TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 6)

@MichT4 I'm so so sorry!! Sending you lots of love ❤ Take care of yourself x

Hay everyone. Just an update from me - not good news, hcg has dropped by almost half. It’s what I expected but I’d held onto some hope and we are devastated. Can’t work out what the problem is, it’s heartbreaking.
Thank you all for being lovely and caring xx

@Bellabubble I figure the FRER should pick it up by 12DPO so I'm going to test. At least when you test early, you can tell yourself it could be a false negative. I tested last month and it actually softened the blow for me when AF came because I knew to expect it then. Whereas when I just wait for AF and it comes with a vengeance, it hits me really hard

@CherryBx I feel exactly the same. One day I'm convinced and the next I think I'm completely deluded! Fx for us all this month x

@chloedancer897 i’ll be 12dpo then too!! Although I think I have scarred myself lol!

@chloedancer897 it's so hard not to keep testing isn't it but I'm going to fight the urge until the day my af is due. I'm feeling very crampy today one day I think I am then I feel like I'm not. Hopefully we all get some bfp's over the next week fingers crossed xx

@Bellabubble lol yes thank you! The last few days of TWW are the worst aren't they? I might test with FRER on Wednesday, I'll be 12DPO by the.

@Northernsoul90 @VP91x thsnk you ladies - i’m going to be mich stonger from now on lol!! Thsnk god I have one week left at school - I am always so manic in the morns that I won’t have time to poas until sat now!!

@chloedancer897 thank you too - it is reassuring to know you can get a bfp after a bfn!! Also - I am so glad I helped you not poas today 😂 xx

@Bellabubble @CherryBx I'm 9DPO today and was literally just about to post that I'm dying to POAS but I'll wait now! It's too early. When I got pregnant with my MC, all my tests were negative until I got my positive at 14DPO so don't lose hope yet. The wait is so difficult though!

@VP91x I couldn’t believe how stable your temps were. I think mentally it helps that you’ve been referred and you have the private tests in your back pocket. I guess when you know either way you are moving in the right direction, the pressure comes off slightly. It’s really good, and I think you’ll notice the difference for sure 🥰

Roast sounds delightful. I need to get into a Sunday lunch routine I think xx

@VP91x I’m laying on the sofa at the moment, OH is working. We will probably do something when he finishes and after some lunch. No idea what though. Are you up to much?

Fingers crossed it’s fertile week. You’ve seemed so much more relaxed this month and I think it’s a great thing xx

@Bellabubble @Northernsoul90 thank you

@VP91x she just said this afternoon, or could be tomorrow morning if there’s no one testing 😳. She said she thought there would be though.
I feel ok, still no boob pain really but I do feel sick - probably nerves. I’m happy I’ll know soon, but sad to think this could be the last few hours I can say I’m pregnant. Will just see I suppose.

How are you? xx

@MichT4 Thinking of you today lovely, I'm praying that your bloods come back with a good result 🙏🏼💕

@Bellabubble @CherryBx I have never tested until either the day af is due or the day after, imo I think 9 and 10 dpo is still early and I'm just not an early tester - the hormones may still be too low to detect on a test and then surge quite quickly. I know some ladies get positives at that point but it depends on individual cycles and when implantation happens as well so don't lose hope just yet until af arrives 🤞🏼🤞🏼. Sorry for your loss @CherryBx 💖

@SmileyT @MichT4 thank you ladies!! I think I may have scared myself into waiting for af lol!! I did the clearblue when to test and it said Weds was the earliest (probably should have checked the website before cracking open the test 😂) My luteal phase is 14days but can be plus/minus 2 according to natural cycles - so Friday is when af is due, but it could be between then and Sunday - the female body is so confusing!! xx

@fafi ahh they are cute names too - hehe - I but they looked cool with a mohawk!! Thank you for the reassurance! I used one of the clear blue early detection tests, that says from 6days before your missed period - so if I have a 28day cycle I’d be due on Friday - but I have had 29/30 day cycles too. Fingers crossed there’s still a chance - it’s been 5cycles since mc trying for my first - but am 36 so a little worried about age! xx

@MichT4 thinking of you today - hopefully they get back to you quick with answers xx

@SmileyT @MrsK21 @Baba458 @fafi @Dipsy77 @2020wish thank you all 💕

I’ve had the blood test so now I have to wait. I saw a couple leave with their baby, and heard a hysterical lady in the room next to me who was in pain and was having her first of two hcg blood tests. Emotional morning!

How is everyone?

@Bellabubble sorry it was a bfn, but no issues with caving here. Time seems to slow down at the end of the TWW so I don’t blame you. Hoping it’s just early!

@CherryBx welcome to the group and sorry for your journey. Again, let’s hope it’s just too early this month and you get your bfp soon xx

@VP91x yeah it's the one that used to be in mothercare ☺️ ooh interesting you've had a little temp rise, but as always you can never tell what's going on properly until way after ovulation, keeps us entertained though doesn't it 😂 I'm feeling okay trying so desperately to stay positive but it's bloody hard 🙈

@HopeForRainbowbaby enjoy you've had a lovely time away aswell x

@Bellabubble don't feel bad for POAS it doesn't do any harm and just stay hopeful, when will you test again? x

@CherryBx hi and so sorry for your loss, you could definitely get a +ve test at a later date as every pregnancy can be different, fingers crossed for you x

Thinking of you @MichT4 hope all goes ok xx

@Rebecca1992 congratulations! I'm so excited for you! Fingers crossed for a sticky healthy bean.

@chloedancer897 I'm reasonably fit and for each of my two early pregnancies this year I was very short of breath early on and I don't even have asthma! So I definitely think it's a symptom.

@MichT4 thinking of you this morning xxx

@Bellabubble Ned is such a cute name for a guinea pig! I had two when I was about 19 and they were called acorn and chestnut, loved them so much! Such characters. They were long haired and I used to trim it into a mohawk! Was your pregnancy test a FRER? It could deffo be a false negative at this point so don't worry xx

@CherryBx Good morning, I think we are all in similar situations tbh. I have two children and we been trying for our 3rd for the last two years with no luck so far. I've just turned 40 so I'm starting to worry it's just not going to happen for us.

@MichT4 good luck today. Sending lots of hope and best wishes your way xx
