TTC after MC - July 2020 (Thread 7)

@fafi @MichT4 thank you xx

@SmileyT Thank you so much, I will def try again on Tuesday, or maybe even later if I can bear it 😬xx

@VP91x my OPK is lighter this morning which I am oddly happy about. I think endless high but not peak was making me wonder what was going on. Hopefully now this is a clear out of hormones and I can actually see progress if and when it gets darker to peak.

@2020wish congratulations 🥰

@Mommybear05 snap!! First one ☝️ I had a blank circle yesterday though and this today. Anyone else had that? I didn’t take any last week. Have just taken on yday and one today. Xx

@VP91x how are you? Apart from being told off for your outrageous behaviour xx

@VP91x I'm fine thank you. I've cleaned the downstairs loo. Must crack on with the rest 😂. It looks pretty grey here but OH is set on a bbq for his parents. Means I don't have to cook I suppose xx

@MichT4 @SmileyT @2020wish @Rainbowhope11
They have told me to test by Thursday 23rd so that’s 2 weeks since mc and to call on that day if still positive. Hopefully they won’t be bothered cause it’s only faint. I’m assuming they meant if it was still strong but I will defo let them know if this is still happening by Thursday. Can you ovulate while still having a small amount of hcg in you? I’m tempted to DTD daily atm until we get lazier and then switch to every other. Be interesting if I get AF if anything else comes out too like @chloedancer897 passed some still didn’t you, x

@SmileyT and @MichT4 thank you. Hope you are both doing well x

Morning ladies. Had a little lie in so I'm worried I won't reply to everyone but I'll try.

@VP91x sod the drop, FF has a line on it, and you're above it. So you ovulated and that's that 🤪

@2020wish please please stop testing hun. It's not going to help at all. When I went for my scan, I had done 3 tests over the week, and I asked the nurse if I should do more and she blankly said no. She said it only causes stress, and something made me actually listen. It won't give you answers, and only makes you more anxious. I hate how much pregnancy joy is sapped our after MC but always remember that unless you know otherwise, there's a baby growing in there and that's all you need to know. Worrying won't stop anything from happening, but it will make it so much less exciting which is what it should be. Also, sex and exercise etc won't hurt the baby, so try and carry on as normal as much as you can. I think the less you do that is normal, the more stress that is too.

@TJM123 sorry for your loss. Still early for you so I hope you get your bfp in a few days time.

@Mommybear05 congrats on the static. Have fun the next few days 🍆💦

@Pugprincess EPU told me to test 3 weeks after the MC was confirmed and if it was positive I had to call and have a scan. How long ago was yours? If longer then I agree to call EPU and make sure all the tissue has gone.

@Renna I agree with @VP91x. Hold for a bit and do another or do it tomorrow morning. Going twice with no real hold could be too dilute.

@Rainbowhope11 it's great you have the provera lined up. Hopefully it'll kick start everything for you. Sorry to ready about your family pregnancy, it's really tough (my sister told me a few weeks after my MC and they weren't trying). Just think it'll be you really soon

@Doughnut100 welcome back, and fingers crossed for some lovely line progression for you

xx

Welcome @TJM123 and sorry for your loss, if AF isn't due until the 25th definitely test again as will probably be too early to see a positive, could you try again on Tuesday? x

@VP91x femometer completely stopped liking me the last 2 cycles, didn't have cover lines on main page so just had to add in ovulation manually. I'm good apart from stressing about work for tomorrow already, it's going to be another mental week but then should calm down after that. what have you got planned for today? Bit grey over here but just did a little 15min workout so feeling slightly more productive than yesterday x

@Pugprincess 2 weeks after surgery I had a faint positive and ovulated a couple days later and then at 4weeks it was negative when I tested before AF was due x

@Mommybear05 yay to a static this makes me so happy 🙏🙏🙏 I know you are always DTD regularly but good to know what's going on in there, you going to take tomorrow as ovulation? x

@Renna I'm so sad for you let yourself cry and feel sad it's totally understandable this ttc lark is horrible, I'm sending you loads of love x

@Rainbowhope11 sorry it's been a hard few days, so hard hearing about other people getting those BFPs especially if they have said they have taken a step back x

@2020wish I've noticed more aches and twinges and some in my hips early on but they seem to have really subsided now and I'm 24dpo just more heaviness down there. With exercise I think they just say you don't want to get so out of breath you can't talk but exercise is great for body and mind if you enjoy it, so definitely get that indoor bike if it's a way to stay healthy and active and no chance of falling on an indoor bike x

@Rebecca1992 ooh I've got my scan booked for the August 7th not too long for us to wait x

@Doughnut100 I did read that we can have a baseline level of hcg of up to around 5 which can make it confusing with the really sensitive tests... but hope your line progresses tomorrow x

Hi everyone, some familiar names here, I've been away for a while for my sanity. Congratulations to those of you with BFPs!

(TTC #1, 2 x mmc at 12w, 1 x ectopic in between)

I'm 9dpo and pulled veeeeery faint lines yesterday afternoon and this morning. I would call them indents but I've used easy@home tests for ages and they don't do indents.

It's 12 weeks since my last mc and I'm not certain it's not still residual hcg. Last cycle I was still pulling vvvvvfls like this and I'm kicking myself for not saving the tests to compare.

I had a HyCoSy last week and surely she would have noticed if I had retained products? She said my uterus was normal. Perhaps I now have a slightly elevated baseline hcg. The tests are 10miu so this could maybe be 6.

I'll be biting my nails until I can compare tomorrow's test. DP is in a terrible mood about work and is clearly dreading me being pregnant again which doesn't help.

@2020wish So happy for you! I had to give myself a talking to about testing the other day, it was like I was testing several times a day for line progression on different brands, I think it was more anxiety because of last month but was AF was due to arrive I've stopped.

I found myself constantly thinking about it, which isn't good.

I've booked an early scan for august 5th for reassurance and out of habit as I had them on my other 2 kids.

Morning ladies
@VP91x @2020wish no not tested yet will get one just to check. I think it might be a GP call if it carries on. AF was heavy as it usually is so know it was AF if that makes sense. This is much lighter not spotting but not full on AF more like the tail end. Wish I could see what was going on inside my body x

@VP91x rooting for ur BFP this month!!

@VP91x technically around 13 dpo. I really was hoping that AF arrived on her own. But I've come to terms with the fact that I probably need a bit of help.

I'm thrilled that the soy seems to have worked for you! I may try it as well if the Provera doesn't help. Xx

@fafi thank you.
For those ladies that do exercise or planning to start.. I brought a bike last year, this week for my birthday if I didn’t get my BFP I was going to ask for an indoor bike trainer to be able to cycle my bike indoors with watching a movie lol do u think I could still ask for that and do like 20 mins a day and built up? Would it be safe?

@Rainbowhope11 keeping my fingers crossed for you still x

@Rebecca1992 I’m cd 27, 11dpo. Got first BFP on 8dpo. Af due on wed. Feeling very hungry and nauseated past two days even when I eat the hunger doesn’t subside

@2020wish I'm CD31 today 17dpo, I got a squinted on 8dpo and a clearer faint positive 9dpo, I've compulsively tested since then maybe because of last time but I'm going to stop now.

Where are u at in your cycle?

@2020wish thank you hun! I don't have high hopes, I mostly want to test so that I can start the Provera.

@VP91x honestly my chart did that. I'm sure if FF marks your ovulation and adds the cover line it's pretty sure you ovulated x

@2020wish as hard as it is, try not to worry. Maybe limit testing to once per week so you're not constantly thinking about it? Or stop all together! Going for a walk / listening to podcasts is good advice. And don't be afraid of exercise! It's very good for you and there aren't really any limits this early in pregnancy - just don't get yourself excessively out of breath.

In terms of Google I ask my OH to do it now so he can be a moderator and reasonable thinker!

@TJM123 welcome to the group and sorry for your loss 😔 we're all in the same boat here and there is so much support for your TTC journey.

@Mommybear05 congratulations on your first positive ovulation test! Get on it! 🍆

@renna awww love I'm so sorry about your BFN 😢 do try again tomorrow xx
