Cd1 of ttc first cycle after loss... anyone want to join me? 🙂

@ThelastRolo20 thankyou so much ❤️ good luck on your journey! I’m glad I joined the thread! Xx

@GeorgeR28 I'm so sorry for your loss and to read how terrible a time of it you had. I don't know if it's normal worry about that but I do every day as well and have became a bit fixated on it. Hopefully it eases soon for us x

@Ladyinpink1 no we gave up on that, to much effort 😂 I think if you've gone up to break day you're fine! So is today ovulation day for you? Can't quite remember SMEP timings

@GeorgeR28 so sorry for your loss, you had such a difficult journey but the group here are fab, I hope you find some comfort here xx

@Haylsttc thankyou so much I really appreciate it ❤️ I’m so sorry to hear you went through that too, it really is the most horrendous thing in the world. Lots of love back to you!
I am better as a whole I’d say, it’s this time last month and again now I start to really struggle mentally at the thought of another negative and my period coming.
is it normal to think somethings wrong with you and you’ll never get pregnant again, I think this and fear it every single day

@ThelastRolo20 those tests look a lot better, glad to see you got your peak!

@Wise0wl pleased to hear everything is going well, bet that was a huge relief ❤️

@graceinc22 ah that’s amazing the test confirmed you ovulated 🎉

@GeorgeR28 welcome to the thread, I’m so sorry to hear about your loss and the experience you had following, sending you lots of love! We’re all here to support each other on this thread ❤️‍🩹 My missed miscarriage was also in June. I really wish I had advice on the negative tests but all I can say is time has been a healer for me. Each cycle I’ve still been sad I’m not pregnant but I just try to be as positive as possible and know it will be our turn again soon ❤️

Hey everyone. I had a miscarriage back in June, I was sent back and fourth from the hospital for months despite heavy bleeding and clotting constantly, they eventually gave me a D&C but a week later the bleeding and clotting started again even heavier, I was bleeding through all my clothes and it was honestly the worst time of my life, most days I didn’t want to be here anymore because I saw no end to it. I had to go private to have surgery and I did indeed still have retained products which was causing the heavy bleeding for 5 months even after my D&C. So this is technically only my second cycle since as this whole time my body has thought I was still pregnant up until my surgery.
im currently 9dpo and really finding my intrusive thoughts coming back and the dread of not being pregnant if my period turns up next week.
im not really posting to ask any questions or anything, just saw this thread and wanted to join in.
I hope everyone is doing okay, if anyone has any tips of coping with negative pregnancy tests if we don’t get lucky this time I’d really appreciate it 🤍

Thanks @graceinc22 - really great news about your ovulation, 🤞🤞 for Saturday! X

@Bugdem123 I know what you mean about having something to do 😂 I'm going to use easy at home going forward for sure. @graceinc22 that's great news about ovulation. Fingers crossed for you on Saturday 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@CluelessInLondon totally get it. I guess I feel like becoming pregnant again won’t take away the loss of our first baby, nothing will ever take that away, but it would be such a blessing and so uplifting. And then when that doesn’t happen, you’re left with the more undiluted sense of loss. Hugs ❤️

@Wise0wl great to hear things are looking good on the scan and you’ve now got the progesterone!

I’m 11dpo today, and my progesterone test at the fertility clinic confirmed I ovulated, so yay! Waiting until Saturday morning to test… 🤞

I'm CD9 today and usually ovulate about CD16 still a few days to go. Going to start using the OPKs and digital OPKs tomorrow, mostly for something to do haha.

@Bugdem123 I know what you mean! So much waiting 😂 what cycle day are you at the moment? X

@ThelastRolo20 thats good news! I like the easy@home ones although tbf I've never used any others.

I'm in the waiting before the fertile window phase and it's dragging on. I just want to get at it haha.

@Haylsttc the easy at home showed a peak straight away - the cheap ones are still not quite there but I'm fairly confident today is the one!

Sending lots of love @CluelessInLondon , I completely understand how this time of year makes it even harder. Take some time for yourself xx

After feeling pretty unwell and with some bad cramping EPU moved my follow up scan to today, instead of Friday. Very thankful things are looking ok but they also found a subchorionic haematoma and said I should have been prescribed progesterone two weeks ago (at my first scan when I did ask about it because of the Tommy’s advice… 🤷‍♀️) so am glad to have that now.

Sending lots of luck for those of you in the tww xx

@ThelastRolo20 this was in response to your message, somehow managed to tag myself haha xx

@Rainbowpeanut02 thanks, I really hope so, but I’m trying not to get my hopes up, just counting down the days till I can do a test. Will test I think around the 5th and find out I guess but it’s taking all my self control not to test sooner! Xx

@Rainbowpeanut02 CD14 could have caught the egg - you never know 😊 fingers crossed for you x

Yes it’s very true, sometimes I try to scan the strip to make sure it consistently is giving the right reading, it’s awful when it starts to give false hope. We DTD on CD 14 and 15 was hoping to DTD more but judging by the readings figured there wouldn’t be much point and DH was physically exhausted.

As per the app, Ovulation day was CD 16 which I don’t think is accurate as my reading was 0.32 and by the strip, it’s quite light in comparison to others.

Couldn’t really DTD before hand as CD11/12 I was still giving positive pregnancy readings after the MC bleeding stopped. Think I got my first negative on CD13.

Yes will keep you all updated, hoping we all have some good news to share soon!! 💖🫶🏻

@Rainbowpeanut02 it looks like you ovulated CD13 - the readings are pretty good but sometimes you need to judge by eye and those two lines look the same to me. I reckon you're about 7 DPO - keep us updated! X

Here’s my results this month, I don’t know about everyone else but I don’t feel like I caught my peak this month, and my ovulation day reading was really low so no idea when it’s coming or if it’s already passed.

I have had the cramps, backache, nausea the last few days and some spotting today but not sure if it’s my mind playing tricks with me. I’m 6DPO and DTD twice mainly due to DH work schedule.

I already got a negative pregnancy test before TTC but all this waiting is very confusing and stressful.

I use the easy@home strips and the Premom app. I find the app is genuinely pretty accurate with me and the test strips are genuinely spot on but I like to compare the numbers. It gets pretty addictive especially when you like to see other people’s numbers too.

hopefully this will be a good month for us all! 🫶🏻❤️

@ThelastRolo20 what OPK's are they? the one with the green backing, are they good? I hate this testing game, it just never ends. I do personally really like the easy@home tests. i like that i can see the number progression with the app. Heres my ones so far after the MMC, will attach in a separate post.

@Oxalis00 I hope your test results get darker soon, its always a waiting game but the wait always feels so long, i hope we all get our BFP's soon!!! 🙏❤

@Haylsttc typically the moment I order other tests these seem to be getting dark! The bottom two are 1.5 hours apart this morning so assuming a peak around midday (which is same time as day last time)
