Anyone ttc in 2024 after loss?

Thank you @Nic2908 im keeping everything crossed for me to be pregnant and for it to stick. I just know it won't feel real until af is late though

@Bey this looks exactly like mind did at 10 dpo!! Keep testing and watch it darken, it’s the only thing that can provide reassurance this early. Post again tomorrow!!

Is there a chance it could be a false positive?

Oh gosh thank you so much I keep bursting into tears it doesn't feel real, I've not told my husband yet I didn't want to give him false hope. Think I'll wait until I have a missed period and a digital to tell him. I'm hoping it's a sticky one. How are you doing? Xx

@Bey I was planning to check in to see how you were doing... and what a lovely sight to check in to!! That looks like a great positive for 10dpo! It's slightly darker than the line I got on a frer at 11dpo for my DS. Everything crossed for you for a lovely sticky bean! x

Thank you so much I can't believe it, I hope it sticks 🤞🤞🤞🤞

@Bey I would say that's positive. Looks like my first test I had when I found out I was pregnant with my little boy! Congratulations! X

Took the other test and tried to get a clearer photo I'm hoping so so much it is positive 🙌🤞

Omg omg is this what I think it is? My heart is racing 10 dpo today

@mamataylor Thank you I think I will try and hold out best I can. Good luck this upcoming cycle for you

@Bey im exactly the same as I enter the second half of the TWW too so you’re not alone ♥️ I get so annoyed with myself as I do it EVERY time! Try and hold out until AF is due of testing early will only add to your anxiety. I’ve just finished AF so will be in the TWW in about 10 days x

I'm 7dpo today and symptom spotting like crazy I know I shouldn't and it's silly but can't help it, I've had pain in my breast, and stabby pains down below, the odd wave of feeling sickly, but my toddler is poorly and has been keeping me awake so could just be tiredness. I hate the tww I just end up wishing time away. I really want to wait until AF is due to test because I can't bear the disappointment of BFN then the hope of it still being too early then the disappointment of AF showing so I'm hoping if I can hold it's at least just one disappointment to deal with although I am pinning all my hopes on AF not arriving

@mamataylor @Bey aw thanks lovely ladies. I'll let you know how things go. We've decided we will book an early scan, probs around 8 weeks before my booking appointment with midwife which will be when I'm 8+5. In the meantime, one day at a time and lots of greys anatomy!
Wish you guys all the luck with this month! x

@mamataylor argh sorry AF arrived, I'm pleased you're feeling okay though, I completely agree with what you mean about the limbo I hate the not knowing in the last week of the tww.

fingers crossed next month is your month 🤞 it's so frustrating isn't it, just one of those things that we have zero control over!

@Hopingrae gosh that's tough with the pregnancy announcements around you. I understand what you're saying but try not to think that way. Sending you so so many positive hopeful vibes

@Hopingrae thats it! Hopefully next month is our month. It’s so frustrating when you do everything right and then you still don’t get a positive test at the end of the month 🫠

I remember with my daughter I had cramps in the 5th week and constantly went to the loo and thought af was coming! It’s definitely normal so try not to worry (easier said than done!)

try and push those thoughts aside - you’re pregnant and there’s a strong possibility that this one will go just fine and you’ll get a gorgeous little baby at the end ♥️ (I will defo be the same as you though, so you’re not alone!) pregnancy after loss is completely different journey - anxiety always shadows the excitement, especially before the 12 week scan! X

@mamataylor sorry af turned up, but good that you're feeling ok with it all. You're right, the limbo sucks. Onwards and upwards, another cycle closer.
I was out today with a friend and I felt quite crampy which really worried me. Seems to have eased off now but don't a lot of loo checking! I've had 2 close friends tell me this week they're pregnant after successful 12 week scans. I know this sounds really silly, but it makes me worry more because I keep thinking well if their pregnancies are ok that ups the odds of mine not being OK. I just wish we could know and not go through all the waiting. Grrr. Anyway, sorry to rant just had a few worries pop up today.

@Bey @Hopingrae af came right on time this morning at 6am 😫 I’m actually feeling ok about it though. I hate being in limbo with it all xx

Keeping everything crossed for you @mamataylor

@Hopingrae no sign of AF so far today. I didn’t test this morning either! I think I’ll test tomorrow morning.
symptom wise I’ve literally had sore boobs, pulling sensations/cramps & an on/off backache. I’m trying to stay levelheaded and not get my hopes up 🙈

@Hopingrae this is really promising news, keeping everything crossed for you to have a healthy pregnancy.

i think that's a really good idea to not track, I understand about early scans at first I was thinking if I'm lucky enough to fall pregnant again I'd like to have an early scan, but my baby passed at week 9 almost 10 so even if I'd had a scan at 6 weeks and all was okay by my 12 week scan it still would have been sad news so I think I'd try and hold out, however I don't know how ill actually feel if I'm to fall pregnant again.

I think taking it each week at a time and staying calm is definitely the way to go. I don't find all the tracking apps etc that helpful, I think it adds to the anxiety.

im going to TRY my hardest to wait until AF is late, I find I get obsessed and test test test and it's just torturing myself so if I can I'm going to try and wait until it's late. I'm so hoping this is our month. I'm not sure how much longer we want to keep trying if it's not as we're both getting older.

@Bey @mamataylor I'm doing ok thanks lovely ladies. I'm now 3 days post AF due date and I had a strong line yesterday morning so I've put the tests down and going to see what happens. I'm undecided about early scans, but I've registered for a booking appointment. To start with I'm going to tell myself "this is my fifth week off pregnancy" and not track any further than that and I've not downloaded tracking apps this time either. Last time I was obsessively tracking each day which added to the torture I think when I found out about mmc. But whatever we do, I don't think it's easy after loss.
@mamataylor everything crossed for you, I'm so impressed with your will power not to have tested before!! Have you had any symptoms? Sending all the luck you way.
@Bey sounds like you've given yourself the best shot at TTC this month definitely. I hope you're TWW passed really quickly for you! Have you got a test date in mind? I said I'd wait until 11dpo but started at 8dpo, which was obviously bfn! x

@Bey id like to say Saturday but I don’t know if I can wait that long 😂 thank you x

Thank you @mamataylor yes the second week is TORTURE. Keeping everything crossed af stays away and you get a BFP when are you testing?

@Bey hope it goes quickly for you! I always find the first week I’m fine but as I enter the second week I’m like a crazy lady symptom spotting!
I’m 14dpo today, af due tomorrow or Saturday.

@Hopingrae hope all is ok with you 🥰

so here goes the start of another two week wait, we've dtd every other day including what should be my ovulation day 4 times in total I hope we've done enough. Gosh the tww is just torture isn't it. I really really really hope this times our month.

@Hopingrae how are things?
