Looking for some positive vibes from others that have been through similar 💫I had a miscarriage in June, had my first period last month. Tracked ovulation and ttc straight away this month, feeling deflated as af has arrived right on time tonight 😢

@Beck208 I'd start DTD every second day to be sure.

My faint line on Monday turned into a very positive CB Tuesday and confirmation by the GP yesterday Grin Going into the EPU tomorrow.

Can't believe I got pregnant 1 month TTC after the MC, it took me about 6 months to get pregnant both other times. I used easy@home OPKs and it made it really easy to see LH rising.

Good luck to everyone else, I've very hopeful this one is sticking :)

Skl2021 · 18/11/2021 11:21

@Beck208 Yes keep testing and good luck let's gets some lovely Christmas bfps 🤞✨ keep us updated 🙌 xx

Beck208 · 18/11/2021 11:17

@Skl2021 gosh happens so quick! I'll definitely keep testing more then, should ovulate in the next couple of days I'm guessing🤞🏻so sorry for your loss and I hope it comes soon for you! And this is only my 2nd cycle so hopefully I'll ovulate, and it would be nice wouldn't it ❤️

Skl2021 · 18/11/2021 10:17

@Beck208 this is what they should look like. When it starts to get darker u may want to test more often so u don't miss it! Some people get fast surges. Once u get a positive u should ovulate in the next 24-36 hours. Ohh that would be a lovely Christmas present 🤞 I would love that too I'm still waiting on my period after miscarriage. X

@Skl2021 thank you I'll keep testing then, I'm so hoping to have a Christmas positive 🤞🏻x

Skl2021 · 18/11/2021 09:43

@Beck208 no it's negative. The test line needs to be as dark or darker than the control line. Keep testing and it should get darker 🤞 x

Beck208 · 18/11/2021 09:15

Didn't mention, Ive never done ovulation tests before 😬

Beck208 · 18/11/2021 09:14

Hi everyone! Done anyone have any ovulation strips that look like this ? It's 11 days after the start of my period and got this, is it dark enough ?

I've got my fingers crossed for you @LaForza101, that sounds really promising Smile

Irishfarmer · 15/11/2021 16:21

@LaForza101 more than likely they will just say hormones, although probably isn't really anything they can give/ do. I am hoping it is a very early sign, I am 10DPO and had a faint positive this morning. Going to test again tomorrow.

LaForza101 · 15/11/2021 16:13

@Irishfarmer I think that's the cause of normal PMS but my emotions in the later half of my cycle seem so much worse post MC. I don't know whether it is worth talking to a GP about it but I can't face going to all that effort getting an appointment for them to just say "your hormones are still settling down".

I think if I get to 6 months post MC without a pregnancy and still feel like my cycle isn't quite right I'll make an appointment

Irishfarmer · 15/11/2021 16:02

@LaForza101 is that what it is, progesterone? I was in floods a few times last thurs/ fri. DH said I seemed very down which isn't really like me

LaForza101 · 15/11/2021 14:25

@Kelb79 I've also got my LH peak today! I've had a horrendous cold this month that has delayed ovulation by a few days. I'm just so happy I'm still in with a chance. I thought it might be anovulatory this month!

I just wish I could have this happy, confident ovulation time emotion all month. The creeping progesterone sadness in the tww is so much harder post MC

Beck208 · 15/11/2021 11:32

Think I'm definitely out this month, a different brand😢

@Tina12745 @Irishfarmer sorry for your losses to, it's been really hard as she was so wanted, we want to get pregnant as soon as, took us 2 year to conceive, so I haven't got my hopes up, and mine looks like evap line to this morning, must be a batch of dodgy tests 🙄

Irishfarmer · 15/11/2021 11:01

@Beck208 my test looks the same this morning, 10 DPO, I mc'd in Sept. You can just about make out the line in your pic. Sorry about your still born, that must have been awful, MC is hard enough. Flowers

Have you tested since?

Kelb79 · 15/11/2021 10:56

Got my first LH surge since my MC yesterday…. It was the biggest surge I’ve actually ever seen! (Maybe that’s good?? 🤷🏼‍♀️)
It’s not the two lines that I really want to see obviously but I’m actually really happy!
I feel oddly hopeful with it 🤷🏼‍♀️
We’ve BD’d the last night 2 days and will go for a couple more 🤪
I know then I’ll be into the TWW and then AF will no doubt rear her ugly head and I’ll remember just how much I hate TTC 😩
But for now I’m gonna try to hold onto the positive mental attitude 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Appointment with fertility team tomorrow for baseline scan….
Here we go again!!! 😵‍💫
Baby dust abs much love to you all xxxxxx

Tina12745 · 15/11/2021 10:14

Ahh deffo an evap line, 10dpo today and stark white bfn 😩

Tina12745 · 14/11/2021 09:33

Hey @Beck208 so sorry to hear about your stillbirth! Its so crazy ttc isn't it! Ive never had an implantation bleed so wouldn't be able to help! Ive tested this morning at 9dpo and can see the most faint line ever but husband can also see it! Worried it may be an evap line...im second cycle post miscarriage. How are you getting on today Xx

Beck208 · 13/11/2021 20:41

So I had what was what I thought my second cycle since stillborn, started bleeding Monday and finished Wednesday was quite heavy, I thought it was really short so I took a test, but I feel like it was way to heavy to be implantation bleeding, anyone had this ? Done a test but only faint Hmm

Hey ladies,
Im CD25 today and looks like i ovulated late around cd23 - waiting for my ovusense to confirm that though.
I normally ov around cd19 so im a bit late this cycle but its my first since the MC.
Been ttc for 12 months now and its taking its toll.
Blood come back that my iron is rather low but when you google it, it says that shouldnt cause fertility issues so thats not very helpful. Been prescribed iron tablets now though

Kelb79 · 11/11/2021 11:41

I’m CD8 today, the start of my usual fertile window….
I’m not noticing any significant OV symptoms but I’m LH testing so hopefully will see a peak.
How was it for everyone else?? Did your cycles change after MC? This is my first full cycle and I just don’t know what to expect 🤔🤔

Also, anyone have really strong smelling pee afterwards??? It’s a little bit better than it was - there was a point it was pretty bad!! 😳😳 and I’ve got no signs of a UTI otter than that. My HCG has flatlined so it’s defo not pregnancy hormones.

I had my blood tests back….. nothing!!!
Total head f*ck!! I got told after the first blood test that I’ve got large blood cells which would be down to folate or B12 deficiency .. it made total sense!! So many of the symptoms tied in and it gave me a possible answer to the infertility (2 years TTC before conceiving) and the MC…. Then the second test to pinpoint which it is said I’m clear!
I’m tempted to get private bloods done, it doesn’t make sense 😩😩😩

Tina12745 · 10/11/2021 20:55

Hey @Kelb79 it does feel like a relief at the same time doesn't it. I had in my head i was going to conceive my first one of trying in october so when i didn't it upset me! I find it crazy that it happens to so many people but its just so difficult to come to terms with. My best friend had a baby yesterday so i'm also telling myself i'm okay and my time will come just like yours will too! ❤️

@Bellesjp i am just behind you, i think i could be 5dpo today at the latest don't dare test anytime soon because I don't wanna disappoint myself again! Crossing my fingers for you! 😀

Hi @Kelb79 that's good news that AF finally showed up, and that the balls rolling with your fertility team. I know the feeling of everything being overwhelming though, everything is such a worry when you've had a bad experience. I have found the thought of trying again worse than now I've started again, I hope things feel a bit easier for you soon.

I'm 7dpo today, not testing until Saturday.. how is everyone doing?

Kelb79 · 06/11/2021 11:13

Hey everyone, how are you all today? ❤️❤️
I’ve finally got AF! I’m stuck between being happy that things are getting back to normal and the obvious feelings that this throws up 😵‍💫
It’s been a super tough one… painful and exhausting! It’s completely depleted me!!
I’ve got an appointment for a scan with my fertility team, they were just waiting for CD1. And I had my blood tests fur folate or b12 deficiency, just waiting on results.
All happened on one day! A bit overwhelming tbh, I feel like I need to psych myself back up for all this, I just don’t have the energy 😩
It’s all just really getting me again at the moment I think, im completely not over it 😞 does it ever get any easier?? 😩😩
