TTC after ectopic/after loss/older age etc ALL WELCOME 🙂

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!

@Ella31 it's amazing how different the femometer and easy@home readings are. Have you done another test this evening?

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you @Confusedddddddd

Very tired today, but my booking in appointment went well. Very nice midwife. Because of the ectopic and having had a post partum haemorrhage with my son, it's actually a high-risk pregnancy this time (but from the sounds of it that just means 1 appointment with a consultant).

Yeah and I used to love fermometer, got pregnant 3 times on them. I've attached the latest tests

@Ella31 yeh I'd say today is your peak, the test line might get darker but equal or darker than the control line is a peak.

Just wanted to add @Confusedddddddd I've been pregnant 3 times all losses of differing levels of trauma unfortunately, but when I tested positive on all 3, they were all different dpo days so keep holding on. I also had different symptoms so I know it's cliche but until af is here, anything can happen.

@Ella31 I'm only 9dpo today. 8dpo when I tested yesterday. So still early. But I'm not really feeling like I am, other than the nausea last night.

With your tests I'd trust the easy@home. I've never had a peak test with Femometer, they don't seem to be as sensitive as easy@home.

9dpo is so early, so don't lose hope. Hard though I know.

Do you think that was peak today?

This is my ovulation today. Easy at home looks good but fermometer isn't as high. Static smiley on opk

First pic is easy@home and second is fermometer. Any thoughts?

Currently awake with a poorly 2yo for the second night in a row... He's just dropped off and feels less hot. Nurofen must have kicked in. Now the rain is hammering on the window. So bloody tired! Got my booking in today.

Good luck @Confusedddddddd

Right time to sleep 😴 hopefully

Aw poor thing, nothing worse than that and then you are lacking sleep too. How are you feeling?

Ella31 · 26/01/2024 12:21

Confusedddddddd · 26/01/2024 12:15

Test was negative as expected. I'll test again tonight but I'm not getting hopes up this cycle.

What dpo are you?

Confusedddddddd · 26/01/2024 12:15

How is everyone else getting on?

Have you booked in your scan yet @Nic2908 very exciting.

Ella31 · 26/01/2024 00:14

Confusedddddddd · 25/01/2024 21:42

@Nic2908 8dpo feel very nauseous this evening (probably doesn't mean anything though. Going to test as soon as I need a wee.

How are you getting on?

Have you done any tests yet@Confusedddddddd

Fingers crossed for you. I remember my symptoms with my boys was very sore boobs and cramps.

SnookyPook · 25/01/2024 12:34

@Ella31 that's definitely looking hopeful! When mine rose a bit I also tended to do an evening one around 8pm - my peak was often detected on the evening test and then dropping again next day. If by any chance you have a fairly quick peak, that may have been the case on CD20. But see what you get day 22 which will hopefully clarify!

Just got a static smiley and positive cheapie ovulation. Off to dtd ladies 🤣🤣

Ah sorry @Ella31 clearblue are the worst. But like @CatCaretaker said this could still be your month.

Loads of egg white mucus today. I think I'm ovulating

@Ella31 oh I'm sorry this one was negative, even if it is just ovulation, it is still possible that this is your cycle. Fingers crossed.

Clearblues are shocking - had lines in the first 3 mins on most of them.

Ella31 · 25/01/2024 09:19

Well ladies, I don't know what's going on. It's a bfn. I genuinely saw a light line at 3 mins but it disappeared soon after and negative digital. Maybe I am just ovulating. Period isn't due till the 4th so it would make sense
