Recent MC - New cycles & trying again

Thanks @Neady1980 and @Ralala... I have somewhat depleted my test stash so I'm defo gonna wait! I still don't really believe it but it is a clear line and there is no dubiety in person it is defo pink! I did get negative tests so it would defo not be residual hcg from my MMC.

I just don't understand why I haven't had a rise in RHR like last time, I find that strange but maybe that's to come!

Just have to wait and see which is the worst part of all!

Thanks to everyone who commented and sorry if I got a bit crazy, this whole thing is a giant mind fuck isn't it!!

Girls totally off subject I just heard from the Daft Punk tune Get Lucky. The lyrics made me smile and thought we all want to get lucky so can be our theme tune when we need cheering up xxx

@Pettylamby I can see a line. Have you had negatives on a frer before this test? If you have been negative before then this looks very promising ...

@Pettylamby I definitely see it aswell with a bit of pink colour in it. Get a different brand and test again or leave it for a couple of days and re-test. Oh I so hope it's a positive for you, I really do

LADIES...

right... Don't ask me why but I decided to take another with SMU...

LOOK!

I didn't even adjust the pic??

Could it be?? Even without any rise in my RHR!??

@Pettylamby I definitely see colour too!! I've read a lot on amazon about fake ones but I think you could tell they were fake from from wrapping. I'd definitely try with another brand! You should start to get a squinter on an IC by tomorrow! I'm assuming you've had negative FRERs since the mc?

The pic would help.. My phones playing up today!

Here is an adjusted pic with the contrast and saturation turned right up, taken seconds after I broke it open! In this one I do see that the saturation has picked up a bit of pink on the line! Still think it's a big old fake tho and AF will appear tomorrow or very shortly after! So annoyed that these stupid FRERs... I used to trust them but from a quick Google a lot of people have problems with them! 😭

@LauraT94 looks like good line progression. Everything crossed for you.

@Pettylamby I see what you mean with the line. I always heard FRER were quite good at not having evap lines. Have you tried with any other brand tests at all? Might be worth taking a few days away from testing and see what happens and test again after a break if nothing in that time x

@AMS19 - 10dpo today! Pre MC period would be due tomorrow but who knows what will happen now!

I know, it is pretty obvious in person but as I said I had the same thing two days ago (posted on another thread before this one was created) and then the next day stark white so I just don't believe it! 😂

@mellous thing is I had the same thing two days ago and no progression so I KNOW in my rational head that an indent is exactly what it is! I did think to myself it looked every so slightly tinged pink but then it's difficult to really tell with that big pink control line right next to it! My RHR has stayed low as well so that's a big indicator that not a lot is happening! I have had cramping on/off but I can't decide if thats anxiety or just my body gearing up for a period!

It's very frustrating and I should have just stepped away from the tests! 🙄

@Pettylamby I have the absolute WORST line eyes and I can definitely see that line. Generally I would have said FRER are pretty good for not having EVAPs...what DPO are you?

Yay @LauraT94! Definately getting darker!

Well... After saying i wouldn't bother obviously I POAS this morning and FRER throwing up another what I think to be horrible little evap line! Never had these before always used to get stark white ones and now I've had two evaps in a week! Anyone else had this stress with FRERs?

I'll post a pic but it's really difficult to get a clear pic of it but it's so obvious in real life! 🙄

@LauraT94 the line definitely is getting darker.

I remember when I was pregnant following my first miscarriage I kept feeling bad for testing everyday and I think this added to my stress. I think it’s only natural to accept that following a loss you will want to test everyday and don’t beat yourself up for doing it and having that hope every time you see those two lines. Hope is so powerful so don’t lose that feeling xxxx

@LauraT94 amazing line progression!! All looks perfect. I have absolutely everything crossed for you!! Xx

@LauraT94 looks good 🌈🌈 oh I have everything crossed for you. Hopefully you can start to celebrate the good news soon xx

Good progression this morning! I'm having moments of feeling positive (this could be it) and then moments of berating myself for getting hopeful!

@TTC94 I'm really sorry for your loss and I'm hoping you catch quickly this time! It's definitely nerve wracking 😬

@angc30

Thank you for your kind words!

I have been trying to take the positives from being pregnant and then miscarrying, but I admit it has been difficult to!

I’m so sorry to hear of your recurrent miscarriages! What are the Doctors saying?! I hope they find an answer and a solution soon so that you can have your rainbow baby!

Xxx

@TTC94 sorry to hear about your miscarriage and your ttc journey

We were actively trying for 7 months before our first BFP. I miscarried at 5 weeks and then conceived straight after without waiting. Hopefully you're not waiting long for your next BFP. Even with a miscarriage you're more likely to carry a pregnancy than to miscarry again (not that that fact has ever helped my nerves lol)

Mine ended up not being good news but my gp and the fertility specialist think there's something else going on for us as I've had 3 or 4 losses in the last 12 months so please don't take my bad luck as a negative xx

@LauraT94 thanks so much I have had a look and will give it a whirl xx

@AMS19 I have found an acupuncturist near me who also works for the Zita West clinic so if you benefit from it then I’m going to give it a whirl xx

Hello ladies,

I hope you don’t mind me joining your thread.

I’ve been off the pill since March 20 and ‘not trying but trying’ since then. I’ve been actively trying since about August 20 (this is when I started tracking ovulation).

I had my BFP on 19th February but just a few days later I had bleeding and suffered an early miscarriage. I was about 5 weeks.

My husband and I have decided to try again (before I have a period). I have just counted the first day of my miscarriage as the first day of my period.

I too feel so overwhelmingly down and sad when I see all of the announcements on Facebook/Instagram - both from celebrities and people I know in real life.

In the past 12 months, it’s no exaggeration that someone I know has announced a pregnancy once a week! Sometimes more!

I’m 27 and my husband is 29 and neither of us ever truly appreciated how difficult it was going to be trying for a baby. I’ve found it so emotionally draining. And now I’ve had a BFP and a miscarriage. Well if I’m ever lucky enough to get a BFP again, I’ll be a total bag of nerves.

It’s lovely to see some of the BFPs on this thread. Congratulations!

I am anticipating my ‘peak’ (I use Clearblue Ovulation tests) will be either tomorrow (Monday) or Tuesday. Period should be due 22nd/23rd March.

I don’t have much hope though as it took me quite a while last time.

Sending positive vibes to you all xxx

Just waiting for my self-test lateral flow COVID result and it's just like waiting for a line on a pregnancy test I'm a teacher so back to school tomorrow...
