June/July TTC Thread❤️ CONTINUED

@LuckyDuck93this 🥲 another friend announced her pregnancy yesterday. It brings me down so bad. My other half is so positive he says don't concentrate on others, this is our journey. He means well, but so far the journey has been well and truly shit! Sending hugs...we all feel it 🫶

@LuckyDuck93 hard relate!

CD13 for me today, a slight rise in lh strips today.
Feeling a bit fed up today & I know you will all understand, it just feels like everyone in my friends and family is pregnant, I'm so thrilled for them all but just so fed up that everyone seems to find it so easy!

@ThatNimbleOP lovely! I'm suspicious that I have low progesterone. I'm going to make some calls and see about going privately and what my health insurance would cover. You almost want something to show up on the tests so you can take a tablet or injection and get on with it! Baby dust to you too ✨️❤️

@ForGiddyDreamer sorry to hear your DPs Dad is unwell. But I know exactly what you mean about hoping he's back. You don't want to miss a month! Since my loss my DP has started shift work so we'll have to be more creative with timing sex this time 🫠

@Taysonic you poor thing. Let's hope you get clarity today. With my Feb loss my bloods were tracked for 2 weeks until they went down to 3 hcg. I continued to rise too, but very slowly. They thought I might have a second ectopic in there somewhere because of that. I didn't thankfully. Let us know how you get on.

I'm cd 7 today. Was meant to see the doctor on Friday to start the discussion about fertility but they cancelled yesterday. It's rescheduled for today, however, so dandering round there for 1015am. DPs dad is very unwell at present in hospital. He's heading off to hospital today and then staying at the family home through the weekend. Plans to be back Sunday. I feel like a terrible person because I hope that he's back and feeling up to it as I'm due to ovulate Wednesday-ish. Obviously I hope his dad is OK too but you know what I mean. Awful it's all I can think about sometimes.

@SureLook my daughter is also 2.5! We've not had a single positive in that whole time though. Maybe a very faint one in January around 7DPO, but absolutely nada. We've just stopped breastfeeding and all doctor's said it could the contributor as i fell first time with DD. I think i have a thin endo lining going off of scans too which i feel could be the culprit. Waiting on partner's sperm results done last Friday for the full picture!

I'm sorry to hear about your losses, i guess silver lining is you can fall pregnant and there's something to work with. Wish i saw something on those bloody tests 😥

Lovely to be on a thread with you all though, babydust to everyone xx

@Taysonic gosh you're really going through it aren't you! Hope you get some clarity today, look after yourself ❤

@EmPeEf I know. It's so hard not to get sucked in and convince yourself!

@Nightshift110 I'm really sorry but I would prepare for the worst. Your tests being lighter than last week at this early stage and your digital dropping down in weeks isn't a good sign. I'm really sorry, I don't mean to be negative. I know how shit it is ❤️

@ThatNimbleOP I have a two and a half year old DD. I've had two losses in a row since January so I've been referred to the recurrent miscarriage clinic. My appointment isn't until March but I can start trying again and if I fall pregnant the EPU will scan me at 6/7 weeks and start me on progesterone. How old is your child?

@Taysonic I'm so sorry to hear all that. It's so hard when it's being dragged out like this. Sending hugs ❤️

Hi all. Nipping in as could do with a bit of a hand hold today.

To recap, I had a MC in March. Tested positive again in June, but a private scan at 6 weeks didn't bring good news. Referred to NHS who couldn't find the location of the pregnancy and found a large ovarian cyst.

Had repeat bloods which showed hcg levels dropping. And I started bleeding on Monday. So, had made my difficult peace with it being another miscarriage.

Had some additional blood tests on Tuesday in relation to the cyst, and had a call last night to say my hcg levels had risen since Sunday. They're now obviously concerned about an ectopic.

Heading back to the hospital today. Don't know what to expect. Head is all over the place. Really just want this chapter to be over.

Thanks @SureLook! We've been trying since October but would say this is only the 5th month of "properly" trying. Have recently stopped breastfeeding as well, which was another thread i'd started. Hoping this could help us or at least provide more of a baseline for investigations :)

What's everyone else' story?

This mornings test with first wee, still not as strong as it was last week. But it's there which is more than yesterday. Plan to stay at my boyfriend's all weekend and rest. I've still got a little hope it's just a scare but I'm prepared for the other.

I’m really trying to stay level and not get my hopes up, but I’ve started cramping and I’m 5 or 6 dpo. Sometimes I wish I were completely ignorant about the entire process and what it could mean. It’s the hope that kills ya! 😭

@Mummysparrow delighted for you ❤️ all good here. I've tested negative now so just waiting for AF and then starting again 🤞🏻

@NiftySheep my first period after my D&C was bog standard. The next two after that were more painful, shorter and a shorter luteal phase from late ovulation. Then things settled and I ovulated on my next cycle on CD15. I got my BFP but that was a blighted ovum. I haven't gotten my period yet so let's see what happens this time. I think, like you say, it's just hormones and everything settling back down.

@hollyhocks2 I had so many friends on mat leave at the same time as me. And have since made friends from baby groups and classes. Most of them have either already had their second or they're pregnant. It can be hard when you feel like time is moving on!

@LuckyDuck93 hopefully you get your peak soon 🤞🏻

@ChaE05 I don't know much about that at all. What can you do to raise your testosterone do you know?

@Nightshift110 I'm so sorry. I think getting bloods done as already suggested is a good idea. Praying everything is OK 🤞🏻

@megan345 hopefully it comes soon!

@ThatNimbleOP welcome and good luck!

@amey44 oh that looks good!

@amey44 its looking good 👍🏻

Ok I done this at 4pm gonna do another soon if it’s lower then I give up lol

Hello!

Please can I join. 9 or 10dpo, I don’t temp so going off of sticks and feeling! Refusing to test this month but been cramping a lot today and yesterday which is normal for me mid-cycle…

Baby no.2!

I always put my tests in the same place, with the same lights on to try and get them as similar as possible. CD7 today on our 9th cycle. Thought it was the 8th but I counted up and it's not 😢So hoping this will be it. One 8w miscarriage and one chemical since we started TTC #3.

I’m so sorry @Nightshift110 😣

still waiting for ovulation here🙃

I don’t think that’s an accurate reading by the app because the picture is dark. Click it and adjust the sliders for the proper ratio between them.

Oops I meant first pic is CD 11

It was a bit lighter and definitely not a peak the second pic is my CD 11 test so I know my body can create more of the hormone it’s just so frustrating

I'm so sorry @Nightshift110 I hope it's not. Sending you lots of love & strength. So many of us here have unfortunately been there too x
