Hello,

Would anyone like to join a thread for TTC after ectopic/miscarriage, or when facing other challenges eg age, PCOS etc? DP and I have just decided to try again for no2, and I'm going to come off the pill. It would be nice to have some buddies to share experiences and support each other 🙂

About me:

Pregnancy 1: conceived first cycle age 35, healthy pregnancy, DS born summer 2021 (now age 2)

Pregnancy 2: conceived first cycle age 37, ectopic, surgery November 2022

My plan is to eat well, exercise, cut out alcohol, and generally look after myself.

Because I got pregnant quickly both times, I'm hoping our chances are still good...no idea how only having the one fallopian tube is going to affect things 😬

I think I'll do OPKs but not sure about temping yet.

Would love to hear from others!

Did you take a photo @Ella31 ? Hopefully it's just too early even for the early digital to pick up, if it's a super faint line x

I did but the photo has no colour where as in real life it does.

@Ella31 what are the different sensitivities of the tests?

Apparently they are both 10 so I'm thinking now I got 4 indents

Ooh best of luck @Ella31 - my understanding is LH can show high in response to HCG but don't think it works the other way round... So hopefully you're picking up an early BFP. Keeping everything crossed for you 🙏🏼

@Nic2908 how exciting! 🥰

Ella31 · 23/01/2024 12:07

I'm kind of doubting myself now as I just got a positive ovulation on two cheapies. Well either way, if I'm not pregnant, I'll sure as hell be dtd the next two days

Ella31 · 23/01/2024 11:29

Nic2908 · 23/01/2024 11:10

@Ella31 i think that would be the best one yet!! Please keep us up to date in the morning

I will. I wonder should the ultra early digital have been positive though?

Oh gosh @Ella31 that's great! I'll also keep my fingers crossed for you

Thank you. It's weird I did get a peak on cb a few days ago but because the cheapies were not not high I ignored it. We dtd every other day this month so we will see. I'm totally prepared for it to be negative tomorrow though 🤣

Had a scare this morning, freer was positive but I took an internet cheapy which was completely negative. Obviously the irrational woman in me ran straight to boots to buy a test 😂😂 but we are looking good. Top one is yesterday, and the bottom two are this morning. 🥰🥰🥰

Congrats @Nic2908 delighted

Ella31 · 23/01/2024 10:48

Ladies update: remember I said my ovulation was all over the place which makes sense as I had a serious loss in November. Well I tested Hcg today and I've got a vvfl on an early clear. Tested 3 more and all have faint line within 5 minutes. The early digital was negative but let's wait and see.

Nic2908 · 23/01/2024 10:34

This is proving to be a very lucky thread!!

YellowZ · 23/01/2024 09:52

@Nic2908 well that's pretty conclusive isn't it! Congratulations!! How exciting. Keep us updated.

Hope your test is looking ok this morning @Nic2908 take one day at a time xx

@Nic2908 your excitement is palpable, congratulations! 😄

Edit:
I should have read on, I see that you're worried, which is understandable, but I hope you can hold on to some of that excitement from your first BFP post.

Nic2908 · 22/01/2024 23:03

@MrsB2019x absolutely. I will be a test addict now

MrsB2019x · 22/01/2024 22:04

Yeah definitely understandable. Are you going to do another test in the morning? Highly unlikely to get evaps on two tests in a row

Nic2908 · 22/01/2024 20:06

Thanks ladies. I feel like I’m expecting something to happen, the inevitable. I guess that’s normal following a loss? I want to feel the joy and I’m just petrified that it’s going to be a stupid evap or something like that

MrsB2019x · 22/01/2024 14:05

@Nic2908 That’s only a bloody line! 😍 congratulations!!!

Stategigi · 22/01/2024 10:15

@Nic2908 how exciting!!

SnookyPook · 22/01/2024 07:49

@Nic2908 oh wow! That's a line alright! Congratulations! 😃

YellowZ · 22/01/2024 07:49

@Nic2908 there's a line! THERE'S A LINE!!!! keeping all my fingers crossed for you x

@Gracie1825 sorry about AF. Onwards to a fresh cycle?

@Hannahbally could be the hot cabin? I found bbt made me more stressed... You can get progesterone urine tests on Amazon now to confirm ovulation, might be easier?
