@DMT1982 days past ovulation

Pettylamby · 07/03/2021 08:36

Ah @AMS19 I only have a 10day luteal phase so really not expecting anything now! Period is due on Tuesday! I'm actually okay with a BFN this month, I'm just glad to be in this position of being able to try again! This has been such a long drawn out process since my last BFP in November.. But I have to be thankful that I'm here and through the worst and not where I was even a month ago or two.months ago stuck in horrible limbo land!

DMT1982 · 07/03/2021 08:35

Ladies excuse my thickness but what does DPO mean? I’ve seen it loads but never actually worked out what it means? Xx

SuzieDeLaTour · 07/03/2021 08:33

@Pettylamby aww sorry to hear it’s a negative for you lovely. It’s horrid when you get false hope but like @AMS19 said it’s still early days. I still haven’t ovulated (first proper cycle since MMC after beast period!) and I’m growing so impatient. I just want everything to get on with it and be able to join that BFP ladies too 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

AMS19 · 07/03/2021 08:29

@Pettylamby still early days lovely. But...I must say I feel so much better trying after my beast of a period. I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle, temps are all over the shot and I'm still randomly spotting. But I'm hoping next cycle my body will be back to some sort of normality!

AMS19 · 07/03/2021 08:28

@LauraT94 scans will definitely help ❤❤ my only hope is if I fall pregnant again it measuring right will help a bit as mine was always measuring a week behind, and obviously I knew the exact day I ovulated so seemed odd to be behind. Unfortunately given I saw a heartbeat that won't help me 😔 but I think even getting past the time when the last one passed away would be a huge milestone. Just take it week by week and break down each milestone. First milestone is period due date, and that's a day or two away. Then next milestone can be getting to 5 weeks and past chemical territory and that's not too long either!!

SuzieDeLaTour · 07/03/2021 08:28

@LauraT94 ahhh I can see the lines!! Amazing!! Our second BFP! Congratulations my darling! This is definitely turning into a lucky thread 🤗🤗

Pettylamby · 07/03/2021 08:20

Yayyyyyy @LauraT94!! Those are definite lines cycle twin! So happy for you! 🌈❤️

Mine was a proper BFN today which i kind of expected, damn stupid tests with indent lines giving me false hope the other day! 🙄 I'm resigned to the fact this isn't my month and hopefully get the beast period to sort things out and start again fresh!

Tamalama · 07/03/2021 08:16

@LauraT94 it's natural to feel nervous and hopefully if I get a BFP within the next couple of months I know I'll feel exactly the same, but I guess you just have to try and treat this pregnancy as a brand new one where it's all going to be ok 😊

Tamalama · 07/03/2021 08:14

@AMS19 thank you. Yes I thought it was from getting a BFP too. There doesn't appear to be a reason for my miscarriages (although they were going to be doing tests on my 10 week old twins) and I have to call the EPU for the results in a couple of weeks, but I have been warned they may not find any reason as to why it happened) so I'll try anything, including the baby aspirin.

LauraT94 · 07/03/2021 08:13

@dippyegg32 I'm CD24, or 9dpo. Or 3+2 haha! 🤞🏻🌈

@AMS19 it's such a weird feeling. I'm sure once I've had some scans etc I'll feel better? I didn't even get to see my little beans heartbeat last time so I'm looking forward to that moment ❤️

AMS19 · 07/03/2021 08:08

@LauraT94 I would be the same. Getting a BFP feels me with dread now rather than excitement. Not entirely sure how to shift my mindset at all!

@Tamalama from the research I've done on it you start it from when you get a BFP. Taking it from 12 weeks is to prevent pre eclampsia I believe. But if you're taking incase you have sticky blood it's from BFP

dippyegg32 · 07/03/2021 08:03

What cd are you @LauraT94 ? It'll feel a long time for sure but every day that passes will be closer to your rainbow.

LauraT94 · 07/03/2021 07:56

@AMS19 @dippyegg32 @Mellous @Tamalama thank you all ❤️

Tbh I'm terrified!! Don't get me wrong I'm excited at the idea this one could stick, but obviously given previous experience I'm convinced it won't. I'll book an early scan for 8 weeks but it's going to be a long 5 weeks to get to that point!!

Tamalama · 07/03/2021 07:49

I'm a bit confused regarding baby aspirin and when to start taking it. I've read so many conflicting things. Some advice is to start taking it at 12 weeks but if it's to help prevent a miscarriage then surely that's too late, especially as I had my MC at 5.5 weeks and my MMC at 10 weeks? I feel like if I were to wait until 12 weeks it might be too late by then?

I'm still bleeding after my D&C and I'm just feeling very impatient!

Tamalama · 07/03/2021 07:46

Congratulations @Summersun001 @LauraT94 😊

Tamalama · 07/03/2021 07:42

Ahh ok, thank you @Mellous it's all so confusing because I was told to wait for my first period so as not to cause confusion regarding dates but to also make sure the lining of the uterus is ok.

Mellous · 07/03/2021 07:41

@Sugarskulllover yes of course! Sorry to hear about your recent mc, how many weeks were you? I found out end of dec at 10 weeks that mine had stopped growing at around 6 weeks. I had a d&c in January. We did try the cycle before my first period but no luck, tbh I didn’t really know what was going on with my body so this is our first “proper” attempt this cycle! Wishing you so much luck, how old is your first? xx

Morning All,

Would it be ok for me to join? I had a MC 12 days ago doctor confirmed MC as I had a negative test in a&e. It started with spotting around 16 days ago.

We are ttc for our second child and MC was on cycle 1. Doctor said we could try again straight away so that's what we're doing. Not sure how accurate my dates are going to be but we're dtd when we can. Trying to take a much more relaxed approach as ttc DS I was a nightmare with symptom spotting and dtd everyday through FW.

Wishing luck to you all and loving the BFP's already Smile

AMS19 · 07/03/2021 07:31

@Mellous @dippyegg32 exciting stuff!! Hopefully 2 more BFPs in the bag by this time next week 🤞🤞

Mellous · 07/03/2021 07:28
