🌈 Ttc after miscarriage thread 7 🌈💕🤞✨

@bunnykins123 good thank you, ovusense finally confirmed ovulation for Wednesday! Fertility friend says Tuesday thought because I got a positive OPK on Monday

@bunnykins123 thanks well my temp has stayed up again still today. But cheap ICs still negative or faintest squinter. Got more Frer coming later.

think it must be residual hcg. 😔 but seems like it’s taking forever for that tiny last bit to go considering ICs gave me a negative 2 weeks ago. And I ovulated 2 weeks ago as well with hcg in my system. Hoping my period comes tomo so I can confirm.

@youngiesophie @Onebabyandamadcat good news on the stronger tests. Keep hopeful ladies.

so hard to keep the hope up I know. Feel like it’s gonna be a long journey for me again. Makes me so sad

Agreed @Onebabyandamadcat its absolutely awful. Omg how amazing that the lines are getting stronger tho that’s brilliant 🤩 I know how u feel I’m 5 weeks tomorrow and had 4 early losses so u almost can’t get excited because you know it could happen again so I completely get it. I don’t think the symptoms are in your head I can always tell I’m pregnant before the tests tell me because my boobs droop down and go really veiny🤣 so I don’t think it’s in your head don’t doubt yourself!! You’re nearly 4 weeks if your periods due on Tuesday so it’s only a few weeks now until u can get a private scan- I know it’s so hard but try to enjoy the fact that the tests are stronger it’s a great sign♥️ Hope you’re okay and not driving yourself too crazy lol xxx

Thanks @youngiesophie after promising myself I wouldn't test again today I have already slipped and tested 🙄. It's looking a bit stronger again. It's just such a shame miscarriages take all the joy out of what should be such a lovely exciting time - instead of happiness I feel this strange knot in my stomach and I'm already obsessed with symptom spotting (despite the fact that 1. My period isn't due until Tuesday - the symptoms are in my head. And 2. It was two MMC I had with the only indication being some brown discharge - I was still having morning sickness and stuff so it means nothing). IF, a big if, this is a successful pregnancy I wonder when I'll stop worrying so much and start enjoying it, 12 week scan, 20 week scan, kicks, or simply when they're in my arms?

No one mentions this fear when they tell you about miscarriage. No matter how settled I felt with my miscarriages, that positive test has sent me back to an anxious mess ☹️

@bunnykins123 thank you :) Feeling fine just have the painful vagina and slightly sensitive boobs and can feel I’m about to start getting morning sickness but not a lot of symptoms xx

@Indianna2006 fingers crossed for you! Our bodies do funny things when recovering from a miscarriage. I hope it's a new pregnancy 🤞 keep us updated!

@youngiesophie that's amazing, got my fingers crossed for a stickie bean! How are you feeling?

@LuckyMoonstone @curliegirlie how are you both doing?

@Onebabyandamadcat thats amazing news congrats ♥️♥️♥️Fingers crossed for u🤞

@LuckyMoonstone @bunnykins123

thanks it seems so weird doesn’t it that the hormone can drop quickly over course of a week.

i got a negative on a 20 mui cheap test 2 weeks ago yet Frer is still showing positive.

maybe it’s because I need a period to come to almost get a clean lining and flush it out perhaps.

more waiting and unknown I guess

@Indianna2006 With my first miscarriage, it took a long time for a FRER to become negative. It seemed to take forever for the remaining little bit to finally leave but it did. From what your saying, alongside the spotting it sounds like it could be residual HCG. You totally can conceive with HCG in your system though! If the spotting doesn't progress, then I'd say test again as it could be a new pregnancy!

@Indianna2006 sorry I don’t have any advice, just agreeing with you that it’s all very weird and confusing, I feel like that with my body sometimes. Maybe you didn’t ovulate and it was your hormones after MC making your temps the way they were.
A temp drop & spotting can mean implantation but even a FRER wouldn’t be positive if you were only implanting now.
Maybe don’t get your hopes up but see how the bleeding goes and test after the weekend?

Okay so update. As I’d been temping. My temp has now drastically dropped. And I’ve browned pink blood tinged CM. So looks like it’s left over hcg.

but I ovulated 2 weeks ago confirmed by temping. So clearly you can ovulate with hcg in system! And when will the FRERs clear if hcg? After a period? Surely it shouldn’t hang around still after that. Seems weird to me

oh well. Prob for the best. First period. Fresh cycle.

That photo loaded crap sorry try again

Images for reference.

obv because I didn’t see a negative on a FRER I don’t think I can be sure it isn’t left over can I?!

until I wait more days and see if it gets darker or stays same..🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Okay can somebody help me 😩

miscarried 5 and half weeks ago, had medical management. Had surgery 3 weeks 1 day ago for small amount of retained tissue. My pregnancy tests were already starting to slowly go fainter before the surgery.

after the surgery my pregnancy tests within a week went from relatively bold to a very very bad squinter. They were cheap strip tests so 20mui sensitivity.
so I got a shadow squinter 2 weeks ago. Tested 9 days ago negative. Didn’t test and check a negative on a FREE tho.

I ovulated about 2 weeks ago when I got my squinter. So I’m like 12/13 dpo.

I’ve taken a test. The same cheap strip test is negative ish. But I think I can see a shadow of a line.
FRER is positive.

but is it left over hcg?! I don’t know if it’s a new pregnancy as I never used FREE to confirm it an know they pick up much lower hormone at 6.5mui 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

help!! What do ppl think

Hi everyone can I join? We have had two MMC in the past year, one in late August/early September and one that was horrendous in that the wee bean never measured right then the heartbeat appeared and lasted for about a week before stopping, MVA which was unsuccessful. Miscarriage started on Halloween and ended on Hogmanay! But this month we decided to start trying again and I'm 11dpo with a faint positive. Swinging between being excited and a heavy feeling of dread. Anyway I'm rambling now but it'd be nice to hang around for a while with people who get it.

Just to update anyone who’s interested- I’m still getting pregnant 1-2 as of this morning which makes sense for my dates as I’m not 5 weeks yet :) going to test Monday morning as that’s when I got my first pregnant 1-2 and hope to see pregnant 2-3 then. 🤞♥️

@MooBugz aww thank you 😊 god I hope so!

@LuckyMoonstone that's great 😁 I've been following the thread and cheering for you embehind the screen LOL fingers crossed for a bfp soon..

I got a static smiley on my opk this morning so feeling optimistic for this month 🤞🏼🌈 X

@Chellooo yes I tracked until I got negative tests. But I ovulated like the day I got a very very faint line/ basically a negative. So mine happened very soon after.

but a different mc mine took a week after a negative test. So think everyone is diff depending on they pregnancy and hormones and how far you got. Will be no set pattern. Try look out for signs

Yay @LuckyMoonstone! Finally!!

Temp up again today, a good amount as well :) OvuSense hasn’t decided when ovulation was but I’m certain I’m 3dpo

If you’re able to do so that wouldn’t be the worst idea in the world. I hugely regret now not looking into the vaccines, and if my other daughter somehow doesn’t catch it this time I will definitely get her vaxed! We’d booked the trip 8 months ago and haven’t been on holiday for two and a half years so gutted doesn’t even begin to cover it!

@curliegirlie No! That's awful :( There was a mention of chicken pox at my son's child minders yesterday and we're flying out in nine days so I was considering keeping him home next week just in case :/

Pretty crappy really. We should be flying out to Malta, but DD2 came down with chicken pox on Wednesday so bang went that. And I got a BFN on a FRER today (10dpo) so I heavily suspect I’m out for this month…

I think I O'd yesterday (really early for me, CD15 vs the usual 19) but we'll keep dtd just in case for the rest of the week. Guess I need to take AF stuff with me to Italy now just in case sigh.

How's everyone else getting on?
