TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 7)

@VP91x Most likely the same spotting... pma! Try and put all those negative thoughts to the back of your mind 😘

Good plan just keep dtd to be covered @MichT4 I would do the same - all the holding and not drinking etc is hard work! I think you can be pretty confident in the peak you had.

@Pugprincess Hopefully you aren't waiting too long 🤞🏼 is it one or two weeks since your miscarriage? I think the earliest women ovulate again after complete mc is about 2 weeks. I had also wondered about day of negative test as being cd1 - when I last spoke to EPU she said I would get af 4-5 weeks after my first negative test so could be waiting a while for me yet. I'm hoping the flashies mean I'll ovulate at some point this week though.

Was your mc natural did you say? I think that with a missed mc the hormones take longer to leave the system than with natural mc as the levels would already have been in decline when the mc started. My body didn't recognise the mc at all (no pain, no spotting whatsoever) so hormones were still rising right up until the procedure. It's all so much more complicated then you think isn't it 🙈

@VP91x 🍸🍸🍸 cheers! It's not even 10 🥳

@VP91x nope, not having that. Put it to the back of your mind, could easily be the same spotting working it's way out. Stay positive xx

Last nights slow cooked beef casserole and giant homemade Yorkshire ❤️

My chin, my back, my arms, my forehead, everything so spotty so just shows how hormonal I am atm. I’m going food shopping for some more healthy dinners in a bit and I’m just going to wear my mask to cover my chin up 😂

Morning ladies, little update from me, my preg test this morn us still really faint but not showing up on camera so it’s got to be going. That’s on my 10 ones so I think tomorrow using hospital 25 one that should be neg so hopefully I don’t need to ring them and this last little bit of hcg will pee off soon. In day 14 today and I would usually ovulate around now but no signs of that. I’m wondering if some of our bodies start their cycle day one from after negative preg tests. I think I might be in for a long wait like you guys @Northernsoul90 and @MrsK21 x

@VP91x you can do this, but also we really want to know....😂
I've got such good feelings for this month, I hope you're feeling that too! xx

@Northernsoul90 I think I've read 4 hours, and that's what I try and do, but I sometimes just do 3 or whatever I can, especially if I haven't drunk anything.

@2020wish @VP91x I think you're right and I'll stop testing. I might sneak one in occasionally if I've managed to hold, but I'm not going to drink less etc to do them.
Will DTD today anyway, so probably no point. Maybe every other day would do just to make sure there's no second peak, or start them again if my temps were to drop.

@2020wish @MichT4 @VP91x Thanks ladies, I will stop now! It's probably an indent as you say or the tail end of very low levels which wouldn't really be classed as anything. @SmileyT has told me about baseline hcg levels as well which could be a possibility.

Yes @MichT4 I'm going to do a cheapy in a little while - how long do you not drink/pee for before you test? I was trying to wait 2 hours but some say 4?!

@VP91x I am the worst person for POAS (as you've probably gathered from all the one steps 🙈) and kind of secretly want you to test but definitely stick to your plan and wait for Saturday it's just more limbo and stress if not xx

@MichT4 I would honestly stop testing and just DTD. May help u de stress a bit as stressing can mess everything up. Honestly I felt so relaxed this cycle and it’s worked.

@VP91x I still want u to test tho lol only cause I can’t help myself, but yes ur more likely to get get bfn over a BFP the earlier u test

@2020wish I'm fine thank you. Obviously would love to know exactly what is going on, but asking too much 😂. Just have to wait and see.
Working at home today again, and another beautiful day it looks like.
Much planned for you today?

@Northernsoul90 I agree best to stop testing, you'll drive yourself mad trying to study the lines. Are you going to take a normal OPK later?

@Northernsoul90 not seeing anything! Deffo put them done as negatives as it could be indents ur seeing. X

Lovely line progression @2020wish totally understand your feelings though. I have everything crossed for you that all I well and healthy xx

Thank you , that's a good idea. I think I'm going to drive myself insane if I don't draw the line under testing at some point! Hopefully it is just evap line anyway. I've attached a pic of the tests but I don't think anything can really be seen on pics.

@MichT4 how r u today x

I totally understand @2020wish. It'll always be an anxious time getting past those dates. I really hope it goes quickly for you, I have everything crossed it'll all be ok this time round xx

@MichT4 in my head I know I shouldn’t but in may with the chemical I had I just know it can change so fast. In may I had clear blue positive digital tests at 11dpo and turn neg by 13dpo so once I get over this hurdle, then 7 weeks hurdle I’ll feel more relaxed as I’ve bypassed my two previous losses x

@Northernsoul90 it could be indents on the tests? I would stop now since a camera isn’t picking it up and u are getting ur flashy smiley. Maybe take another pregnancy test after u have ovulated so I know what ur baseline is before u start testing around 10/12dpo x

Lovely progression @2020wish. I don't think you have to worry about AF arriving xx

@SmileyT glad you were ok today walking past the clinic xx

@MichT4 hoping u have ovulated also and in ur tww!

I’m good. Feeling very positive. Af due between today and fri depending on the app so will still be nervous until she’s officially late. Poas every morning on cheap tests just to make sure there is progression so it’s keeping me sane. Lines are getting stronger every day. Where as they were never this strong or even showing up before. think I’m 13/14dpo today here is my line progression on pinks from 9dpo as they were negative from 7dpo when I got the positive on the clear blue. The blue sticks are the less sensitive ones that require 25/50 mui I believe, only started them 4 days ago so line progression is good on them also.
