Catching up - ttc after miscarriage part 3

Sending hugs @annny27
Not the greatest feeling the bfn 😟
But again still early. Not all is lost...

My opk is finally nearing peak. Maybe tonight
What about @Fizzl @Nuggetlover27 @scrumdiddly123 ?

I've been taking pregnacare original since I found out on Feb for my 1st one and continued with it even after my mmc. But thinking about taking just folic acid with vit D tablets instead as I think prenacare is giving me too much iron. Has anyone had any issues with pregnacare?

Hi everyone hope you're all well. I'm still ttc after my mmc in April. Had 2 regular cycles since and my 3rd which was supposed to start Friday or Saturday didn't come until today, I'm never late which is weird, was cramping for a week before with twinges in my side. All tests I've taken say bfn though so I'm thinking not my luck this month.

Oh no @Annny27 I’m sorry as I hate seeing the lack of lines. I really hoped the lack of symptoms was a good thing.

Aw no @Annny27, I'm so sorry. Maybe it's just too early still. But it's still so gutting where there's no line. Hopefully there may be one come up over the next couple of days.xx

@Fizzl thanks, ya I think I'll just need to not think about the last time at all if I can manage that!!

@Leok83 definitely a good plan for the scans! Where I go for acupuncture is the private clinic I found out about my MMC too. I thought I'd find it really hard going back but actually it was fine. When I had my scan there the other week I had a brief moment of thinking back to what happened last time I was in that room but it wasn't so bad and I soon forgot. Obviously it's been under different circumstances for me though and it's still going to cause some anxiety but hopefully not too much for you. A few months back I couldn't drive past that place without tearing up!

@SunnySideUp2020 I'm sure you won't be heading into a mammoth cycle like I had! But I think you're right about our bodies having other plans. I've come to the conclusion my body knew better than my brain and decided that the past 3 months were just not the right time 😑😂 I'm hoping they're on the same page now!

@Annny27 and @SunnySideUp2020 thanks, thought it might have sounded a bit full on looking for so many scans if I make it that far! there's a place close by alright which makes it very easy to organise, it's where I was scanned and found out about MMC so I'd say there'll be all sorts of anxiety going there again but it's worth it for the scan.

@Fizzl hoping it's a light to peak situation lime yours! Otherwise at this pace i will be ovulating on CD20 😅
That being said after your confused uterus, i am preparing myself for the worst case 🙃

Sometimes i really wonder if we just want it TOO much that our body just won't do it 🙄

Agree with Anny. Good plan for the scan @Leok83

And thanks for saying the opk is darker 😁
Did another one tonight and was the same.
So still not peaking... maybe for Monday

Sending positive vibes to you @Annny27 fingers crossed🤞

@SunnySideUp2020 I've seen loads of faint lines at later dates go on to be successful pregnancies too though!
Your opk is definitely looking darker to me so hopefully things moving along.

@Annny27 ya I definitely must have implanted 8DPO or earlier. Sorry had forgot to answer earlier when you asked about the scan..ya I will definitely try get early scan. Checking out dates though and as my MMC was at 9 weeks (bean stopped at 8w5d) a scan before that won't put my mind at ease much but my colleague is off for 2 weeks at start of when I'd be 9 weeks and I'll be sole charge at work so definitely not a good time to get bad news. So because of this I think I'll prob get an 8 week scan and another 11 week scan as soon as she's back and then wait for the 12 week scan which may be a bit later than 12 from what I've read. Sorry that's a very long winded answer!!
The very best of luck for tomorrow ☘️ 🤞🤞

@Annny27 @Leok83 your 9dpo was miy 15 dpo... something must have been wrong then!!! Probs super low hcg from the start

My opk isnt much darker today 😔
I accepted that it will be a late ovulation anyway... we are definitely all kind of cycle buddies

@Fizzl again sorry not against!! Bloody autocorrect!!

@Fizzl ya it would be so nice to be able to enjoy an anxiety free pregnancy but none of us will get that now. I'm just trying to stay away from all the stuff like the apps that tell you what fruit size your baby is and that because I just want to try and take each day as it comes. Think it's the only way to keep anxiety controlled.
I'm glad ur feeling chilled this cycle and hopefully the accupuncture works it's wonders against getting you a nice early ovulation!

Ooh laddies @SunnySideUp2020 @scrumdiddly123 @ELM7 @Nuggetlover27 looks like hopefully ovulation very soon for you all!!

@Annny27 I've everything crossed for you for the next BFP on Monday!🤞🤞
I tested again yesterday and still looking strong!
Wanted to test this morning but was up peeing every couple of hours, I'm actually better at holding the pee during the day so I'll try and get one later today with a longer hold!

I'm scared to make it onto the graduate thread yet!!
Bottom one is yesterday's 11DPO.

Morning everyone 😄

@Leok83 ah that's lovely! I do get the cautiousness tho. We've already accepted that any future pregnancy is going to be slightly tainted with anxiety and we've lost the nativity of being able to just be excited which I actually feel quite bitter about! I'm sure as time goes on he will get there.

@SunnySideUp2020 I hope ovulation isn't too delayed for you! My opk's usually just suddenly go from being very negative to almost positive but that's normal for me.

@Annny27 good luck testing tomorrow! I really hope you get some good news. It feels like we all finally deserve it after how long we've been going through this now.

I'm just waiting for af to finally disappear and hoping and praying ovulation happens on time this month! I normally ovulate slightly later around CD18 so my acupuncturist has scheduled my next session with her for cd14 and I'm hoping that might make something happen a little sooner 🤞

I'm actually feeling quite chilled at the minute and excited to be able to start again! I can't believe it's almost a year since we last fell (sept). Where has the time gone?! It's quite sad and frustrating, sort of feels like everything has just been delayed by a year.

@scrumdiddly123 CD11 here and OPK are very faint but better than being blank.

Trying for positive thinking this month with the mantra of it will be our month for a BFP! But this cycle is going so slowly already so am dreading the TWW feel it’s really going to drag

Oh @Annny27 really hope you are our next BFP in the group.

What i mean is most of ladies get bfn early but later get their bfp!

wise decision!
I think Leok was an extraordinary early clear positive but most likely at 9 dpo is not gonna be your final answer...🤞🌈
