Starting TTC again after missed miscarriage

@RosieJess91 Did you test this morning? If you're pregnant and it is progressing then going by your dates, pregnancy tests should be showing clear lines by now. Digital CB should also pick it up now.

Unfortunately there are very limited services offered by GPs and most EPUs right now, very frustrating.

@Ranoutofgoodnames I did in my last pregnancy up until 12 weeks, sadly the MC happened anyway. I didn't feel any different on progesterone, just had the pregnancy symptoms. It might affect you emotionally, early pregnancy is a hormonal and emotional roller-coaster. Nothing to worry about.

@rosiejess hope you get some answers soon. It all sounds very stressful

Phoned my GP, they're not allowed to do blood tests at the moment, and EPU have said they aren't allowed to offer early scans at the moment either. Said I can go private, but to just treat it like I am pregnant, and hope for the best. If I did have a CP I should have AF on 1st July. So will just have to wait and see.
Not definite on dates, but I know my last proper AF was on 3rd May, first one since the MMC, then on 31st May, when I was 1 day late, I took 3 pregnancy tests, all positive. Then on the 4th June, I bled from 10am through until 11am the next day, then it all stopped. So I could have ovulated later in May, and the 4th June could have been a IB, but I think it's unlikely?
I'm not sure if it's baby brain or I've just driven myself insane, but I went to take the washing out of the oven earlier and put the knives away in the fridge?

@skyblue20 no not yet. Few more cramps yesterday but that's all.

If I go off my usual cycle its not due till the 24th but I know miscarriages can send them AWOL the first few cycles

Afternoon all! How's everyone doing today?

@ew1990 Has AF showed her face?

@RosieJess91 Have you called the doc? Hope you get answers soon!

I got really annoyed last night (internally) as we went to bed really late for no real reason and didn't DTD and tonight we have plans that mean we'll be in bed late again but we must fit it in - we haven't DTD since Sunday night and I'd ideally be every other day, every three days at most. Must get in to the habit of going to bed early (we are definite night owls)!

Has anyone ever taken progesterone supplements?? I am all over the place emotionally and don’t have a clue what’s going on

@RosieJess91 it does sound positive if you have all the symptoms! Are you definitely sure on your dates? I'm not sure how accurate home tests are so if you can get a blood test done that might be better to put your mind at rest?

@Ranoutofgoodnames I'm feeling the stick shame too after this month's OPKs, I bought the plastic kind and I hate how much landfill I'm creating, think if I have to do this for more months I'll just buy the cheap paper ones.

@Smilingdonkey that sounds really positive! I don't often notice ovulation pain at all but I do usually notice increase in sex drive and boobs feel fuller?! Fingers crossed for you!

Still no ovulation here yet, I'm on CD9 now and last time ovulated on CD8 so I'm hopeful this just means my cycle is going back to something longer/more normal. But before my pregnancy I never caught a positive ovulation test, so I think maybe my hormone levels are low or my spike is very short!

Morning ladies!

@Smilingdonkey hurray for ovulation. I think you'll have ovulated yesterday sometime. 2 days before and day of is great timing! Got everything crossed for you!

And I daren't think about how many sticks I have peed on, between 4 pregnancies, opks and hpts - must be hundreds!

@Ranoutofgoodnames don't get me started. In the last 2 month's I must have peed on about 30 or 40... it's really not good!!

I mean let’s never count up the amount of sticks we have all peed on. The shame 😂😂😂

@sabtom I can confirm that I peed on an opk the same day as I peed on a hcg test to see if this was right and both turned positive. Opk wasn’t Peak ovulation positive but there and quite dark

(I meant hips, not hope...)

Had a busy few days.
Still getting confusing test results. Negative digital. Positive One Steps. Very faint though, all at different times of the day.
If I'm right, I'd be 6 weeks by now, surely they'd be darker and digital would be positive. If that was a CP I wouldn't be getting any positives.
Going to phone the GP tomorrow, see if they can do a blood test or something before I go completely insane. Not sure I can wait another 2 weeks to check if AF appears...
My neighbour said she continued having AF for 4 months, but pregnancy continued normally. And has a 47 year old daughter to prove it.
Feel pregnant, bloated, nausea, boobs are HUGE! Hope and pelvis are aching like hell.
Someone just give me an answer, please!! 😭😭

@ranoutofgoodnames great news on your blood tests, I'd love it if you stayed around!

I'm on CD 12 today but husband still not feelong great and we think his infection was caused by a UTI so dont think we should be having sex until it clears. No idea when I'll ovulate, had some egg whote discjarge yesterday (though tinged with blood?) and increased sex drive too so think it might be soon. Not using OPKs. Think we might miss our chance this month. To be honest though this month I'd just be happy with my husband getting better as its been pretty stressful since his op!

Ahh. I guess there's no point wasting the opk sticks this month then

@sabtom @ew1990 is right, lh and hcg are really similar, and opks will pick up hcg.

@Sabtom I'm pretty sure opks can pick up hcg. I'm sure I've seen threads where people have used OPKs as a pregnancy test

So today I'm on CD7 if you count my MVA procedure as CD1, first day where (touch wood) I've had no cramps and only one small spot of blood. So I did a hcg test and ovulation test just to check and this was the result. Is that normal to have a high opk and positive hcg test at the same time? Still haven't DTD yet.
