TTC after miscarriage - February 2020

My cramps last week have turned into 'twinges' when I sneeze or turn over in bed, which is what happened with both of my last two (unsuccessful) pregnancies. I'm due AF on Tuesday, but going to test tomorrow I think, even though I never get a positive before missed AF (even with DS, I was about 4 days late, despite using the 10 miu tests).

Wow haven’t been on here for couple days and now I see 2 more BFPs!! So encouraging!!

Congratulations @StephyRose and @AlviesMam! Wishing you both all the best for the months ahead 😊!xx

@Anny27 I'll be there 🤗♥️

@fireflygirl I only use my phone really but good to know! I will definitely have a look on the computer at some point. Thanks lovely.

@shhhhs, if you're on PC you can ctrl+F and type in the username, that should show you their posts/posts where they're referred to.

@shhhhs if you find a way I would love to know!

Yayyy so many bfps @bs9790 @AlviesMam @StephyRose 💗💗💗

@BS9790 thanks for your run down of what you changed up :D

@ChampooPapi see you on the march thread 💗💗

My Mumsnet knowledge is pretty basic, is there anywhere of finding out what a specific person has written on a thread without having to go through everything? It's hard to keep track of everyone's background stories but when I want to find out about people I have to go through the whole chat, and no one has time for that! Just checking to see if I'm missing a trick?

Aww thanks everyone
And thanks @ChampooPapi your words mean a lot ❤️❤️
I just feel unsettled that it's a faint line so hoping I'm going to be seeing a darker line when I retest Tuesday 🙏🏼 xxxx

Big virtual wave to you @Fizzl too ♥️

Waves @MilsCookie @Michette and @Anny27 💜

@AlviesMam oh my god! This is truly the best thing I have ever seen on mumsnet. You have been through so much I just can't even put into writing how happy I am for you getting your bfp. Absolutely everything crossed this sticks and a heathy pregnancy follows. This has made my weekend ♥️🌈✨👣

Yayyyyyyyyy congrats @AlviesMam!!!! I totally get feeling anxious but it is definitely a positive test. Maybe try different brands of tests or test again this afternoon after holding your wee for a few hours? SO happy for you!!

Hey @Fizzl - glad I spotted you'd changed your name!! Hope you're doing well! xx

@Michette I used the clear blue digital ovulation tests to detect ovulation.
I got my first flashy smiley on Feb 1st, but didn't get peak fertility until Feb 8th- this is the day I ovulated as I also got a peak on a cheapy opk this day, and barely a line on cheapy opk on the Sunday.

I've attached my screen grab from my app, love hearts are days we DTD, purple oval is ovulation day.

We didn't use any preseed or similar, I laid in bed with a cushion under my hips for 15 mins after! No longer as was worried about getting another uti (had one in Jan)

I cut down to no more than 1 coffee a day, some days none. And was eating more fruit/drinking smoothies in a bid to be healthier!! After my MC in Dec I swapped from taking folic acid tabs to taking the pregnacare trying to concieve tabs and had hubby on the men's version! Thought a few extra vitamins wouldn't go a miss

Thanks @shhhhs hope you feel better soon too. I am yes, which feels a very different place to be in than it was before! A whole new desperation
Hi @Vio112 sorry to see you here - I think most of us are feeling the same

Please can I join? I had a miscarriage at 7.2weeks in November and it's taken until now to feel ready to start trying again. Currently in my fertile window so fingers crossed! I managed to get pregnant the first time really quickly but I'm not taking for granted that happening again... Feeling anxious about it taking a long time to get pregnant and then not being able to keep the pregnancy going 😔

@whiffle77 can relate to your previous post so so much. Hope you feel better soon ❤️ are you in ttw now?

Congrats @AlviesMam great to see some good news!
I'm feeling low today. Think fertile window was distracting me, and now that's over I dont have anything to cling on to. I feel very lonely too as a few of my friends are in bad places too, so I dont really feel I have anyone to talk to other than my OH (who luckily is brilliant). My sleep pattern is awful too, so I just feel really bleurgh.

@BS9790 i am ok. AF arrived this morning as predicted...

Decided to not use preseed for March... and perhaps take a little break before fertile window.

How did you time DTD in February?
Any tips??? 😄

Another positive! We’re making progress 😉

Congratulations @AlviesMam really hope this is it for you!

Best of luck to all you ladies, you deserve it

Congratulations @StephyRose. You have a very strong positive... so try and relax!! I know easier said than done... but hopefully as the weeks pass, it’ll get better.
Congrats @AlviesMam. It’s a definite positive. If you don’t know when you ovulated, may be it was later than you thought...the apps predict based on past data...but after MC cycles usually vary, so the predictions might not be as accurate. I second asking for blood tests.
Good luck both!

@AlviesMam it looks positive!!
I would repeat tomo morning but definitely promising :)

@AlviesMam congratulations, that is absolutely positive (I struggle to see a lot of the lines on here, if I can see it, it's a good one - particularly as you say it came straight up!

You definitely could have ovulated late.

I know we're all very cautious on here, but I have everything crossed for you

Also congratulations to @StephyRose

Here's to sticky beans all around!!

Faint positive **

I've always had strong positives on the day of a missed period (had two losses) so with me being four days late and getting a faint negative does this mean I possibly ovulated later? I'm getting all the pregnancy signs but I really just don't believe it?! X
