1DPO... any cycle buddies out there?

I'm currently TTC following a miscarriage at 12 weeks on 5th August. I haven't had a period yet but we decided not to wait, as I'm desperate to be pregnant again and I think that is the only thing that will make me feel better about the loss. I have been tracking ovulation and did catch my peak so now just hoping I've got the timing of DTD right.

Just wondering if anyone out there TTC is around the same time in their cycle so that we can chat to each other really. I think I'm already driving my husband mad, it would be nice to speak to other people who really understand how I'm feeling! 😊

@tlw14 I took a pound shop test last time I was pregnant and it came out like that - I then did a normal ClearBlue and got a dye stealer 😂

If you're worried then just go out and get another CB digi - the peace of mind will be worth the ££!

I did another easy@home this morning; it was darker than yesterday but given the hcg doubling time is two days I'm waiting for tomorrow to make a proper comparison with my 'spare' frer😊

emmatcc1 · 02/11/2023 10:37

@tlw14 for a cheap test I think that’s a good line.

tlw14 · 02/11/2023 10:36

@Kewchoc That looks fab!!!! So excited for us all.

Really hoping this little one sticks around!

I have a weeks indicator one left.. will probably try and save that until sunday morning though and hopefully get my 2-3 weeks then. Knowing myself i will buy another pink dye one to do then too.

Do you have any symptoms at all? I have like achey boobs, more like tingly. I remember with my little boy they used to feel so so sore and almost bruised like.

@tlw14 OH MY GOSH! congratulations! I can't believe what a lucky month this is turning out to be!

I think that looks like a great line for where you're at, plus if the rest was only £1 it's probably a bit crap anyway! Are you going to buy some better tests today? I am sure you will get a more clear positive on a digital 😊

I do understand the anxiety, I think it's probably to be expected, but currently there is absolutely no reason for another miscarriage to happen xx

Also yes did another test this morning and it's much clearer (although definitely fainter than yours)

@Kewchoc @Amberellalina How are you both getting on?? Have you done any more tests?

I did a pink dye test, only a cheap one, literally one pound. I got a faint line but i am worried it is too faint.. i am either 13dpo or 14dpo today. My period would of been due tomorrow i think..

Honestly i am just really paranoid about having another miscarriage now..

@Amberellalina I've got a private fertility appointment this month, only 2 more weeks to wait! Definitely going to ask them about that. And miscarriage clinic is end of the month too so it's all systems go. And just to top off a busy medical month I've got my long awaited ADHD assessment too! Definitely going to try and take it easy outside all the medical appointments 🙈

@Agathapoirot oh that's good that you're not feeling too bad 😊 I bet you're so excited for your scan? It seems to be a very lucky group doesn't it!

@Amberellalina Hahaha, think I've had baby brain since I was pregnant with ds and it just never left! 🤣 infact Ive just noticed that I also tagged the completely wrong person in my other post too... christ!! @moosey89 I meant to tag you in my second to last message and not crazydogladie, but evidently I have just lost the bloody plot today!

I have also read about the risk of miscarriage reducing (quite significantly) if you conceive again with in that time frame. Hopefully that means the odds are really in our favour 😊

Agathapoirot · 01/11/2023 13:53

@Amberellalina Ive got one booked for Sunday when I should be just over 7 weeks, feeling more anxious about it then I expected, but it will be good to know if things are as expected!

Amberellalina · 01/11/2023 13:32

Ha! @Kewchoc has baby brain already 😁

How are you doing @Agathapoirot ? Did you decide about the early scan?

@moosey89 not out until the witch arrives!! And good news re: ovulating. Have your doctors said anything about trying Clomid to see if that gives things a boost?

And thanks everyone, hoping this one sticks around - research does show that a new pregnancy within six months of a loss is more likely to be successful.

Agathapoirot · 01/11/2023 13:22

@Kewchoc , I’m good, very tired and nauseous off/on but nothing major. So pleased to see some more positives in this group, fingers crossed for some more! X

tlw14 · 01/11/2023 13:17

@Kewchoc @Amberellalina
Congratulations to you both!!!! so so pleased

@Agathapoirot Oh of course, I'm so sorry! I knew you were on the thread but I've been struggling to keep track of what's going on with who! How are you feeling? Xx

Agathapoirot · 01/11/2023 12:06

@Kewchoc I was on this thread a few weeks ago and got my bfp. I’m 6 and a half weeks now. This thread was my safe space when I was struggling after my miscarriage!

Thanks everyone 😊 I did this early detection test at about 11 so not FMU and after a few cups of tea! Pretty happy with the line considering how early I'm testing, not even due my period for another few days!

@Agathapoirot Are you going to test soon?

@Crazydogladie You never know, pms symptoms often mirror early pregnancy symptoms don't they... keeping my fingers crossed for you

@Amberellalina @Kewchoc congrats to both of you This must be so exciting!!!

moosey89 · 01/11/2023 09:26

Congratulations ladies! I'm 12dpo today and despite a really high day 21 progesterone results I can feel af coming 😭 at least I know I ovulated this month which is the first time since my miscarriage in July!

Agathapoirot · 01/11/2023 09:10

This has made my day! I’m only ever so slightly ahead of you ladies, would be great to join you on going through it together! X

@Amberellalina I was thinking the same thing! Feel like we are the OG's of the group lol so it's amazing we've both conceived at the same time 😊 sounds like you and your dh are treating it exactly the same as we are. It's hard not to start getting too excited though isn't it ha! I must say, I thought a positive test would really set off my anxiety but I'm feeling quite positive about it all! Just picked up my actual early detection tests, going to wait a couple of hours then do one so hopefully I'll get a more clear positive then!

Amberellalina · 01/11/2023 08:37

@Kewchoc yessssss… those are definitely visible lines on two different tests! Congratulations. I’m really excited for you too - I feel like we started this journey together so it’s nice that we (hopefully) get to go into the next stage together too.

Yep, told DH - I didn’t bother telling him about the hint of a squinter yesterday, but these are more convincing I think! He’s excited but cautious, it is still so so early so could still turn out to be a chemical. We’ve agreed to just take it one day at a time and remember that ‘today I am pregnant’ ☺️

I’m going to do my second FRER on Friday, then all being well one of the digital weeks indicator ones on Sunday when AF is due.

@Amberellalina Eeeee! Yea definitely lines on both of them! Congratulations 🥰 I really am so chuffed for you! Will you be able to get the digital one today? Have you told dh??

I don't think your mad at all! These are my tests from this morning... definitely still a line on both but extremely faint so I'm going to pick up an actual early response as soon as the shops open, didn't realise dh had asked them to order some in!

Now to the shop to buy the expensive digital ones 😂

Amberellalina · 01/11/2023 05:41

FRER and easy@home - I’m calling it - BFP!

Still a bit faint so I understand if you think I’m mad 😂

But a line is a line!!
