Anyone ttc in 2024 after loss?

@Ella31 thank you. I love what your husband said, that's a lovely way to look at it. He's holding our hope! WhatsApp group muted too! x

Also can you mute the family group , just for a while to give yourself breathing space.

@Hopingrae when someone is pregnant close within families, it's so hard. I hope you do something nice for yourself tonight , also just remember, you,ll be in that position soon. As my DH keeps saying, it's not "if" it's "when"

@Bey I think it's a possible positive but don't want to get your hopes up either, but I'm eagerly waiting to see your update and have every finger and toe crossed for you xxx

@Bey spotting is a funny one, I've literally only just stopped spotting since MC, although had a period in between and ovulated. Bodies do funny things to get back into their own rhythm. Could be implantation bleeding maybe? Good idea to do another test and see how things go.

@Ella31 how confusing for you, maybe cycles getting back into their rhythm taking a bit of time?

I've had a tricky day, my sister in law had a baby girl this morning and it as good as broke me. And I feel terrible for it. Really wasn't expecting to feel like that. I've been ok with pregnant friends and my neighbours new born. Now the family WhatsApp group is going crazy with baby love and I'm trying to block it out. It bloody hurts. I'm am happy for them, it's just mixed with other emotions.

Ladies back again for advise, so now I've started spotting pinkish blood.

So quick recap. Had emergency section 9 weeks ago. Opk's said I ovulated on the 26th December, dtd but got my period last Thursday, bleeding stopped 3 days ago, got a flashing smiley on clearblue opk yesterday and then today I start spotting pink blood and I've cramps. I'm so confused. Took a pregnancy test and of course its blank but I've no idea what's going on.

Thanks lovely @Hopingrae I feel like I'm on such a rollercoaster I've had spotting every day but no actual period yet. I'm so confused. I would love to think it's a new pregnancy but the spotting is causing me doubt. I will test again over the next few days if AF doesn't arrive.

@Bey oo...if it was BFN at the hospital then this has to be a new pregnancy, right?! There's a definite line there! eek maybe test again in a couple of days to double check progression? But that seems promising! Will keep every finger and type crossed for you!

So I've taken a 25mIU one that I ordered off Amazon and I thought BFN but there's the faintest of lines so I really don't know what to think!

I'm in Ireland so not sure how it works elsewhere, but I would go to your gp and get a hcg blood test done to test how strong it is. Can you do that where you are?

Thank you and I am so sorry that happened to you today! I bet you did, well done for managing not to punch her. People are so insensitive.

I literally want to run out of the room when anyone starts discussing pregnancy in work as I was quite open about wanting another close in age to
our toddler so people are probably expecting me to be at some point and I'm scared of someone asking and me bursting into tears or something

@Gracie1825 @Bey I have everything crossed that it’s great news. Remember if there is a thread that is full of luck it’s this one.

someone at work asked me if I was pregnant today. I’m not. I wanted to punch her.

It is, keeping everything crossed for your BFP.

i just need to have my proper period not this spotting so I can accept that im Not pregnant as the not knowing and the am
i aren't I are driving me crazy

@Bey it's such a head melt..I think this first tww is probably the toughest as its still so far. Symptoms are increased urination, fatigue and itchy nipples but only a bit( that's usually my tell tale sign.
Keeping fingers crossed still for both of us

I'll hold off a few more days and if no period will test again but I think because I've been spotting every day it's unlikely to be a new pregnancy. My heads such a mess.

fingers crossed for you. What symptoms have you noticed?

@Bey thats what I'm dreading... I think either keep testing with the sensitive one and it will get stronger if new pregnancy.
Testing with a less sensitive test will probably show a negative but that doesn't mean that your not and the levels may just have to grow more... I think either way you need new more days and a few more tests to get more confidence in result
Im convinced I have symptoms but trying to hold off testing for longer as only 7dpo at a guess

No, I was tested in hospital and told it was negative, but stupidly didn't realise those tests are less sensitive so I've probably just got a line because it's more sensitive and it's left over hormones. Wish I could stop obsessing so much

@Hopingrae crying is good and I'm glad you let loose. The emotions we feel with loss is so bloody intense.

This just seems very soon after my period, like 2 days after but it is a while since I had a period so maybe I do build up.

@bey that looks positive to me. Did you test before this and were they blank because there's your answer. Fingers crossed for you?

I'm glad you did @Hopingrae as I didn't know that about the tests being different sensitivities so it was helpful actually.
im sorry you got upset at work im sure your manager will understand. We're humans not robots.

, im struggling as no one at work knows as it happened whilst I was on annual leave anyway. Every time anyone mentions anything near what would have been my due date I feel so upset as I start thinking I would have been going on to mat leave by then.

@Bey it's all just so bloody hard. You're definitely not stupid! And there is a chance it could be a new pregnancy, for sure. I'm so sorry I jumped in with talking about the sensitivity of the tests, probably not helpful at all!! I cried in front of my manager today as she asked how I was, which felt like a massively loaded question (it wasn't, she was just being nice), I think it's because it's my first tracked ovulation since my latest loss and the prospect of TWW followed by disappointment is too much. I so hope we all get our BFPs very very soon!

I have ordered some 25mIU strips from amazon so they will come tomorrow I'll try that. I think it's just from the miscarriage. I'm stupid I should never have taken one.

@Bey yeah I wondered if that might be a possibility as they're super sensitive... Best bet I guess is take another one in a day or two and check line progression?

I dont really know but could guess around the 2nd. So the test I used was more sensitive than the hospital and that's why it's still showing from the miscarriage do you think?

@Ella31 do you usually get a build up over a few days? I only test with the clear blues that are smiley or blank, so not sure how long flashing smileys can build up for?! I've had positive opks at CD10 before. I'm CD12 today so hoping I'm only a couple of days away from ovulation.
