Just thought I'd update:
Me: 36 DH: 39 (he has two girls from previous rs)
TTC number 1 for us
CP Dec 2019
MC Oct 2020 @ 9 weeks
MMC March 2022 @ 10 weeks (Trisomy 15)

Hypothyroid but now under control, Endometrisis but midway through my Doxycycline for this, hoping to be back in the TWW midway through August! 🤞🏼

Been lucky enough to fall very quickly with them all, just can't make it stick (took some time off between the pregnancies due to working out of the country)

@LuckyMoonstone glad you're feeling better! Ttc is literally like a roller coaster, so many ups and downs! I'm still waiting for my peak, something has delayed it this month 🤷‍♀️

@Indianna2006 There is no reason why you won't conceive this cycle even if it took a while for your last bfp. Haha I know what you mean about plodding along 😂

@curliegirlie That is such a clear line! Which strips are you using? Did you test your cheapie with fmu and FRER with later day urine? To me that looks positive and if you did test with FRER with later urine that could explain why? 🤞

@LuckyMoonstone @Indianna2006 I don't usually get indents on cheapies but always now on FRER (which is why I don't use them anymore before AF). I took a FRER at O a few months ago and got an indent just to check - god know what they have done to them as I never had indents before DD!

Me: 37 DH: 42
1x MMC then term birth of DD (2.5 years) 3x early losses since Aug 2021 in the first 6 months and now nothing 😥

Cegbee · 16/07/2022 16:28

Age: 38 DH: 43
TTC number 2 - have a DD aged 2.5
MMC at 9 weeks in March after falling pregnant on 1st try (literally, we DTD once).
Now on Cycle 3 since return of ovulation (took 6 weeks)

curliegirlie · 16/07/2022 16:27

Age 39 DH 43
TTC #3 approaching the end of cycle 5 since a surprise pregnancy and MC in March. I already have DD1 (nearly 7, took 16 months to conceive) and DD2 (4, took 12 months, CP on cycle 8).

Indianna2006 · 16/07/2022 15:47

Thanks ladies. It’s good to be able to see where everyone is at 🙂

Age 36 DH 36
TTC no 2 DS age 16 months
Had a planned but unplanned pregnancy in March 2022 we were not what I would call trying but also not being careful and seeing what happened. This is cycle 1 after MMC

theblueflowers · 16/07/2022 13:19

Age 32, DH 34
TTC No 1
Been trying 12 months now.
Found out I was pregnant beginning of December, miscarriage on New Years Eve. I have PCOS and irregular cycles so wasn't too sure on dates, probably 6 weeks.

Obsessively testing cycle and fell pregnant straight away. Missed miscarriage at 10 weeks.

3 cycles since and nothing. Now on metaformin to help reduce cycle length.

Think I'm about 2-3 days from ovulation day now!

Age 30, DH 35.
One DS, 19 months.
TTC number 2. Got pregnant first try in September 2021 but lost January 2022. Cycle 6 now.

MrsGrealish · 16/07/2022 12:30

So if it doesn't happen for me it's not the end of the world. I have 3 gorgeous now adults. But once I saw that little heartbeat with the first miscarriage I was in love). If I have another miscarriage I'll probably call it a day Xx

MEH 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

Indianna2006 · 16/07/2022 11:38

@LuckyMoonstone it so is your right. Sigh. But yes if it’s grey now I ignore it. Only looking for a line with pink. And think I can now tell the difference I’ve been pregnant so many bloody times as taken since many tests 🙄😂
ooh if only it was as easy as month one bam done 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

LuckyMoonstone · 16/07/2022 11:34

@Indianna2006 @curliegirlie it is bad how so many tests have the indent so clear to see, I can imagine how many people get their hopes up if they don’t realise indents are a thing. I didn’t until recently. But I guess when you’ve tested so much for so long, you recognise these things and hopefully don’t get caught out so much (although I still do, it’s all part of that desperation to see a line isn’t it!)

Indianna2006 · 16/07/2022 11:30

@LuckyMoonstone yes I had this last month! A very obvious grey line. But it was grey and I couldn’t see colour. But it still catches you out doesn’t it.
deff think I will check them beforehand now. But it’s weird cos some have had grey line before even pee on it. But when I’ve peed on it it is stark white. And then two times on a frer I’ve had these weird grey indent lines. I have no foggy clue. Bloody annoying though.

so this month no early testing. As 12/13dpo for me I’ve always had a line which is pink. Just like a yes your pregnant or no you’re not. Did get my hope you last month.

@curliegirlie deff can see that indent on e ic. How bad is that! As if that was something frer would deff pick it up. Ugh tests are such a con aren’t they. But then it’s cos we early test. If we waited for AF we wouldn’t have none of this but it’s soooo hard!!

LuckyMoonstone · 16/07/2022 11:24

@curliegirlie weird because I can easily see a line on the IC. But it does look grey rather than coloured 😕 I find FRERs really bad for indents, I study them before I use the test so I know from the start that there’s already an indent line, otherwise I’ll think it’s a real line

LuckyMoonstone · 16/07/2022 11:22

@Indianna2006 that is exactly how it goes!

curliegirlie · 16/07/2022 11:06

Here's both tests. I reckon I just saw the indent on the IC as I have serious line eyes 😂

curliegirlie · 16/07/2022 10:45

@bunnykins123 I'm 9dpo which means I've become a serial tester, despite it being too early really (and we only really DTD once at the likely right time: O-4, O, O+1) so it's not really likely this month. However, that didn't stop me doing an IC and because I convinced myself I saw a shadow I wasted a FRER which was a clear BFN 🤦‍♀️ AF due on Wednesday.

Indianna2006 · 16/07/2022 10:42

@MrsGrealish 😩 10dpo still way early for a digital. There is time as yet. Come on 🤞🏼

@Cegbee oh no! Stuff always comes at once doesnt it. Sorry you didn’t get away. Hopefully next few days go fast tho!

@bunnykins123 haha yes they are a bit fiddly. Think I’ve just got the knack of it now!
i am doing my best to plod along and NOT think about it. But. Any think about anything else. 8dpo…but not feeling hopefuly. Feel like I’ve got months and months ahead of me before a BFP because it took us so long before.

@LuckyMoonstone glad your feeling a bit better. I think AF slump is the worst. Then around ovulation you pick yourself up with hope. And then second part of tww you lose your bloody head again. Amen. Cycle of my life lol.

we got this ladies x

LuckyMoonstone · 16/07/2022 10:09

@bunnykins123 I’m feeling a bit better now, thank you for asking. Opks are starting to get darker so hopefully ovulation will be in a few days. Which means it’s time to start DTD! Luckily I’m feeling brighter and less depressed, otherwise I would absolutely not be in the mood haha

bunnykins123 · 16/07/2022 10:00

@MrsGrealish oh nooo! It's still early! The digital version is not as sensitive as FRER so you defo stand a chance with being 10dpo 🤞

@Indianna2006 I didn't try the 'contraption' again, I may try again next cycle but I struggled so much - fiddly little things, aren't they 😂 how are you doing? Where are you in your cycle?

@curliegirlie @LuckyMoonstone how are you both getting on? 💕

@mummatara your most recent blood test is following the exact trajectory as me. They thought mine could be a new pregnancy too. Just to reassure you 💕

theblueflowers · 16/07/2022 09:02

@MrsGrealish having tests in the house make it impossible to resist, so don't be too hard on yourself! You still have plenty of time 🤞🏻

MrsGrealish · 16/07/2022 00:44

I failed. 10dpo and negative. Thought I was 11dpo until I checked the app. Idiot. No testing tomorrow as a punishment 😞
