I really need some advice, I am all over the place and feel so alone. I had my first cycle since my MC on the 7/2 my previous cycles have been between 25/28 days never later. I am now cycle day 30 ( my app says should come on today) I have on off cramps, and seriously achey back absolutely no pain/tenderness in my boobs and I am to prettified to test because I think I secretly have hope. What would you do in this situation? I'm scared to test to see a bfn as it's triggering but I am also wondering whether I could be pregnant again.

Sorry for your loss. There's so much at play when you have a loss. Your body is recovering so it's very likely your cycle will be out of whack for a while. I know it's triggering to see a bfn, it also might take a while to get pregnant or could happen very fast. I don't want to advise you to take a test if its traumatising for you, but you seem so anxious understandably that it might calm you from worrying.

@Rockyslife If you are pregnant I’m sure all will be fine re alcohol!
with my first I wasn’t trying he was my little whoopsy baby 🤣 and the weekend before I found out I drank so much alchohol I was certain my little boy would come out drunk! The midwife reassured me all would be fine!

Rockyslife · 07/03/2024 08:58

P.s part of me wants to come onto a flow because on Saturday I had a bit of an accident and got carried away and drank a lot of alcohol at my besties engagement party ( I was feeling a bit self destructive and didn't expect to catch so soon after a mc) not that I have caught but you know what I mean

@Ella31 i remember getting a really achey back the month I got my BFP, when i worked it out it was at 9DPO. I’m can’t say I normally experience it, certainly not this bag anyway, maybe the odd niggle here and there. But it has been pretty intense at times today so hopefully it’s implantation and not just achey back ramping up for AF

I really hope this is it for you. I'm second guessing every feeling I've going on.

@@Ella31 oh it absolutely would be amazing. this achy back is really niggly that me tonight. I’m not sure if I can feel really light cramping too but I might be making that up. I’m going to try and wait until Monday to test if I can.

Is that normal for you @Ncl31

@Ella31 inhad slightly cramping on 6DPO.

today I’ve really suffered with lower back aching, trying not too think too much into it and holding off as long as I can to test. Checked my cervical position today and it’s still high, but also I know that can vary so not holding onto too much hope.
are you still planning on testing on Friday? AF is due Monday right?

I am testing on Friday, are you? I'm the same high cervix last night but trying not to read into it.

The cramping has eased off but I just don't feel it's my month

Yeah af is due Monday. Wouldn't it be amazing if this turned out to be it.

Sorry to those that have got their periods, but I hear you - finally good to have a fresh month!

No period for me yet day 4 of spotting.. BFN too so I’m just in suspended misery 😫😂 I know you all feel my pain. PMT emotions are high too so I’ve got teary twice today already, joys!

ToeBeans24 · 06/03/2024 11:54

@Ella31 how long are your cycles usually? Do you usually get cramping this early? X

Before my emergency section 4 months ago they were around 31 prior to that pregnancy. Last month it was 36 so I reckon they are still regulating. My ovulation was 5 days earlier than this month as well.

Yeah I'm certain I do get it. It's like a dull ache this time though

Ella31 · 06/03/2024 10:49

My head is wrecked. 7dpo - slight cramping has begun that I usually get before af rears her ugly head. I also and this will sound weird get this trickle feeling like I can physically feel it coming but it doesn't. All these sadly are signs af is coming for me.

Hope ye are all doing ok yourselves.

TicklishDreamer · 06/03/2024 10:20

@Onthedouble123 sorry about your BFN & spotting!
its a new month! Let’s both hope for our December babies!!!

Ella31 · 06/03/2024 09:31

@ToeBeans24 that's brilliant. You should be covered, it's often the days before the peak. Fingers crossed for you.

@Onthedouble123 sorry about the bfn and spotting. Hope those treats were nice. New month new start. Xx

@Ncl31 we're literally on the same timeline. Really hoping we have some luck.

Last few days have been so rough. I hate the tww. I realised the only time I enjoy each month is ovulation because I actually see two lines 🤣

ToeBeans24 · 06/03/2024 08:29

@Onthedouble123 sorry about your BFN. But yay for wine!

@Ncl31 thanks so much. Gutted it’s fallen when DP and I are apart tonight but glad I did another test last night to pick up peak. So hopefully that helps and again tomorrow. I think peak lasts for 48hrs doesn’t it so hopefully that will be ok!

Eugh to the dreaded 2WW! Queue obsessiveness from me especially after CP last cycle.

With both my pregnancies (no DC sadly) my symptoms didn’t start until after BFP so there’s still hope!

Onthedouble123 · 06/03/2024 07:54

I'm out. Caved and took a test last night to put me out of misery and was, as fully expected, BFN. Heavy symptoms yesterday and overnight and woken up to spotting which usually means will start in earnest over next couple of hours.
Had wine and treats last night.
Line drawn.
Onto a new month!
Good luck to all of those in TWW 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Ncl31 · 06/03/2024 07:02

@ToeBeans24 that’s exactly the same pattern as we managed when I got my peak too.
From asking the same question and reading around it’s suggested that as long as you cover the day before and the day of your peak you’re in with a very good chance. Good luck, welcome to the TWW. I’m halfway now, no symptoms at all, other than mild cramp/achey on 6-7dpo but I don’t have sore boobs, which I normally do.
Ive had some watery mucous from ovulation and I normally dry up but from reading that’s not really an indicator anyway.

ToeBeans24 · 06/03/2024 06:23

Hi all. Finally got my peak ! I did a CB advanced yesterday morning and was about to throw it as I still had a flashing smiley. But was crampy all day and just knew I was ovulating.

held my pee and tested again at 11pm last night and solid smiley !!!

only trouble is, I’m away tonight and can’t DTD! But did last night (first solid) and will tomorrow.

will that be ok??

DTD CD 10, 12, 13, 14, 15 (peak) and hope to 17?!

TIA you’re all fab! X

@Ella31 i only usually get cramps / back pain day before AF but I guess every cycle is diff. Fingers crossed for you!

emmatcc1 · 05/03/2024 11:39

I’ve had cramps in my previous pregnancy. They started around implantation which was 7 dpo and stopped a few days after af was due. They were on and off sometimes light and sometimes pretty strong. I rarely had cramps before af and if I did it was a day or two prior.

I do get back cramps before af so that's why I think I'm out. Its so deflating.

Congratulations on all of your beautiful bfps. I am due a flow on Thursday, so strange as this is my first proper cycle since my MC and I have no symptoms of a flow at all, boobs are normal, no cramps, apart from a really sharp pinch in my left side this morning, and pelvic aches. Just really strange! Normally have sore boobs at least 4 days before a flow! I guess my cycle and body could have changed since my mc

I was the same I had sore nipples etc during or after ovulation but nothing at all before period. Except a headache. I’ve just had my first period but it was very light and only on wiping. Now waiting for ovulation again.
