CD1 ttc after loss carry on thread #3

@UrsulaSings123 I take the Together Health version of all the vitamins I mentioned before. I like ones that are more natural and easy to absorb. I might swap the pregnancy ones back to Cytoplan though. Got pregnant on those with healthy DD before, they're just gross to take and have to take them in the morning 🤢 DH doesn't take any fertility stuff, he has weird stomach issues so he's on a different random concoction of supplements, much to my frustration. We're both having tests at the GP at the moment so will see what they say

@samilicious can I just ask which coq10 are you taking, and is your other half taking this also? I think I'm going to start taking this as read good things about it, but there's so many I'm not sure which one! Also some of them are like £60 for one months supply which is obviously expensive!

@Bugdem123 thanks for sharing that, gives me some hope. Really hope it all goes well for you!

I've had cramps this morning and spotting so think AF might be slightly early (due Wednesday) but that makes sense with the earlier ovulation. Would have been a 25 day cycle which is quite short for me. I really, really hope my cycles return to normal quickly. That was always something I could rely on.

@Bugdem123 hooray, big congrats! I had a massive negative then two days later my tests looked like this, based on my scan I was probably a similar stage so I doubt it’s an indent! Keeping everything crossed for you that everything progresses well 🤞🤞🤞 it is hard to believe at first but stats are on your side

That’s definitely a line! Congratulations @Bugdem123 x

@SnookyPook thank you 🩷 he had finally woken up haha. I don't think he can believe it either. He's like "but the lines aren't dark" 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Hope you're all having a lovely Easter Sunday x

@Bugdem123 congratulations lovely! How exciting! Is your OH awake yet?! 😃

Thank you all for confirming I'm not seeing things! I'm flipping between being excited, to relieved, to petrified and to convincing myself they're both indents and it'll be negative tomorrow.

@UrsulaSings123 thank you! it's been 7 months since my MC but we didn't try the first month so 6 months of trying.

@ThelastRolo20 @CluelessInLondon thank you 🩷 I honestly can't believe it.

@samilicious these are from this morning so 9DPO I think. I need to time to fly by so I can take another test tomorrow!

@jellyfish2 thank you! The tests I did yesterday were totally blank so I'm hoping so much it's not an indent.

@Bugdem123 huge congratulations!! These are the tests I use and they're so reliable. So happy for you 🩷

@samilicious thank you - that does reassure me. We always think the worst don't we. I guess it's just the fear it's never going to happen but you've made me feel better, I need to remember what my body has been through having the MC and surgery.

@Bugdem123 definitely wake him up! Are these the tests from last night then? Must be a strong bean if it has lines like that this early!

@jellyfish2 mine are still about 3 days since my TFMR 14 months ago, but have gotten heavier over time and cycles have gone from 21-28 days in that time, so don't worry I think it's normal after MC. Especially if you needed any surgical intervention. Frustrating and worries you to death but annoyingly normal. Mine have increased a lot quicker since sleeping better, taking coq10 and omega 3 as well as a pregnancy multivitamin I was taking anyway

@Bugdem123 There's no "think" about it, that's definitely a line! Congratulations, this is amazing news - keeping everything crossed that this is a sticky one for you. ❤️

@Bugdem123 ahhh congratulations. How long did it take you since your MC? I hope this one works out well for you. Christmas baby.

@Bugdem123 that's definitely a positive! Congratulations 🎉👏🏻🎉😍 lie in? Definitely wake him up 😂

@samilicious luckily I saw them last night as I don't think I'd be able to hide the shock on my face at the minute. I really need my husband to stop his lie in so I can freak out with him 😂

@Bugdem123 omg!!! On a cheapy as well. There's definitely a line there. Congratulations!
Your dreams told you before the test did. Will you be seeing family today with it being Easter? Must be so hard to keep it in, but a distraction to let the news settle in at least

Never mind pineapple cores, looks like we need Easter eggs for implantation ;) @Ladyinpink1 I'll happily take that advice on board

@UrsulaSings123 sorry you're feeling down, it's hard when they say 'you're most fertile right after', when there's actually no truth in that. Hope you're ok and the busyness distracts you ♥️

TW - poss positive test

I think there might be a line this morning. I can't believe it.

@UrsulaSings123 sorry to hear your tests are negative. My period was really really light and only lasted just over two days which I didn't expect as it's totally different from my normal 4 days so I'm slightly worried about it. Hopefully yours is more normal.

@Bugdem123 sounds like a good start to the day to me 😂 8DPO is still early! Hopefully the dreams are a good sign 🤞🏻🤞🏻

@UrsulaSings123 I'm so sorry. The negatives are always hard. I think there is a lot of chat about being super fertile post MC which is probably true for some people but it obviously wasn't the case for me and I think it almost set me up for more heartache as I was soo wanting to be one of those women. I hope you can find some nice things to do this weekend and when AF comes and know we're here for you.

@HerbaceousPerennial congratulations!! That's amazing news 🩷 do you have a date for your 12 week scan yet?

I had such a terrible sleep last night - the most vivid dreams and couldn't get comfy. I decided (because I am a clown) to do a test this morning at 8DPO and it's obviously negative 😅. Hope you all have a lovely day. I'm out for dinner tonight and currently eating an Easter egg for breakfast so the day is going well for me so far 😂

@UrsulaSings123 I'm sorry - the first few months for me post miscarriage absolutely sucked, my brain couldn't think of anything else except getting pregnant, after all there's all those stories of people getting pregnant fast after loss. I hope it doesn't take long for you to get pregnant again but remember not everyone gets pregnant in the first few months after loss and that's normal (definitely not easy though). Try to find something for you that you enjoy if your period does arrive, it's definitely a time to be extra kind to yourself xx

@UrsulaSings123 always disappointing when it's negative but as you say first cycle post miscarriage so it's never a bad thing to let it all settle, I think it's taken me a couple cycles to get back to normal.

Hope you have a few nice days planned. When is AF due? X

Negative again today. Definitely out this month. Don't feel pregnant at all. My boobs are always the first thing and they're totally normal and not even the faintest of faint lines on a frer at 10dpo.

Nevermind. Launching into another busy day so probably won't think about it again until later on. Onto the next month. Just hope my period is normal as it'll be first one post MC, and reassuring myself that we were told not to try this month anyway so it's not like I've lost anything really.

Hope you all have a good day.

@HerbaceousPerennial bloomin lovely news! Must be hard to get used to, but maybe a good thing to protect your brain a lil bit while you wait for the weeks to pass and it feels real. Long may the good news continue ♥️

@jellyfish2 fingers crossed you're not waiting too long 🤞🏻 I try my best not to think about it, so hard when you get a reminder though or a big milestone happens, like signing up to preschool, worrying everyone else will have siblings apart from her :( oh well, she has the dog who she loves to play / dress up until then 😂

@Confusedandtired90 crazy how much things like that alter our hormonal balance. TTC after loss definitely increases symptom watching, that's why I try and distance myself from the dates. Therapy helped me loads with that kind of stuff too, just focusing on enjoying life instead of what is coming next

@UrsulaSings123 smep is apparently what drs recommend but I don't know about you, I've never actually caught DTD even that often 😅 I've only ever been pregnant when DTD once or twice that month. Not sure how it makes sense but trying for years and they're the only times for me

@GoldDustWoman90 I'm so so sorry 😢

@Bugdem123 that's crazy! Mine has fully switched, so weird. I used to like having an 'AF welcome committee buffet' 😂 and properly lay out a lil party buffet plate. Made me feel better about her visit

@ThelastRolo20 yay another member of the non tracker club ♥️ maybe that's the way forward, supporting each other in avoiding tracking / just making the most of life

@UrsulaSings123 sounds like you have a lovely few days coming up ❤️

Negative tests are really hard to see so completely normal to feel a bit crap about it, although I still say you're too early to test 🤞🏻🤞🏻
