starting the tww

It’s strange that the losses are dealt with so differently in different areas. I’m in Scotland and when I had bleeding I was just told to manage it at home.

@Geemmm I'm really hoping so 🤞 the process for me was awful as my HCG was slowly rising but they couldn't see anything and I wasn't bleeding. Leaving me with 3 internal scans and 6 blood tests overall with the words "ectopic" and "molar" being mentioned. I wasn't in a very good place but thankful my body resolved on its own even though I was left with pregnancy of unknown location. Luckily they've told me if I fall pregnant again I can come straight in and they'll do blood work and keep every monitored to ease the anxiety a little. Would be amazing if we all got positives just before Christmas ❤️

[quote SGChome20]@Hannabanana2021 I also had an early miscarriage and I got a positive opk around 14 days after my bleeding started. I’m hoping to have fallen pregnant again immediately as they say you are more fertile after MC. Did you try again this month?[/quote]
This was the same as me last month and I fell pregnant straight after my first MC previous cycle. Hoping it will happen again this month and be a sticky bean this time 🤞🏻

Yes I have baby danced for the last 6 days 🤭
I've also heard you're more fertile and heard you're more likely to have a successful pregnancy in the first few months after a loss

@pudding16 so things that we have done

1. Taking folic acid with vit D and a B vitamin complex (studies show it can reduce MC risk so I see no harm in taking it)
2. Used ovulation tests from day 6 of my cycle. I bit the bullet and bought the clear blue ones which are expensive but it does give you high fertile days and peak.
3. Have sex every other day on the lead up to peak fertile days and then on the day of peak.
4. Tried to add more healthy stuff into my diet like nuts and things and avoided caffeine.

I’ve read before that if sperm is not ‘released’ shall we say on a regular basis then a lot of dead sperm can accumulate so your better to try and start having regular sex on the lead up to ovulation.

Ultimately it is a game of odds and hopefully all you guys are more fertile and take quickly. Try not to get too disheartened if it doesn’t happen immediately though. Ttc is such a tough journey and it can be easy to take the fun out of sex. My DH feels a lot of performance pressure which he puts on himself. It is difficult.

Hi. I had an early miscarriage where nothing was ever seen on a scan. Bleeding started on the 22nd Nov lasting 6 days. My HCG levels have dropped in the space of 7 days from 82 to being 8 on Friday the 3rd Dec and now I have received a strong positive on OPK on Sunday the 5th Dec. Using the first day of miscarriage bleeding I would’ve been on cycle day 14 on Sunday and my next period is due in 12 days. When I fell pregnant I ovulated on CD15.
No idea if I really ovulated. I have an app that takes pictures of the tests and charts them and allows you to see your LH Surges. Apparently I'm 2DPO

Hi, can anyone help please? I'm 27 and I'm currently feeling so heartbroken and deflated. We've just started trying for a baby, I've been using the flo app to track my periods / ovulation. My last period was 19th - 23rd November. My periods are usually 35 days. Up until last year they use to be every 28 days. So I'm now going out my mind with worry that my body is broken. My fertile ovulation days on the app are 5th December - 11th with tomorrow (9th December) been the peek day. I keep getting negative ovulation test day after day. Its sole destroying. Is it possible the app is wrong with my ovulation days? Should I test every day for a month? Is there a certain time of day I should be testing? I'm totally new to the whole ttc and don't really understand it all yet. With my first baby I was 18 and he was conceived when I was on pill with an ear infection. Just looking for some kind words of wisdom really xx

[quote SGChome20]@MBN25 and I hope you didn’t take that the wrong way I just wouldn’t want anyone else to find that out later and suffer like we did.

@Cat32tt I’m going to try and not test until missed period but I know even writing this that I won’t because I didn’t last month! I tested at 12dpo last month so might do that again, which will be Tuesday.[/quote]
Do you mind me asking what you did do if anything at all?

@SGChome20 no of course it’s good to get advice as this is all very new to me, I’m going to just wait and see if AF comes due next Tuesday!

@SGChome20 just the app for the moment, might purchase some ovulation tests for next month, have a feeling this isn’t the month, haven’t had any symptoms yet or anything mind you I am only 8dpo now according to app if it was right.

I am going to test on Saturday when I'll be 11dpo. Only because I am going out on Saturday night for dinner and want to know weather I can have a small drink or not. The last 2 cycles I have had spotting at 11dpo and af in full flo at 13dpo. X

How are you feeling? When do you plan on testing?

Hey 5dpo and already counting the days till I can test!

@MBN25 were you tracking ovulation any other way? It’s just that I’ve found those apps to be pretty inaccurate and I was timing sex all wrong when ttc DD. I wish I’d known earlier!

Hey I’m currently in the 2WW, this is my first month trying to conceive but I’ve wanted a baby for a long time, trying to not get obsessed but feel like I am, im currently 7dpo according to my flo app and AF is due in 8 days, did a test today couldn’t resist but got BFN of course haha!

Hey, I’ll join as well. I’m 4dpo now after a chemical last month. I didn’t think I would ovulate so soon but I got my LH surge so we just went for it! I think the chemical has made me want to get pregnant even more so now! We had only tried 3 cycles this time when I got pregnant after it taking a good bit longer with DD. I’m keeping everything crossed for everyone on here for bfp!
