TTC after miscarriage - end of January 2020 testing

No BFP for me :/

I tested and there is a SLITHER of a line.....but cant even pick up on camera so I am not convinced. Will retest in a few days but I am not holding out much hope.

I am still somewhat hopeful but I was expecting a better line a few days past supposed implantation

@Anny27 FC for you tomorrow. I’ll be waiting to hear hopefully your BFP in the morning!

@Cruiser1 thats really positive about your bloods. If I was a nurse I’d probably be getting everything tested TTC related as much as possible lol. Hopefully your HCG levels will continue to rise!

@MilsCookie sorry for your loss, funerals are awful. Hopefully your cramps aren’t AF. It’s Friday tomorrow, another day down and another day closer to testing.

Hi @Zoey36. Don’t hide, the ladies here are lovely and a god send. I don’t know who I’d be driving crazy with my obsessing if I didn’t get to hear about everyone else’s journey and know that this is our normal. When are you thinking of testing?

Today seems to have dragged so much. I’m in desperate need of a holiday but struggling to find somewhere nice and warm in March that is Zika free that won’t cost a bomb. If not caught this cycle hopefully the R&R will help 🤷‍♀️

Hi ladies....I've been lurking for a long time! Think I may have said hello on the previous thread but then I've been in hiding! I'm 10dpo but I'm trying really hard not to test this month. Previous 3 pregnancies have been chemicals so ignorance is bliss with me atm but it's so so so hard not to test. I'm so anxious because I've ran through the scenario in my head so many times of AF arriving and I just hate it. I've never had that before...I've always tested before AF has been due. But obviously hoping for a BFP but not very hopeful at all!

@Littlegoth have they put you on a treatment plan? I'm being tested for that in three weeks

@Anny27
Ohh that’s so exciting it could be implantation 🙌🏼
So, an update from me, my tests were getting darker so I did the bloods (I’m very lucky that I’m a nurse so I can get that done at work) so my HCG went from 41 to 143 in 48 hrs so that was good but obviously still very low so we will see! I need to hang on for a couple of weeks and see if it’s sticking

@Anny27 I've got sore boobs, and some uterus cramps (different from normal period cramps), but it's still very early. And I feel groggy in the morning, but that could be unrelated.

I'm just taking my vitamins and biding my time until the end of next week. I'm going to be really busy with my hobby from tomorrow until next Saturday, so hopefully that will make the time pass quickly!

@ELM7 thank you for link- hopefully we will all be joining that soon!!

@GemLou88 i have never heard of coach trip but by the sounds of it I need to watch haha

@Fireflygirl have you had any symptoms? Or too early yet?

I am soooo excited to test tomorrow morning I dont think I will sleep 🤣🤣🤣

@MilsCookie AF is due next Friday, but I have short cycles so I'm only on CD20. That's based on a 27 day cycle, and mine have usually been shorter than that, but if I go by the app, I won't test too early ha ha, yeah right

I don't watch much reality TV - I'm more of a Netflix binge-watcher.

I was absolutely floored with my Pg last summer, and between horrendous pregnancy symptoms and the MC, I ended up off work for 6 weeks, most of which I could barely move out of bed. I watched the first 9 series of NCIS Los Angeles

I think there are still a few of us who aren't due to test until the end of the month.

Re 'Those Posters', I've been on other, long-running threads totally unrelated to ttc where we've had the same thing. I remember one popped up and a week later posted a picture of her supposedly newborn 6 week prem baby - she looked bigger than a full term baby, with such chubby cheeks there was no way she was prem! Poster disappeared after being called on it by another poster who was also a midwife. There's always one...

It’s mad to think that out of all the ladies on the last thread that were ttc after mc, there’s not many with their BFP yet! Can’t let it dishearten us though. It will happen.

I’ve been reading up and I think I’m ovulating late, so chances are there’s no point me testing at the end of Jan as it will be too early if I did. I’m CD 25 and had high/positive OPK readings the last 3 days so I’m hoping I’m ovulating today or tomorrow. So really can’t test until CD 40. It’s going to drag 😫

Loving all the coach trip chat. Probably the only reality tv I watch apart from I’m a celeb. Everyone at work is talking about Love Island but I don’t watch it

Yep it was BecsterG who had the BFP and set up the new thread. Here’s the link (if I’ve done it right) I’m hoping we get to join as at the mo no one else has posted to it.

Thank you - Made me smile with the always get that one who posts on the thread!

Haha love the thought of you having a little boy with a middle name after Coachtrip. Will remind you what kept you sane in this crazy TWW! 😂

Ooo I could give Brendan as a middle name if I have a boy in his honer 🙏

@Anny27 absolutely, no thread is complete on the conception boards without one of those 🙄

Becster had her bfp too :) she made a pregnancy thread but I couldn't find it

Hahaha @champoopapi always one of them 🤪🤪🤪

Or never seen them before on a longstanding thread and the first message is "just wanted to let you know here is my bfp just wanted to Give you hope " 🤣

And there's probably like one other person who popped up one day and then posted a bfp the next, there's always one of those 🙄😅

I think it was just didslysquiddlydoo and Cruser1 from our thread so far with bfp 🏳️‍🌈👣

@ELM7 Mr motivator is quite something isn't he 😆

@mlax January has been a very very long month for ttc and a very unlucky month for pregnancies generally. Especially as there are a fair few just a month or two post miscarriage, the body does need time to regulate which is very normal.

Bloody pain in the arse though!

@ChampooPapi you'd have thought more than 1 of us especially as there are so many of us who have had to go through what weve gone through 😔

Hopefully February is our months 🤞

Not gunna lie, I didn't give it my best shot at all this month, but this time round I am. I'm looking forward to it weirdly...

Thanks @mlax and sorry that AF arrived for both you and @BS9790. It’s just so rubbish that we have to go through this.

@champooPapi I think you are right that so far it’s just one BFP from the original thread with a few of us still to get our results one way or another so FC there are some BFPs still to come!

Just about to watch the Coach trip I’ve missed. Love the thought of walking down the street and seeing Brendon or Mr Motivator!

Also I've now watched so much coach trip this week that when I was out all day today everytime I saw anyone I thought they were from it 😆

@MilsCookie who actually ended up with a bfp from our other thread? Because of a couple of chemical pregnancys I feel like out of everyone it was only like one poster 😬

Surly the odds are for more then that by the end of the month!

I'm feeling very negative about our Saturday testing (resisted the urge to call it a pee party for obvious reasons).

But I've brought my first ever first response, never done one before so might as well then if I go on to February I'll go cold turkey on the tests and back to the old fashioned conceiving life .

Awwh sorry @BS9790 and @mlax that AF arrived :( take it easy today! It's always so rubbish when she turns up :(

@MilsCookie I got my bfp at 12dpo last time and I know i will feel i am out if I dont get positive tomorrow haha

Yep first AF for me, quite crampy and feel sick. Only 9dpo so wasn't expecting it yet, came as a bit of a shock!

I really feel for you @ELM7 I've been like that for the last week (I'm late by 8 days but finally made an appearance today) but before then, I was still having AF/pregnancy related symptoms.

I started spotting 2 days ago and now I'm bleeding but the pain is too much. Never been like this before so I feel you x
