Lost my perfect little baby at the end of October. I was 15 weeks, baby was gone since 13 weeks. Planning to start ttc again in January. I am devastated and finding it hard to cope. Also extremely nervous about being pregnant again. Yet the need to have a living baby in my arms, outweighs the crippling fear. This little baby was my first too.

@Bey how confusing! The waiting is so hard, totally agree. Do you know roughly when you ovulated this cycle? I believe hospitals usually test urine at 25miu and FRER is 6miu, I think, so much more sensitive. Could you test with a 25miu and see if that picks anything up?

@Ella31 im not sure about that sorry. I dont track with OPKs because im still breastfeeding my toddler and it says they're not accurate if you are bf. So I'm not an expert. I think I conceived on day 9 or 10 of my cycle. We tend to dtd around then but also day 14 as a minimum and as many other times as we can lol.

im driving myself actually crazy. I've been spotting every day I wish my period would just arrive so I could accept it and love forward for next cycle. I've been an idiot and taken a first response test. I think there's a faint line, BUT is that just hormones from the miscarriage even though they tested me at the hospital on the 2nd and it was negative could this still be showing from then?

i don't know what to think, I'm obsessed I can barely concentrate at work it's all i can think about and the fact that im spotting every day can't be a good sign.

@Ella31 i think 2 of my pregnancies were conceived just as AF stopped so you might have ovulated early. No harm in trying earlier anyway

Thanks @Bey do you reckon I didn't ovulate the last time so? Would have been christmas eve.

How are you doing today?

@Ella31 honestly I'm not sure, I know some ladies who have ovulated around day 9/10 so it's not impossible.

moosey89 · 09/01/2024 14:37

@Ella31 sounds like you're headed towards ovulation so no harm in dtd!

Is it weird that it's so soon after my period? I wonder is it just my cycle being all over the place after the birth

Ladies need your advice - just got high lh and flashing smiley on purple opk - 2 days after period. Not pregnant, had full proper period. Is it possible I didn't ovulate last week and its trying again? Do I dtd?

Bey · 08/01/2024 19:00

Thanks lovely @Ella31 im still hoping a little but I think im probably in denial.

does anyone know if theres any truth in your finger going black under your wedding ring meaning you're pregnant?

I'm spotting so I think I'm going to get my AF in the next few days feel so gutted still hoping but I think it's VERY unlikely.

@Bey my first pregnancy ever , unfortunately it was a loss, I had implantation bleeding, like bright red - basically going against the grain of what implantation bleeding is supposed to like and it turned out I was pregnant. So don't lose hope. And if it is your period, you can join us all next month for the next time and the next hope.

Can I ask a question... I'm on CD11 of my first full cycle following MC. I've had a negative pregnancy test and started having EWCM which I get quite a lot of in days up to ovulation (sorry if tmi!) so hoping TTC had a chance this cycle. Thing is I'm still having spotting post MC! Medical management was like 5.5 weeks ago so guess it's still in the window of "to be expected", but that assumed as my cycle seems to be resuming properly that spotting would have stopped?! Had anyone else had this? DH and I have only just started DTD again since, so could be this maybe, cervical irritation? Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing similar??

@Ella31 you seem more positive today, your an inspiration. glad your cycle is back on track..I really good this is your month

Ella31 · 07/01/2024 11:44

My af finished up today. First af after my EMCS, total murder scene on day two but gone today. I was always a 3 day AF so that hadn't changed it appears. Kind of excited now as I'll be back tracking with my OPK's tomorrow. Roll on 2 weeks.

Bey · 07/01/2024 09:55

Thank you @Ella31 so lovely of you

Bey · 07/01/2024 09:55

It's so hard @christmasmistletoe when will you be ready to test? It's the worst wait ever! I wish there was a way you could just know instantly if it's worked or not! Sending you lots of luck and babydust

Ella31 · 07/01/2024 09:35

Bey · 06/01/2024 19:45

Thank you @Ella31 i feel like I'm being ridiculous but I can't help feeling this way

You aren't being ridiculous at all. I just want you to know it will work out.

christmasmistletoe · 06/01/2024 23:50

I’m really struggling with waiting finished ovulation on Friday been dtd on and off since Monday. I had my miscarriage just before Christmas I don’t no how I’m going to handle waiting to test. My boobs hurt very early on last time and I think they hurt now but I’m worried it’s my mind playing tricks on me.

Bey · 06/01/2024 22:55

@Gracie1825 keeping my fingers crossed for strong positives on the 16th although I just have a feeling AF will arrive for me before then

Gracie1825 · 06/01/2024 22:53

Bey · 06/01/2024 22:35

Let's hope so, they tested me at the hospital on the 2nd and it was negative so am I right in thinking if I do a test on the 15th and it's positive it can't be from my pregnancy loss?
I'm so grateful to be able to talk about this on here.

Yes definitely. I did tests myself and I had a faint positive and then what I thought was negative...I found it the other day and it had a faint line which I'm hoping was evap line but has me second guessing now that's why I need a strong positive

Bey · 06/01/2024 22:35

Gracie1825 · 06/01/2024 22:31

My plan is too hold off until 16th but we'll see. Since I've not had period if it's faint i won't believe it's a new bfp unless very obvious.
Hopefully the times goes by faster for us and we get the news we hope for x

Almost the same as me @Gracie1825 when are you going to test? I'm thinking if period doesn't arrive by 15th I'm going to test, I think it will arrive before then though already feeling pms type symptoms

Thank you @moosey89 hope you get your BFP soon

moosey89 · 06/01/2024 21:23

@Bey I felt like that a couple of months ago. Last month was a lot easier to deal with I found. Hang on in there xx
