve seen this test I might even carry on testing over the next couple of days, see what happens.

@bs9790 i totally understand the anxiety but you are still early and a test not being completely dark is normal. The important is line progression and you have it!
You have to be cautious but there is nothing you can do at this stage. I know it’s easier said than done but just try to remember that it is by itself a success, the BFP! And most of them grow out to be healthy babies :)

And yes it was FMU this morning but no line or evap this time!

@Moominmiss
looks like a few days from ovulation! Getting close

@Michette whoo well done on the driving! Like others have said, you're not out until AF shows. Did you do the frer with fmu?

Ive been awake with stomach pains in the night, hating that every little twinge is sending me into panic mode.
I feel like the excitement of pregnancy has been robbed I'm so on edge. We went out for a meal last night and I nearly started crying in the restaurant because I had a few mild stomach cramps!!!

Tested again at 5.30am and it's darker. But still not overly dark, although I'm not sure how dark the lines go on the tests I use. As only started using them whilst I was checking for negative after MC... They're very sensitive but perhaps the line isn't as clear as frer.

@BS9790 congratulations!!!! That’s such fantastic news and awesome line progression!!!

@Michette congrats on passing your driving test!!!! Sorry that yesterday’s test seems to be an evap, I could see the line. You’re not out until af shows anyway, you might have just implanted late. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏻

This is an ovulation test from this morning. I’ve literally no clue when I’m due to ovulate as only had my first af post miscarriage earlier this month. I’m currently cd14.
The top pic is the test almost straight away, the bottom is the same test after the max 10 minutes.

I’ve literally never ever tracked ovulation before. Only have some tests because the company I ordered my pregnancy tests from sent the wrong ones and didn’t want me to bother sending them back. Randomly decided to take a test this morning as I was mid cycle (based on my old cycles being 29 days).
Would you say it looks like I’m gearing up to ovulate soon?

@bs9097 thanks!

I pssed :)

But BFN on frer today so guess it was a convincing evap as @Anny27 said ...

Next cycle luckier i hope!

How are you feeling?

@Michette good luck for the driving test.

@MrsLBear yes I am temping (find it really reassuring to know I have 100% ovulated haha). How about you? I am feeling pretty calm about this months tww......last month I CONVINCED myself I was pregnant so gonna try take it easy this time :p

@Kona84 that would be a lovely birthday present for DP!

@Michette good luck for the driving test!

I just realised that by having my peak ovulation today, i will be due to take a pregnancy test on my partners birthday!! Gotta be BFP right?

@michette I can definitely see a line!!!!! Some ppl can implant quite late. I did the first time I was pregnant. I think only 14dpo did I get a noticeable line. Didn't get a sniff of one before that.

@Anny27 the dreaded 2ww. Are you temping?

Honestly the more i look at it the more i think it’s an evap. I have 0 symptoms on top of that. And been looking at the famous frer evaps and it s clear that’s what it is.

Now regretting testing a bit :(

@annie4025 thanks.! Hopefully the driving will be more successful than the ttc 😅

@Michette I can see the line too when i Zoom...11dpo is still too early, so hopefully it will get darker in the next few days🤞
Good luck with your driving test!
And tentative congrats!!

@Leok83 @ChampooPapi @anny27 thanks ladies for confirming am not crazy x
I also worry about evap here but we will see.
Won’t test tomorrow though! I have my driving test...
Will keep you posted ofc :)
