Hi 🙋‍♀️, just as the title says, I am now on cd1 of my first cycle after a loss at 11+4 (stopped growing just after a scan showing strong heartbeat at 8 -9w)

Feeling nervous but positive about a new cycle ...but finding it hard to think of anything else other than ttc 🙂

Happy for some company to obsess with over these next weeks x

Thank you @Bali200! I almost tested this morning but bottled it 😂 xx

Aaliyahrae · 02/11/2023 07:36

I haven’t got any symptoms either so you aren’t alone there! @Bali200

Aaliyahrae · 02/11/2023 07:34

Omg congratulations @Bali200 how are you feeling?x

Bali200 · 02/11/2023 07:26

Thank you @CluelessInLondon! I know it is still so early, but I’m a natural overthinker, need to try and maintain my zen energy 😅 wishing you all the best of luck too xx

Bali200 · 02/11/2023 07:24

Thank you @Wise0wl I’m still in shock 😌 hoping to see a BFP from you too in the coming days, got my fingers crossed for you 🤞🏼 xx

CluelessInLondon · 02/11/2023 07:24

Congratulations @Bali200! It's still very early for symptoms so try not to worry about that (easier said than done, I know!).

Wise0wl · 02/11/2023 07:18

Oh wow @Bali200 - congratulations!! Here’s hoping for a successful pregnancy for you!!! Xx

Bali200 · 02/11/2023 06:59

Morning ladies so my temp was still high this morning and NC prompted me to do a test so I caved and it’s a BFP at 11dpo! Cue now feeling totally anxious and worried due to lack of symptoms 🤯 x

Best of luck tomorrow @Gem0302 - so sorry you got pregnant when trying to avoid it and then had a MC. Any info about progesterone would be really helpful. The link to the Tommy’s info is here: https://www.tommys.org/pregnancy-information/health-professionals/early-pregnancy-bleeding-and-progesterone

@Bali200 a relief to have your work drinks moved especially given the weather! I’m torn between testing on Friday which would be CD28 for me, or waiting til the weekend. I keep getting ahead of myself (thinking about progesterone, thinking about Friday as if it’s a bfp could self refer before the weekend?) but really trying to keep cool! Xx

Good evening all!

Tentative congratulations @Aaliyahrae 💗that’s an amazing line, I don’t see how it could be a false positive! I definitely think it’s possible if you weren’t tracking, maybe you ovulated early? Do you know how long your cycles normally are? X

Absolutely @Haylsttc that’s totally how I feel too! (Until AF arrives and I’ll probably start sobbing again 😂) I’m also looking for ideas on new things to try next cycle, I actually spent my lunch break today eyeing up new vitamins in boots 🫣proceive look good! x

@Wise0wl @Ladyinpink1 thank you both but I’m not going to test tomorrow now as I need to wfh, my work drinks have been moved to next week instead🫣 maybe we could test together in a couple of days @Wise0wl if AF doesn’t show up? X

Gem0302 · 01/11/2023 20:58

@Wise0wl I have a gp appointment tomorrow and progesterone is something I plan to ask about. I will post on here if there’s any helpful advice given. I wondered the same as I had a Mc last year. Funnily enough we were trying to avoid pregnancy at that point as it was just before our wedding. Been trying for the last 4 months now to no avail.

Ladyinpink1 · 01/11/2023 20:07

Hi @Gem0302 welcome, no tips from me, i'm a super early tester and convinced myself I was preg last month, my advice is embrace the obsessing 😄 maybe someone else will have something more helpful to say x

@ThelastRolo20 That's great you are getting a line on the opks starting, I bet you will get a negative p test and a positive opk very soon. x

Oh my goodness @Aaliyahrae that is definitely a line, guarded congratulations 💝🎉😀! I am not an expert in any way but I can't imagine how a line like that could be a false positive, it's a great line! How are you feeling? x

@Wise0wl that will be a lovely age gap for you all. I hope you can test very soon and get good news. x

Oh my goodness, so much to catch up on since this morning 🙂

Definitely it does @Bali200 I think it varies between day after opk and 2nd day. Aw I know, it's so hard to know what to do. Please keep in touch and let us know either way, I'm hopeful for you x

@Haylsttc I know you are right, I overthink everything lol.
It's so hard to know the right thing to be taking/doing when ttc isn't it. I'm sticking with my mirriade of vitamins etc not sure what else o could add to it next cycle, may do some more research 🤔 x

@Vic231 a weekend away sounds lovely.. and I think you need a little bit of crazy when ttc. It's filled with ups and downs but you are defo not alone x

@Aaliyahrae that looks like a line to me! When was your last period? Maybe we can help work out your dates? Cautious congratulations!!

@Bali200 best of luck for POAS tomorrow, and I hope I can channel some of your zen 🤞

@Ladyinpink1 I hope it’s a positive sign, but am too scared to test and so going to hang on for a few more days I think. I’m too nervous of the result. This would be baby 2, I have a 3yo.

Throwing another question out there to anyone who might know, I saw a thing from Tommy’s that says if you have had a MC and you have spotting in your pregnancy you should ask for progesterone as it can help sustain a pregnancy up to 5% more than without progesterone. I had spotting in my first pregnancy (which was successful), but not my MMC. Does anyone know much about taking progesterone? I know that advice wouldn’t have applied to my MMC as I didn’t have spotting with that, but I can’t help wondering if I’d taken progesterone if the MMC wouldn’t have happened..

Vic231 · 01/11/2023 16:44

@Aaliyahrae do you have another test you could do? I have short cycles, around 23 days, and the times I've fallen pregnant I've DTD every other day for the first 7 days after my period, so I think it's very possible!

Aaliyahrae · 01/11/2023 16:40

Thanks girls but I don’t think I am pregnant. I had sex (successfully) literally days after my last period, it isn’t possible to ovulate that quickly after is it? The test was negative, completely white negative last week.

CluelessInLondon · 01/11/2023 16:34

@Aaliyahrae Wow, that's a lovely line! And if you weren't tracking anything then your last test might just have been too early to show anything. Do you have any idea on any of your dates? Cautious congratulations!

Vic231 · 01/11/2023 16:21

@Aaliyahrae wow that's a really strong line! I know it's scary but you have got this! 🤞🏼 how far along might you be?

graceinc22 · 01/11/2023 16:18

@Aaliyahrae that looks positive to me!! Fingers and toes crossed for you xxxxx

Oxalis00 · 01/11/2023 16:05

Well, @Aaliyahrae, a line’s a line! And that looks like a really clear one. What do you know of your dates? You weren’t tracking ovulation or anything were you? All it takes is one sperm, and they can survive inside for 5 days, et voila! Maybe your test last week was before implantation. This looks really good to me but I can understand the headf*ck. Tentative congratulations though!

Aaliyahrae · 01/11/2023 15:31

Ladies I’ve just done a test , what the fuck. I’m so so scared. There is no way it can be that dark after my negative test last week. No idea when my period is due either. No symptoms. I’m freaking out. Has anyone had a false positive on these tests?

Gem0302 · 01/11/2023 12:45

I can see a very faint line!

Gem0302 · 01/11/2023 12:43

Hi, I’ve been obsessively googling (like i do most days) about TTC when I came across this thread. Reading your comments has made me a feel a little better that I’m not the only one who’s life has been taken over by TTC.

Im currently CD 28 and 14DPO. I’ve tested every morning for the last 6 days and nothing but BFNs. So I’m currently mentally preparing myself for AF to arrive :(.

Any advice on how not to obsess every minute of the day?! 😂 xx

tife1234 · 01/11/2023 12:23

Ladies can you see anything on this test

ThelastRolo20 · 01/11/2023 11:31

Thanks @Oxalis00 I've been having the blankest OPKs until today and just did a pregnancy test with diluted wee and it was negative. So I'm cautiously optimistic that my body isn't mixing the two up!

Will see what the tests do over the next few days. Hopefully the pregnancy test goes fully negative and OPKs get darker 😂 how are you doing? X
