@bunnykins123 nothing to report, still ridiculously faint OPKs at CD21 on unless this turns into a ‘Jessie cycle’ with a positive OPK on CD24, I think I’m in for a long, anovulatory cycle 😬😩

Sassy144 · 28/04/2022 08:45

@bunnykins123 I'm 8dpo and have had mild cramping feelings pretty much since ovulation, don't know what to think! Also bloated a lot and quite tired, really hope I'm not imagining it all but feel like something might be going on..

Lizm1990 · 28/04/2022 07:53

@bunnykins123 well I’m 6dpo and over analysing every single thing, but I’ve decided to keep a track of what I’m feeling as I haven’t had many cycles since coming off the progesterone only pill last year and then getting pregnant, so it’s a learning curve to see what is just hormones, what signs are for AF coming and then hopefully I can learn if anything seems different. Main things I’m getting is stabbing pain yesterday in left and right above and below my hip bone, dry mouth a lot and little stabbing pains in boobs, sore teeth only time will tell as it’s way too early still so I keep saying to myself it’s probably hormones 😩 I do have a log of things I was feeling last month and a log of what I felt when I fell pregnant and I’m ticking things off on both lists right now so 🤦‍♀️ We can symptom spot together 🤣🤣

bunnykins123 · 28/04/2022 07:39

@Sassy144 @Lizm1990 @curliegirlie how are you all doing? I had a bit of ovulation bleed (wasn't really a bleed but a streak on wiping) on Tuesday which I've never had before! I'm not 4dpo and feel diddly squat!

I was told to test a month after my surgical management, which I've just done and it's still faintly positive. So frustrating.

Oh god that's so annoying!! It's so crap how we have to deal with this afterwards. Wish our bodies would just go back to normal xx

@Indianna2006 @My2boysaremyworld everything about miscarriage is cruel, you carry on having symptoms, tests are positive, I've still got a baby bump although thankfully due to the heartbreak diet that's not sticking around.
I wouldn't wish this on anybody!
I didn't do a pregnancy test for 2 weeks and when I did it was thankfully negative, but the midwife warned me that you can test positive for months. She also warned me that I'll be more fertile too so I'm just trying to hold on to that cause literally everything else is horrible!

Bless you sounds like your really going through it. Are you wanting to try again? That's what's keeping me going knowing I should be more fertile xx

@My2boysaremyworld ugh so annoying isn’t it!! It can take quite a while to disappear. I’ll leave it a week and try again. Don’t wanna keep looking at 2 lines ironically 🙄

Yes going to wait a week and test again. It's darker than my original tests were 😢 heartbreaking isn't it xx

Indianna2006 · 26/04/2022 15:06

@My2boysaremyworld were you advise by EPU when to test?

I took when last night as was curious. 5 days past medical management. And it was so so bold. I’ve got a long way to go 😩 then today I’ve just felt like crap. Think I cried all morning.

the hormones do not help!! They’ve obv crashed. Just want it to go down so I can be in the race again.

making babies takes so long doesn’t it! We started a year ago..and I’m back at the beginning it feels like.

Is it naive of me to hope we fall pregnant much quicker? Dunno if I’m just burying my head in the sand. But from all tests we had. Nothing was wrong!

Iv literally just done a pregnancy test I'm 9 days after miscarriage and it's positive and so dark too!! Hope I get negatives soon x

Hey ladies, unfortunately I miscarried our little boy at 16 weeks last month. Still in shock I think, no idea why 12 week scan and NIPT testing all clear, so now in the 3 month wait for post mortem results. I stopped bleeding last week and think from OPKs that I'm gearing up to ovulate so desperate to try again as all I can think about is being pregnant again. Not told a soul other than my husband as everyone's advice is wait, it's too soon - but surely you guys understand?

@My2boysaremyworld I had very sore stomach and shoulder muscles after the birth as although the baby passed easily, the placenta didn't so I ended up in theatre for that to be removed and all the pushing I guess was more of a work out than I've had in quite some time! I was fine after a week though, hope you will be too.

@TTBAM91 I bled really badly in my last pregnancy, like literally no idea how there's a baby still in there, including red blood, clots and cramping and she's a very healthy 17 month old. It's horrendous but sometimes bleeding can be fine in a pregnancy

@Indianna2006 I completely understand how you feel, this miscarriage was my third baby, he and my first were conceived without trying but my second was 5 years trying and lots of IVF so I'm very worried about falling down this rabbit hole of TTC again....

So sorry to hear your sad news. Sending lots of hugs. We want to try straight away too. I think it's how you both feel is all that matters x

Sassy144 · 26/04/2022 08:56

@bunnykins123 yes they have gone up since ovulation so that's all good, but when I was pregnant before my temps were even higher than they normally are post ovulation, and I'm not seeing that yet.

@MrsC2018 I'm so so sorry, I can't even imagine what you must be going through after your loss 💔 I totally understand wanting to try again, unless docs have told you to wait for medical reasons just do what feels right for you xx

Indianna2006 · 26/04/2022 08:53

@MrsC2018 I’m so very sorry. It’s awful.

yes I imagine lots of soft tissue healing has to take place. I have pains and discomfort back this morning. My bleeding seems to if tapered off. But then I get these cramps and get some more fresh red so I think that may be why. Hoping it’s not retained tissue.

i think some people will think it’s too early. For others it’s not. Only you know in yourself. I was much earlier but feel I want to try again straight away as you don’t want to waste time. But also if get pregnant quickly. Being prepared for what can happen. And mentally ready for that is the struggle really.

i took a test yesterday just to see how high my hormones are. Still very high. So although not loads of bleeding now. I’ve got a way to go before it goes negative I believe.

just want ovulation to come around..

bunnykins123 · 26/04/2022 08:42

@MrsC2018 I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine the heartache of loosing at little one at 16 weeks. I lost my 1st at 10.5 weeks and found out at the scan 😔 you will find a lot of support on this forum, take the time to grieve - it's such a emotional place you will be in at the moment 💕💕

bunnykins123 · 26/04/2022 08:22

@Sassy144 good to know I'm not the only one! Feels like my hormones are going crazzzy but equally not sure if I'm more aware of stuff. Has it not gone up at all? Did you use OPKs? I forgot to take my temp this morning so I've got no idea if my temps have gone up or not 🤦‍♀️

Sassy144 · 26/04/2022 06:25

@bunnykins123 I've also had headache and heartburn, but don't usually! One thing that's making me think I'm not pregnant is that my bbt isn't any higher than normal. When pregnant before it was quite high.

bunnykins123 · 25/04/2022 22:33

@Sassy144 @Lizm1990 we can symptom spot together! It's just so frustrating that there isn't a sure sign of pregnancy before AF is missed (I know that is ultimately the sign but still 😂) had a headache and heartburn today - anyone get that after O?

Sassy144 · 25/04/2022 21:24

@bunnykins123 yes just have to block it out and think positive! I'm 5dpo and I've had mild cramping and bloating and a lot of cm, so hard not to get hopes up!

@Lizm1990 it's so tough isn't it! Glad to know it's not just me who can't relax, I've googled so many things 😂

Lizm1990 · 25/04/2022 21:15

@curliegirlie yayyy hopefully be soon for you 🤞

@Sassy144 i know what you mean about work there’s a lady who announced when I had my MMC and she’s due the same month that would have been me, and then she went do you know about her being pregnant I just faked my reaction tbh and it’s not her fault, I’m happy for her but it’s still gutting! Also I’m 3DPO today and I’m so not relaxed 🤣🤣 I know 3DPO is too early for symptoms but it’s not stopping me from thinking ooo is that a sign or googling something “could this be a sign” lol

FfayeN · 25/04/2022 19:52

@TTBAM91 oh my goodness what a rollercoaster! So so happy for you though 🥰. xx

curliegirlie · 25/04/2022 19:39

Hurrah - Premom says 0.35! I feel things are finally moving up again! 🤞 for ovulation in the next couple of days or so, and not waiting until CD25 or something!

🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨
bunnykins123 · 25/04/2022 19:38

@TTBAM91 ahhh I'm so pleased for you, great news!!! 💕💕

@Sassy144 awh it's hard isn't it. I think all you can try and do is block out the noise with other peoples pregnancies and just focus on being as relaxed as you can. And have faith - it will happen. I'm 1dpo - have had had so many O symptoms this month and I'm fairly certain the TWW will be filled with all sorts of crazy symptoms (I'm refusing to test this cycle). How are you feeling? What's your symptoms?

@curliegirlie fingers crossed in that case! Mine look just like yours (in fact yours have way more progression than mine 😂) so I hope this is your lucky month 🤞
